Weird thing happening...

Hello,
I just got a new 8GB Ipod nano, and sometimes when I'm listening to music something strange happens. My Ipod will just randomly shut off, then turn itself back on again. I don't click anything unusal, I'm usually just in the middle of a song when it happens.
Also when I go to turn off my Ipod, I used to just hold down the play button on my Ipod mini and it would turn off, but now with the nano, I have to hold down the play buttom 3 times before it stops playing music and turns off. Any idea why these things are happening, or how to fix it?

Have you been through these basic troubleshooting steps?

MacBook won't turn on 98% of the time, help! Very weird things happening!

Hi there, any advice you have for me would me much appreciated. What happened with my Macbook is all very strange.
So, the morning before last, I was on my Macbook (which I bought in 2006 so it's on the older side, but otherwise worked great) and it was running low on battery. I was late for work so didn't plug it in before leaving. I left it open. However I have no roomates, pets, etc.
When I get home that evening, I plugged in the powercord and it wouldn't turn on. After trying a million different things, like taking the battery out, reseting the PRAM, etc, there were a few times where I got it to turn on, went through the log on screen, and was able to use my computer like normal for about 5 minutes or so, and then it would just shut off.
There were also many times when I would pres the power button and the screen would flash like it was about to turn on, and then it would make the noise that the computer makes when you're typically on 0% battery and it shuts down. Later in the night, when the computer was closed but plugged into the power outlet, it was by itself (meaning I wasn't pressing anything) making the noise that it was restarting. It made that noise about every 30 seconds for a few minutes. Weird.
It was also doing inconsistent things re: the sleep light. At times it was on, including when the computer was closed, and sometimes it would go from on to off. Also, the battery/charing was doing weird things. The few times I was able to get past the log in screen it showed that it was at 0%, even though the light on the adapter was green and it had been plugged in for a long time. Another time the battery icon had an X through it. I have 2 different batteries and neither one of them seemed to make a difference.
Also, yesterday I brought my computer into the Apple store and they put in a battery that was charged and it didn't seem to make a difference either. One more weird thing: when I did get the computer on in the spotlight bar it said it was indexing??
Anyways, I'm just confused/upset, etc. because I literally did nothing to the computer. I didn't drop it/spill on it, etc. I'm also frustrated because the guy at the genius bar litteraly only spent like 5 minutes looking at before he said i was SOL. He said it was the "main board" that was the problem. One of the things like I'm just confused by is if the main board really does need to be replaced, then how was I able to get the computer on and working those few times???
Sorrry this is so long, any help would be awesome!! I just don't have the money to buy a new computer, and I'm not sure it will be worth it for me to pay $300 to have it fixed when my computer's already pretty old and other things haven't been working for awhile (like my disc drive, camera). THANK YOU!!!

EmadJamal,
the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?

Weird things happen in Edit view...

Some (but NOT all)of my photos do weird things when you Double-Click them to get into Edit view. Most of my photos zoom in to their appropriate sizes and are viewed 'normally', however, other photos initially come up in their normal zoomed size then in a second of two, zoom in again several times larger than they should be, and the colors will pop your eyes out, like a reverse negative or something and the photos gets all 'chunky' or 'blocky'. Fortunately, only a small number of my photos zoom in wildly like this.
Anyone seen this, have a clue what causes it and most importantly, can it be fixed to STOP doing this?
Thanks

Well, I used to see this problem way back in the v7 days of the purple app. It's not an FCP exclusive problem, though I have seen it happen one time with Final Cut.
Glad to help you solve this one, Jamie. You can help others who come to this thread later, by marking the Helpful & Solved posts in the thread. That way, when others are searching for solutions to this problem, they can scan down quickly and easily to those posts, and see the yellow and green stars.
I've posted this request on a number of threads, both those I've helped or solved, and those I had no helpful contributions for. I'm just trying to help make the new forum as usable as ut can be.

Weird thing happening with my iCal

A weird thing is happening with my iCal, I don't know if it's a bug... Today I was printing the months of September and October with all my appointments, and when I was checking October I have noticed that 14th was printed as Saturday and as Sunday too, and 15th became Monday, 16th became Tuesday, and so on.
But in my computer screen the calendar was correct: 14 Saturday, 15 Sunday, 16 Monday, etc.
I cannot figure out what could be happening and how to solve this.
Any idea?
Any help will be appreciated.
PowerMac G4 1.5 AGP Graphics Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1 GB RAM

Today a friend of mine said that he had a similar problem with iCal when printing the month of October, and that he fixed this by changing the Time and Zone setting in System Preferences. When he changed the setting from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Buenos Aires, Argentina (the both have the same time zone) the problem was solved.
Today I did this and my problem dissapeared too. But I would like to know why is this happening.

Weird things happening with volume

When I have my headphones in and I'm listening to music the volume keeps turning itself up to its max, I then really struggle to turn it down using the volume buttons on the side of the phone, its like I am fighting it as it keeps trying to increase (weird I know).
Not only that, you know when you increase the volume and the ringer symbol appears and you can move the volume up and down? This keeps appearing on its own and it won't go until I decrease the volume, sometimes when I've done it the same thing happens with the music volume I'm fighting it and it keeps increasing!
I've tried a reset and updated software etc, I've even changed the case the phone is in but nothing has fixed it.

Yes. YES.
I tought I was the only one going mad. I totally agree with you.
The output level is way too high. This also results in a poor resolution in the lower range of the output level, resulting in (quantization) noise. Very annoying.
The only advantage of this powerful headphones output is that the level on max output is comparable to line level, so when you plug it into an amplifier/receiver, the level is comparable to any other line level source.
Let's hope it is a software/driver issue which can be fixed... I liked my old PB G4 better in this department...

Weird things happening on this Mac Mini

Hey all,
Got an intel mac mini with tiger on it. We have some weird things going on here.
There is a black box that floats around and on most occations it goes around what his highlighted. I tried to see if this was an accessability option, but couldnt find anything on it.
Also, in the Apple menu, i have 2 restarts, 2 shutdowns, & 2 logouts.
Any clue on whats going on?

Hi Brian,
in order to fix the duplicate problem you have to reset the launch service database. Download Cocktail, OnyX or Tiger Cache Cleaner, they should fix it for you.

Weird thing happens on login diff to previous post

I get to discussions page, as guest user. so login as normal, no problems but when I have done so I still get the login page presented to me except that in the side panel I get Welcome Shirley Drabble1 but I have to go to the discussions 'thread' at the top of page if I want to find the forums list. [in small type where we normally get informed as to which forum we are in, ] So I click on that and get to the front page with all the topics listed.
I just wondered why it isn't working as it used to!
TIA
Shirley

OK I will try to explain again.
Straight from my browser not from an email link or anything else. Not having used Apple discussions since opening my Browser for the first time that session.
I go to the Apple discussions page. I have a link in my Firefox bookmarks in my Browser bar [just above the tabs]
I get the login page
I am not logged in.
I am not in any forums.
I log in
the login shows on the right hand column.
BUT
I am on the login page again.
to get to the list of discussions I have to click on the top of the page where I see Apple.com>support> discussions
I click on discussions to get the page of listings.
I choose iPhoto or Mail or OSX 10.4 or whichever I want to use.
Is that normal?
That is about the clearest I can be. I just don't remember being taken back to the login page after logging in before this week.
I may be wrong!!
It is a while since I needed to use Apple support
Though at the moment I am getting quite a few odd things happening.:-(

Weird things happened and now No Airport Card Installed.

Last night, I was playing with my iPhone 4 hotspot with my macbook unibody. Out of the blue, my macbook freeze while connecting with wireless hotspot. So what else can I do, I hard press the button and restart my macbook. Upon restart, it show NO AIRPORT CARD INSTALLED. So now I go and check my network preference, and I did not see airport listed on the left pane, I click + to add it, but no airport option. Weird... I regret with that iphone hotspot which now created problem with my macbook airport.
Where did it gone?
Is that hard press to shut down macbook disturbed every airport setting?
Is there anyway to get this setting back without fresh install or even reinstall OS? I have tried everything like PRAM SMU thinggy, but none work. Now I checked the preferences folder i dont see airport plist anymore.
This is so weird.. HELP!

Pull down the Apple menu, select "About This Mac", then click on "More Info". In the column on the left look for "Network" and within that, "AirPort". Click on that. If you see a lot of details about your AirPort card, then there's nothing wrong with your AirPort hardware.
It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease". Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

Weird things happen when i resize.

when i use the marquee tool and i select a box portion of something. then i got to transform selection and i set the dimensions to, lets say, 100px by 100px.
then i copy and paste into a new document sometimes it decides to make the new document 1 or 2 pixels wider which is weird and annoying cause then i have this white line going down the side after pasting.
and then using that image as a background pattern looks weird because i need to resize the canvas and get rid of that empty line. why does this happen its getting annoying.
and feathering is set to 0

If I understand correctly Selection > Transform Selection is basically the same as editing a Mask in that Interpolation has to be employed.
If you are sure you want a rectangular Selection of certain pixel-dimensions you should probably set Style in the Options Bar to Fixed Size before making it.

Weird things happening when adding files to library

OK so I just update to the newest itunes, so I am all up to date. My problem is that when I go to add files to the library from a folder on the harddrive, nothing happens. I hold down the shift key and select the songs in the folder I want to add, but it will not add them unless you manualy add EACH FILE one by one!
So I tried to just add the whole folder, but when I do that, it adds each song twice for some reason, so then I have to go through and manualy delete all the duplicates.
This has NEVER been a problem until tonight, if someone has a tip please tell me! I am also getting annoyed with the whole determing gapless playback thing, if someone has a tip to get rid of that, that would also be great. Thanks!

I looked over at Dougscripts.com but didn't find anything.
I think the best you can do is use the comment field for your dates.

A weird thing happened- licenses not remembered

I originally had a problem with getting my iphone recognized by itunes. I had created a merged library on my airport extreme connected drive of my 2 computer's itunes libraries. When using this library, I could not drag songs over to my iphone. I called Applecare, and while speaking with them, I got the spinning color wheel of death. I shut the power off on my computer and started back up again, and now all the login items that require licenses say that their 30 day trials have expired. All the settings I have reverted back to default, and any program I run acts like it is a new installation. My Applecare has expired, so they could not help me. Can anyone help me figure out what may have gone wrong?? Or what to reinstall from my time machine backup.

It's happened AGAIN ! This is getting pretty annoying. What will happen if I fill that form and submit ??
Is there no one interested ? I must not be the only one to whom this has happened, and someone should have a clue of what's going on ...
I mean, this thread has been sitting here for a few days, and still no reply from anyone ! And it's not like it all comes from my imagination. The page's URL does end in account!default.jspa, and I do get redirected to this page sometimes when I login with Safari. I'm currently using an iBook G4, 14.1", 1.33 Ghz, bought in June '05, running Tiger 10.4.5 (which means Safari 2.0.3 - 417.8).
I did login previously today (with the same iBook), and I didn't encounter this problem, but the computer didn't have my Apple ID in memory (it probably didn't have a cookie) and was running 10.4.4, so I don't know which of these conditions would trigger this behavior. And there's also the fact that my Mini, which is running 10.4.5 and has a cookie allowing it to fill my Apple ID in the box, has stopped doing it recently (haven't used it since yesterday though).
I know this is a lot of information, and that it doens't make much sense, but it does happen, and I consider it as an issue, since I have no idea of what would happen if I filled and submitted that form. Am I being given the chance to change my alias ? I doubt it. Is this a bug? I don't know. One thing is for sure though : I need help with this.

A weird thing happened to me when I tried to login

Hi, it's me again !
Today, when I attempted to login, just as I usually do, I was presented with a screen requiring me to choose an avatar, etc., etc. (just as if I were creating a new account). I quit Safari, relaunched and tried again, same thing (I did check to see whether the email address/Appe ID name was correct, and I am certain to have entered the right password). Then, when I tried a third time (w/out relaunching), it logged me in automatically, without asking for a password or anything. This really is unusual, and what's more puzzling is that I can't find much sign of such a behavior of the system on the boards, which makes me think I might be an isolated case.
Can anyone offer any explanation to me ? Is it related to the fact that we can now see the total amount of posts in our Public Profile ??

A weird thing happens to layout when inserting {tag_blogpostbodypreview, Read More}

I have used this tag often {tag_blogpostbodypreview, Read More}, but in a recent update to an older site replacing {tag_blogpostbody} with {tag_blogpostbodypreview, Read More} forces the "side-panel" DIV to slide under the Post List and not to the right, as if that tag has a clear:both or block styling.
I have made sure that nothing else cause this and find that by replacing those tag with each other on the Post List layout page breaks up the blog layout altogether
Here's the catch, it only happens on the "home page" of the Blog List, but not when viewing the Post Detail or when you go to page #2 on the Blog List view
See here Home Page
http://www.peptalks.me/pep-talks-blog
See here a Post Detail and Page 2 of the list
http://www.peptalks.me/pep-talks-blog/page/2/
http://www.peptalks.me/pep-talks-blog/familiar_foods_upgraded_is_gooooood
I can't for the life of it figure out why this is happening.
Any insight would be worth a cocktail on me.

#2 Cleaned up the repetive stylesheet.
#1 By Default and as with all my other Blogs that we have posted, the side-panel and post-list divs are inside the "wrapper clear" which is inside the "blog-container". They all work fine.
If I move the side-panel out of the "wrapper-clear", then the exact reverse happens. The home page of the blog is right, but then all subsequent pages have the side-panel forced below the blog-list and details.
This is what I have now

Weird things happen when using .cfc function arguments

Hey Guys,
I have a function as the following attached code, I can
invoke this function and it works well. but when I change the
number
32144809 to
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.jpRunNum#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> and invoke it by
<cfset qGetJPDependency =
CreateObject("component","cfdocs.imd.criticalPath.components.CriticalPath").test(run_num) >,it
firstly takes a long time waiting without any response, then it
shows a message "Request timed out waiting to execute", I don't how
to explain this, is there anyone know the reason caused this
issue????
Thanks!

Have you checked the logs to see what (if anything) else is
being reported
back about this?
Can you check what's going on on the Oracle - am guessing
it's Oracle from
the "CONNECT BY PRIOR" - box @ the time? I presume you can
set it to log
all SQL or JDBC activity?
Are you certain (absolutely ~) that arguments.jpRunNum
contains 32144809,
for the purposes of the test that's failing?
What if you factor the query out into a CF template and run
these tests:
1) as is in your example
2) change 32144809 to use a <cfqueryparam>, but still
hard code the value
to 32144809.
3) set a variable to 32144809, and use the variable as the
value of the
parameter.
From what you're describing, it seems like your query is
getting in a loop,
which with this sort of thing can be down to giving the
CONNECT BY PRIOR a
bung value.

Weird things happen when apply dissolve

When i apply a dissolve to black (fade to black) the image in the canvas shifts to the left. Almost like when film is mis aligned in the gate. But when i render it goes back to normal. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers
