Shqip an annoying forum bug exists that caused your reply to be hidden until now.
If your Express is still under warranty you should contact AppleCare and have them address the problem.
It is possible 2.4 GHz wireless interference is a factor. Use Apple's Wireless Diagnostics as a tool to examine your wireless environment.
You can determine for yourself whether wireless interference is likely to be a causal factor preventing reliable music streaming. To do that, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
The following authentication dialog will appear:
Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and clickContinue:
Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in helpful information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
Click Continue.
The next step will also take a few minutes:
When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you. Let me know if it is.
The WirelessDiagnostics-xxx.tar.gz file deposited on your Desktop can be dragged to the Trash, or you may wish expand it and examine its contents. It's up to you.

Why are there so many apps and wearable tech out there that specifically focuses on losing weight?

I'm under weight and would really like to see some apps for people like me who want to gain about 30 lbs!

Why are there so many apps and wearable tech out there that specifically focuses on losing weight?
Because there's a 35x bigger market for it.
Percent of adults age 20 years and over who are overweight, including obesity: 69.2% (2009-2010) - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/overwt.htm
...an estimated 1.7% of U.S. adults aged 20 and over are underweight - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/underweight_adult_07_10/underweight_adult_07 _10.htm
I suggest you type
weight gain app osx
into a search engine. I did and one came up on the top line (no idea if it is any good, you have to determine that yourself).

Why are there so many problems with 7.01 and 7.02?

Loading 7.01 and then 7.02 on both the iphone 4s and the iPad2 resulted in a complete factory restore of both the phone and the iPad. I then had to completely restore from a backup. Friends are reporting the same issue. What is happening APPLE? Is this the begining a major quality control issue? Is this what to expect with future updates?

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
Cheers, Kavango

go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV? Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Why are there so many flash updates?

Why are there so many Flash updates… I have had two in the last week and at least one more since the start of the year. It seems to have really got silly this last 12 months, is Flash really that unsecure and unstable that it needs this many fixes and updates?
I know you can tick the install in background box when updating but I like to know what is going onto my computer and given Adobe's knack of crashing my system when using PS and AI I don't really want them silently installing anything.

99% of the time the update gets prompted by Youtube or BBC when videos won't play on there sites and I follow the links through them. You would like to think that big sites like these would not allow false links to malware to crop up, but it isn't out of the question. Next stop, up to date anti virus…..
As far as Youtube goes I thought they had adopted HTML 5 now as standard and didn't rely on Flash?

Menu dropdowns dissappear. I loved FFV3 why are there so many changes to Firefox and no update works properly? Can you stick to a version and improve on that one? It seems everything is getting screwed up.

I think I covered it. I want a stable browser. I work on computers for a living and Firefox has been the proven browser for a very long time and FFV3 was the best browser on the planet. Why fix something that isn't broken. I don't know what other browser will fulfill my needs like firefox did. Why are you guys screwing around with the best browser on the planet? Get it together guys.

You could take a look at this iTunes Version History on Wikipedia if you want a feel for what goes on in each update and how frequent they are. The last few major updates have been two years apart. Most of the point updates have little impact on the way the user interacts with the software. You don't have to upgrade with each update unless you have bought or upgraded a device that now requires a newer minimum version to work with. E.g. iOS 8 requires iTunes 11.4 or later.
There are some major layout changes in iTunes 12, but by and large any task that you could do in 11 can be done in 12. For example the new Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions. If you're used to doing everything via a context menu it is going to be confusing to start with. A workaround is to hold down shift as you right-click > get info on a track selection to get the old style dialog.
Regarding the inability to delete playlists from the device I suspect you were working in the wrong context, i.e. looking at the playlists on the device in say the Music > Playlists sidebar for a device that is synced to the library. You should select the device first from the row of source icons, then Settings > Music from the sidebar, then deselect the playlist in question from the list of playlists scheduled to sync to the device, and sync.

Off-topic: why are there so many irrelevant posts here?

Why on earth are people posing questions that have absolutely no bearing on ARD? I'm trying to solve a problem with ARD and it's unbelievably frustrating to have to wade through an absolute morass of totally unrelated posts to try and find the info I need.
More to the point, why are the forum admins/mods not moving posts to the appropriate forum, where the question can be better answered?

People do not read the title of the forum or do not understand there are many forums. I have the ability to report posts and recommend relocation. I do that as time permits, but I am not, as a volunteer, treating this as a job.
The hosts/administrators do not have time to review every post for placement (staffing would not support that, I am sure).

Are there that many problems installing 10.4.3 and updating ?

I want to update my powerbook G.4 from 10.3.9 but I really need to know that should be OK..since it is really important for work....specailly under keynote. I would like to get the newer system if is more stable and I can take advantatges with it....bu I don´t want any risks....any coments or advice?
Should I do the update?

I really like your idea of clonnig....copying the
exact system into the external harddrive and update,
Should I also clone my documents or to try the new
system is just better to start from the external new
system and work on my normal documents.....and see if
everything works fine.
Standard practice is to do just that. Clone EVERYTHING. This is what Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper!, to name two well-known cloning apps, will do by default.
I have two external harddrives one at home the other
at work and everyday I do incremental back ups with
the Backup from Apple...Should be Ok I hope. So the
process is to update a clone of my system into an
external hard drive and work from it for a while and
if everything works fine update the system on the
powerbook.
That's how I do it.
My last question, when I take my poerbook
to work I will be working under system 10,3,9 and
when I arrive home under 10,4,4 on the same
documents, is that OK or I can get problems by
switching systems on the same documents....
Depends on what documents and which apps. For example, Safari and Mail will be different. Mail in particular will barf if you don't keep things consistent. It may be a pain, but booting from the external drive for a while, no matter where you are, would be best.

Why are there so many inactive processes running on my computer?, etc.

Hi,
This issue might already be addressed but my MacBook Pro has been really slow lately and when I checked the activity monitor, the inactive processes take up half of the system memory. Usually, how much space is this supposed to take? I only have the basics plus Sophos running. I've been trying to check to see what's running but sometimes some disappear and appear momentarily. In general, what's the idea or normal composition of system memory? Any help would be much appreciated.
Usually, this affects Safari which is slow when I switch between tabs, etc. Now, the browser has been quitting more frequently with the Java 10.4-.5 message appearing. What should I do to remedy that problem?
Many thanks for any input!

It is normal for there to be quite a number of inactive processes.
the inactive processes take up half of the system memory
There is some confusion in what you are asking. Are you talking about inactive memory? Inactive processes will not be using any CPU, but they may have inactive memory allotted to them. This is memory that, should another process require it, can be reallocated to that other process. It's like a kind of caching: it can quickly be drawn upon should the inactive process become active again and need it. In the meantime, it is free for any process to use. It is not being wasted or used.
Usually, how much space is this supposed to take?
You are introducing the word "space" here. I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I don't think it's applicable.
I've been trying to check to see what's running but sometimes some disappear and appear momentarily.
That is normal for Activity Monitor. I think you need to have a better understanding of Activity Monitor.
http://oreilly.com/pub/a/mac/2005/10/04/activity-monitor.html
Sophos may be slowing down your computer. You should turn off its always-on scanning feature (or whatever it's called) and just run it on demand.

Why are there so many other programs downloaded with the Adobe programs?

I have an older computer with only 10 GB harddrive. I keep getting programs that I don't want and can't use. When it asks if I want this or that program, I always check no. But many times there is no asking, it just downloads these programs that are taking up what little free space I have which is only 5%.

Business 101: Sell advertising via "sponsored downloads" = make more money.
There are direct downloads that don't have the unwanted "bundled" software.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Why are there so many updates for Adobe Flash & Reader?

It seems like I am having to update at least once a week. This is very tedious. Also, $39 to chat with someone about my issue???

There aren't that many. For instance Adobe Reader XI had updates in January, February and May, only three this year.
What there are is a great many SCAMS from people who say they want you to update, and instead fill your computer with goodness knows what.
If you aren't sure whether you have been taken in by one of these, a good thing to do is to post a screen shot of the message telling you to update (don't try to reply with a screen shot in an email, it won't work).
