Sherlock Behaving Very Badly

Does anyone know why Sherlock has been Scrolling Through Languages and Not Accepting Channels lately/ how to fix the bug?
I have deleted the Web Content folder in the Cache Folder of my Library and locked it.
Still no improvement.

Sometimes, if enough mac users complain on here, those geniuses in Cupertino work out a handy solution. With that tidbit in mind, I would like to mention I miss Sherlock. I enjoyed using it with ease to check movie listings, stock prices, and eBay bids. Although Mr. Cootey’s suggested fix helps temporarily, he is right that is a very mercurial bug requiring regular attention. My Dear Sherlock thinks I’m French on occasion, when it does function. Recently, I have seen “temporarily unavailable. Check back soon.” so very often I wonder if Sherlock finally met Mr. Moriarty, which led to the former’s unfortunate demise.
I heard a rumor Mr. Jobs will randomly “fire” people. I hope he didn’t fire the Sherlock developers. If he accidentally did fire them, would the nice lady who follows him around telling people they really are not fired, let them know that we would like for them to come back and fix Sherlock in Tiger? Soon? “Til then each of you has my empathy due to our loss.

  • My N82 is behaving very badly can someone please a...

    Lately I find that my N82 has been giving alot of problems.  It keeps shutting down. And now for what ever reason my calendar has gone completely blank .. all the dates are missing and I'm hoping that doesn't mean I've lost all the birthdays, anniversaries and meetings I've had programmed in.
    Another thing I've noticed.. the right hand nav. key was supposed to be the short cut for voice activated dialling.. but everytime I press the phone shuts down.
    Can someone please let me know what is going on??
    Thanks..

    you can try few things before you go to nokia care point. first of you have to back up all your data from phone and memory card. remove the memory card once that is done and try the following things. try number 1 and 2. #2 will erase all your data but will reformat your phone and it might help your issue
    1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is dead proceed with reflash if not, turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • MacBook Pro - Battery behaving very strangely

    I have noticed there are already many threads on this, couldn't decide which one to post in so am starting a new one.
    I have a MBP 2.33 C2D 17" from late 2006. Last year I experienced the 'expanding battery' problem, my battery totally warped out of shape and was not working properly. After a fair bit of trouble with Apple France (who basically said, too bad, buy a new one), I eventually was able to go above their heads and get Apple to send me a free replacement. This seemed fair seeing as I had bought my MBP within the timeframe of an official battery recall published on the Apple site. The new battery worked absolutely fine, and is now still less than a year old.
    Recently though, it has started to behave very strangely. I hadn't made any connection that it could be to do with having upgraded to Snow Leopard, but in retrospect, after reading many of the threads here, it does seem likely that this is the case.. I recently did a big upgrade from Tiger to SL on this very machine, and it has been since then that I've had very erratic battery behaviour.
    My symptoms are similar to many I've read here: The remaining battery time (when not connected to AC) will jump from say 3 hours down to 15 mins very suddenly. Then sometimes it will jump back up again. Sometimes my battery health condition will say 'replace now', other times 'replace soon' or other times 'normal'. Also, sometimes the machine will just go to sleep with no warning, even when it had estimated more than an hour of battery time left.. upon reconnection to AC, suddenly it says 0%.
    I have always been careful to power cycle the battery properly, to let it run down regularly. Also since noticing this problem, the first thing I tried to do was recalibrate.. But I've tried twice now with no success. I let the machine run right down till it went to sleep, then left it on overnight, waiting for the power LED to stop flashing on the front of the machine.. But it wouldn't stop flashing even after being left off overnight. I have yet to try an SMC reset, will do that next.
    I realize my battery is not brand new, nor is my computer. However, this was a replacement battery I received less than a year ago. I'll put the battery stats below, but I'm not sure I believe them because I've been checking what is says a lot recently and sometimes it even shows a full charge capacity of a negative number! Something strange is going on here. I obviously don't expect full performance from a battery nearly a year old, but what it's doing here seems to be more than just a case of a battery getting old, especially having seen that many other users are having a similar set of symptoms after going to Snow Leopard.

    Cheers.

    I just got off a call with Apple support. The tech agreed that my symptoms were not normal, even for a battery with a cycle count over 300 like mine.. especially with the fact that the system profiler is showing bizarre info that makes no sense such as a full charge of a negative number. He said that basically the only thing I can try is to do an archive and reinstall of Snow Leopard, since it seems that the operating system is possibly corrupted. I don't think it's anything to do with the physics of the battery, it is more likely that the OS is not interacting properly with the battery, thus giving false and conflicting readings and information.. He seemed quite certain that it can't be a problem with Snow Leopard itself, seeing as all of the laptops in the Apple Support office were on SL and did not have this problem. So in his opinion, a corrupted OS was the most likely explanation. In any case, he said that batteries are only covered by a 90 day guarantee, so if it turns out that after a reinstall, my problem doesn't go away, then I'll have no choice but to buy a new battery because they won't cover it... This doesn't seem very fair to me because if it turns out that the OS has nothing to do with it, then it must be a faulty battery, because this kind of behaviour is certainly not what I'd call acceptable for a battery of less than a year old.
    Anyway, I'll perhaps try the archive and install process on the weekend and see what happens.

  • Fios Internet connection is very bad! Please help!

    Hello,
    I play an online game called Final Fantasy XIV.  I use a program called WTFast in order to have a solid gaming experience, one without or very little lag or disconnects.
    Recently, within the last 3-4months, I have noticed I get EXTREME lag and DISCONNECTS.  I contacted WTFast with a tracert that they analyzed, and here is their response:
    "Your internet connection is very bad. There is a "plateau" spike. This will cause WTFast to spike as well, and for such a long "spike" it is not surprising that the connection was dropped.
    The previous report showed a very unstable internet connection as well (the one where you got a 30 second freeze).
    Present the same reports you sent to us to your ISP (Verizon FIOS) and ask them to try to make their connection better. The report will help them see the quality of the current connection."
    Here is the information in the more readable form (except for the last four as I figured you would probably get the idea by then). Yes, 4 shows 100% packet loss, so the connection dropped then. Also, in 5 the standard deviation is high (16.35 ms) which indicates a huge fluctuation in the signal. The flux column also shows large numbers, which indicates a large variance in the signal speed. Finally, there are a lot of hops just within the ISP, ie rows 2-8, and all this data is for the ISP itself, not the WTFast connection. In fact, that connection is the last one, and there you can see good numbers. Hope this helps.

    I did a tracert from my computer to sites like MSN.com; Verizon.com etc, and EVERY SINGLE 4 shows a 100% loss.  I did the same tracert from my computer at work that uses a different IP provider, and those same sites show a response from 4.  
    Can anyone help me out with this please!  Thank you for reading!

  • Address Book behaves very strange

    Hello members and outside viewers,
    First thing: My Address Book behaves very strange.
    - After startup, the window freezes. Only if I minimize and click again, works OK. I began used to it, BUT
    - Since yesterday, Addresses gone, disappeared from every entry.
    - Under Preferences » Address Format is uneditable, it has "Item3" in it, unclickable drop down menu.
    - Under Preferences »Template » Add Field several options are grey: "Phone", "Email", "Related Names", "Instant Messaging", "Address".
    Please can you help me! I deleted both plist files from Preferences folder and deleted the whole folder under Application Support/AddressBook, also reinstalled Address Book from Leopard DVD, but nothing helped so far.
    Second thing: when I invoke Spotlight, and start typing after 2-3 seconds, it quits and also Dock unusable, restarts automatically. Spotlight is useless, it behaves every time like this. Spotlight in Finder windows are OK, system-wide menubar has this error. Also, it was suddenly gone wrong like Address Book. Can I think of some virus?
    P.S. (off topic), might helpful to share: very frustating, that registering to Discussions took me over an hour.
    - With Safari 4.03 the "Name" and "AppleID" are blank fields on "Create New User Account", therefore impossible to proceed. ( Error: invalid AppleID. Please login with a different AppleID )
    - With Firefox you can actually see them, but "?" instead of accounted letters.
    - After changing My Info, I finally realised that Apple ID should be complete e-mail address.
    - That means my "visionfresh" account is totally different from "[email protected]" (or me.com, whatever..)
    - Not to mention that I created a new Apple ID, that was also not working.
    - Bottom line: my "[email protected]" account is working also in Safari after editing my Name (replace accented characters), but I could not proceed with the nickname "visionfresh", I chose "matyashuszar".

    Error message: "Warning: unresponsive script". Afterward, the system freezes and will then crash. Crash reports have been submitted many, many times without response. I have tried the fore-mentioned solutions with either no results or very bad results which I filed a report but did not receive an answer. The application to block scripts actually worsened the problem and I could not correct the situation for a while (no response from Firefox, at all). I have also been through this procedure without any one contacting me, AT ALL.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://http://www.facebook.com (always) and www.YouTube.com (sometimes)

    There does appear to be any support whatsoever from mighty "non caring" FIREFOX & people are getting fed up. We may as well try another system, if they can't be bothered to provide any support for their system, we can't be bothered to use their system.

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Hdmi adapter for Ipad has very bad resolution

    Hallo
    When i plug in my new Ipad digital-av adapter into my TV or projector the resolution is very bad and not shape.
    Do you also have this problem?

    You've identified that Acrobat's export of the image to PNG was spot on ("... on my Mac it is sharp.").
    Some possible sources of the web based image being of "bad resolution" present themselves.
    --| Some web based image hosting services provide uploaders that actually downsample an image.
    This is to reduce the image file's size and results in destructive remove of pixels. File size is smaller and resoultion can/does take a hit.
    --| There may be an issue related to the brower used. You could always install and try out other browsers to check this.
    --| You local machine may have a failing graphics card.
    There may be other issues. A web search might turn up some leads.
    Regardless, neither Acrobat nor Adobe Reader are web browsers and neither are "image viewers" for image file formats such as PNG.
    Be well...
