This is normal, right?!

My question is this: whenever I turn on the computer or wake it from sleep, the disc drive (at least I'm pretty darn sure it's the disc drive) makes a bit of noise (same rhythm/sound every time). I just want to check to make sure this is normal. It's also a somewhat noisy drive when it comes to loading discs, burning, erasing, etc. Normal, yes? I hope so!
Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

Very normal. In fact, there's a link on Apple's site about it...

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

Not sure if this is the right place...Recovery or Finding missing files

Hi,
Again, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but its worth a shot.
so i've been transcribing video all day using microsoft office for mac, and was saving the project (i thought) to an external hard drive. at one point the HD came unplugged, and i plugged it back in. no big deal. i continued to save, to type, save, type, etc until finished. so when i finished and saved the project, seemed okay. when i closed word, it kept asking me if i wanted to save changes...i said yes, and it would just ask me again, did this a few times. i assumed it was asking me to save it to a new location, which i didn't think i needed so finally said no.
i then find out that somehow when the HD was unplugged it erased Words ability to save to said location. so my last save was really before the HD was removed, which is odd, because i kept saving and never was prompted the path was interrupted or anything.
so my question is two part...
1. where would i find in the depths of the computer the saved files? if i was saving, they had to have gone somewhere, but i dont know how to find them.
2. also, assuming it wasnt saving, my word prefs say it autosaves every 5 minutes, so those files must exist somewhere also, yet can't find them...
does this make sense, can anyone help me?
thanks

Hi there,
In Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists.
See if it may be in one of those with a 1 or 2 added to it.

Trained for ADSL2+, does this look about right

I got migrated from ADSLmax over to ADSL2+ about 10 days ago, and since then the line has been training. Please could someone look at the stats below and tell me if this looks about right?
I changed from a HH1.5 to HH2.0. I was hoping to get about 19MBit/s, based on the fairly low attenuation, but it appears to have settled on 14.5MBit/s. I have left the router switched on without interruption for about 1 week now. It drops and reconnects about once per day, which I assume is normal during training. The noise margin seems to have settled on about 6dB, which I believe is fairly normal as well.
Any thoughts?
I suspect that this is probably as good as it gets for me, but would appreciate someone knowledgeable checking for me, thanks

I would expect the noise margin to fall to 6db or maybe less on a good line and increase conenction speed to about 19mb again assuming good line with no noise problems - just leave it conencted and it should reduce given a bit more time

Is this beavior normal ?

Guys,
I have a question about DBA_ views owned by SYS. I have a situation.. ie.
1) When logged on to SQLPlus as user A, I can SELECT from SYS.DBA_USERS - this is because user A has the OEM_MONITOR role.
2) When logged on to SQLPlus as user A and trying to compile a PL/SQL procedure that references SYS.DBA_USERS, I get SYS.DBA_USERS table not found.
Is this a normal behavior ? Is this documented somewhere ? Please can you direct me to the document please ?
Many thanks.
Regards,
Ganesh

Is this a normal behavior ? yes. we can only build stored procedures (or views come to that) using privileges that have been granted to our user and not any just a role our user has rights on.
Is this documented somewhere ?yes.
Please can you direct me to the document please ?Sure. find out more.
Cheers, APC

Is this really normal battery drain for a new iPhone? Unconvinced...

I have a brand new iPhone. And I like it very much. But two days in, I am already finding myself charging it twice a day. I realise I'm probably using it a fair bit because it's new and exciting, but I can't help but wonder if it's draining faster than it should be even in standby. I charged it before going to a party tonight and now I'm back, results are below.
<img src="http://emob23.photobucket.com/albums/b391/satineladiamant/photo.png">
Push was off, emails fetched hourly. Active usage was mostly Facebook and browsing after getting home. Coming fresh from standby before that browsing, it was about 85% full.
Is this drain normal for usage like this? I am sceptical (and not sure how else to check if I'm right...)

It may be your exchange account or even your mail account. As they continue to connect to the server and checking for new e-mails. Here is what you can do. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calanders. From there tap on your mail account, delete it, and do a hard reset by holding the power button (top) and the home button for 10-15 seconds until apple logo appears (ignore the red slider). Once your phone powers back up, recreate your mail account.
but I would say that should be about right. It all depends on what you do. Personally, about 1 hour 30 minute usage will get me about average of 75%, depending on what I do. Currently, my usage time is 3 hr. 11 min. at 46% Standby at 8 hour 17 min. 7 hour is a good average of usage before the phone dies.

In new iPad 4g, when sim card is not inserted, I can not find the enable 4g tap in the setting-cellular data tap, can some one please tell me if this is normal and if so, then when it appears, thanks

If the SIM is out of your phone, find my phone needs a data connection, so could use wifi - IF in range of a wifi and one that it can join (ie. a known network or one that is wholly open so no login required). Your phone could also simple be turned off, so not findable, or it may have been restored (plugged into iTunes and restored as new) again, making it permanently unfindable. Honestly, for someone stealing an iPhone, this is likely the first thing they do - restore as new and it is theirs forever.
Find my iPhone is tied to the users iCloud account - the find function is part of the iCloud account's services and it communicates with the iCloud servers over a data connection - either wifi or 3G.
Have you set up your iCloud account on your replacement phone, and is it working properly on that phone?

Two phones ordered, only one shipped. The iPhone 6 has shipped with tracking number and charge to my card. iPhone 6 Plus has no information available, no one at CS can tell me if this is normal, if it is delayed, any info appreciated.

I placed an upgrade order for two phones, an iPhone 6 and 6plus.
I was in the Verizon shopping cart at 11:55 and checked out by 12:01 AM pacific time.
I do have my email confirmation for both phones with ship date 9/19
The iPhone 6 has shipped with tracking number and the charge to my card came through for the price of this phone.
There is no other information available - nothing on the status of the 6 Plus. Customer service doesn't know if this is normal or if my order went through, its really bad.
Any further information would be much appreciated.

I was just told by a Verizon sales rep that, when her team got in, when she checked the system at 3:03 (midnight+ 3 minutes) all 6Plus had a back order date of October, and now its going into November even though the pre-order system was showing 9/19 - that all verizon iphone 6 plus had an instant sell out.
She had no additional information on my iPhone 6 plus, not even if there was a chance for it to ship out, when the back order date would be - no further information.
(A different rep I talked to said all iphone 6 plus pre orders had a ship date of October, all of them - I asked what Verizon is going to do when they advertised iphone 6 plus for 9/19 delivery and your telling me they never had any available - at this point he transferred me... *****)

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.
Matt

CS6 - Can't draw multiple lines with the same starting point consecutively without an extended pause between strokes. Ruins hatching and writing certain letters ("i" "E" etc.). Is this a normal limitation of flash?

Question is in the title. I animate in a traditional style (frame-by-frame) and draw a lot. When I animated in photoshop, the only annoyance was that the interface was terrible in terms of animation flexibility, but performed so much better in terms of actually drawing the frames. I invested in flash because I've heard that it really speeds up the animation workflow, but I'm getting quite irritated by this bug. I never read about it in reviews, and it's not something that I've gotten results for by googling, so I'd really like to know. Is this a normal issue in flash? Or is this something that I can fix? I've been trying to deal with it for a few weeks now but it's reaching a point where I just can't tolerate it anymore. I know I'm posting this in the CC community but I'd really really appreciate it if someone had a fix for this that I wasn't aware of, because otherwise I've wasted a lot of money.

Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery. But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, however any redirect is appreciated. Where can I get the download for the latest old mozilla browser. The one with the dinosaur icon before the browser turned firefox. Thanks, Jen

Phoenix and Firebird were what Firefox was called before Firefox was settled on in 2004, and both used "birds" as the logo. IIRC, the dinosaur was used in the Mozilla Suite.
Here are the earliest versions of the Mozilla Suite. <br />

I hope this request for a historical purposes of where Mozilla came from, because those old versions aren't safe to use on the internet any longer.

ms-design-css-conversion="no" Did I add this to the right place?
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" ms-design-css-conversion="no" />
Do I need to add this, ms-design-css-conversion="no" to all my css link or just
the one above ref google fonts?
Thank you.

Hi,
You are right, if the ms-design-css-conversion set to “no” which means there is no need to do the conversion for the tag.
Example:
<link href="/Documents/Styles/Default.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" ms-design-css-conversion="no" />

Hi there,
There's not a lot anyone can say about that - A picture speaks a thousand words, and all that.
I'm currently using a Netgear WNR3500L and according to GRC.com, I'm fully stealthed, as the screenie below shows.
If you can afford to do so then I can only recommend that you upgrade your HH to another router which is more capable.
I hope this info helps.

This is normal, right?!
