Red light on memory-card when going in and out of sleep

Each time when my M,P, goes from and into the sleepmode, a little light flickers for a second from one or both of my memorycards...At the same time I hear an electrical click...
Is this normal??
Of course one has to open the side panel to see this happen..
Also when booting up, I hear the motor winding up up like a vacumecleaner, but then the sound gets soft : Normal??
Thanks

Hi,talked with an apple technician who told me the leds on memory boards lighting up is normal , when going in and out of sleep and also with booting up and shutting down...
The leds lighting up are marked as: Q3A1, Q3A2, Q3A3 and Q3A4, situated right of middle on memory board..This lighting up is accompanied by a click..and a winding down or winding up sound of a motor...
Your machine has this as well??

Why does the back light on my Tour keep going in and out?

All of a sudden (over the 4 or 5 days) my battery is draining very quickly. I take my phone off the charger at 8:30am and by the time I am driving home from work @ 5:00pm the battery is completely dead.
I also just noticed that there is something wrong with the back light dimming.
You know how if you don't touch your phone for a long period of time (mine automatically locks) then the back light dims slowly to black. My phone doesn't light up again until you touch a button or do something to the phone.
Since I have been having battery problems I noticed that after prolonged none use my phone dims to black and then immediately lights back up again on its own. And it continuously does this all day long, which is why I think it is killing my battery.
Anyone know why this is happening? I tried turning the phone off for awhile and then back on....nothing seems to help.
Help!

Try going through a clean application load of the BlackBerry Software. To do this see the link below:

Colorspaces and data preservation when going in and out of L.A.B for color enhancement

There was a similar post 2 years ago which did not quite answer this specific question.
I am using a technique to enhance colors by converting to LAB and applying the image in an overlay or softlight blend. My images in RGB are all kept in ProPhoto colorspace. They are all in RAW format (specifically Nikon's .NEF). When I switch to LAB and then back to RGB, it appears that ProPhoto is replaced by sRGB colorspace.
I am then converting from sRGB back to ProPhoto.
In this process, am I losing color data as the gamut is squeezed into sRGB that does not return after going back to ProPhoto?

Hi Stan,
My first instinct is to ask how you're switching from Lab back to RGB.
Your PS colour settings may have sRGB set as the default. If you're simply choosing mode / RGB, it will convert your profile to sRGB from the Lab colour space. Definitely not what you're looking for.
You have a couple of options if this is the case. You can open up your colour settings window by choosing it from the main Edit menu. Switch your default RGB setting to ProPhoto if this is what you prefer to use the majority of the time. You can save various custom configurations and choose them when they suit the task at hand.
Also, instead of choosing mode / RGB you can choose 'convert to profile' from the main Edit menu and configure your conversion there. I typically use prefer to use this approach since I can experiment with the various settings. It also ensures that I'm converting to my intended profile.

Sound volume dropping when punch in and out.

Hi,
I have an iMac 27" mid 2010 that I upgraded with 16GB RAM which runs Yosemite. I also have a focusrite sapphire pro 40 hooked to an octopre dynamic MK II. I am using Logic Pro 9.
When I record a band, after few punch ins, the software starts to glitch...
When I punch in, the punched stem is a bit quieter than the rest of the track, although nothing have changed in terms of levels.
Another issue is when I select the tracks I want to record before I press record everything is fine, then as soon as I press record all my tracks are record enabled apart from the ones I selected.
These issues occur always when the session is getting more tracks (approx 25/30 without any plug in just pure audio input)
Can someone please help!
Also I have a legitimate version of logic studio!
Thanks

I recently got a iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download my photos from the memory card for my camera, a Sony Cybershot. When I put my memory card in the adapter and plug it in to the iPad nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I recently purchased an iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download pictures from my camera to my iPad. When I put my memory card into the adapter and plug it in to my iPad nothing happens. My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the memory card is a Sony memory stick PRO duo 512 mb. I don't think I am doing anything incorrect. Is my camera/memory card incompatible with this adapter?

The Camera Connection Kit works with SD cards, not Memory Sticks.
Maybe you can find an MS to SD adapter, or use the USB connection with the USB cable that came with the camera.

The lights under my keys keep going on and off far too often ... Is there any particular reason for this or should I take it in for a service or what?

My iMac all of the sudden started going in and out of the dashboard, then started changing all files on the desktop to 2's. It also did this when having another window open. Do I have a virus?

There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X.
What files do you keep on the Desktop? How many?
Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
Here is Apple's take on the subject:

Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work.

Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work neither when chosen after pressing the button nor chosen in the apple menu..

I have had the same problem but on another forum it was suggested that disabling internet sharing would solve this. This fix seems to work on my machine - why it works I do not understand

Why isn't my last import saving? I can import the pictures from the memory card, but if I close out iPhoto the just "imported photos" are nowhere to be found. Please help

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

When using video camera on iPad 3 screen keeps going in and out of focus

Every time I use my video camera the image goes in and out of focus making the blurry there seems to be no settings to stop this help.

At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.
Here are the links, and the last one pertains to the reset to factory default condition ...

If you've tried the basic troubleshooting steps (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new), and you've tried charging from a wall socket and these all fail, then you have a hardware problem.
If your unit is still in warranty, you will be eligible for a replacement with a refurbished unit free of charge. If you are out of your warranty period, you will be eligible for an out of warranty exchange which will cost the equivalent of 200 US dollars.

I had 50/25 internet installed yesterday, and has been going in and out since. What's wrong?

Just to clarify, when I say going in and out, I never lose either "internet light" on my modem or on my computer. It stays connected but the speeds drop to basically zero and I cannot open anything. It seems to only happen when I have more than one internet page open at a time. For example, if I have a YouTube video playing and try to open Google, the video will stop loading and Google wont load whatsoever. This little outage lasts about a minute then both pages will reload. Until it happens less than 5 minutes later and I can't open anything again.
Is this a bandwidth problem? I have done speedtest multiple times and it's a hit or miss. When the internet is working I get a perfect run, but if not I'd be lucky to get past the ping test. I know **bleep** well 50/25 is more than enough to open youtube and google. Here is my latest speedtest. Like I said, it's hit or miss, I could go open another page then this wouldn't make it past ping.

My IPOD classic headport is not working properly. The sound is going in and out?

My ipod classic headport is not working properly. The sound keeps going in and out. I have tried changing headphones and checking the settings. Does anyone have any ideas?

Do a Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If the sound is still the same, but ok, coming from the bottom Dock connector, then try cleaning the headport, using a jet of air or some electronic cleaner.
