Small Triangle?

Only seen it a few times, but can't figure out what it means. Above the signal strength bars, I've seen a small triangle. It's been there in 1x and without. Have not noticed it in 3g or 4.
What is the symbol for?

Im starting to think Ann is right about the icon being a roaming icon... Are you still on the MR2 Froyo firmware or did you update to the Gingerbread update when it was released before it was pulled?
If it looks like this then this post verifies Ann was correct that it is Roaming....

Firefox 12 just installed on MacBook Pro, OSX 106.8. FF looks great, seems faster also. BUT, on tab menu, the small triangle (to list the tab info) is missing; I can't find a way to reinstall it using the View->Toolbars->Customise option. Can you help?

You will only see the "List All Tabs" button in Firefox 12+ if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.

Bug 714281 - Show the all tabs button only when the tab strip overflows

IMAP accounts locked out - small triangle lock error symbol

I use Apple Mail to read several Gmail IMAP accounts. Mostly, it works fine. I've used Gmail IMAP since IMAP was offered.
Every so often, one or more of the accounts will lock out. Apple Mail will display a small upward pointing triangle error symbol enclosed in a small circle, next to the account name. When I click that triangle error symbol, it explains "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account. The server error encountered was: Too many simultaneous connections. (Failure).
I have 6 IMAP accounts connected, but I hear other people manage that number fine.
The largest IMAP account has around 3GB of data, and I've heard that people get to 6GB with Apple Mail handling that well.
So I don't know why this happens. It is intermittent.
Using the latest 10.5.7 Leopard Mail.

The too many simultaneous connections is from gmail, not Mail. Google limits the number of simultaneous connections to their server to prevent someone from hacking into your gmail account. It mostly prevents me from reading my email.
When Mail opens a connection to an IMAP account, it generates multiple connects to allow real-time, upload, download, sync, etc. instead of one connection that must wait for the others to finish. Depending on the positions of the Moon, Sun, and Uranus, Google will identify this as too many connections.
I can usually unlock it by logging into the gmail web interface. I'm not sure why adding the connection clears up the other connections, but there you go.

Now if you compile and run these classes - u will c two triangles on screen
ONE IS ABC AND THE OTHER WTIH VERTEX A an dsides D E -
now D and E are not labeled coz I was having problems with the labels coz everytime i incremented the JSLIDer the triangle changed shape and the lables interchanged
Now what I am trying to demonstrate here is the Triangle Intercept theorem which states that when BC is Parallel to DE - no matter what the size of the triangle the ratios of AB/BD = AC/AE ----
and in my triangle i got BC as the line parallelt o DE - so i have got 2 triangles one ABC (SMALLER TRIANGLE)_ and
ADE - Bigger triangle
with BC appearing as the line passing through the midpoint of SIDES AD AND AE -
I need to get the values of the ratios of the sides and i cant figure out how to calculate the values of sides AC and CE and AE - that should be updated automatically...
Can Any one help me with this - thanks

Hi again - The post before this is got the code for the problem at hand but the requirements have changed slightly -
So far I have managed to draw a 2Triangles on screen -
both are controlled by the JSlider
I need to have my triangles fixed in a certain position on screen -
I just need the one triangle and I need the Jslider controlling the line passing through the triangle which is parallelt o its base.
i.e. before i had two triangles witht he base of the smaller one acting as the parallel line through the midpoints...
now i need a line passing through the triangle not necessarily thorugh its midpoints but it should be parallel to its base..
and the Jslider should control this line such that as it increments the line moves down and decrements it moves up
and then the ratios can be calculated to show that AB:BD = AC:CE no matter where BC is the parallel line where the parallel line is within the triangles sides
secondly.. the user should be able to Drag any side of the triangle by its vertex and manipulate its lengths i.e . increase or decrease the size of the triangle using is vertex
can any one help me with his
Thanks...

I food a small bug in the finder OS X 10.9.2

In the finder window, with the list view, on some circumstances, the small triangle on the left to open or close a directory does not work.
I think I know hows to make the bug appear. How do I report to apple ?

Can anyone explain this behavior and tell me how to fix it?

Using NetBeans 6.5 on Windows, Glassfish v2.1
I have a JSF application with a page that has a tab set.
On one of the tabs I have a panel with company information.
One of the components on the page is an InputText field with the value bound to a session bean variable.
The tab also has an Add button.
Here is what the JSP looks like for the input text and button components
   <h:inputText binding="#{MainPage.companyNameTF}" id="companyNameTF" readonly="#{SessionBean1.readOnlyFlag}"
   <h:commandButton action="#{MainPage.mainAddBtn_action}" disabled="#{SessionBean1.disableEdit}" id="mainAddBtn"
        style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; left: 425px; top: 380px; position: absolute; width: 75px" value="Add"/>
     This is all plain vanilla stuff and I would expect that when the Add button is pushed, the session bean property would be filled with
the value entered in the input text field.
In the java code for the page, I have a method to process the Add button push.
Originally, it just called a method in the session bean to check that a value was entered in the input text field by checking the bound
session bean property.
For some reason, that was not getting filled and I was getting either a null or empty string rather than the value in the text field.
I added some checking in the method that processes the Add button push so I could check the values in the debugger.
Here is a sample of that code:
    public String mainAddBtn_action() {
        String s = sb1.getCompanyName();
        s = (String)this.companyNameTF.getValue();
        s = (String)this.companyNameTF.getSubmittedValue();I check this in the debugger and NONE of the variants that I have listed have the value that was entered into the text field.
The submittedValue is null and the others are empty strings (that is what they were initalized to).
This is all pertty straight forward stuff and I am at a loss to explain what is happening.
Can anyone expain this behavior, and, most important, how can I force the values to be present when the Add button is pushed.
I have never experienced this problem before, and have no clue what is causing it.
Thanks.

Basically, the component bindings are just being used in plain vanilla get/set modes.
I set them to "" when I do a clear for the fields and they are set to a value via the text field.
No other action other than to read the values via get to insert them into the database.
And, I always use the get/set methods rather than just setting the value directly.
This is what is so strange about this behavior - I have created dozens of database add/update/delete pages using this same model and have not had a problem with them - even in a tab context.
Not a clue why this one is different.
I did notice that I had an error on the page (in IE7, you get a small triangle warning sign when something is not right).
I figured that might be the problem - maybe buggering up the rendering process.
I tracked that down and do not get that anymore (it had to do with the PDF display I was trying to get working a while back), but that did not resolve the problem.
I don't think there are any tab conflicts - none of the components are shared between tabs, but I will see what happens when I move a couple of the components out of the tab context.
I noticed that it seems to skip a cycle. Here is what I can do.
1) Fill in text fields and add a record - works fine the first time.
2) Clear the text fields
3) Enter new data in the text fields and push Add
4) I get an error saying fields are blank from my data check process.
5) Enter new data and push Add - the record is added with the new data.
My work around is to not enter data in step 3 and just accept the error message in step 4, then go ahead and enter the real data in step 5.
Very ugly, but it works every time.

How do I use an external microphone with iPhone Facetime?

Model of iphone doesn't matter to me. I have an Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 to use. I am specifically trying to use a wireless microphone set with Facetime so I can get better audio quality at a distance. Of course, I have a mount for my phone so it's pointed toward me. Can anyone figure out how I can bypass the internal microphones and use and external? I have already tried plugging into the jack on the phone, but no luck.
If there is some sort of adapter to plug into the Lightning port or 30pin that might bypass the external mics when using Facetime then I can go with that too.
Any help is appreciated!

Hello lizarose,
You might consider recording your video in the QuickTime Player application. The QuickTime Player application will allow you to control input sources for both your video and audio (allowing you to choose the Fast Track for audio and the iSight camera for video).
Once in QuickTime Player, choose 'New Movie Recording' from the File menu. In the resulting window, on the controls bar (near the record button), there will be a small triangle. This triangle will produce a menu allowing you to choose your Fast Track as the desired microphone.
Once the video is recorded and satisfactory, from the File menu, you can choose 'Export To,' then 'iMovie...' After the export process completes, open iMovie (close and re-open if necessary), and you should be prompted to import the video into iMovie. If, for some reason, iMovie is not an option, the video can be exported to the Desktop or the Movies folder (if exporting, choose 'Movie' for Format), then imported into iMovie via the File menu, 'Import,' 'Movies...'

How do I use an external microphone?

I have been trying to use the M Audio Fast Track microphone that plugs in through a USB. It works fantastic on Garage band, but I can't figure out how to use it on iMovie. I already switched my sound system preferences to Fast Track, but it still won't work. I can't do a voice over since my face is on the screen 9/10 of the time.
Help!

Working on existing document; two forms of page numbers (starts as i,ii,iii and moves to 2,3,4)

I inherited a facing-pages document with two master pages. They are supposed to have page numbers in them (1,2,3,4 etc) but the first few pages of the document are i,ii,iii etc. and I can't figure out how to change them. Can anyone help?

That's pretty standard formatting for a document divided into sections withthe first section containing front matter and the "real" page 1 appearing further into the file. What's the first page number after the i, ii,iii ... series?
Number style is changed by slecting the first page of a section (it will have a small triangle above it) in the Pages panel and going to the Numbering And Section Options where you will find a drop-down for number style. It's a bad idea to have multiple pages with the same logical page number using the same number style, and ID will complain.

How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen?

How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen? My HP Office Jet Pro L7680 printer tends to print my images with a bias towards red compared to the image I am seeing on screen with Lightroom 5 using a Mac with Retina 5 screen. Would appreciate any expertise on how to calibrate the printer to the screen

You have two options. The first method costs nothing but is not as accurate and the second means buying hardware and investing some time. The fastest way to get things closer is to download the color profile from the printer manufactures site for the printer and paper combination you are using. Install it on you Mac and relaunch LR. This is best when the paper and printer are both from the same company; in your case, HP. If the paper is not made by HP, you can often find profiles for your paper/printer by going to the paper maker's web site and doing a search for the appropriate profile.
The other alternative is to purchase a piece of hardware such as the ColorMonki which can be used to not only profile your monitor for color balance but also you printer/paper as well as your camera. When all of your devices agree on what color 118,118,118 means, you get the same color from capture to print but this is also an expensive option and there is a lot of time involved in building your own color profiles. The results however, are much more accurate.
Once you have a color profile installed, the next step involves doing soft proofing. Once you have your image looking the way you want it to in LR, open it in the soft proof option. This will show you how your print will look using the color profile for the paper/printer you are using. During the process, you will be shown the print on your screen which may look off. Use the small triangle in the upper-right corner of the histogram to turn on the out-of-gamut warning. This will highlight any parts of your image which contain colors your printer can't handle. Use the rendering intent options to decide how you want these colors handled (relative or perceptual). Check them both and use the one you like best. You can also make additional changes at this point if required before you generate the JPG image. Make sure to save it as a max quality JPG using the sRGP profile. Once saved, you can send this image to your printer or even to a lab as the process is the same.The attached link should get you to a video showing how to use the ColorMunki hardware/software but, more importantly, shows you how to prepare an image for printing (in this case, for a lab) using soft proofing with the color profile created (or downloaded).--Great Color from Your Lab Prints – Every Time! on Vimeo

When I connect itouch to the pc i can't click on any of the music stored?

Hey i just bought an itouch 2nd generation and have just finished transferring all my songs in my itunes library onto it. I did this by selecting them all and dragging them. A couple of songs did not transfer as I had moved them to a diff folder. On my itunes library I located them succesfully and then tried dragging the couple of songs individually onto the ipod - no dice.
I clicked on my ipod music and the entirety is all in grey text and can't be clicked. I can't right click, select any song, or sort them by artist, genre, song, etc. It is as though the ipod library is frozen - yet i can still scroll. This is the same for the movies. (and i've only uploaded movies and music). As far as I can tell, itunes is not doing anything - such as syncing or updating album artwork - so I can't figure out what's wrong.
When i unplug the ipod, i can locate the music on the machine - it's just when i plug into the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Unlike older generation iPods, you can't drag things onto a touch. The only way you can see what has been loaded is a rather broad summary presented at the bottom of your iTunes Summary page.
Not true -- if you manually manage the Touch you can drag and drop to it. You can also see exactly what's on the Touch, not just a "summary". As a device in the source column in iTunes, expand the Touch's contents by clicking the small triangle to the left of the Touch's name. You'll then be able to browse the various folders on the Touch (i.e. Music, Video, etc.) Even if you auto-sync, you can expand the Touch's contents to see what's on it (though you can't edit it).
By the sounds of it, the OP has the Touch in auto-sync mode, which won't let you drag and drop nor edit individual items on the Touch. Maybe it started in manual mode, but was changed to auto-sync mode.

How do I post a crash report

Hi, I was trying over the last 10 hours to post a crash report to find out what keep crashing my Safari Browser. So how do I post a crash report on this forum. I have tried 5 times and this is what happens.
( We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable. We'll be back soon.
Until then, please visit http://www.apple.com/support)
I must be doing something wrong. Thanks for any info.

Yes, BUT there is an even easier way!
Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
Scroll down to the latest and greatest Safari report and click on it.
Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
Come back here and Command-v it!

10.7.2 Lion freezing / apps lock up, must hard reset 2-3 times daily

I've seen several posts on this -- oddly, some of them are archived even though there has been no resolution...
Would love to hear people's experiences and especially if you have a fix. Would REALLY love it if Apple would get off their duff and give us a working O/S.
Ever since upgrading to Leopard I've been having problems with system stability and, specifically, with lockups. Usually this starts out with a few applications get "hung" (beach ball). Again, usually, I can force quit them, restart and continue for at least a little while... but, it always marks the beginning of a downward spiral. The final straw seems to be when Finder locks up. Once Finder locks, the system becomes unresponsive overall and I can't shut down without doing a hard reset (either cmd-opt-power or, more often, just hold power until a get a hard reboot).
Some of the behaviors I'm seeing:
Apps start to lockup. Best option at this point is to quickly shut everything down and restart. On occasion I get a software restart if I'm prompt about it.
Finder locks up... forget it. Hardware restart is in my future... will generally try to save work, but it seems that anything involving disk / file system access is completely frozen.
About one out of two times, the login screen is very slow to appear (about a 2 minute boot), and then it fails to respond to my wireless keyboard &/or mouse. Sometimes the mouse works, keyboard doesn't. If I wait for 1-2 minutes, it will usually "wake up" and suddenly gets all of the input in one blast... but usually I lose patience, open up the laptop, do another hard reset.
Sometimes the screen saver won't release control of the machine (much like login screen). I can move the mouse, tap keys, etc., screen saver just keeps right on running blithely along...
On rare occasion, even the force quit panel (cmd-opt-escape) refuses to appear.
Of late, I've taken to launching Terminal on login so that it's available (because after the lockups start, I won't be able to launch it). Then, I can issue a "shutdown -r now" which, most of the time, seems to work pretty well. I hate doing a hard reset, always worried it will lead to a damaged file structure or lost work.
I've tried a number of fixed, including (at the height of it) reinstalling 10.7.2, which I did a few days ago. It made no difference at all... Also tried resetting NVRAM, etc. About the only folklore I haven't tried yet is switching to Chrome or Firefox. A lot of people are blaming Safari for all of this, so perhaps I'll try that next...
I'm suspecting that Time Machine is making the situation worse, but turning it off (and disconnecting the drive) does NOT solve the problem. It seems to go a little longer in-between system lockups. Same symptoms... apps become unresponsive, one after the other starts to beach ball, eventually the whole system locks up... I'm wondering if it has something to do with disk access, as posted in other threads. I've been trying to minimize disk access wherever possible, for one, just plugging in my Time Machine drive about once a day, let it backup, then unplug. Not really sure if it's helping or not though.
Currently, I'm running into this on average 3 times daily (worst day was 6 times, best day was just once, yay...) Yes I've been keeping track. By my count I'm also losing up to two hours a day, because the shutdown / reboot process is so baby-sitting intensive (and I have to do it several times a day).
Very, very frustrating. This is definitely the worst O/S release Apple has ever put out there. I'd like to go back to Leopard, but worried about the downgrade... arrrgggh. (Wish Mr. Jobs was still around, somehow I think he would never have tolerated this...)

Hm... what are the specific issues?
I launch iPhoto, use it a few times, and it hangs, requiring a restart of the iMac;
iPhoto complains that I am not connected to the Internet (when trying to display GPS data) when I am fully connected
Magic Mouse's connection drops about every 15 to 40 minutes of typing, often in this Discussion. Apple Care suggested that keeping my battery charge above 50% would solve it. It didn’t.(My batteries are Apple’s, as is the charger.);
When I return my hand to the Magic Mouse, the active window often suddenly scrolls up which looses the position of the pointer. This can cause problems in graphical apps like InDesign;
Mail's boxes display a small triangle every few days and will not send or receive, requiring Mail to be re-launched;
In Mail I cannot get pictures of people to appear in messages sent by them.
In Mail, stationery does not work properly. Neither of these two is an earth-shattering fault, but having been offered them I wasted a lot of time trying to get them to work.)
Time Machine three times over the last 1 1/2 years (OS 10.5 once and Lion twice) has complained that its HD is full when it is only ~1/2 full. A full reset on the last two did not cure it (I had not discovered Pondini's Full Reset until Lion). Pondini's symptom's and solutions did not match the error. Each time I had to erase and start again;
A couple of months ago, as a test, (after confirming my daily bootable backup of my system done by Carbon CopyCloner), I re-installed Lion from the InstallED.dmg, accepted the invitation to restore from TM, and upgraded to 7.2. All looked well except Mail displayed only the Header and first two lines of the body of messages, all the rest of the bodies were blank. Another major thing did not work after this re-installation (I can't remember the details now);
Carbon Copy Cloner can fail to find its Firewire backup HD about every 10th time (I have a daily schedule). The connections to the drive are plugged in OK but the drive is no longer mounted, whether the iMac has been restarted or woken up. CCC has been absolutely rock solid for years until Lion;
My Canon scanner (current driver, and it always worked before Lion), more times than not complains that it cannot start because it is in use elsewhere. I have to unplug its USB and re-connect.
In SystemPrefs > iCloud, a dialogue box said that Sys. Prefs. wants to use confidential info in my keychain. I press “Deny” and the box returns for ever until I force quit Sys. Prefs.
Software Update repeatedly tells me that a certain update is available but I already have installed it.
For those silly enough to install a new OS within a year of its introduction (not me: my iMac came with the wretched thing in it), some bugs can be expected, but not this many (at least in my opinion). All previous updates going back to 1997 have gone much more smoothly than Lion on my machines.
Although I am in a minority (given the huge number of sales of Lion – although MacWorld reports that sales of Lion are faltering), I am sorry to say that I have fallen out of love with Apple. I would gladly trade the elegance and the fancy features for a bit of “Works out of the box”, “It just works”, “Computing for the rest of us”.

Magic Mouse and Windows 7: Discovered but will not Connect.

Windows 7 (W7) can "Discover" the Magic Mouse (MM) but doesn't seem to be able to connect. Here is asolution.
1. Turn Off your MM.
2. Restart W7
3. Connect a "Wired" USB mouse. (My Track Pad would not Right Click.)
4. Open "Hidden Icons". (In the Right lower corner of your dispaly, in the "Tray" is a small "Triangle" icon. Mouse over this and you will see that this is the "Show Hidden Icons" icon. Click on it.)
5. You should now see a Bluetooth icon. This is the "Bluetooth Devices" icon. Click on it.
6. A Pop Up Menu appears. Click on "Add a device."
7. Turn on your MM.
8. Your MM should appear in the "Select a device to add to this computer." window.
9. It will probably just say "Mouse" or "Bluetooth Mouse" If you have used your MM before on your Mac, it may display your Mac's "Short User Name". This means that W7 has "Discovered" your MM.
10. Right Click on your displayed device.
11. Click on "Add device..."
12. Click on "Properties"
13. Select/Click on the "Services" tab.
14. Tick the "Box" for "Driver for mice, keyboard, etc. (HID)"
15. Click "OK" and exit.
Your MM should now work! Sort of!! Left & Right Click works and Up and Down scrolling works. Right & Left scroll does not.
Also, you will note that your MM becomes "Inactive" after a few seconds of disuse. Just give it a single Left click to get it going again. I've posted a solution to this problem in another post.

Thanks! That fixed my issues with my Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard in Win7.

How to use amount control for multiple sliders in the basic adjustments window

In a webinar an instructor (Chris Orwig) demonstrated how to make multiple adjustments in the basic panel in the develop module. He then showed how to close the basic module by clicking on the small triangle at the top of the module. When this was done a single control bar and slider appeared in place of the closed basic module. Moving this slider allowed the instructor to adjust all previously set basic module settings at the one time. I tried to do this. But when I close the basic module no control bar and slider appear. Any suggestions why this is the case?
I use Lightroom 5.4 and OS 10.9.2.

He evidently wasn't in the Basic panel, but in the Adjustment Brush:
Clicking on the triangle at the end of the red arrow yields this:
And there is your Effect slider.

Small Triangle?
