Siri and voiceover not working well together

G'day,
I've been trying to help a friend use Voice Over and Siri together. She has limited vision so has to use Voice Over. The issue is that with voice over on, siri will activate when holding down the home button, but will not listen. Voice over tells us to click the Siri icon, then double click it to start Siri listening. But Siri just does not start.
Any thoughts?
Peter

Ipad and Mifi not working well together.

I have a consistent problem keeping my ipad connected on a Verizon Mifi setup. This is the second Mifi I've tried and same problem. Ipad connects and network connection works but will randomly drop. It will reconnect again to the Mifi and again randomly drop. Ipad and Mifi are always close so it's not a coverage problem. Ipad has latest OS. Frequently while connected I have a very long wait for pages to load.
Any thoughts? I'm ready to can this thing. Bty, iphone works flawlessly with the same Mifi.

Snow Leopard and Appleworks not working well together ...

Still a dedicated fan of Appleworks mostly because I use the vector drawing program for my design business. But, even though it works in OSX.6, it is much changed. The drag-drop images from web sites print out in dot-matrix quality. Every clicked on object becomes a "grouped picture". Therefore the object has to be ungrouped and then regrouped. The resize and rotate tools don't work. If there were other great drawing programs out there I would consider them, but I am considering going back to OSX.5. Also finding that some web sites don't like OSX.6 with Safari and my HP printers have terrible quality now and HP will not support Snow Leopard and older printers. Any other Appleworks users having problems? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them. You should also do this every time AppleWorks crashes as each crash will cause some corruption of the preferences. This may fix the resize & rotate issues.
AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
2. Open the image in Preview or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks.
PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks. I find the resulting graphic can be resized somewhat & the resulting saved AW file is much smaller than if using JPEG or TIFF.

Numbers and Spaces not working well together

I'm having a problem with Numbers while using spaces. When I have multiple spreadsheets open between two different Spaces, Numbers jumps to the spreadsheet that was opened first when trying to enter data into the second... I hope this is clearer than mud.
Anyway, I'm not sure why this is happening. It's VERY annoying, but I don't know if it's a Numbers issue or a Spaces issue. Suggestions?

Airport Extreme and Express not working well together

I recently got a new Airport Extreme, but still want to use my Airport Express'es to play music throughout my house via airtunes. The problem is that it seems that I can't see the Express anymore - they aren't showing up in the airport utility at all. (Using the recent updated Version 5.1 (510.18)). Anyone with any ideas?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Had the same issue. The AirPort Express is still looking for the old base station and it's network. (I'm assuming that you upgraded from an old base station). The way I remedied the situation was to do a hard rest on the AirPort Express and run the setup assistant included in the new AirPort software. When I just tries the setup assistant without resetting the AP Express I got nowhere.
give it a try.

There are no Mac viruses, only malware that requires your assistance to get installed. For more on this, see:

As to your problem, we can't say what might have happened without more information. Try restarting your computer, and if that doesn't help, we need to know what you saw and what's happening now in greater detail.

Can't use audiobooks AND Genius? And VoiceOver not working for radio?

Anyone know how to resolve this? In order to transfer audiobooks, I have to disable the automatic syncing from my nano. But it seems that this means that I lose the ability to transfer the Genius mixes that are created in iTunes.
Also, after much hassle, finally got VoiceOver to work, but it only works when I"m playing music that I already have stored and it won't work for songs on the radio... any ideas?

I'm not sure about the Genius working with audio books, but from what I understand, when you say that you want VoiceOver, iTunes goes through your music list and makes that voiceover prompt for each song thats in their. It can't do that with the radio because the songs aren't preinstalled on the ipod.

PS4 and Cintiq not playing well together

This problem relates to the Cintiq 21 UX & Photoshop CS4 ONLY!
I have a dual monitor setup: Cintiq 21 & NEC 19 LCD Opticlear Miltisync 90GX2. Both monitors are driven by separate ATI Radeon HD2600XT cards with 512MB video RAM. The system CPU is an AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual core 6000+ chip. I have loaded what I believe to be the most current drivers from this web site.
Start PS4 on the Cintiq side; load ANY image; get image with 6 rectangles overlaid and each rectangle is divided diagonally in half from URHC to LLHC. Lower half is good image; upper hald is either a solid color, grossly pixellated, or gibberish. Drag the image a bit and as long as it is being dragged it is a perfect image; stop dragging and it returns to the image with 6 rectangles. Drag across to the NEC monitor and image is sharp and clear while dragging but goes transparent upon release of mouse.
Start PS4 on the NEC side and all is as advertised. Drag only the image over to Cintiq and it is still good. Now drag PS4 over to the Cintiq side and all is still good. Open another image on the Cintiq side and problem repeats.
This problem is fully repeatable, does not happen with any other software, and renders PS4 virtually useless. PS3 works as advertised and always has. I've done 4 installs of CS4 to see if it was the problem including a thorough registry cleaning between installs. Situation is constant across installs. Oddly, Bridge does not exhibit the problem. I'm sending to Wacom as well. I provided 2 jpgs of what the images look like.
Any and all advice greatly appreciated
dave

Both monitors use the DVI connection on the respective cards, so no,
not at this time. Perhaps if I can locate an adapter I may be able to do
so. However, Photoshop CS3 has absolutely no problems with this set up
nor does Bridge CS4, only Photoshop. As Bridge loads with Photoshop and
is not a separate install, I'm thinking that while it could have
something to do with the cards/driver, there must be something more.
However, I've been wrong before . . . . .

Chronosync and iphoto 11 not working well together.

Has anyone else struggled to get chronosync to work with iphoto 11 libraries? I have; it often just gives me the spinning beach ball when I open the syncronizer, and if it does work then it is very slow and hasn't competed after a couple of hours.
Macbook and iMac running snow leopard, backing up to time machine.

I had thought of that. However, I have found that they will be persistently optimistic and keep suggesting methods, to try and fix problems, that are quite involved but not successful. If lots of people are having trouble and have unsuccessfully tried suggested methods I'll have to go back to time machine. If no one has then I'll approach them and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Cs6 and retina display not working well together please help

I just purchased a membership for creative cloud and installed photoshop and illustrator on a new retina display mac book pro. The interfaces look pixelated including the artboards. All updates are current.
I read that adobe latest updates are optimized for retina display. I have no idea what went wrong.
Thanks for your time

Ask in the product forums for specifics. As a start, check the applications using File --> Get Info on teh executables. Verify, that not accidentally half res/ low DPI mode is enabled. Also check in the "About" info that you actualyl have PS 13.1 and AI 11.2, not the base install. Run the updater to obtain those latest free updated versions.

SwingWorker and Action - not playing well together

I have a long running task. I also like using AbstractAction. But since these are both classes, and Java won't let you extend more than a single class, I figured I'd build a new abstract "SwingAction" class. This extends SwingWorker and implements Action. I leave the SwingWorker classes out and leave the actionPerformed method from Action out. Here's what I'm left with:
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.swing.Action;
import javax.swing.event.SwingPropertyChangeSupport;
import org.geotools.gui.swing.worker.SwingWorker;
public abstract class SwingAction extends SwingWorker implements Action {
     private HashMap map = new HashMap();
     private boolean enabled = true;
     private SwingPropertyChangeSupport changer = new SwingPropertyChangeSupport(this);
     public Object getValue(String key) {
          return map.get(key);
     public void putValue(String key, Object value) {
          if (value!=null){
               Object o = map.get(key);
               if (o==null || !o.equals(value)){
                    map.put(key, value);
                    changer.firePropertyChange(key, o, value);
     public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
          if (enabled!=this.enabled){
               this.enabled=enabled;
               changer.firePropertyChange("enabled", new Boolean(!enabled), new Boolean(enabled));
     public boolean isEnabled() {
          return enabled;
     public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          changer.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);
     public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          changer.removePropertyChangeListener(listener);
}I've implemented this in a class and it works great - the first time! It seems like once I hit "start", I'm not able to call it again. I've tried calling interrupt in the finished method, but that has no affect.
I'm including the class that implements SwingAction - you'll need to change it to do something else and hook it up to a button to try it out, but if you have any idea why it's failing to run a second time, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
P.S. Here's the class that implements SwingAction:
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class EnlargeImageAction extends SwingAction {
     private WMSViewer wmsViewer;
     private JLabel mapImage;
     private Cursor cursor;
     public EnlargeImageAction(WMSViewer wmsViewer, JLabel mapImage){
          this.wmsViewer=wmsViewer;
          this.mapImage = mapImage;
     public Object construct() {
          System.out.println("Calling action");
          return wmsViewer.getEnlargedImage();
     public void finished() {
          mapImage.setIcon((ImageIcon)get());
          mapImage.setEnabled(true);
          wmsViewer.setCursor(cursor);
          this.setEnabled(true);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          mapImage.setEnabled(false);
          cursor = wmsViewer.getCursor();
          wmsViewer.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
          this.setEnabled(false);
          start();
}

RDP and Java not playing well together

I have a Windows 8.1 Pro machine set up for RDP that connects to a field device network. The field network is not accessible from the Internet, so the only method I have to connect to the field devices is RDP through the machine. The devices use
Java for their GUI. When I log onto one of the devices in the field via RDP, the amount of memory Java uses goes up and stays up. Every time I log onto a field device, the memory usage goes up and stays up to the point if I hit 25 or so field devices, I get
an Out of Memory error and Java shuts down the main application running on the machine. However, if I log onto the devices directly from the machine, not using RDP, the amount of memory Java uses doesn't go up. The machine has 6Gb of RAM, rebooting it is the
only way to clear out the memory, which gets it back down to a more normal 14%.
Any ideas?

Hi,
What is the result if we connect to a normal Windows system via RDP? We should first find out whether this is a RDP side issue or a JAVA issue.
And for high memory issue, we have a tool named RAMMap to view the detailed memory usage

.Mac and Mail not playing well together

I am not able to use the .Mac account after someone else tried mailing themselves an email with many images from my computer. The message was too big to send and I could have done it another way. In any case, when I log into Mail the .Mac account hangs (spinning circle forever). When I iqut the program Mail either crashes or gives me the following message.
"Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online.
Additional information: Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"
How do I stop whatever it is doing and make it so I can use the account again?

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm getting the same error with a local IMAP account, so it's not just .Mac that's having trouble.

Mail and iPhoto not working well with Mountain Lion..

Is it true that Mountain Lion has been a big disappointment?
I am helping a friend with his computer and what it is doing is NOT normal. He has Mountain Lion, I have read not very nice reviews. Mail and iPhoto are not comunicating properly; 'sleep mode' takes forever and other small bugs that I am not used to having with a Mac. Any advice? Thanks!

Any advice?
Sure. Here's some advice. If you have a question ask it. Give detail. Explain what the problem or issue actually is. Don't editorialise, just ask the question.
