Strange i)S 4.3 Icon // iPhone 4 Bay

Hey Guys -
Enjoying the iPhone 4 (though a few quirks with iOS 4.3 like slowdowns in touch response etc.)
Anyhow, i came across an unfamiliar icon. Does anyone know what the icon is which looks like a round button with a "blue rectangle" on it and a blue arrow just underneath it (i have the image saved, but don't seems to be able to post it here...)? Is it battery-related? (i was at 18% battery at the time)
Thanks for your help!

You're right! (though it's at the far left when bringing up the bay)
First time seeing this. Thanks!
(No idea how to get it back though )

Strange red eye editing result on iPhone 4s

I experienced a strange result while using the red eye removal function on my iPhone 4s. I clicked on the red eye removal button, clicked on my friend's eye in the photo and then it seems that an image was posted over her eye. I saved the edits then zoomed in to examine the image. I have posted the image for others to review. The image looks like 3 cartoon penguins. Can anyone explain this or experienced this?

Try a reset first. Press and hold the home and sleep button for at least 10sec until the Apple logo comes back again, ignoring the "slide to turn off" button. You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not solve the problem, set it up as new device:

Ipod Touch Icons & Iphone

Anybody else curious if the new pretty shiny dock style will make it onto the next iphone update?
Seeing the ipod touch dock icons now with the sleek reflective floor it makes the iphone icons look old.
What do you think?

It is a good possibility. Then again, only Apple knows...

Strange things appears suddenly in the iPhone 3GS

Hi
I am writing in this forum because something strange occurs with my iPhone 3GS, not always. Suddenly, when I have the iPhone locked, a strange screen appears.
http://yfrog.com/5lalnj
Anybody knows what does it means? It goes by as the same quickness than it appears.

This is known as "flash" or "class 0" sms ot text. The message appears directly on the screen and isn't saved in the sms message log. It is utilized by some network administrators and sometimes by others if they know the right codes. Not all cell networks support them and iPhones sometimes don't handle them properly.

Strange display problems: lines, missing icons, pieces of windows that stay on screen...

My white 24" iMac has recently started having problems with the display. Because I'm able to capture it with Grab and due to the nature of the problem, it doens't appear to be hardware related. But, not sure. See the screen cap I took below as an example of one of the problems I'm seeing.
I'll try to describe a few other display anomalies I'm having:
Moving a window leaves the background that it was on intact all around the edge of the window, where the drop shadow would be.
The Dock, which is set to be hidden until my cursor moves into that area, will appear sometimes with some of the icons missing, but, the shadows for those icons are visible on the Dock. Or, there are weird lines and patterns around each icon.
While using Safari and a few other apps, I'll frequently get colored lines and patterns that suddenly appear across the screen, and then disappear when my cursor moves over that part of the screen.
When I click on the minimize button, the window uses the Genie effect to move into the Dock, but, often leaves a bit of the window on the screen. It will sometimes clear when I drag another window over the area, or the window I'm dragging will start looking like it does in the screen cap below.
My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I updated the firmware to ROM Revision 3467, but, it didn't seem to make any difference. The only think I can recall doing before this problem happened is I installed the iTunes 10.4.1 update. I'm running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
This iMac is about 4.5 years old, so, it's not covered by warranty anymore which means I can't take it to an Apple Store for troubleshooting. I'm hoping someone knows how I can fix this. It just started doing this a week ago. Thanks!

Hi Michelefree,
My iMac does not have a separate video card, so, I was not able to replace it as suggested above. Apparently with the Intel iMacs, or at least the one I have, the video "card" is actually a few chips on the logic board. I was told the only way to fix this is to replace the entire logic board, which is too costly (no longer within warranty).
I did a bit of research and discovered that the problem seems to be related to how hot the computer gets. I noticed this, too. When I started using my iMac first thing in the day, no problems. As the day progressed and the computer heated up, I'd start having all these video problems.
I found a utility called smcFanControl which allows you to speed up the mininim fan speeds inside the computer, which helps keep it cooler. Since I installed this, I've had very few video problems. So, it appears to have "solved" my problem for now.
I wish there was a better solution than this band-aid fix, but, it's a lot cheaper than having the logic board replaced or buying a new iMac, the only choices I was given by Apple. Hope it works for you, too!

Strange Issues with Apple TV & Apple iPhone when using iPhoto?

Im not sure if this is the right forum but since iPhoto seems to be the only missing link to my problem - I hope someone can help me out.
First let me explain my situation in great detail so I dont steer anyone in the wrong direction.
Of course everything works perfect if you only use the internal Hard Drive in my iMac. In other words, using iPhoto to create albums and slideshows worked flawless. Apple TV & Apple iPhone synced what I needed perfectly.
I then decided to get a 500G External Hard Drive to hold all my pictures and music. Everything changed!!
I followed the instructions on Apple's Support Web Documents. It appears that everything has moved over nice and smooth. I say that because when I open the Macintosh HD (OEM Internal) there are no movies or photos to be found on that drive any more.
It also appears that iPhoto has no issues itself. In other words, it finds all my photos (on the external 500G drive) displays them perfectly. I can create albums and slide shows as well.
The problem comes from Apple TV and Apple iPhone NOT seeing any more photos or slide shows. I figured that I must have to "point" Apple TV & iPhone (which in reality is iTunes) to a "new" location since its all been moved from the OEM Internal HD.
Now in iTunes, in the "photos" tab, I choose a new folder (instead of iPhoto) and browse the the External 500G HD, select the "iPhoto Library" folder and then iTunes now can see all 2,281 photos!!
Problem is that I dont want to sync ALL my photos just some of the Albums I created. iTunes doesn't see ANY albums or slideshows.
Since I created those albums before I moved the library - I figured I might have to delete all the albums/slide shows and make new ones while the data is all on the External 500G HD.
No such luck. Its like any albums I now create work fine INSIDE iPhoto but Apple TV and iPhone just see ALL my photos and NOT any albums I create inside iPhoto.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?
The file structure in the iPhoto Library folder is very confusing. I have a total of 2,281 photos. 1,028 of them are in a folder called "Data" & the other 1,028 photos are in a folder called "Original". Both folders have a bunch of years inside them with my photos scattered all over the place.
I dont see my "Albums" anywhere inside these folders.
Now if I create my own folder inside the "iPhoto Library" folder - iTunes and iPhone will pick up on that folder I created!!
In essence, I have to open up iPhoto - then drag photos to my "new folder" I created in order for iTunes to see them.
Im I on the right track here? I didnt have to do any of this when I just used my Internal OEM HD.
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks for your help.
John

Do you have ignore ownership selected for the external drive like this.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Dynamically Change icon (like iCal icon) (iPhone OS 3.1)

I'd like to be able to change the icon in a tab bar to reflect the current date...rather, I'd like to have a background image, with the date as a number on top of that—basically what the iCal icon on OS X does. Is there a way to create the number on that icon, or is this not possible?

when I create the new tab, how do I know which one it's replacing?
I'm not sure you've seen the view hierarchy yet. Are you sure you set the "View Mode" switch to the Center position in the MainWindow.xib window (see the instructions for displaying the small-icon view hierarchy in my May 22 post).
If you're looking at the hierarchy (with all the nodes of the tree expanded), note each view controller owns a UITabBarItem object. This point is often misunderstood, since we see the tab bar items on the tab bar. But each tab bar item is a child of its controller, and the address of the tab bar item is stored in the 'tabBarItem' property of that controller. So when we replace the tab bar item in this line of the example:
- (void)awakeFromNib {
self.tabBarItem = tabItem;
We're setting the 'tabBarItem' property of 'self' to the address of a new tab bar item. Therefore we're changing the tab bar item for the controller which received the awakeFromNib message. If that controller is connected as the first child of the tab bar controller, we'll be changing tab bar item #1. If that controller is the second child, we'll be changing tab bar item #2, etc.
Of course if more than one view controller is an instance of the same custom class, e.g. FirstViewController is the class for both the first and third controllers, the tab bar items for both #1 and #3 will be reset when the respective controllers receive the awakeFormNib message. In that case we'd need a way to know whether 'self' was the address of the first or third controller. That could be done in several ways. For example, we could tag each controller's original tab bar item in IB. Then we might do something like the following to ensure the item replacement code only runs for the controller object which owns tab bar item #1:
- (void)awakeFromNib {
if (self.tabBarItem.tag == 1) {
// replace tab bar item
Once again, the above if-condition would only be needed if the first controller and one or more other controllers were of the same class.
Would this code be better off in the app delegate or the view controller?
The code belongs in a method of the view controller which wants its tab bar item to be replaced.
I've created the tab bar in IB (or rather, I started with a Tab Bar template), so I don't have a view controller for the tab bar itself.
Referring again to the small-icon view hierarchy in the MainWindow.xib window, note the tab bar is connected directly to the tab bar controller. The tab bar controller is the controller for the tab bar.
... In at least two of the tabs that I'm working in, I'm displaying a table view that leads to a navigational hierarchy. How would I set that up?
This time it's essential to be able to see the small-icon view hierarchy in the MainWindow.xib window. So please follow the instructions in my May 22 post in case you haven't done so already. Next, follow these steps (which assume tabs 3 and 4 will each bring up a table view under a nav bar which is controlled by a nav bar controller):
Add a new UIViewController subclass in Xcode for the tab 3 controller. Check both Options so the new class will be a subclass of UITableViewController, and a matching XIB file will be created;
Name the subclass ThirdViewController (name it whatever you want, but the class will be referred to as ThirdViewController here);
Open MainWindow.xib, make sure the XIB window is visible (Window->Document) and its View Mode switch is in the Center position, then expand the small icon tree so you can see all the view controllers under the Tab Bar Controller;
Drag a UINavigationController object into the XIB window, and drop it onto the Tab Bar Controller icon. If you only had two controllers to start with, the Nav Controller object should now be in the last (3rd) position. If you already had a third controller, drag the Nav Controller icon to place it under the second controller. The Nav Controller icon should now be in the third position;
Expand the Nav Controller subtree, and select the Root View Controller icon;
Open the Identity Inspector and set the Class of the Root View Controller to ThirdViewController;
Open the Attributes Inspector and set the Nib Name to ThirdViewController;
If you checked "With XIB for user interface" when making the ThirdViewController class in the first step, ThirdViewController.xib should already be setup correctly; i.e. File's Owner will be set the ThirdViewController class, the 'view' outlet of File's Owner will be connected to a Table View object, and the Table View's delegate and dataSource outlets will be connected to File's Owner;
Open ThirdViewController.xib, select the Table View and locate the Simulated User Interface Elements group;
Set Top Bar to Navigation Bar. This optional setting will paint a dummy nav bar in the Table View editor window and cause the size of the Table View to be adjusted to fit. The dummy nav bar is just a placeholder for the real one which will be created at runtime. You can't place controls on the dummy bar; it's just to help you see how the screen will look;
Repeat the above steps to add a nav controller at position 4, making a FourthViewController class for the root controller;
If you now have too many tab positions, you can delete each extra controller by selecting its icon and selecting Edit->Delete.
That should complete the project skeleton, and you should now be able to Build and Go. You won't see the table views though, until you set up the data source methods in the respective controller implementations.

Finder Strange behaviour: folder and file icons not showing, then they disa

Yesterday I was trying to install the postgresql package from (http://web.mac.com/dru_satori/iWeb/PostgreSQLforMac/Welcome.html). Actually I had an older version of their package, i uninstalled it, tried installing the new package, but kept receiving errors that the installation was not correct.
Now the point of this question, as I was doing the above, i started to notice that some files (either on my desktop or in a folder window) are not showing the icon. Only the label is showing! when I click on such a file, the file disappear (i mean even the label is gone).
I have completed permission repairs, disk repairs. I also noticed that this is only happening in my account, but not that of other accounts on this computer, which indicates that this is a problem in my home directory. I have also re-lunched the finder using the force quit window. I have also trashed the com.apple.finder.plist and logged out and then logged in again. I have just noticed that (pages) is asking for the serial number! I have this program installed months ago! It seems that some other files are also getting damaged!
Is there something that I am missing? Is this a bug? is there any solution, because this is very annoying and it might indicate a bigger problem that I am not aware of.
thank you for your help

I also noticed that this is only happening in my account, but not that of other accounts on this computer, which indicates that this is a problem in my home directory.
Good first troubleshooting step!
Now log back into your normal user account: (In your case I would try preferences first)
1. Navigate to ~(yourhome/library/fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
• Restart and test your applications.
• If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
( Likely suspects are Times RO & Helvetica Fractions, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
• Navigate to ~(yourhome/library/preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
• Restart and test your applications.
• If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
   • Navigate to yourhome/library.
   • Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
   • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
   • Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
• Click on "apply to all"
   • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
Note:
The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
If the issue persists navigate to yourhome/library/caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.

Strangeness with my GUI - Airport Icon

Strange viewstate for mail amount icon

Since moving my account from an older MacBook Pro to the latest model with Snow Leopard, I have noticed that the way the symbol that shows the amout of emails I have looks strange. The text is not centered in the little circle.

Select Go in the finder and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. Your Home Library folder will open in a Finder window.
Once there, open the Preferences folder and move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the trash. Restart the computer and see if the dots now appear.

It is strange. it seem my startup icon in the preference seem to crash ....

does anyone know how to fix it?
my startup icon change to some unfinish loading ... i don';t know what to call it just ... not the usual picture . i hope i can put the picture in this post.

Quit System Preferences if it is open, and choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Enter ~/Library/Caches/ as the folder's location, throw away the item named com.apple.preferencepanes.cache inside, and then restart System Preferences.

Strange disappearance of WiFi abilitiy for iPhone 3GS?

Over the last few weeks my wifi capability has seriously decreased.
I use the latest BT Home Hub and ALL other wifi devices are working.
It is clear that the problem is range-related as when I sit next to the hub, the wifi works well; however, when i get about 10< feet away the wifi becomes weaker and eventually ceases to work. At this point, NO wifi options are available (not BFon or anything).
I'm on Virgin and the problem is recurrent with different peoples' wifi but with my phone.
The message shown when out of range is ' Could not find the network "**** '***" '
I was on a really old iOS but i have since updated in order to solve the problem but the recent iOS hasn't changed anything. I have also tried resetting network settings and all that jazz.
Any help or advice to solve or identify the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
It sounds like your have already tried a few of these step, but I would still recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
