AI opens slowly, then when it finally does open, everything is outlined

Slowly over the past couple of weeks, AI has been getting slower and slower. It finally has decided to open all files like this image and I can't figure out how to view the workspace normally.
Any tips? Should I reinstall? (Running AI CC 2014 on OSX 10.9.4) Thanks!

Oh my gosh. Well now I feel silly. I went through preferences.... view.... Thanks!

MacBook Air won't wake up, and when it finally does the clock is wrong.

I've got a 13-inch Late 2010 MacBook Air that since yesterday has been very difficult to wake up. Battery is fully charged, but opening and closing it, hitting keys, pressing power button and clicking trackpad caused no response. Eventually it seems to wake up on its own after minutes or hours of frustration. The last time holding down the power button for several seconds seemed to finally wake the machine up (not turn it off as I would expect) – though holding down the power button had no effect previous times I had this problem.
When the machine finally decides to wake, the clock is wrong. Correct time zone, correct date, but slow some minutes or some hours. Eventually it will connect to the time server and reset to the correct time.
The first time I finally got it awake, I reset the PMU and zapped the PRAM, but those seemed to have no effect.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing these problems? Thanks muchly!

Exactly same problem. wake up from sleeps causes black screen (not always, but often).
moving the mouse unvovers the regular login-screen. then everthing works fine.
didn't try to close and reopen thee lid. thanks for the tip!
PRAM & NVRAM reset and safe boot already tried. unfortunately did not change anything.
Great machine anyway!
Thanks for any help!

Premiere hesitates to play anything on my timeline, and when it finally does it's all choppy. How do I fix this?

I am used to using older versions of premiere, and I've never run into this problem. I worked on my video just yesterday and everything was working fine, and today it waits for like a minute or two before playing anything on my timeline. When it does play, the video is choppy, and the controls are unresponsive. I have checked to see if it's a renderer problem but i can only use the mercury playback software, and it has no problem playing any of the media when i view it in the source monitor. I've tried closing the program and opening it again, and I've tried turning my computer off and then back on as well and it still gives me the same problems. I have even go so far as to try one of the back up saved files and it still has the same issue. Can anyone help?

Hy ... Check your Videocodec for the Preview and Programmonitor... Sometimes it gets hard with h264 so i'm using ProRes 422 ... u find it in the settings of your sequenze, if not u should check how much cache you let premiere use!

Firefox has trouble initiating, and when it finally does, every time I attempt to interact with the application it stops responding.

Firefox won’t initialize: I can open any program on my computer except for Firefox so it isn't that my computer is slow. It doesn't open at all no matter how long I wait. I've left the room and let the computer run before and it still wasn’t running when I came back. After a few clicks it finally it comes up, and I have to wait because I’ve clicked multiple times so of course it's going to open multiple times. When I'm online after successfully closing all but one Firefox window so that I don't crash my poor laptop, every time I attempt to interact with the program via clicking a link, opening a new tab, or typing something into the URL bar, the program freezes and goes into the not responding stage. Rarely, an unresponsive script message will pop up.

See:

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Screen vibrates when booting up. It fluctuates very fast between Safari and Microsoft Messenger. Back and forth .... flicking away .... back and forth, very, very, quickly. And then when its completely finished booting, everything is OK.

I sign in and when Safari opens, whilst Microsoft Messenger is downloading, the monitor screen vibrates between Safari and Messenger at a very, very, fast pace. Back and forth, back and forth, alternating between the two. When the booting process is completed the computer is fine. Everything is OK. Anyone know what is causing this, and what to do about it?

YES .... but they have always been set to open at login. I must admit that if Messenger isn't set to open at login this doesn't happen. But even though Safari opens at login, the opening page in Safari doesn't open; I have to click on Safari again, (when I am reminded after the computer has booted-up), because the monitor screen is just blank! Then after a click on the Safari icon the screen fills up in a second. Gees, what have I unintentionally done?

I updated my contacts on icloud and then when i went back in everything i deleted or changed was back, why and how can I stop it?

We have 3 phones and 2 ipads that sync to the same icloud.

Yes, it should work, but to be on the safe site, just start with a new backup in iTunes first.

When I try to log into my ipod it wont slide the slide to unlock thing and then when i try to type my password in it wont press the numbers i want. How do I fix it??

Dear iTunes,
So my iPod touch 4th generation 16 gigs. has about 5 long cracks along the screen and I guess whenever I try to log into it, I cant.. I cant slide the "slide to unlock" thing. It will just there. Then when I finally got it to open up and I had to type my password in, it wouldnt let me. It would just type the wrong numbers in. Well Its getting really frusterating, and I have taken this iPod back multiple time in the last year. To be quite honest, Im getting ****** off. I WANT MY IPOD TO WORK. Also I have turned it off for quite a while and turned it back on, but nothing will work!!!!!! I NEED HELP.
Sincerely,
Alie Toole.

With a cracked screen, though, you need to take it to an Apple store genius bar and get an out-of-warranty replacement. That is $99 for that model.

When I open an email, my computer won't go to the link listed, or when I am doing research the same thing, then I see a ALLOW in the upper right hand corner of the screen and I have to click on that. What happened and how do I fix this?

Somehow my settings have changed. When I open an email and there is a link, my computer won't allow it, also when I am doing a search, my computer won't allow certain links to open.
What I see is "ALLOW" in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and I have to click on that in order to continue my email or do a search. How did this suddenly happen and how do I change it back to being able to roam the Internet without having to click on ALLOW all the time?
Also, I set up Google as my home page, but it won't list Email or any other options. I have to type in Google in the Google box, then Email appears. How do I get the right Google set up as my home page so I can access Email without jumping through hoops.
Thanking you so much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. How do I get them back?

The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. When I looked in the trash, I saw two things labled "iTunes library extras", and "iTunes library genius". When I tried opening them, it said that I needed to open them with an application, and that I needed to chose one. I chose iTunes. When I tried double clicking on "iTunes library extras" after this, all it did was open up iTunes. Nothing else. Someone please help me because I had a lot of songs that I liked, and recently downloaded. And it will be a pain to get them all back if no one can help me.

Are the files still physically on your HD?
[User]/Music/iTunes/Media/Music is the default location. Unless you suddenly have a bunch of new "free space" on your hard drive, they're still where they were, you just need to create a new library file.

When I open iWeb it does not "Highlight" the New site or new page options. It ahs had this issue for over a year! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it. What do I do? It opens the tutorial video, then when you close it, nothing else is clickable.

Open iPhoto, select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option. That has jump started iWeb for others. I could take a couple of tries.
If that doesn't work try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iWeb and try again.

I tried to save a video to IPhoto, and then when I tried to open IPhoto it told me I can't open the application because classic environment is no longer supported. What does this mean, and how do I get back all my photos and fix this? thanks.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

ICloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail. Anyone experiencing this and what is apple doing about this?

I like many have been experiencing mail problems since I migrated to iCloud. Was working fine for a bit, then I now either get crashes or a revolving beachball when I attempt to type an email address. Have tried quitting and rebooting...you name it. What is Apple saying or doing to fix the problem. Been like this all weekend.

iCloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail.
That doesn't necessarily mean the mail is down in iCloud.
You can always check iCloud system status here.
If you are using Safari to access iCloud.com, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
Now go the menu bar again and click Safari / Reset Safari.
Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
Quit then relaunch Safari, go to iCloud.com
Try Mail.

I have saved my project to my harddrive and then when I try to open it on another computer that uses final cut I am unable to open the edited project

i have saved my project to my harddrive and then when I try to open it on another computer that uses final cut I am unable to open and edit the project

Assuming this is an external HD, use finder to select the drive with your original computer, then press Cmd+i to show info. Go to the bottom of the info window and make sure 'Ignore ownership of this volume' is checked so that other computers can access it.
