Will an audio message disappear after a certain time even if the receiver has not listened to them?

I have noticed that sometimes i will send someone an audio snippet and they don't get it, I know it expires after two minutes from being heard does that time limit also apply to them even if they aren't heard?

It would be stupid if it did. After all, what's the point if the user on the receiving end never got to hear it?
Tl;dr: Nope.

Rollover Sidelet disappears after a few seconds even when the mouse hasn't left the "hit area."

Rollover Sidelet disappears after a few seconds even when the mouse hasn't left the "hit area." There is enough text in the sidelet that the user cant read it all before it disappears on its own. Then they have to move their mouse off the hit area and back on it to see it for another 5 seconds. How do I fix this?

You should tell which version you are using. If you are on CP7 or earlier, look in the Properties panel of the slidelet, not the slidelet area (that is the rollover area, blue rectangle): change time in Timing accordion.
If you are on CP8, for the same object (slidelet) change its time in the Timing panel that is now no longer in the Properties panel.

AirDrop used to work between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Now, when I try to transfer a file (either direction) I get a message that my certificate is invalid or that the file has not been accepted. What do I do?

Do notes disappear after a certain time?

The earliest entry in the Notes app has disappeared. Do they get deleted after a certain time or if I have inadvertantly deleted it can i get it back from icloud somehow?

They never expire - at least from iCloud. I still have some five year old notes.

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out if it is covered by the warranty. Sometimes/frequenlty your damage is cased by abuse.operator error/accidental damage which is not covered by the warranty.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not covered by warranty:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $88 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

When reopening a document after making a change and saving, the change has not been saved. A

Adobe Reader X

Here's a test to see where the problem lies.
Open the file in Reader X
Make a change
Save the file to desktop.
If it isn't the same computer with Reader 9, copy this to the other computer, perhaps using a memory stick.
Open the file in Reader 9.
Is the change showing up in Reader 9?

Apple Mail inbox message disappear after a week

I have a brand new iMac running 10.8.2. I am using the Apple Mail program to view emails from an AT&T DSL account.
The emails just disappear after a certian time and I can not find any setting for this in preferences (note this is not deleted e-mail, but rather all email in my inbox) As of 4/3, the oldest email is dated 3/27 in my inbox.
The emails are on the AT&T server still, and my old iMac is also receiving them and not removing them.
How do I change this please?

Quit Mail.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. If you get a warning that the file is in use when you try to empty the Trash, log out and log back in.

Do notes go away after a certain time?

Do notes on the iphone4 go away after a certain time? One of my most important note is gone.

How old are you? If 1998 is the year you were born, it's entirely possible your parents have subscribed to a 'smart limits' service, which will disable your data connection, text messaging, etc. during hours they choose.

IDVD is closing after a certain time.

Hi, i made a movie with a sony Z1-HDV camera and made the montage in FCP. Than i export it with Quicktime 7.5. Than dropped it in iDVD. After a certain time iDVD just quits. With the below report.
Also when i just open iDVD and open an other iDVD project and do nothing iDVD just quits after a certain time. Read below report.

Yikes! You're on the very edge of a kernel panic if you haven't yet seen one. Something is amiss ....
Are you using any external FW or USB HD's / 3rd party devices while attempting to burn an iDvd?
If so, Restart your Mac without any 3rd party devices attached and try again. But first run apple's disc utilities to Repair Permissions. Assuming you have no less than 20GB's of available HD space on the boot volume and that all assets for iDvd are located on this same volume (your main HD and not on the external volume/s).
Post back with your results.

The playlists I created have disappeared after updating to iOS 7.1. I have not backed up this phone to a computer - only backing up with iCloud. Is there a way to recover my playlists?

Dictation in text message = Does not work
Speaking with Siri via activated with Home button = Does not work
Speaking with Siri with "Raise to Speak' = WORKS
Voice Memos = WORKS
Speaker phone on call = WORKS
Voice control instead of Siri = WORKS
I've tried hard reset, settings reset, wiping and reloading backup...nothing. Was hoping 7.1 might offer some respite, but no dice....
I was hoping 7.1 would somehow solve it.

Stop threads after a certain time

I want to create a program that wants to do some work simultaneously, but each thread will return back after some time, however I do not want to wait forever so I want to stop all active threads after say 1 minute. Below is what I am doing but I am unable to stop the executing threads:
ThreadPoolExecutor tpe = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
tpSize, tpSize, 5, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS,
new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>());
Task[] tasks = new Task[nTasks];
for (int i = 0; i < nTasks; i++) {
tasks[i] = new Task(n, "Task " + i);
tpe.execute(tasks[i]);
tpe.shutdown();
System.out.println("Done!");
try {
tpe.awaitTermination(5, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
class Task implements Runnable {
long n;
String id;
private long fib(long n) {
if (n == 0)
return 0L;
if (n == 1)
return 1L;
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
public Task(long n, String id) {
this.n = n;
this.id = id;
public void run() {
Date d = new Date();
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss:SSS");
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
d.setTime(startTime);
System.out.println("Starting task " + id + " at " + df.format(d));
System.out.print("Fib: " + fib(n));
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
d.setTime(endTime);
System.out.println(" Ending task " + id + " at " + df.format(d) + " after " + (endTime - startTime) + " milliseconds");
How come the threads do not stop especially when I have set a 5 Millisecond timeout?
How do I go about stopping active threads?

Is ThreadPoolExecutor right for me?

IPOD freezes after a certain time

After a certain time using the device, the touch display does not work anymore. The app is still running, but not reacting any more. After switching off the Ipod is working again for a certain time.
The device has been rebooted several times, restored via Itunes and also the firmware is up to date.
The device is one year old, 8GByte, enough memory available and the battery charged.
The problem started some weeks ago.
I started to remove some apps without success actually.
Apps that have a bigger size seem to increase the occurence of the problem
Using WiFi increase the occurence also.
Any ideas welcome!!!

Here finally the solution for my problem:
The hardware of the Ipod had a problem. The device had been replaced by a new one. As I bought the device in Germany, there is an extended warranty of 24 month. The retailer where I bought the device took it back and gave the complete money back including the shipment costs! So I ordered the now IPod Touch G4 and have now fun again.
The suggestion which already had been given was correct and helpful.
A comment about the retailer:
I bought the device via Amazon. There support even on a Sunday evening was just great. In one week (!!!) I sent the device (on Monday), got the result of the investigation and received the new device (on Friday).
The support I received here was just great!

My brand new back up drive is connected but now time machine has disappeared after working perfectly for a week. - no icon, not appearing as an option to save to - have rebooted everything a few times.

My brand new back up drive is connected but now time machine has disappeared after working perfectly for a week. - no icon, not appearing as an option to save to - have rebooted everything a few times.

It's not clear whether you were able to do any backups to this drive at all. If not, it's probably not formatted properly. See #5 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for instructions.
If you did get any successful backups, there may be a problem with the drive, or the backups may be corrupted. Try to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

After upgrading to iOS 8.3, the keyboard has frozen up and I can no longer text or access my contacts. I've re-booted the phone several times, to no avail.

After upgrading to iOS 8.3, the keyboard has frozen and I can not longer text or access my contacts. I literally just upgraded to an iPhone 6, but I'm just about ready to can this phone and go with an Android. Can anyone help or have the same issues?

Im having the same problem. This started with iOS 8 and Yosemite. Im in a group message with 10 people with and without iPhones. Currently have 9 threads and when ever a new person responds a new thread forms. they all have the same people but in a different order, that may be part of the reason why iMessage doesn't recognize them as the same conversation.
As I'm writing this post 3 new threads opened and other people with and without iPhones are mentioning the same problem
hope apple can fix this. VERY annoying

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.
