Trash - "preparing to empty trash" for 5 hours. there are 97,000 files. is this normal?

And with 97000 files it IS going to take a "while". Finder, in it's "infinite wisdom", counts the files and the deletes. It's bad enough if it's on an internal drive for that many files, but I can only imagine how long it would take with a USB or firewire external. If you are really sure you want to delete all that stuff then some choices might be,
1. Start the empty trash and go to bed! Maybe, just maybe, it will be done in the morning.
2. Use terminal to do it (won't supply the commands here, but it is a choice).
3. Try a third party utility which hopefully will empty the trash like you would from terminal. Try TrashIt.

[svn] 3519: Fix typo in error string for situations where there are advanced messaging configuration settings from LCDS used in the configuration files but no AdvancedMessagingSupport service .

Log Message:
Fix typo in error string for situations where there are advanced messaging configuration settings from LCDS used in the configuration files but no AdvancedMessagingSupport service. The error string said that there was no flex.messaging.services.AdvancedMessagingService registered but it is the flex.messaging.services.AdvancedMessagingSupport service that needs to be registered.
Add configuration test that starts the server with a destination that has the reliable property set which is an advanced messaging feature but there is no AdvancedMessagingSupport service registered.

Hi,
Unfortunately I already tried all kinds of re-installs (the full list is in my original message). The only one remaining is the reinstall of Windows 8 itself, which I would really like to avoid.
What I find really strange is the time it takes for the above error message to appear. It's like one hour or even more (never measured exactly, I left the computer running).
What kind of a timeout is that? I would expect that, if ports are really used by some other application, I get the message in less than a minute (seconds, actually). To me this looks like the emulator itself for some reason believes there's a problem with
some port while in reality there isn't.
I'll eventually contact Microsoft Support, thanks for the suggestion.

any help would be much appreciated

Well, first, just make sure it's the Mac version and not the Windows version (which indeed would not run on your Mac). You say "Windows Office" which is why I mention it. I think you probably just mean "Microsoft Office" though.
Next, is this on a disk (DVD), or did you purchase and download it from the Microsoft site?

There are no known viruses for OS X. If you have to worry about a website putting some malware on your computer, then you should not visit it any longer. Find a legitimate site.

What cables are best when connecting apple tv, my HD tv has 2 HDMI slots but they are both in use, one for Sky and one for cinema. There are no hdmi slots spare on the cinema either ...

Mine has four Seriously shauntana the splitter is easy, a simple click to changre feed and eventually you will damage the HDMI port or cable by taking it in and out. True you can only use one feed at a time nut you can only use one port on the telly at one time too. I used it on my old one port telly for PS3 and Sky and it worked a treat.

Am I billed for periods where there are no events?

Assume I have a dev/test scenario where there are long periods of time when I'm not actively testing my code. If I have running jobs waiting for input and there are no events, am I billed for that time?

There are two meters for which your Stream Analytics gets billed [1]
(1) Data ingressed by your streaming job
(2) CPU memory used by the running job
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/stream-analytics/
So if you are not sending any events you will not be billed for (1) but you will still be billed for (2) since you have a streaming job that is allocated and running.
You will have to STOP your job in order to avoid getting billed at all
Thanks

When I check usage in my iPad 2, Mail shows it is using 2G. Removing all emails (sent, trash, etc) it is still using 1.9G. Is this normal?

When you do an upgrade, sometimes the pad goes back to the isp server for the unread count. These are likely old e mails that you never opened, and are so far down the list that they dont make it to your oad. In any event - go to the mail server via safari or on a computer and use webmail. You can find those emails there and delete them -

It takes over an hour for the rental movies from itunes to download. is this normal?

it takes over an hour to download. is this normal?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That all depends on your internet service. 6 Mbps or better is recommended for HD rental content. 2.5 Mbps for SD. You can check your actual internet speed at speedtest.net.
If you'd rather download SD content to avoid waits, you can change the type of content available by default in settings.

I just downloaded Maverick on my Macbook Pro from 2011. When I try to open iPhoto, it says that I have an old version that doesn't work with Maverick. None of the solutions stated on this forum work for me, because there are no options displayed.

After downloading Maverick on the MacBook Pro that I bought in 2011, I am unable to open iPhoto. The message says "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. You have "iPhoto" 9.2.3" What??? That is ridiculous. Why doesn't Maverick download everything? I've tried the "fixes" I found on this forum, but none of them work for me, because there is no workaround via the library. I can't access the library.

I have an old iPhoto version and it still works with Mavericks, the version before yours, that is puzzling.

Why Adobe dont want support for ArmV6 if there are many devices with these?

Many people use Android devices with ARMv6 like: Galaxy ace, Motorola Defy, Galaxy y, LG Optimus One, etc, ect. I think that therea are more with ARMv6 that ARMv7 check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596800
This link you can see the top 10 of the most common devices Android and the 3th is galaxy ace one devices with ARMv6.

My Adobe friends. This is true. The big problem that have Adobe Air as framework for develop mobile Aplications is that, if you realy want that Adobe Air be truly one standard for the community, you need cover all devices, no some, otherwise Adobe Air will continue every day more in oblivion.
If we as developer choosing Adobe AIR as platform to build mobile apps even as simple as "Hello World" or bank aplications, school aplications, enterprices aplications, there are a huge percentage of Android user cant run it. Which means our apps is going to losing millions or billions of potential customer because of chosing Adobe AIR.
Another thing. Unity, Sencha, Titanium, etc, etc, etc have support to ARMv6 why Adobe don't want support these devices? - This causes only one result: the people will have to resign from adobe AIR mobile technology.
I hope that Adobe understand and bring AIR support on all those lower performance device (ARMv6) especially those new ARMv6 device.

To play devil's advocate:
* The 3rd most popular phone you mention (Galaxy Ace) was released in Feb 2011. I'd say it's falling out of that chart fast.
* Motorola Defy was released October 2010. Galaxy Y, October 2011. LG Optimus one, October 2010. If the flagship phones for the architecture are 2+ years old, it doesn't speak much for its market penetration.
* Unity doesn't support ARMv6. As far back as 2011 they announced they'd focus on v7, and whatever support v6 might have is very limited. (Source)
While I'm sure there's a place in the current market for armv6, it's something that's already legacy and it's going away fast. Not sure it makes sense to spend resources on that. "You need cover all devices" stops making sense when the effort necessary exceeds the returns. I don't see any "new" ARMv6 devices coming out either.
ARMv6 is dying or dead, depending on how you look at it. It'd make much more sense to support a platform that has new high-end devices coming out (x86).
If you as a developer absolutely need to support those old, low-end devices, using a simple framework like PhoneGap is a better solution.

Thunderbird 31.3.0 Mac Yosemite. Thunderbird does not ask for password, when there are no passwords saved

Have deleted account.
Created new existing mail account, enter server details, click test - the server details are found automatically. Then enter password and click ok - then Thunderbird hangs forever while saying that password is ok.
Alternatively - create new existing mail account without entering password, click ok, then procedure goes through, and the email gets created. However, it never asks for password. Even upon restart of Thunderbird and machine. There are no passwords saved under security settings
Please help

Update notification (red badge) for iOS 8.0.2 on 4S but none for 8.0 or 8.0.1. Is this normal?

I have a iphone 4S and I use it everyday yet something comes up as being strange. When iOS 8 was released there was no red badge on the settings, it also wasn't there when the blotched 8.0.1 update came up so why is it now coming up for 8.0.2?
What's apple policy on the badge? (2 updates? 1 month from new iOS?) Can someone tell me if this is normal (update notification on the third iOS "version/update (counting 8.0 as 1st)" instead if it being there from the moment a new iOS comes out) and if you've had a similar situation please let me know.

If a device on a network can crash a router/WAP, the issue is with that router/WAP is there is no "crash the network" command within the Wi-Fi protocol.
That's why there are networking standards; if properly adhered to they dictate what will occur when commands are received and commensurately, the only things that will happen.
Feel free to fill out the form and peruse the actual specifications of the protocol yourself if you so choose; there's no "crash network" option.

Whether the router is Apple's or another vendor's, it needs to be able to deal with whatever traffic/commands are sent to it.
