Why have i never been here

After being away from this forum, as well as the lightroom and camera raw forums, for 24-48 hours, i am no longer recognized. The discussions i started are not listed and no points have been awarded and no unanswered questions from me are listed. I do see my user name at top.
I feel stupid asking about this, but has something changed at adobe or has my computer lost my identity. My computer is unchanged. iMac i7 with os 10.6.4
I have a feeling i am going to be embarrassed by asking this question.
BE GENTLE.

Do you have multiple Adobe IDs?
If you do this may happen if you are not observant on if you are logged in or not at the Forum page (not at the top of the page whcih very well can show you as logged in).
I have 4 different Adobe IDs (don't ask, it's historical) and some of them point to the very same Adobe account that shows at top of the page, some to another. I don't dare to delete any user account as I have software registred in some of those accounts. If I am logged in as my main AdobeID via the Forum page and am inactive for a certain amount of time, it sometimes happens that the Adobe site all by itself switches my identity. I only see that when I answer something. So if you see something from me where I've been a member since 2009 that's the wrong ID. The right one is from 2002.

Why have I not been notified of Software Updates?

Two aspects of what is perhaps one general problem here.
One, I normally log into my MacBook as a non-administrator user and so don't then expect to be informed of Software Updates. If I've heard of them via MacFixit or whatever, then I know to run Software Update manually, authenticating as an administrator. Recently, however, I switched on my MacBook, logged in as an administrator and, when no notification of a software update was given to me (the administrator user has "Check for updates daily" and "Download important updates automatically" checked), decided to start System Preferences to look at the Software Update status. To my surprise, it had a message about not having been able to connect to the Internet, even though immediately after this I did have a working wireless connection. It seems that if I login as an administrator before the connection is made, Software Update terminates without having found any waiting updates. This has presumably been put there every time I've started up as administrator, which explains why I've never been notified of a software update - or alerted to this problem! Isn't this rather dangerous?
Two, I logged on today as my normal non-administrator account, got a wireless connection, and browsed the web a bit. Then I logged off and logged on again as an administrator. The System Preferences Software Update panel showed "Last check: Software update ran successfully" with a time just after my login as an administrator. I presumed that all was well, that my system was completely up to date, but decided on a whim to press the "Check now" button. Imagine my surprise when I saw that three updates, including MacOS X 10.5.4, awaited me! So, why wasn't I notified of these updates immediately I logged in as administrator?
How many MacOS X users are there out there who, because of this behaviour, not having applied updates - even security updates - manually, have insecure unpatched systems? If the problem is widespread, shouldn't someone be alerting Mac owners to the need to keep our systems updated?

Fortunately the Mac environment doesn't suffer from major security flaws that need urgent patching (contrary to the implication in the Mac help file) and so there is little drama in delaying updates. I personally do not install updates until some time after release so that any bugs can hopefully be ironed out.
However that doesn't address why your software update is not doing its job. You could look at this page to see whether it is any help:

Why is the new ios7 alarm clock snooze button right beside the off botton? Seriously have we not been here before

New ios7 alarm snooze button right beside off button. This will cause me problems . Will hit off a often as I hit snooze. Taught this was sorted on ios6 .

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Why have my pictures been rotated after sync?

picture taken in 'normal' iPhone position (portrait) are downloaded and viewed in the same position on my mac. so far so good... but when i sync the folder i put them in back to my iPhone, they have been rotated 90°. why is this and how to avoid that?

I am not sure if this will help but here is what i noticed. I took some pictures on the iPhone in portrait mode. When i sync these over to my PC they are rotated 90 degrees to landscape mode. If you think about, this is how a normal camera works - 4x6 pictures are landscape, so if you use the camera in portrait (6x4) by rotating the camera, then transferred pictures are sideways on the PC.
In windows XP, i can view the pics in explorer in thumbnail view and right-click -> rotate-right
Interestingly enough, when i got a pic emailed to me that was taken in portrait mode by regular camera, and then rotated so it looked portrait on the screen on a pc (6x4), the iphone saved it as a 4x6.
So it seems that the PC assumes images transferred in should always be displayed as in a landscape mode unless rotated. And the iPhone exhibits the same behavior - an email image in portrait mode saved to the iPhone is saved as a landscape (this ***** as rotating the phone, rotates the image, so it is always sideways). And this holds for synced images. If i take a picture with the iPhone in portrait mode, copy it to the PC where it is sideways because it is displayed in landscape, and then sync it back to the iPhone (without rotating it), the iPhone displays it sideways (landscape mode).
The real solution is to be able to rotate and save the pic on the iPhone.

Why have my emails been blocked from downloading?

The email below was sent to me saying I have been automatically removed from the CCLIST1 list (Calorie Count Monday) as a result of repeated delivery error reports from my mail system and indicating my email account does not exist and that I may be permanently unable to receive emails on my OS and iOS devices.
This is the second time in three months it has happened. At that time I couldn't find any help on the web or from computer-savy friends regarding how and why it happened or how to rectify the situation. After a week or two my email was permanently blocked and I had to change my email address and contact a couple hundred people and businesses with the new address -- many hours were spent doing this. I could still read my emails and send them on my service provider's website, CenturyLink. This was very helpful as many of the web accounts I had required email address verifications before they would accept account information changes.
My internet/email service provider tried to help by having me redo setting up the Mac Mail account on my iMac. That didn't work. I also went online to Apple to again use the method for resetting the Mail account as well as look for answers.
I received the email below yesterday, so hopefully I have some time to solve the problem before my email is blocked from downloading to my devices.
Any advice and step-by-step directions on rectifying this problem would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bonnie

I read a few more discussions on this problem elsewhere on-line with the suggestion that I had a bug on my computer that hijacked my email account to send emails elsewhere (not that I had any clue on how to discover that on my computer).
I followed the suggestion to access my email account on-line and change my password and make it stronger. I did that and was able to get my emails downloaded to my computer and other devices.
I'm pretty sure that my original problem started when I unsubscribed from the Calorie Counter on-line newsletter by pressing a link at the bottom of the email I received from them. A screen came up that said I was unsubscribed and then disappeared in a flash.The experience seemed odd and weird compared to other times when I've unsubscribed from something.
As a test I resubscribed to the newsletter and then unsubscribed. I was directed to one of CCounter's internal web pages and went through a couple of steps in order to finish the process... all very professional and obviously on the newsletter's website.
So the lesson I learned was have a strong password for my email and change it occasionally. And do the same for other accounts that are password protected.

Is there some reason why I've NEVER been able to burn a CD/DVD?

This is my third Mac. My wife's on her second. Since we got our first one in 2003, we have NEVER managed to burn a CD or DVD. Not once. Not one single time. There's always an error (usually some cryptic error like "error -256" or something).
So we reckon either there's something wrong with Apple's hardware or software, or else we're pretty dumb.
I just tried to copy my install media to a DVD, and I saw this..
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2446/36140144528888c459c1o.jpg
It's rather annoying, after five or six years of trying.

OK, I tried. All of the following screenshots are in French, 'cos I'm French, but you'll get the idea..
I set Finder to ask me what to do when a blank CD / DVD is inserted..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yitzhakgoldstein/3614169759/
In Finder, I click on the blank DVD (you can't see it in this shot, but it's at the bottom of the left-hand pane)..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yitzhakgoldstein/3614169765/
I drag the *.dmg into the DVD's Finder window ..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yitzhakgoldstein/3614169767/
I click on "burn" (which is "graver" in French) ..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yitzhakgoldstein/3614169773/
It asks me to name the disk. I choose "Leopard" ..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yitzhakgoldstein/3614169777/
It prepares the data ..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yitzhakgoldstein/3614169779/
... and then it spits out the disk and tells me this..
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yitzhakgoldstein/3614988986/
Error code 0x8002006D
Understand that we're talking six years of trying to burn disks, and I have NEVER managed to do so. I do backups to a USB stick, and to an old SD camera card, which I have in a reader.
It. Just. Does. Not. Work.
Ever.
And it never has. Four Macs, zero disks created.
(PS no, this is NOT a troll, I am deadly serious)

OMG! Why have I never heard of this befo

OK, i've only been in the forums for a short while, and I have been reading a lot stuff about iRi'ver, a product i've never heard of before... So i decided to check it out..........AND **bleep**! That is one fine Jukebox. Take the iRi'ver H320 for example, its the one that I want!!!! Everything i look for inside an MP3 player, and you know what, the software was designed by Bill Gates (Microsoft). Can any of you tell me something that is bad about iRi'ver to make me feel better. (This is also $0 cheaper than my Zen Touch with a built in radio!!!) It also has image viewer, smaller, dual optional power supply...
I am totally blown away by the features and price.... I think I'm about to cry T_T

Why have my bookmarks been turned into Bing Searches for those sites? Why do I get a Bing Search when I manually type in the address?

Ever since I installed FireFox 4, I seem to have lost the function of my bookmarks. They simply open up Bing Searches for those sites. I don't even like Bing, why does it keep getting installed into my Firefox?
When I type in the address manually into the address bar (NOT the search bar), I get a Bing Search for the address as well.

I think an add-on has hijacked your browser. If this started with Firefox 4, are you sure you installed the official package from http://www.mozilla.com/ ?
In past threads similar to this, people mentioned a Zugo Search Bar, but I haven't dug into it deeply.
First, make a backup of your Firefox settings for safekeeping: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does running Firefox without add-ons fix it?
If so, you could disable them all and then gradually restore the ones that are most valuable to you.
If not, there might be some external software intercepting Firefox's communications.

Why have my playlists been multiplied?

My family has recently started using iCloud and my MacBook and my iPad are both synced with it. I created a playlist on my iPad and even though I have now deleted it it has also shown up in my library on my MacBook, except it has been duplicated a lot. I think this is what is slowing down my iTunes, because ever since this has started it has taken forever to start up and then it becomes non-responsive after a little while.

I feel like a bit of an idiot, sorted this problem myself!
Somehow, and i have no idea how, i managed to uncheck/untick all 114 songs on the playlist that didnt appear to transfer to my iphone or my ipod.
Having seen this by accident i rechecked/ticked them and would you believe it, all is well again!
My faith in Apple is restored, my faith in my IT skills is a little dented.

I have not receved an email since Friday April 5th. No changes to settings.

I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Why have random reminders been added to Calendar v8 appointments?

Have macbook pro 8,1 (early 2011) with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4 GB memory. Updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on 11/17/14. Issue with Calendar v8. Generally set 1 day and 2 hour reminders for most appointments but now have random reminders on every appointment that are based on specific dates and time. Also, upon opening calendar defaulted to correct day and month but in 2013. Not sure exactly when problem started but can attest was not experiencing problem as of 11/15/24.

I don't understand the move to separate lists of To Do items apart from the iCal.
It has been made consistent with the way it is on OS X computers and iOS mobile devices.
Also, it no longer seems possible to add a due date to these items.
It is. Just click the Details button on the right (same as clicking the i button on your Mac)

Why have Link previews been moved to the bottom of the page? I have a toolbar on my my site and my users cant see it because the link preview is obscuring it...

Well as I can see from other questions asked people are already aware that when you hover over a link the link preview appears at the bottom of the page instead of the status bar.
Other people have said to install https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
Well thats fine for me to do that but what about the users who come to my site and cant see my toolbar at the bottom because the link preview (with a long URL) is obscuring it? I cant tell them to go and install an addon, what bright spark thought of this I find it very disrupting.

As far as I know, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ the Classic Theme Restorer add-on] is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.
# Install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
# On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
# Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
# Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
# Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
* Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
* Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
* Press F5.
* Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

I have never been able to backup my iPhones to the iCloud, why?

I had an iPhone 4 and now have an iPhone 4s updated to the latest iOS. To date I have never been able to back it up my iPhones to the iCloud. I have been thru all the iPads and now have the newest iPad and have never had problems backing that device up to the iCloud. They both share the same content, music, apps etc. My iPhone will get halfway and just stops saying it couldn't complete the back up, but gives no reason why...very frustrating especially for the high regards I have for the dependability of Apple products. Guess I can't post pics, so here are the details..It gets to 1 minute remaining then stops. The message says " last back up could not be completed".. Last back up "never". On the next screen it shows my iPhone and iPads combined storage of 2.2GB. My iCloud space say 2.7GB available of 5.0 on iCloud. Any ideas?

What do you mean by this? Did you restore the phone from an iCloud backup? Did you configure your iCloud account on the replacement phone? Was the original backed up or synced to iCloud to begin with?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
