Small issue but very annoying....
When using the dashbaord to access the calculator in Snow Leopard it would overlay it over the project i was working on. In Lion when accessing the calculator it takes me to a new screen. This is very annoying as i like to see what im working on while using the calculator at the same time. Now i have to swtich back and forth between screens. I know in the grand scheme of things this is a small problem but its very annoying. Is there a way i can make the calcualtor work as it did in Snow Leopard?

Very strange but very annoying problem?
Hey everyone, quick question about something that while not a big deal is very annoying. For some reason even though im the only person who uses this laptop its my brother that os x seems to think is the owner. In other words any scenario where os x has an auto fill or something it always puts my brothers name or email in. Incredibly irritating and ive no idea how to fix it.
There are no other accounts besides my own and ive created a card in the address book for myself and set it as "My Card", that is all i can think to do.
Any help appreciated.Actually in Safari its fine, its more programs that are the problem. Say iMovie for example it will fill the wrong details automatically into the template because somewhere on this thing it has my brother as the primary user/owner.

Very small portion of touch screen not working, but very annoying!
Whenever I go to use the letter Q or the number 1 while text messaging, that portion of the screen does not work.
However, when I brought up the calculator to test the screen out in all areas (as mentioned in the troubleshooting guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827), all of the numbers work just fine.
Has anyone had this happen before? If so, did a restore correct it? I've done everything but a restore. So before I go to that extreme I wanted to see if anyone else has endured the same problem and had it corrected. I know my iPhone 3GS is still under warranty, so I'm sure I can get it fixed at an apple store as a last resort.
I've never dropped the phone or had it come into contact with water or anything like that. I keep it secure in a case at all times and it's free of any scratches.Marc Wilson wrote:

Why do people even do this dance? You have a warranty, get the phone fixed.
I have to agree with Marc. No one here can "tell" you how to fix this problem as it certainly has to be a hardware issue. I have a similar spot on my IP (the #9 when I'm playing Sodoku). I have to tap it a couple of times to get "9" to take. I suspect I may have pressed that screen area a little too hard once, but I can live with it.
IF I were doing a lot of email, I would probably go see the Genius Man, but for now I'm OK with it. -
Small but very annoying problem
I am running with a GF4 ti 4600 128mb and Windows xp home edition.
My problem is that after I go to color correction and change the contrast/gamma/brightness and click "apply" then activate a game any game the properties go back to the original settings I had before. Which is the hardware default btw.
So how can I keep the brightness up? It's really annoying when you try to play a game and everything is very dark.
My monitor is also up to its full contrast also.If nothing else works, try changing the refresh rate of your monitor; usually lower refresh rates have a brighter image.
BTW have you tryed to use the on-screen controls of the monitor?

Small Issue - But it is really BUGGING me !!
When I type in what SHOULD turn into links (letters turn blue with a line under them and allow you to click on it) in either my emails or mainly for me in this situation now its my signature,,, email links seem to work but not actual web addresses.
It kills me and I can't figure it out. I looked for prefernces, searched in forums, etc... no answer.
Let me give you a exact example. In my signature (and also in some emails) I type in my web address and my email (along with name and number too obviously) for contact info and other various reasons. WELL when I either look at the "sent" email I JUST typed and sent, or if I look at it once I get replied back to from the receipiant, I see the EMAIL I typed has turned into a link, BUT the web address hasn't !! ?? It never does, and NONE of them (web address's) do.
WHY ?
I am typing them in the same way I do anywhere else and it works, why not in Mail ?
Also, is this JUST how I AM SEEING IT ? or is this how my receipiants are seeing it too ?
I want them to get the LINKS, not just typed letters.
Ever since I used computers I noticed once you type either a web address or a email, it AUTOMATICALLY turns into a link,,,,,,, So what gives here ?? How can one thing be turning into a link, but the other thing aint ?
Thanks --

1) If you type a web address starting "www." it may not display on the recipients computer as a link.
2) If you type it starting "http://www." it will.
I didn't think to explain how an individual email application parses text in messages it receives!
RR wanted a solution to ensuring that his url appeared in all circumstances as a clickable link (at the recipients end, {regardless of his composition view}), and composing in Rich Text and entering the complete html tag accomplishes this, and in the post I did state that the message had to be composed in Rich Text for this to work.
In the original post I did also explain that typing in www. was not sufficient to have the url represented as a link in all cases at the recipients end, but that one must type in http://. He was unwilling to do that.
Having said that, your correction about the advice on Signatures IS accurate, and is simply a reflection of observations of my email progam and that of those I send emails to. Hopefully RR will read this and better understand.
I have learned that there is always room in your mouth for your other foot! -
VERY annoying thing with XServer "Can't open display" after a while
This issue is *very* annoying I would love if someone could help.
I had this issue for a long time, thinking I'll fix it. I googled, but everybody seems to have the same problem, but no fix (only temporary ones).
So here's the problem : I installed archlinux on my (very old) laptop, everything works great, now I even installed the XServer, which however is causing this problem:
everything works good for a while, but after a while, I can't launch any new programs, but existing ones work good... If I try to start any X-App in an already running terminal, it gives me:
No protocol specified
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
However, all already running apps run fine, they even can create new windows!
The only fix I found for this is to kill & restart the xserver with ctrl+alt+backspace.
Here's my xorg.conf:

Three very annoying issues I'm having with my MacBook Pro... PLEASE HELP!
Alright I received my refurbished *2.4GHz MacBook Pro with 256 Vram* in the mail a few days ago. Since then I've had 3 reoccurring problems that are extremely annoying..
1. *_The MBP will not hold a WiFi connection_*. +The AirPort is always in scanning mode. It'll stay online for a few moments, then it'll disconnect and it just keeps repeating this cycle. I know it's not my router because I've tried it with other ones and it's the same issue each time. I know these don't have as good of range as the MacBook's, but I don't think thats the issue here. This is the most serious of all the problems, so any help would be appreciated!+
2. *_The MBP will not always load up after being in sleep mode_*. +I've read this is a common issue, but have yet to find a solution. This happens when I wake the computer up from sleep mode. The screen just stays black, but you can hear the SuperDrive boot up. It does load after a minute or two, but it is still extremely annoying. I've read it might have to do with the keyboard firmware update?+
3. *_At random times the computer will drastically slow down and become very "jumpy"_*. +This is an odd issue I haven't seen anywhere else. Its happened twice now and pretty much the computer slows down and the cursor becomes very jumpy and not smooth. I have checked iStat and it says I have plenty of resources left, so there's no reason it should be slowing down. I did install 4 gigs of RAM in it, but the computer reads it fine and I installed it correctly. I doubt that's the issue, but figured I'd throw it out there.+
Sorry for the long thread, but these are really messing things up. This is my first Mac and I'm hoping these can all be easily solved. Should make a Genius Bar appointment? Thanks again!I probably can't help much since I've never had these issues myself, but I will try.
How did you do your installation? For a new machine, many users recommend erasing and reformatting and doing an erase and install, which will allow you to deselect all the languages and printer drivers that you will never use. I don't know if this is absolutely necessary, but I have always done it.
Have you repaired permissions? You do this with Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder. You want to repair permissions both before and after installing any software. This is just good practice which will prevent many software glitches.
Concerning Airport, there was a recent software update which was supposed to fix some of the problems people were having. Download it if you haven't already. If that doesn't resolve the problem, it's probably worth taking it to the genius bar. My MBP does a remarkable job of holding a connection. It will even pick up a signal from the router across the street and hold it. There may be a configuration problem or something like that with yours.
My display wakes up right after the superdrive makes its noise. In just a few seconds. I don't know why yours should be taking so long.
As for the cursor freezing, I had that problem at first when I was running the Tiger 10.4.10 it came with, along with a number of sleep issues. It seemed like it would try to go to sleep and then freeze, as if it was not recognizing an activity as an activity. But the upgrade to Leopard took care of all of those problems.
I assume that your MBP shipped with Leopard, or at least with an upgrade disc to Leopard. If you happen to still be on Tiger, you might try going to Leopard and doing all the updates.
Otherwise, the genius bar might be your best bet. Probably faster than the forums anyway.
Good luck! -
Photoshop CS5 Issue - Very Annoying
Hello all,
I'm having a very weird (and needless to say, very annoying) issue with my Photoshop CS5 Extended. Any knowledge or help would be highly appreciated. FYI - I'm photographer so my primary use is image editing.
Basically, every time I make a change to a layer (apply a filter or change blending modes), Photoshop does not reflect those changes unless I hit Ctrl+S to save or perform another action (such as selecting a different tool from the tool-set). For example, consider this scenario:
- I open a PSD file that only contains a background layer.
- I duplicate the background layer
- I change the blending mode to "Multiply"
- Nothing happens to the image (no visual changes even though the image should have gotten darker)
- Now if I hit Ctrl+S to save the document, the screen is refreshed and now I see the changes.
I have no idea what might be causing this. I have the latest 12.0.1 patch installed. I have gone through my preferences to see if something needs to be checked but to no avail.
Any help will be appreciated.
FYI - I'm running this on Windows 7 - 64-bit
Thanks
-aliThat can be a good workaround, but be aware that some things won't work... For example, you won't be able to see a preview of your brush hardness using the Alt-right mouse button brush gestures. And of course zoom won't be smooth, and pans won't flip with inertia (big whoop). If you have Extended you may not find the 3D features as usable.
What I'd do if I were you is do some searches for people using your specific video card and see if any of them have found any older drivers that work better. Then bug nVidia to fix their drivers.
Alternatively, a really fine video card with huge speed and memory can be had nowadays for a hundred bucks.

My iphone camera got a dark spot. Im really sure that this happen to my cam not a screen.
A dark spot is very annoying when I want to take a picture.
I have tried to clean and looked for the way to fix it, but its not work.
If your iphone used to be like mine and you can fixed it, then teach me please.
I really need some help.Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems
I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems! I am paying monthly for this service and it is constantly failing in some way! So far in three months I have had to uninstall and re-install Photoshop THREE times because it stopped working properly and Illustrator I have had to do that same to TWICE! That isn't including the other apps that have had issues! I don't have the time to constantly be un-installing and re-installing all or some of the Creative Cloud because your developers are not making a product that works consistently for the money you are charging! It is costing me more than just this monthly fee! And I am even less impressed with the fact that I cannot email someone for assistance in resolving these issues. Really Adobe?

I'm a new user and learning, I bought and installed Premiere Pro cs6. I got a nice video clip but has a baby cried in the background and very annoying. I have tried all of the sounds in Prem cs6 but didn't work. My question is, do I need to get a separate sound software download and install to be able to use it?
In the CS versions, there was some audio capability in PrPro but you needed to get a separate audio program for major work. Lessening a baby definitely qualifies as major work. That's lessening, i dont mean eliminating. Adobe's audio program is Audition. There are others "out there'. In the CC versions one just downloads Audution also.

When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
Any ideas?I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
Other combinations FAIL
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
Thanks.
