Weird things my DX does...

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced these things.
I recently went to wakeup my phone (not after a long time or anything, I was using it just minutes before) and the screen was all black, with about 10 apps on the screen and above it, it said "Recently Used Apps" (or something along those lines) When I pushed the power button to put it to sleep and then woke it up again, it returned to my normal unlock screen. I haven't been able to replicate this screen or find anything in settings for it.
Also, just earlier today I went to wake it up, and the screen looked almost like the image of my homescreen was "burned" into the screen - kind of like a TV or computer might get after a while. It was very dim and I could only see it in certain lighting if I moved the phone around. I tried waking it up again and nothing happened. I had to hold the power button and have the phone reboot to get it back to normal. It was almost like the screen stopped working completely for a minute there. It was very weird, and again, I haven't been able to replicate this issue.
Anyone else experience these??

Hmm. I suppose the Home button could have done it. Although, I have never used the Home button for waking up the phone, I always use the power button. The screen did this upon wakeup. I just tried to replicate it by holding the home button, but it didn't do exactly the same thing. This time, it was sort of transparent and I could see my wallpaper and apps in the background, as well as the notification bar. The first time this happened, the entire screen was completely black, and I had only pushed the Power button to wake it up.
I'm not so concerned about the Recent apps screen as I am about the other "burned" effect it was doing. That sort of worried me a bit, but it hasn't done it since.

Windows 8 - SC6 started doing weird things, not working correctly

Windows 8 and CS6 - Liquifying tool not working and and actions not working correctly, back ground screen flickers and changes color and does weird things. I have done a complete D&R and it does the same thing. Someone with the same problem suggested a D&R and deactivate, then reinstall and reactivate, could this possibly work? if so, how would you do that? Thanks

Yes, one I can think of. Get the make and model of your video card and head over to the card manufacturer's website.
Check for and install the latest drivers for your card.
Also see if changing the settings of your GPU helps. Uncheck everything (OpenCL Anti-alias 30 bit displays) and start at Basic. then work your way up to Normal and Advanced.

My ipod does weird things

So I have a 30g video ipod that I have had for about a year now. Lately it has been doing so really weird things. It will be fully charged but run out of battery in thirty minutes or less, and it takes it anywhere from ten to fifteen seconds atleast to do anything. Play a song, pause a song, go through menus, everything. I was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas as to what is wrong or what I can do. My last resort would be sending it to apple.

Well, after getting NOWHERE with online help, I sent in my iPod for repair. After having it out of my possession for about 5 days Apple happily informed me that nothing is wrong.
Yet, SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!
It still doesn't "start"* my iTrip. Even though mine works fine on my wife's Nano. And even though hers doesn't work on mine. And even though it doesn't always get recognized by the computer when plugged in. And even though when it does get seen by iTunes, iTunes (about half the time) thinks it is corrupt and needs to be reformatted.
Oh, and now it doesn't charge through the iTrip port anymore.
But hey, nothing is wrong.
Anyone with anything helpful?
And before anyone suggests it again, I've restored the thing several times.
*By start I mean that the iTrip (LCD) will turn on and begin transmitting. Most of the time I have to fiddle with turning the iPod off and on and/or resetting it to get it to finally work. That process usually takes about 15 minutes or so.

My Iphone 5 does this weird thing where it just freezes, some random vertical lines show up, and shuts off. Does anyone know what the cause of this is?

Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

Projects doing very weird things

This has really been driving me nuts.
I'm on Mac 10.8.5. Just recently updated to CC 2014 v8.
I've been working on several projects lately, and very weird things are happening every time I open a project. Usually when you save and exit a project, when you reopen it, it will open to the same sequence you were last working on, but for some reason every time I open it will load a random sequence I hadn't worked on in a long time. Sometimes when I open, the project will load slowly indexing and conforming and generating peak files. After it thinking for 5 minutes, I go to play my sequence that was fine yesterday and now some audio tracks that are still in the timeline no longer contain any audio. When I match frame, the audio clip appears in source, but has no waveform and will not play any audio. Some audio tracks do not have waveforms but DO play audio, and when I match frame on those, the clip comes up and plays audio but shows no waveform.
Restarted computer and now all the audio loads fine, but thumbnails for all video aren't showing.
The other day I had a similar situation with VIDEO. Clips were randomly "pending" or "offline" and I would 'link' them, but it would remain offline or pending. Eventually it fixed itself somehow.
I'm having a hell of a time here. This is really holding me back from my work. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this as it is different everytime.
I'm working from an external harddrive that is brand new, and shouldn't be having any permissions issues...
Any insight would be appreciated!

Some trouble shooting:
Open Premiere while holding down shift+alt until welcome screen then
Clear out Media Cache database and remove remaining files in that folder manually.
See if that will help.

Mail is suddenly doing really weird things

Hi, I am starting to have my MAIL program acting very strange. For one thing, it keeps shutting down for no reason. Either in the process of reading or responding to an email, just sitting idle, or in the process of downloading new mail. I have read on forums about deleting all 3rd party plug ins (I didn't have any), deleting "things to do" in iCal (again, I lead a boring life so nothing there), relaunching (about a dozen times a day now) and just about everything else suggested short of a complete reset which I am afraid to do as I can't lose any of the emails I have in the storage. I currenty have about 20GB of free space still (and have for years). I have run Onyx and ran permission fixes gallore. It still shuts down for no apparent reason.
Now here are some other things it is doing since this started about a month ago. When I close out the program from the tool bar (Quit Mail), the window closes out but the MAIL remains in the tool bar with a greyed out "QUIT MAIL". I can not open a new window as long as this is in this way. I have to force quit mail to get it to relaunch.
I am also getting a lot, and I mean a lot (about 20+ per day) of my old emails from the past three years popping up in various folders that they don't belong in and indicating that they are "unread" ie: bold lettering. When I say various, I mean they are showing up in folders that have nothing to do with the subject or the client. They are suddenly appearing in other client or project's correspondence.
So what do I do or should I do. I have kept these emails in their folders as I do refer back to certain client subjects that are sometimes up to three years ago. One folder is just of emails from my son who passed away in 2011. His emails suddenly show up as new mail in various folders as well. I know tomorrow is Halloween, but this is a bit too spooky (or technical) for me to figure out.
Any one have any suggestions on what could be going on? and suggestions to fix it? Would a complete reset of MAIL erase all my folders and emails? I could probably loose some of my old client/project emails, but I do not want to lose my son's last correspondences to me.
Thanks
Lew

Hi Lew,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.
If it continues to happen...
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

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 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.

I restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

i restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What are these weird things in Apple Mail?

Hi,
Does anyone know what these weird things are in Apple Mail? (Please ignore the yellow markers)
It often happens when I open the application in the first e-mail.
Thanks!
Teun

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Macbook Pro slow start up, freezing on Safari, weird things on iTunes

I have a mid-2012 Macbook Pro and it's never seemed to operate optimally. It's slow to start up and sometimes freezes on Safari pages. ITunes is difficult to navigate and does weird things. I haven't done the latest update because we don't have Wi-Fi at home. Could it be that or could I have a hardware problem? Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Weird thing in Safari

Not sure why, Safari just started doing this weird thing.
After I click on an item in eBay, or click any page on any site, when I 'swipe' back using my Apple Magic Mouse, the page jams a few pixels back and it freezes, mouse won't click on anything in Safari after that. I have to quit and start again.
I trashed system pref plist for Safari, made no difference.
I repaired permissions (three times) and get the following, anyone know what this means or why Safari has started doing this or how to fix it?
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .Repaired “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”
Thanks

1. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.
2. There are reports that this problem can be solved by simply restarting, or by resetting the PRAM.
Repairing permissions is a waste of time.

JNDI issues - Weird things

Hi,
i'm really confused right now, it's so weird, i just can't get it.
I use POJO business objects in a layer between my session fa�ades and my cmps.
I already have on use case working like this: the fa�ade doesn't make references to other ejbs (neither in ejb-jar.xml nor jboss.xml), as it delegates the work to a business POJO.
This is business POJO looks for a local interface in the following way.
partyHouseLocalHome = (PartyHouseLocalHome)ejbHomeFactory.lookupByLocalEJBReference("PartyHouseLocal");The above code is inside the POJO's constructor. Everything works perfectly fine. I afirm/b]: The fa�ade which delegates to this POJO, which is the PartyIssuesBean, [b]does not have any reference in ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml to the bean PartyHouseBean, the one i'm looking for in the above code.
So, today i was creating a new use case and build a very similar archicture -> a session fa�ade that delegates to a POJO.
I build a brand new session fa�ade that does not reference any other bean in ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml. This fa�ade delegates to a POJO that, inside it's constructor, look for the following ejbs.
partyHouseLocalHome = (PartyHouseLocalHome)ejbHomeFactory.lookupByLocalEJBReference("PartyHouseLocal");
partyNegotiationLocalHome = (PartyNegotiationLocalHome)ejbHomeFactory.lookupByLocalEJBReference("PartyNegotiationLocal");Here's the weird thing, on the second lookup i get a javax.ejb.NameNotFoundException !!!!
The lookup for the PartyHouseBean works, but the lookup for the PartyNegotiationBean does not work!!!
Then, i decided to add a reference (in ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml) to the PartyNegotiationBean for the Session fa�ade the delegates to this POJO.
With that, i lookup works fine !!!!
In other words:
- When i lookup from this POJO for the PartyHouseBean (as in the code above) i do not need a reference to PartyHouseBean in ejb-jar.xml or jboss.xml for the fa�ade that uses this POJO.
- When i lookup from this POJO for the PartyNegotiationBean, it only works if a set a reference to PartyNegotiationBean in ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml for the fa�ade that uses this POJO.
How weird is that????
I couldn't see any thing diferent between the code of PartyHouseBean and PartyNegotiationBean..., is there some kind of externalize????
I'd appreciate any help.
Leandro

How weird is that????it looks very weird, indeed....
But after you think about those guys that wrote JBoss this looks not so surprising after all.
but jokes aside.... I think you should always use ejb-local-ref when you invoke local EJB's.
best regards,
Maris Orbidans

Really annoying thing Itunes is doing

Just installed Windows 7 a few days ago, and everything before worked fine...now, I can't seem to get Itunes to stay running in the background. Every couple seconds it pulls itself up as the active program with no prompting, interrupting anything I was doing. Needless to say, this is extremely annoying, especially since I usually listen to music while working on art or design-related projects which Itunes is making impossible. Anyone know of a setting I may have missed to fix this?

It's not the margins, and I already have "Keep lines together." unchecked. I have the layout showing. It lets me type at the bottom there, but it sometimes, for no explainable reason, moves the text that I type down there to the next page. The weird thing is that when I type a lot on the next page (about 4 lines), it moves it back to fill the space.

Weird things my DX does...
