Strange highlighting behavior with Library books and reinstall?

I have a Nook Color and Windows 7. B&N has exchanged my Color Nook twice ....but .............I am beginning to think that the problem is with ADE or something else.
When I am reading a Library book, about 10 to 15 minutes into the book, I will get some word/words highlighted in the "lookup" form...and then the menu appears. I can't actually look up a word...the Nook just freezes. I put the Color Nook to "sleep", turn it back on, and all is well for about another 10 minutes.
This is happenning with multiple libraries in different states. So......either it is a glitch in my installation of ADE or it is a problem that the libraries are having.
I was wondering if anybody else has had this issue. I don't get any error messages when I download a book.
I am thinking that I need to reinstall ADE...but am not sure if I will end up getting myself into more trouble. I also have ADE on my Netbook (rarely use it). I am concerned that I will use up all my "devices" trying to uninstall and reinstall.........and don't know if that will fix the issue.
Also, WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FORGET YOUR PASSWORD? Is there a recovery function at ADE?
Thanks for the help

Hi! It sounds like you have set up your Nook and ADE so that they work
together and with library software. And if you can read other ebooks that
aren't from a library on your Nook, then it's probably not a setup issue.
So, I am thinking that the issues you're having deal with something in the
ebooks themselves.
ADE just copies the text from the source location to its library. ADE does
not edit or change the text in any way. Library book software can do certain
things with the 'tag' file that contains publishing rights. Chief among
them is to set a time and date for expiration of the loan. If your computer
or Nook clock does not display the same time and date, it's possible that
the information from the library is getting screwed up so that the Nook
shuts down the ebook. So, the first thing I'd suggest is to check the time
and date settings in both places. It would be interesting also to try and
read the ebook on your computer via ADE and see if the same problem occurs.
You could contact the library help desk and get information on what software
they're using - that might point to an issue in it if it's the same software
at multiple libraries from which you've downloaded ebooks.
Hope this helps!

Strange telnet behavior with MDS switch and OSX

I am running OSX 10.6, and noticed the following with SAN-OS 3.3. It like automatically sends the logname with the telnet request (I think), so it prompts you for password, then you just hit return and can get a login prompt and login. The reason I say it sends the LOGNAME is because if I look at ACS its showing that's what is being sent. Could be an OSX thing but I just found it wierd. Incidently I can login to some Cisco routers from my OSX box and i don't have this happen, so something between OSX and MDS.

I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Strange Permissions Behavior with Public/Private Drop Box

Strange Permissions Behavior with Non-Course Drop Box
In an effort to promote iTunes U on campus this semester (and to get people working with audio and video more) we're having a contest in which people can submit personal or group audio/video projects.
This being an iTunes promo, we intend for students to submit their contributions via a drop box.
To that end, I began experimenting with drop boxes in iTunes U, which I haven't done much of previously. I've created a course called "iTunes U Drop Box Test" under "Campus Events". Within that, I have two tabs: "Featured Submissions" and "Dropbox". My goal with this drop box was to allow faculty, students and college folks the ability to use the drop box ("college" being a role I've defined for those who don't fit into the faculty/student roles).
When I first started experimenting, access to the "iTunes U Drop Box Test" course looked like this:
--- Credentials (System) ---
Edit: Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: Unauthenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
--- Credentials ----
Download: College@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Instructor@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Instructor@urn:mace:lafayette.edu:classes:${IDENTIFIER}
Download: Student@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Student@urn:mace:lafayette.edu:classes:${IDENTIFIER}
For the "Featured" Submissions tab, I gave the non-system credentials the "download" right, and for the "Dropbox" tab I gave the non-system credentials the "dropbox" right.
My understanding of this setup is that everyone should have had the ability to view the course and the contents of the "Featured Submissions" tab and that those in the College/Instructor/Student roles would be able to upload files via the "Dropbox" tab ... but not see the contents of said tab after the files were uploaded (aside from any files they uploaded themselves).
This is not the behavior we saw however. While the College/Instructor/Student roles could upload files to the dropbox, everyone (including the unauthenticated public) was able to see all of the contents of the dropbox.
The only way I could get this to work as advertised was to change all of the system credentials save the "Administrator" to "No Access":
--- Credentials (System) ---
Edit: Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: Unauthenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Once I did this, everything worked as advertised: College/Instructor/Student roles could upload tracks, and the "Dropbox" tab would only display tracks they uploaded.
So my question is ... is this the correct behavior for the drop box? It looks like when the system credentials are in play, they're simply overriding whatever the normal "view" rule is for the drop box, which doesn't seem right.

Your current configuration where things work as you wanted does seem correct to me. You are not using any System Credentials to accomplish the functionality and that's fine.
Here's some more info to clarify how / why this is working for you and why you had to set "No Access" for the System Credentials:
The System Credential "Authenticated@..." is going to get assigned to any user that goes through your transfer script. Even if you transfer script assigns no credentials to a user, upon entering iTunes U they will have at least 1 - the "Authenticated@..." credential. Therefore, unless you block access using "No Access", any user that passes through your transfer script is going to be able to access the area in question.
When you change values for "Unauthenticated@..." or "All@..." you are defining what someone that DOES NOT pass through your transfer script can do. You want both of those to be "No Access" at the top level of your site if you do not want unauthenticated visitors.
The distinction between "Unauthenticated" and "All" is that "All" applies to all users whether they pass through the transfer script or not.
Here's another way to remember things:
User passes through your transfer script, iTunes U automatically assigns:
Authenticated@....
All@....
User does not pass through your transfer script and instead access your iTunes U site through derivable URL*, they get assigned:
Unauthenticated@....
All@....
*The derivable URL for a site is: http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/site-domain-name

Problem with Address Book and Exchange

Hello,
I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard. Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

Why is it, after I downloaded the new version of steve jobs, I lost all my highlighted placements in the book and whenever I tried to highlight something, it lags tremendously. Is there a reason for this?

And all placement in which I highlighted in previous version of the book, it directs me to a completely different page and sentence in which I highlighted previously. And the frustrating is, I can't delete the false highlight.

Running on Lion, never had a problem before until the old airport died and I replaced it.

try connecting the device in _*recovery mode*_, then restore from your backup.

Strange behavior with Quick Cluster and one shared machine

Hi, I've been struggling for a while with my compressor 4.0.7 distributed processing setup... Here is my configuration:
1 Mac Mini running as a Quick Cluster with services (3 instances of compressor shared)
1 Macbook Pro running Services Only (7 instances of compressor shared)
1 Macbook Pro (much older) running Services Only (2 instances of compressor shared)
All 3 systems are running Mavericks, but I had this same problem when all 3 were Mountain Lion.. Had to trash the app and all of the prefs in Library\Application Support\Apple Qmaster and Compressor and reinstall to get the app running on all of the upgraded machines, so a fresh start didn't fix this issue.
The Mac Mini and the older Macbook Pro can see the cluster, submit jobs and are both utilized for rendering when jobs are submitted from the Mini or the older Macbook Pro
The newer MBP can see the cluster in Share Monitor and in qadministrator, but cannot see any of the jobs in the history (the other Macbook Pro can see all details identically to the Mac Mini). When a job gets submitted from this system it appears as "Not Available" on the Mac Mini share monitor and it only utilizes 1 local process to do the rendering, which stalls out after about 1 minute. Activity Monitor shows all 7 instances of compressord are running and not frozen but have no activity.
Jobs submitted from the Mini and older MBP attempt to use the newer MBP for distributed rendering but stall out after about 30 seconds with a host error. The shared volume never appears on the newer MBP. Qadministrator on the Mini can see the newer MBP and all of the listed services as available.
Now here is the part that really blows my mind:
After submitting a job to the cluster from the newer MBP, which will stall out and need to be cancelled as mentioned above; submitting a job from the mini will actually successfully use the services on the newer MBP. Share monitor on the newer MBP still does not display any jobs on the server cluster. Rebooting the newer MBP puts me right back in the "I won't play with those other macs" tantrum.
Anyone else see this issue and have a fix for it? Workarounds are nice but this is very, very annoying when I get into crunch time.

Do you have log files?

Strange window behavior with CS5

I have begun experiencing strange behavior with PS CS5. I should begun with the machine configuration: 2.66GHz iMac (8,1) Intel Core Duo with 4GB RAM and OSX 10.6.6, Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card. The initial symptom showed up suddenly as an inability to display an image window; that is, I could open PS normally, everything would show up properly, but when I opened an image file of any sort, there would be no image window. Other cues indicated that the file was open; for example, the window menu would show it selected, and the layers palette would show the file's layers.
It did not seem to matter what type of file was involved: PSD, JPG, TIF, whatever. Occasionally, this behavior would begin during a session. Sometimes it would happen right off the bat. Sometimes, stopping and restarting PS seemed to clean things up; other times, this had no effect. After messing around quite a bit with different permutations and combinations, all I could say was that the problem was random.
I might add that I've had PS CS5 on this machine pretty much since it was announced, and had not had problems with it before. So this issue came along quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago. This was a little after I'd installed an update for Nik's Viveza 2; and I began to suspect that. Although why Viveza should do such a strange thing was odd, and Viveza was never part of the files I was experiencing issues with. Anyway, I went back to an earlier version of Viveza and the problem persisted.
Since I run Time Machine, I also went back to versions of the entire PS folder from a month back, and found the same problem. Along the way, I experimented with the files I was using with PS CS4 & CS3, which I also have installed on this machine. These two versions of PS run perfectly well. At least the CS4 version has precisely the same plugins as the CS5 folder, and this seems to discount the potential problem with plugins.
To be sure about CS5, I completely deactivated, deinstalled, and reinstalled it. The same issues occurred. Now, I have to admit that I let PS run its update process so that I brought it back to the most recent version in this step of my troubleshooting. So, I can't be certain that the issue isn't with some update of CS5.
I might add that I have been running CS5 in 32-bit mode, for compatibility with certain plugins. This may or may not be an issue, since I have limited experience with running in 64-bit mode. At this point, I should add a bit more about the confusing behavior.
While messing around with CS5, I also suspected the GPU support, since my problem had to do with windows. When the problem presents itself, the usual cycle through window views that you get by pressing the "F" key seems to get messed up. In particular, the "F" key doesn't work at all. Next, if you use the View menu to select different views, the full screen with menu bar view will often have garbled pixels, while the full screen view will show a blank grey screen. Then, cycling back to a window view will show a window with blank grey contents. This is interesting since the starting point was no window at all; but going into full screen and then back will produce a window with bogus contents.
Now, the next strange thing, having to do with the GPU, is that CS5 often fails to recognize the Radeon HD 2600 card. Oddly enough, it did originally. And I had it running in Basic mode. However, CS4 does recognize the GPU; and I can set it in any variety of modes: Basic, Normal, and Advanced. This behavior is not consistent at all either; that is, while CS5 almost always now fails to detect the GPU, sometimes it does. As near as I can tell, this failure to detect the card does not depend upon whether I start CS5 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. OTOH, CS4 always recognizes the GPU.
Another form of this odd behavior arises if I start CS5 cold, and then just open a new blank window. This almost always works. I get a blank white window, and I can paint on it with a brush, etc. However, if I go ahead at this point and open a file, then the new file takes over the window; and there are no tabs. If I select the original new file, usually labelled "Untitled", the window bar will show the change of filename but the window's contents and the layers palette will continue to show the old file that I had opened. Cycling through views can sometimes get back to the new Untitled file, but just selecting file windows never works.
Yet another aspect of this messed up window behavior is that the workspace bar, which shows the Bridge, MiniBridge and view icons on the upper left and the various workspace options and CS Live on the upper right, is present but blank. OTOH, the tool bar is always displayed correctly, as is the horizontal bar that shows the various tool options. Likewise, the palettes for the workspace such as layers, swatches, adjustments, and so on, are always correctly displayed on the left.
My next steps in trying to figure this out will be to ensure that I am running the latest of all plugins so that I can get everything running in 64-bit mode and try this again. However, the single factor that seems consistent in this whole mess is that whenever I do find this odd behavior, the performance preferences window will indicate that CS5 is not detecting the GPU. Whenever this happens, if I open up CS4 and check the same performance preference in it, the GPU is detected. I can have the two preference windows side by side on the screen in fact, CS4 sees the GPU and CS5 does not. The counter-indication is that sometimes CS5 will work properly and the preferences window still shows that the GPU has not been detected. Having said that, I can add that if I have opened up CS5, and it has found the GPU, and I have set it into, say, Basic mode, and then later found CS5 messing up, and I go back and check the performance preferences again, the GPU has always been lost. So, CS5 can mess up windows with or without the GPU detected and active; but when if it started with the GPU present, it will show up as lost after the weird behavior starts.
To add one more observation, I have had Macs and other computers with failing GPUs. This computer is showing none of the typical signs of that. Every other program seems to be working just fine, and I have a lot of these, many graphics intensive; e.g., Corel Painter 11, Parallels v6 running Windows 7, PS CS4, Lightroom v3, Aperture v3, and so on. It is just CS5 that is messing up.
I could load up this message with screen shots of all this nonsense, but I'm not sure what that would add to the strange tale, other than I'm not pulling your legs. I am, however, pulling out my own hair.
As I stated before, this began quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago, early Feb 2011. My best guess as to cause is some combination of incompatible updates between CS5, OSX, and maybe some plugin or other. I found unusual behavior with onOne's FocalPoint v2 last year after Apple updated GPU drivers in some OSX update, and cratered that program. It took onOne a month or two to fix that. I have CS5 on a laptop with the same OSX version, and on that I haven't seen these issues; but then, I haven't been using it as intensely over there. Also, that machine has different CPU and GPU models than this iMac.
So, to the community: is anybody else starting to see this odd stuff? Am I alone?

Here's the reason I say that the same plugins exist for both CS4 & CS5. Sometime last year, the internal hard drive on this computer died (as they so often do), and it was replaced under the Apple care warranty. As a consequence, I decided to rebuild the OS and applications from scratch and bring back my user files from backup. I among other things, I reinstalled all of CS4 as well as CS5 (and I had to put CS3 back too for reasons having to do with printing calibration images for Quad Tone RIP). Then, I went to reinstall the plugins that I needed. I use Nik Software, onOne, Portrait Professional and various Topaz plugins. To my recollection, most of these install in PS CS3, CS4, CS5, Aperture, and Lightroom. In short, it is not that I've copied or moved plugin folders from one application folder to another, just that the installers automatically detect the presence of the various applications and put the various plugins into each, as appropriate.
The only 32-bit plugins that I have that don't fit into this category are from Vincent Versace. He provides special versions of certain Nik plugins (Tonal Contrast, Contrast Only, etc) that function with some Acme Educational extensions for performing B&W conversion, sharpening, blah blah blah. These plugins are only 32-bit and the extensions are only CS5 compatible. I've installed these ones only into CS5; so, you've got me. OTOH, I've had these from Vincent as soon as CS5 was available; and they've worked so far without problems. Perhaps I should just edit the extensions so I could use the latest plugins direct from Nik instead of the Versace special editions...
I've checked fonts and repaired permissions. I am presently going through the rather tedious process of disabling plugins and extensions to see if anything yields consistent results. The rather random arrival of the strangeness makes ensuring that a change is really having an effect more difficult to validate, as you will appreciate.
I apologize for my long-winded original post. I add all of the detail so that anyone who'd experienced similar strange behaviors might properly pattern-match what they were seeing. On the one hand, in finding the cause of a problem, you look for what's changed; and theoretically nothing is new. On the other hand, there's always so much changing behind the scenes with automatic updates of this, that, and the other thing that it's impossible to make the claim that nothing's new.

Weird Behavior with Macbook pro and 30" screen

When trying to iSync my phone via Bluetooth my Bluetooth mouse takes on strange sluggish behavior and makes it virtually unusable. At this point I’ll flip open the lid on the Mac book and use the track pad. When I shut the lid again I lose the picture on the big screen only for it to return some seconds later when I hit the Bluetooth keyboard the picture comes back then after 5-6 seconds disappears. It’s almost like it get’s stuck in some sort of hibernation cycle mode.. The only way to solve it , so far is to open the lid and restart then close the lid before it boots up again. The exact same thing happens if I unplug the power cord. Sometimes as happened today you open the lid and nothing , you actually have to flip the battery out for a moment then reboot as above.
Providing I don’t open the lid or remove the power cord the computer and display work just fine
I’m guessing there is something I can do in the settings, but I’m not sure what it is. But as you can imagine it’s a real pain
Any pointers or ideas would be welcome and any explanation as to why the mouse goes nuts when I establish a connection between the computer and the phone( The sluggishness remains even after I’ve closed Bluetooth on the phone)
Thanks
Symon

Dang, I assume correctly that it doesn't work as advertised for you? I have a MacBook 13.3-in with a Dell 20-in display attached as extended desktop and when I pan, I eventually can only zoom in to the bottom of the screen. I can only pan horizontally.
Not as advertised at all I hope someone can fix that.
