What is 11.0.3 doing to my laptop to ECHO back NUMBERS in place of LETTERS?

1. Environment: Windows 7, Adobe Reader 11.0.2 or 11.0.3, IE 10 or FoxFire Mozilla, MS Word2010.
LOCAL
2.1 Action Sequence #1: Launch .pdf file locally from "C" drive; view .pdf, EXIT.
2.2 : Launch MSWord2010, type "HELLO", SCREEN ECHOs BACK NUMBERS RANDOMLY - NOT "HELLO".
VIA IE
3.1 Action Sequence #2: Lauch .pdf file located via Google search; view .pdf, EXIT.
3.2 : Type "HELLO" into Google search box, SCREEN ECHOs BACK NUMBERS RANDOMLY - NOT "HELLO".
4 Any combo of local/IE view of a .pdf and local/IE typing (except NOTEPAD) results in above behavior.
5. ONLY SOLUTION IS REBOOT - A PAIN.
THIS IS THIRD TIME I'M POSING QUESTION AS I'VE RECEIVED NO DIRECTION. PROBLEM IS CLEAR. WHAT IS GOING ON?

You're free to go all the way back to 10 if you feel so inclined... But I've read more than a dozen different support forums including at least three at laptop manufacturers' sites (and even Microsoft) which ALL say this is a numlock problem fixable from the keyboard.

NOT ONE OF THOSE LINKS says ANYTHING AT ALL about removing Adobe reader as any part of the solution that WORKED for what I can only assume are hundreds of others having the same issue.
I can say with a strong degree of certainty that this IS NOT a Reader ISSUE and Reader IS NOT the cause.

I'm trying to connect to my home wifi with my imac gh5. After I enter the password it says connection timeout or password incorrect. I know there's no issue with the connection but I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

During a demo today could not use Messages for video chat or screen share - what dumb thing was I doing wrong?

I was giving a demo / class today for some people in a volunteer group I work for. They all got new MacBook Airs or MacBook Pros, and I got a MacBook Pro because I am going to be going into explain how to use them.
Most everythng went well, but one really cool thing I do all the time from home on my iMac I couldn't get to work. That part of the lesson was a disaster, though fortunately everything else went well.
I'd like to figure out what dumb thing I was doing wrong so I can show them next week.
I know we have to sign in with AOL accounts for screen sharing to work in Messages. So first I had everybody sign up for a free AOL account. That went fine.
Then we all logged in using our accounts. That went fine for everybody except one person. We could all see each other online, with little video cameras next to our names in the Buddy List. One person never showed up anywhere for some reason.
But we could not do either video chats or successfully request to share other peoples' screens, which I do all the time at home to help other people with their Macs.
One person could not even see any requests from me pop up. One person could see my requests come in and accepted them, but nothing happened after that.
Ordinary message chats were working ok.
Things I already thought of:
1. Perhaps the wi-fi in the bulding was blocking some ports? Just in case, I turned on mobile hotspot (tethering) on my iPhone 5 and had everybody connect to my network. But the results were the same, so it wasn't that.
2. I wasn't sure it mattered, but in Settings > Sharing I made sure that everbody had screen sharing turned on. And just in case, even though I don't have this set from home, I further made sure everybody had "anyone may request to control the screen" checked.
While I could do local network sharing of screens (via the Devices list in the Finder side panel), I couldn't for the life of me get it to work with Messages. But I've been doing this for years from home to help my sister and other people across town with their Mac by doing screen sharing this way and taking over their screen.
It must be something dumb I'm overlooking. Anybody know what it is?
Thanks,
Doug

Problem solved, finally, by AppleCare support!
I gave up trying to reach the "English support line" guy located in Manila and decided to insist on plain old Japanese support here in Tokyo and explained the problem from scratch.
First we tried all the usual suspects, but nothing we did could get it to work. Then we did an ARA (Apple Remote Access) support session. This was the first time I ever did this. Quite cool, and very useful.
At first we still could not figure out what was wrong, but finally isolated the problem to the way my AOL account name was entered.
When I added the AOL account to my Messages app, all I did was enter my username part. I didn't add the @aol.com part, because I never did that on my iMac. However, Messages kept on automatically adding "@aol.com" to the end of the AIM account name.
The Apple tech person got me to try once again to get rid of the @aol.com part of the account name. We:
1. Disabled the account.
2. Manually deleted the @aol.com, leaving just my AIM name.
3. Restarted my MacBook Pro (very quick, by the way, and also immediately brought back his ARA session).
This time the @aol.com part remained gone, and I was able to test connecting to my iMac, which has a different AIM account set. It worked!
I was able to do screen sharing via Messages! And also do video chat via Messages. Yay!
So much thanks to Watabe-san at Apple support. The people I am teaching will be happy to see this working on Sunday, because it really is a very useful tool for assisting people remotely.

Is there a way to find out what each file in core does?

I would like to know if there is a way to know what the packages in [core] does (i.e., even during install)? If I re-install, I only want to install the packages that I need. There are some packages that I understand from experience, such as Wifi for wireless and some from experience from other Linux distros as well, but there are other particulars I don't know about. TIA

run pacman -Qi pkgname for each package you want to learn about. The Description at the bottom should give you enough information for your purposes. You can also see if its required by anything else that's installed.
You could, of course, write a script that does this for all files in [core], snips out the descriptions, and cats them to a file.

What is Time Machine actually doing?

During Time Machine backups, I always get curious as to what Time Machine is actually doing.
For example, towards the end of a backup, TM is "Cleaning up...". What does that mean? I didn't realise TM made a mess to begin with. And also, when I click "Stop Backing Up" whilst TM is cleaning up, the backup finishes a lot quicker, yet is considered a successful backup. Makes me think that "Cleaning up..." is an unnecessary part of the whole process.
Additionally, there is also this "Finalising backup..." message. What does that even mean? Once your finished cleaning up, surely there's nothing more to be done?
Just curious as to whether or not anybody has figured out what TM is actually doing.

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
The main things are converting the "in.Progress" package into an actual backup folder; deleting "expired" backups, if necessary; and finishing up the (hidden) log in each backup folder, updating the status, date of last backup, in various places.
If you cancel while it's deleting expired backups, it just skips that step, as it will get them the next time, so yes, that's considered a successful backup.
See #A1 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for a handy widget to display the backup messages from your logs.

Android.process.acore? What is this and why does it keep not working?

Help: I've had my Lucid 3 phone since May and this phone has been the most confusing thing to operate. I'm currently having three (3) issues:
The Wi-Fi is not working...I keep getting the symbol refreshing. I can't turn the Wi-Fi on or off. I read "Turning Wi-Fi on..." when I go to the setting for Wi-Fi but this has been going on for 3 hours. C'mon! My Wi-Fi at home is working great; that's how I'm writing this post. Help!
To add to the misery: I keep getting a pop-up notification that reads: "Unfortunately, the android.process.acore has stopped." What is this and why does it not work. The phone's been getting this message for a week now...help!
Last concern: I'm still not getting multimedia texts (particularly pictures). The data and Wi-Fi were on...well, that's when the Wi-Fi was working (please refer to complaint #1 above). What the heck?
This phone is terrible news and I can't wait to replace it. In the meantime, the phone needs to work. Help.
-Salo

We certainly want to clear up all the confusion and have a working phone in your hands, srodezno. Let's take this one issue at a time:
1. How long ago did this trouble with WiFi start? Are you able to connect to any alternate WiFi signals other than the one at home?
2. Do you get that notification when you access anything in particular? Did it begin when you updated or installed any application?
3. Are you still able to access other data services (web, apps, Play Store, etc) while the WiFi is off/not working? Are you able to send the MMS messages?

What is "ndat", and why does it want to connect to 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port?

Whenever I connect to any wireless hotspot, LittleSnitch (a program that reports any ingoing/outgoing connections) says: "ndat wants to connect to 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port 2560 (labrat)". If I click "allow" the connection works fine, if I deny the connection, the internet doesn't work. Does anybody have any idea what this is?
I just want to make sure I'm not inadvertently allowing my data to go through some connection and be vulnerable, etc.

I thought about that, but all that LittleSnitch does is report ingoing/outgoing communications. It doesn't create any. So I'm just trying to figure out what a program called "ndat" does, and what 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port 2560 (labrat) means.
Has anyone heard of any of these things on OSX?

What is maccmd and why does it want to make changes?

Everytime I reboot my macbook pro I get this message.
I always just hit cancel but I'm starting to wonder what it is. I used finder to see what program it was and found nothing. Then I googled it and searched this board and didn't find anything.
Did some malicious software sneak its way onto my macbook?
Thanks in advance.

What is "Other" and why does it take up so much space?

What is "Other" and why does it take up so much space?

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

What type of word processing does Macbook Pro offer?

I want to switch to Mac and was wondering what type of word processing does Apple have on their MBPs'.

What kind of operations is doing when DML statement is executing

i want to know what kind of operations are doing where dml sql statement is executeing - undo and redo log, index renewing, transaction log, audit log - is there some operations that i do not know ?

Intially sql goes to library cache, where it checks for syntax and sematics, once it pass throw, it generates a 16 digit hash code for that sql( for the first time this can be treated as 'HARD PARSING' and and the same sql given for 2nd time it wont do the entire process, just uses the existing #code, this is called as 'SOFT PARSING") and finally this goes to DDC where object existence and privileges are checked, once it passed all these it gets the file#,block# to fetech the blocks form datafile, and those will be fetched to database buffer cache and then to client system in such a format that we can usderstood.
Hope this makes sense to you!

What is data roaming? Does it cost extra? Why doesn't my iPhone automati...

What is data roaming? Does it cost extra?
Why doesn't my iPhone automatically connect to AT&T service? Sometimes I have to go directly to Carriers in the Settings to connect to AT&T 3G. Thank you in advance.

There is no local data roaming or call roaming in the U.S. as a subscriber with AT&T. Wherever AT&T has coverage in the U.S. is included.
AT&T does not own all the towers in the areas where they have coverage in the U.S. AT&T calls this "off net usage"
The following was copied from AT&T's wireless service agreement.
+If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carrier networks ("off-net usage") during any two consecutive months exceed your off-net usage allowance, AT&T may, at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers' coverage or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for off-net usage. Your off-net usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan. AT&T will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the agreement.+
