Anomalies in 10.4.11
Seems OK, but running Disk Utility immediately afterward revealed several permissions problems with items inside the Dock, such as this:
Owner and group corrected on ./System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/Widgets.wdgt/Images/s crollbarmid.png
I'm also finding that the weather and stocks widgets aren't downloading their respective data properly. A typical error message in the console is:
2007-11-14 22:28:19.659 DashboardClient[485] com.apple.widget.weather: Fetching data failed, no <adc_Database>
Anyone else?
Nope, but you can send a bug report (or enhancement request) to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a Bug ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.
Alternatively, send Feedback, but that usually goes through support and marketing.

After waiting a long time I was finally able to upgrade my iMac and install Aperture. For the most part I am pleased with A3 except for getting used to certain anomalies and instability issues encountered in this early version.
I have used iPhoto for as long as it has been out, but wanted more power to handle my growing image collection. I started taking digital pictures with a Kodak DC 120 camera (anyone interested in an antique?) so some of my older pictures are pretty low resolution, and I still shoot with an older Canon PowerShot. I say this because I believe it contributes to one of the anomalies I have run into in A3.
Magnification - on most of my photos I am able to magnify the image as expected, but on my older lower resolution images A3's magnify behaves strangely. For some reason A3's magnify tool will not work. In iPhoto the same image magnifies correctly. I called Apple about this but they were unable to explain it or help. The only suggestion made was that low res images may not be able to be magnified, however I can find no documentation of this.
*Red Eye Tool* - I struggled with getting this tool to work, but after much experimentation I discovered that the size of the cursor is the crucial factor. If the cursor is to small the red-eye effect tool will not work at all. Increasing the size of the cursor solves the problem. Even after discovering this, photos with red eye are poorly corrected in A3, while in iPhoto the correction is excellent.
*Inconsistent application of tool effects* - when using the adjustment tools I find that the way they are applied to the image is not consistent. Most of the tools show the immediate effect of the tool, except for the Red-eye tool and the Crop tool. With these two tools you have to exit the tool or click on some other tool to see the effect applied. This took some getting use to, because at first it appeared that the tools did not work. In iPhoto, these tools use an apply button so you do not have to exit the tool to see it applied.
*Strange interface* - I use keywords extensively, and love the keyword generator feature of nested keywords. This is very helpful in organizing keywords. What is a little strange is the clunky way one has to apply them. The drag and drop method is cumbersome. the buttons which you can display at the bottom of the window is much better, but groupings are limited to 20 buttons, so you end up using the drag and drop method. The search window for keywords lists all of your keywords in one huge alphabetical list and all organization you did in the keyword generator is lost. This seems very strange. Why use nesting of keywords if you can't see the nesting when you need to do a search? It also seems strange that when a nested keyword is applied its related keywords are ignored. For example if I create a nest as follows People>Extended Family>Grandfather Arvid>Bud's family, and apply the keyword _Bud's family_ to a photo, all the higher categories are ignored and only the keyword _Bud's family_ is applied. If I want the other keywords to also apply I have to shift click on the group and drag it over, again the advantage of nesting is lost. Seems like this good idea was not fully developed in A3
*Unexpected crashes, and lock-ups* - I have experienced several crashes of A3 when using tools or editing things like keywords. When this happens the notify Apple box appears and I send it to Apple with my comment, relaunch the program and continue to work. I never seem to loose data so that is a plus. I have also had a couple of lock-ups when the spinning wheel of death appears on the screen. This happened when the program was trying to update thumbnails. I keep the activity monitor open so I can see what is going on. I have had to force quit the program and relaunch.
It appears that A3 is in serious need of an update, but that is not unexpected with this being the 3.0 version. On the whole the program works very well and I am pleased with it. The program is very fast in its 64bit mode, even if, as I have read in this discussion, the iMac boots into 32bit. I am anxiously awaiting an update from Apple.No version of DW will manage links that are embedded in
javascript - is that

Graphic Anomalies, Freezing Yosemite
Hello This issue presented it self some time ago prior to yosemite, Maybe Maverics but lots of people had issues with MT Lion. I recall an update at some point and the issue was gone.. Since Yosemite it has been Back.. Typically I'm just browsing with safari, and ill get blocks,pixels random on the screen they flicker, then eventually freezes i have let it sit and then have gotten white screen that flickers or partial white screen flickers in and out from Wall paper image to white screen. i do have little video of it as well. Etre info is below of al the other things i have read i feel its graphic driver related.. I do have time machine back up from back in 6/2014 and some earlier which was prior to yosemite so i am thinking of going back to that but wondering if any other viable solution? I have sent multiple feedback through the feedback assistant as well to apple. but seemed they were quite slow on this issue few years ago

Your system has been heavily customized as evidenced by all the Internet Plugins you have added, verify all are up-to-date.. It also has some out-of-date software that should either be updated or uninstalled.
If after updating the graphic anomalies still occur then run Apple's Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support in extended mode 2-3 times back to back. The reason to run it multiple times back to back is AHT does not always find errors after the first or second pass, however when it does they are correct. It is possible your GPU is failing. In order to know for sure, you really need to have the machine serviced by an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) who have the proper diagnostic tools to tell. AHT is all you have, it's just not as comprehensive (or accurate) as what the pros have. -
My 5 yr old 2 GHz Intel Core Duo 20" iMac, right after I disconnected
an external HD that had been on the desktop (i.e. I forgot to eject it
properly), started displaying video anomalies (lines); testing
(TechTool Deluxe 3.1.3) indicates the video is failing.
The graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1600. Is this reasonably
replaceable? If so, is the "MPC ClientPro 434 All In One ATI MXM X1600
PCIe 128MB Video Card" I found on eBay (for $25, used) essentially the
same unit?
My soldering skills are, sadly, poor.
And it only dawned on me a couple days ago that because this iMac does
not have a Core 2 Duo processor, it will not be able to enter the
"Lion" generation.
Thanks,
Patrick
PS Are manuals for this model available? I have a copy of the Peachpit
Apple Training Series "Desktop and Portable Systems, Second Edition"
but it only goes up to the G5 20" iMac. There doesn't appear to be a
3rd or later edition in the series.My 5 yr old 2 GHz Intel Core Duo 20" iMac, right after I disconnected

ISE 1.2 anomalous client suppression
Is there a way to clear a client who has been flagged as an anomalous client ? We are hesitent to modify or change any of the settings without fully understanding the potential impact, but would like to know if there is a way to manually reset a client so that they may retry authentication.
Hi Ageel,
Thanks for the response. The problem we are having is not related to a user, though. With the anomalous client supression enabled for the RADIUS protocol (Admin->System->Settings->Protocols->RADIUS) set to reject users who fail subsequent authorizations, the client is in "reject" mode for the determined amount of time configured which is a default of 60 minutes.
The problem we are facing is once the client is in reject mode we are unable to find a way to clear them from reject mode. If I were to look at a client on my ISE deployment who is experiencing this I would see an attribute for IsEndPointInRejectMode set to true.
Deleting the endpoint MAC address from the ISE database does not fix the issue - so it seems to cache it somewhere. We want to find a way to clear it.
Thanks. -
Illustrator cs2 creates pdf with anomalies
I have Illustrator cs2 (12.0.1) and I create pdfs with it and send these to my clients for proofing. When I view the pdf in acrobat standard 6 it looks fine. When my sales people and clients view it in reader 8 they get a color break down that is incorrect. For example they see a color that should not be there (in the pdf below it is the blue cyan in the logo). So I need to figure out how to fix this problem. Also it does not happen on every pdf.
here is a link to a pdf
www.ebfchurch.org/usb3.pdf
In the link is a pdf that has a problem, and a jpeg to show what it should look like.
When I save the pdf I have tried turning illustrator off ill. editing capabilities and saved as a V.7 pdf. Not sure what else to try besides making the logo a jpg. Would upgrading to reader 8 help? Would this add that to my selections in illustrator?
The other anomalies are I's and some lines becoming a dotted line. This one is rarer and is easy to fix (somewhat). I simply rotate the object by a super small portion that no one would notice.
Thanks for any help.Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...

'09 MBP with some odd screen anomalies
My MBP has some odd screen anomalies. They appear as small blotches of greyness and can only be seen clearly on a white background and when the backlight is bright. When viewed from a viewing angle almost parallel with the screen, one can clearly see the overall shape. They exist in an almost perfectly round ring around the center of the display with an average diameter of about 2.5 inches. The greyness is thickest on the top half of the ring. There is a distinct spot about half an inch above center and the lower semicircle is filled with random grey dots. It looks like, of all things, the Death Star if looked at straight on, or as if someone used the screen as a cupholder.
It doesn't look like image persistence or dead pixles. The anomaly does not move around or change colors, nor does it appear to get any better or worse with time.
I have no idea where it came from or why...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

This sounds hardware related though and you should take it in to an apple specialist. sounds like a ball hit it or someone punched it and the LCD is broken. can you still see it when you turn the screen/computer off?) -
Scrolling anomalies with Safari in 10.5.6
While scrolling down on a web page, I've seen a "ripple" in the middle. I've also seen some anomalies in apps that use WebKit, such as iTunes.
Anyone else?Hmm, I just assumed that Apple hadn't updated the tech note since the release of Leopard, but if you don't have an ATI card then that's moot.
This thread has some suggestions towards the end:

Hi all:
I am pleased to announce that someone who did not know an SQL statement from a serial number just four years ago did write 100% of the code and deploy successfully a highly customized, secure major internet application to a user base of close to 1000 in an organization of 15,000 members. Hurray for ApEx!
I would like to thank all of the members of the team that built Application Express for their incredible product. My application is one of the great achievements of my life, and it was made possible by your work. As Newton said, I stand on the shoulders of giants.
I would also like to mention two anomalies I have noticed invovled with importing new versions of the application. I believe they are related.
First, I have seen numerous times large chunks of white space or line breaks in the "Region Source" of an SQL Query report region. These breaks show up anywhere, including between parts of a string like right after a ||, or in other places. When I notice them I clean them up, but they seem to be only cosmetic.
The second issue is operational. It's not often, but I just saw it again for probably the 3rd or 4th time (I wasn't sure about it till now). Somehow the query that defines the SQL Query report region becomes altered with unseen characters perhaps? The result is that a perfectly functioning SQL report region starts throwing errors like:
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01403: no data found
This was the result in the incident that just happened, and it involved a SQL report region that I had not changed at all. I had no reason to even think about it until one of the users reported the problem. Well, after combing through my code and scratching my head repeatedly, I stripped out the entire Where clause and found it worked. I added each part of the Where clause one by one, until it was all back in. Guess what? It worked fine. The exact same code now gave a different result.
Is the system somehow throwing in a stray ASCII character that you don't see in the browser?
Well, the best part of this is it is reproducible!! I have the export file that was at fault and I can re-import it and run it to show the error. Then I "recompile" the Where clause and it works.
Any thoughts?
Regards
BillScott
This problem is real, and I'm not sure what you mean by "maybe it's my editor". I don't process the export file; I just import it directly into another workspace.
I was working on an SQL Report Region today and trying to make a mod to the where clause but it was gone! I tried the app and entered text into the search field and lo and behold it worked anyway. I was totally confused until I noticed that there was a live scroll bar in the Source text area. There were about 15 line feeds and when I deleted them all my where clause showed up.
In another incident, the insertion of a line feed caused my javascript call to the FCKeditor code to fail. I had never seen the problem in that area before, only in the SQL Report Region. The problem was identified by a contractor we use and not myself.
I can't imagine why no one else has seen this unless they just fix it and move on.

Can't figure out these anomalies. Driving me nuts.
The following code for the BouncingBalls assignment results in some anomalies that I can't figure out.
The main problem is that there SEEM TO BE different responses: the balls reverse direction at the right and bottom, but not top and left. In the code I have shown two different statements: one for dx, (which seems like it should work, but doesn't) and the one for dy, (which reverses direction properly, but the d? value is not the one that I want to change, only the direction modifier needs to change.)
The dx one is the one that I think should work, but the dy variation provides reversal. Since both variables are in the same formula, I can't figure out why one works, one doesn't.
The other anomaly is that Ball4 doesn't behave as the other three. What the hell's going on.....a tribute to Jim Bouton???
Any suggestions on where to start looking for the bugs would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Do this:
When the ball bounces on the top or bottom.
dy = -dy ;
When the ball bounces on the left or right.
dx = -dx ;
Also, you might want to put some math in to force the ball to be within the box when a bounce occurs, if you haven't already. Just translate x and y over a bit.
You have way too much garbage in your move method... all those extra variables are what confused you. -
GRC EAM Authorizations: Few Anomalies in Standard Roles
Hi GRC/ Security Experts,
To brief you quickly, we have an SAP GRC AC 10 SP13 about to be deployed with ARA & EAM Modules as a first phase deployment.
All of the functionality is almost setup, just refining few things before going live.
About the GRC Authorizations, I observed few anomalies in the standard delivered SAP Roles for EAM.
I am aware that processes & compliance's, can vary from organization to organization. I am trying to redesign some of the EAM related authorizations, especially for Firefighter Owner/Controller.
In the standard delivered EAM roles, there are few things missing and few unnecessarily attached.
I am already aware of the provided information in the following resources:
- 1730649 - Firefighter owner can assign ANY Firefighter ID to Firefighter User
- 1663949 - EAM: Authorization Fixes for Central Owners and Reason Codes and have referred to EAM Authorization
- EAM Authorization Concepts & Guide
- GRC AC Latest Security Guide.
I am wondering, many of GRC AC 10 implementations must have gone live by now, and how can be the following authorization hardening concerns be addressed.
I observed the following anomalies, and used ST01 tracing to refine and address few of them still some of them I cant seem to get hold of:
1) [SOLVED] EAM Owners should technically not be allowed to Create/Maintain Reason Codes, that should be EAM Administrator's task. This was addressed by adjusting the auth objects from Owner's Role and only Reason Codes Display was provisioned to the owner's, hence this is addressed.
2) [SOLVED] EAM Owners should not be allowed to Create/Maintain EAM Controllers. This is a grey controversy I believe, as in my organization EAM Controller is treated on even Higher Scale than Owner and thus EAM Controller maintenance should only be done by the EAM admin rather than EAM Owner. This also I have addressed by adjusting few auth objects, which leaves the EAM Owners with Display only access of EAM Controllers.
3) [UNSOLVED] EAM Owner is able to assign any Firefighter ID to End-User: This is anomaly as per me, and is also specified in notes 1730649 & 1663949, but I find it hard to figure out the real solution of that specific issue. The notes just point to EAM Authorization Guide, which explain the GRC Authorization concept in general, which I of course get it. The GRC SP13 is already higher than the one applicable for the issue.
Technically EAM Owner should only be able ASSIGN the FF IDs that are Owned by him, this I cant seem to figure out how exactly.
I have gone through the Authorization Guide, Security Guide, Played too much with System Trace ST01 trying to redesign the authorizations. How would you have done it? This wasn't there in Virsa earlier, it used to bug you back saying that FF ID is not owned by you.
4) [UNSOLVED] Similarly like above, EAM Owner is able to modify assignments/delete assignments of any FF ID. This is of course cascaded from the above issue. I believe it doesn't has to be like this, EAM Owner should only be able to access/modify/maintain the FF IDs owned. Maintenance of the FF IDs not owned by EAM Owner should be truly abstained.
5) EAM Owners should not be able to Add/Delete the Assignments of Owner with FF ID. This is the starting point of the Firefighter Structure and must be restricted to EAM Administrator. In the Standard EAM Owner role, an EAM Owner can created another OWner, assign a FF ID to another Owner, Delete a Owner-FF ID assignment. EAM Owner should have display only access as far as it is concerned about the EAM Owners access Area. This one I have yet to test, which I think would be possible. Can't get hold of points 3 & 4.
I have already studied/implemented the suggestions/recommendations/corrections from Authorization Guide.
But i still feel that these are few loopholes and must be closed before I conclude the implementation.
What do you think?
Would truly appreciate, if you can point out the objects and values that can help to address the open issues.
Apologies, for such a lengthy post, but the authorization goes deep here I guess and ST01 isn't helping me anymore to get over this.
Regards,
AkshayHi Colleen,
Thanks for your reply, I was sure I will be getting first response from you, as you are really proactive in GRC Space.
W.r.t. your suggestions:
1) I am not able to follow what you mean by "Are you able to try debugging "CALL METHOD cl_grac_auth_engine=>authority_check" ?? I am not much of a ABAPper/DEBUGGer, but if you can point what exactly is to be done/or to be get done I wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty at this too.
Correct me if I am wrong, do you imply that, even though the specified correction in note is available in system (SP13), still this inbuilt authority check is not happening and is being bypassed?
2) I checked the EAM Authorization Guide for Auth Object GRAC_USER.
With what you feel in the below message of yours=>
Starting to wonder if it is as the EAM Guide attached to the above notes mentions authorisation GRAC_USER which contains a field for user (quote from guide below).
User ID : This Field Specifies which firefighter users you can Display and Perform other activities based on the Activity Field .
That suggests you need different roles to restrict owners? I would have thought SAP would differentiate between authorisation to maintain FF as and Administrator versus Owner allow access to their Ids.
I would have thought Administrator would get the GRAC* authorisations whilst Owners would obtain access via owner setup (mapping for FF Id)
I went back to the EAM Guide and tried to put it all together to make sense.
With my below observations, I think too that there is no such thing as mapping of FF ID with the Owner, out of the Box in GRC AC 10 so that Owner is able to access only the FF IDs owned.
So, if that would be true, then to achieve this sort of wish, I would have to have separate roles from each EAM Owner specifying, the FF IDs that particular EAM Owner is able to access. And then there would be n number of Roles for n number of Owners, which is subject to change and has to be maintained again. Then also, the FF ID owned could also be added/removed etc, Whoa! That wouldn't make me far away from rationalizing the whole objective.
I just wonder, if this is actually Ok? If there is no approach to this, would it be OK to let any EAM Owner work with any FF ID subject to their own desire.
Anyways, check this out below , I will sideways open a message with SAP just to have my closure.
From EAM Authorizations Guide in the note=>
Now from the EAM Owner's Role=>
This no where mentions of Restricting the FF IDs in the Role, if at all this concept exists, it would be through some internal check like the one above i.e. CALL METHOD cl_grac_auth_engine=>authority_check or something.
Also, found these few specifications as well, which affirms the same I believe.
Much thanks for your effort and patience.

Some strange display anomalies.
Hi everyone
I have quite a few issues with the display. One is a few dark spots of pixels, I tried to clean the display and they are not gone. The other one is an area of bright pixels at the bottom, only noticeable when that area is bright enough. And also sometimes vertical stripes appear on screen, or sometimes random coloured pixel patterns on screen, upon wake up. These 2 anomalies do not appear to be so frequent that I could reproduce it at any time, but frequent enough to annoy me sometimes. Here are the pics for those -

Windows Update 956391 causes texture anomalies upon U3D creation
This message is to make others aware of a texture problem that occurs when U3D files are created in the toolkit (and subsequently imported into Acrobat 3D) due to an automatic update of Windows Active X Renderer(956391).
I am working on a project that involves the batch conversion of OBJ files (with texture) to U3D files using the Adobe 3D Toolkit. We then use the U3D's to make distributeable PDF files. After a typical automatic Windows Update, the U3D files showed texture anomalies when imported to the Acrobat 3D. Uninstalling the Windows update solved the problem (and upon contacting Microsoft - they agreed with the uninstall). Note that this is only upon creation of the U3D files (PDFS) and is reflected in the quality of the final PDF.
Hope this might help others out there!Great post. Thanks, Angelia

Buonasera, si verificano alcune anomalie usando Ps CC: 1) Uso Photoshop CC in ambiente Mac OS 10.8.5 e aprendo una foto in Camera Raw da Bridge con doppio click con la penna Wacom Intuos 4 e finite le modifiche del caso, quando clicco su 'Chiudi', Camera Raw si chiude ma si riapre nuovamente invece di rimanere chiusa come dovrebbe. 2) Sempre da Bridge Camera Raw che faccia modifiche o meno quando clicco con la penna su 'Apri Immagine' per passare a PS CC mi passa sì a PS ma rimane aperta sempre Camera Raw in Bridge con relativa iconcina 'Br' saltellante... Come si risolvono queste anomalie? Grazie.
