10.5.1 Doesn't fix two key problems

I realise that no update to an operating system will fix everyone's problems. However, here are two most annoying things about Leopard that I would sure like to have fixed.
1) Repairing permissions. In 10.5 I would try to repair permissions. The barber pole would spin around indefinitely, and finally permissions would be repaired. In 10.5.1 the barber pole does not appear, but I get the progress bar chugging along indefinitely, and finally permissions are repaired. Considering permissions repair is supposed to be routine maintenance in OSX, I would have hoped that Apple would make it just as speedy as in 10.4.
2) Administrator password. The only way I can shut down or restart my computer is by logging off all users, including myself. Otherwise I get a message that my password is incorrect. However, my password is recognised at other times, such as doing Software Update. This is particularly vexatious.
Has anyone got a suggestion?
Thanks!

Interesting. My main screen has the higher resolution and is my main monitor. I tried the experiment someone mentioned of moving the menu bar over to the second, lower resolution screen, and then QuickLooked a file on the Desktop from there--the preview opened on my big monitor even though it was no longer the main monitor. So you are correct, and it is a bug. Be sure to send Apple feedback:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Or you can join Apple Developer Connection and file a bug a report--although obviously some people have already filed bug reports on the issue. It would still be worthwhile to at least send feedback, sticky wheel gets the grease sort of thing.

  • ADFS roll up 2 hot fix useRelayStateForIdpInitiatedSignOn key problem

    Hi All,<o:p></o:p>
    I have on ADFS server and one ADFS proxy .<o:p></o:p>
    I was using the key  <useRelayStateForIdpInitiatedSignOn enabled="true" />
    in my ADFS/ls configuration file.<o:p></o:p>
    To use this key we have installed the HOT fix roll up 2. (Microsoft windows kb2681584)<o:p></o:p>
    This hot fix was recommended to make ADFS 2.0 consume the RelayState for SAML application integrations.<o:p></o:p>
    But now suddenly my application is not able to use this key in ADFS/ls configuration file.<o:p></o:p>
    Is this hot fix setup got corrupt ? Should I reinstall this hot fix again and will  re installing  impact
    my ADFS 2.0 environment.<o:p></o:p>
    Can anybody tell me how I can fix this issue.
    Thanks in advance<o:p></o:p>

    Hi All ,
    After re-installing the HotFix I was able to resolve this problem.
    It requires the server to restart once installation is complete.
    On restart, the key <useRelayStateForIdpInitiatedSignOn enabled="true" /> was
    being used in ADFS/LS configuration file.

  • Photoshop CS5 update doesn't fix artifact problem in the menu bar !

    Hi to all,
    I've installed the new update (december 7) recommended by Adobe, but that doesn't fix the Artifact problems in the menu bar !!!
    More, with my Windows 7 Pro (French language), Photoshop CS5 video pilot create artifacts in the menu bar in several situations.
    With Windows classic Theme chosen, theme management disabled:
    1. Opening a photo and applying a filter (especially Noise Reduction).
    2. Opening a photo and changing some preferences.
    3. Opening a photo with Windows 7 File Explorer working cause the pilot to crash with a black screen, ans followed by a message saying that Win 7 has recovered the video pilot.
    To suppress most of the problems, I need to Activate "Themes" and choose an Aero theme or the Basic Theme.
    I also need to activate some items that slow the PC !
    Very strange !
    Could someone help, me please ?
    Have a Nice Day.
    Thierry

    Yes, I've an Asus ENGT220/G/DI/1GD3, tried Windows default pilot, 2009 Asus pilot "nv19045_Win7Vista64.zip", and 2010 latest version "nv25919_Win7Vista64.zip", no change !
    More, I've exchanged the video car by a "monster" ENGTX465 with it's driver, NO CHANGE !
    So what to do ?!
    Help, please !

  • How to Run sequencially two Key-Commit triggers with different scope

    Hi all
    I have two Key-Commit triggers at form and Block level. Form level trigger is inherited from a library. In block level trigger, I have some additional checks. What I want is, to execute the Block level trigger first and than the form level. I tried working with the override/Before/after property of triggers which does the job of sequencing execution but the Raise Form_Trigger_Failure in the block level trigger doesn't stop the execution of form level trigger. Block level trigger does the checks and display corresponding alerts but than the form level trigger also executes.
    I don't wanna copy the code from Form level trigger to the block level trigger as it is common to whole application and may need some additional coding/ bug fixing later.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    RMA

    Thanks for all the help.
    In Key-Commit trigger I am just setting the Blocks' properties, nothing special, the main checks are in On-Commit trigger. I also understand the work around by using a user defined trigger but, to my knowledge, Oracle doesn't recommend it.
    My form has two datablocks, Parent and a child. The entered quantity in the Master block needs to be verified against the Number of units entered in the child block. If they are not the same, I want the alert and stop execution.
    Now I am using Pre-Insert trigger in the master block but was a little surprised because of the sequencing behavior. My understanding was that RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE stops execution of all the code after it even is it is in another trigger/procedure ..but now it appears that I was wrong :-(
    Any suggestions??

    If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
    You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
    Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
    Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

  • Is there a way to detect two keys at the same time?

    Is there a way to detect the keys if the user is holding two keys down at the same time?

    yes, but you'll have to check outside of the event loop (i.e. don't check for it in the keyPressed method).
    just use an array of keys that keeps track of which keys are currently down and which are up. you could use a boolean array but I use an int array because... Im not sure I've just done it probably because of my C background. anyway, basic setup:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class MultiKey extends JFrame {
         int keys[];
         public MultiKey() {
              super();
              keys = new int[256];
              Arrays.fill(keys,0); // 0 = key is up
              enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
              show();
         public void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) {
              // the 0xff below binds the key code to below 256
              int key = (e.getKeyCode()&0xff);
              if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) {
                   keys[key] = 1; // 1 = key is down
              else if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED) {
                   keys[key] = 0; // 0 = key is up
         protected boolean isKeyDown(int key) {
              return (keys[key] != 0);
         protected boolean isKeyUp(int key) {
              return (keys[key] == 0);
    }so now at any time in your code you can check key state by using the isKeyUp and isKeyDown methods. this is about as close as you get to input polling in java unless you use LWJGL or something similiar ;)
    you can try out a full executable example at my site here - just open up the jar and start holding keys down :)

  • Certificate [Thumbprint SOME THUMBPRINT] issued to 'CLientMachineName' doesn't have private key or caller doesn't have access to private key.

    Hi,    We are trying to get a client to communicate with the primary Config Manager Site System(MP/DP).
    We have a Config Manager Client Template that was setup using this guide. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682023.aspx
    We have a Client Cert on the primary site system server (primary config manager server)  based on this template and it meets the requirements specified in this document
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg699362.aspx
             Enhanced Key Usage value must contain
    Client Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2).   
             Client computers must have a unique value in the Subject Name field or in the Subject Alternative Name field.
             SHA-1and SHA-2 hash algorithms are supported.
             Maximum supported key length is 2048 bits.
    The Cert that we generated for the client meets the same requirements and shows the exact same template id but has a different subject name and alternate name (which is the clients machine name).
    With this setup, we still get the following error
    Certificate [Thumbprint  SOME THUMBPRINT] issued to 'CLientMachineName' doesn't have private key or caller doesn't have access to private key.
    Both the site system and client have the same trusted root cert installed.
    What are we missing or what can we check?    Does the cert check process only need the client certs on both the site system and the client to be from the same template?
    Here is a snippet of the clientidmanagerstartup.log

  • Quick time 7 pro previously paid doesn't accept my keys to register in Lion, what should I do?

    I bought down Quit Time 7 Pro for OSX Tiger years ago, but recently I upgrade to Lion and QT7-Pro doesn't acept my Keys anymore.
    What should I do?, pay the full price again?
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance!

    I bought down Quit Time 7 Pro for OSX Tiger years ago, but recently I upgrade to Lion and QT7-Pro doesn't acept my Keys anymore.
    Do you have QT 7 v7.6.6 installed on your Lion system? Are you trying to key QT X.1 or QT 7 for "Pro" use? Are you entering both the Registration Name under which you purchased the key (to include any salutation used like Mr. or Dr.) along with the key? Is the key for QT 6, QT 7, for a Windows or Mac platform?
    What should I do?, pay the full price again?
    Not if the original key was for a Mac platform version of QT 7 and you are correctly entering both the Registration Key and purchaser Registration Name in the "Registration..." window under the "QuickTime 7" menu as described HERE. If you are unsure about either the key or the name used for your purchase, don't have your purchase confirmation email, and the key was purchased at the US Apple Store, then you can review the purchae information by signing in HERE.

    My wifi greyed out since iOS 7, the hair dryer did fix the problem for a day. But it greyed out again after a day, and now the 7.1 update doesn't fix that ****???

    Have you followed the steps listed in iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Support - Apple?
    If not, do so immediately.  Also, try: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device.
    The software update is not the cause of the problem.  It is possible, however, that your hardware (i.e., the wi-fi chip) had a hidden problem, probably with heat tolerance, and the heat generated from the iOS update (the processor creates more heat the harder it works) pushed it past its tolerance.
