Two little things driving me crazy...

It's the little things that get you...
I just hooked up an Airport Extreme for my laptop, replacing an older Airport which had issues. It's hooked to a DSL modem.
Mostly this is for the better, but two things are worse:
1) It doesn't automatically reconnect to my network when I reopen the lid any more. I have to choose my network each time.
2) For some reason, now I have a counter or timer in the menu bar, showing how long I've been connected to the Internet. Something I do NOT need to know every second as I work.
Of course, the way to solve 2 would be to remove the Airport signal strength doohickey from the menu bar, and with it the timer, except that I need it there since I have to reconnect every time I open the lid!
Anyone know how to 1) make it automatically reconnect every time it's opened, like it used to and 2) make the dang counter go away? Thanks in advance.

Michael,
1) Open System Preferences>Network>Airport and at "By default, join:" select "Preferred Networks" instead of "Automatic" - then select the name of your network and then click on "Apply Now" button at bottom of panel.
2) Open the Airport icon at the top of your screen, select the name of your network and de-select "Show Time Connected"

Simplest of things driving me crazy

I'm no spreadsheet power user but I have used them before. Would rather use Numbers than Excel.
All I want to do is have the sum of anything in columns F to S placed in column C and have the sum Column C and Column D (UK VAT sales tax) appear in Column E.
I can do it in individual rows with no problem. But I'd like to apply it to the entire column. If I put the formulae into the header (=, Sum, then shift clicking headers of rows F to S) not only does the header name vanish but I get columns of red dots saying "Sum isn't a valid reference"
It's driving me barmy though I'm sure most of you will know what I'm doing wrong instantly.

Hello
Don't worry
C7 =SUM(F:S)
D7 =SUM(C:D)+C7
Is it what you wanted ?
The top header is not done to contain formulas using entire columns,
it is done to enter a formula which will be repeated in every cells under it.
Add a top header to my sample table and enter =SUM(F:S) in the cell E1 (in the top header)
You will get 105 in every cells from E2 to E7

My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

1. The most efficient way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad and having that plugged into a wall outlet. Trying to charge while connected to a laptop often doesn't work because the USB port may not provide enough power.
2. Once an iPad battery has completely drained it may take an hour or more on the wall charger before the iPad responds. So after an hour on the charger reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
3. If the iPad still does not start up make an appt at the Apple store. It will be far better if you have an appointment rather than just walking in because those with appointments will be taken care of before you are.

The little rainbow wheel on my iMac keeps spinning every few seconds. What can I do, it's driving me crazy.

It just means it is busy.
What are you doing that would make it busy?
Is your data backed up?

My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

As I continue making the slow transition from Avid to FCP, little things that should be no-brainers continually trip me up. What can I do to keep my border intact and not lose it when I crop?
Secondly, why is it when I change the speed of a clip on the timeline does it stretch the clip out and push everything down (and vice-a-versa too)? I simply want to - in Avid terms - time warp it within the span of the timeline's clip.
Thanks gents,

Many have made the journey.
You have to leave your baggage at the door, FCP is a very different beast that will confound you to start with.
But you may learn to love many features and wonder why it is so hard on an Avid.
In any case,
the answer you are looking for lies in the order or computation in FCP.
Motion follows Filter.
So you need to work around this little order issue.
Crop the image or footage.
Then nest (under the Sequence menu),
Right click the nested clip in your timeline, select load in Viewer,
add your border.
Welcome to your first new way of thinking in FCP.
You'll find many more times you will wonder how people don't scream 10 times a day on FCP.
Then a years time you might use an Avid and ask "why can't I just import a 2000 pixel image and zoom with out it looking rubbish?"

Mail 2.1.3 on Tiger: mutiples of everything is driving me crazy!

Hi, I recently had to reformat my hard drive and thus have been trying to reinstall all my email accounts (which I had backed up). I am using MAIL 2.1.3.
I have several questions (this is driving me crazy!!):
When I imported the archived files, it created new mailboxes but DID NOT reinstall my mail in it's corresponding email account file (i.e: i have an email account for incoming mail with "username", and then far below I have a mailbox (for EACH account, and I have about 7) which contains all my old mail. I can't seem to merge the two.
When I recreated my useraccounts (most of which are gmail), I followed online instructions and created all my accounts using IMAP, since my first attempt using the POP version of these same accounts would NOT SEND OUT any of my Gmail mail. Now, for EACH ACCOUNT, not only do I have a "regular mailbox", I have the same "imported" from my old version, AND a third folder under "IMAP".... All this is REALLY driving me crazy!!
All I want to achieve is what i had before : one version of each of my email accounts, including Gmail, that both recieve AND send mail. Nothing more.
On the my other computer (leopard) Mail configures itself and everything works: it's bliss!!!
Can anyone help me clear up this mess (also because as a result everything is SLOW!!)
Infinite thanks,
Nicaru

Thanks BDAqua, Unfortunately I did not do a very good job explaining myself.
I am not trying to sync two computers (Tiger/Leopard). The Leopard comment was just me venting that it was so much a better program than Tiger....
No, what I want is simply to recreate my Mail Client the way it looked before: with one inbox per username, a single Sent/Draft/Outgoing mailbox and that's all!!
Instead for each username I have "normal" Inboxes, PLUS imported folders (each with their own Inbox/Sent/Draft mailboxes) PLUS IMAP folders again with their own individual Inbox/Sent/Draft mailboxes). My homepage when I open Mail contains something like 21 folders, whereas I only want the 7 (one per username).
This whole thing came about because when I tried to import my old mailboxes (pre-formatting my mac) they imported as separate folders whereas I wanted them to merge into their respective accounts.
The other issue I had (originally) which led to this mess is that none of my Gmail accounts would SEND mail (receiving is Ok) so I followed the online IMAP instructions and this is where I got triplets....
Gosh, I don't know how else to explain it... If it's still not clear perhaps I should just erase everything and start from scratch??
Thanks again,
Nicaru

Sound Effects Driving Me Crazy

I went to user preferences -> sounds -> and unchecked "play user sound effects" and unchecked "play front row sound effects".
Yet the sound effects for opening new web pages, clicking on the menu bar, etc keep happening.
They are driving me crazy. How do I make them stop?
- Terribly Vexed.

There may be two things to try. 1: update Mac OS X to v. 10.5.4. this may help. The second option is to simply mute the volume. Hope it works!

System message driving me crazy:-/

This system message shows about 30 times a day! It's driving me crazy!! :-/ Please help!!
process.com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.extension.online process has stopped.

Hi
Samuel provided the best option , and since you've update to lollipop recently , a repair would be helpfull not only in removing these glitches, it would further enhance performance and experience.
If you don't really want to repair, then you could just try 1-2 things and see if it helps a little bit.
Go to settings > apps > all > smart connect > clear data .
Then uninstall updates, and update the app through Play store again. Or simply disable it if you don't use it.

Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

Help!Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

I understand why you would think that, but logically it doesn't make sense. I can read and write to the ipod with windows explorer with no problems, so the flash drive seems to be ok. I can also load, read and play songs through Itunes 6 on the computer with no problems. The problems start in Itunes 7 and when the ipod is used as an ipod alone....not a drive. The diagnostic windows tell me the drive is fine and the battery is ok (just a little low on voltage) but hubby says not enough to worry about. If anything was wrong with the hardware I wouldn't be able to use it as a drive would I? Its almost as though the thing is "stuck" on the boot up window of "use Itunes to restore". I even tried to load rockbox. The software all loaded but I still got the itunes restore window on startup and thats as far as I can go. Another thing I noticed recently is I can't seem to turn the ipod off! I can reset it but it just "reboots". After the restore notice about 10 seconds later the whole screen will blank out. Also when I plug the ipod directly to the wall to charge, I also get the apple...then the itunes restore notice...but never a battery charge icon (like my classic 20gb)...is this normal? This nano was given to me - (Also, this is a first generation, but I posted in the second generation thread) Would a repartition work?

Every time I've tried to open my hotmail today, an H&R Block site pops up trying to get me to buy their tax prep software and I can't find a way around it. This is driving me crazy. Please help.

Every time I've tried to open my hot mail today the page is usurped by H&R Block, trying to get me to buy their tax prep software and I don't see a way to close it out.

No, it doesn't come up in any other browser. The interesting thing this morning was I had inadvertently doubleclicked my hotmail icon and two windows came up, one over the other. The first one had the H&R Block site that is driving me crazy, which I closed, but the second one had my dear old emails without the dreaded H&R Block takeover. I haven't been able to send a picture of the page, but it looks like an H&R Block web site and lists the various tax prep software and prices. You can navigate all around the site, too.

Curve issues driving me crazy!!

Ok, so I bought my BB Curve in January, and at first I loved it!
A few days ago though it began going crazy. Everytime I try to open something I get that annoying clock thing, and then once I finally get the program open, it stays. This happens during phone calls (so it is rediculous trying to answer and end calls) writing texts and email - anything.
Then I added in the battery issue - my phone will die within 6 hours, even if I am not doing anything different.
And now...the last few nights the screen has gone white with a weird meesage on it (something like APP ERROR I think...)
I got a new SIM card, and that fixed it for about 6 hours.
This is driving me crazy! i take my battery out so many times during the day it is almost not worth having a phone!
Please please please help!

I have the Curve 8130 - my carrier is ATT & for about the last mth it has been sluggish. The hourglass keeps popping up like something is running in the background. I have not loaded any new apps recently & it does starighten out after I pop the battery, but that's getting old pretty quick. Fortunately, I'm not having battery issues - but it is a nuisance to keep fighting with that **bleep** hourglass. Anybody else out there having the same issues or are we just the lucky ones???
Looks like 2 different carriers here, so I don't think it's an ATT thing. Is Blackberry doing something or upgrading something that maybe we're not aware of? I never had an issue with my Curve before - but this last month has been really aggravating. I'm sure we can't be the only 2 people having these issues. Help!!!

Auto Sync driving me crazy!

Hi can anyone help me.
Im using LR CC and when i select 2 or more images in develop module and make changes (when auto sync is selected) only my visible image changes (not all selected images).
what am I doing wrong? its driving me crazy!!
any advice appreciated
Andrew

Never heard of such a thing - are you sure auto-sync is enabled in develop module?
Note: Develop module and Library module both have a separate auto-sync control (i.e. one can be enabled and the other disabled).
Are you saying that the other images are not appearing changed (previews in filmstrip not being updated), or their settings are not being changed (develop settings unaltered).
