2 monitor workspace windows not working

iMac Yosemite 10.10.2
2 displays
Mission Control "Displays have separate Spaces" OFF
InDesign CC 2014 (up to date)
PROBLEM:
I keep my Palettes/Windows on 2nd monitor
Have custom Workspace (as I've had for years)
After recent InDesign, and Yosemite updates
Launched ID and the Swatches palette jumped to my main screen
Put it back where it belonged
When I go to access some functions (i.e., Color Swatch, Character Style...) I get a "Bonk" and nothing happens.
If I draw a rectangle, I can add a stroke, change thickness, but not color.
If I move the Palette/Window to the main display, everything works fine.
Tried setting up new workspace, used Adobe preset workspaces, same problem.
Anyone else???

I will keep tabs on both of them, but who should we be looking to for the fix, Apple or Adobe?

IPS event monitor and reports not working

Dear after upgrading my IPS from E3 to E4  the event monitor and reports not working, can you please advice my to solve this issues

Hi All,

The filter works partially as I don't get alerts on the IPS itself.

How can I deactivate Adobe Acrobat 8 on a laptop with a monitor that does not work?

Or is there some work-around I can use? I got a new laptop and have reinstalled the program but I keep getting a pop-up that wants me to register it again. I have but it keeps popping up. I read in the user's guide for this version that "Note: If you want to install the software on a different computer, you must first deactivate the software on your computer: Choose Help > Activation > Deactivate." I figure that that is what the problem is. So now what do I do? It is a little hard to "choose" when the monitor is black.
As an added complication I am now getting an error message on the pop-up that tell me "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet." Help!!!
I am currently using a Sony Vaio T Series Ultrabook now with Windows 8. My old laptop was a Compaq and was using Windows XP Home Edition. It was about 10 years old.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Can you plug in a remote monitor? You may have to use the Fn key with the screen icon typically along the function keys to change to the external monitor. If that works, then do what you need. You might also try putting the HD in another machine and see if it works there.

[SOLVED]Xmonad bitmap workspace names not working?

I don't have a great deal of space on my screen, so I thought I'd save some by using icons instead of names for my workspaces. I have written my xmonad.hs as closely to every example I've found without redoing my entire xmonad.hs and it still puts '^p(5)^i(/home/nfarley88/.dzenicons/terminal.xbm)^p(5)' instead of the actual bitmap for the workspace title!

EPM 11122 to 11123 upgrade issue: Links in Workspace does not work

Hi John & All,
We have an existing EPM 11.1.2.2 installed on Linux & windows platforms. This is a planning & HFR domain. Except FDM, Dimension server, HFR all other services are out of Linux server.
Linux - ServerA (Physical server). However we access all URLs using a different DNS alias ServerC which points to ServerA
Windows - ServerB
Followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40248_01/epm.1112/epm_install/frameset.htm?ch10s05.html for upgrade.
Installation and configuration went well. We are using Embedded http server. In the final step of web server configuration
- Did the configure web server with Embedded ( port 28080). It was successful.
- Then in WL console changed the Listening address to ServerC for all managed servers including Admin server
- Then using configtool ran the step "configure logical web addresses"
- Here selected set logical addresses for services individually & then for all services running on ServerA
(workspace/shared services/aif/aps/datasync/planning/eas/calc)
set them to ServerC:28080 (DNS alias)
And for services running on Windows BPMA & FDM set to ServerB:80
This went through well.
Started all the services. All WL services came up without issues. CAn login to Workspace & shared services. I can see the look and feel changes and can see all new EPM 11123 icons under "Navigate-->Administer". But when I click on any of the links (Dimension lib/Application lib/planning/Data management etc) all fail with similar error
"A Not found error occured while communication with server". In show details it says for example...
URI: http://ServerC:28080/awb/conf/AwbConfig.xml - status 404 not found"
For each application the error is similar http://ServerC:28080/<context> - status 404 not found
Obviously the Logical web address set to 28080 is not working. But all the below URLS work fine
http://serverC:9365/aps/APS
http://serverC:8300/HyperionPlanning/conf/HspJSConfig.xml
http://serverC:19091/awb/conf/AwbConfig.xml
http://serverC:8500/calcmgr/conf/CalcMgrConfig.xml
http://serverC:19091/awb/conf/AwbConfig.xml
http://serverC:28080/workspace
To fix this issues, tried reconfiguring Logical web address to all individual application, this time to correct respective ports where they are listening instead of 28080. As I can see only workspace is working on 28080.
I can see this new configuration updated in registry. Bounced the domain including Admin server. But the issue persists. For each link, it is still looking for old Logical web URL "http:serverc:28080/<context> instead of picking up new Logical addresses configured.
Please suggest ways to fix the issue.

Issue got resolved after installing OHS instead of using embedded http server. In OHA it gives the flexibility to point to DNS alias.

New Browser Window not working on My Mac Intel pro

I have set a behavior in Dreamweaver CS3 to open a new
browser window to a set size and to only show scroll bars if
needed. I have left all other attributes unchecked. This is not
working for me. Can you tell me how to make a new browser window to
my settings using the behaviors in Dreamweaver CS3? I do all the
steps right. what do I do when I follow all the steps for setting
up a new browser window correctly and it doesn't work!? The new
browser window never pops up even when i use an image map. The
Behavior is not working correctly and I even re-installed
Dreamweaver CS3. I am on an intel based mac pro. Running Firefox
version 3 and Safari 3.1.2 on Leopard. I have done this several
times before and it has worked. but that was before Leopard. Here
is my code:
<area shape="rect" coords="4,3,78,77" href="#"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('images/02.jpg','','width=378,height=504')">
The only way I can get it to halfway work is add it into the
link area
on the properties panel. The window will then open but not to
the
specified size.?
please advise as this is taking a long time to figure out!?

This is an unusual way to go about doing this. Typically you
simply put
the thumbnails up on the page rather than combining them into
a collage
and then adding imagemaps to that.
Nevertheless, it can be done.
You have code like this:
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,80,80" href="images/12.jpg"
target="_blank"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('images/12.jpg','','width=378,height=504')">
Try adding
;return false
to each like this:
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,80,80" href="images/12.jpg"
target="_blank"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('images/12.jpg','','width=378,height=504');return
false">

External display monitor suddenly is not working; power is on

Hello,
My LG external monitor display suddenly is not working today. It powers on, and it says "analog power saving mode", and it is detected by my ibook G4. When I go to preferences, and show displays, it shows that two displays are active, my laptop "Color LCD" and my external, "L1932Tq". If the external is plugged in, it indicates that that is the system in use, though the external monitor is black and unresponding (except for power light which is on). I replaced all cords - the power cord and the mini VGA cord and it's connecting cord to the monitor, and there are no changes.
Is this monitor just suddenly broken, perhaps through it's internal connection devices??
Thanks!!

Second monitor on iMac not working with Lion

I have a mid-2011 Thunderbolt 21.5" iMac. A secondary monitor is connected to the iMac with a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable (a single cable, not an adaptor and cable).
When I was running Snow Leopard, the monitor worked just fine. After upgrading to Lion, the second monitor just has a black screen, and quickly goes into power save mode.
I have already tried resetting the NVRAM (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379) and resetting the SMC (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).
Has anyone seen this problem? Any other suggestions for solutions?

same here, just performed the upgrade to Lion and my secondary Samsung screen (direct HDMI cable) do not work anymore (I have a mid 2011 iMac 21.5'').
I have tried the tricks mentioned on the following discussion:
No Signal on HDMI TV After Lion Upgrade
ie open terminal
cd /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-410c/
sudo mv DisplayProductID-0 DisplayProductID-0.old
Reboot after entering the commands
But it is not working, the developper clearly messed up the video output in Lion OS!!!
Let me know if you have a solution, I am reduced to single screen use in the meantime... and regret the upgrade...
Thanks

Every time Firefox opened

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Preview Window Not Working

Problem:
The preview window in the top right of iMovie 08 does not work. It is either checkered or black.
Possible Solution:
If your iMovie project is using video from an event that has a lot of video in it, split that event up. Do this via right click->Split Event Before Click.
Background:
When I would start up iMovie '08 (7.1.4) everything worked fine until I clicked on a certain project that I had made. Then the preview window would not work--it showed a blank screen or was checkered, even though the audio would play. Weird things would continue to happen, and none of the other projects would play in the preview window, it seemed to get progressively worse.
The project used video from an even that had a lot more video in it than other events I was using. It had 45:45 and the others less than 30min. I split the event up half way via right-clicking about half way and then selecting "Split Event Before Clip". This split the event into two events, and everything works fine now. (When you split the event, you need not worry about messing up your project, it knows that you have split the event and can still find the video.)

Well, I just seemed to have solved the problem...at least as I was experiencing it. As mentioned, I have my Motion content on an external drive, so I decided to revisit this.
I had installed all my Final Cut Studio content on the external drive using the "Content Installer" (after first installing the apps to my laptop). When opening Motion for the first time, it couldn't find the content so I manually typed in the appropriate path...or so I thought:
250GB Drive : Final Cut Studio Content : Motion Content.
Oddly enough, a few things worked this way, but not everything. It turns out I had to specifically point one folder deeper:
250GB Drive : Final Cut Studio Content : Motion Content : Motion
After doing this, all my content seems to preview, although there still are a few anomalies. Some things have to be clicked on more than once to preview, or sometimes I must preview something else first, then try the desired effect a second time. In some cases waiting quite a while produces something.
I'll try moving the cursor about as Mabou suggested and see if that makes any difference.
At least I'm getting somewhere!
Thanks,
Doug

Going to files by typing in Finder window not working

My entire life using Mac OSX I have opened finder windows and then began typing the name of the file or folder I wanted in order to get the finder to select that file/folder.
For example, if I have my home open I just type "Do" and the Documents folder gets selected. Then I can hit Cmd-O to open it.
This stopped working today, and I'm perplexed and annoyed about it.
I installed the Security Update 2006-007 last night and so I'm wondering if that broke this.
Anyone having the same problem/know how to fix it. Not being able to do this is making using my computer significantly more annoying.
Thanks you!

Also, I just tried clicking on the sidebar (I tried applications, desktop, and documents) and it will not navigate away from this window. If I exit the window and open a different finder window, it works. So what is it about this particular folder?

Finder window not working properly

This only just started happening, and it only seems to be happening to one or two folders...
First of all, this is what it looks like
as you can see, the file names look funky.
Also, if I edit a picture or delete one, it doesn't register the change unless I exit the folder and bring it back up.
Anyone know what's going on here and how I can fix it? This also happened when I tried to make a ringtone a few weeks back. I am running Yosemite.
