Serious battery query - anyone seen anything like it?
Hey,
I own a 6gb ipod mini with serious battery problems (or so it would seem). It was a birthday present that I received in mid-August this year, which makes it only 4.25 months old.
A couple of days ago (Christmas Day, actually, lol) I was warned that the battery was very low after 1 hour of playback and so plugged it into the USB port on my PC to charge it.
I had never seen this message before, as I often listen to my ipod in the car, plugged into a Belkin FM transmitter that charges the ipod while it plays - thus, my battery had just about always been at full power when it was out of the car.
This rattled me a bit, but I dutifully charged the ipod for about 4 hours, after which the battery seemed happy again. However, tonight after listening for only 20 minutes, the ipod shut down, so I plugged it back into my computer and looked for possible causes/solutions to this problem.
Apparently, using backlight and the equaliser can drain power considerably, but in 20 minutes!? It is also recommended to use an AC charger rather than charging via USB, but they are expensive things to buy...
I've also reset the ipod and reloaded all my songs back on, but i doubt that this will help.
My problem seems to be a common one, but i've never seen it occuring so soon in the life of an ipod, and was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem?
It may have something to do with my Belkin car charger, who knows?
Luckily, I am still under warranty, and can hopefully get a new battery...
Since resetting (as mentioned in my post above) today the battery has had a new lease of life...not sure why, but there u go. I have been able to use it without hooking up to a power source for about 3 hours so far
I don't even know how to put my PC into "sleep" mode, so that wasn't the cause of my problem.
thanks for your suggestions though.
For now, the problem is resolved....just like to know why resetting helps the ipod battery or its meter at least.

Bizarr screen artifacts! Anyone seen anything like it?
I,m getting really wierd screen artifacts when I have lots of windows and programs open. Red and blue boxes. The move around some. They cover the screen and are not window defined, ie the seem to be oblivious to windows. Seems to go away when I close some programs. They dont seem to be associated with particular program.

I am trying to generate a 50kHz sine wave output on the DAQ card and then simultaneously recieve. I am using a PCI-Mio 16E-4 series board to do this. Has anyone done anything similar. I can generate a 50k wave no problem, and recieve one, but I can not get these vis to run together? Any suggestiosn
Jrod, yes you should be able to do this, actually there are quite a few example programs come with LabVIEW that handles simultaneous analog input and output, I check the specs of the board you use, the board should be able to handle the sampling/generation rate, but make sure for 50KHz sine wave, you would sample at least twice as fast, preferably ten times the generation rate, then this puts the sampling of the board to thew limit.
The program you can try is attached here, good luck with the application,

Apple TV 1 is used exclusively for music playback. The device is often in use 4 to 8 hours daily. I have had no problems with it in over two years of use. In the last few weeks it has started a new behaviour.
At random times but not always, it will simply stop playing the playlist and return to a menu screen. Playing music again requires selecting a playlist and pressing play. The device continues working and does not require restarting or resetting.
I have browsed the topics for Apple TV 1 and have not found anything similar to this problem.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. -
Anyone seen damage like this before?
My son was on a school trip and was rooming with a few friends in a motel room. My son was sitting at the desk in the room, and one of his friends was sitting to his left on the end of the bed with his MacBook Air in his lap. The power cord was connected to the MagSafe connector on the left side of the laptop, and it was plugged in to an outlet by the desk where my son was sitting, with the cord stretched across the walk space between the bed and the desk. Someone knocked on the door and my son got up to answer it. My son's foot caught the power cord, which should have simply pulled the MagSafe connector loose. However, my son's friend is claiming that the cord somehow got caught in between the two halves of the laptop and caused the damage shown in the photo. This is even harder to fathom since my son was moving in the direction away from the small gap between the two halves of the laptop.
The laptop didn't get pulled from his friend's lap, hit the floor or anything else. He's just saying he heard a loud pop sound when the end of the cord pulled through the gap. Of course, the issue is his friend's dad wants my son to pay the $200 he was quoted for the repair. Is it plausible that the cord could do this kind of damage, especially considering it didn't fling a computer as light as an MacBook Air across the room?It's definitely a fake MBair. No apple dealer would touch it. Compare with a real 1st generation machine.

Has any one ever seen anything like this?
This randomly pops up on my computer and freezes it, I erased my hard drive then restored, and it happened again. I went to apple store and they kept it for two days and did the same thing, then said if it happens again its probably something in my library, and as soon as I got home it happened again so I'm obviously putting whatever it is back on, when I restore from time machine. Can anyone help???
I thought it had worked, I have been really busy with work so haven't been using my computer much. I thought it was good, but two days ago it started happening again. Could you please help me with instructions to do the things you recommended. I would be so grateful. Below is the error message detail.

Lost partial sound, speakers work but keyboard, music, text alert does not except on headphones, please help!
If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

Has anyone seen an app shimmering?
Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a screenshot, but I went to the app store to download xcode, and it said it was already installed. I opened the app launcher and scrolled through to find it. When I found it, it was shimmering. Like it had little stars all around and behind it blinking all over the place. For the life of me I can't reproduce it. Has anyone else ever seen anything like it? google comes up empty.
It's normal, apparently to get your attention when a new app has been downloaded:

Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player. Does anyone know how to get around this? I don't know how to wipe the hard drive, and the support online doesn't seem to work.
As posted previously:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
If installing Leopard the process is similar in some respects. If you wish to begin anew then after selecting the target disk click on the Options button and select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. To install over an existing system do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
Screen is "half out." Anyone seen this before, anything I can do?
Hello,
I am a first time contributor to the Apple Support Communities. I have a 2006/2007 era MacBook pro that the screen is half out. I would like to get this fixed for my wife to use as her desktop, but I would like some guidance before I take it into a Genius Bar. Has anyone seen this before? Is it an easy (inexpensive) fix or is it not worth it (given the age of the machine). Any help would be beneficial. The machine runs awesome, I can use it, as long as i use the top 1/3rd of the screen.
Thank You,

I heard that there was a problem with Apple being vulnerable to Hackers. Has anyone seen an update for this issue? My IPad received the update last night but I have not seen anything for Safari.
Mac OS X 10.9.2 was released today for this issue and others. Earlier versions are not affected.
See this Apple article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6114
You can use the Mac app store to do the update or download it directly from here - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1725
Best of luck. -
Has anyone seen a Component that Creates a Transition Like This?
Has anyone seen a Flash Component that creates a slide transition similar to this... http://www.silversea.com/
Looks like there is a looping background image and the other slides are loaded above it (hopefully via XML?) and the transition effect maybe in a component???
Thanks for any assistance!It looks like the black and white image for the transition sits atop the others and the transition involves masks being moved over that black and white image to reveal it and hide it. The color imagery is switched out behind it.
I believe this is a handcrafted piece, not involving any component, though it might be something one could buy as a ready-made product that accepts different imagery via xml. -
Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at the Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malware?
Both devices are on Verizons 4G LTE network. Both devices do have some of the same APPS installed. Can this be a case of him connecting to a rogue wifi network of a hacker that may have installed malicious code on his devices when he connected? That would explain why only his devices have the same exact issue only at BWI airport.Something similar I've experienced. I was once having to use a AT&T hotspot and the iPad simply refused to access my mail via the mail app. But if I used safari I could get it. So the internet was working, but my supposition is that something with the hotspot's firewall messes with mail exchange.
next time your boss is at BWI, do you guys have a web interface? (for example if I wanted to access my work mail I could get them to set it up via the mail app and exchange, or I could go to a certain web address and access my mail that way via safari)
He could try using safari and the web interface if you have it.
If it's something in the hotspot's firewall I doubt it's anything that can be changed. -
Pop-up window with an attempt to open a URL - has anyone seen this?
I was browsing a website for music lyrics when a suspicious pop-up appeared, along with a very small browser window (about an inch square on the screen). This has happened twice even though I have pop-ups blocked.
The pop-up had the Safari icon and looked like a standard mac window. The text contained the following:
<edited by host>
Antivirus 2009 will perform a quick and 100% free
scan of your computer for Viruses, Spyware and Adware.
Do you want to install Antivirus 2009 to scan your
computer for malware now? (Recommended)
There is a cancel and an OK button at the bottom.
The small browser window appears to be contacting the onlineprivatescan.com URL
I did a force-quit because I did not want to click either button.
I reset Safari, and ran the DNSChanger Removal Tool
from macupdate, but it didn't find anything. I have not loaded codecs from any websites and I had just completed the latest Apple updates for OSX, Quicktime and iTunes before this problem occured.
Has anyone seen this? Is this serious? I've never had any problems with Safari before this.Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger automatically checks your downloads for malicious software and content that could harm your system or collect information from your computer. You can read more about that here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2340
If you feel you need added protection, read on:
SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X. Called DNSChanger Trojan and also known as OSX.RSPlug.A Trojan Horse, the software attacks users attempting to play a fake video file.
Upon attempting to play the video, the victim receives the following message:
“Quicktime Player is unable to play movie file. Please click here to download new version of codec.”
Upon running the installer, the user's DNS records are modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
SecureMac's DNSChanger Removal Tool allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac. A white paper has recently been published on the subject by SubRosaSoft, available here:
http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?mainpage=document_general_info&cPath=11&productsid=174
Also, beware of MacSweeper:
MacSweeper is malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland based computer security software company on January 17, 2008

The latest news on the subject, from July 25, 2008, is:
Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.
The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.
In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.
Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.

1) When attempting a recent backup with HotSync on my desktop PC (Treo 700p, HotSync Manager v. 6.01, XP): I hadn't backed up for a few weeks, and this time it crashed sometime during the backup of the Calendar (and this behavior is repeated). So I then unchecked the backup of Calendar, but then it just hung on Contacts for about 15 minutes, so I realized it wasn't doing anything anymore (I have lots of contacts, but not not 15 minutes worth). At this point I gave up, but I obviously need to figure out how to make HotSync work again. Any ideas?
2) (not sure if this is the forum to address this): When using Backup Buddy v. 2.04 a couple of days ago, every time I tried to backup, it would get maybe 1/5th into the backup and crash and restart. I figured out in short order that Address.DB is what was causing the crash. [I tried to e-mail the file so I could examine it and save it, but just attaching it in SnapperMail made the device crash]. So I took the chance of deleting the Address.DB (as it seemed small and didn't appear to contain any backup information), and it looks like all of my information was retained. My question here is: two times since the initial problem, something has recreated Address.DB, which again causes the 700p to crash, so I have had to delete it again. So when is this file being (re)created, and what is the purpose of it?
An additional (minor) difficulty that I've had occur on a couple of occasions: After a recovery (where my BackupBuddy information was more current than my HotSync data), I restored, and all the calendar entries were double - 2 identical entries adjacent to one another. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks in advance -

Anyone else seeing this (in book module)
