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

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 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.

HT5149 I'm having some weird things go on with installing FInal cut in app store the icon has turned in a question mark and app store keeps freazing

this is the issue I am having it keeps creashing, I have older mac pro 2x 2.8 quad-core, 24 gig ram 2.5TB storage on system drive, so should be no issues there, I updated to Mavricks just so I could get this update, I need for 5k redcore epic edit. I have gone through and tried deleating the previous version, with all the application support files and cache as per guide, Its really frustrating.

I guess you have tryed to log out and then log in again? Could help to repair permision and restart the computer. You are in the purchases section since you have deleted FCPX ?

[SOLVED]Some issues with fresh arch install.

I freshly installed arch after a pretty long period of time of using other distributions and forgot how many issues I have to deal with when using it.
Alsamixer does not detect my headphones when i plug them in...(does not mute / unmute automatically speakers / headphones)
And another issue with the xorg server i think, I have a notebook and after every reboot i have to look up after touchpad with xinput --list then --setprop <id>. How can I make it permanent? It's annoying.

Add a command to toggle the auto-mute with the same key, perhaps?
Anyway, that command in my i3 set up does not effect the auto-mute mode so there may be something else going on in your system.
Ooops -- my mistake, my system does that as well...
Maybe something to do with pulseaudio -- I didn't have pulseaudio when I used i3 and I didn't notice that problem then.
EDIT: It might be wise to open a fresh thread for this specific problem -- be sure to use a descriptive title to get the attention of the sound experts (not me!).

Sell MacBook Pro with fresh Mavericks install

Hello everyone
About 5 years ago I got my first Mac, a MBP late 2008. A few weeks ago I got a new one and have decided to give the old one to some family in England (I live in Denmark myself). So I deleted the data on the harddrive (7 pases cause why not) and booted into the recovery mode in order to reinstall Mavericks.
So I needed an Apple ID in order to do so. No problem, the family gave me theirs but the installer complained about the country of the ID and hence the request couldn't be completed. Oh well, I tried again in order to somehow get a clue on what's going on.
Now I'm met with a "This Apple ID has not purchased Lion". The original OS on the machine was Leopard, but I upgraded to Snow Leopard right away so I still have that original disk. However, the CD-drive is not working (whenever any kind of disk is inserted it's ejected after a few secs. That's a problem that's 3 years old or so, and I didn't bother to fix it because I've never used it and the warranty had expired) so I can't just install a fresh copy of that.
I can't use my own Apple ID and install Mavericks, because they can't change it.
I can't use the original install DVD and install an old version of OS X (not to mention that they'd have to pay for all updates up to Mavericks).
Mavericks itself is a free install, so I don't quite get why this has to be such a hassle.
I'm considering using an USB-drive to install a copy of Mavericks. I'd download the installer by logging into the App Store with their Apple ID and then dd the file into a generic flash drive.
Any ideas to make this easier?
TL;DR how to change ownership of MacBook Pro including fresh install of Mavericks, can't use the original installation DVD.

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 things: iChat works with 2 firewalls closed?

Well, I understand this is not exactly the most common question here: anyway, for me the thing is strange. I bought today an iSight, and the test with the autoresponders (appleu3test01 etc.) works even when the firewall of my router (netgear DG834G) AND the one of Mac OS X are both switched on and well closed... Only if I stop the UDP traffic in the Tiger firewall I cannot see the video.
Is that possible/normal?
Anyway, I'd like to test my iChat for real now, before trying to convince my brother to install AIM on his WinXP machine: so, if someone is here and available for testing...
thanks
lorenzo

That's a list of people willing to test. I'm one of them, but my camera is in another state at the moment - I'll return there Sunday night, but in the meantime, audio-chatting and one-way video chats are fine by me. My screenname is on 24/7 and auto-accepts. In addition, I don't monitor it, so any IM's sent will just be closed anyway.

IPhoto didn't install with fresh Leopard install. How to install?

I'm afraid I might have to re-install the entire OS, but before I go there, is there any way to simply install iPhoto on its own?
I've also got Pacifist installed to try to find just the iPhoto package but I don't see it on the disk in anything other than resource files.
Thanks in advance!

iPhoto is not included with OS upgrades - you need to install from the restore disks that came with your computer or the iPhoto upgrade that you purchased if you have upgraded previously - use a custom install - install bundled software only option - <a href-"http://www.macworld.com/article/132243/2008/02/pacifist.html"> see this MacWorld article for additional information

Weird things going on in my phone?

My phone is an iphone 5s with IOS 8.1.2
When I first unlocked my iPhone 5s, all that appeared was my walla paper and the grey bar at the bottom. Except, there were no apps. Can someone please tell me whats going on? I tried restarting it but that didnt help. I also jail broke my iPhone about 30 minutes before using TaiG. Would that have anything to do with it?

Seriously? Of course that has something to do with it.
It's also the reason you can't get help here.
Sorry you borked your phone. Maybe some of your jailbreaking buddies can help you out.

What is going on with Safari 4 install!!!!!!!

I have a windows Vista machine...my apple updater comes up that i need to install safari 4 so i click install 1 item. It then says that it is installed successfully and checks for updates and finds it again. I have "Installed Safari 4 successfully" about a dozen or so time. Please HELP!!!
Thanks

I am having similar issues --- but only on 1 of the 3 Win XP Pro workstations I use. The two at work (Lenovo Desktop and Lenovo T61 Laptop) have no issues with Safari -- yet. My HP workstation in my home office was fine with Safari until the past weekend; now I always get the Safari Failed To Open Page message, no matter what I do. I've cleared cache, deleted cookies, verified no firewall issues, and even uninstalled/reinstalled Safari, but to no avail. Also, the Lenovo T61 works fine in my home network, so this is not a service provider issue. And IE 7 works as well in my home environment. This is definitely a Safari 4 issue, but it must be like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack. Perhaps that's why Apple hasn't, so far as I can tell, responded...
Well, so much for the hype on Safari 4... the vaporware looks good but will ultimately only frustrate those looking for a better browser. IE 7 is still slow.... but it works.
