Spotify is changing its volume by itself.

This issue has been driving me crazy for weeks. I'll be listening to music in my car, on my headphones in the house, or wherever else, and Spotify is lowering its volume slightly down (a noticable amount) and then raising it back up after 15ish seconds, AND KEEPS DOING IT. This is REALLY annoying. I just want to listen to my music at a stable volume with no fluctuations. If I need the volume lowered, I'll do it myself. If someone can please tell me how I fix this I would be grateful because I cannot find a solid answer that actually fixes the problem on the internet.

Si tenéis un problema iros olvidando de que el servicio técnico os lo solucione, ya que son literalmente unos sinvergüenzas. El otro día pague para tener una cuenta premiun y aunque me cobraron el dinero los de Spotify no quisieron darme la cuenta premiun. Es realmente una vergüenza como me atendieron y que a pesar de darle todos los datos me han ignorado durante días y aun no me responden con tal de no darme o mi dinero o la cuenta premiun.Un saludo a todos

Nice idea. Submit it to Apple (I think by now you know the link ).

File change its creation date

Mac OS 9 why my file change its creation date while copying now I have creation date year of 2040

Hi, mietko -
Not sure what might be causing that date change. As far as I know, the creation and mod dates are not in any resource fork for a file, so should be retained accurately when copied from one platform to any other.
If you altered the file after copying it (sometimes just by opening and closing it), then a new mod date matching the date on the server could easily have been set.
If you need to have the file have the correct creation date, you can probably use a utility such as FileBuddy to fix it.
However, I don't know what might be causing the problem. Is this happening to only one particular file? ...or does it affect any file you copy in the same manner?

Laptop won't let me play any video or change the brightness of the screen at all.

I got this new Laptop a few months ago and it has just recently started to play up slightly and not let me change my brightness settings at all and now it won't let me play any videos.

I got a solution
First check out your performance settings and if u dont know where to find it just right click on my computer and enter to propreties then click on performance and tools, then if the gamming and desktop aero system are 1.0 then you have three solutions.
1) Install a new windows
2) check out your computer driver and install tge latest version
3) or simply you can download DRIVER PAC SOLUTION and install it then after installation is done you might wanna restart the system and check performance again then it should desplay NEW HARDWARE DETECT REFRESH NOW then click on refreah and the rating is gonna go up from1.0.to higher than 4.0.

What are the possible reasons why I cannot reactivate using my AppleID, even though I already change its password with the help of Apple personel

What are the possible reasons why I cannot reactivate my Iphone5 using my AppleID, even though I already change its password with the help Apple personel

If the password for your Apple ID works at id.apple.com > Manage Apple ID, then it's likely that the Apple ID the device wants you use is not the same as the Apple ID you are using.
Exactly what screen are you at on your iPhone? It sounds like it is in Activation Lock.

Why do shortcuts change after an upgrade?

Dear Apple-Employees,
I like my Mac and I wouldn't trade it, but just recently bought a new one, and thus need to get used to Mavericks. I just have a very essential question that's on my mind - WHY do you change your shortcuts for e.g. Mail with the next OS?
I don't get it, but I'd really like to know your reasoning. "Send" used to be cmd+enter - WHY change to shift+cmd+D?
Thanks for letting me know
Sincerly,
Kaddy
PS: Apologies for this, but I seriously think that little shortcuts that simplify the process and have been gotten used to shoud not be changed.

hello, is the message coming from fireofx itself? if so, please see [[Firefox says it's just updated every time it starts - how to fix]]
this however may also be a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware! only download firefox from its official location at mozilla.org - in addition updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox'').
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

Satellite L855-124 can't change display brightness after Win 8 upgrade

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L855-124 PSKACE laptop.
After upgrading to Windows 8, I can't change the brightness backlight of the laptop screen.
There seems to be an error in the graphical driver.
When I install the Windows 7 graphical AMD driver under compatibility, it works again but bugs out on other areas.
Anyone have any ideas?
Even after using the upgrade assistant provided by Toshiba it does nothing.
Also the drivers for my laptop are poorly updated. Dating back to 2012.
I have also called tech support, they told me that a driver team will be fixing the issue.
That was 2 months ago.
Is there anyone from Toshiba that can help me with this please?
Thank you.

Get the active cell in a table on a mouse click, so I can change its color

Hi guys,
I am looking at a small application.
I have a table. When a user clicks on a particular cell, I need the cell coordinates so that I can change its attributes (e.g. color change) by clicking a button.
Edit position property of the table gives me the current cell coordinates, but when I click on a button, the previously clicked cell position is lost. How can I fix this problem?
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks
Ravi

Thanks for the reply. But, Iam trying to avoid using event structures for someother reason in my code. Is there a way, this could be done without event structures.
Please look at the code attached. Whenever the value in the table goes beyond 100, i want to click on the corresponding cell and then suspend it by using the suspend button, in which case the backgroud color should change to red.
Thanks
Saverio's suggestion to use an event structure is a good one so rather than exploring less efficient methods, could you please explain why you are avoiding teh use of an event structure? This will help us help you.
Just trying to help,

I have a folder from today that won't let me change its name. I can change the other folders just fine. I do it routinely... any ideas what I screwed up?

I'm as a loss. I don't understand why today's folder "2014-06-06" won't let me add "_Kim" to the end. I do it will all my folders since I download from a couple of cameras.

sorry... in PS cc and I closed Photoshop, just in case.... it didn't make
any difference and it hasn't ever been an issue before.

Why my laptop don't play my music cd auto?

Why my laptop don't play my music cd auto?

Hi,
The following only applies if you're using Vista or Windows 7, not XP.
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive will now play CDs.
If it still doesn't, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now plays CDs.
Regards,
DP-K

Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied

Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied from another project??
i have this happen all the time, I move all my media to another drive and files that originated in another project do not reconnect because they have lost there source?
Any way to fix this mess? i am in the middle of reconnecting 400 files by hand one at a time!!!
Thanks, mark

Because you changed the file path. From one hard drive to another...the hard drive name is no doubt different, and then if you have the files in different folder structures then yeah, it will lose the connection to that media.
Best thing to do is to clone your media drive, or name the other drive the same name, and keep the exact same file structure (folders in folders) as the original drive. Then you won't need to reconnect.

Every time Firefox is open and I connect my laptop to its power source, Firebox turns black.

The weird thing is, it'll still work: I can click & type stuff, change tabs, copy and paste tabs etc, but the browser will show nothing but blackness. It's not my computer, Firefox is the only program I encounter the problem with. And it only happens when I connect my HP laptop to its power source. Does anyone else encounter this problem, or know how to solve it?

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
