WebDav: some odd behaviour

I followed the tutorial at Tiger Vittles to set up one of my OS X machines to run as a webdav server. It went smoothly, and was easier than I expected, given I am not a pro or anything when it comes to computers. The amazing thing is it works. I can connect my PowerBook to it both on the local network and via the internet. The un-amazing thing, and probably expected (knowing me) is that it does not work as expected when connecting a Windows XP machine. It connects, mounts as a webfolder in Window's Network Places, however this is where the odd behaviour begins. Inside of the folder, along with the expected contents of that folder, there is a folder by the same name; open this and the contents of the folder are there, along with a folder with the same name. This can go on forever. I have searched high and low and have not been able to find a solution to this. This occurs only when connecting with Windows, otherwise with my PowerBook it works perfectly. I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. Additionally the Windows machine has connected to other WebDav folders without this issue. Finally, when there is a folder in a folder of the same name I am not able to map it as a network drive. Both the machine acting as the WebDav server and the Windows machine are running the most current versions of software.

Nokia 6233 v05.10 odd behaviour

Hello!
After thoroughly searching not only this board but the entire Internet, I found no answer to my question so I decided to register and ASK.
I need to know if any of you owners of a Nokia 6233 observed this odd behaviour of your phone - so please keep reading.
I purchased the phone 16 days ago. Being my first Nokia, I took time to exploit its every feature, therefore draining the battery quite quickly. I discharged and fully charged the battery at least 3 times in the first 3 days, without leaving it plugged-in overnight (as far as I know this is no longer necessary). The battery life time increased progressively until a maximum of three days of normal use, meaning moderate talking (under 20 minutes per day), little or no use of Java apps, camera, media players or GPRS/EDGE connection. The screen savers are off, power saver is on, sleep mode is on. Packet data connection - when needed and network mode is GSM only because I do not use 3G. All these should get me the best stand-by time possible, right? Well, they did, until...
I bought a new microSD card, 2.0 GB storage, made by SanDisk. The card works fine, I put my favorite music and video clips on it - all the stuff you do when you have enough space. Since then, the battery life decreased SUBSTANTIALLY to LESS THAN 24 HOURS. And there's more. The battery drains even if the phone is turned off, in roughly the same amount of time. I have never ever seen anything like this. Sometimes the battery is so low that the phone takes a few minutes before displaying the battery charging icon and, when started, it asks for hour/date settings.
So, I need to know if anybody else noticed battery life decrease with bigger memory card capacity, and what's to be done.

Have you tried using the in-box memory card(That came with the phone) again? There's something wrong with your phone and battery if the problem still occurs..

I recently had a kernel panic in which I think my hard drive only had so much space left after I ran a bunch of drivers I thought I needed. I uninstalled all and moved files. For some odd reason I'm not getting sound of of my hdtv/monitor.HELP?

I recently had a kernel panic in which I think my hard drive only had so much space left after I ran a bunch of drivers I thought I needed. I uninstalled all and moved files. For some odd reason I'm not getting sound of of my hdtv/monitor.HELP? I uninstalled all the drives and apps I download. I moived files either to trash if not needed, and others to other external drives. I went into disk utility and did a repair disk permission and verify disk. Clean out junk files. Now my hdtv/monitor does not give me any sound, nor does my mac mini. Can someone please tell me what to do?

What drivers?

'09 MBP with some odd screen anomalies

My MBP has some odd screen anomalies. They appear as small blotches of greyness and can only be seen clearly on a white background and when the backlight is bright. When viewed from a viewing angle almost parallel with the screen, one can clearly see the overall shape. They exist in an almost perfectly round ring around the center of the display with an average diameter of about 2.5 inches. The greyness is thickest on the top half of the ring. There is a distinct spot about half an inch above center and the lower semicircle is filled with random grey dots. It looks like, of all things, the Death Star if looked at straight on, or as if someone used the screen as a cupholder.
It doesn't look like image persistence or dead pixles. The anomaly does not move around or change colors, nor does it appear to get any better or worse with time.
I have no idea where it came from or why...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

do a pram reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 and then try verifying your icc color profiles with colorsync utility (verify and repair) found in your utlities folder in the applications folder.
This sounds hardware related though and you should take it in to an apple specialist. sounds like a ball hit it or someone punched it and the LCD is broken. can you still see it when you turn the screen/computer off?)

Odd behaviour appending to System.out PrintStream

I've run into some unexpected behaviour with the System.out PrintStream object. When I append characters to it I'm expecting the characters to be displayed on screen much like I'd expect the characters to be written to a file using a FileOutputStream. What seems to happen is that the characters are written to the PrintStream but the process continues on and on adding some unseen character (newline?). The following code generates the behaviour I"m talking about. The main method is a bit contrived but does the job. You'll likely have to increase your heap size to run this (-Xmx512m worked for me):

[Solved] Firefox 3 betas give me some weird behaviour with images

I understand that there will be problems with beta software, however I seem to have memory issues with the firefox 2 series, so I thought I'd give the beta packages a try. I'm using the firefox-nightly package from AUR (firefox3b4), and I'm getting some weird behaviour. The same behaviour can be seen in all firefox 3 beta builds, however. It's hard to explain the problem, so here's a screenshot:
Notice that the image appears twice, once in the tab, and once in the tab toolbar next to the title of the tab. It looks like an attempted preview gone terribly wrong. Upon closing the tab, the tab toolbar shrinks down to the normal size and all is well. This happens with most images up to a certain size. Any one else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions? This is very annoying and I would like anyone's input on the problem.

Wow! This issue was solved in #archlinux by Nuked. Apparently I had some funky bits in my .mozilla directory. Removing it solved the problem. Remember kids, IRC is your friend. Anyone else experiencing weird stuff with their Firefox install should give this solution a try.

Odd Behaviour with DVDs on IMac G5 20inch 1.8 GHz

Suddenly the Superdrive DVD/CD (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-825, Firmware DBN7) shows odd behaviour.
It still reads CDs. But when a DVD is introduced, it will start "DVD Player" automatically, but then there is no hint of the disk. Neither does it show on the desktop, nore would it play. DVD Player would not eject it, but the eject button on the keyboard would.
The DVD is ok, as it would play on my Powerbook G4 without problems.
Any idea what might be causing this? - I had just performed the "Pro update"! Thanks for your help!
iMac G5 20inch 1.8 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hve you checked to see whether a different DVD will play, Bernd?
You might want to try deleting com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist from your Home/Library/Preferences folder, restarting and then seeing if it works.
Cheers

Podcast exhibiting odd behaviour with bluetooth

Ever since updating to iOS6 / iPhone 5 i've been experiencing odd behaviour with music playback. Now that the Podcasts app is a requirement, i'm not sure if this is directly related to the Podcasts app or if it's an iOS 6 quirk.
My iPhone connects to my car's stereo head unit via bluetooth. When i start my car it automatically connects and music, phone calls, etc, are all forwarded to my car's speakers. When i would switch my car off, music would stop automatically and i'd get out of my car and go about my day.
Everything worked absolutely perfectly in iOS 5 with the 4S.
The issue now with iOS6/iP5 is that when i switch off my car and use Siri or make a phone call, after i stop using Siri or if i end my call, the Podcasts app automatically resumes playback of what ever i was listening to when i switched my car off... Essentially it blasts music at me through the internal iPhone speaker for absolutely no reason.
Here is a step by step,
1. Start car
2. Play music
3. Turn off car
4. Music automatically stops
5. (while at the office, away from my car) Use siri or make a phone call
6. When i end the call or stop using Siri, music automatically resumes via the iPhone internal speaker
Is there any way to fix this?? It's getting quite annoying to have my iPhone blast me with music in fairly inappropriate situations.

Disregard, there is a thread about it here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4346946?tstart=0
Can't see any way of deleting my thread unfortunately.

Odd behaviour - Select with Submit

Hi,
I have some strange behaviour to report, more as a warning than anything else. Beware of impatient users of your HTML DB application!!
Let me try and describe a strange scenario that has been occuring with our application.
The piece of interest is that we have a form that creates a record in a database table.
The user has to choose a STATUS for this record - either Implemented or Unimplemented.
This is a select list with submit so that context-specific fields can be shown depending on the status value.
e.g. if Implemented they have to enter an Actual Implementation Date
or if Unimplemented they enter a Planned Implementation Date.
Also, if its implemented, the "Implemented By" field is displayed (its a "Display as Text (saves state)" item)
This field is defined to have a default value of &APP_USER.
There is an After Submit Computation to set the field to null if the STATUS != 'IMPLEMENTED'
In the majority of cases this all works fine.
However, please follow this carefuly:
1) The user selects Unimplemented as the STATUS.
2) The user changes their mind and selects "Implemented"...BUT...before the screen can be refreshed they press the SAVE button!!
3) At this point they see an error message as they haven't filled in the Actual Implementation Date which has a validation check. However, the "Implemented By" field is now null! This means the status was still "Unimplemented" when the form was submitted, but is "Implemented" at the point of re-drawing the screen.
4) The user now enters the Actual Implementation date and hits the SAVE button. The record is created, but the value for the "Implemented By" field is null which is incorrect.
This is a warning to make sure you consider that users might try do do something like this. We ended up coding an additional After Submit Computation to explicitly set that field to the user name if the status was Implemented.
Jon.

I will try changing the SELECT with a Popup and do it as mentioned in this document:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/how_to_create_custom_popups.html
Not sure if we can do this for a Tabular form ?

Odd behaviour of "+" operator in numbers 09

Hello there,
One of the annoying "features" of numbers 08 was that a reference to an empty cell would always show up as a zero - this has been the topic of many posts in the past, and if Apple engineers don't know it by now, they must be living on Mars. Using numbers for accounting purposes, this "zero fill" of cells didn't stand nice and was unacceptable. I worked around this problem by pre-filling all cells with an empty quote formula (="") (instead of using the not-so-easy solution "IF(NOT(ISBLANK(..."). Of course, this filled up all cells in the entire spreadsheet with a small formula, but it worked fine and solved the issue - and I am having 500+ tables and 100+ sheets in my spreadsheet. Now however, in numbers 09, the "+" operator doesn't like these empty quotes, and all formulas involving the operator and an empty quote cell yield an error!! This makes my 79€ recent upgrade to numbers 09 completely useless. And frankly, I am astonished that Apple designers didn't notice this!
Here is an example:
Cell A1 contains =""
Cell A2 contains 3
In numbers 08, the formula =A1+A2 yields 3
In numbers 09 however the same formula yields an error!!
(and yes, all cells are formatted as numbers)
As far as I now by experimenting a little bit, the only way around is a replacement of the formula =A1+A2 by =SUM(A1;A2), which oddly enough does not give an error!
Or does anyone else have a better solution?
Am I perhaps missing a simple checkbox somewhere, at some place, hidden in some menu, that says
"Check me for numbers 08 + operator behaviour"
(I don't really expect that one, seriously!)
Regards,
Shane

As I already wrote in an other thread,
treating an empty cell as zero is correct.
treating a cell containing an empty string was accepted by Numbers '08 but was not conceptually satisfying.
So, even if I am annoyed by the change, I understand that the authors decided to the program's behavior.
I described a workaround based on the IF statement but from my point of view, the use of SUM is a better one because it will be kept if we save as iWork'08.
About this feature, I discovered an odd behavior.
You all know that I make a huge use of the short references.
=B+C for instance.
The export tool is unaware of that and uses the complete references:
=B12+C12
=B13+C13
what a pity

Can anyone explain the odd behaviour of the CVI Operator Interface?

This is probably really related to CVI in general, but I think people should be aware of this behaviour. If tracing is enabled and a program executing, moving the mouse cursor over the Menu bar area of the Operator Interface program increases the execution of the test program dramatically. Anywhere else slows it down! Could this have any effect during critical test runs? Is there a way to force the fast execution. (i.e. to disable whatever message processing is going on when the mouse cursor is over the rest of the window?)

Brian,
You did not mention what is the CVI operator interface that you are using. In the Simple CVI OI, which is located at \Examples\OperatorInterfaces, the behavior you mentioned may occur.
It is mainly because it uses a CVI timer to poll UIMessages, and the Timer Control runs in the same thread as the User Interface (CVI Panels). Because they both run in the same thread, when you move your mouse Windows handles the mouse move and repaint any window if necessary. While doing this, it stops all the other tasks that is running in the same thread, which means, the timer stops to tick and UIMessages are not handled for some time. In addition, the TestStand Engine executes synchronously with UIMessage handling, so if msg
s are not handled the Engine pauses the execution.
Finally, there is an example that ships with CVI under
\Samples\Toolbox\AsyncDem.prj that shows how to use asynchronous timers. In other words, a timer that runs in a different thread different than User Interface. I also modified the Simple CVI OI to use this asynchronous timer, check the attached zip file.

System Preferences can't set date and time and other odd behaviour

I have a 2008 Macbook Air, which is beginning to show signs of age, but now appears to have taken on a terminal problem. I can't set the date and time in the system preferences, even when connected to the internet - the pane just comes up as faded out and I am unable to do anything. The problem started after I accidentally allowed the battery to run down without having shut down the computer and it automatically assumed a date of 1 Jan 2001. I am unable to perform any updates on the machine until the issue is resolved, according to software update.
Other strange things that have happened are that the trackpad no longer responds to the 'tap to click' function or 'two finger' click. In system preferences, I cannot edit energy saver, network (advanced) or account settings - attempting to do so brings up more faded panels or an error message after failure to load.
Has anyone seen similiar behaviour on their mac or have suggestions as how I might resolve the problem?
Thanks!

If this is recent, what has changed since the last time D&T worked correctly?
I see that your Question has languished for some period of time without response. You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to " Using iPhone " where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.

Odd behaviour in Graphics2D.drawImage - infinite loop?

Hi,
I have the following code inside an overriden paintComponent (JPanel):
g2.drawImage(fc.getImage(),(int)fc.getSignificantPoint().getX(),
                                (int)fc.getSignificantPoint().getY(), vioPanel);fc is just an object that is a wrapper for an image and vioPanel is the JPanel class that has been overriden (it's not this because the drawing on g2 is done outside the jpanel class)
I'm getting some really strange behaviour that i can't explain: when the images are drawn i noticed they were flashing. so i put a system.out.println into the paintComponent method and it seems that calling the g2.drawImage method is causing the panel to be repainted constantly as if it is stuck in an infinite loop. Has anyone else experienced this? if so, do you know the solution?
If it helps, if you replace the vioPanel variable with new JPanel() the looping stops.
Cheers,
jj

hi,
VioPanel is a simple class that overrides JPanel with some extra functionality. Essentially tho, it overrides the paintComponent method as shown below and calls a method of a different object that draws the shapes and images. I tried putting all the code in that method into paintComponent (i.e. classic overriding of paintComponent), but still get the same problem.
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        super.paintComponent(g);
        dm.fireGraphics2DSequence();
    }The fireGraphics2DSequence method does all the drawing:
public void fireGraphics2DSequence()
        Graphics2D g2 = getPanelGraphics();
        g2.scale(magniFactor, magniFactor);
        //separate entities out
        ArrayList features = getFeatures();
        ArrayList lines = getLines();
        //draw map entities (lines and hubs first)
        for(int i = 0; i < lines.size(); i++)
            //draws shapes, which works fine
        //draw nodes
        g2.setColor(Color.black);
        for(int i = 0; i < features.size(); i++)
            FeatureCircle fc = (FeatureCircle)features.get(i);
            if (fc.isTagged()) continue;
            g2.drawImage(fc.getImage(),(int)fc.getSignificantPoint().getX(),
                                (int)fc.getSignificantPoint().getY(), vioPanel);
            //System.out.println("drawing "+i);
            if(entLabels) g2.drawString(fc.getName(),(float)fc.getSignificantPoint().getX(),
                                       (float)fc.getSignificantPoint().getY());
    }

ADF Table refresh odd behaviour: is it a bug?

Hi,
I am using JDev 11.1.2.3.0.
I found a strange behaviour of ADF table, that looks like a bug.
I am using the following scenario:
1). I have a page with a table on it. The table displays the VO content and all it's columns are filterable.
2). There is another more complex filter with one parameter. The filter is always applied in addition to all existing filters and is implemented in VO implementation class by overriding the buildWhereClause() method. The parameter value is stored in the VO as a property, and the property setter is exposed via client interface.
3). The filter parameter value is specified using Select One Choice component, the value is stored in the pageFlowScope variable (AutoSubmit=true).
4). The filter parameter setter is binded in the PageDef file as a method action and obtains the value from the corresponding pageFlowScope variable. When user press a button, the filter should be applied. The button has PartialSubmit=true, the table has a reference to the button in the PartialTriggers.
Here is some code:
// MyViewObjectImpl code fragment
private String filter;
public String getFilter() {
return filter;
public void setFilter(String filter) {
boolean valueChanged = true;
if (this.filter != null && filter != null) {
valueChanged = !this.filter.equals(filter);
this.filter = filter;
if (valueChanged) {
clearCache();
// Backing bean code fragment
private RichTable table;
public void setTable(RichTable table) {
this.table = table;
public RichTable getTable() {
return table;
public String onApplyFilter() {
BindingContainer bc = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding op = bc.getOperationBinding("setFilter");
op.execute();
FilterableQueryDescriptor fm = (FilterableQueryDescriptor)table.getFilterModel();
table.queueEvent(new QueryEvent(table, fm));
return null;
All works fine except for one thing: the 26-th row of the table always remains from the previous filter value. More precisely, this number equals to iterator RangeSize+1.
Is this my fault or a bug?
Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot about the detailed instructions.
1). Setup database connection to match the real DB server address, username and password.
2). Run the ViewController project.
3). Choose character 'a' in the filter and push "Apply". This will give the countries, ending with the letter a.
4). Change filter to 'e' and push "Apply". This should give the countries, ending with the letter e, but in fact the second row is 'Argentina' (the first row from the previous query). Pressing the button again produces correct results.
Thanks.
