Im running on a late 2008 unibody MacBook(4GB ram).

I have folders in my dock and when I drag files out and hover over the desktop the desktop goes haywire; random colors,etc. sort of like if the memory being accessed for the desktop was incorrect. This visual anomally only seems to happen in the scenario described above.

Can any of you replicate it? And any suggestions as to how to fixit?

Cheers

I've seen lots of threads on Apple's discussion page, but no answers that've helped me. Was hoping someone here might've ran into this issue and had a solution.

I have a 15" MacBook Pro, latest one. OS X Lion, all updates. It has a 250GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. The battery seems to only last about 2 to 3 hours. If I bring down the battery pull down menu, it flucutates all over the place every few times I pull it down. Sometimes it's almost 6 hours, sometimes it's only an hour and a half. This is with a full charge.

I did a top -o and there's nothing running that's taking more than 1% or 2% of the CPU. So it's not some errant program or process hogging the CPU.

Any ideas?

My DNS server is giving me RFC 1918 errors. Something like this:

view com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS.public: RFC 1918 response from Internet for 142.57.57.10.in-addr.arpa

It's been doing this for several years and our network administrator doesn't think it's an issue, but it spams it in the log a LOT. The log gets to several hundred MBs a day. I've looked high and low for an answer, and I can only find vague references to RFC 1918 and how to fix it, but it's always from a Linux standpoint and not OS X.

Anyone run into this problem? I also get the error about unable to resolve some URL, but fixes it by reducing it to 512 octets. I'm not a DNS person, so I don't know what's going on.

Another problem is that Time Machine won't work, and I'm convinced it's a DNS issue. It'll work fine until the server gets DNS information, then it'll freeze clients and corrupt LDAP on the server requiring a reinstall.

i keep getting the "start up disk full" message, but i have a brand new external hard drive that has tons of room on it. just don't know what to do!:brick:

This is not in the PWL because I don't want to take this in a religious direction, this is not about religion. I'm referring to his general teachings of calming the mind, reducing anxiety, stress, controlling emotions, etc.

If you are, can you please comment on how this has impacted your life?

If you are not into them, please refrain from snippy comments about the Dalai Lama or anything else, I'm not interested in the criticisms of him personally or his teachings from those invested in a religion, I'm just curious to hear from people who have been studying them or had/have some personal experience with them. I don't have any particular opinions, I'm not looking to make a commitment of my own, I'm just curious and intrigued to hear from those that have personal experiences they wish to share as far as how this has affected their lives.

It’s always interesting to me that Apple doesn’t specify all the fixes included in a new version of Mac OS, but this one is a huge boon for me.

In Mac OS X 10.7–10.7.3, Screen Sharing with multiple displays is a little flaky. If I open a Screen Sharing session, place the window on any display besides the primary, and then open a second Screen Sharing session, the latter session never shows up. The connection completes and is visible in the Window menu, but you can’t actually see it anywhere. The workaround is to make sure all preexisting Screen Sharing sessions are on the main display (including minimized, if the Dock be on the primary display) before starting an additional session.

The point is that Mac OS X v.10.7.4 fixes this. Huzzah! :D

Worth it? To me it sounds like a combo ripoff and jumping on apple's bandwagon.

I have a few different things I'm loooking to do. I was using IDEA to run my Java code but then I noticed that when you run it in Idea the very first line in the activity view is the actual java calls which idea is making. I copied that LONG line and I can actually run it in terminal using the java -classpath CODE GOES HERE. Thats all well and great but I now want to add two bits one is to set it up to run via cron hourly so 0 * * * * /Users/USERNAME/Desktop/scripts/findme.txt the other is to have it email me the results, preferably as a zipped attachment.

How do I setup cron to run this long java command? I think I need it in a .sh file?
How do I get it to email me the results? (this command will send me an email mailx -s "does this work" email@address.com but I can't get the java command to execute automatically and then email me.

Is my mother's aunt properly called my 'great aunt' or my 'grand aunt?'

I had always though it was 'great aunt', but then I started thinking about it and since she is of the same generation as my 'grandmother' then wouldn't it make sense for it to be 'grand aunt?'

I am replacing my G5 (10.5) Xserve with a late 2008 Xserve (10.6). This server is primarily a web server, with a small amount of mail traffic.

I keep my 'webfolder' on a RAM disk. All of my pages are dymanic php/mysql, so they can't be cached. But reading from RAM is so fast, you'd never know it.

This is the command I used in 10.5 to create a 1 GB RAM disk at boot:
Not the "notremovable", that flag makes the system treat the mounted disk image (or in this case, the RAM disk), like a real physical disk, and not a mounted disk image. When you use this flag, the ram disk will actually show up with a regular hard drive icon. Without this flag, it shows up as a white disk image.

But this flag doesn't work in 10.6. According to the man page, it's still there. But when I use it, I get permissions errors. I am using it with sudo (from the command line, or as root via lanuchdeamons). As I look closer at my errors, It appears that what might be happening is that the diskutil command is being run as root, but the hdiutil command inside of it, is not.

Anyway this is about more than just the icon. When the ram disk is mounted as a real disk, its harder to eject, which is good because it's my web folder and I don't want it going anywhere. AND when its mounted that way, I can use time machine to back it up. Which works out to be a great system for that.

Hey!

I need some information regarding DVD recorders for TV, if that exists; but I thought so. My parents have this old TV and are now looking for a new one and they have an old VHS video recorder, they used to watch DVDs on their Macs until now.

So, what to do? Would buying a DVD recorder make sense? Is that expensive? Can you use the DVDs on the computer, too? Any advice?

Thanks!

Thinking of getting the Go Pro HD Hero2 Surf Edition. I'd like to be able to capture stuff that I can use to 'fake' ultra slow motion. The Hero2s do 720p at 60fps or WVGA at 120 fps. I'd then like to use some sort of software to make it look like it was filmed at 1000fps. Twixtor seems to be the reference for this 'faking' but there's also Apple Motion.

My question is about the film editing software that should be used around the 1000fps manipulation. From what I hear and read, people don't like the newest FCP. Doesn't look like Twixtor works with iMovie. I have to be honest in saying that I haven't got a clue how to figure out what Adobe product I'd want, IIUC After Effects is Hollywood studio stuff so probably well above me. What about Adobe Premiere Pro?

I'm developing this app.

Some of the content will be licensed under a couple of creative commons licenses. The terms of these mean

a) I have to make such content available to others under the same license
b) I have to provide copy of the license

The plan is to have the file downloadable to the phones photo library. The license will be via an html link in the app to view the license and download via safari

I think this should cover it, I can't easily work out if this is within the terms of the app store.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hey!

We are using EyeTV and DVB-T here in Germany and I wonder about the picture quality... Sometimes I think it's identical with normal tv (cable etc.), sometimes, depending on the scene, it looks a bit washed out. What do you think? Is EyeTV over DVB-T possible with great quality? Is the antenna so important? I always thought Germany and especially the area we live in would be rather modernized with DVB-T reception, but this sometimes...

Thanks!

There is a question I'm pondering for a while that might sound a bit weird, but - can I put a notebook into the shelf, upright I mean?

Any advice?

Hey!

I bought a new notebook and I'm looking for a good wireless mouse. I know it sounds a bit strange, but I really want a very simple one: Two buttons, scroll wheel, nothing fancy; maybe black. It should be pretty cheap, too.

I'm rather confused. I don't understand at all why there are wireless mice that are not bluetooth. What for? Isn't the little USB thing annoying? And the Apple mouse is good, but rather expensive. What to do? Where to look? Any recommendations?

We're developing software and part of it is HTML WYSIWYG. We're trying to support the latest in HTML5 and CSS3. We're sort of in tag soup land right now. Any tips on this? Best way to flow text, deal with object manipulation, etc.

The following links are NSFW. I put them behind a spoiler tag, so you can't there from here accidentally.



I'm curious about people's take on the thesis of the project, and the way it chooses to express said thesis.

The idea behind that installation is that lots of women think their bodies don't live up to some imaginary ideal.

I assume this is a suitable topic for discussion, and in discussing it see discussing this installation.

Where exactly is the line here? Can it not be linked to? Can it be a link behind a spoiler tag so there's no chance of stumbling upon the gallery accidentally? Is it because it didn't have NSFW tags? I must admit on both points I assume a certain amount of intelligence, and that level is such that if you click on a link called "Great Wall of Vagina" you have at least a minimal concept of what you're going to get.

Is it because clinical names for parts of our bodies are inappropriate in thread titles?

I'm asking for guidance here.

My iMac came with OSX 10.7.4 "Lion" and I find some things in this system annoying. Is there a way to get rid of the default "open windows again on restart" which is always checked, in the shutdown dialogue?

Same thing with applications. For instance today I happened to enter a bogus website which gave me a dialog box saying "You should consider cleaning your Mac of garbage" and the name of some software they wanted me to download. Modal dialog box, only one button marked "OK". I decided that I was definitely not going to click that button. Since there was no way to get rid of the box, I force quit Safari. But on the next start, Safari automatically loaded the same window with the same site and there was the suspicious box & button again. A second force quit & restart while frantically hitting Cmd-W saved me. Is there a way to tell the machine not to reload windows that were open when the application was shut down?

Third: this system seems to save changes automatically. Cmd-S should only be used to save a version. If I close the window in e.g. Pages, it will automatically save the current state of the file. Only sometimes this has not worked. The last few sentences are missing. Why?

Problem: daughter is facing a long cross-country trip in her car with a dead CD-player. Only option is radio or get her one of the following...

• Belkin TuneBase FM
• Griffin iTrip Universal+

I know these kinds of gadgets aren't incredibly great or anything, but she'd at least be able to listen to her own music on the trip, right? My gut leans toward the TuneBase because I like the way the iPod mounts to the transmitter. Nice and neat. But, if it's junk, then never mind.
Anyway...If anyone has any experience using these things, I'd love to hear about it, good and bad. Need to make a decision in the next couple of days.

Chapter 1 | Facebook

Hey guys, I've actually decided to post it to Facebook because the iBookstore approval process seems to have slowed to a halt. (They apparently didn't like the fact that I made my character a Mac user, I thought of slapping on a Samsung logo out of spite but couldn't bring myself to do it ... at least not without them giving me a hell of a lot of cash.) So I threw on a Pineapple ... (Sosumi) and got rid of a couple screen shots I'd used that actually gave it a really cool visual look.

Anyway, I've got six chapters done so far and I want to start releasing chunks of the book every now and again. I'm hoping to develop some sort of following, so if anyone here actually likes it, feel free to share it on Facebook or something.

Any one know if its possible to block incoming messages from people you don't like? I have that ability with regular SMS but iMessage by passes that and sadly the person has my Cell Number. Even if I could turn off iMessage communications with the one contact it would be helpful. My searches on Google always comes back about tropics related to iMessage and me.com accounts, not much in the way of the phone number part. My current guess on this is no but I thought I check anyways.

Adobe has issued a number of security updates for the following programs:

Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash Professional.

The Illustrator update is for CS5.5 and earlier for Mac and Windows. It “addresses vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system,” and the latest version of this software, CS6, already includes the fixes.

The Photoshop update addresses different vulnerabilities that can have the same effect. As for Illustrator, the latest version of the software, CS6, includes this fix.

The Flash Professional update patches one vulnerability, and, like the Illustrator and Photoshop flaws, is fixed in CS6.

The thing is, the updates to the CS5.5 programs are not available. The only way to patch these vulnerabilities is to pay for the upgrade to CS6. If you are not willing to upgrade – or not interested in upgrading for reasons which may include incompatible hardware – your software will remain vulnerable. As Adobe says:

Adobe has released Adobe Photoshop CS6 (paid upgrade), which addresses these vulnerabilities. For users who cannot upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe recommends users follow security best practices and exercise caution when opening files from unknown or untrusted sources.

For Michigan's Driver Responsibility Act. My DL is being held up in CA for something I did out of state in October of 2003. Oddly, I didn't have an issue during my last DL renewal. Anyhow, I'm having a hard time finding this or an answer to it. I've already lost out on three job offers due to it. I've tried working with MI, but they want more than I can currently pay. If I had any of the jobs I've had to pass over, they would have already been paid.

For some reason, all the iMessages that my wife and I have been exchanging over the last 3 days are failing, and being sent as text messages. I terminated my text plan a while back, because nearly everyone I know uses an iOS device, so it wasn't cost-effective after the onset of iMessage. Now I'm dreading my next AT&T bill...

What causes this to happen? Is there a setting on one, or both, of our phones that we've inadvertently changed? Is AT&T messing with things? Is it an iOS problem? It might have coincided with the latest iOS software upgrade, but I'm not certain.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello, I have just copied all of my Time Life After Midnight CD to my iTunes library and now I go into the window and I see the music, and I see the album art work, but each song has its own image, Instead of just one image for the entire cd each song has it own image they are the same but I want it to be just one image if you get what I am saying, does anyone know what I am talking about ?

You've probably already heard this story: Mitt Romney was a prep school bully.

Now, I don't think the way Rmoney behaved as a high school student is necessarily related to the kind of person he is today. We all did bad sh!t when we were kids, though I never did anything close to cutting hair off a screaming kid who was being held down by my friends. But I am still pretty shocked by this story.

But I am more shocked by that fact that Rmoney is still completely incapable of apologizing for this incident. He can't say something as simple as "I did a bad thing, and I feel bad for doing it." No, he gives the classic non-apology:

IF? IF? IF? Are you a fncking psychopath, Mitt? Of course someone was offended: the fncking kid whose hair you cut while he was screaming on the ground!

Bullying is a now considered a serious issue. Perhaps Mitt should consider that. But then again, animal abuse is now considered serious, but he remains unrepentant about that too.

This is what Rmoney needs to do: hold a press conference, tell us in detail about the time he brutally bullied a fellow student by cutting his hair while his sycophantic friends held him down, that it was all his own idea in the first place, and offer a proper, sincere apology to the now-deceased John Lauber for making his school life a living hell. And he should speak directly to the youth of America, telling them that bullying is completely unacceptable.

But this won't happen, because Rmoney is who he is: an unrepentant sociopath.

Hi. I have some spreadsheet data as comma-separated values text files (.csv), and some .xls files as well, but when I open them in NeoOffice or a spreadsheet application all accented characters are being displayed as black diamonds with question marks in them. In TextWrangler, they appear as screwy letter combinations, no diamonds in that case. Someone viewing the same file in Windows though sees the proper characters.

I don't understand character encoding very well at all. Can someone explain to me how I can open or convert these files to use the proper encoding? I'm opening them in NeoOffice as UTF-8 but the Mac's native encoding of Latin-1 or whatever is messing things up.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there,

I have a 2 part question.

First off I get an error when importing from my Sony HD camcorder which I never did before. Sometimes the solution is just to archive and then import from archive file. However I am unable to do a simple import like before.

Another thing is that some videos I import in AVI format show up without sound in iMovie. Also there are some MP4 videos I am unable to import. It shows the progress bar and then the event just shows blank when it's done.

Any suggestions?

Adobe has released a new security advisory. There is a serious bug in the latest version of Photoshop, and the fix is...buy Photoshop CS6, which includes the fix.

All of you who are complaining that Apple is only supporting one version back: Adobe is not even supporting the current version. They must have known about the bug when it was in the current version and held off on fixing it for the next big release. This is a new low.

I've been considering getting an ATV3 for a while now. I'm wondering if anyone has had any issues with streaming content, particularly "lag" issues. I ask because I have a PS3 that I use to stream media and I often run into lag issues with it...I'll be streaming a TV show, 2 minutes in it will freeze up for 5-10 seconds then pick back up...sometimes it happens more frequently, sometimes it will freeze up longer than 5-10 seconds, sometimes it will just drop the connection completely.

I'm confident that Apple has this figured out and that the ATV can handle streaming media MUCH better than the PS3+sh*tty media streaming software, but I'm curious to know if anyone has experienced similar issues. I'm so hell bent on local storage now because of this and the idea of switching to an "all streaming" device makes me a little nervous. :/

Also, another question...the AirPlay mirroring feature, do you have to have an iPad(I'm guessing 2 or higher) or iPhone 4s for this to work or can you use it with a regular iPhone 4?

Thanks!
