Why does Windows do this...

On my Windows Server 2012 i had three seagate barracuda 3TB disks installed in a software raid-5. I gave them the letter E:.
I started copy files from single disk to the more secure raid-5 disk and this morning i saw some strange folders appear. It was dated last night 3 am and i figured that it had to be the windows scheduled update. I do not understand why Windows does this,
it doesn't add up in logic. I had one disk removed where he did the same thing, and made all three disks to a new letter. I wanted to keep things neat and clean, now Windows is making a mess. Can anyone tell me how i can redirect this to another disk, one
that's been in there from the beginning, let's say, C: ???
The folders are empty, i tried to watch the update going, but it failed, maybe that's the reason why it leaves garbage folders...

Hi,
From the folder name I think these are temp folders for installing updates (possible display card or CPU related as folder named AMD64).
By default it will choose the largest volume for creating temp folder. For example if we downloaded a new driver for a display card, it will ask for creating a location for extract the installation folders/files - by default it will pick up the largest volume
and create a folder. In Windows Updates it creates a random folder name for extract installation files.

Hi, yes, i suggested it before that it was definately connected to the update proces, but in all my IT-training and from years experience, i never heard that Windows picked by default the biggest size disk to put their "garbage" on. (Not that i
never saw it before, but i never stood still by it, until now.) How can i change that?
I was thinking to look for it in the register, but i am not happy to change things at random. Can i fool the process? by turning, during the coming night, the biggest volume off? Maybe it remembers then to pick another useless disk or the C volume... I want
to try this last option coming night, because now it is copying shit, eh valuable zero's and one's to it.. (-:

iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why does Windows 7 not show up in System Preference's "Startup Disk"

Why does Windows 7, installed via Boot Camp, show up when you hold down the option key when booting but the drive does not show up in System Preferences under the Startup Disk icon.
As an aside Windows 7 runs perfectly on my MacBook.
- Mike

Now I found I'm not alone. My situation is similar but not exactly the same.
I recently switched from the white MacBook to latest mac mini, tried installing XP Pro not successful for some reasons then tried Win7 (build 7000). On my old macbook this worked perfectly.
Got win7 updated and picked win7 as startup disk in windows, used that for few days without going back to leopard. On just one occasion I booted with 'alt' key pressed (using a PC keyboard) I have choices of drives so I thought everything was fine. As soon as I booted into leopard I found no win7 partition in system>preference>startup disk, OMG I couldn't boot back to win7 since then. From that point onwards the 'alt' key didn't work for me. Every time only leopard can be booted.
What can I do now?
Why it was OK in macbook but didn't work on mini? Is it worth investing on a mac external keyboard just to get the 'option' key?

When I sync my ipod to add new material, sometimes itunes will automatically rearrange the song order of my pre-existing albums by number of plays. Why does it do this? And is there a way to stop it?

When I add an album to itunes and subsequently to my ipod, everything is arranged by track number of the album. Sometimes when I sync in order to add new material to my ipod, itunes for some reason automatically rearranges some of my pre-existing material by songs with the greatest number of plays to least (though sometimes it seems to be completely random). When I check itunes on my computer, everything still appears to be in order but the way it appears on the device often is in the previously mentioned disorder. Why does it do this? Is there any setting that I can adjust to make it stop because the only way I've found so far is to delete the rearranged material and re-import the cd and then re-sync. It might sound picky, but I prefer that my music be in order by track number as the artists themselves intended for various reasons the foremost being that I often listen to whole albums from start to finish and this glitch makes such problematic. I have found some settings in preferences that focus on how material is arranged but this seemed to be focused on the actual folders where the music is located on my hard drive and not the way it appears on the ipod. If anyone knows the reason it does this or has suggestions on fixing it, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

Look under system preferences on the mac at what is be controlled? Look at Mail, Contacts, Calendars. How many accounts are managing contacts? Just the cloud? the cloud and gmail? or cloud, gmail, yahoo, and exchange? If you have more than one contact account, then you will have different contact lists, if John Smith shows up in more than one of your contact lists, you will have multiple entries.
Pick a contact list that is your master, (I use iCloud), only turn on contact syncing for it. The same for your phone. Spend some time on the iCloud webset (www.icloud.com) and work on your contact list there. Clean it up, remove duplicates, etc...Changes will auto sync back to all your devices. Life gets much simplier.
Just remember, if you sync different contacts lists and a large number of people appear in your different lists, then they will appear as duplicates.

Weird Behavior. Why does Safari do this?

Please, can someone explain to me why Safari (1.3.2) hops tabs? I click a link in one tab and instead of going forward to that link, replacing this tab's contents, it jumps (not all the time but usually) to a different open tab and replaces what was there. Unless I hold the command key before clicking a link. WHY does it do this?
Any help will be greatlt appreciated. I'm about to move on to Firefox because of this weird behavior.

So I figured I would switch to flickr for photos.
Safari won't even upload in Safari!!!!
I Choose the photo. And that's it. Safari will not go to the next step in flickr either.
Both photobucket and flickr work and upload photos fine using FIREFOX.
God I'm just so tired of Apple stuff not working.

Why does windows have 64-bit iTunes but not mac?

I can't believe it. I searched the archives here and someone said because most people don't have 64-bit compatible machines. Then why does Windows get separate versions but not the native OS?
I'm running audio hardware optimized for 64-bit (drivers) but the sound quality of iTunes is worse in 64-bit than in 32-bit.
Anyone have any knowledge when 64-bit is going to be released?

iTunes is only 32 bit for Windows OS and Mac OS.
The 64bit version for Windows simply includes 64 bit drivers. The application itself is only 32 bit.

Why does Illustrator open this file incorrect (coloured polygon becomes uncoloured)

I have an eps file that opens incorrect in Illustrator (CS6, CS4, 10 I tested). I wonder why this happens. The path seems to be complex, but Photoshop and Distiller converts/opens this file correct. So this seems to be a bug in Illustrator. I ca send you the file.
How can this be solved?
Patrick.

Please explain me where I can put my file? Can I email it to you? Can I upload this to this forum?

Combobox in array--why does it work this way?

I have attached a snippet of a subVI I'm using to initialize the items and set the values of comboboxes in an array. I modified it slightly so the array being referenced is on this block diagram, not a top level diagram. It took me a while to come to this solution; before I had the combobox part in a for loop and was trying to loop through each array element, get a reference to that element, and set the strings[] and value properties but it was acting all wacky. Then I changed it to the way below and it automatically populates all the comboboxes with the correct values, and then sets their values each to be different (which is what I want!) My question is, why does it work this way? I understand all elements in an array need to be the same (although I did find a work around here.), but the part about setting the values to each be different I was trying to do manually with a property node and a value property, when I realized the combobox just handles it all itself. Is this just a feature of a combobox in an array I need to note for future reference?
edit: I noticed the testers array reference label changed, so hopefully it's still referencing the same control. You may need to relink it.

You cannot get a reference to an individual element in an array control. The ArrayElem reference will always refer to the same control regardless of what array index is visible. This isn't specific to a combo-box, every array works like this.
I have not tested it lately but as of the time of this Nugget I found that it will point to the top left visable array element.
The ArrayElem property always returns the same reference no matter which element of the array is in the top-left corner, as demonstrated by the code below (screenshot instead of snippet to avoid mangled references and property nodes).
Yes that is true but the value returned when using a property node >>> value will return the top left displayed value. In the code included in that Nugget, I set the size of the control such that it only shows a single element then by manipulating the index control I can raed each element in the array.
At least that is how it behaved back in the day of that nugget.
Yes, my wife left me home alone with a case of beer and LV to find that tidbit. I suspect that feature will one day disapear without anyone noticing.

HT3728 Base station error, air port utility was unable to find my airport device. Why does it say this when it recognizes my airport on the computer? Yellow light has been on

Base station error, air port utility was unable to find my airport device. Why does it say this when it recognizes my airport on the computer? Yellow light has been on

On the older version of the AE you can still use older airport utility.
But once you load the new one you cannot easily go back.. you can load an older 5.6 version though.. instructions below.
For 6.3 you need to run ipv6 local link.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

My iPhone 5 gets so hot it's to the point were I can't hold it. Why does it do this?

I figured it out! We have a modem (the new one that was given to us when we signed up with Comcast) and a wireless router. The network names on the two are different, so I called Comcast and they confirmed that the new Comcast modem puts out a wireless signal and that our network is connected to that one, not the old wireless router. So I checked to see if that network was available to connect to on my iPhone and it was! I entered the new password, forgot the old network, and it works!! Thanks for the suggestion to call Comcast!
