Screensaver comes on very often even when disabled

Something has happened with my system where the screensaver will come on every few minutes. I have turned off hot corners, told my display to never sleep when connect to power (which it is), and set the screen saver to never come on.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Ah ,yes, sorry about my confusing the sleep thing, but those are the 2 pref files that hold ScreenSaver settings info, that may or may not be the problem, it can also be held in PRAM, or NVRAM.
Does it boot into Open Firmware with CMDOption+of ?

Hello dreuer
Try out some of the troubleshooting steps in the article below, it will go into checking Bluetooth connections as well as restarting your iPhone.

If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Some feedback in SR 3-6322025251 ...
After some on-going discussions with Product Managers, they don't believe this is expected behavior in the 3 questions (q4), (q5) and (q6).
I have so created 3 new bugs for Development evaluation as no answer or known issue found.
I have created a spin-off SR for each question/bug as per our policy we handle only one issue/bug per SR.
You can follow each question/bug progress in the following SRs :
- (q4) Is it intended behavior to have updated version columns on rows that have not really been updated (as observed in step (sc2-g) and (sc3-g))?
SR 3-6838483321: Entity attribute with change Indicator and version history gets updated even if row unmodified in UI
Bug 16381918 - OBJECT VERSION ATTRIBUTE INCREMENTED EVEN IF ROW UNMODIFIED IN UI
- (q5) How can the NullPointerException (in step (sc2-h)) be explained/avoided?
SR 3-6838483348: NPE in oracle.adf.model.binding.DCIteratorBinding.executeQueryIfNeeded
Bug 16382070 - NPE IN ORACLE.ADF.MODEL.BINDING.DCITERATORBINDING.EXECUTEQUERYIFNEEDED
- (q6) Why does the message in step (sc3-h) mention 'primary key oracle.jbo.Key[10 ]' while the row that really changed has Deptno 20?
SR 3-6838483413: Incorrect primary key value from oracle.jbo.RowInconsistentException
Bug 16382246 - INCORRECT PRIMARY KEY VALUE FROM ORACLE.JBO.ROWINCONSISTENTEXCEPTION
Each bug has been published in MOS and are pending Development triage and evaluation.

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level.

When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level. I do not have this problem when listening to TV or watching movies streamed from DishNetwork. I contacted Netflix and they had me install a newer version of their software Silverlight... this did nothing to resolve the issue. They were not familiar with the issue.

Well if your on 10.6.2, you need to software update to 10.6.8
Perhaps you need to adjust the Silverlight (Microsoft DRM video plug-in) sound level itself too
Run a check here to see if your current on your Silverlight (works for all browsers)

Use another browser like Firefox and see if it continues.
Try another video file. They all have their own sound levels too.

Have brand new iphone 4s. Wifi signal is very weak even when very close to router. I have also an iPod Touch and when both are side by side, the iPod wifi signal is excellent and the iPhone wifi signal is very poor??!!! Hardware issue? or software issue? I was hoping it is just a software issue, but...
Saw may web sites discussing this same issue; many discussions point to hardware problems but there is no official word from Apple about it, which is disapointing !?? Few discussions point to software problem with solutions based on try and error, and they don't seem to work.

did not help at all; the problem continues the same

Silent Install Adds IE Plugin even when disabled

I'm trying to do a silent install of the JRE 1.4.0 & even when I disable the IE plugin option, it still gets installed when running from the script. Here's my .iss file:

the "SdAskOptions" section with a component count of 0 should skip the IE plugin option, but it's not.
The interesting thing is that when I did the manual install to generate this script, the plugin was not installed...it behaves differently when I run the install from the generated script!
Does anyone know what's wrong here?
Thanks,
Dan.

Hi,
look at this thread:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=14&thread=268807
I had the same problems with the silent installation of JRE 1.4.0_01 on Windows XP. The only chance to correct the unwanted Plug-In activation in IE is to modify the registry.
With the following commands you can patch the registry after the silent install:
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.0_01" /v UseJava2IExplorer /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN" /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501}\TreatAs" /f
But be aware of the fact, that any change in the registry is a kind of operation on the open heart.
By the way, I need some help for my topic concerning Java Webstart installation path(http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=32&thread=296708). Any idea?

Z3 Compact using mobile data even when disabled.

Hey there,
my new z3 compact is connecting to the mobile internet every 3 hours and causing costs! Mobile data is disabled in the setting and in the quick menu. WIFI is available all the time. In the settings it shows 0MB of volume for all apps. Besides the preinstalled apps and widgets I use only some apps wich are well known and can be trusted.
Now how can I see wich app/widget is connecting? And who pays my bills?? It seems I cannot trust my device and I dont like that idea.
Any advice? The Support didnt help much - told me to reset and wait for the next bill to see if it worked...

If you can't access some live statistics from your mobile operator at least you can try this.
Go into Settings / Power / Battery Usage.
There will be a graph showing battery discharge ratio and list of all apps using power below.
When you click on the app (yes, I know it will be annoying) for some of them there will be "Mobile data sent" and "Mobile data received".
For example in my phone under "Android OS" I have -
CPU total 1 hour 1 minute
CPU main - 16 seconds
Keep active - 9m 59s
Data received - 6,34kB
Data sent - 14,14 kB
Wifi received - 484 bytes
Wifi sent - 531 bytes.
Check every single app on the list. Maybe you will find it there. I suspect Google Play Services. Someone on the forum mentioned that they ignore disabling auto update. Maybe Google messed something with disabling mobile transmission?
There is a one, very hard way to disable accessing mobile network data if you don't need that.
Head over to Settings / More / Cellular Networks / Access points name (APNs).
There will be APN for your data transfers and for MMS. Leave MMS alone but delete data APN. You will be able to configure it again manually but as long as there will be no APN for data transmission your phone will not be able to connect to your operator and cause costs.

Embedded Image triggers action even when disabled - Agentry

Hi;
I am working on SAP Work Manager 6.0 customising, using Agentry 6.1.3. I have created these embedded images for triggering actions that act on the current selected object on the current screen. The embedded images have rules to display the enabled image when particular conditions are met and rules to display the disabled image when not met. To my suprise, the buttons still seem to trigger the underlying action even when the button is showing the disabled image. Is this standard Agentry behaviour or there is a particular way I have to implement the underlying action to avoid this?
Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks and Regards;
Sizo Ndlovu

Hi Stephen;
Thank you for the response. If I understand you correctly, you are saying I should put an action enable rule based on the enable/disable image, to say only enable action if image = enabled? How would this rule look like?
Thanks;

Download usage is going up very fast, even when no...

My son has BT Infinity and has tried to find out why the downloading keeps going up - upto 1 GB a day, even when he is not using the internet, and when they do its only things like facebook. He doesn't stream movies or anything like that. He went to work the other day and after a 12 hour shift it had increased by 5 GB with no one at home.
He spent 3 hours on the phone to BT customer support - only to be finally connected to a supervisor/manager who disconnected the call.
There seems to be no realy support from BT once this stuff is installed.
Has anyone else had problems with rogue downloading.
Also, is there a way to change the WEP security keys on the infinity box, he doesn't seem to have been left any instructions on how to do it...
He has now switched off the internet/BT infinity box.
Why can't you get decent support from knowledgeable people these days?
Regards
Russ

Infinity download usage seems to be recorded using a random number generator.
When I switched to infinity from standard broadband (option 1), the broadband usage monitor showed a dramatic increase - a typical month's usage in a week - even though we were doing nothing different.
The BT usage monitor hasn't been working for me for the last month, mind, so who knows what's going on now?
Hi.
It is more than likely that anyone's usage will increase enormously when changing to infinity from a different package - depending on your previous speed etc. Typcailly views on youtube might default to HD rather than a lower quality, and other similar things. You might view a webpage which may have video content still buffering when moving away, but with infinity the whole content could easily download due to the speed.
As you were previously on option 1, with a limited usage before extra charges - it would have been prudent to keep a note of the usage and be aware of what was being done online. However with the unlimited infinity packages, there would be no need to keep tabs on usage, even if it was in the "mind" so to speak. Hence usage can easily rocket.
What link are you using to access the usage monitor ?

Button label - want to look enabled even when disabled

I have a button that I want to be clickable sometimes, and not at other times.
When it's NOT clickable, I want othe button skin to disappear, leaving only
the label. I'm not using an icon.
To make it not-clickable, I set the "enabled" property to false in code,
and using the "disabledSkin" style to specify a transparent image.This
works fine. But the button's label is grey, not black (as you'd expect).
I want it to be black even when "enabled" is false.
Is there a style that pertains to this that I can control?

never mind, I found that using the "disabledColor" style on my button
does what I want. Thanks.

I click on my mobile me mail and the site "find my iphone comes up"; This happens even when I type in mobile me in the browser window! Only on firefox - not safari. What the heck? This just started today - and won't reverse!

I have mobile me mail service. Use mac 10.6.7. Have latest firefox. Suddenly only can get "find my phone" - not mac mail - even when I type in the mac.me or mobile me mail in the browser window. Safari seems to work fine.

I have updated ipad3 to ios7 and now battery drains very fast even when not in use

Why is my battery draining so fast even when I'm not using it . last night I put it down with 45% and woke up to dead battery. I upgraded to ios7 last week. I have ipad 3.thanks

Hi!
I have an iPad 3,3 GSM. I didn't update it since iOS 5.1.1. iPad works almost a week for me. And updated it to 7.1 at last Friday.
After update my battery drains notable fast. ~10-12% overnight(~8h) in standby mode. I've tried to turn off parallax, all location services and background apps. But nothing's changed.
So I''ve found that in usage section I ve almost the same values of usage and standby time. And I realized that one thing that drains my battery is "Find my ipad" service!!! I turned off it and my ipad works as with iOS 5.1.1:
2% overnight max!! And now it's drained only 14% after 4h20m of usage with parallax turned on! (yes i've only surfed web and read a book but nevertheless)
So it's your choice what to prefer - be sure that your ipad either protected from stealing or long battery life!
