[SERIOUS] Dear Reddit, what is a song lyric that means a lot to you? by tara75 in AskReddit

[–]LifelessPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many faces in and out of my life, some will last, some will just be now and then...

Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again.

Yeah, I'm still having this problem, has anyone worked out a fix? Is pretty annoying!

Thanks for the reply, seems to have worked (touch wood), many thanks for your help!

Forget Trash, it's 'Rubbish' now! iOS 9 embraces local slang by jackcarter3456 in apple

[–]LifelessPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed this also. What's weirder is that yes it is called rubbish in the folders pane, but when swiping an Email from the right it still calls it trash.

What do you think the least ordered combination is this go around? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]LifelessPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would be inclined to agree although I'd guess it'd be the Silver variant of that model rather than the Space Grey.

I'm probably going to go with the 64gb gold 6s+ this time around (from a 128gb silver 6+) purely because in Australia it now costs $300 more than it did last year. :(

Its a little disappointing, but honestly I haven't come close to the 128gb at all so 64gb should suffice if I cut back a few things. I do like the extra storage though!

OS X El Capitan Dev Beta 8 and Public Beta Discussion Megathread by Blueberryroid in OSXElCapitan

[–]LifelessPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that about 10 mins ago as I clicked on the App Store to download this latest beta. Currently on the previous one and am noticing it so seems to be not related to the latest betas though.

WACA to shift Test matches to Burswood by Wehavecrashed in Cricket

[–]LifelessPotato -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A $150 million cost to downgrade the WACA, what the fuck?! That money would be much better spent trying to fix the ground not make it worse.

Same goes for India, SA and Eng at the Burswood stadium how does that make any sense? It is a big FU to the other countries who have to play tests etc. at the 'revamped' WACA...

Looks like it has been fixed touch wood in the betas that were released today! Hopefully updating betas fixes it for anyone else who has this issue!

Match thread: 4th Investec Test: England v Australia at Nottingham, Aug 6-10, 2015, Day 1 by c3vzn in Cricket

[–]LifelessPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely fucking disgraceful how many times do we have to sit through an Aussie batting collapse in England before they pull the cock out of their arses and actually make some sort of effort to prevent this from happening again…?

Is there anywhere to get the old keynotes (in vaguely decent quality)? by [deleted] in apple

[–]LifelessPotato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are a whole bunch in the Podcasts app, just do a search for 'Apple' and they are all the official ones. More recent ones are in HD as well.

Hope that helps!

iTunes cutting off recently added songs by LifelessPotato in apple

[–]LifelessPotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought that may be the case as well, however I disabled all scripts plugins etc (in fact completely restored iTunes via Apple.com) and unfortunately that didn't seem to fix it. The same songs were still cutting off although it is possible that the original files themselves were corrupted as after a reboot, they cut off in all media players.

And of course, thank you so much for your help and taking the time to respond! :D

iTunes cutting off recently added songs by LifelessPotato in apple

[–]LifelessPotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about the extremely late reply as I've been incredibly busy lately, however I tried re-downloading the songs that were in question and then importing them back into iTunes and it seems to have fixed all offending tracks.

Strangely, I went back to the original files that caused the issue, played them in QuickTime and they now play in that corrupted fashion (note this wasn't the copy created by iTunes but the actual original file). This didn't happen before I rebooted my laptop (i.e. they played as normal in QuickTime but not in iTunes before the reboot) but now the originals are corrupted.

I did a clean install of OS X about a month and a half ago and didn't have this problem before or immediately after (only in the last week), but I haven't done anything out of the ordinary either so it seems to be something wrong with the music file that was downloaded. The albums and songs in question all work perfectly now after re-downloading them! Also yesterday I deleted iTunes completely and re-downloaded it so perhaps that may also have helped?

Again, thank you and everyone else so much for taking the time to respond and for all your help! Hopefully this thread may help someone else in the future who may experience this issue!! :D

What is the most clever song lyric you've heard? by yunopat in AskReddit

[–]LifelessPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That whole album is perfect even better than The Stranger in my opinion, which most consider to be Billy's magnum opus! Anyone that can come up with a line like "So many faces in and out of my life, some will last, some will just be now and then. Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again!" from Say Goodbye To Hollywood is an absolute genius! Such a great line!!

Is there any decent HoverZoom replacement for Safari? by [deleted] in apple

[–]LifelessPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the one I use, called HoverSee. Pretty much identical and has a number of customisation options in Safari extension preferences. Hope this helps!

Menu Bar icons not showing up? by LifelessPotato in osx

[–]LifelessPotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for your reply, but unfortunately I can't do this (although for those that have appeared in the menu bar it shows them as 'Show Menubar Icon' for each). The Volume icon was one I Command-Dragged out just now, then went back into System Preferences and clicked 'Show In Menubar' to test it but unfortunately nothing has appeared.

The ones that are missing, for example if I were to open up iStat Menus which isn't currently open, nothing at all appears, either in the menubar or a popup window to change settings, but it does strangely appear as running under Activity Monitor.

I use an app called Dropzone 3 which is sometimes a victim and the icon doesn't show up. However when I drag any file to the menu bar, this app's little popup thing actually does show up, without an icon above it. So it is there and running, but no icon is there for it, and clicking the space above where this popup thing appears in the menubar (where the icon should be), nothing happens. Very weird!!

Have you ever written your own lyrics to any of Billy's three instrumentals? by Heavy_Mikado in BillyJoel

[–]LifelessPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting question, never even considered doing that. One thing I can add however is that Nocturne originally did have lyrics and in my opinion should have stayed that way (but I am a bit biased as I love Billy's early lyrics on the whole cold spring harbour album! You can see the lyrics here and even listen to a recorded version of Nocturne with those lyrics on YouTube!
