Very weird message on my mac
A banner appeared on the screen with the following message: 192.168.02 in use by 00:21:e9:95:42eb,DHCP server 192.168.0.1
It seems very strange, should I be worried?
HI,
Not to worry. Try this and see if that dialog disappears.
If you are set up to receive your IP address using DHCP, you can force your computer to renew your current IP address.
This might be helpful in an environment where many computers use the same DHCP server, or the network administrator has set up a short DHCP lease time.
Choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Choose your connection service that uses DHCP from the list (such as Ethernet or AirPort).
Click Advanced, click TCP/IP, and then click Renew DHCP Lease.
DHCP - What is it?

Internet browseing, FONTS LOOK VERY WEIRD (BLURRY) NEW TO MAC!
hey everyone, adam here...just switched from windows to mac last week and still have a lot of questions... one thing that ive been wondering tho is why a lot of the fonts when browseing and such now seem to look very blurry, as well as some pictures...fonts that didnt look this way in windows..is there some way to change this, or is this just something i dont know about..
it does this only on firefox,and i cant figure out why, it looks fine on safari?
adam harrisonadam,
Sounds like font smoothing.
In System Preferences>Appearance what "Font smoothing style" is selected?
Also what is the size set for turning off font smoothing? You might try selecting a higher number.

Weird message trying to uinstall package...
Hello,
Sorry to disturb in this newsgroup but I'm receiving a weird message trying to uninstall Designer from my HD and receive a message from OUI software stating that it requires a newer version of OUI. In fact I'm uninstalling it because it gives a very weird message I posted before but nobody answered unfortunately. Therefore I will install Designer 10g afterwards and try to solve the problem...
I never had this problem before. The version I have is Installer 2.3.2.0. Is this correct or there is another version available? If so from where can I download it please?
The oracle configuration is:
- OS Windows XP Professional SP2
- Database 10g with Designer 91 in the same oracle home
- Developer 10g complete in its own oracle home
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
André LuizHello,
Thanks for the response. In fact there was a mistake in the first message:
I never had this problem before. The version I have is Installer 2.1 and I don't remember and next 2 nunmbers of the OUI version.
The above is what should have been written.
Should I just run OUI directly from the CD in the folder Developer 1/2 install win32?
Thank you,

Messages - this is very weird - scary even
SO I came back to my iMac from running an errand. Before I left I was having a conco with my kid. He iPhone to me. The messages came to imac Messages. Not my iPhone - iOS6. I'm running 10.8.2. Messages.
SO I come back, open Messages and a whole new conversation is now in Messages and has taken place, with only a number, with a photo no less - from someone I don't know. Replies and all. Nothing ever came to my iPhone while out - only for a half hour no less.
A number I don't know. NO name. Number not in my Contacts at all. I'm fully iCloud. Wokring great.
This is very very weird. I have Messages set for my iPhone number and two emails. One my Me email.
Their convo was plain - making plans for the night and the photo of his car engine that broke down.
Any ideas how this could be? I can understand getting a message to me sending to my number typed in incorectly - BUT I GOT THE REPLIES TO. Like it came from my computer!!HI,
I would be interested to know the solution.
My guess is that the second email is your son's

Hey Folks...i'm totally ****** off !

I canceled the update from Snowleopard to Lion by cleaning my keys ^^. Hit the wrong key i thing. Now i'm very weird ...only can start in Windows and dont know how to get my Lion Update now...Cant start in Mac OS X (Snowleopard) now
Please tell me what i have to do know
greets
< Edited By Host >Hello fuchs (guess), If you cancelled while downloading the 4GB Lion, no problem, download again. Snow Leopard should run (start holding the option key).
If you cancelled during the install process, I do not know. In this case you could try to start with the CMD + R keys pressed, and choose the restore, which may work if the creation of the restore partition of Lion has finished.
If that does not work, reinstall Snow Leopard with the CD (start holding the C key), after that download the Combo Update 10.6.8 to update the Snow Leopard completely, then redownload Lion (App Store, click "purchases" while holding the Option Key, find Lion, click "install"). If you want to have your own copy of the Lion installer, you have to copy the installer to a Memory stick or burn to DVD before you install, see else where.

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
From Ian in Paris, FranceIan
I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes. -
PBT wont start up passed the grey apple logo, I get a very weird
PBT 400mhz wont start up passed the grey apple logo, I get a very weird symbol after 5 minutes of the logo. I get the "NOT" symbol. A circle with the line through it, then it just locks up forever.
Booting from a Tiger DVD gets a boot but sees no Hard drive or rather it says "an install error occured". (i was hoping an Tiger upgrade would fix the problem..)
Brand new hard drive with 10.3.x was very recently installed w/no problems. Any ideas?Oh I picked the ATARI 2800 format! Ooops!
Of course I picked the Mac OS Extended...
Well, you might be surprised to know how many people don't. One has to ask.
There was NO SMART status as I believ its not on 2.5" drives (?).
Not true. Some have SMART built in; others don't. Lately they all do. Jaguar may not support SMART (I don't recall), but Panther and Tiger do if your drive is equipped with it.
Installer disks are fine I use them to install on used macs to sell all the time...
...which, to all appearances, makes you a flagrant, repeat violator of Apple's licensing agreement and of the laws against software piracy. Probably not a good idea to advertise this here in Apple's house.
As for your LB error message in AHT, I'd hazard a guess (because your hard drive no longer appears) that it might have something to do with the ATA controller on the LB. Perhaps the controller was gagging intermittently for a while before its final complete collapse, which may now have occurred. Replacing the board is the remedy. -
Apple Banned me, because of a very weird problem with my "Factory Unlocked"
Hi Everybody! Im having a very weird problem with my unlocked iphone 4.
First of all, i would like to apologize because of my english, is not very good. My native language is Spanish.
Well.. Im from Mexico, and here we can buy the iphone Unlocked on the Apple Online Store.
Here's my problem. Apple has exchanged my iphone 3 times.
I returned the iphone the first time because the screen was totally yellowish, other than that everything was working great!, that was by the end of September.
On October 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then a bigger problem started .
Before i continue, let me give you this information: here in Mexico we have basically 3 cell phone companies
1.- Telcel
2.- Movistar
3.- Unefon
OK, now on october 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then procced to activate via itunes using my UNEFON sim card (microsim).
And every time i tried to activate it, only got this message onscreen:
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/jorgelomeli/Screenshot2010-10-29at24915PM. png
I though something was wrong with my brand new factory unlocked iphone 4.
I have 4 more simcards from my brothers (they all had iphone 4 too)
I tried telcel sim card, and i could activate my iphone. Then i insterted the Movistar microsim, and it worked too!! But then when i put the Unefon sim, the itunes logo inmediatly appears on the screen asking to activate on itunes, and when i tried that, the only response i got was the image above saying " The Simcard inserted on this iphone does not appear to be supported"
Weird thing here is, that, when i put my Unefon sim card on my brothers iphone 4, it worked great! on all of them, internet 3g, phone, wireless , evrything!
I called apple support, and they exchange the iphone for another one.
I recieved the third iphone on October 29. Last friday. and guess what? SAME PROBLEM! different serial number, same week production (week 42) but exactly the same message on itunes.
Very, very frustrated, i called apple again, and after 1 hour with thechnical support, they told me " We are sorry, but we can only offer you, your money back, NO MORE EXCHANGES FOR YOU"
I said why?... i dont want my money back! i want an UNLOCKED iphone!, but they refuse to give me another iphone.
When i asked techincal support, why my unefon sim card worked great on all three of my brothers iphone but not on mine, he just told me, "I really dont know, i guess they just got lucky" ****, this answer put all my trust i had on apple products for years, right on the garbage.
Since they refused to give me another iphone, i accepted my money back, and inmediatly after i finished the call, i asked my brother to buy me one more time an iphone 4 using his name, and his credit card. Now i have to wait until November 8-12 to recieve my new iphone, hoping this time i get a REAL UNLOCKED iphone, and not a partially unlocked iphone.
btw. i even went to Unefon costumer service and bought a new prepiad line, with a new microsim, just to be 100% sure that this problem is not because of the sim. And again didnt worked on my iphone, but it worked on any of my brothers iphone4.
Serial numbers of the 3 iphones:
79039C0U* (this one worked great with Unefon, only problem was yellow screen)
85042GR4*
81042FJB*
What do you suggest me? any info would be really aprecciated
FYI i also restore 4 times the last iphone and nothing seemed to work, i use 3 different computers, Macbook Pro, iMac, and an Hp with Windows 7, and the same message on all three computers.
Wierd thing also, one of my brothers bougth an iphone 4 this last week too, but he bought the 16Gb not the 32Gb. His iphone production week is 42 also! and when i put my Unefon sim in his iphone works great!
I dont know what else i can do, I just need to have faith that my new iphone coming this november will be real unlocked, but what if i'll recieve an iphone and then the same problem?? time for android? just kidding really guys, what can i do? anyone with similar problem like me? i dont wanna use Telcel or Movistar, i wanna use Unefon, and thats why i bought an Unlocked iphone
btw: jailbreak is not a solution for me, because i always like to use legal software on all my apple products, and because of the warranty.According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937, there are two official carriers in Mexico (Movistar and Telcel) and neither carrier offers an unlocked phone.

How do I change the phone number associated with messages on my Mac?
My computer is posting messges meant for my wife. How do I delete her phone number from my iMac Messages?
Hi,
Remove the Apple ID from any iPhone you don't want it linked to.
On the Mac go to the Messages app and Sign Out of the Apple ID in iMessages account.
Quit the App.
Now open a Finder window
In the Go Menu use the ALT key at the same time and select the Library that appears.
In here navigate to the Preferences folder.
Delete the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file (Drag to Trash).
This will delete all Aliases and Alternatives in the iMessages account.
Re-open Messages and Add the Apple ID you want to use.
Now Add the Apple ID to any iPhone you do want to use it with.
Restart Messages on the Mac and when the pop ups appear to say what the iPhone is using Accept the option.
If any iPhone number appears in a pop up that you do not want to use then Deny the pop up.
(it will still add the Apple ID or phone number to the Alternative/Aliases list and the Start Conversation From drop down but they will not be active).
Basically once any two iPhone number become linked via iMessages it is very difficult to remove this link.
An Additional iPhone number on your iPhone as an alternative cannot be removed.
Only deleting the .plist will remove it (at that point in time) on the Mac.
Whilst denying fresh pop ups helps the items still seem to be listed.
I have two iPhones using two different Apple IDs and obviously two numbers along with an iPad and the Mac running Messages.
Periodically each devices gets a pop up saying Messages is trying to display all the options on all devices again
As William said the simplest method is to Untick the item in the list of Alternatives.

.xmp files showing up in my SD card when accessing RAW files in Finder... Very weird!
Hi,
I'm having a very weird problem... I'm using a 4GB Scandisk SD card and am shooting my RAW photos on a Canon Rebel 2ti. I'm using a Macbook Pro, 2011 2.3Ghz i5, 4gb of Ram, with Lion v. 10.7.2 and am accessing the SD card RAW files through Finder. I'm secondary clicking on the image file or double clicking them as PS is my default opening program for RAW files. When I hit the "Done" key on any of the Photoshop files, a new .xmp file shows up in Finder. When I open it, it's a Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8 License Agreement...
I do have Microsoft Office 11 installed and have never used Messenger. It's not a huge deal, but it's driving me crazy and it's totally weird!
Thanks,
-DaveIt's a lot of separate, unrelated things happening to you in one long chain, but each step is normal and explainable.
You are opening raw files straight from a card into Photoshop. Photoshop will open them in Camera Raw. Camera Raw's preferences are set to save changes in XMP sidecar files. You are clicking Done, which applies the default Camera Raw processing, and that change generates an XMP file to store these new settings. That's why an XMP file is showing up in the same folder. On a computer, that's fine. But writing back out to a camera card with a device other than the camera is not recommended. What is recommended is to use another, faster way to preview raw files on a card without changing them (Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, Apple Aperture, Photo Mechanic, etc.), so that the card's left untouched as it should be.
If you don't want the XMP file to be generated, you have to do just one of the following:
In Camera Raw preferences, change the "Save image settings in" option to "Camera Raw database", not "Sidecar XMP files".
Instead of clicking Done every time, which applies any changes, click Cancel instead, if you were just looking and not editing.
Use something other than Photoshop to preview raw files. Most of the other ways are faster than opening them in Photoshop. The recommended workflow is to use a camera downloading utility to look through all the images on the card at once (instead of one by one as you are doing), and then select only the ones you want to bring into your computer. Bridge (via File > Get Photos from Camera, not by browsing), Lightroom, Aperture, and iPhoto all have that capability.
As to why double-clicking an XMP file opens a Messenger license agreement: As you probably know, the system has to figure out what program should open a file with a given filename extension. It sounds like maybe both Adobe and Microsoft have used the XMP extension, and the Office installer probably associated it with some type of MS Messenger file. So when you double-click an XMP file, Mac OS X opens Messenger. Since you have not used Messenger before, it's showing you the "first run" screen for Messenger, and Microsoft has set it up so that you have to click Agree on the license agreement before using it. If you never click Agree, it will still be the "first run" next time you open Messenger, whether you meant to or not. You can use Get Info in the Mac Finder to reassign XMP to open in another program.
You probably didn't expect so many things to happen from just opening a raw file off a card, but that's the way it worked out. -

Launch the Messages application. Go to and click on the Messages menu, which is at the very top left of the screen, next to the Apple logo. Then click on Preferences, then Accounts.
I think you probably have a Macbook Pro, don't you.

1. Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
2. Product Number: A7P68EA#ABV
3. OS: Windows 7
4. No error messages
5. No changes whatsoever.
6. Problem:
I just bought this laptop and when trying out music files, I noticed that the sound is very weird..like an echoey sort of sound. For example, for a certain song, I can only hear the background music for the most part and the words are very unclear like they're coming from a very deep place. I can't really explain it. I tried downloading like 10 songs and it's the same problem with all of them. I moved the songs to my phone and the sound was normal.
I can sense this effect for the videos as well, only in this case it's less obvious because there's no music.
I also tried different players; WMP, VLC..etc.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!Hi,
Try a clean install of the audio driver as follows.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if this has has any effect on the issue.
Regards,
DP-K

We've started 're-vlanning' our main location here, breaking up depts
into their own vlans.
All seems ok so far, aside from a real doozy.
For the IT vlan, we have one address that will not talk to our web
content mgmt appliance. It's the 2nd address in our assignable pool,
and it doesn't matter if it's dhcp or statically assigned, that address
will not talk to that device.
That is the *only* device that cannot be reached from this particular
address in our dept vlan, every other one works fine.
Any ideas on this?

So.... the title of this thread should actually be 'Very weird non-DHCP
issue', since your own testing confirms this has nothing to do with DHCP?
If you do a LAN trace on this machine as well as your web content
management appliance do you see packets on either side? Both sides? If
not on both sides but you do on the source (workstation) side see
packets going out, then get LAN traces after each network device
(switch, router, firewall, etc.) to see when the packets disappear.
Feel free to post the LAN traces somewhere with descriptions of IPs,
ports, and what you should be seeing, if you want to post them somewhere
for review.
Good luck.

Projects doing very weird things
This has really been driving me nuts.
I'm on Mac 10.8.5. Just recently updated to CC 2014 v8.
I've been working on several projects lately, and very weird things are happening every time I open a project. Usually when you save and exit a project, when you reopen it, it will open to the same sequence you were last working on, but for some reason every time I open it will load a random sequence I hadn't worked on in a long time. Sometimes when I open, the project will load slowly indexing and conforming and generating peak files. After it thinking for 5 minutes, I go to play my sequence that was fine yesterday and now some audio tracks that are still in the timeline no longer contain any audio. When I match frame, the audio clip appears in source, but has no waveform and will not play any audio. Some audio tracks do not have waveforms but DO play audio, and when I match frame on those, the clip comes up and plays audio but shows no waveform.
Restarted computer and now all the audio loads fine, but thumbnails for all video aren't showing.
The other day I had a similar situation with VIDEO. Clips were randomly "pending" or "offline" and I would 'link' them, but it would remain offline or pending. Eventually it fixed itself somehow.
I'm having a hell of a time here. This is really holding me back from my work. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this as it is different everytime.
I'm working from an external harddrive that is brand new, and shouldn't be having any permissions issues...
Any insight would be appreciated!Some trouble shooting:
Open Premiere while holding down shift+alt until welcome screen then
Clear out Media Cache database and remove remaining files in that folder manually.
See if that will help.
