Sleep Light Most Annoying thing ever.

I was wondering if t here is a way to turn off the sleep light or if Apple could programm a way in the future to turn off this sleep light. I have my mac in my bedroom and cannot turn it against the wall or throw something over it. I have taped stuff over the light but this is sooooo ugly. I like to have a nice bedroom with my beautiful apple computer, not some taped up one. The other thing that drives me crazy is the Aiport Extreme base station lights. Whoever thought of these flashing lights needs to change it.

You do know that you can change the light behaviour of the AirPort Express station with the AirPort Admin Utility under "Base Station options", do you? Set it to constantly on, and it will be less annoying.
What exact Model is your iMac G5? Maybe you can install the ALS firmware Update to get a turned down light during the dark hours.
Each Mac with an ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) will turn down the sleep light intensity when it is dark in the room. With Portables this of course only works when the lid is open. Obviously otherwise there would be no reading on the sensors.

Flash Player is the Most annoying thing ever

Cant get adobe to work. It keeps freezing my computer for about 60 seconds when i try to watch youtube or something. 'Adobe flash player has crashed do you want to send crash report?' comes up on the screen. Then low and behold it starts working maybe 2 days later then it stops working again in another 2 days! And its a constant cycle like this.Its simply wrecking my head. I've read all the forums and tried everything, nothing seems to be working, and the 'great' people at the help centre gave me great advise, they told me to go to the forums!!! Is that their job to redirect people to the forums? Easiet job ever, i want that job, muppets! Sorry i'm ranting now but its so frustrating!

Hi, you didn't mention any computer info, but you are probably using FF(Firefox)? No one is going to help you until you post your computer information, 64bit or 32bit, browsers Installed and version numbers.
Flash Player is not the problem, it's everything that a user has Installed into their browser most of the time that causes problems. Or they don't have Flash Player Installed correctly and a hundred other reasons:-)
Thanks,

Spell check is the most annoying thing ever!

I have seriously come close to hurling this phone at the wall...!
because of the autocorrect spell check BS feature...
when is apple going to give me the ability to turn it off?
I ABSOLUTELY HATE A DEVICE THAT TRIES TO THINK FOR ME
IF I SPEEL SOMETHING WORGN - THAT IS THE WAY I WANT IT!

I'd like to see them improve the "suggestions" (just hire someone from blackberry for this, my (work) BB curve is light years better). iOS almost never gets it right.
I think that would make the fact that it is a 'click-to-deny' system so much more tolerable. I get so frustrated when it wants to correct a word I'm spelling the way I intended to, to some ridiculous word. Other times my word is only wrong by one letter and the correct word isn't even a suggestion.
Spellcheck/autocorrect and notifications are easily the worst two features of iOS.

Cancel membership - most frustrating thing ever. Why is there not a phone number??? Probably to avoid allowing people to cancel.

Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

Firefox Sync is the most infuriating thing ever, how has it lasted this long like this?

I'm sorry if this comes across as more of a rant than a query, but I am absolutely disgusted with how incredibly difficult it is to get Firefox Sync working properly (or perhaps how easy it is to break it).
I opened a previous support thread @ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/983868 but I was unable to get any advice that seemed to change anything.
I have tried 2-3 more times on the latest Firefox (27 I believe) with new profiles, clearing my sync data, and every possible combination inbetween, and I can never get my devices to sync reliably past, even the "First sync" progress bar fails while adding devices #2, 3, etc.
I got so desperate that I decided to try Nightly's new Sync (Firefox 30), hoping that things would have improved without the need for a Sync key (since I was confusingly getting sync key errors, despite entering it manually). Low and behold it STILL does the same thing, except that now I'm provided with an even more transparent service. I am unable to view my data quota, and Firefox doesn't even ask me for my master password now when I hit sync. That, and it's STILL complaining about the lack of a recovery key, when there is no such thing as a recovery key anymore, what the heck?!
In the course of a few hours I have created dozens of error logs, and this is all by trying to use just 1 Desktop installation and 1 mobile installation. I have probably approached burning over 20 hours trying to get Firefox Sync to work, and it's apparent that the feature is just flat out broken.
Even with all of the errors, some things sync properly like Tabs and occasionally preferences, but other things like history, bookmarks, and add-ons never work after the initial sync (or even during the initial sync). It seems though that the further away I get from the initial sync point, the less reliably these features work.
This may fall on deaf ears, but I thought I'd reach out for help one last time to see if anyone can help, or perhaps point me to a place where I can receive more technical support. If anyone is able to help, it would be greatly appreciated. My logs can be found here
Firefox 27: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4KtJAZ-pKFqZkMyZ3R5MTVRWFE&usp=drive_web
Firefox 30: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4KtJAZ-pKFqWXFtb3Y2ZWxiQ1U&usp=drive_web

I'm not exactly sure if that's a statement or a question, but it doesn't really pertain to my predicament.
I created an entirely new Sync account with brand new Nightly profiles, the only thing I brought over was my places.sqlite file, as I could not transport my history via any other means (passwords, bookmarks, add-ons, etc I all did via other methods).
The initial sync usually works, but after that things just don't seem to work correctly.
I also ran into another problem in that I cannot delete my sync data via
* https://account.services.mozilla.com/
I also tried deleting the account, which kind of seemed to work as I was no longer able to log in via the above website; however when I tried to create a new Sync account with the same e-mail address, it said an account already existed. I tried logging in to my deleted Sync account via Nightly, and it logged in as if it was never deleted.

Most annoying Problem Ever With New itunes update

I was updating itunes the other day to the latest version, once the update completed, i started to listening to music as you do, then the music stopped and itunes closed. ???? so i then installed it again once it wouldn't open and it wont install, when i install i am greeted by a message saying;
"There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to be completed could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor".
When i ok this, the install backtracks then installs again then it says itunes has been successfully installed on your computer....tidy!
But then when i try to open the program it tries to configure itunes the fails with the message "Fatal error 07" then even the shortcuts on the desktop fail.
I have searched extensively everywhere and done everything, uninstalled ever aspect of anything apple, bonjour etc. cleaned registry, disk cleanups. and it still fails.
If anyone has a solution to this problem i will be eternally grateful and you will be invited to my birthday party.
P.S - even bonjour doesnt work aswel as quicktime.
Thankyou, Chris

I have the same problem. Cannot clean Quick Time or Itunes to install new version and now I don't have Itunes. The Windows Clean up Utility is no longer available. QWuick Time is looking for cache files which is not there. I cannot use my Iphone.
Any help?

Is this machine the most annoying PC EVER?

is there any way that I can speed up my internet performance? I am so sick of watching that stupid little circle spin that I'm ready to buy a mac and just be done with it all.
What are the tweaks that will smooth out how this thing operates? Does anyone else see the same issue? Blame it on Vista if you want, but I have another vista box that does not have this problem.
Why is it that when I click a link that the little circle needs to present itself and spin for a few seconds before it decides to go to a link?
ALSO, what does that stupid circle continue to recycle every few seconds?? I JUST DONT GET IT?!!!!
By the way, I do not have McAffee.... Using Trend; which, all my other machines use as well.
What can I do??
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Described problem has nothing common neither with Vista nor Lenovo. It's your Internet - it may be slow or you may have problems with your router or you've launched torrents/eMule in backgrond. Many things can cause such behaviour but none of them can be adressed Lenovo or Vista.
Plese try using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1 instead of IE that is buggy. Also test your speed and post it here - that'll help to resolve the case.

The most annoying "Ad" ever

OK, I get it. You want me to pay. But I am not going to pay. And I am not going to listen to a 3 minute, 30 second long ad disguised as music, from a genre I consider junk, in the middle of a classical music playlist. The Mates of State are not Bach. They aren't Beethoven. They don't use violins, cellos, or flutes. You may think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I didn't come to Spotify to listen to The Mates of State.
Don't get me wrong: I will be happy to listen to real ads, because that's what I signed up for, ads in the middle of my playlist. But if you must force me to listen to someone else's musical tastes, well, then I will say goodbye. And that really is that. Google Music is one click away, and guess what It's free. What a shame. I was really enjoying listening to the collections people create here. But if I come back and here this hideous song by Mates of State again, if you insist that I listen to music I don't like, don't want to like, and well, refuse to like, well, then goodbye.

I came to complain about the same thing. I am sitting here listening to a playlist I made for my church and then this comes on. Some people might like it, and I might even listen to it when I am in that kind of mood, but to make me listen to a whole "song" that I didn't ask to listen to is terrible.

Most irritating thing ever! Please help

I received an MMS which started playing automatically when opening. Now the same music is playing everytime I receive or make a call. I deleted the MMS and looked in my playlists to delete the music. However the music is still playing everytime I end a call. please guide me to get this corrected

You've deleted the MMS.
You've deleted the file itself (if present) in your music files.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Now after rebooted and back running again, see if it persists.

Most ridiculous thing ever

I can't wait to get away from adobe software. what kind of greedy bastards charge $30 for over-the-phone tech support? I bought 7 adobe liscenses ($4,200 worth), and because I have CS3 (not CS4), they want more money to try and answer a question of mine (that they probably couldn't answer). The least they can do is give me a respectable attitutde on the phone. I called Apple for tech support on Final Cut, and didn't have one issue. Can't wait to switch over to Apple products.

Without a statement of what your problem is, and details on your system, no one can possibly help you.
If all you wish to do is rant, then the Lounge would be a much better place to do it.
No one from Adobe will ever see your post. We're just users here. None of us works for Adobe. Your complaints are falling of deaf ears, as far as getting anything done.
Now, if you wish for us to try and help you with your problem, please furnish all details.
Good luck,

Possibly the most annoying thing on the face of this planet.

Obviously I've done something horribly wrong because I absolutely cannot log into a computer I've been trying to set up for my parents. My parents have a 1.25 GHz eMac and needed Leopard installed so they could sync a new iPod touch with iTunes, since Tiger does not support iTunes 10. So I upgraded the computer via target disk mode with an iBook G4 that collects dust in my closet and restarted the eMac, followed through with the setup assistant and created an account. The problem is that directly after the setup assistant finishes and ironically tells me "Enjoy your Mac!", instead of going straight to the desktop like I'm used to, it brings me to a blank login box. It shakes no matter what I put in. Even the user name and password I just created. If anyone happens to know what's up, I'll be forever grateful!

Which exact procedure did you use? If you booted the ibook and installed to the e-Mac then the installer may have put an ibook version of the OS onto the e-Mac. If the e-Mac does not have a DVD drive you can borrow the ibook's drive by putting the ibook in TDM and do it that way around.

Absolute most unreliable thing ever

seriously. I wish I never brought the BT homehub, it's absolutely terrible. It's connected a lot of the time but it's ridiculous for gaming, I constantly keep getting switched from open to strict NAT, I get IP errors stopping me from connecting and it's just ridiculous.

you would not have bought the home hub it comes as part of your broadband package

My computer shuts without notice ever since I downloaded the sleep light

Help,
U have a imac G5 using Tiger. It seems ever since I auto updated a sleep light, my computer never stays on for more than 5 minutes without shutting down, or what appears to be going to sleep, however I do not know how to wake it.
I tried to use Disk Warrior but the computer will not stay on long enough to allow it to repair directories.
Any sugestions????

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music or dlete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

When my macbook goes to sleep from non activity when I return the wifi is not on. When trying to log back onto my hub it says it is out of time and I have to reboot each time. Most annoying, any solutions please?

If you are not using data and the iPhone goes to sleep, it will automatically drop the wi-fi, and will not reconnect until you wake the phone up. That is the way it is designed. The only way around that is to turn off cellular data while at home and on wi-fi.
Cannot answer the xbox question since this is an iPhone forum and I would have no idea.

Solid sleep light - not pulsing

Didn't want to just tack this onto another question, and I didn't see any answers when I searched here, so I hope no one minds another thread.
What does it mean when the sleep light stays on, but doesn't pulse like it does when it's sleeping? The only reference to the light at all in the manual is about it pulsing when the computer sleeps. We had a day when the light just stayed on solid after we (supposedly) shut down. I think we just figured it was in some standby mode, but in searching here, I'm betting we didn't let the computer shut down totally, because we had a heck of a time restarting it.
All's well now, and there seem to be no other issues (yet), but you'd think there's be some reference to the light staying solid in the troubleshooting section of the manual. I hope we didn't do any damage, but as I said, it's been running fine since. Has anyone else seen a solid glowing light?

If the light is on constantly, but the screen is
black, then the screen is asleep, but the computer
itself isn't, formerly Don.
The most probable cause is that you shut the screen
before shutdown of the computer had completed, but
there can be other reasons for a failed shutdown.
Its a good idea to keep an eye on such things,
because you can end up in a situation where, for
example, the procesor is still running when you put
the computer in a bag, with consequent heat issues.
As far as starting new threads go, go for it. Unless
your problem is clearly and obviously addressed by
another thread its actually a very good idea to start
a new one for your own particular problem. Otherwise
things can get very confused when posters are trying
to help out more than one problem sufferer. Often
what LOOKS like the same issue to the original poster
may turn out to involve something quite different,
and its easy to get lost in the ensuing confusions.
Cheers
Rod
Thanks. The MacBook was closed, so I can only assume the display was asleep. I'll bet you're right, though, and we just closed the lid before it finished shutting down. Since then I've been so paranoid, I've been waiting a good 20 seconds after the screen goes dark before closing the lid. I sure can't hear anything happening even with my ears right up to the vent.
And thanks for making me feel better about the new thread. Some forums get touchy about such things.
BTW, the only reason I'm formerly Don G. is because for some reason when I logged into my account, it made me go through the sign up page again, and said there was another user already with Don G. No kidding. That's me!
