Weirdest Thing

I have not had this happen to me in my 10 years of using GB.
When I hit the New Track icon or even through the drop down menu, NOTHING happens, when I am setting up for a Software Instrument track.
YET, if I switch it to either Guitar Track or Real Instrument Track.... Up pops the track.
What the ****???
Can any one shed some light on this peculiarity, as I dont even know where to start looking.
Thank you.

Hi Daniel Cronin: I believe you have inadvertently "zoomed" your screen. Check in system preferences > universal access > seeing tab. Check that Zoom isn't activated there.
Good Luck

  • Weirdest Thing. Don't know what's going on. Help!

    So this isn't really a huge deal, it's just kind of annoying and also makes me a little worried that something else might be wrong that might be a problem.
    I'm not sure how to explain it, so I'll say it the best way I can. Every time my mouse pointer passes the middle of my display the display moves up and down. So like, if my mouse goes toward the bottom half of the screen, once it hits the middle of the display, the screen moves up ever so slightly. If I move the mouse toward the top, the display moves down. It's so slight that I didn't even notice it much, but if I look at my dock and the bottom of my internet browser, it's definitely noticeable. Also, the things on my page become slightly blurry if my mouse goes above the middle of the display, and becomes clearer if I pull it to the bottom.
    Does any of that make sense? It's so weird and I'm pretty sure it just started happening in the past couple days. I can try to explain it further if needed.
    Thanks!

    Your display is zoomed in slightly.
    Open System Preferences +Universal Access+ pane Seeing tab. Make sure Zoom is turned off. You may have inadvertently enabled it with a keystroke.

  • Internet is connected and majority of the websites work, yet sometimes the pictures are not loading? And the suddenly the hole page won't load? The weirdest thing is I go venture off to another website and it'll work just fine??

    So I have been having this very annoying problem with the loading of certain internet sites e.g - Ebay, google maps, google in general & you tube.
    My internet connection is fine and i have spoken with my service provider TPG and Apple about this annoying issue.
    I can be generally browsing on google for instance and then suddenly the page freezes? No matter how many times i click the Refresh tab it still manages to do the same thing. Now the most confusing bit is, instead of clicking the refresh button I then venture off to Yahoo for instance and that website will work just fine??
    Ugh, another (now) consistant issue is that none of my pictures are loading when im on Ebay? yet i can browse every catagory just fine....?
    Please, if there is anyone out there HELP ME.... I'm a Mechanical Technician (Fitter by Trade) I do not class myself as a Computer Technician.... Far from it!!

    Thanks for the advise....
    You're correct about the steps you mentioned earlier.  Tho Unfortunetely I've tried these things. Infact I was on the phone with applecare last night for about an hr & a half, yet even they seem stunned as to what is causing this?
    We reset the safari in a different way as you mentioned earlier (I would not have been able to do this without some Technical assistance)
    Open Finder >  click on the GO tab > Hold down the OPT key & a tab will appear that reads [Libary]
    Click on Libary > Now look for a folder that reads [Safari]
    Drag this folder to the desktop
    Now open the folder that reads [Preferances]
    Look for files: com.apple.safari.plist & com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
    Now quit any programs operating & restart the computer.
    Vwallaa Safari is officailly reset, it will even take you on a tour when you open it for the first time.
    Now the catch is.... this didnt work "For me"  So My next step was to make a dummy account on my Mac (making sure that it had administrator rights) I then tried it on the dummy account. Luck would have it as it still managed to do the same thing.
    Apple came to the conclusion that restoring Lion might be a possible solution. So we done just that, wasnt till this morning when i turned on this annoying Mac i realised that it is still doing the same thing.
    Apple care is going to call me this afternoon so hopefully "fingers crossed" this issue can be fixed.

  • File sharing XP-VISTA (WIRELESS) WEIRDEST THING I EVER SEEN!

    Ok i said to myself lets give file sharing between my laptop and fixed pc a try with laptop running vista and fixed pc xp pro (always worked with xp-xp and just new WRTN150N).
    Not suprized off course that it did not work vista has been fine tuning from day one for me?
    So with my usual googling power and checklist I went to work
    -same workgroup (CHECK!)
    -NORTON (CHECK!)
    -FIREWALL(CHECK!)
    -WRT150N checking for possible security block(CHECK i think)
    30 min getting frustrated
    50 min the network map SHOW MY FIXED PC WOEEEEEHOOOOOO
    57 min BUT BUT why cant just click my shared fixed pc in network map 1h10 min found google answer saying they had to buy a new router (MY **bleep** IT IS brand new WRTN150v1.1)
    1h30 min crying on the inside has turned into cyring on the outside 1h50 plugged in vista in ethernet port EVERYTHING WORKED followed by lot and lot of swearing 2h05 double checked everything
    2h20 SCREW IT
    2h21 psshed said the intervoice inside my head ping!
    2h22 ping works fine (ZOMG)
    2h30 what if instead of using all the computer names you just type in the ip adress of the fixed pc said the innervoice
    2h35-2h50 why does this work why why why why why why DNS?????
    This is the network shown by vista when using ethernet I just click on icon of fixed pc below and bingo i have acess to share stuffers ethernet
    The following link is the laptop on wireless and for some stupid reason if i want to access shares it has to be with ip adresses wireless
    So conclusion
    sharing ethernet (just click in networkplaces,XP,VISTA)
    sharing wiresless (\\ipadress\sharelocation)
    ALL THIS MAKE NO SENSE TO ME!

    Your computer software firewall may be blocking the file and printer sharing. It was for me. Go into your software firewall 'Trust' settings and check to insure that the Linksys WRT150N physical address is 'Trusted' on all networked PC's.
    I had previously just disabled the firewall. Apparently that's not totally effective.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mouse moves by itself down to dock (even when physically unplugged and no network connection) and starts clicking open the applications in a row! Always does the same thing every few hours. What is happening?

    Craziest thing ever.
    I cannot find this happening to anyone anywhere online, but this is seriously the weirdest thing I've seen in 20 years.  I've done everything I can think of to try and prevent this, EXCEPT for two things... one of which is being tested right now:  login as different user and reinstall the OS.  For the past 30 minutes, I've left it logged in as another user to see if it happens again.
    Things I've tried:
    - New mouse
    - New keyboard
    - No mouse or keyboard
    - Repair permissions
    - Reset PRAM
    - Turn off any extraneous applications that launch at login
    - Firewall blocks / Stealth mode
    - Remote management OFF
    - No network connection at all
    No matter what we tried above, it still happens.  Again, I am currently logged in as a completely different user to see if it happens here.
    If you were to see it in action, it would freak you out.  The mouse literally just starts jumping around on the dock opening applications.  We have not found a pattern for when it actually happens. It just happens.
    Any ideas, friends of the forums?  Thank you in advance.

    Thank you so much BDAQUA and RRFS. 
    I can't confirm it, but I think I just figured out what is causing the issue.  This is a school computer, and there is a SMART Board hooked up to the Mac via USB.  Thanks to BDAqua's post, I realized the "ghost" vanished and never came back when the SMART Tools application was closed.  Through all of this troubleshooting, I failed to realize a GIANT mouse was still attached to the computer.
    I have not returned to the classroom to confirm any of this, but I would bet that either something is on the SMART Board causing the "touch" to occur or the software just needs to be reinstalled.  Again, I've confirmed nothing, but it sounds like it MUST be related to the touch screen SMART Board.
    Thank you all who gave this any thought. I apologize for not physically removing all peripherals... I hope this works.  I'll be back there tomorrow.  If you don't hear from me again, that was definitely the issue.
    Thanks again!

  • Iphone 5 locks up and does random things and freezes

    I have an iphone 5 that randomly freezes, starts apps on it's own, types when I am not typing, video goes astray when playinmg games.  I am ready to throw this thing out the window.  I called Apple Support and they said it is a software glitch.  I tried multiple time restoring from computer backup and from Icloud but symtoms don't go away.  Has this happened to anybody else?  How do you fix it@

    Hi...thanks for the advice but it still has random things happening and gets unresponsive. I have backed up and restored from my computer and the cloud. Neither worked. I resorted to erasing the phone and starting as a new phone but I am getting the same random problems. For example, i open the camera app but I  can't take a picture. If I touch the escape button on the top of the phone and open the same app I sometimes can take a picture.
    Forget about playing games with graphics. Nothing responds well with games.  The weirdest thing is when you launch email and the phone just starts typing random characters and letters.
      I think I have to bite the bullet and get s replacement phone.
    PS i use a lifeproof case and the problem occurs randomly with or without the case. 

  • If the wifi on my iPod Touch is on nothing else on the router will connect to the internet

    Ever since I updated my iPod Touch 4th Gen to iOS 6, If the wifi on my iPod Touch is on nothing else on the router will connect to the internet..
    It's the weirdest thing.
    My Wired and WiFi computers are experiencing DNS errors, unresolved URLs and in general having difficulty connecting to the internet...
    That is.... UNTIL I SHUT OFF THE WIFI ON MYiPOD 4th Gen TOUCH!!!
    Then everything works fine.
    I've reset my router, several times.
    I've reset my Cable Moden, several times.
    The problem persists until I disable the WiFi on my iPod

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • Nano no longer likes my PC anymore

    Hi, this problem is really frustrating me. When I first installed the nano, I was able to use iTunes and transfer all my music. Everything was good. Then the next day, I wanted to put more music on my nano. So I popped the USB plug into it and the nano started to do the weirdest thing. The computer would recognize it for a second and the nano screen would say "Do Not Disconnect". Then like 2-3 seconds later, the nano would show the menu and the computer won't recognize anything being plugged in. However, the battery bar on the nano still shows it is "plugged in". Then sporadically, the "Do Not Disconnect" would show up for a second, then disappear and then show up again and disappear again.
    So I thought it might have been the nano itself. So I pulled out my laptop and connected the nano on that and it was fine. I could transfer songs and stuff onto the nano. So then I thought maybe it was my desktop. So I plugged my old 3g 20 gig ipod into it and it works fine too (I even used the same USB plug as the nano). So I am frustrated and lost. I'm not sure if any of you have run into this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    From the top down:
    neither DU or console do anything when I insert the disc.
    I had updated to 10.4.11 awhile back and did the permission thing both before and after at that time. I also repaired permissions this time (twenty minutes ago), but no help for the super drive.
    The article was no help - disc is clean and flat, inserts fully, ejects when asked to, just goes "growl, growl, growl" then ejects. Yes, I've tried more than 1 disc.
    I checked for any software updates, only quicktime, itunes and a security update. Didn't see anything about firmware.

  • Pure craziness: W530 will post with a DIMM in slot 1 **or** 3, but not both.

    I've been going nuts here, so I apologize in advance if this email sounds a litted harried.
    I have two identical W530s in front of me. Both of them are i7-3820QM and are intended to support up to 32GB of RAM. So I went and ordered 32GB of RAM from Crucial and it showed up this afternoon. I promptly installed it all in machine A because I was in the middle of doing some work on machine B. Everything was fine with machine A.
    After I finished my work on machine B I decided to move the four DIMMs over there for various reasons; machine B will be there final destination. I stuck them in, making sure to seat them nicely. The machine refused to post. I pulled a couple out. The machine refused to post. I put them back in machine A. Machine A posted. Something fishy was up with machine B.
    To make a long story short, read the title of this message. This is seriously one of the weirdest things I have ever encountered with a piece of hardware. If you have all four DIMMs installed, the machine does not post. If you remove **only** DIMM 1, the machine posts. If you remove **only** DIMM 3, the machine posts. Slots 2 and 4 work just fine; whether they are empty or full or partially full doesn't effect a **bleep** thing. I've also tried this with 4GB DIMMs instead of 8GB DIMMS; same deal.
    Just to be ridiculously clear, here are he configurations that work and those that don't. "x" means that slot is empty.
    x x x x - fails, beeps (obviously)
    x x x 4 - works
    x x 3 x - works
    x x 3 4 - works
    x 2 x x - works
    x 2 x 4 - works
    x 2 3 x - works
    x 2 3 4 - works
    1 x x x - works
    1 x x 4 - works
    1 x 3 x - fails silently
    1 x 3 4 - fails silently
    1 2 x x - works
    1 2 x 4 - works
    1 2 3 x - fails silently
    1 2 3 4 - fails silently
    **bleep** is going on here? The BIOS isn't even giving error beeps in the failure modes. If I'm somehow being a total moron, please let me know; that is so much more satisfying than the idea of a machine that can't use all its RAM slots because of some weird hardware bug.
    Thanks!

    OK, so you've contacted service for repair on this system? I think that you've exhausted all user actions to correct.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud will not Sync Any Files/Folders (MAC OSX)

    I am posting this more as a guide for people having similar issues than I am a question, as it has already been resolved but I could not find this answer anywhere on the forums.
    Here was my situation:
    After a fresh install of a completely empty creative cloud account, Creative Cloud is unable to sync any files or folders.
    In order to troubleshoot the issue, I created a single <folder> and 1 file (Instructions.txt) inside my Creative Cloud Folder that needed to sync. Remember, this was a brand new install on a brand new account.
    I then attempted to sync.
    Here is an excerpt from my CoreSync log, so that you can see the errors being generated:

    I called Adobe Customer Support, and after explaining the situation, was first instructed on how to save a file to my Creative Cloud folder. Just a note to Adobe, when a customer sends you a detailed log file and tells you they have already tried certain steps from the forums, don't start at using Adobe 101.
    Customer service insisted that I try deleting options.tix again. I did so, following the instruction posted here: Re: I can't sync to my files In the CC desktop app
    This did not work.
    Support then requested that I navigate to /Users/<my username>/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/ and rename the "CoreSync" folder to "Coresyncold".
    Upon doing, killing "Adobe Creative Cloud" and "CoreSync" processes, and restarting the "Adobe Creative Cloud" Application, all syncing functionality worked correctly.
    To summarize, this fixed the issue:
    Rename "CoreSync" to "Coresyncold" (Functionally, the same as deleting it)
    Kill "Adobe Creative Cloud" and "CoreSync" Processes
    Restart "Adobe Creative Cloud"
    Here is the process as terminal commands:
    mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CoreSync ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CoreSyncOld
    killall Creative\ Cloud
    killall CoreSync
    open -a Creative\ Cloud
    Good Luck,

    Hi, Thanks for the reply.  Everything worked fine until I updated to CC14.  after that, I receive conflicted file messages. So, I archived all my files that were in cloud.  I opened each file on my Mac and re-saved them using SaveAs so I was sure the file was in the CC14 format.  I uploaded each file to the cloud as they would not synch.  Now when I work on a file I get double the files showing the original file (with the old upload date) and the conflicted file on my Mac.  I have no idea now which file I am actually using is the original file or the conflicted file.  Still today, nothing synchs - I get the "Some Files failed to Sync" message - click Learn More and the message tells me that the cloud is working perfectly... but it's not... my files aren't synching... I have worked on two files today and neither have synched.  It's the weirdest thing...

  • ITunes wont reconize my iPod but my iPhone works fine - VISTA

    I know what you are saying...go through the 5 R's and all will be well. NO, this is the weirdest thing I've ever encountered. I just got this HP Laptop a couple of months ago...it has Vista installed on it. I downloaed iTunes 7.4 when I got my iPhone and it works fine. Then I tried to plug in my iPod nano (2nd Gen) and my iPod Photo with no luck. Windows wants me to locate the drive for the ipods because it can't find one.
    My Device Maganger shows the iPod under 'Other Devices' with a yellow exclamation point next to it. Needs a driver. The iPod service is running. Vista obviously thinks the iPod service and driver is just for the iPhone. Thats my guess...Apple can't figure it out...and says 'It's a Windows problem' and Windows tells me to contact Apple for a driver for the ipods.
    Has anyone else solved this little problem?
    Ohh....BTW, these iPods work fine on my desktop using iTunes + Windows XP. I've done ALL the reset tricks...and have restored both of them, they just won't be reconized by iTunes or Vista. Both iPods show up in Device Mgr as iPods, but under the Unknown Devices.
    Help Please....

    Thanks for the reply Tony. No, the computer is brand new as is the iPhone. I did manage to solve the problem though. As I stated, the iPhone was the first thing I plugged into this new Laptop, with a fresh new copy of iTunes. The iPhone worked fine, it's the iPods that were not reconized by Vista.
    Here is how I solved the problem. I removed the iPod from device mgr (Under Unknown Devices). Started up iTunes, plugged in the iPod and when Vista asked for a driver location I pointed it to the c:\Windows folder and it found the drivers. First was the USB Mass Storage Device driver, then the iPod driver, then the USBusEmumerator driver and now all is well.
    It's a VISTA BUG! Once you use that USB Driver for the phone, anyother Apple product will require you to manually go into the windows folder and have Vista find it again and use it for your iPod. I wouldn't be suprised if this was done intentionally by Microsoft to try to get people to use there MP3 Players instead of Apple.

  • Added iPod movie to iTunes - can't find it in the library

    I converted a movie for my new iPod, and it seems that the only way to add movies to the iPod is to add them to the iTunes library.
    Well, I did that, and the weirdest thing happened. I could add the movie to iTunes, but I couldn't add it to the library, the "plus"-sign didn't show there, but I could add it to one of the playlists. It also got transferred to the iPod, where I can watch it.
    Since this was only a short test-clip, I wanted to remove it afterwards. Oops! it was in the library, and iTunes wouldn't even find it with the search-feature. So I re-synced the iPod with iTunes, to see if it was still there....and it was, but where? It was on my iPod, but I still couldn't find it on iTunes.
    A search on spotlight revealed it: in the "Recently Added" playlist, but not in the library. Why is that?
    After that I tried to delete it, but I couldn't delete it from the playlist. I had to use Spotlight again, and delete it from the finder.
    Has anybody an explanation for all this? For now, I'm not adding anymore movies to the iPod, scared to lose some content with this unexpected behavior.

    iTunes sorts all of your content into different Libraries depending on how it has been classified, e.g. Movies you download from the iTunes Store go in the Movies Library, Music and Music Videos go in the Music Library, and TV Shows go in the TV Shows Library. In Preference under the tab General there should be some options to show or hide certain Libraries. Make sure that the Movies box is checked and it should be fine.
    If that doesn't work, or if it does, please come back and let us know.

  • IPad cuts out and stutters on AirPlay music but iPhone does not?!

    Hi folks, hope you can help with this problem, it's a little weird.
    I bought an Apple TV a few days ago and have been enjoying streaming music from my apple devices onto the hifi system connected to the TV.  It works great except for one particular use-case, which is really frustrating.  Basically, I can do everything from the Apple TV, stream HD content, Netflix etc. all good.  From my iPhone I can do everything over AirPlay, stream music from iTunes, from Spotify, stream high quality video from YouTube or off the device itself, all works perfectly.
    On my iPad 2 however everything works EXCEPT streaming music, it's bizarre.  I can stream a high def video from YouTube onto the iPad and AirPlay it over to the ATV and it never misses a beat.  I can mirror my screen onto the TV and stream games like Real Racing HD with no issues or lag whatsoever.  However when I try to stream music either from iTunes or Spotify from the iPad it stutters (cuts out) every 30 seconds or so, making the music intolerable. 
    The weirdest thing is that I can queue up the same track on my iPhone 4s and on the iPad 2, play it from the iPhone and it works perfectly, pause that, play from the iPad and it's a complete mess.  Similarly, when music is stuttering and cutting out on the iPad, I can switch directly to the YouTube, or BBC iPlayer app and stream high def video over AirPlay with no sound or video problems, then switch back to the music - back come the cut outs. It's driving me mad, I want the iPad to be the device everyone uses to play music from, especially for parties, but at the moment I have to get my phone out every time.
    So it's not a bandwidth problem or a wifi signal problem (because video over airplay is fine) and it only affects music and it only affects the iPad.
    Any ideas?!?!
    I should state that all the iOS devices have the latest apple software and I have already tried resetting the iPad, the ATV, my wifi router etc. etc.

    "Sonos" your Airplay
    Hi,
    This observation elicited a Eureka moment. After months of problems with our airplay I had worked through almost every suggestion on the net to little or no avail.
    As a result of this post I reconfigured one of our access points as a dedicated airplay network. Brilliant. We have now had 2 weeks of perfect airplay.
    If you are reading this, you are probably fairly tech savvy. You therefore probably have an old router in the garage, shed or attic.
    Get it out, dust it off and connect it to your network as an access point (Ethernet cable and a good internet search on your router). Set it up on an empty wireless channel as "*****airplay" or whatever suits you and connect the airplay clients (airport express, Apple TV, airplay speakers etc.) to that. Keep everything else on the original wireless network.
    Interestingly, this is how Sonos have approached the wireless music solution.
    This has worked brilliantly for us, I hope this helps others in a similar predicament.

  • One track is always truncated when I try to import

    This is the weirdest thing. I am running iTunes 7.7 on my MacBook, although this problem appears to have occurred ages ago when I originally ripped this CD.
    It's a store-bought classical CD, which I very much like. When I put it in the drive, it shows up in iTunes, and all of the track lengths show up correctly. The crucial one here is track 1, which is 8:30 long. If I play it from there, I get the whole track, no problems.
    If I then import the CD, all of the tracks come in correctly, except this one. It comes in as only being 2:12 long. That is, if I look at the CD, it still claims to be 8:30 and it claims to have successfully imported, but if I look at the music library, it claims to be 2:12, and when I play it, it's truncated.
    I checked the start and stop times with Get Info, and they match what I'm seeing -- if I try to set the imported file to be 8:30, it won't let me do it.
    The CD was made in 1990, if that's relevant (I was wondering if perhaps there was some attempt at copy-protection denying me a legal use).
    When I try to copy the file by drag-and-drop from CD to desktop, I also get an error, so I'm wondering if the file is just corrupted on the CD. (Other files on the same CD copy okay.)
    I've rebooted, I've reimported, I've tried everything I could think of. I have no earthly idea what's going on here.
    Any ideas? Any way to recover this piece of music if the CD is corrupted such that it only allows playback but cannot be copied?

    It sounds like there might be some weird error on the disc. iTunes' ripper isn't necessarily the best for dealing with damaged discs, give this one a whirl:

  • Occasional ora-6502 using forms 6i and 10g

    Hi all.
    We have been experiencing some weird and unexpected ora-6502 errors in some of our forms 6i modules running against 10g (rel 1 or 2).
    Forms modules are correctly functioning and for some reason, one day an ora-6502 error suddenly pops up.
    Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.
    I know that this may sound hard to believe, but it has happened several times. All we do is put some message built in, recompile all, and the error is gone (for a while).
    So my questions are:
    - Is this a known issue beween forms 6i and 10g Db?.
    - Is there a patch on Metalink ( we use Forms [32 bits] Versión 6.0.8.26.0 (Producción))
    - A workaround?
    and most important
    - Have anyone been exposed to a similar situation?
    Regards, Luis ...!

    Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.Sounds like the form has not been "clean compiled" against the server on which it is running. Try a "Compile All", which causes all previously compiled program units to be compiled fresh.
    Or even better, clean out all the compiled code from your fmb before compiling the fmb on the server where it runs.
