WHY is TBird continually asking for my passwords? It lets me into my email whether I give it or not so what good is it? This is getting very old.

When I do enter my password TB tells me it's wrong but it IS NOT wrong - I've checked them in preferences they are correct. What is the deal here?
Also, problem #2: I do not want TB to be my default client, Every time I log in I get a window offering to set TB as default with no choice not to. This comes up every time. I have a screen shot of it but there's no attach button on this screen.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Linda

re: When I do enter my password TB tells me it's wrong but it IS NOT wrong - I've checked them in preferences they are correct. What is the deal here?
First check that the password will get access to your webmail. If you are prompted to update the webmail password, then follow instructions to update it.
In Thunderbird, remove the stored password, both mailbox and smtp.
* Tools > Options > Security > Passwords tab
* click on 'Saved passwords'
* click on 'Show passwords'
* highlight the mailbox and smtp passwords for account
* click on 'Remove'
* click on 'Close'
* click on OK to save changes to Options.
* Close thunderbird and wait a short while for background processes to complete.
* Restart Thunderbird.
* It should ask for password, enter at prompt and select Password Manager to remember the password.
* Click on OK.
''re: Every time I log in I get a window offering to set TB as default with no choice not to. This comes up every time.''
Maybe you have a setting to check to see if TB is the default client?
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab
* under 'System Integration'
* 'Always check to see if Thunderbird is the default mail client on startup'
* Uncheck this checkbox.
* click on OK to save changes.

It's been a while since I asked a Question, so I cannot remember if there was a facility to add an image at the time of creating the question.
But once a question has been created, below every 'Post a Reply' text entry box, there is 'Add images:' and a 'Browse' button.
click on Browse button, locate the saved image and click on Open to upload it. You will need to add some text in the reply box to give the image some context. Then click on 'Post Reply'

How to solve issue with strange iphoto events shown in itunes for sync IOS devices ? This issue is very old and not been fixed by apple... terrible

all softwares latest version january 2013.
I see in itunes many strange crazy iphoto events that in iphoto do not exist.
These vents are named as data and contains just few photos.
each event can be sync with IOS devices, but that event is not in iphoto !
It looks like miniatures... no way to solve this issue making all possible maintenance in iphoto library.
THis issue is very old, very terrible, people start to have doubts about iphoto as a reliable software.
Need a fix asap.
Apple please help!
I were with 2 hours at genius bar but nothing.
Genius told me apple have been informed and they are working on a solution..... this 4 months ago !!!
Need solution asap
THanks
Fabio

Apple aren't here. As you're the only person with this problem that I've seen on here, I would suspect that its more a local problem on your machine than something Apple need to fix.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

This is getting really old

This is getting really old.
I keep running into limits on the way I can access information.
I have some code that was looking at a SerialElement:
pSerialElement.getChildAt(0).toString();     trace produces "[object VideoElement]"
Now if I simply store that SerialElement in a MediaElement (pMediaElement = pSerialElement )
I no longer can do a getChildAt.
trace pMediaElement = [object SerialElement]   (it says it's a SerialElement)
trace pPlayer.media = [object SerialElement]
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildAt through a reference with static type org.osmf.media:MediaElement.
You encourage us to use MediaElement, yet you lock us out of inspecting our elements
once inside the MediaElement.
I want read-only access to the objects inside of MediaElement.
I should be able to inspect the SerialElement no matter which way it's stored.
I honestly don't understand the logic, on an open source project, to locking everything down
so tight with private vars.

Yes, this type casting you had mentioned before, just didn't stick in my memory.
Sorry for the late night rant.
I'm now getting the results I wanted, thanks again for your patience.
trace(pMediaElement);
result: [object SerialElement]
trace(pPlayer.media);
result: [object SerialElement]
trace ((pPlayer.media as SerialElement).getChildAt(0));
result: [object VideoElement]
trace ((pMediaElement as SerialElement).getChildAt(0));
result: [object VideoElement]
trace ((pMediaElement as SerialElement).getChildAt(0).resource);
result: [object URLResource]
var vResource:URLResource = ((pMediaElement as SerialElement).getChildAt(0).resource as URLResource);
trace (vResource.url);
result:   ./media/walkin.flv

(I do NOT use norton at all) Some of my saved bookmarks keep disappearing when I close and re-open my browser..this is getting very frustrating! (firefox 4.0)

I have read about this happening, but the only solution is for people who use Norton, and I do not-it is not even on my laptop at all..
I have firefox 4.0. Every time I close firefox, some of my SAVED bookmarks are missing when I re-open later. I tried re-saving them, but then when I close and re-open firefox later on again, some more bookmarks are gone..this only happens when I exit for a while..if I close and re-open firefox right away the bookmarks are all still there.
This is very frustrating! I never had this problem with firefox 3.whatever..PLEASE HELP??
ps. i am not very technical, so if there is a bunch of hard things I have to do myself to fix this, then I think I will switch to Internet Explorer..

Yes - see [[options window - privacy panel]]. There is an option to clear some of the history when Firefox closes, you can customise that.

Need 256 Bit AES Full Disk Encryption for a Mac. The other discussions regarding this issue are very old. Does anyone have any current advice regarding encryption software?

Does anyone have any advice regarding 256 bit full disk encryption software for Macs? The other discussions on the topic are years old, so I would like some current input. Thanks for your help in advance.

Depending on your Mac, you might not want to upgrade to OS X 10.7 or 10.8 as it will not run the PowerPC based software your currently using costing a bundle to replace it all, also they will slow down your machine if it's not a more recent issue. You don't want to upgrade OS X without AppleCare defending your possibly bricked logicboard that's for sure.
Filevault encrypts the boot drive, however in doing so makes it near impossible to fix if you have a software issue and need to recover files directly or by using specialty software. Also it robs the machine of performance even more than the Lions do. So you will really need a SSD to work best with 10.7/10.8 and Filevault, then it has to be freshly installed. Filevault needs 50% free space on the boot drive, then it's going to write to the slower 50% half of the hard drive where performance is terrible compared to the first 50%.
Also Filevault is cracked under certain conditions, and if someone gets their hands on the machine (like the law) and knows what they are doing.
If you take your Filevaulted machine to Apple to fix, they are going to require the password to fix the machine obviously.
Software based encryption is vulnerable, you might want to instead place your sensitive data on external self-encrypting hardware that doesn't rely upon software or computer hacks/bypasses (ike freezing the RAM) to get to it.
http://www.datalocker.com/products/datalocker-dl3.html
Iron Keys for portable USB self encryption, both work with any computer, so your not locked into one platform.
With the senstive data off the computer and on a external device, there is the option of removing, hiding and securing the device. If used with a computer that's never connected to the Internet, it's safe from snoopers, except from a survelliance van parked outside your door.

This is getting reallllllllllly old.

I am about to my end with the random problems with iDVD. I had the other post about a project somehow picking up audio from an old project I had trashed. Yesterday I had another major problem. Doing another project, and saving as a disk image - same as I always do. It took 8 solid hours to render (never had one quite that long before) than it locked up when it got to the step of actually writting the disk immage. So I had to start over again. This time it took only 6 1/2 hours to render, and wrote the immage fine.
I know from reading these boards and talking with others that iDVD seems to have lots of random problems like this. Yet with every update, they still exist. Do the folks at Apple actually take the time to read some of these posts?

This is getting very silly now

new look vision was installed a few weeks back and straight away we noticed colour distortion when watching Via vision. now all our recordings are mostly black and white, flickering with the odd return to colour, but generally so poor, that our vision is like watching an old 1960 film.

Version 5.0 will not unload itself from memory when I close it. This results in not being able to open FF later unless I manually go and close the application in Windows task manager. Any ideas as this is getting very frustrating.

I have this issue on 3 computers that were just updated with FF 5.0. When I close FF, the application "Firefox.exe *32" remains in memory. Trying to open FF again later greets me with the error that FF can't open because another instance of FF is already running. Previous versions did unload completely and never caused this issue..

I found the culprit. Norton Internet Security added an add-on to FF called Symantic IPS 2.0 which is causing FF 5 not to close properly. I have no idea what it is for but FF works properly again with it disabled.
For reference, that add-on worked fine with FF 3.x as well as FF 4.x. It just doesn't seem to like FF 5.0.

Doesn't it get very old, same question about running dos command?

To everyone who is tooo lazy to search.
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("progname arg1 arg2");
What a wast of everyone's time responding to the same question on how to run a dos command.

I think you'll find it's
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"progname", "arg1", "arg2"});

Headphone sound too loud - how to get very fine volume control in osx

I could not use my headphones on my new MBP, because the sound was always too loud, even on the smallest setting. It appears that lots of other people have similar problems, so here is a way to fix this:
To get very fine sound volume control I use soundflower fromhttp://code.google.com/p/soundflower/. You have to restart after installing it. Then go to preferences/sound/output and choose soundflower(2ch). Start soundflower from the applications folder, click on the flower symbol in the top pannel and soundflower(2ch) built in output. Then go to Audio setup and change the master for soundflower(2ch). This way you can get the global sound less loud or you can amplify it.
Hope this helps a few people

You saved my life (and my ears) ! Thank you marcel-sl for sharing this (;
Prety cool software if you have an USB headset too loud. Now, I can use F11 and F12 (;

I have an iPad that is now over twelve months old, it doesn't get over used, however in the last few days, it has started to get very hot after only a few minutes use, is this a fixable issue

Is it getting hot only when charging?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

The case of my 7 month old mbp has started to get very hot within minutes of switching it on. Is this normal and is there anything I can do?hing

The case of my 7 month old mpb has started to get very hot within 2 or 3 minutes of switching it on. Is this normal and is there anything I can do?

The heat generated by the system is directly related to the load put on the system and the speed of the fans.
The former (high CPU load) generates heat, the latter (fan speed) dissipates it.
If your machine is getting hot then either some process is consuming lots of CPU power, causing more heat to be generated, or your fans are not working properly to dissipate whatever heat is being generated.
So the first question is whether your fans speeds kick into high gear or not? if they don't then it could indicate a hardware problem, either with broken fans, or with broken temperature sensors that control the fan speed.
If the fans do come on but the system is still getting hot then I'd look for a software issue - some process that's running rampant. It should be easy to spot with something like /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor. There should be a lot of processes listed, but most should use just a few percentage points of CPU power. If any process is using a lot of CPU power then it warrants some investigation - what is that process? should it be running? Is it failing in some way. Post the results of your Activity Montor report and I'm sure someone can chime in.

ITunes will not open, this is a disgrace, getting very desperate...

Ok, I am going mad here and getting very angry.
Last night, after updating to the very latest version of itunes, it now refuses to open.
I have clicked the desktop shortcut, used the start menu, gone into it through program files and still nothing.
I have disabled my anti virus and firewall (Bullguard) still no good.
I have installed and reinstalled itunes + quicktime together, nothing.
I have removed each of them individually and then reinstalled, again nothing.
I have installed an older version of itunes, nothing. (one from over a year ago)
I can see in the task manager Itunes.exe has loaded and so has itunes helper, but nothing appears on screen. I have ended both those processes and tried loading again, nothing.
I have been looking though numerous online forums with suggestions from other people but nothing has helped me so far.
At the end of my patience, I did a destructive reinstall and restored my PC to its factory settings, thinking that is bound to solve the problem.
That naturally took a while but I have just downloaded and reinstalled itunes and quicktime.
To my complete and utter horror, nothing happens.
So I tried an older version of itunes and again, nothing.
I have created a new user account on my laptop, no difference.
I have also installed itunes to a different directory, not c/programfiles and still it refuses to launch.
Please, please can someone help me with this. My Laptop is running windows vista, 2.0 Intel Dual Core Processer T5750, 2gb ram, (I did have 4gb but one stick failed a few weeks ago and I haven't replaced it yet)
I really cannot see what else I can do, especially as I have restored my PC to its factory settings and it still won't work.
My laptop is about a few hours away from being chucked out of my lounge window...
Please help...
Thanks,
Nick

I have followed instructions found elsewhere to do the following:
•“C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove (Note: delete the quotes displayed here and type again using keyboard)
•Navigate to the following folder in Windows Explorer: C:\Program Files\Bonjour
•Rename the mdnsNSP.dll file in that folder to mdnsNSP.old
•Restart your computer
•Delete the the Program Files\Bonjour folder
All successful, now there is nothing that has anything to do with iTunes , Quictime, Apple Software Update, Bonjuor,...etc on my machine, now what do I install so I can get iTunes to work on Win 7 x 64 bit edition... ?
Thanks,
Rick

This is getting old

First, I want to thank Rosa, the tech who helpe me fix my wife's Blackberry Curve so it was able to complete the system update. And she was a multi-tasking machine as she also addressed my issue with my DroidX.
What I am writing here is in no way, a reflection to the Tech I mentioned above. This is an issue I am still having with my DX. My first one was perfect. Except when it through itself into an endless boot load with the Droid Eye during the Froyo update and it throwing itself into 1X all.the time and having no data transfer. Since then I have had the same issue with the 3G dropping out. But with different issues on top of that as well. For instance, my next one sent to me also had a camera button malfunction - it wouldn't register the keypress/keystroke. That got sent back. I got another. That was having the same issues plus it rebooting itself and acting weird. Almost possessed. That was sent back. I got another. That one - same issue pluss when I go into the Android Market, I would download something ( i.e. Informed ALS Field Guide which I have had for a while with no issues) and the download would drop off. And disappear. As if the download was not even started. Alsong with some "meteor" action while I select icons on the screen and try to type. That one is going back. And the replacement I have now has the same issue with the 3G dropping off with no data transfers STILL. It dropped on me 3 times while trying to type this. And this one is unreliable with the screen selections. i.e. I press on the top right, and a totally different spot on the screen is selected. Sometimes across the the whole thing. And I noticed that the charge slot is quite loose. None of the other ones were this loose. The cord will pop out if I am not carefull placing the phone down to charge. God forbid if I try to use it while it's charging. Because I will deffinately pop out then.
Which brongs me to an other gripe. Why the hell am I going to get a "certified "like new"" phone (especially after all tbis) when I BOUGHT THE **bleep** THING OUTRIGHT. I didn't buy it with the discount. I bought it full retail price. If I buy a package of Pringles® and I notice something wrong and take it back,they will exchange it for a new one. Not an almost full container that was not completely tampered with. I'm just about ready to do to this phone what the old lady did years ago in the Discount Tire Co.™ commercial - throw it through your window to return it.
Before people start saying all the crap about " well, are you in a decent area?", "try switching around some of the settings," "maybe it's an app that is causing the problem?" and other rediculous things, let me me frank and clear. It would happen after a hard reset with nothing but stock apps and system settings. And I was in the Military. I know about characteristics with electronics like this and know my way around this type of thing. And I know that sometime unexplainable weird ju-ju happens with things. Hell, I've seen a piece of equipment power itself on with no remote wired in or no equipment around that had it's frequency. But this is several phones now. And I am extremely frustrated and **bleep** off about it.
This is just strict theory, speculation, and hypothesis on my part here. But I think that it may be something to do with the phone not being able to handle the slight fluctuations in the frequency and signals. My wife's Curve would be side by side with my DX in the same spot and my 3G will drop off completely while hers either has a normal SLIGHT fluctuation but handles it very well, or no fluctuation at all. And when I have both phones going to the same web page, mine will (when 3G drops off) will sit there for a very long time if not forever still trying to load the page (with no arrows either, mind you) while my wife's pbone goes right to it. And it's really sad when you take into consoderation the specs of this phone compared to her Blackberry Curve 9330. This this is supposed to smoke any other 3G phone - 1GHZ processor, at least 512MB RAM, total around 40MB (being modest) available storage. And that's not getting into other spec aspecs and ratios. But her pbone would have a tendancy to get to the page first and have it loaded before mine. Mine would still be outside smoking a cigarette and then come inside to have a cup of coffe. But then decide to take a nap. Which is rediculous. Because WHEN this expensive paperweight decides to hit on all cylinders, it kicks everything else in the junk. And then points and laughs. But unfortunately the performance is unreliable and as predictable as a schizophrenic at a noisy and busy shopping mall exhibiting signs of suicidal idiations (SI's).
Anyone want to go "Droid Golfing" with me? I've been itching to see what this does when struck with my driver.
But if any VZW supervisor actually read this in it's entirety, Rosa did go above and beyond to help me get my wife's phone to push the update on her phone. And she deserves A LOT of kudos for that. Especially because I was "that call." The one any representative dreads. You're watching the clock and you're getting excited because its 5 minutes before your shift ends. You can feel it. You can taste it. Almost freedom when all of a sudden your call light comes on. But then it ends up being that complicated situation that takes an hour or longer to resolve. And she even maintained her patience with me and made sure her job was done and done right before she let me go.....that is before I fumbled my phone and inadvertently pressed the end button ending the call. While I was in the middle of explaining something no less! But she did try calling back and at that point my DX decided that it was done working for a while because I didn't know she tried calling back until ten minutes later when for whatever reason I decided to turn my phone off and then back on again. And then I looked up at the top of my screen. And there was a voicemail. From her still trying to make sure sure it was still updating properly.

Have you tried updating roaming by calling *228 and #2, this usually helps with this situation.

I have to agree the plug is to loose and kind of a pain at times...I use my dock to avoid this..

I would guess this is because the device is coming from another source other than manufacture and do to the guidlines of the warrenty Verizon serves as a middle man to cover the device under Motorola policy... Also even if you dealt with Motorola they would most likely replace with a remanufactured device which is the same as a "Like New" from Verizon. This is a common practice these days. Not saying its right but is in the guideline of warrenty.

And I am extremely frustrated and **bleep** off about it.
After 2.2 update there was a new feature option under Settings / Privacy / Automatic Restore that has been causing a number of issues to continue to return on several device because this option restores system settings that usually caused the reason for hard reset, it is wise to disable this to avoid this issue... I had one device replaced because of this before I identified this as the issue.

It is hard to compare two different devices signal by the number of bars because the device displays information for signal from a calibrated source that the manufactured programmed to their specs and this can cause the number of bars vary from device to device. I have had devices that gave perfect reception during calls when the device only showed one bar. Just something to take is consideration.

Comparing Droid X (Full Version Browsing) verse a BB with a mobile base browsing experience will always be slower because the mobile version disables all animations or unoptimized data and also do not forget that flash requires additional time to render but the full version requires more resources.
