Why does the printer suddenly wake up and make noises and the tray moves but not printing?

It behaves as if it is about to print something but nothing there to print. It is connected wirelessly. It is rather eerie.
This question was solved.

Some printers will wake themselves up on a regular basis to calibrate the print heads or to clean the toner components.
You usually can't entirely disable this feature because it's an important way to maintain the printer health. Depending on the printer you can sometimes change how often this maintenance is done.

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

HT1476 why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???

why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
and why is clock not available on ipad????

Because that is a decision the Apple made. You can get the battery percentage (within 5%) by using a free app such as BatteryLife Lite, but it will not show the percentage on the top of your screen.

Why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

why does the mouse move erratically in PSE 13?

I'm getting the same thing. This is the second major problem I've had with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13. They just corrected the first problem where there was a "default printer" error coming up when printing. This is ridiculous.
My mouse freezes erratically when I click on the main drop down menu. It works okay when editing photos. The mouse just acts erratically on the Main drop down menus. My suspicion is the new update that fixed the default printer error has caused this issue. I am really hoping someone from Adobe is viewing this forum. It took 3 months for Adobe to fix the printer issue. I hope this isn't the case with this issue.

Why does the highlight feature seem not to work about 1/2 the time in various ibooks. I'm trying to take notes and about 50 pages into a book the highlight feature stopped working.

I've long noted that the highlight feature in ibooks is clunky and fairly limited in it's note-taking features, but the last two books I've read I've had trouble getting the highlight feature to work at all. I click and drag over text and nothing happens. I try with command depressed and nothing happens. If I double click a bunch it will eventually highlight one word, but nothing more. What gives?
Also, not to be snarky, but why can't I seem to find a button that would read text to speach for me? How do blind people use this service, or illiterate, or dyslexic, or people like myself who can learn far more from hearing then from reading.
And why does the text of a book often render so that it's haf cut off of the page?

There is a button for speech within the iBooks menu. Edit > Speech. You might be better off buying Audiobooks. You can get them from the iTunes Store or Audible.com

Why does the black iPhone 5 not have a front mic?

I noticed that the white iPhone 5 has a front mic while the black does not. How come?

What you're NOT seeing on the black model is the proximity sensor which is to the left of the earpiece/speaker if the phone is viewed from the front. This is visible on the white model but not the black model.
The mic is apparently contained within the earpiece/speaker hole. See the following .pdf file (you need Acrobat Reader installed to view) and zoom in to the front view.

Why does the new firefox sync not sync my bookmarks on my Iphone? The history and tabs show up, but bookmarks do not.

Ever since I updated to the new Firefox sync my bookmarks have stopped showing up on my iphone Sync for Firefox. I even downloaded the Apollo browser, but bookmarks still are not showing. Can someone help?

Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync, so whatever you're using on the iPhone for Sync will need to be updated to be compatible with the new Sync.

Why does the new CVI adapter not put the contextCVI parameter?

Hi,
With good old 2.0 prototype you could not specify arguments and you always used the parameters tTestData and tTestError. Now, with the TS3.x the recommended prototype is the new one.
If I specify the standard prototype it puts some arguments which the sequence context is not one of them.
The question is why?
1) Don't you always need it? Is there a way to get the context from within the CVI code? Isn't the idea of the context argument is to be able to get/set information from the TS variables?
2) I read the manuals but didn't see exact instructions how to specify the context as an argument. Can anybody show me how to do it? Do I need to specify it by value or by reference?
3) Isn't there a check box to include the context in the same fashion as it was in TS2.x?
4) I specify the context parameter with every TS step. Is that the proper way? Can I modify the standard prototype so it will automatically be inserted along with the other argument?
Thanks
Rafi

Hello Rafi -
I think the Action steptype will always give you a seqContextCVI pointer, but I agree that the default templates for the other steps don't. Certainly you don't 'always' need it. Especially if all you're doing is talking to hardware, doing some calculation and returning a measurement value, but it's very nice to have for various chores in TestStand.
I think in TS 3.0 rather expect you to specify it manually.It's not too hard to do once you see the trick. I looked at the Action step's default arguements before I saw how it was done, but here's the simple breakdown.
(1) create new arguement, on the right-hand side of the screen name it whatever you like.
(2) The category is 'Object, the Type is 'CVI ActiveX Automation Handle' and the Pass is 'By Value'.
(3) on the left-hand side of the screen, assign it the value 'ThisContext' as usual, and you're all set.
If you build your functions manually in CVI you'll just include the parameter "CAObjHandle seqContextCVI" and use it just like you used to.
Other options might be... I know there's still a button on the Module tab of CVI steps to allow you to create a TS 2.0 style prototype with TestData and TestError...
Or, Yes, you can also modify the default template that comes with TestStand, but the software will likely complain at you for changing the settings on a NI steptype. If you want to explore this route, you need to add your seqContextCVI parameter in two places. Once to the actual template file at (TestStand Root dir)\CodeTemplates\User\NumericLimitCVI, and once to the type definition of the step you want to change. For example, use the Type Palette to find the Numeric Limit type and right click on it to alter it's properties. The tab you'll want to investigate is 'Code Templates'and then the template for CVI.
I hope this helps!

Why does the Adobe Help Manager not close?

I'm not sure what the "Adobe Help Manager" (silly name) is. I notice it as an open application in my toolbar (Windows 7) but you cannot close it. It just stays there. Only goes away when I've restarted my system. Any ideas or comments?
Generally speaking, I'd like to comment that many of the current Adobe programs (including CC) are not nearly as intuitive as they should be. One wastes quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to accomplish rather obvious functions. Usually will have to go online to find an answer. Should be more obvious and clear. The interface of CC (for uploading work files) seems a "clean" design. Yes, clean... and unintuitive.

It's been weeks since I've used the file upload 'cloud' function of Creative Cloud, but I do recall I had to seek out numerous youtube videos, as well as some from Adobe's site, to try and figure out how it worked. Dragging and dropping seemed like a very obvious function, but you have to select: Actions: Download, etc. etc. It's a clunky, dispiriting interface.
So... I just started using google drive instead. I can quickly drag and drop. I work on a PC and a Mac and don't have a shared drive between them (due the usual platform issues) so I like uploading to a cloud server and transferring between the two machines that way. Very nice to compare how the two different systems are displaying an html doc or a photoshop file.
While the wind is at my back, I really like CC as to the software options, but it is a very daunting experience to consider learning new programs. It's taken me fifteen years of work to be as proficient as I am with PS (as a photographer and designer). I still find Dreamweaver very difficult and obscure in so many ways. I'm sure that's why you created Muse... but I will not take the time required to learn and new program. It's just a face. Remember in the Matrix when you would learn a huge amount of technical knowledge just by plugging into something? That's what we need (ha ha).
Now that Adobe is doing away with the distributive disc system for software programs, perhaps the next great leap is the discontinuation entirely of massive software progams themselves. Have no idea how this would happen, but I think patience is coming to an end for learning huge new software programs. Seems like such a relic of the past now.
Wish Adobe would bring designers more into how their programs work. They all seem to be designed by software engineers, and thus the truly disheartening style of the menues, opening into dozens of submenues, basements, dark vaults, etc. etc. The Adobe interfaces are all uniform now, but it's an old look that goes back almost ten years. Hope the creatives can soon lead to a new approach.

Why does the correct return address not show up on outgoing messages?

Hello,
Specs:
Windows NT
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.1
iPlanet Directory Server 4.13
One user recently went through an account change (spam reasons).
old uid: bob
old email: [email protected]
new uid: bsmith
new email: [email protected]
The problem is, that during testing, any email sent from the new account is arriving as having both the <Return-path> and <From> fields with the old email address.
Keep in mind that this is not a client-specific problem as everything has been changed correctly (outlook) If an email goes from "Clients computer" >> "3rd party smtp server" >> "Hotmail" or the like, it shows up as having the correct return address.
But the pickle I'm in, is that if an email goes from "Clients computer" >> "3rd party smtp server" >> "Our Server" , it shows up as having the OLD return address. - same thing if messages are sent internally (same server) through the webmail interface. The messaging server is somehow rewriting the email field when any message goes through it.
What makes this a super-pickle is that this is a NEW account., not just a 'change' of the old one. The old account has been deleted, and the command 'imadmin user purge' doesn't find it, nor is there any reference to the old 'bob@' address in the ldif file except for an address book entry or two (other users have added 'bob' into their address book)
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance. Sorry for the long description, but now all the bases I've covered are known.
Sincerely,
Josh

Jay,
I only mentioned SIMS 4.0 because I jumped directly from that to MS 6.0p1, and because what my customers wanted to do worked on SIMS and doesn't on MS6.
To complicate things more, my customer has multiple domains, but not all employees have e-mail addresses in both domains. For example, Joe is [email protected], Jane is [email protected], and John wants mail sent to either [email protected] or [email protected] to come to him.
I dealt with this by setting up abc & xyz as separate domains, and created a mailing list in xyz.com named "john" with an external member of [email protected] While this works fine, when I add an alias to that mailing list of "[email protected]" and John tries to send a message with "[email protected]" in the From, it is rewritten to [email protected] as that is his primary e-mail address.
In looking at the LDAP entries of mailing lists that are not working as I'd like, I see that the aliases are specified as mailAlternateAddress attributes. Are you saying that if I change these to MailEquivalentAddress attributes that they will then show up in the From unchanged?
Oh, and one more possible factor - they are sending mail using SMTP AUTH as they are roving users. Since the mail server knows that the authenticated user is truly [email protected], is that why his From of [email protected] gets nuked?
Thanks,
Bill

Why does the displacement effect is not appearing on my adobe muse effects menu?

I have seen tutorials about the displacement effect but when i open the effects menu, it doesnt appear, and I dont know why, can someone help me with this issue please

I think you may be referring to Scroll Effects. The Scroll Effects are now located in their own panel. From Muse's Window menu, choose 'Scroll Effects' to display the panel with all the options.

Why does (the object "move" is currently not availible) dialoge box pop up when I run action script?

when I run actions in CS6 it does nothing close to what Ive recorded , "move" dosnt work, "reflect" dosnt work ,"copy" dosnt work ? and when I record simple moves it places shapes in compleately different areas then where I recorded them Ive try'd breaking the set up into the smallist possible actions ,with function keys and without . Ive try'd reconfigureing all types of presets in all sorts of combo's its driveing me nuts can anyone esplain ?!?!?

my first command is "open" and it opens my file my second command is copy and the first dialog box opens and states that ( the object "copy" is not currently available ) and as long as its still in the clipboard from building the action after i hit continue it pastes the two objects it said the copy wasn't currently available for ...if the clip board is loaded with other stuf two of those pop up instead, next command is rectangle tool witch seems to work but where I record it is not where it shows up when i play back its in different areas everytime time i play back ,then the next command is shapemodes "crop" function witch cropped ounce then not but left the object i was cropping in lines view instead of pixel preview and rite now it just has the rectangles i made appear with solid white and a black stroke but when i recorded my little rectangles were clear with a small black stroke they're also way off to the side on playback ,then the second dialog box pops up and tells me that the object (?)"reflect" is also currently unavailable but it doesn't matter because they're white anyway's ..... any ways it goes on like that ,I have plenty of time between moves to let the program think....

Why does the song currently playing not correspond with the title

Since the latest update of iTunes when I play a CD or import it into iTunes, the song currently playing and the title shown for that song are not correct. All the songs and titles are there but they are jumbled. Any ideas? Thanks, i need all the help i can get.

There is dirt our moisture in the dock connector on the phone or the end of the cable. Or possibly a bad cable.
You can clean the connector with a dry toothbrush or wooden toothpick; inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure it is clean.

Why does the Metalink Support channel not support JDeveloper?

I submitted a TAR and got a reply from tech support
saying they don't support Oracle9i JDeveloper. The product
is payed for but not supported???

This is probably because Oracle9i JDeveloper has not gone production yet (it's still in release candidate status).

Why does the curser move across desktop without touching the track pad?

The curser has started to move across the screen without touching the track pad. There's no mouse connected. All networking connections are turned off. As the curser moves across the desktop, it opens new folders??? It will open as many as a dozen new folders before it stops at the left side of the screen and wouldn't you know it, the warranty expired last month! Any help to figure out a fix would be appreciated.
