WHY OH WHY !

I am running OS X version 10.4.11. on a MacBook Pro and iTunes 9.2.1 (4). I have an iPhone 3g. Can't update itunes to work with iphone before i update OS X. Cant update OS X to allow itunes update.....aaaaarrrrrrrgh.......anyone know a way around this ?

There's no way around it other than to run a supported operating system. For a Mac that would be Leopard or higher. You'll find that going to Snow Leopard or Lion is easiest. Lion would give you the best compatibility with the newest iTunes features (iCloud & match).

Office 2013 RTM: STILL no true small caps: WHY? WHY? WHY?

I have just un-installed the Office 2013 Preview, and installed the Office 2013 RTM 60-day trial.
I had hoped that between the two versions, the issue of missing true small caps in Word had been addressed. But no. Whilst Word 2013 supports OpenType ligatures and OpenType stylistic sets and OpenType old-style numbers and and and, it STILL DOES NOT SUPPORT
TRUE SMALL CAPS. Yes, it has a small caps function, but this just reduces the size of the font, instead of using the dedicated small caps letters included in a lot of OpenType fonts. What's the difference? The difference is that with true small caps, the stroke
width of upper case, lower case and small caps letters match, whereas in the cheapy, flimsy, yucky version that Office only offers, the small caps letters are thinner than the normal letters of that font - obviously so, as they are merely shrunken.
Try it for yourself. Type something like "AaMmXx" in an OpenType font with small caps, say, Calibri or Gabriola, at, say, 24pt, in Word 2013 and in Publisher 2013, and apply small caps in each, and print them. Compare the stroke widths. See what I mean?
Publisher does true small caps. Word doesn't.
So, why, Microsoft, why, oh why, oh why, when other typographical features (ligatures, stylistic sets, etc. etc. & so 4th) are supported in Word 2013, are small caps not? I just don't understand it. Why? Are small caps held to be something that only
professional typesetters should be allowed to use with typesetting programs like Publisher, whereas ordinary folk with Word shouldn't? Or is it trick to boost sales of Puiblisher? Or did no-one think about it? What is it? Because it's very annoying!

Well, in the second place, inserting characters via Insert Symbol is a pain in the posterior, and, of course, the spell checker doesn't recognise them. But in the first place, that only works if the font author has been thoughtful enough to give the small
caps glyphs Unicode code points, say, in the Private Use Area (like in Calluna). Normally, however, they don't - the small caps glyphs are only accessible via a small caps function, as lacking in Word. Excel is worse - apparently, Microsoft think that OpenType
advanced features ought not to be used in spreadsheets.
So having found fonts with small caps, the only way to use them is to use a font program either to assign the small caps glyphs to PUA code points, or to put them in a separate font (which at least means that other applications and spell checkers can use
them).

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

XAML Namespaces - Why Oh Why Is it "using:" Instead of "clr-namespace"?

Something's been bugging me for awhile now. I'm writing an application with both a Windows Runtime version as well as a WPF version for legacy users (sorry, but Win8 just doesn't have enough marketshare yet!)
Thanks to PCL and MVVM, I can re-use 90% of the C# code. Yippiee!
But the XAML is another story, and a HUGE part of that is the fact that in Windows Apps, identifying a XAML namespace requires "using:namespace.name" whereas in WPF, it's "clr-namespace:namespace.name"
I would be able to share a huge proportion of my XAML files between my two app versions if not for this seemingly arbitrary difference between the two platforms.
Why oh why was this done this way? Is there some technical reason MS does not wanting us sharing XAML files between platforms? Is there some best practice I'm violating by trying to do this?
By the way, for those who are interested, there is somewhat of a workaround. On the WPF side, if you keep your user-controls entirely in a different module (and they never refer to each other in their own XAML files), you can use XmlnsDefinition to
define your module's XAML namespace as anything you want. So I can actually then refer to the uc's namespace as "using:namespace.name." That way it compiles properly both in the WPF and Windows App projects. That is indeed what I've been doing and
now I'm sharing 90% of XAML as well.
Still, why oh why? Really, I'm not just trying to troll here. If there's a technical reason this was done and more importantly if there's a good reason I should not be attempting to share XAML code between WPF and App projects, I'd definitely like to know
Thanks much.

The thread I was thinking of is at
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/7f492c62-4844-40e6-960c-27cbf076b812/how-do-we-file-a-change-request-on-the-xmlns-in-winrt-xaml?forum=winappswithcsharp
The UI design of WPF and of Windows Store apps is generally different enough that there wouldn't be a large overlap in Xaml. You'll generally want different layouts, many of the standard controls are different, and there are several other Xaml
features which differ between WPF and Windows.UI.Xaml.
It would be very useful to be able to share Xaml for custom controls and UserControls, and conditional compilation (#ifdef) for Xaml is a frequently heard request (although I don't see that obviously on
http://wpdev.uservoice.com , but I may just be failing at search).
I know some people do pre-processor tricks to fake this at the expense of being able to use the designer, but it's neither supported nor something I've looked into deeply.

Why, google, why? [solved - kind of]

let me preface by saying this is not a discussion about google and its practices, i dont want to start some kind of argument about privacy/paranoia
here is my situation. I want to be able to open firefox, go to x.y.z webpage, and not have google loading for no reason. let me describe what happens now.
- open firefox (no homepage, no search box, no extensions). netstat shows me no open connections. so far so good.
- visit archlinux, opens up "archlinux.org" (and lets say netstat shows me a connection to "archlinux.org" (I know that's not the actual server name)). so far so good.
- a few seconds into this, i see this:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State User Inode PID/Program name Timer
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.100:48738 iy-in-f100.google.c:www ESTABLISHED user 19146 3204/firefox-bin off (0.00/0/0)
ok so there's an open outgoing connection to google. why? ok, i'm assuming (big assumption here based on other similar forums) that it has something to do with ads, or the search engine, or whatever. I add the following to /etc/hosts:
# [Google Inc]

(sorry if this seems wrong to some of you, this is my choice). I also have noscript blocking everything it can on firefox. close firefox, wait for all connections to close (60 seconds from what i've seen). then run netstat again with the command
netstat -utoceewp (as root, though i dont think you need to be root)
the command above shows me the status/keep-alive timer of the connection. well, the google connection has its timer set to off (which i take it to mean a persistent connection). Why?
I close firefox, wait for all connections to close. Ok, no connections again (other than ntp/smtp, not related to the discussion).
ok, let's assume that the open google connection is something to do with forum software, etc. fine. I create a webpage on my own host, with absolutely nothing connecting to other sites. netstat again shows the connection to my host, and closes after no activity. this is how it should be. I close the tab and go back to a blank start page. a few seconds later, as I check netstat (which is in continuous mode per the command above), i see a new connection open:
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.100:48738 iy-in-f100.google.c:www ESTABLISHED user 19146 3204/firefox-bin off (0.00/0/0)
huh?? nothing is loading, no other network programs are open (again other than ntpd and mail are open, not using gmail). sometimes i see this when i just open firefox with no webpage, after a few seconds of letting it sit there. why, google, why??
so short of blocking google altogether, or disconnecting my network after loading each webpage I want (is there perhaps a firefox extension that does this? a "kill all connections" extension? ), can anyone explain what this is all about?
i've tried googling (!) but cant find anything about this (surprise surprise!). Before you start calling me paranoid and overly worried about nothing, this is not about anything other than i want to have as much control as i can over what connections my computer opens to the world. and i wouldnt have that much of an issue with it if there wasn't that strange connection opening when there are no webpages open and firefox is just sitting there doing nothing.
can anyone verify? or better yet, can anyone tell me how to stop this? Thanks!
[edit] forgot to mention, I have searched for that host, and it is part of the google server farm, so it is an outgoing connection from firefox as noted in netstat, to google, for no reason that appears obvious to me. and arch is pretty good, i was mainly using it as an example, as the google connection doesnt open from the arch servers (as far as i can tell it seems almost random unless i visit a webpage with obvious google tools/search boxes (or google itself obviously))

hi,

Now it takes same space and the quality is the same as the original.
Thank you!

Why or why not single-host installation?

Hi friends,
I'm collecting your opinions and experiences here... :)
Why or why not to install complete, i.e. both Infra and Mid-tier, AS release 2 on a single host? -does it not basically come down to hardware configuration? (if the cpu and RAM is "good" enough, then no problems)
And multi-host installations is mostly for expansion and segmentation reasons?
Thanks,
Fredrik

In my experience the reason NOT to do a single host installation is performance.
I tried doing a single-host installation on an NT box running dual Pentium 500mhz processors and 1GB of ram. Everything seemed to work just fine. The infrastructure went in one Oracle home, the app server went in another. All of the admin functions took forever. The EM website was a complete pain to use. The machine clearly was short on memory and short on CPU.
Keep in mind the infrastructure installation includes a complete application server, it's own instance of the Oracle database, plus a bunch of additional adminstration specific bits. It's a lot of stuff. The application server installation duplicates a lot. You end up running two instances of Apache, a bunch (5-10) instances of the J2EE container, etc.
The good news (for us anyway) is that the infrastructure installation can also be used to manager Oracle databases. It's instance of the Oracle database is the repository for the admin data. We were going to set up an dedicated box for Oracle Enterprise Manager anyway for our new 9i databases. So putting the infrastructure on it's own box ends up causing us no grief at all. Also we plan on running 4 instances of the app server (for various sites we have around the world). So again having the infrastructure on it's own box really makes sense for us.
To sum up, in my limited experience the single-host solution worked just fine (though it was not used in a production setting) but if you go that way you'll want a beefy box.

Why? Why can't I run iMovie and have it

Why? Why can't I run iMovie and have it ask me whether I want to load an existing project or new one? I don't see a setting for this in Preferences.
thanks

I haven't gone to the trouble of actually testing to see which uses more CPU power, but Firefox has been faster than Safari on every Mac I've ever owned.
To see CPU usage by process, open the terminal (in Utilities) and enter 'top' at the command line. You might have to expand the window as processes don't appear in any logical order.
It could also be hardware-related: I have late 2009 mini with similar specs and it pinwheels easily.

Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors?

Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors in the new Aperture update? I used those colors to organize my workflow.
Everything is Greyscale now. Isn't Photography all about colors? If I wanted a greyscale user interface I would have bought a PC ...

It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See these links:
Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?

Who uses Final Touch SD in conjunction with FCP? Why? Why not?

Who uses Final Touch SD in conjunction with FCP? Why? Why not?
LM

It is my understanding that Final Touch is much faster than daVinci.
You are in error...
Depends on the operator and the machine. With a DaVinci you are going tape to tape and the colorist is coloring each shot. When they are done, then they press play and all their settings apply in real time as the tapes roll.
With Final Touch, you have to render your final product after you do all the coloring. Typically the render will take longer than it takes a tape to play, depending on the machines processor power. But still, 4-5 hours for a 30-60 minute show...darn slow. If you had the same colorist on both, Final Touch would be slower.
BUT...the advantage is that you color BEFORE you go to tape. So doing your texted and textless outputs are darn easy.

WHY OH WHY NO HTML SUPPORT MAIL 5.1????

Guys
First of all well done on Lion. It is a geat looking OS and I personally LOVE IT.
I must however askk wht for the sake of not having to run MS on my mac is there still no support for HTML mails in mail for mac 5.1?
The ONLy reason I am running office 2010 for mac is for HTML mails. Now I know you can pull out your mad HTML skill to code a message as HTML ,but in the world we live in that is not always possible.
Please guys shed some light on this.
Arthur

Why have questions when they're not answerable? You're not talking to Apple, and even if you were, you wouldn't be talking to anyone who could comment on the question of why Mail does not have a WYSIWYG HTML editor built into it. That seems to be all you're asking.
Now, if you are looking for solutions, you can always compose your message in the HTML editor of your choice, load it up in Safari and then choose File -> Mail Contents of This Page. Be aware, though, that Outlook copes extremely poorly with HTML e-mail.

I'm not degrading AT&T at all, I just want the new Pre, and just like NOT being able to try an I-Phone, I can't try the Pre!
I was a die-hard Palm Treo user for 5 yrs, until I finally heard that there wasn't going to be anymore Palm phones introduced, and two months later.....BAM, the new Pre gets introduced! So, here I am, stuck using a windows mobile 6.1 piece of junk, and I'm frustrated! What's a guy to do?

Problems linking to a youtube video within InDesign. Why oh why?

I have followed the instructions as given in this video tutorial:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2013/06/04/embedding-youtube-videos-into-your-dps-project/
and my youtube video (with the youtube embed code inserted - https: added) plays in the preview but when I export it to a pdf all I get is a black box with no controls and clicking anywhere within it does nothing.
What's happening?

Ok, thanks. I gave up and am just going to create a button that links to the youtube website where my video is located. Don't know why Adobe doesn't allow for youtube videos to be embedded (as in a youtube link) in pdfs.

In Firefox, when downloading a PDF, Nero opens and crashes. Why and why Nero?

Some web pages have a link to a PDF document; when I try to open the link Nero attempts to open but crashes; I don't know why Nero is opening. Even on the "right-click to save" option it opens. Nero asks to be debugged and/or report the crash.

This article maybe help to you, change pdf file type to other application like adobe reader, See:

ITUNES WILL NOT CLOSE, WILL NOT CONNECT SONGS, why, god, why

It just won't close. every time i exit it pops itself open a few seconds later. i told it to get rid of the icon in the system tray, that won't help either. why will it not just exit?
in related news, my ipod won't connect anymore. the computer gets as far as recognizing that there's hardware attached, but itunes will then freeze and not do anything and i have to unplug the ipod to get my computer working again.
somebody help!

If anyone else can't play songs from their device in iTunes, try steps below which solved my problem:
Be sure your device is selected.
Right Click anywhere on Contents screen.
Select "Reset Plays" your selected song(s) should begin playing.
The "Pause, Play etc" buttons are no longer greyed out.

WHY OH WHY !
