1.1 Intel-Mac: Disappearing text after switching from Firefox

I have LR and Firefox open. I switch to Firefox to use the web for 10-15 mins.
When I switch back to LR all of the text on the interface is gone.
A restart of the app fixes it..

I have seen his sort of thing on rare occasion with some of the early 1.1s. Could never pin it to anything and a restart always fixed it. Somethimes I would go off do something else and then come back to, as you say, no text. I probably should have reported it anyhow, now that smeone else is seeing this.

Blurry font after switching from WinXP to Win 7 (Was:Schrift im Dreamweaver CS 3 verschwommen)

<Preran> For the benefit of moderators here, I used Google to translate your content into English:
Good day,
I have problems with blurry font in Dreamweaver CS3 after switching from Windows XP to Windows 7
I have already tried the following:
In "Edit" Preferences "change font size" - unfortunately that does not work. (which had worked fine in the previous changeover to Windows XP)
Then I got in the forum www. office-loesungen.de the tip, sometimes seen on the control panel display, which percentage is set.
When I got the set to the mean value, the writing was not so blurry, but still not really readable.
Experiments with Clear adjust TypeText were not successful.
There is a trick, so the font is larger
If I have to "small" hinders the size that was at 0.75 in the previous pages, it is readable for me, so I could enter the text and read it.
However, the text is then when uploading larger.
What can I do now?
For speedy help I would be grateful
Best regards
Guten Tag,
ich habe Probleme mit verschwommener Schrift im Dreamweaver CS3 nach der Umstellung von Windows XP auf Windows 7.
Ich habe folgendes schon probiert:
Bei „Bearbeiten“ und Voreinstellungen „Schriftgröße ändern“- das funktioniert leider nicht. (das hatte bei der letzten Umstellung auf Windows XP wunderbar geklappt)
Dann bekam ich im Forum www. office-loesungen.de den Tipp, mal über die Systemsteuerung-Anzeige zu sehen, welcher Prozentwert eingestellt ist.
Als ich den auf den mittleren Wert eingestellt habe, war die Schrift schon nicht mehr ganz so verschwommen, aber immer noch nicht richtig lesbar.
Auch Versuche mit Clear Type Text anpassen waren nicht erfolgreich.
Einen Trick gibt es, wodurch die Schrift größer wird
Wenn ich die Größe, die bei den bisherigen Seiten bei 0,75 lag , auf „klein“ verstelle, ist es für mich lesbar, ich könnte den Text so eingeben und auch lesen.
Allerdings wird der Text dann beim Hochladen auch größer.
Was kann ich jetzt tun?
Für baldige Hilfe wäre ich dankbar
Mit freundlichem Gruss

I've done this multiple times and it produces essentially the same message, but there is a mention that a restart is pending. This is also strange because this is definitely not the case. First time I used CScleaner it took a while and was obviously busy correcting something. However now when I select clean all, it simply dumps anopther massive log file into AppData and says cleaning completed successfully. Now I just ran it again, so would you like me to post the more recent log file?

NI-4060 giving invalid 1st reading after switching from or to LOW Resistance Measurements

We've been using TestStand & LabView to test various Circuit board. On series of test involves checking for a short circuit (Measure Low Resistance 4-wire) then measuring for a 3.5Vrms signal on another part of the board.
For each measurement, the following NI-DMM VI's are used in order:
niDMMInit, niDMMAutoZero, niDMMConfigure, niDMMMeasure, niDMMClose.
If we do the Low Resistance 4WR measurement, then a AC V measurement, the 1st reading from the DMM is approx 10x too high, if a 2nd reading it done it is then OK.
It doesn't matter how long a delay is before we take the 1st measurement, it's always approx a factor of 1E+1 out.
If however we don't do a Low Restance prior to
the AC V measurement, then the measurement is always correct.
I expermented with turning AutoZero on & off, and various resolution settings, however none of these seem to have an effect on the result.
Can anyone explain these strange results?
Thanks

Thanks, after playing with a few more settings I found if I turned the Cacheing off niDMMInitWithOptions, with "Cache=0" that everything worked fine, but it would take a couple of seconds to get the first AC measurement after switching from resistance.

Hi,
That particualr error should be solved by adding the following parameter to your instance profile:
jstartup/vm/parameters = -XX:-ExtendedExceptionMessages
The issue is related to note 1693118

Some issues after switching from 686 to x86_64

Hi all,
after switching from i686 to x86_64 using this link I am now facing some minor issues with some packages. I already activated the multilib repository but some problems remain. I checked the binaries in /usr/bin for 32 bit executables as described in the above link and there are 177 "bad" binaries left. I thought all of these were not executable, but surprisingly wine was. Strange!
ffmpeg is another 32 bit executable and not runnable. So I tried to reinstall it, but that failed:
> pacman -S ffmpeg
warning: ffmpeg-1:2.6.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
libx264 is installed and didn't want to be reinstalled either:
> pacman -S libx264
warning: libx264-2:144.20150223-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg: requires libx264.so=144-32
:: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
Can someone give me a hint, what's the best way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance, Zmann

I think the first issue you will run in to is that the interface for an old P4 hdd will probably not be the same as a new computer. Besides that, it will probably be vastly slower than what comes with a new computer. I think that is not the best idea.
The only wat to really "trasition" between two archtectures that I know of is to copy configuration files over and have pacman dump a list of explicitly installed packages from the main repos. Then use that information to reinstall all those packages.

Why have many of my add-ons and extensions been disabled after switching to firefox 6

Many of my add-ons and extensions have been disabled after switching to Firefox 6.
None of the Java extensions can be used;
my Microsoft frame is disabled;
my media player is gone;
and my google toolbar with all of my important bookmarks is missing.
How can Firefox 6 be considered an "upgrade"?
How can I '''retrieve Firefox 4 or 5'?''--there's no point in using a browser that limits so many necessary add-on sites!

Hi, mhaoo7--
Tried your plugins updating suggestion; no go.
Then tried updating to FF7.
This time the Yahoo! toolbar was no longer compatible with FF.
Scoured sites discussing problems with versions 6 & 7
and decided to retire to version 3.6.19.
Now both Google and Yahoo! toolbars are re-installed and
working....Only deficit may be that FF no longer supports or
soon will not support this version.
I have stashed all of my necessary bookmarks on Google's toolbar;
I like its drop-down menu as it doesn't change the page/window I'm
in the process of using;
I don't want to see that menu listed separately in a new window (too chaotic).
Same for the Google dictionary and Thesaurus, which are straightforward
and easy to use, again requiring nothing more complicated than a drop-down menu
to search for words and concepts.
--I checked Firefox 6 and 7's Dictionary/Thesaurus options but unfortunately
found none.
So if Firefox continues to upgrade with diminished returns, I'll likely have to go
to Google Chrome.
Would rather not do that.
Maybe I can keep FF 3.6.19 without incurring nasty repercussions.
Hope so.
Have enjoyed being with Firefox for a few years.
Thank you for your attention.

Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

Trouble syncing iPod Classic after switching from Windows XP to Mac OS X

I'm using an 80 GB iPod Classic (the first iPod classic to come out) and I've had it for a little over two years. Ever since I've had it, I've been syncing it with a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows XP Professional. Haven't had any problems since buying it.
I recently bought a 13-inch Macbook Pro, and spent a long time transferring my music from my Windows computer over to this one. When it was done, I formatted my iPod Classic for Mac and tried to sync my library. It works slowly and steadily until the syncing freezes at a random song. Usually after about 700-800 songs is when this happens.
Then my iTunes starts moving very slowly and it's impossible to get the iPod to stop syncing or eject properly. I had to force quit the program and eject the iPod's disc before I could try again. I struggled with syncing in this way about 3 times before I gave up. Now I'm trying to add music manually, a little bit at a time.
However, every time I eject the iPod to see if my songs are getting put on there, it says there is no music. When I go to the "about" screen, it says I have memory on the device, but none of it is music.
I've tried reformatting through iTunes and erasing the disc using disc utility. Anything else I should do?

There are plenty of topics on this very question which gets asked fairly often depending on your search criteria.
Short answer is no.
The OS X license agreement provides for installing and using it on a single Apple branded/labeled computer only.
The only way to install Tiger on a PC is via a hack of some sort and even if the hack is successful, very little on your PC would be supported and the overall performance would not be worth the trouble.
> I was reading an artical and found out that the Mac OS X Tiger already has many of the things that the new windows vista has.
What you read is correct and it took Microsoft 5 years to come up with what amounts to a copy of OS X. I read there are 10 separate/different versions of Vista to choose from? How on earth is the average person (or even the above average person) expected to wade through all that confusing mess?
Apple is getting ready to launch a new OS X version called Leopard this spring which will place Windows even father behind.
If you want to run Tiger and Vista, purchase an Intel Mac which gives you the ability to run both operating systems natively on a single computer.

After switching from iphone 4 to iphone 6 i lost sync with iMessage on my mac book

Hello
I have jsut switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. Previously I could use iMessage sync'ed on my iPhone and my Mac-Book. Now I doesn't work anymore. I went into settings->messages->SMS transfert from the iPhone. I saw the Mac Book being referenced but when I put the switch into green it shows a pop-up asking me to pin-in the code that should be shown in Messages from the Mac-Book but nothing is posted there.
I hope I am clear. Just trying to get back to what I used to like as very convenient.
Thanks in advance for help.
Best
Pierre

Hello
In the meantime while I was working on the issue a window popped on my iPhone asking for my password for iCloud. So I wasn't connected to iCloud and after I connected it all went OK and iPhone 6 now coupled with iMessage on the Mac Book.
So I'm fixed and thanks again for your help.
Best

Sync problems after switch from Windows to Mac; cannot read/write error msg

I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
I recently switched from a PC to a Mac. To move my iTunes files (50GB) I simply dragged and dropped them from my external HD to my new computer. I know that Apple does not recommend this process, but when I needed to move my library between drivers earlier this year, it was the only way I could do it without getting an error message that killed the process.
Moving the files seemed to be a success. Everything appeared in iTunes, I was able to play the music, etc.
I then tried synching my iPod (Classic 160 GB – I think 5th gen, it’s about 3 years old) on the new computer. I got some message that said you can only have one iPod per account and that I would have to wipe the iPod before syncing. I let it do that.
Here's where problems began:
With a few gigs to go in the sync I got a message that says something to the effect that iTunes cannot read or write to the iPod. Even though must of the library had been transferred to the iPod, before disconnecting the iPod iTunes wiped all but a few hundred megs worth of music from it. I've tried restoring the iPod a few times but that has had no effect. The first time I tried to sync the iPod it was formatted for Windows. I have reformatted it for Mac.
Also noteworthy is that the first 3/4ths of my library copies very quickly -- 1GB a minute -- but then it eventually slows down to where 100 MB takes 10 minutes. It copies the files in a different order every time, so it doesn't look like it's getting hung up on the same files every time.
In case I had a corrupted file, I deleted all the files added to the library since my last successful sync.
Suggestions?
Should I just go to the nearest Apple store and beg for mercy?

Hi!
same problem here.I can use around 30G of my iPod Classic 160G.If i try to upload more than that it will take very long time and finally freezes.
Have no idea what to do..

Ipod issues after switching from PC to Mac

I finally got my music library and songs moved to the new Intel Mac using the ipod and all is synced up again, however the ipod now moves considerably slower than it used to. Sometimes it takes up to 10 seconds to skip to the next track.
My questions are:
1) Would a restore from the new Mac make things run smoother?
2) If so, before I do, I have more files on the PC I'd like to move over, so I need to complete that first, right?
3) Some of these files on the PC are very large (1-5GB), is that a problem to move them using the ipod?
Thanks for the help!

Intel imac, ipod Photo 60GB Mac OS X (10.4.4) Windows convert!

1. Yes.
2. You can use a product such as MacDrive to read Mac formatted disks on a PC.
3. The FAT32 disk format used by a Windows iPod cannot accomodate files larger than 4GB regardless of the capacity of the drive; either put it in the Mac format and use MacDrive, or compress larger files before putting them onto the iPod. There is no issue with smaller files.

Intel Mac Mini crash. Restore from TimeMachine failed. Reinstall from DVD failed

I am at a loss. My Mac Mini (Intel 2.53ghz, 10.6.7, 4gb RAM) froze today. Mouse would still move the cursor, but nothing responded. After letting it go for perhaps a half hour, waiting for a chance to get control back or to perhaps relaunch Finder, I gave up and turned it off by holding down the power button. On reboot, it would not make it past the startup screen. I inserted the restore DVD that came with this Mac Mini, it booted from the DVD and I tried reinstalling OSX 10.6 from the DVD. It proceeded to around 30% install and crashed. I turned it off again, started up again form the DVD, and went into Disk Utility. I verified the internal HD and it had no errors and nothing to repair. This time I went directly to a restore from my TimeMachine backup. (I had actually installed one new program today, and in case that program was the issue I chose a restore from the morning a few hours before that new program was added.) The restore progressed to 86.6%, then crashed. I saved the installer log to an external drive.
I took a few hours away from it, but came back after a few hours. I attempted to boot from the DVD again, and it would not get beyond the Apple sreen. I turned it off by holding down the power button, unplugged the power supply, and searched online for around 30 minutes. After finding little online, I booted from the DVD again, this time succesfully, and am currently running a TimeMachine restore again which I started after I began typing this entry because, honestly, when I started typing this I didn't think it would boot from the DVD again. At the moment, the resotre is at 12.7%, but considering it crashed at 86.6% last time, I'm not too hopeful.
Any thoughts or advice? I'm not totally freaked out as I keep all documents on two external drives and backed up, in addition to having a 2tb TimeMachine drive with this system, all connected by fw800. But... it's not like I don't want to get this Mac Mini working again. It's from November 2009 an I don't have Apple Care for it, which I suppose means they'll charge me a fortune if I take it in. (I'm grateful to have this 11.6" MacBook Air to work on.)
Until Disk Utility told me that the internal drive was okay, I was thining I should try sticking a new hd inside and reinstalling from there. Not sure what to do if this TimeMachine restore fails. (at 18.5% now.)
My thanks to any who read this.

Thanks for responding. I forgot to come here and delete this thread. As it turned out, I switched from trying to use the OSX Install disc that came with the Mac Mini and instead used a Snow Leopard retail dvd. That disc worked perfectly. Pretty disturbing that the dvd that came with the computer would not work, while a store bought one worked. Glad I bought a retail version of OSX to hackintosh a dell mini or I wouldn't havebeen able to fix this.

External hard drive won't shut down after switch from OS10.5 to OS10.4.11

i recently chanded my OS from 10.5 to 10.4.11 (as a programme i want to use is not compatible with leopard), but since i have done this my external hard-drive won't shut down automatically when i shut down my mac. i have to switch it off at the plug instead.
can anyone suggest how i can get it to do this again?
i'm a little concerned that i'm damaging the external drive by turning it off manually all the time..
thanks

Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.
This is not really a problem as all hard drives spin down after 10- 20 minutes when not in use, whether your computer is on or off. Leaving the drive on is fine, shutting it off manually is fine.
