Warning appears and disappears and beeps

Every 20 seconds or so, I hear the classic Mac soft warning beep and a dialogue box almost appears. I see the gray rectangle that is real small and get progressively bigger till it is the normal size but then it shrinks back to nothing. It's like when you want to do something but you can't because the file is being used by something else or whatever (that kind of warning symptoms, the box and sound) but I don't know what the problem is because the box shrinks away before anything appears inside it. I restarted, run antivirus, run techtool and restarted finder and quit all other apps but it still beeps. It is very annoying. What is going on?

Can you open Console and see if something is written here when that happens ?

HT5361 Just now accidentally deleted email account. No warning appears and was deleted. Mail was not back up ed. Does exist any way how for Undo of this delete operation (need to recover mails and contacts there)

I just accidnetally deleted email account and there wa sno warining so it went through and I lost all my emails. The email was not Back up. Is there any way how this account could be recovered?

If the account was an IMAP account your emails should re-appear if you recreate the email account. If the account was POP you hopefully have backup (TIme Machine?) you can restore the emails from.

FCP Audio cant hear parts and beeps

I loaded a sequence into the viewer and edited it to a new sequence to get ready for export. In several places red render line appeared and beeped during playback of the new created seq. tryed to render unsuccessfully. One note all audio but the narration track is 48. narr is 44. How many things are wrong?
mac pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Export the narration track out to AIFF 48Khz and bring it back in. Should be easy to line up and should take care of the render issue.
Other things to check.
In User Settings select a number of Real Time Audio tracks appropriate to your project.
Also, make sure your render settings are doing what you think they are. Go to SEQUENCE > RENDER ALL and place a check beside all the things you want to render when you use the RENDER ALL keys (OPTION R) Same goes for RENDER SELECTION.

Blackberry 10 blackhole in SMS: slow to appear and disappearing messages sent via sms

hi. i and my friends are z10 and q10 users. two of us are really heavy phone users because of our work. most of the time, we have to communicate with several people fast at the same time. we've noticed the following problems - 1) we've noticed that when we get to a point when several messages are coming in from the different messaging apps and it coincides to when we just sent a sms, said message literally disappears - it doesn't get received by the recipient, and neither does it appear in the conversation thread. when that starts to happen, whatever i type and send just goes nowhere. however, for some reason, when i highlight the message that i will send, it will go through and, i guess, "closes the blackhole" and messages get sent and are recorded again in the conversation thread. perhaps blackberry can fix things such that we won't have to lose messages to "blackholes" again 2) i've been using my q10 since 2nd week of june. i've noticed that over time, the messages i type in sms section seem to take longer and longer to appear in the screen. and when it appears is the only time when it starts to send the message, which happens faster. so if i close my phone (or even just the "chat" or conversation thread with my contact to open another conversation thread with another contact) before the text i typed appeared on the screen, it doesn't get sent until i open my phone or the said conversation thread again. this is very inconvenient especially when i'm in a hurry. now, the longest it's taken for the text to appear on the screen is around 10 seconds. i've tried to find ways to speed-up the appearance of the text but have been unsuccessful so far. i know it's not a network problem since such lag also happened when i was in other countries and used local prepaid accounts in the same phone. I hope blackberry can find tech people who can help fix these things. we really love blackberry and it would be such a shame to lose it.

Same issue here on my Q5. Same problem occured with the 10.1 os that come with my one month old Q5 and now that I have upgraded to 10.1, the same problem is still there. It takes time to appear and to disappear. 15-20 seconds. Just with SMS/MMS.
Also, the Calendar is a mess. It does not stop making mistakes such as appearing in wrong dates....
I had none of these issues with my old Curve 9300.

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
push it again, that the second panel disappears.

You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
TRUE to show or
hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
the VI name.

HT1267 My iPod player in my iPhone isn't working properly it will play for a few seconds then stop and also the volume level will appear then disappear what can I do to remedy this?

My iPod player within my iPhone isn't working properly when playing videos it will start then stop after a few seconds and also the sound bar appears then disappears, and when playing music no sound is coming out when I'm on a call I can hear everything properly and also on loud speaker! What can I do to remedy this? Please help!!!

If you haven't tried it yet, I'd eliminate memory issues first. Close all of the apps with the double tap on the home button method

How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear

How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear?
Thanks ahead of time for your help,
Doug

Hi Denes,
I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.

Arie.

"3265 du process" appears and disappears and occupies a lot of CPU System usage: what is that and how to remove that unknown process

Opening the utility "activity monitor", I see a process that appears and disappears, called 3265 "du" process. It occupies a lot of CPU % system (the red one in the mac activity monitor utility). Anyone knows what's that and how can I remove it?
Probably the same issue of this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1968751?start=0&tstart=0
But no idea about how to solve it!

BSD General Commands Manual
du -- display disk usage statistics
The du utility displays the file system block usage for each file argu-
     ment and for each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each direc-
     tory argument. If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy
     rooted in the current directory is displayed.
To see for yourself use Terminal program enter: man du
press enter (to see the manual for "du")

Mail message appearing and then quickly disappearing

I keep seeing alerts for email messages pop up in the top right corner of my screen. They disappear before I can even see who they are from. When I check my inbox, there's nothing. Nothing in junk mail or any other folder either.
I am getting email alerts for the emails that do end up in my inbox, but these alerts that appear and then quickly disappear are driving me nuts. There are a few forums I'm a part of and other services I use like eBay that I am not receiving emails from at all (except password reset types of emails).
My guess is that Mail is deciding that these emails are junk and filtering them, but I have no idea where they are going or how to stop this.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure this will work, but try disabling Mail alerts in Notifications, log out/in, and then set them back up.

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

Iphone 4s won't boot on and itunes doens't detect it when on battery. Plug it in and Apple logo appear then disappear, try to recover, but there's a 1602 error. Is it dead?

Its weird, when I plug it into wall AC, I was able to boot into the home screen, but there's wifi cant turn on. Plug out the phone turn off immediately. I tried to jailbreak it with snowbreeze because someone has the same problem with his iphone 4, but snowbreeze doens't work with iphone 4s.

Dialog box appears and disappears before I can read it... what is it?

I've been noticing a dialog box that appears and disappears in a fraction of a second, just enough to annoy me. It happens at random times, and have noticed it while working in various applications. I've checked Console and determined that this is the culprit. What is this!?

Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

3) upon waking computer from sleep the bluetooth doesn't pair with the keyboard or mouse (I usually just power them both off and then back on and this seems to work)
4) the dock disappears and reappears on its own even though "hide the dock" is not checked

Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them. They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent. They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover. The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free. If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store. For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.
