The strangest problem ever!

There is a certain website I visit (it's a password protected company website so I can't post it here) and if I connect using Virgin Media ISP, after clicking about half a dozen links Safari locks up.
If I close Safari and change broadband connections to a different ISP and do the same thing again, there is no locking up. It works fine.
Also, if I change to Chrome or Firefox on either ISP there is no problem.
The problem only exists with this one ISP and with Safari only.
It's crazy but how can that be possible?
Any things I test to locate the problem?

Hi,
Empty the Safari cache either from the menu bar or Command + Option + E
And try troubleshooting the keychain associated with that site.
Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Password on the left. Delete the keychain for the site.
Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure *User names and passwords* is selected.
Navigate to the site and see if that made a difference, if not go back to Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all cookies related to the site and the site again.

Strangest problem ever (USB controller makes G5 go crazy at startup)

OK, this is the strangest thing I've ever seen.
I got a new dual core G5 (2.0 ghz), and have been playing with it and setting it up all day.
At the end of the day I plug in my Playstation 1 dualshock controller via a Radioshack USB adapter. This worked well enough on my G4.
Upon the next shutdown and power on, the G5 fails to display video. Hard drive grinds away, then the internal fans go on hyperspeed. Nothing else. Gotta force it to turn off.
I go through a painful process of elimination and narrowed it down to the Playstation USB controller adapter. No controller plugged in, G5 boots like a champ.
What the?? How is this even possible?
The controller even works if I plug it in and use it while the G5 is turned on. But if it's plugged in at startup, the G5 goes nuts.
How utterly strange....

hi allen
did you resolve the issue?
i have the same problem on my new G5, am about to go through similar process of elimination, all devices worked fine yesterday!!! now can only boot up with keyboard and mouse attached...
any ideas why this happens anyone?

Ok, this is possibly the strangest problem I have ever had...

My ipod will not turn off. I have tried holding the play/pause button, and tried restarting it by holding play/pause and the center button, and nothing has worked. When I leave it idle it does not turn off. It still works just fine, still accepting a charge and all, so I have been able to use it, but it must stay on the charger overnight or the battery will be nearly dead by the time I wake up the next morning. Does anybody have a solution for me that does not involve restoring my ipod? The computer I have all of my music on is acting up right now so all I have is my laptop so transferring all my music will be a major pain as I have very little hdd space on this. Btw it has already been updated to the latest software before this problem arose, so an update is also not possible

It sounds like you tried to do a Reset, but you held down the wrong buttons. Try this:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.

WRT54G2 - The Strangest Problem I have ever encountered

Ok, this will take a bit of explaining but I hope someone will be able to help me out. I've set up lots of networks but never run into anything like this before. I may be including more info than necessary, if so sorry but I am not sure if it is important or not. I have a brand new WRT54G2 router. I set it up and it was working beautifully, except it wasn't quite reaching the other end of the apartment. I am cheap so I looked around craigslist for a range extender. Found a cheap, new Belkin F5D7130. The ad just said range extender. I figured it'd be a universal one and but it wasn't because you have to input the RE's Mac address into the router which linksys ones don't do. I saw a post on another board saying you could get it to work by putting the routers MAC into the REs Bridge page. Did this but the signals were getting confused so I admitted defeat and unplugged the RE.
I thought everything was cool cause my Eee was picking up the normal signal fine and I was busy surfing the internet when my roommate comes and tells me her internet is not working. I quickly check my larger comp and internets not working there either. My big comp is connecting to the network and can access the router page but not the internet.
It has an ip you'd expect 192.168.1.100 with a normal default gateway etc.
My Eee is connecting to the internet fine(it's what I am typing on now) but can't access the router and it is giving me a strange ip 72.253.190.209 with the default gateway 72.253.184.1. Both of these are getting their ip automatically.
This is odd I thought so I did the first thing everyone trys, I did a full reset of the router. I figured back to factory settings and I'll put everything back to normal. After the reset everything is still eff'd up but with the SSID back to linksys.
Eee still has the odd ip and default gateway but is working fine. My other PC is still not connecting to the internet but can access the router fine. I tried plugging the ip info from my Eee manually into my other comp and connecting but got no connection.
The router status page shows nothing for the host name or Domain name while the ip, subnet mask, and default gateway are all reading 0.0.0.0 No DNS's show and the MTU is 1500 Before anyone asks, yes they are connected to the same router, my router.
Frankly I have not a clue what is going on or how to fix it and my roomie is getting angry that I eff'd up the router and now her internet doesn't work. Any help or suggestions someone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
More weirdness right as I was about to post this, my Eee’s internet stopped working and my big comp’s started to. Upon closer inspection they have switched ip’s and all the other info. Everything in the router is still the same. God I have no idea what is going on! Please someone help a girl out
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds a lot like you have connected your modem to a numbered port of the WRT instead of the internet port. The 72.253.190.209 is a public IP address which you have got from your ISP (in Hawaii if whois information is correct). This means your computer establishes the internet connection directly through your ISP basically bypassing the WRT.
The most likely reason is you did not connect the internet port of the WRT to your modem.
It could be that you have a USB connection to the modem as well through which the computer establishes the internet connection.
If the router has some hardware trouble and it won't boot up properly it is possible to directly connect to the ISP even when wired correctly using the internet port to the modem. But if the other computer without internet still can open http://192.168.1.1/ this is probably not the case.
Some other routers pass PPPoE through the router. This way a computer which is configured to automatically establish an internet connection using PPPoE can connect to your ISP bypassing the router. As many ISPs only allow each customer to have a single internet connection at a time this would block the router from establishing another PPPoE connection. A computer connected to the LAN of the router should never try to establish an internet connection with PPPoE.
If this does not help, please open a command prompt window on the computer which has internet, enter "ipconfig /all" and post the full output of this command on that computer. Next, on the other computer open the web interface of the router, click on the Status page and post the full status information as well.

I have the STRANGEST problem with coverart on my iPod!

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my iPod video (30GB), wich I have had for 2 years. All of a sudden it's having problems displaying coverart!
It shows all coverart correctly, EXCEPT of artists with names ranging from 'Ai...' to artists starting with 'Am...'. Of each album of those artists, the coverart can only be seen on about half the songs (per album). The other songs show no coverart...very strange isn't it? Anybody know how this can be, and what can be done to solve it?
Just to make clear: I already deleted those albums/songs, and put them on my iPod again; this didn't work. Also, iTunes does show all covers correctly. Third, the function 'show covers on iPod' is turned on. Never had any coverart problems before; most of the missing covers have never been removed or altered since I added them to my iPod (some a long time ago!)
Hope you can help me! Thanks already!

Why can't you download it? Are you getting an error message? The download doesn't start? What exactly is happening.
You should be able to tap the purchased tab in the iBooks store, find the book, tap the cloud icon next to the book and download it again. You must use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Bible.

The Strangest Story Ever Told.

it's not, sorry--although if i told it in its entirety it might be one of the most unbelievably corrupt, at least in the 21st century, postmodern world of the west. i wont, dont worry. i just have a question.
id est {as they say}:
how does one tell if one's machine has been hacked/elsewise compromised?
is it possible for someone to do this easily? remotely?
against my better desire for a perfect world, my machine is password protected. we do have a router; it is also password protected & insulated by its own personal firewalls. i am pretty decent, if not ever perfect, at setting up my machine, its preferences, etc & ect. i should be--i've been using one for fourteen years. over the past few months i have been noticing what i consider quite peculiar peculiarities--after restart i see that, while they are still where i left them, all my desktop files have also been copied into another folder, usually called jnmhipza.default ([or a variation thereof]), although sometimes [p'[]] will do ([or a variation thereof]). files i have either never seen or knowingly created also arise ([ie copies of bookmarks, etc & ect]).
a few days ago i was also, strangely, unable to install my new printer ([this is a first]), even after using at least four different usb cables & firewire cables &..... all of a sudden i was also unable to write cds. may i note that this was before i was due to appear in court, documents in hand, against someone who was the filthiest of tricksters i have ever encountered? they want condos. i have an apartment. they got their condo out of me, at least.
last note: thinking i might entertain them w/ a little bit of merzbow, i pumped up the volume just a wee wee little bit. really, now, anyone should like merzbow--i was tired & went to lie down. all of a sudden i heard what i thought was either a shot or a can of coca cola exploding in my freezer ([this was not on the cd]). i came back to my imac--the volume was down by three quarters.
ideas?
[have a happy]
& thanx.

thank you everso for yr reply.
i agree. it may have been compromised. i am unsure, myself & if so, if that compromise was done by breaking in etherly or via the more traditional front door.
i thoroughly agree about the wired router & will buy one tomorrow. i have been running a belkin wireless (largely b/c years ago i was a designer for belkin & was fond of the vice president) but this will immediately change. i will take better precautions as far as protecting my user ([me]). i deeply appreciate yr helpful suggestions & they shall be put into use. you have done yr Good Deed of the Day, if you like.
i keep no financial info on my computer. one of the reasons i have been less circumspect than many about all of this is that i found the whole thing funny--they can have copies of my ([public]) koehnline animated gifs & photos of the various Hair Bands that once employed my significant other. they can have copies of the images i downloaded from NASA's Astronomy Photo of the Day. they can have copies of [pass the dust, i think i'm bowie] by [the metrosquad] led by the long dead [black randy]. long ago i gave up on limewire & began to use e-music or rhapsody--i do not even download software. were it not for the tenant/landlord 'dispute' in which one side employed tactics i thought went out w/ Fred Hampton {[or richard nixon]}, i wouldnt care if the entire world hacked my computer. its contents are about as worrisome as the avatar i chose to represent me. now, though.....
now though, when we leave ([ASAP]), i will run yr Little Snitch to see what, if anything, happened. this was a spooking experience. i can prove nothing, but i am curious. i have learned more about this postpostmodern world than ever i wanted to know. for that i am sorrowed; though, redux, for yr kind assistance i am grateful.
my best to you--

Strangest Problem Ever

hey, about a month ago i posted that i could not start up my ibook g4 anymore, froze at loading screen.
i gave the computer to my father to look at and he has made a discovery, the ibook only starts when it is quite cold?
any ideas why this is, how it is fixed etc?
cheers, jonny

Does putting pressure on the area just below the left command/alt keys (that is clamp it solidild with your thumb and fingers around the base of the unit) result in booting?
If so you might be adding yourself to the list of those with the failed BGA on the logic board problem.
Otherwise temperature will have a big effect on any breaks anywhere in the laptop due to the differnt materials expanding and contracting pushing cracks in the boards or wiring closed or apart.

The biggest problem ever

I've a blackberry curve 9300 v 5.0.0.977 for almost one year. However, three days ago the battery was full, after I removed the charger, an immediate system message was shown which said battery is down and the device was shut. Furthermore, my bb now doesn't work unless it's connected to the charger.
I'm wondering if it's a system or battery problem. I wish you'll be able to solve it

Hi Marwan_Al-Rimi,
Are you able to test with another battery? If so, I would advise doing this first to rule out any issue with the battery itself.
If a different battery does not resolve the issue, you may want to try reloading your BlackBerry® Device Software to rule out any software issue that may be causing this.
Please try backing up your data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and reloading your BlackBerry® Device Software. For further instructions, see the following KB article. How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows. www.blackberry.com/btsc/kb11320
Hope this helps.

Strangest problem with psd's all of a sudden. Any insight?

Hello everyone! Hope all are well this Saturday evening.
I've encountered the strangest problem that has seem to come out of nowhere.
DVDStudio pro has all of a sudden decided that psd's are incompatible format.
Here is the strangest part, it's doing this on 2 desktops and a laptop all with dvd studio pro.
Not only won't it let me import the new master menu psd file we've created to replace the one that was in there previously, but it won't let me import almost any psd file previously used. Even if I just create a blank psd file from scratch.
Has anyone ever encountered this?
The psd's are in RGB btw and the message it says exactly is
"IMPORT ASSETS
INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT"
I tried saving as a tiff as well and same thing.
I can't think of anything that would make this happen to 3 computers!

I turned the phone off and back on. I hooked up to my computer. I can access the store but when I try to upgrade I get a messge that the phone cannot access the store. I got one of the two apps I was trying to upgrade by frist going to Purchases (in the App Update section) but the other sitll did not work and I got the same message that store cannot be accessed.

Minidv - the strangest thing I've ever seen

I started a thread last week asking if minidv was dead. I asked this because it appeared that my Panasonic minidv camera was broken and I wondered if I should make the move to a different format. Bottom line: There was no need to leave minidv at this point in time . . .just get another minidv camera and I'd be fine for the foreseeable future.
As a continuation of that discussion, I have encountered the strangest thing I've ever seen and I'm wondering if anybody can provide insight. I'll try to make a complicated story as concise as possible.
The reason I thought my Panasonic camera was in need of repairs was because large blue streak suddenly appeared across the screen when I played back or recorded video. This was not a problem with the tape, because I checked a few different tapes. In addition, these blue streaks showed up on previously recorded footage that looked perfectly fine when I dumped it to FCP a while ago.
So I bought a used Canon on eBay as a replacement. When I inserted a couple of tapes into the Canon, I saw gray streaks in the same manner I had seen blue streaks on the Panasonic. As far as I could tell, this meant one of two things: 1) there WAS a problem with the footage on the tapes, or, 2) both cameras were malfunctioning in a similar matter.
After an hour of going back and forth trying to isolate the problem, I decided to record some new footage on the Canon. When I did this, there were no gray streaks on playback of the new footage. Out of curiosity, I went back and looked at the previous footage that appeared to have gray streaks, and now the gray streaks were gone.
Wondering if some kind of miracle had happened, I took the tape out of the Canon and inserted it into the Panasonic. Still the same blue streaks on the Panasonic. Since recording a few seconds of new footage on the Canon seemed to be a miracle cure, I decided to try the same thing on the Panasonic. Voila! Blue streaks are gone. I tested other tapes . . .all blue streaks gone from the Panasonic and all gray streaks gone from the Canon.
If recording new footage on the Panasonic somehow magically realigned the heads or something, that should have fixed it last week when this problem first arose on my Panasonic. I tried all these same tests on the Panasonic and the blue streaks wouldn't go away on both newly recorded footage and previously recorded footage.
How is it possible that both of these cameras were working incorrectly in the same manner with several different tapes and then, simply by recording several seconds of new footage, they were miraculously healed? This is bizarre!!!
The only thing I did differently in all this troubleshooting was eat a banana. After that, things were fine. I say that half jokingly, but that is literally what I did. I took a break and at a banana, then 5 minutes later I tried exactly the same things and the cameras worked.
I guess I should be happy that both cameras are working now, but since I have no clue what the common denominator was that caused them to malfunction, and I have no clue how they both healed themselves, I'm worried about using them when I'm trying to record important footage.
Any serious thoughts about how this miracle has happened? (Yes, I know that user error is usually the next thing to consider, but I took very methodical steps to isolate the problem, so I really think the odds of that being the cause are very slim.)

Sounds like dirty heads to me....
I had a similar problem a few years ago. Weird streaks started showing up in my footage, so I used my friend's camera to figure out if it was a problem with the tape or my camera. I ended up transferring dirt from my camera to my friend's with the tape I was using. The footage was ruined, but I ran a head cleaning tape through both cameras and never had the problem since, although I haven't used MiniDV in a few years now.
Sounds like you did the same thing as me....meaning you're right twice: 1) the tapes had dirt on them, and 2) both cameras were having the same problem because the tape was dirty
it seems weird that recording new footage fixed the problem, but its possible that it cleaned the dirt of the heads (temporarily). I'd say buy a couple head cleaning tapes and you'll be fine....and maybe try eating more bananas

Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes. The color wheel comes on and My work stops. I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem.

Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes. The color wheel comes on and My work stops. I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem. I'll get 20-30 minutes of work done and then a sync or something comes on, the color wheel of death shows up, and my productivity is shot. I have to shut the computer down the hard way! when it comes back up, it is still either frozen or slow. I've checked in at the genius bar and all they say is that there have been some problems that Apple is trying to fix. It effects Mail, Contacts, Safari, Calendar....yeah, pretty much everything. My iPhone and iPad are not effected as much so I end up doing what I can with them. I've seen the blogs out there and understand that many have the same problem. I have been waiting to read about a fix but I have found nothing! Any ideas?

Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
For startup issues... open System Preferences > Users & Groups - Login Items. Delete any apps listed there then restart your mac.
And disable the Lion "resume" feature.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
And Spotlight may be indexing... you can turn that off > Turning Off Spotlight | Mac Tricks And Tips

In FCP x backup process is constantly running in background even though its done which results into slow working of FCP x. any idea to resolve the issue. I am using 10.1.3 and facing the problem ever since i have updated my FCP x to 10.1.3

Go into preferences and under playback turn off background render. That helped speed things for me when working with large files.

Any solution ever found to the airplane problem??

I've got the dreaded problem-- I read the threads here about it.
I have the 60 Gig.
In the plane, the first song might play, then after that, the iPod just advances through the songs, one at a time, without playing anything. It takes about 10 seconds per song to do that.
At the same time, it is nearly impossible to get it to shut down, and it eats about half the battery in 10 minutes.
If you finally get it to reboot, it sometimes gives the sad ipod face, sometimes it reboots to the screen where you have to select language and all the playlists are gone.
However, as soon as you land, if you reboot, it's all back there again.
It works 100% of the time on the ground, and close to 0% of the time in the air.
No warranty left, of course-- has a "fix" ever been discovered.

What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

Browser Dog, Amy,
The default font remains Myriad Pro until you change it, either in the RGB/CMYK Startup files or in the preferences, options depending on versions.
Concerning missing font names, I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.
It was first presented in this post #15 by TheUlser:
