Ipod plays music 10-20 seconds and after stop playing


This problem appeared with first downloading music from computer. Music plays few seconds and stops, and nothing changes. Then I push play this problem appeared again.


How to fix it?


iPod shuffle 4 generation, Windows 8





2009 Mac Mini Wakes Up Immediately After Sleep. What Could be Wrong?


This computer would sleep fine before. Now it wakes up immediately after sleeping, either from a timer, or from the Sleep menu item.



  • Even if all USB ports (except the wireless mouse) are empty

  • Even with a non-wireless mouse

  • Even if Bluetooth and WiFi are off

  • Even if Time Machine is off

  • Even after Apple Hardware Test has shown no problem

  • Even if a B.S.O.D. has not happened during the session (See Black Screen of Semi-Death after Sleep/Fast User Switching )


I've checked the "PleaseSleep" logs and there's nothing there, I've disabled "PleaseSleep".


I've checked "syslog" from a terminal and the machine is woken up by USB7... but I don't have seven USB ports.





In-app purchases of an app downloaded from a different country


A few months ago, I purchased a number of applications from iTunes US using a US-based credit card even though I'm not from the USA; from the PH, actually. (I used AmEx Virtual Pay offered by my local telco provider)


Now, I recently moved to Japan and upon seeing these iTunes cards on the convenience stores, I am really tempted to buy some. (I don't have a JP-based credit card and I cannot, should not, must not use my PH-based CC to do purchases).


Which brings me now to my problem, I want to do some in-app purchases on the apps I purchased on the iTunes US using (possibly) the iTunes card JP. Is this possible? Will changing just the country of my iTunes work? Since I'm thinking that even though the app was downloaded from a different country, after all, I'm still using the same account.


I understand that if I decide to download new paid apps, I could just change my country to Japan and use the iTunes card, but will this work with in-app purchases?


Let me know if my question's unclear. Thanks.





How do I install and run MySQL?


I installed MySQL:


installed


but MySQL certainly isn't on the path when I open a terminal, nor do I see it in applications, as I seem to recall Windows handles MySQL.





Unable to overwrite some file formats via Share Drive


I have some files on a SMB-mounted shared drive. Filesystem is NTFS.


Case 1: PSD (Photoshop file)


I edited the Photoshop file in Photoshop CS5.5 (also tried Photoshop CC), select File > Save. For the first time, it shows:



Write access is not granted



The file is removed from the folder (it's gone!!!). Then I select Save again, Photoshop asks me where to save the file. I select the original folder and the save action is completed successfully. On the 3rd Save, the "Write access" error is prompted again (and the file is gone, again).

Case 2: TXT (Text File)


The file can be saved, edited successfully via TextEdit or Terminal (vi, touch, echo command, etc).




Case 3: PNG


I tried to edit and save the file in Preview. It said, the file is locked, and let me select "Save Anyway" or "Cancel". I select "Save Anyway", it said:



You don't have permission to save the file



enter image description here


enter image description here


What is the cause of the issue? In Terminal with ls -al command, it shows the permission is:



-wrx------@


and in the Permission section of the "Get Info" dialog, it said:



You have custom access



p.s. I'm using Yosemite OS X 10.10.2


p.s. A post suggested that it's the bug of SMB protocol; CIFS protocol will solve the issue. I tried, but the same issue persists.


If using SMB, the output of smbutil is as follow:

Abort OS X download initiated through App Store?


I started an OS X Yosemite download. I did not want to download it or install it; rather I just wanted it to show up under purchases so I could install it in the future after Apple removes it from the App Store. (After a couple of years, it will be stable enough to use in production).


The Pause button is not available (its greyed out), so I can't pause or stop the download.


How do I abort the download?

Mounted Share Drive showed incorrect Last Opened Date at "Get Info" dialog


I have a shared drive mounted via SMB. The "Get Info" page shows that the Last Opened time is January 1, 1970, which is obviously impossible.


What is the cause of the issue, and is it possible to fix this?

p.s. the Last modified date is also incorrect.
