  • IPad mini randomly opens and closes apps, changes pages on book readers

    My iPad mini has gone crazy, it randomly opens and closes apps, plays games itself, changes pages whilst reading a book, starts flashing. Tried everything, rebooted the device, updated it always with the latest software update and have reset the iPad as a new IPad with no success. The problem still occurs which is really enjoying. I checked on the Internet and I'm not the only one with an iPad mini with this problem. The iPad is older than one year, what are my chances of resolving this and how?

    I have this problem with my PDFs too. I'm using a lot of PDFs from the German RPG "The Dark Eye" (Das schwarze Auge) from their the PDF shop "ulisses ebooks".
    However, i recognized that I don't get this random black boxes after a restart of the iPad Air for a long time. But when it starts it's become very frequently.
    To remove the black boxes for a single page i can close the book and reopen it or just mark text from the corrupted page. Zoom in removes the black boxes too, but if you zoom out there are visible again.
    I also recognzied that this must be a problem if the iPads PDF engine and not from iBooks. I got the same random black boxes in a PDF which I viewd in Safari.
    I think that changing the reader will only help if it has its own PDF Engine. Don't know if this possible in iOS.
    Perhaps it's some kind of memory leak of the iOS PDF Engine, after this bug apperas only after some time of ussage.

  • My macbook is going to sleep while I'm working or viewing something. I will sometimes have to open and close it several times to get it to "wake up" again. Any suggestions?

    my macbook is going to sleep while I'm working or viewing something. I will sometimes have to open and close it several times to get it to "wake up" again. Also, no sound comes out of my Macbook. I only hear with earbuds or headphones. Any suggestions?

    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "Previous Shutdown" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • Hi, I've been trying to configure my MacBook Air to the iCloud and for the last 3 days it's still uploading my calender. Also a few entries made to the calender in the last few days seem to have gone missing. Is this normal? How long will the upload take?

  • Playbook opens and closes apps randomly, constantly

    I have a 32gig playbook that all of a sudden has gone haywire. The screen goes nuts like someone is inside playing around, apps open and close randomly to the point I can't do anything. I've tried reseting, 3 button reset, managed to do a security wipe but nothing helps. It does it if its plugged in charging or not, I've looked through a few posts and this seems to happen for time to time but very few people have posted any solution. I will try to reinstall the OS when I get home but with the thing going haywire I'm not sure I can get it to connect to do that. Is there any solution to this? What caused it?

    Here is the procedure. Read it over first, then do it.
    You need to follow these instructions to "debrick" your PlayBook:
    1. Do a backup of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software version 7 installed. It can be downloaded from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    2. After the backup is finished, unplug the PlayBook and on the PlayBook press and hold down the power button until the unit forces the device off.
    3. With the Desktop Software still open on your computer and the PlayBook powered off, connect the PlayBook to your computer once again.
    4. You should see an error screen from Desktop Software popup with the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
    Very quickly choose the Update option.
    5. All information will on your PlayBook will be erased and a reload of the Software will commence to install on the PlayBook.
    6. Once this is complete your PlayBook will go back through the initial (as if new) setup wizard (entering the BlackBerryID, etc., and then you can perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your personal data from the backup. Applications which you downloaded from AppWorld won't restore, but they can be easily reinstalled using AppWorld > MyWorld section of AppWorld.

  • The Apple trackpad won't except the "pinch open and close" command on Firefox version 4. It is configured correctly in the system preferences. HELP!

    I am using the Apple trackpad with Firefox version 4. The trackpad won't "pinch open and close". It is configured correctly in the system preferences. It also worked in version 3. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Do the related browser.gesture prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page still have a value set for those gestures?
    Which Firefox function should be performed with those gestures?
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • Photoshop 12 trial version will open and Close before I can use it

    How can I fix this problem when I open Photoshop Elements 12 it opens and closes immediately?

    Ralph Hoover
    You have posted in the wrong Adobe Forum. If you have Photoshop Elements 12, you should be posting in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum, not the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    Either repost your question or wait for a moderator to see your thread and place it in the appropriate forum.
    Some questions to think about...
    a. How are you opening the program? From the desktop icon? If so, how far do you get....do you get the Welcome Screen and does it stay open? Is it only when you hit Welcome Screen Organizer or Editor Tab that everything closes/disappears?
    b. What computer operating system are you running your Photoshop Elements 10 on? What do your computer resources look like? Is your Photoshop Elements 12 issue "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now"?
    Lots more questions. But lots more details needed.

  • Visa Open and Close on every iteration of loop

    I have noticed that when you open the front panel of the Instrument I/O Assistant, the diagram starts with a visa session open, sets timeout property, writes, reads, parses data and ends with a visa session closed.  If I were to place this into a while loop the visa session would open and close on each iteration of the loop. 
    Is it common practice to open and close the visa session on each iteration?

    No you would not want to open and close that often. If you want to use the Instrument I/O assistant what I would do is configure it the way you want and then save it under another name so you can open the block diagram. Pull the VISA open and close outside of your loop.

  • Control valve that opens and closes linearly using DSC

    I have to create a control valve that opens and closes linearly.I want to view its variation in percentage wise in the graphical form which uses DSC module.

    Hi Gerardjoe,
    I'm not sure that I completely understand what you're trying to do. In the DSC modules, the valves (2D and 3D) are simply boolean indicators.
    One thing you could do, to see some sort of a percentage change, would be to have an indicator such as a vertical fill slide. Here, you would put a number between 0-100.
    Then, you could have a comparison, such that if this value was over, say, 60, then the boolean value would be true and the valve would turn on. Else, the value would be false and the valve would stay false.
    I hope that this answers your question; if I did not understand correctly, please do respond and clarify.

  • HT4623 Why is my iPad 2 randomly opening and closing apps? And why, at the same time, does the screen goes bigger than smaller repetitively?

    7.29.2013 - iPad2 begins to randomly open and close apps and also the screen changes from bigger to smaller repetitively when the apps are randomly opening and closing. Nothing occurred with the device to indicate why this started happening; it was not dropped, etc.

    If still problem:
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time, although i have already set it so (on a Macbook) (newest version)

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

    My iPhone camera will not open up. When I press on the icon it open and closes quickly. When I open it from my home screen it reboots my phone. What should I do?

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion
