Mac OSX dock strange application character/names?

Hi,
Running the the latest version of Mountail Lion and have a strange issue with corrupct application names in the Dock. Specifically it is applications that has Swedish translated names, so I guess it is an issue with a font or something.
See the screenshot and you'll see how the Dock presenst the name for the apllication Preview in this case.
Any help appreciated :-)
Thanks!

Hi,
I have got it working again. The trick wasn't just to move/delete the plist files, you also had to change the language order. So I first changed to Englsih and logged out, then changed to Swedish and logged out and in again. After that manover it all seems fine now with the Swedish characters in the Dock. To just be sure I also did a reboot to see that the fix was permanent, at least for now ;-)
Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

  • Reinstalling Mac OSX and Pro Application Support

    I just reinstalled OSX today and ran all the updates available - every other application I've tried is fine - except for Logic Pro. (9.0.2) The error message reads:
    This version of Logic Pro requires Pro Application Support 5.0 (883.0) or newer.
    ProKit: 722.0 (OS BUILD 9L31a)
    One of the updates I downloaded was Pro Application Support, but Software Update says it's version 1.0. I don't remember installing this stuff when I first set up Logic - where can I get 5.0 again?
    Thanks

  • My mac osx 10.5  applications have been deleted how do I reinstall them?

    Help me! I downloaded a dj software and I deleted it and I think I deleted my applications to open safari and I tunes help!

    They cannot be deleted.  They may have been moved.  Use the spotlight search to launch Settings, and then go to General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Illustrator CS5 Instalation Problem on Mac OSX 10.5.8

    I have tried instaling this software multiple times and am getting errors in the program that reinstalling doesn't seem to fix.
    Here are the errors I'm getting:
    When opening a new document, I get the error: "Can't locate the Startup Profiles. Please try after installing Illustrator again.  Illustrator will now attempt to create a default document" 
    When quitting Illustrator, I get the error: "The Application Adobe Illustrator CS5 quit unexpectedly after it was relaunched.  Mac OSX and other applications are not affected.  Click relaunch to launch the application again.  Click Report to see more details or to send a report to Apple"
    I saved the report in case this is needed.
    After browsing user forums, I attempted to reinstall using the following steps:
    1) Before attempting any reinstallation, I deleted the folder drive/users/username/library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/
    2) Unstalled Illustrator using the uninstaller package that comes with Illustrator. 
    3) Removed shortcut from menu
    4) Reinstalled Software.
    Please advise.

    After downloading CS5 I ran into multiple permissions errors, this is no exception.
    The following folder needs Read & Write access:
    Macintosh HD:Users:(Your User Name):Library:Application Support:Adobe:Adobe Illustrator CS5
    You can change this access by selecting "Get Info" on this folder, then adjust the Sharing & Permissions options so everyone can Read & Write.
    NOTE: This addresses the startup profiles only; crashing on quit is a separate issue.
    When you open up Illustrator this time and try to create a new document, Adobe magically creates a "en_US" folder within the Adobe Illustrator CS5 folder that couldn't be added before.

  • Copy and paste to a JTextArea under Mac OSX

    Hello,
    Mac OSX users complain about the lack of copy and paste functionality
    when they run my small Java application. Unfortunately I don't own a
    Mac so I cannot test it or find out where the problem is. When I run the
    application under various versions of Linux or Windows I can copy and
    paste by using the common keyboard shortcuts ctrl-c and ctrl-v.
    Searching the web I found discussions here and there, some very old,
    but none of them was realy solved or gave me an idea of what I could
    try to change in order to make c&p work under Mac OSX.
    So I need a little help. First I'd like to know if copy & paste works when
    the app runs as applet or standalone application (the jar file can do both).
    And, of course: why doesn't copy and paste work under Mac OSX?
    The application can be found here (released under the GPL):
    http://transtoba2.seige.net/
    And please be mild, it is still in beta state. ;-)
    Best regards
    Leander

    The following link helped me understand an issue with copy and paste
    http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-12078
    It seems to be down to the L&F you are using and how the key bindings are mapped.
    In summary
    OSX 10.4 , Safari and Firefox
    To copy/paste in the Applet � Ctrl-C , Ctrl-V
    To paste a value from Altio into the OSX environment use ^ V (^ is the Apple key)
    To paste a value from OSX into Altio use Ctrl-V
    Hope this works for you

  • Trying to re-create a OSX dock menu system

    Hey ok so I have this file I'm working on

  • IMac 5 running Mountain Lion I get message "your Mac OSX start up disc has no more space available for application memory" I have moved approx. 6 apps from the dock but still get same message,what e

    Receiving message  "your Mac OSX start up disc has no more space available for application memory."
    This has just started in past week, I removed about 6 apps from dock to see if it cleared it but message still appears.  Mac is iMac 5 with Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
    Would appreciate some help.
    Barb

    The message has nothing to do with available disk space. There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
    That can happen for two reasons:
    You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
    You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the  Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • Application builder mac osx error

    Hmmm... I once had an error "duplicate path" when building.
    As far as I can remember it was because I had several folders on my hard drive with different versions of the my soft and the problem was that 2 VIs with the same name were loaded from different place.
    Could it be the same for you ?

  • "Your Mac OSX startup disk has no more space available for application memory" - uploading files problem

    Hi everyone,
    I'm running a late-2012 27 inch iMac - 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 with the 3TB fusion drive, OS 10.8.4. At present there is 1.92TB of available storage.
    I have received this message "Your Mac OSX startup disk has no more space available for application memory" just before a full on crash multiple times in the past couple of days whilst using WeTransfer to send over some large files (500MB+). The applications I have had open at the time have been: Activity Monitor, App Store, Firefox, and Finder. Over the course of uploading the files, the active system memory has gone from 1.04GB and steadily increased until it more or less maxes out around 29GB, at which point the Page Outs rocket up to around 40GB/s and the swap memory fills up pretty quickly until the computer basically can't take any more and blacks out.
    This is a pretty new thing, haven't really had an issues before. My main software used: Sibelius 7 & Logic Pro X. I've also recently started working with Final Cut Pro X, which seems to have been struggling at points. I've tried closing everything, restarting the computer and not opening anything (specifically NOT FCPX) before attempting an upload. I've even gone so far as to remove FCPX from my system, and yet the problem is still recurring. Both "kernal_task" and "WindowServer" have been running high on CPU when these problems have occurred.
    Does anyone know what might be the issue and how it could possibly be resolved?
    Really appreciate any help, I'm in the middle of a fairly sizeable project and the deadlines are just around the corner.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • Regarding java application bundle for Mac OSx

    Hi,
    I made a java application to distribute on Mac osx. I created folder .app structure according to mac application.
    The application is being successfully launched by double click on Myapplication.app on Mac Osx which contains Java5.
    Its not launching the application on Mac with Java6. I searched for the problem then I found that the current shipped JavaApplicationStub file is for Java5. I copied the JavaApplicationStub file from the Mac (which have java6) from /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub" and replace it in my application bundle. Now application is being launched in java6 with double click.
    I am looking for a solution which works on all Mac with different jre versions. I search for this.
    http://www.informagen.com/JarBundler/StubFile.html
    here I found, that we can create symbolic link.... I have no idea about this how to do that. I am not using any jarbundler to bundle my application.
    How can I get my application working on all Macs with different version of jre ?
    Thanks

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

  • I restarted my mac and many apps and files disappeared. It's like it booted to a state several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?

    It's like it booted to a state it was in several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?
    The files on my desktop are not the ones that were there when I shut down. It's like it's gone back in time.
    My display's power supply got fried (I think) in a power outage so I bought a new one. However, every time I restart the display usually stays black. I have found I need to keep rebooting until it kicks in and starts working. I unplug everything, wait a while (a few minutes to overnight) and try booting again.
    This last time the display finally came on but I'm faced with this problem. I used to use time machine, but I deleted everything and disabled it a couple months ago or more so I'm at aloss as to why the mac is booting into the state it was in sevearl months ago.
    What could I have done to cause this? Has this ever happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
    Note: I did a search for a file I knew was created today. I found it and it showed that it was a file I had saved on the desktop this morning--even though that file's icon is not appearing on the desktop now.
    I did a search for photoshop and saw my CS5 version listed.
    However, I did a couple more searches and these files no longer appear in the search. I don't know if they're there or not. This is bizarre!
    I'm on a Mac Pro, 10.6.2.

    Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
    It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
    I'm back to normal again.
