Why odd behaviour with these sites?

Hi. I'm on Tiger 10.4.9 and Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). I've noticed that I get a blank screen when trying to view the "View all ads" link in the apple.com "Get a Mac" section. The tab reads "ads.gif 1x1 pixels" and the page is blank. Anyone know what's going on?
Also, when trying to view the macworld.com webpage, it has a lot of blank space before the text begins. When viewing this site via IE on a PC it displays fine. Surely a mac site hasnt been optimised for IE and not Safari?!
Anyone know why my Safari is acting like this? Thanks!

Have you tried clearing the Safari cache and Java
Plugin Settings caches?
Looks like that was the problem! Thanks!

Podcast exhibiting odd behaviour with bluetooth

Ever since updating to iOS6 / iPhone 5 i've been experiencing odd behaviour with music playback. Now that the Podcasts app is a requirement, i'm not sure if this is directly related to the Podcasts app or if it's an iOS 6 quirk.
My iPhone connects to my car's stereo head unit via bluetooth. When i start my car it automatically connects and music, phone calls, etc, are all forwarded to my car's speakers. When i would switch my car off, music would stop automatically and i'd get out of my car and go about my day.
Everything worked absolutely perfectly in iOS 5 with the 4S.
The issue now with iOS6/iP5 is that when i switch off my car and use Siri or make a phone call, after i stop using Siri or if i end my call, the Podcasts app automatically resumes playback of what ever i was listening to when i switched my car off... Essentially it blasts music at me through the internal iPhone speaker for absolutely no reason.
Here is a step by step,
1. Start car
2. Play music
3. Turn off car
4. Music automatically stops
5. (while at the office, away from my car) Use siri or make a phone call
6. When i end the call or stop using Siri, music automatically resumes via the iPhone internal speaker
Is there any way to fix this?? It's getting quite annoying to have my iPhone blast me with music in fairly inappropriate situations.

Disregard, there is a thread about it here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4346946?tstart=0
Can't see any way of deleting my thread unfortunately.

Odd Behaviour with DVDs on IMac G5 20inch 1.8 GHz

Suddenly the Superdrive DVD/CD (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-825, Firmware DBN7) shows odd behaviour.
It still reads CDs. But when a DVD is introduced, it will start "DVD Player" automatically, but then there is no hint of the disk. Neither does it show on the desktop, nore would it play. DVD Player would not eject it, but the eject button on the keyboard would.
The DVD is ok, as it would play on my Powerbook G4 without problems.
Any idea what might be causing this? - I had just performed the "Pro update"! Thanks for your help!
iMac G5 20inch 1.8 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hve you checked to see whether a different DVD will play, Bernd?
You might want to try deleting com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist from your Home/Library/Preferences folder, restarting and then seeing if it works.
Cheers

Why this odd behaviour with radio?

If I select 'Martini in the Morning' internet radio I get an error message. It just won't work. If I select a station one or two above in the list, tune in, then jump forward I get Martini just fine. Why? Can I fix it?

Have you tried clearing the Safari cache and Java
Plugin Settings caches?
Looks like that was the problem! Thanks!

Odd behaviour with parameter id on selection screen

Try this code
PARAMETERS: p_fpath1 TYPE string LOWER CASE MEMORY ID rofile,
            p_fpath2 TYPE string LOWER CASE.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_fpath1.
PERFORM get_filepath CHANGING p_fpath1.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_fpath2.
PERFORM get_filepath CHANGING p_fpath2.
*---------Forms
FORM get_filepath CHANGING x_filepath TYPE string.
DATA: l_filepath TYPE string.
cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse( CHANGING selected_folder = l_filepath ).
* If no filepath selected, leave the filepath unchanged
IF l_filepath IS NOT INITIAL.
    x_filepath = l_filepath.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
Run the program, and use F4 to choose a file path for p_fpath1 and another for p_fpath2.
Hit execute
Leave the program.
Run the program again.
Use F4 to choose the filepaths for the two parameters.
For me, it's fine for p_fpath2, but for p_fpath1, I get no directory selector. In fact, to get it working again, I have to log off and log back on.
I'd like to know if anyone else gets the same problem, and also if anyone knows how to fix it!
thanks

The issue was with the STRING VARIABLE in parameters decelaration.I just changed it to RLGRAP-FILENAME it worked.
Try these codes.

            p_fpath2 TYPE rlgrap-filename LOWER CASE.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_fpath1.

cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse( CHANGING selected_folder = l_filepath ).
* If no filepath selected, leave the filepath unchanged
IF l_filepath IS NOT INITIAL.
    x_filepath = l_filepath.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    "get_filepath
LAST ENTERED VALUE WILL ALSO DISPLAY
These codes work.

My Mac Pro (early 2008) has odd behaviour with 8800gt

Hello Apple community,
First of all, thank you for your support and sorry if I can't explain the situation correctly. I will be concrete.
I bought a Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008) 2 weeks after its launch with Nvidia Geforce 8800gt 512mb. It works awesome.
Each five-six months I open it and remove all the dust I can carefully. I am used to do it and I do not touch anything fragile.
The problem is that the screen flashes and then gets frozen everytime the Mac has to use hardware for graphics. When this happens, there are many dots and strypes moving arround with green and pink spots.
I made both picture and video: http://www.cl.ly/7dGD(pic)    - http://www.cl.ly/7d4U(video)
This happens in every place the Mac uses the graphic card (both browsers showing a youtube video, vimeo, etc... and time machine, which uses graphics for the background), everything get frozen but the sound doesn't until 1 or 2 minutes. When this happens, the only solution is to force shut down (press and holding the power button 5 secs).
The only hope I had was formatting. I thought I had something in my Mac user which could make this happen. So I formatted the Mac Pro last night. A clean install. Everything updated... but the error persists.
So...
- I thought the problem was Flash, but it doesn't. The solution I have for playing videos in browser is disabling the hardware option for Flash.
- I also thought the problem was the capture card but it doesn't because I tried everything without the card installed.
- I have formatted and the problem persists.
Something is wrong but I don't know what. I am now in the Mac and everythin works great. But the risk exists the moment I am playing a video, editing a video, in Time Machine, playing a game, and so on...
When this happens and the Mac restarts, it shows this info:

Thank you for your help

Try this:
clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
Or try a clean test system install on another drive
A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current. Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old. Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.

Safari's odd behaviour with Shockwave/Flash

Was trying to browse the European site for the new Nintendo Wii console, but finding that the links did not work in Safari.
Go to http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wii and choose UK/English as your language. This appends ?l=enGB to your URL. Then click on a link, for example "Philosophy", near the top of the page. This appends ?site=philosophy.html&l=enGB to your existing URL. That makes the whole URL http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wii/?l=enGB?site=philosophy.html&l=enGB, which is invalid, as there are now two question marks in there.
If you visit the same site in Internet Explorer, the name-value pairs are replaced, rather than appended to, which results in a valid URL.
The code for each link is
var so = new SWFObject("w_button.swf?u=philosophy.html&t=Philosophy&l=enGB", "button1", "82", "40", "7", "#ffffff");
so.write("button1");
but unfortunately, that's where my knowledge of Shockwave or Flash ends I'm afraid.
Is this a coding issue or a browser issue?

Hi m0thr4
i see what you mean
I'd guess it's a combination of coding/browser - fwiw, Camino handles the pages perfectly well on my G5/10.4.7
It's worth contacting the site owners & letting them know about this..... also consider Safari-Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu.

Odd behaviour with large(ish) wireless file transfers

Hi I'm really pleased with my playbook - brilliant device !
I do however have one general dislike ; that is for micro/mini physical connectors. They are a fact of life on many devices now so ......
Anyway. In order to minimise my use of the micro usb connector I have been copying files to it across my wlan but have experienced some difficulty.
Most recently (last night) I was copying a 230 Mb video to my playbook. At various times throughout the transfer, my computer's progress bar would pause for a goodly number of seconds then jump by about a 14 Mb increment (something buffering somewhere maybe ?) This went on until around the 210/220 Mb when my computer gave up and reported that the "connection to the device was interrupted, ignore cancel"
I tried this with a number of files and got the same (or similar) result each time.
I realise this could be down to many things but just wanted to know if anyone else had noticed something like this happening.
For info:
Playbook 2.1.0.1088
Macbook Pro mountain Lion
Belkin F57D Router.
Kind Regards

Hi there,
thanks for trying that. I guess I need to hunt a little more.

I have transferred lots of files a LOT bigger than 230Mb to the PB. Wi-Fi file transfers (and even microUSB transfers in fact) are sloooooooow by nature. I would suspect your connection to the router in your instance. I would investigate your Wi-Fi settings and adjust as required. I have had experience with this modifying something called channel width (I have posts about it here in the forums). Anyhow, that one little setting made a heck of a difference for me with throughput and general Wi-Fi stability with the PB on my network.

Odd behaviour with DataReadQuery

Hi,
I'm using a DataReadQuery for a specialized area of data retrieval within our app.
Running a unit test ("2-tier" outside of weblogic) the query fetches BigDecimal values.
Running within our weblogic environment it returns Double types.
Any thoughts as to why this might be occurring?
Thanks.
Mike

Hello Mike,
DataReadQuery is returning what it gets from the drivers, and so the differences in return types has to be due to different driver implementations. Check to make sure you are using the same JDBC driver versions inside and outside of Weblogic.
Best Regards,
Chris Delahunt

cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

If you mean updae server
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise what server are you talking about

Why would anyone buy these products that don't work with Win 8?

Why would anyone buy these products that do not work with Win8?

What are you referring to? If you have specific problems, explain them. Otherwise there's no point in posting false generalizations.

Since clearing chase, cookies and history I can NOT access my regular sites that require a password. I know these sites work with my passwaord becuse I've visited them on my other computer(s).

I was having difficulty accessing usual sites like LinkedIn.com, FaceBook.com, OKCupid.com that require a password. At one attempt to log on it was suggested that I clear all cashe, history, and cookies and try again. That made matters worse. I decided to DELETE Fire Fox 3.6.15 version and when I went to Mozilla dot com I saw this 4.0 version. I installed it and I am still having the same problems. My usual sites do not recognize my passwords. I can access these sites on other computers, just not mine. Yes, I tried using other browsers to no avail. I need HELP fast!
[email protected]

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

With the do not track feature checked I still get ads from sites visited soon after leaving these sites. What to do?

I have checked the box for do not track but get ads from sites visited after leaving these sites. These ads run parallel on the Yahoo home page. What I can I do about this?

That feature relies upon voluntary compliance to your preference by websites.

Nokia 6233 v05.10 odd behaviour

Hello!
After thoroughly searching not only this board but the entire Internet, I found no answer to my question so I decided to register and ASK.
I need to know if any of you owners of a Nokia 6233 observed this odd behaviour of your phone - so please keep reading.
I purchased the phone 16 days ago. Being my first Nokia, I took time to exploit its every feature, therefore draining the battery quite quickly. I discharged and fully charged the battery at least 3 times in the first 3 days, without leaving it plugged-in overnight (as far as I know this is no longer necessary). The battery life time increased progressively until a maximum of three days of normal use, meaning moderate talking (under 20 minutes per day), little or no use of Java apps, camera, media players or GPRS/EDGE connection. The screen savers are off, power saver is on, sleep mode is on. Packet data connection - when needed and network mode is GSM only because I do not use 3G. All these should get me the best stand-by time possible, right? Well, they did, until...
I bought a new microSD card, 2.0 GB storage, made by SanDisk. The card works fine, I put my favorite music and video clips on it - all the stuff you do when you have enough space. Since then, the battery life decreased SUBSTANTIALLY to LESS THAN 24 HOURS. And there's more. The battery drains even if the phone is turned off, in roughly the same amount of time. I have never ever seen anything like this. Sometimes the battery is so low that the phone takes a few minutes before displaying the battery charging icon and, when started, it asks for hour/date settings.
So, I need to know if anybody else noticed battery life decrease with bigger memory card capacity, and what's to be done.

Have you tried using the in-box memory card(That came with the phone) again? There's something wrong with your phone and battery if the problem still occurs..

Firefox is adding advertising links to certain words on my website cornish-surfing.co.uk, and when I open a new tab an additional window opens with unwanted sites.
1. How can I stop these things from happening?
2. Why is it happening?
These things only happen when I’m using the Firefox browser. I use Sophos antivirus and firewall and the scans indicate my system is clean. So I’m assuming that it’s built into Firefox or there’s a security flaw with Firefox.
Can you let me know which and how I can stop it from happening?

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc (certainly nothing that is shipping with a plain official firefox build).
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Why odd behaviour with these sites?
