Utorrent messed with my browser settings among other things?
So I had downloaded utorrent yesterday but ended up not needing it like I did and I realized that it had changed my browser settings to go straight to Yahoo Search. I fixed the extensions and reset the browser home page and everything and continued on my day not thinking much about it and shut down my computer before i went to bed.
This morning though, I tried to turn on my computer and rather than an apple symbol coming up while it turned on, it showed a circle with a slash going through it. I did a reboot and managed to get my computer to turn on normally. I went to my browser and once again, Yahoo was coming up. I did a bit of searching and found out that with the utorrent download, it sets up the crappy yahoo search so I tried to uninstall utorrent (it doesnt give any uninstall option so i dragged everything i could find having to do with utorrent and put it in the trashcan and emptied the trash) but STILL, my browser is going straight to Yahoo. I can't figure out how to change it or find whatever it is that is on my computer that is making this happen and I can't find a proper answer anywhere else on the internet. I'm not sure if the computer startup problem is just a coincidence or if it is due to whatever was set up with utorrent. What can I do to fix the browser problem? could the start up issue be related? I'm afraid I might have a virus or something. Is there a way I can reset things to how they were 2 days ago when I didn't have this issue?
These mofos - I trusted uTorrent because it's always been good so just clicked yes yes yes without reading. To change these settings back on chrome:
1. Open settings (either top right "hamburger" or from the menu bar Chrome -> Preferences
2. In the section "On startup" it's set it to "Open a page or specific set of pages". Click set pages and delete that yahoo crap and then choose your preferred option (I like "Continue where you left off")
3. It's changed your default search engine to Yahoo. Still in preferences, in the Search section click "Manage Search Engines". Click "Make default" next to Google then delete all the search engines you never want to use.
I think that puts everything back how it was. Will repost if I find anything else.

I am hoping someone can understand what has happened. Poor responses from Apple as they say my unit is too old! I have an OSX 10.5.8 Leopard. When signing in to Apple inadvertently signed into Cloud and it downloaded to my computer. Now, my mail has stopped working and lost all info. When I asked Apple how to uninstall, they told me that was not possible. I do not understand. Surely someone out there can help me retrieve my mail and iphoto programs. I have not checked on the rest. Thanks so much for reading and hopefully I can find a decent response?
LindaSomeone over here might be able to help as well. I'd leave posts in both places.

I have some old cd's I have burned onto itunes. Howcan I copy them to my iphone without using the cloud? I donot want to mess with my cloud settings because I am a technophobe. Please be gentle
Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

Gnome Crashes on Login after messing with dual monitor settings
Gnome displays the sad monitor and has the error message "..something has gone wrong..~" and will force me to log out. I've only started to experience this after messing with dual monitor settings in nvidia. The dual setup(twinview) worked but once I rebooted, I couldn't get it going for awhile.
Here's my xorg.conf

I commented out below to get it in again, but it still feels shaky and unstable to log in now. Sometimes I will get the error and after a log out and login, it'll work.

Extra Notes: I have another desktop session with awesome installed(uninstalled now) and could log into that no problem. Awesome was giving me troubles so I uninstalled it. I have 2 gnome desktop sessions, my regular gnome session(the one that crashes), and the other with no window manager(never crashed on startup).
I installed awesome around the same time as configuring the dual monitor setup.
Thanks.Update.
The crashes are to be expected now. I'm circumventing the whole thing by logging into my other Gnome session without a window manager, logging out and then logging back into my regular Gnome with Metacity.
I've noticed the tty1 sessions(not sure what's it's called) is strange. Apparently my session runs on tty8 but when I try logging in, it'll crash me and tty7 gives me a blank screen with a blinking underscore. The other tty1s work regularly. Not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Is there a way to just reset the Gnome settings? -
The final footage flicker on tv. I use encore cs4 4.0.1.048. With the same settings on other pc it's ok.
The crash report that you posted says the crash occurred during an OpenGL instruction. This means that there is a problem with OpenGL in your current graphics card drivers. I would suggest you do some research online about your graphics card model and its OpenGL 2.0 support. Perhaps there are others out there with similar issues in other OpenGL based applications.
Here are a
few more troubleshooting tips you can try, if you still have the strength for it. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, but we'll try to get you through it.

Is a music bed muzak for a movie? (among other things)
Is a music bed muzak for a movie? (among other things) [not play upon the alias of our illustrious poster, Muzak]
LMrohan,
Thank you for the leads. I shall follow them.
My inquiry into beds started when I heard your Chapel bit. It was so different from the Apple looped things I had found when doing the Google.
Would this rule work: "Do what you want, but no melody"?
The Chapel link is in the following paragraph, from your post:
"i find sculpture very difficult to use. its a bit like logic with in logic - the possiblities are incredible. i don't use it for sound medelling though. it gives you an opportunity to create very organic and sophisticated beds.
because you can automate it and its method of sound production allows for very sophisticated, detailed and emorphous sound, you can, with a lot of work, produce some remarkable effects and beds. blended in with other things it can really bring to life a cue.
here is an example i particularly like, although it doesn't take sculpture as far as i have done since i wrote this, but they're not up on my site yet. it starts with an unsettling and eerie sound that was perfect for the cue...

What is the best way to transfer apps, contacts, et cetera from one iPhone (3G) and computer (2006 MacBook) to a new iPhone (4S) and computer (early 2011 MacBook Pro)? I have already moved music, among other things using Migration Assistant but I cannot locate contacts or Apps.
transfer just SOME of the applications
it's all or none, i'm afraid. -
BEA Portals will NOT work with particular browser settings
Hi Everyone,
A colleage just had very unexpected results when using our portal (v8.1 SP2).
We found that the problem was due to the broswer cache setting. The 'Check for
newer versions of stored pages' option in IE5.5 was set to 'never' and obviously
the browser was redisplaying wrong pages of the portal causing various errors.
Surely when these portals are released to the public you don't need to ask for
specific browser settings for people to use them?
Is there anyway to force the browser to not use the cache? Has anyone had any
other browser issues with Portal?
Thanks in Advance,
Alex.Hi Alex,
We've experienced similar problems. Setting the following metatags in the head-section
of the should work:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-store">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">
You can set them in the head.jsp file in the framework, right after the <head>
tag.
Due to some bug in IE when size is less than 64 Kb. you will also have to set
the following just before the </html> tag. I've set them in shell.jsp in the framework:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">
</head>
(Yes - you need the <head> and </head> tags!?)
Hope this helps??

Among other things, I have no firefox button so can't do anything with settings
With whatever last update was, my Firefox has gone bonkers. Toolbars, File/Edit/Bookmarks line, etc. are missing. There is NO firefox button, so I can't even try solutions offered. When firefox is open, I cannot see any of the things I have open on my computer (e.g. bar at the bottom of screen), clock, etc. The only way I can get to anything is to type part or all of the website address in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and did not work.
Usually you have either the orange Firefox button (abbreviated menus) or the classic menu bar. You shouldn't be left without either.
To display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key, then
View menu > Toolbars > ''check'' Menu Bar
In theory, unchecking that again would restore the orange Firefox button.
Does any of that work? -
In an effort to solve the problem below, I fiddled with a lot of settings. How can I revert to the settings as they originally featured ? (the default settings)
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
You can use "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window. -
Discoverer: Capturing record with the latest date among others
Hi there,
I would appreciate if anyone can help me in Discoverer10g Report. The report gives me the following results. Let me know if any more info needed.
Example:

Basic Life 01-JAN-2011 76000.00 11-NOV-2010 Stephanie 01-JAN-2011 2.63 68.40 11-NOV-2010

What I want to capture is latest date record from available records of the same employee and if there is only one record, I would want that too. In short, the ones which has '(yes)' at the end.
What function can I use to get the desired results.
Thank you!
NNHi Tamir,
I used the the function(for another report which has similar situation) you mentioned but it gives me an error saying-
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected.
Its is OAB module indeed. some how due to date issue during our Insurance Vendor changes, I get multiple records of the same employees with some blank fields. See the example below.
*4.36 07-AUG-2010 31-DEC-4712 07-AUG-2010 07-AUG-2010 21206*
NULL 07-AUG-2010 31-DEC-4712 07-AUG-2010 21206
3.95 01-JAN-2010 31-DEC-4712 01-JAN-2010 01-JAN-2010 21206
Now out of three I need the one in bold letters. and there are other employees having just one record like
Amt Cov_St_DT Cov_End_Dt Rate_St_Date Rt_Effective Dt EEID
1.45 15-SEP-2010 31-DEC-4712 15-SEP-2010 15-SEP-2010 22777
7.65 01-JAN-2010 31-DEC-4712 01-JAN-2010 01-JAN-2010 21298
so I need the single records as well as latest(date) record of multiple records of one employee.
Let me know if you need more information.
One more thing- is there any way to see the actual query I am running?(not sql Inspector)
Thank you!

p.s Thank you for the earlier reply.

Problem with Voicemail, among other things
I have been having problems since the upgrade to 2.0 on my iPhone. I have the original 8GB phone. The problem is that voicemails will not show up right away, sometimes taking more than 24 hours to show. This also is happening on my girlfriends phone also and is a big problem with work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?Usually you have either the orange Firefox button (abbreviated menus) or the classic menu bar. You shouldn't be left without either.

How do you change the name of your phone? I am having that horrible problem of my phone suddenly not working (no audio) with my Bluetooth (apparently due to the most recent update) and nothing has worked thus far to try to restore it....some one recommended I change the name of my phone and then try to sync it with my car...
Thank you...this was a suggestion from a blog regarding the Bluetooth problem that has resulted from the most recent upgrade---lost the audio capabilities suddenly in my car as have other people and there is nothing that Apple has had me do that has restored it! I am not a very happy camper regarding this dilemma! thank you for your help though!

Some one messed with my battry settings, now its ****ed, help.
hello all.
i have a friend who is a mac fanboy, he knows all these tricks of getting around a mac, and he was showing me some things with my battry settigns, how to show how much time left, and so on.
but later that day, and ever since, instead of my mac warning me its got hardly any power left, and instead of going to sleep it turns off instead.
1- what did the guy do? he doesnt know either
2- is there away to restore the system defaults to sort this out, with out doing anythign to my hard drive applications, music and so on.Hello mx:
If we had some idea of what he did, we could trash some preference files. Since we do not, I think I would opt for an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
You should, of course, back up your system before any software changes.
