Really Weird Bug?

I have this really weird bug on my mac. I don't think the manual says anything about this so I have come here. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, music starts playing. I have never heard this music before (besides during this bug) and there is no way to turn it off besides restarting the computer. Restarting the computer is a temporary fix, but the music comes back after awhile. No applications have to be open in order for the music to start playing. I have even quit all applications (including finder) in order to try to stop the music but none of it works. (And BTW it can start without itunes opening up. I never opened itunes and it all of a sudden started so it is not an itunes problem) I have absolutely no idea how to fix the bug, so somebody help?????

Hahaha it was a really big DUH for me, so Duh thats its embarrassing...sorry guys lol

Really weird bug, About This Computer/Storage

Hello,
Today when I was looking trough About This Computer I found this weird bug:
What I mean is that my drives are hidden abit under the other text to the right, I can't read what type my SSD is either.
This is how it looks on my friends computer:
Is it really supposed to look like that for me? I can't resize the window either.

It should say "of type Sata"
Do you have any idea why the pictures of the harddrives isnt centered with the text as it is on my friends?

Using iWeb to publish my mobileme photo gallery -really weird bugs help plz

I have a really weird problem and have tried searching the forums already with no luck.
I'm using iWeb09 to put mobileme photo album on my website. When I initially add the widget onto my page, the widgets will show a "preview" of what pictures are in the gallery if you hover your mouse over it. Later during the day, I'm not sure if I did anything to mess it up but that "preview" is no longer there. It's just a black box. It still works however if you click on it because it takes you to the mobile gallery.
The only way for me to fix it was to delete the mobile me album and create a new one. Then re-add the widget onto my iWeb.
This has happened twice to me already and I cannot figure out why it happens. I'm sorry if my description is vague. Please help.

There is no point in re-installing iWeb, because after you have published it really is not an iWeb problem - if there is something not working on uploading the files, then it is really nothing to do with iWeb after html pages have been created.
If you are using Fetch to upload, then you have obviously published your site to a local folder? If so, are the photos there when you look at your local site? If they are there when you publish to a local site, then it is an error in uploading and if photos do not show, it means that some things are not being uploaded to your server correctly.
Have you tried using Cyberduck instead of Fetch? Cyberduck or Transmit are two of the better ftp programmes to try.

Weird Bug Still On Going

I have recently upgraded my home PC with new motherboard, CPU and RAM. Since then i have a weird bug that i cant seem to get my head around to fix.
Basically whenever i am in the metro UI start screen, at random times when i left or right click it will hang my system with NO BSOD. My monitors go to sleep my PC is still on and the fans are still on as well as the LEDS andmy keyboard and mouse but
they are frozen.
I cant remote onto it from my logmein account to see what is going on.
I have tried the following:
change power options to disable sleep timeout
re installed fresh windows 8 then update to 8.1
changed my main HDD and re installed windows 8 then updated to 8.1
installed and updated all of my hardware (mouse, keyboard, motherboard chipset)
It is very random and frustrating as i am an IT engineer and i cannot figure out what is going on. I have estimated that my system at peak load pulls around 590W of power and i have a 750W Modular Gaming PSU.
I also have a NVIDIA GTX 295 Pre watercooled.
I really cannot think what this could be and would really appreciate some guidance/assistance with this. In my opinion I do not think it is to do with my PSU or GPU as it is ONLY doing this in WINDOWS 8.1 METRO Screen and nowhere elese not even the metro
screen in windows 8 before I update to 8.1
Many thanks in advance for this.

try to check whether this issue also happen in safe mode or BIOS, if still hang there than high possibility hardware compatibility or HW issue itself
try to remove all 3rd party HW like printer, LAN cable, usb dongle and do power cycle to isolate 3rd party HW compatibility or HW issue
if you suspected this is windows issue, I suggest create 1 partition and installed windows 7 or any others OS to proof that this is not HDD or any other HW related issue
because you already reformat your OS, I suggest try to troubleshoot from the hardware side first (HDD, RAM, connection cable SATA and power etc)

Dock acting really weird - Please help!

After installing the Mobile ME update and iTunes 7.7, my dock has been acting really weird.
1. I usually set the default dock size at the smallest possible. However, now when you left click on the separator of folders and applications, it allows the dock to become smaller than possible when setting from the Preference Pane
2. The dock automatically becomes smaller over time until the icons are really tiny.
Is this a bug encountered by anyone else? It really bugs me that I have to keep pulling the dock to a standard size. Can someone please help me out of this mess?

Hey VK
Thanks for the quick response.
I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
6. Choose it to be set at bottom
Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Is this really a "bug" in dba_tab_columns?

Hi Guys, it's Xev.
I have been struggling with this for weeks now. No matter what I do, I cannot get my procedure to see dba_tab_columns inside of my procedure at run-time. It just blows up and says
"cannot see table or view", that generic answer.
Is there really a bug or limitation with how I am using this dba view? is there something else I can do? it simply will not recognize the other custom users also.
I have two basic lines of defense here, but both of them do not what I need them to do.
Can someone please help me on this.
Ok, this is the "first method" that I have tried to use, it works great, but "only" for one user at a time. I cannot get it to "search" all the rest of the "user schema's". It finds what I tell it to,
but only in the schema, tables and fields in the user that is executing it. I've tried to switch out (user_tab_columns) for dba_tab_columns, but it blows up and tells me that it "cannot see the table or view".
This is my preferred method. If you can alter this to make it find other other users in other schema's through-out the entire database, I would do anything for you!!!

         end;
       end if;
    end loop;
end find_str;
NOW,
This is the second method, it also does a good job finding what i want it to, but still doesn't search the other users and other schema's. If you can alter this to make it find other users and other schema's I'll go crazy! LOL!
For test data simply create a table in your schema and put a "nine digit" number anywhere in the fields and both of these procedures will find them, but only for that "USER".
AND, that's my problem, I have to many custom user's to go on the instances and create procedures for each and every user. it's just not practical.
I really need you guys on this, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, if you can get this to find other users!!! GOOD LUCK!

Hi Solomon,
Ok, I understand the first 2 grants, but just to make sure this is what I think they are, I don't understand the third grant, so can you supply the actual grant statement.
Here are the first 2 grant statements. The users name is "directgrant1".
SQL> GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO DIRECTGRANT1;
SQL> GRANT SELECT ON SYS.DBA_TAB_COLS TO DIRECTGRANT1;
Can you please provide the third grant statement?
Now, this stored procedure code below, actually works, but it only finds the tables and fields within it's own schema. I have over 28 custom schema's to search for this nine digit number, so I need this stored procedure to search all of the schema's/Tables/Fields for a nine digit number in the entire database.
This stored procedure compiles and executes with no problem, but I need to use dba_tab_cols so it can find all the other users right? or is there a better way to do this Solomon?
As you can see, this stored procedure code uses "user_tab_cols" and only finds "one user tables/fields". If i use dba_tab_cols in it's place, then will it find all the other users in the entire database? That is correct right Solomon? Also, when i ran this procedure last night in my Test Database, it opened 3 cursors. Do we have to tell in in the code somewhere to close the sys_refcursor cursor? or does Oracle close it itself, since it's "implicit?"
Also, the tables that this will be "searching" actually have 40 Million plus records in them. Could this procedure cause the database to crash? Is 40 Million plus table records to much to use something like what we have below??

Text in Hebrew has gone really weird in Motion and FCP - please help!

Hi,
I have been working in a project for a long time, and produced hundreds of simple titles in Motion in Hebrew. The font I have used throughout is Arial Rounded MT Bold.
In the latest title I added one text object and made it Italic. Since then, all my Hebrew text in this title and now any previous title I open appears really weird (the vowles are disjoined from the consonants). I have turned off the Italics option on all the titles but it still does the same thing.
This occurs even in a brand new title, where I paste the Hebrew directly into a new text object.
I am desperate for someone to help me, as I have a tight deadline on this one. All previous titles I open appear the same, even though they were fine in the past. I have tried deleting the preference file.
I am using Motion 4 (FCS 3) on a iMac bought last year, quad core intel.
Please help!
Thanks

Thank you so much!
Arial did not work, but Arial Bold and Arial Hebrew did!
The font doesn't match what I was using before. I have no idea what it was using previously, but at least I can proceed from here. My previous projects have all been output to movie files so even if the motion files are now messed up, it's not the end of the world!
Thanks again

Is anyone else having a weird bug in MobileMe gallery with volume on iOS 5

Is anyone else having a weird bug in MobileMe gallery with volume on iOS 5? I am having a weird problem, where if I view a video I have uploaded and change the volume, I used the on-screen slider and It changed the volume but it also popped up like I was controlling it from the side. I thought that was kind of weird. If you want to see my problem, there will be a video up on Contemputech.com within a half-hour of me writing this.
Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I'm hoping you are no longer having problems with your iPhone visual voice mail.
I can understand how frustrating it is to not be able to access such a great feature on your iPhone.
We did determine customers not being able to access Visual Voicemail on their iPhones.
Common errors are "visual voicemail is not available" or it just keeps loading the message.
(In the meantime, you can still review voicemail messages by dialing *86)
This issue should have been resolved for everyone effective 3/2/12.
Please let me know if you are still having problems with iPhone Visual Voicemail by sending me a direct message.
Thanks for your patience with this.

Is My Iphone 3gs the only one that does this really weird glitch

ok i have a issue i looked everywhere and i did not see anything in the forums about this
when i am replying to a text message and auto-spell types something so i hit the back button/delete key to rewrite what i want to type and it does not delete the text it just goes over the letters and doesn't delete it and sometimes the cursor will just get stuck and sometimes the cursor when i am deleting text will keep going over the letters i am typing and doesn't do anything , so as i hit back/delete button on keyboard it just keeps going over the letters and does not delete its really weird, and this is my 2nd new iphone 3gs for a different issue, and they both did that.
what i want to know is if this is a hardware problem and should i take it in to get it replaced again which i hate doing,since i got a good iphone 3gs this time...has this happened to anyone else,or does this happen to anyone else
any help would great thank you

Well if it happened to 2 different iphones perhaps something is corrupted in your backup restore file. By restoring your new phone with this old backup restore file u may be copying over the problem.
Solution: Restore and setup your iphone as a 'New' phone instead of restoring from a previous backup. This should solve your problem.

WHY do we get a %*# update every 2 weeks while the 1 really bad bug (fonts and sizes randomly changing when typing) persists????

Is there any way to STOP TB from sending updates every couple of weeks (and BTW this has slowed down/crashed TB increasingly in the past couple of months) UNTIL they fix this really irritating bug of randomly changing fonts and sizes when writing a mail? Outlook doesn't do this, Apple mail doesn't do this, so TB stop spamming and start addressing real problems for a change!!!!

It would be helpful perhaps to focus on "the real issue" of font size and compose, rather to digress into how vendors choose to deliver the product.
font issues arose in the past year. I forget exactly when. It is quite a bad problem. My recollection is it was a serializer change not done by Thunderbird developers, and that part of it was fixed in version 24. But I could be wrong.
Would you be willing to try version 31?

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.

**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone.

Weird Bugs with new 4th Gen Nano

I've been getting weird bugs only a week after I bought a 16GB Orange 4th Generation iPod Nano on ebay New of course. First off, while at school the other day, it shut off and the apple screen showed for about 30 seconds. Then none of my 600 songs would play. However, I reset the ipod by pressing the center button and menu and holding them down for a few seconds. What do you think is wrong? Thank you so much.
John

I just bought a PURPLE 4th Gen Nano 8gig, and I have been having the same problem. If I skip to the next song more than 4 times, the Nano shuts off and reboots. I did have one particular song, when "played," that was causing it to shut down, so I removed it. I did not attempt to re-sync it. Now, if I skip to next track more than 4 times, it shuts down and reboots. This happens a few times a day. Depending on my mood, I may not want to listen to Rock tracks that day, so I skip them to get to my R&B tracks. Some days I want to listen to DANCE tracks. So, for clarity's sake, I do tend to skip songs a lot. But that should not be cause for constant reboots, from any MP3 player. It certainly was never a problem for my Sandisk Sansa e280, that I owned before switching to iPod.
Another item that bothers me is that my tracks are not all in alphabetical order. Or rather, I should say, they are listed alphabetically in multiple sections. Out of 1500+ songs, there are approx. 20 sections of A-Z. For example: If you scroll through the song list A-Z, you will not find Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy." But after Z, the list "continues" A-Z again!! But "Nature Boy" is not in that list either. The list continues on AGAIN, A-Z... and viola, there is "Nature Boy." In the THIRD section of A-Z of the song list. Anyone, have a clue as to WHY the entire library of music is not listed alphabetically? But rather parceled out in sections?? None of the tracks are repeated, each section of A-Z contains different tracks!! It makes finding a song you are wanting to hear, a real chore!! And is NOT indicative of a world class company, nor a world class product.
And before anyone reads off their teleprompter as to how "I should check to see that my computer is blah, blah, blah......" It IS up-to-date. Every driver, every piece of software, every security definition, every release, every add-on. I spent an entire weekend making absolutely POSITIVE that THAT issue was resolved. Vista SP1, Windows Defender, IE7, Firefox 3, iTunes 8, eve-ry-th-ing!! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I'm looking for a little thing called "real answers." Thanks.

Really weird laptop problem, please help!

Hi,
I just got a new laptop this weekend, Lenovo S205, everything is perfect and so far I love it.
However, one really weird problem i cannot find an answer for anywhere.
When I shut the laptop down it instantly restarts. Doesnt matter if I hold the power button down either, as soon as I let go it boots back up.
I have no peripherals plugged in or anything.
I'm totally stumped!!
Its really annoying as the only way to turn my laptop off is to unplugged the battery, or just let it run down.
Any ideas much appreciated.

Hi and welcome,
did you prove your energymanagement & a few windows settings at the end of this EM Settings in knowledgebase...
as well something could provoke restart instead of shutdown ...
Best is to exclude software failure, restore to factory condition with dvds .. Create Factory Disc
after factory restore ... if your S205 have same behaviour ...call your local service..

Really weird problem -- won't download mail from one sender

I'm having a really weird problem. Apple Mail won't retrieve mail from my Gmail account via POP3 from one sender only. All other mail is downloaded normally, except from a particular sender. What could be causing this? Thanks.

I am trying to remember and research something about the Junk filter and Gmail accounts. Have you checked in your Junk mailbox, if Junk in enabled and there is a separate Junk mailbox?
If you click on my name to the left, and look in the bio line of the resulting Profile, you will find an email address you can reach me with. If you email me at that address, I will send you a Gmail address that your sender can test sending a message to me at my Gmail account.
