Weird thing going on with Expose and Dock

Weird things have been going on with my Macbook Pro. It's been like this for several months and it's very annoying. What happened was that at some point during using computer, the dock and the expose will go on doing strange stuff together, for the dock, it's the magnification not working properly, when i move my mouse over any application icon, the magnification didn't come up, but if I click on it it will, however, after having clicked on the icon it will not doing the jump motion like it usually does, what it does is that it's going to stay being magnified, even if i point the mouse elsewhere. That's the dock. The problem with the expose is with the all window view, where when i turn it on everything seems to be normal, but if i move my mouse around, anywhere, each window that has been shown in the "all window" view will keep flashing until i dont move my mouse again. And that's the expose problem. Two other problems that occur along with the annoying issue mentioned earlier is that say when you click on the apple icon on the top, usually when you move down along there will be a blue stripe as a background to the words like "About this mac", "System preferences" etc, but when the problem occurs it will not do that. And if you have any window opened that has a scroll for horizontally, it'll keep forcing me to the right hand side of the bar, even if i drag it to the left it'll still go straight to the right hand side automatically. These are the problems that log-out-then-log-in won't resolve, needs to be restarted, i cannot work under this kind of situation, and it's getting really frustrating although i really like my mac still. I'm not sure when it started to do this, one time i thought maybe an application like p2p may disrupt the system so one time i only had calendar, itunes working still it happened again. I have a macbook pro A1226, has been updated to 10.5 and went through all the software update already... still... Does anyone have have the similar or maybe exact same problem as I do here? Please let me know. If you know how to fix it even better, I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

Weird things going on with Iphone

I updated to the most recent software the other day, it may be coincidence but now strange things have started to occur. Now it automaticlally goes into voice and sometimes starts to call people, it also will not charge and the home button barely works, it is now completely dead and will not recharge.

You're welcome.
I also got the double banner, and the website looks different and how it is designed when accessed with Safari on my Mac. Not sure why it is doubled with some iPhones and not others.

Weird thing going on with fresh KDE install

It looks like I am getting X11 and KDE mixed up. Don't really know what I am looking at but I can't close these windows or do much with them. I was going to upload a picture, but I can't do that without rebooting. Will be back in 3 minutes for screenshot. Here's the href http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php? … vi7vymcran

Disregard, I had to edit inittabs. Works amazing!

Weird things going on with my contacts. Anyone else???

My phone lost almost all internet and phone signal after the last update. I took it in the the local apple store and they traded me a new phone for my old one. New phone still had 1.1.2 on it. Took it home, downloaded the new itunes, and did the sync to get 1.1.3.
After the sync, none of my contacts or calendar events showed up on my phone. My music and pictures were on it, but that's it. After syncing 10 or so more times over the weekend, and doing a restore, the calendar events showed back up on the phone. (By this time I had already reentered the contacts)
My question: Where is this info stored on my computer when I sync my phone? I've looked in outlook, nothing there. They MUST be somewhere, but I have no idea where to look, incase this ever happens again. I've been on the phone with Apple Care all weekend and no one I've talked with has been able to help.
HELP!!!!

The calendar data will only sync from outlook 2003 or 2007 on a windows computer.
If you do not have any calendar data in outlook it will not sync to the iphone.
However, if you had calendar data on your previous iphone, when you connect it to the computer, itunes does an automatic backup. So, if you did a restore, then restored from a backup of the previous iphone, this would have put the calendar data from the previous iphone onto the new iphone.
As a precaution, I would really think about syncing your iphone with outlook if you have calendar data on the iphone. This way you can back your contacts and calendars to outlook. As long as you are running outlook 2003 or 2007.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Hope this helps.

Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 Version 185673

Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 (v185673).
I've just completed a 1.5hr edit in FCP X (v10.0.1) and chose to send it to compressor so I can encode my MPEG-2 files.
It takes approximately 5min for compressor to open and show the job to start with!
I then drag the MPEG-2 preset and click on it, the spinning ball comes up and takes approximately 10min before compressor reacts...!
Wondering if anyone else is having the same experiencing?

Weird stuff going on with my iPhone 4: losing settings, "set up your phone"

I've had the iPhone since the 3G unit including the 3GS. I've had my iPhone 4 since 6/24 and all of a sudden in the last couple of days, I've been experiencing some weirdness I have never seen before in my iPhones.
A couple of days ago, I noticed that the battery percent meter was simply turned off. I did NOT turn it off. It was just simply off now.
Today, I synced my iPhone to iTunes 9.2 at home and the sync went fine. I realized right after the sync that I had purchased some music and didn't "Transfer purchases" (don't ya just hate remembering you forgot to do something just AFTER you unplug your iPhone! ).
Anyway, I unplugged and plugged it back in. iTunes now showed a "Set Up Your Phone" screen and offered to restore a backup. Huh?! The weird thing is that the name of my iPhone 4 showed up correct in the device list AND iTunes was wanting to restore a backup of the same name.
sigh
I rebooted my Windows 7 64-bit PC and tried it all again. Same results. I then thought, I wonder if rebooting the iPhone 4 will fix the issue. I tried that. Same results.
sigh
Okay, I guess I'll let it restore the backup. I just went through that (takes about 7 minutes) and things are great now.
Is that weird or what?! Never seen anything like that before. Is my iPhone 4 going bad?
Weird. Weird. Weird.

Problem with laptop and docking station

Hello.
We have two laptops with two docking station. Both laptops w/ docking have the same problem:
When the computer is turned off, and its still connected to the docking station, the fan in the computer start to run really fast. The fan goes on for a good while. This is making alot of noise, which can be annoying for the person using the office. When the computer is on, the fan runs at normal speed. If you disconnect the computer from the docking station, the fan stops immediately. Any ideas?
1. Product Name and Number
HP ProBook 6460b
Docking Station VB043AA
2. Operating System installed
Windows XP 32-bit
3. Error message
No error message.
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
No recent changes.
Thanks in advance.

It is possible the notebook is not completing the shutdown in full when docked.
Make sure the BIOS is the most recent version.
Here is the most recent one to try should you need it.
Other than that, I am afraid I do not have much else for this. I did some research, but I didn't really find anything that was exactly like this. I found scenarios where the fan would run at full speed when docked, but this happened whether the notebook was booted or not. You can try your luck in the business support forums to see if they may have something that is a little more helpful.

Macbook Pro Headphone Jack, a very strange thing going on with it? help

Hello,
My Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2011 has had this very annoying small issue for over a year with the headphone jack. Sound only plays through the headphone jack as per normal when i restart the laptop, but once i remove the headphones and plug them back in sound isn't going through the headphone, it's going through the speakers as if headphones aren't plugged in, to have it working as normal i have to restart the laptop again.
Is this a hardware or software issue?
Please help me resolve this..
Thanks,
Jacob

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Since this is a brand new MBP under warranty, the best thing to do is to contact Apple and tell them about your difficulties. If you have access to an Apple Store, you might want to bring your Mac in and show them what it is doing. This does not sound at all normal, and it's very possible that you have hardware issues involved. If so, you should be eligible for a repair under warranty or possibly even a replacement if you are still in the first 2 weeks of ownership.
There is a long thread which may be relevant:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12542170
It's probably too long to read the whole thing, but you might browse the posted images and see if this looks like your problem.
Good luck!

Something SUPER weird is going on with my videos on iTunes

Okay, here's what's going on.
I have a bunch of episodes from the Stargate TV shows, and like I'll sync my iPod like normal but it keeps on not syncing a few of them...gradually I'll end up having NONE of them on there. I used to have ALL of my episodes on my iPod but they gradually started not making it to my iPod one by one...onwards until my posting this topic. Like they all have that little check-marky box checked by them saying that they are to be synced, but then they never make it onto my iPod. They are all still in tact within my iTunes library, and everything that is needed for them to be synced properly. I don't understand exactly why this is happening, exactly what the heck is indeed happening, and the how do I fix this part at all!!
Another problem I have had with my iPod is that it will randomly pause on whatever I am listening to, and then it will have sort-of pausing "fits" where it pauses every two seconds. I have tried updating the iPod software but that did absolutely ZIPPIOSO
Can someone please help me here? I'm absolutely desperate to get my episodes back onto my iPod, and to have the dumb thing stop pausing on me all the time.

Have you tried in order:
- Resetting the iPod
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod, first from backup and then if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.

Weird Slow motion effect with Motion4 and FCP7.

Hi everyone,
I was testing a simple slow motion clip when I encountered a weird issue with it.
Basically the clip of a person running in a room where there is a bookshelf and the weird effect is that it looks like there is an "halo" around the person and within such "overlap" everything on that path looks "melted/vibrant" distorted.
To better clarify the issue I uploaded a sample clip here:
http://www.vimeo.com/5891093
After doing some tests I've found a workaround to this. So the sample clip shows the problem and the portion without any problem.
The clip was shot in XDCAM EX 720p 25fps.
After ingesting and importing the MOV file into Motion I had exported the slowed clip out of Motion using the same codec XDCAM EX 720p VBR.
When I imported that MOV into FCP I got that weird effect on both canvas and final export to H.264.
As second test, instead of using the export from Motion, I decided to use the Motion project in the FCP timeline. Once rendered (as the motn clip was in the Motion Codec Decompression) as XDCAM the same issue appeared on both the canvas and final export to H.264.
At this point the strange thing was that if I opened the Motion project in the viewer it was working perfectly fine.
I then decided to export within FCP the Motion project to XDCAM 720p before instantiating it in the timeline.
So did that and I got a 720p clip that I imported in the timeline without any rendering needs.
With that clip the canvas was playing ok and so was the final export to H.264.
As the initial work in Motion 4 was ok and I didn't see any issue, I thought this might be some sort of FCP 7 issue (or some bad settings that I have on my system).
Anyway I've found my work around and just decided to share here just in case someone else could understand the behind the scene of this.
During these tests I have tried to place the Motion project on different timelines (in ProRes 422, ProRes 444) just to see whether the issue was due to a combination of factors including the XDCAM codec, but didn't fix the problem.
Cheers,
Armando.

Just for the record, I made another test with a different material and now I start thinking it could be a Motion4 weird behavior than an FCP7 issue.
I have shot another clip this time with an in camera slow motion (shot @60fps in XDCAM EX 720p 25pfs format), then applied to Motion4 for another 50% optical flow time remapping.
This time after checking well at Motion results, I can see the issue in the bookshelf area with vibrant/melting spots.
After importing the Motion project into FCP and then exported as self contained MOV in XDCAM EX 720p, the issue is gone as in the other tests.
I went back to the previous tests I made and checked better in Motion; the problem was slightly noticeable even there in one test.
So I guess it is Motion producing that weird output and not FCP, which seems btw fixing the issue.
Regards,
Armando.

Anyone having issues with Expose and Google Chrome?

Here is what's happening:
This only happens when Chrome is opened, the windows display oddly when in Expose.
For example, when two non Google Chrome applications are open, it show one on top and one on the bottom. When Chrome is open, (and only a total of two applications open) it shows one window to the right, another in the middle, and the left is a large blank area.
The same thing happens with three applications. When Chrome is open, the windows are top left, top right, and bottom right. When close, it's two at the top and one in the middle at the bottom. This is very odd behavior and I can replicate it on two machines very easily.
Once I quit Chrome, everything works fine again.

It looks fine to me. Here are three apps (Firefox, Chrome, System Preferences) running with a Time Machine backup in progress...
Here's Time Machine, Chrome and NetNewsWire...
And Time Machine, Firefox and NetNewsWire...

TP T60 with VISTA and dock doesn't work with DVI

Hi, at the first excuse my English.
I am beginner ]:->
I have Lenovo T60 with vista. I have advance dock from lenovo. DVI on dock doesn't work correctly. External display is distort, noisy.
After start of Vista is all right. But when I use blank white page monitor switch off and on in a circle. Monitor is in good order. Advence is in good order. (I change it 3 times).
Thank you for help or inspiration how to find a solution.

ok, i think i understand you now. you have an advance dock with a third-party PCI graphics card and can't get it to work under vista. my best recommendation is to try different drivers. i am not 100% positive but your PCI card might have to have the same GPU as your T61 to be compatible. perhaps someone else with more experience on this can help.

STILL NOT SOLVED. So...What Is Going On With Java And How Do I Update It?

So...I checked my plugins this morning, and it said both my Java platform and my Java Deployment Toolkit needed updating. However, I click Update, and the link does not lead me to a download page. Plus, when I try to verify my Java version on the Java page, it says that I have the recommended Java installed (and so do other sites that run on Java). How do I update these things so that everything is up to date?

The JDK version is for Developers, you want the '''JRE''' version. The Development Toolkit plugin comes with both versions, but that plugin is really only needed by people developing for Java.
As far as '''if''' you should update right now, my answer is '''NO'''. From what I am reading the U10 version is messed up and is not installing the Firefox required U10 plugin. Not sure if Oracle didn't update it for Firefox, or if some users are missing the registry key needed for Firefox to locate the new plugin.

Conky with Gnome3 and dock plugin

Hi,
This is how my Conky looks like in Gnome3 with Gnome-Shell. I am using following preferences:
own_window_class Conky
own_window yes
own_window_type conky
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
While using dock, when application is maximized there is still a part of desktop background visible (the part of desktop above the Firefox icon on my screenshot). What I want to achieve is to use this spare space for conky.
I tried following configurations:
# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
alignment top_left
# Gap between borders of screen and text
gap_x 1500
and:
# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
alignment top_right
# Gap between borders of screen and text
gap_x -200
unfortunatelly none of above were working. Conky stays as shown on screenshot (even if I change the "gap_x" value to "2000" or "-500"). Any ideas how to move conky 50 pixels right?

Try commenting out own_window_hints.
When I moved to GNOME 3, I experienced the same problem, although my grip was the inability to use ctrl+alt+up/down if I stayed on an empty desktop with conky running.
