Dashboard widgets not rendering correct for second user account

Hi - on my macbook I have two user accounts. My problem here is that the dashboard widgets do not render correct on the second account.
This goes for most widgets - the typical effect is that the text is not show, as in the unit converter - text is not shown in weather widget - and so on.
If I switch to the other (Admin) account then everything seems to work perfectly. I have tried removing the .plist files and changing the second account to an Admin account but with no luck.
Is there anything else I ought to try?
regards
Christian
MacBook (black) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

So - solved - conflicting Helvetica font.

Why won't garageband work for second user account

I have recently had new hard drive installed in my iMac, after a lot of time recovering everything I have my main (admin) user account working fine, including garageband 11 working fine after having to go through the unistall and delete all the library files work around. But now when I add a second user account for my kids, i get the same problem I had earlier. It shouldn't be the same thing because all of those files were deleted. I have cleared out the lirary files in the ~user library as well just in case but still the same issue. I get the warning that garageband needs to download files to work, it seemingly downloads all the files, then installs them, gets to 100% installed and then crashes.

. I get the warning that garageband needs to download files to work, it seemingly downloads all the files, then installs them, gets to 100% installed and then crashes.
This looks like GarageBand is trying to install the additional content - loops, instruments - for the new users all over again as well. This should not happen. All loops and instruments should have been installed in the system library for all users and not in your user library for you alone. Or there may be a permissions problem with the system library. Did you install all additional contents from an administrator account or a regular user account without administrator privileges?

Time machine for second user account erases other backups

I have a system drive and one other drive (two partitions: Files and Movies) on my iMac, and have been using Time Machine to back up these three drives.
Yesterday I created a second user account, but when logged in to that account Time Machine started to back up, it erased the previous backups and started from scratch, just backing up the system drive.
Can anyone tell me how to avoid this happening please?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

JSP Custom tag not working correctly for multiple users

I am doing some support work for an existing web system. When doing single user access (a custom tag is called within the JSP); the output of the Custom tag is fine. However, during multiple user access to the JSP, as I could see on the log files, 2 users access the custom tag at exactly the same time- the output of one of the users was incorrect. The custom tag btw, uses TreeMap, Stringbuffer and does not have a body, only attributes passed to it. It takes an input file and a Hashmap as input attributes and it sets a string in the page context which is later being used in the JSP. No error is logged, its just that the string produced(placed in the page context) is incorrect. This only happens when this tag is called at same time(when multiple users accessing the page) Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a known pooling/thread problem with custom tags?

in a servlet/jsp (a jsp is compiled into a servlet),
the class atrributes are shared. only the
variables declared in the doservice (doGet or doPost)
method are threadsafe.
post your jsp plzhere's the snippet of the jsp code:
<%@ page language="java"
errorPage="Error.jsp"
autoFlush="false"
buffer="128kb"
import="java.text.*,
java.math.BigDecimal,
java.rmi.RemoteException,
java.util.*,
java.io.*,
%>
<%@ include file="Secure.jsp" %>
// a set of request.getParameter are being called here
HashMap myMap = new HashMap();
myMap.put(xmlDPhoneNumber, dPhoneNumber);
myMap.put(xmlDPhoneType, "D");
myMap.put(xmlDPhoneExt, dExtension);
myMap.put(xmlDPhoneDigits, dPhoneDigits);
// other myMap putting of key values are called here
%>
<test:applyCustomerSearchValues id="resultXml" xmlTemplate="/xml/message/CustomerUpdateRequest.xml"
xmlMap="<%= myMap %>" />
<test:transformXMLString id="customerUpdateRequest"
xmlString="<%= resultXml.toString() %>"
xslFileName="/xsl/message/CustomerCreateRequest.xsl"
paramMap="<%= PMap %>"/>
now here's the thing: the xml produced by test:applyCustomerSearchValues is resultXml which is used in test:transformXMLString. I got no problem with the output of test:transformXMLString. I am sure that a phone number is being passed into the former as part of the HashMap key-value. However when test:applyCustomerSearchValues is called when 2 users access the jsp, it seems like the the first xml produced does not have the phone number in it - but the other has it. The xml is OK for both users, its just that the values of the HashMap do not seem to be passed correctly into the xml produced.
--- here's the snippet of the log, the first httpWorkerThread-80-6 does not have the phone number, however the second one-httpWorkerThread-80-7 has the phone number. The first one should also have a phone number as in the start of the log, the number was listed, but as the system called the test:applyCustomerSearchValues tag, the number was not included. There are different phone numbers for the 2 users. The odd thing here is, the userID which is the 'LastUpdatedBy' element has been set correctly. The userID is being fetched from a session attribute while the phone number is fetched from a request parameter, both are being placed in the HashMap attribute passed to the custom tag.

JSP page not rendering correctly for remote system

I have a jsp page that has an HtmlGraphicImage component that gets set by a method in a java bean using
image2.setUrl( imageFilename );
When I run the application on my local system (my development system running Studio Creator) the page comes up on my web browser with the proper image.
However, when I try to access the page from a remote PC, the page comes up okay with all the static components, but the image is blank. When I look at the page source on that browser, the image url is set to blank (i.e. nothing inside quotes).
Any ideas why this image is rendered correctly on my local system and not remotely?

InDesign CS3 will not open for second user

I am running InDesing CS3 on a iMac 10.4.11. InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator all open for my admistrative user account. I recently created a second user account that is unable to open InDesign even though Photoshop and Illustrator open just fine. I checked the permissions for all three programs and it appears that they are all set exactly the same. Does anyone have any idea why I am only able open InDesign for my user account but not for this new user account.
~Thank You
Andrew

5.0.3 should not have installed after 5.0.4 (that's a problem with the installer), and it may have added problems. First things to try, though, before we get down to uninstalling and reinstalling again, are trashing the prefs (Replace Your Preferences), trying a new user account, and starting with extensions disabled (hold down the Shift key when you boot).
If it comes to reinstalling again, you should probably also run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) before reinstalling, and make sure you have the correct update which you can download again from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4029

Error: property is not set correctly for User Defined Fields.

Dashboard Widgets not working...

I noticed last night that my Dashboard Widgets not longer were functioning. After searching here, I tried doing "~./Library/Prefrences/com.apple.dashboard" refresh and all, but no joy. I tried verifying and repairing permissions, but also no joy. I also can't enable iCloud Calendar and Reminder setting in System and wonder if all these problems are interconnected....

Thanks, That got me to thinking and discovered all I had to do was go to System --> Mission Control, turn Dasboard off and the re-enable it. It worked right away. As a side bonus, discovered "Overlay" mode and assigned (unused) F5 for that. Pretty cool!
Stil no joy on being able to enable Calendar and Reminders in Internet Accounts either. Although I did notice that I have two instances of the same email accounts setup in email. Trying to delete one sends me to internet accounts, where there is only one instance. If I delete that one and go back to Email Prefences Accounts and try to delete the remaining, it errors out saying no UID for it. I think that "may" be related to the iCloud problems as the iCloud username is also that email address. Not sure how to get rid of it. I setup another Mac user login to test and everything works fine. I just want to get everything working for the other Mac user login account as it is highly configured.
Hope that all made sense.
Thanks!

Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
Kind regards,
Jelle

Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
Further details:
-photoshop cc and after effects cc.
-macbook pro retina
If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore

[SOLVED] KDE4.3 is not rendering correctly the images in the desktop

I've posted a bug in KDE because the KDE images are not rendered correctly:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202829
You can see an image of my desktop at:
https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=35921
As someone suggests, and I also agree with him, it would be a driver problem. My graphic card is "ATI Radeon X1950 Pro" and I'm using the "xf86-video-ati 6.12.2-2" driver. I know that there are other possibilities according to this wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
I already tested them with KDE4.2 and xf86-video-ati provided the best result for me.
Someone with an ATI card has the same problem? Which driver would you suggest to me?
Thank you

Thank flamelab for your help.
The xf86-video-ati-git:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15374
fixed all my problems. Probably you've heard about it Now, I don't have any rendering problem and I have enabled the Desktop effects. I tested it with and without the xorg.conf file. Both of them worked, but without the file I don't have my keyboard in Spanish.
I read that it was possible the KMS support. I tested it by changing from graphical to text mode but it takes some time so I guess that it's not enabled. Is there any way to test KMS?
Is it possible to upgrade the AUR driver to the official repository? Meanwhile, I will comment my problem in the KDE site.
Best regards,
Jaime

Dashboard is not displaying correctly in IE9

I use IE9, and for some reason the new dashboard is not displaying correctly.
The menu down the left hand side of the page is half cut off.
Any ideas ?

Hi,
We've tested this is all current browser versions and the dashboard appears aligned correctly at this stage.
IE9 test:
Not sure what may be triggering this but try clearing any local cache and restarting the browser.

PDF not rendering correctly

Hi
Can anyone help? I am using an iMac and have had a pdf emailed to me. When I login on to the site and select the PDF to view, it is not rendering correctly.
I am not a technical person but to me it appears to open as a series of code, letters, numbers and symbols.
Any ideas how to rectify this?
Is it Adobe related or can I update the settings for the browser? I am using Safari.
Thanks

what OS & Safari version ?
Often, removing any 'pdf' plugins in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
then restarting the browser will solve pdf display issues, although in this case, it sounds as if the site is telling Safari that these are text type files & it's attempting to display them accordingly.
Disabling plug-ins via Safari - Preferences - Security should also eliminate pdf plug-ins as a cause.

Basic Layout not rendering correctly.

''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1035123''
Hello,
I've been trying to debug a problem I was noticing on my production websites, so I dumbed it down to a quick codepen to show off the issue. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/GgoBNJ
Basically, standard fonts (helvetica, arial, etc.) are not rendering correctly within a div. For some reason the text is pushing itself up ~2 pixels. Not to mention, fonts are looking very jagged within the browser for no apparent reason.
I am setting up a basic div with hardly any styles and yet this produces two different renderings within FF and Chrome
.box{
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
border: 2px solid #FF5500;
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
This is causing me all sorts of headaches with designers who are trying to make layouts pixel perfect as I have zero control over something like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Rollover text not rendering correctly in Safari 7.x

Safari 7.x and my blog (NotNecessarilyPretty.com) are not getting along.
Specifically, the rollover text in the post titles (see attached or visit site) is not rendering correctly. The right edge of the text does not change to the correct color. Have been in contact with Apple as well as the theme's developer, but have yet to be offered of a fix.
This blog displays correctly when accessed via Chrome or Firefox, and prior to Mavericks, Safari evidenced no problem.
Thoughts on how to correct this?
Thanks!

The original screenshot didn't show here, so for anyone else reading, who may well know much more about CSS & Safari than I :
changes to this - note the right edge
But with word-spacing un-checked in Inspector...

Second user account not shown on OS X boot

Is there a way to remove the data from the old "student" account and then add it back in after creating a new "student" account?
Might see if these help...
Open the terminal and type:
nireport / /users name uid | grep "5[0123456789][0123456789]"
This should report all users that are in the 500+ range for the user ID. User accounts generally start at 501, and work up, so look at the list returned, and pick the next available number to assign to the new user you are creating. You will use it in place of the uid 555 below.
(Above didn't work in 10.5.8, sorry)
