ATV restarts when switching on TV

I have annoying problem that my appleTV often restarts when I turn the TV on. I'm using HDMI cable and the TV is Sony KDL 40V3000. appleTV was recently upgraded to "take Two".
It is a bit annoying since I have to wait for appleTV to come back to life. Sometimes it's a warm restart (without flying screens and audio) and rarely it's cold restart (with welcome screen and audio).
Has anyone a clue what's going on?

I do not know for sure but it probably is neither; Apple nor the Consortium, but the fact that your TV is sending a signal to your Mac when you turn it on and it detects a video source connected to its HDMI port. It is alerting your Mac to its video abilities. It is probably providing that same information to anything else attached but they are probably not in sleep mode, but turned off.

Why does xorg restart when switching users/logging out? Using GDM.

Not a reall issue, but its kind of annoying of seeing that black screen anytime someone logs out or switches user. Is this really needed?
Is there any solution to prevent xorg from restarting?
I use GDM, with the inittab method.

Hi Linc thank you for getting back to me.
I don't see anything labeled as crash reports under system diagnostics. I do not use the console very often because I only do basic things on my iMac so my familiarity with it is not as good.
I know you said you wanted text but I can't past this text here so it is another screen shot. If you see something you want more information on, I can post the text of that specific line.
Keep in mind, since last night when I originally posted, the administrator account has been logged off, while my other account remained logged on and good to go.

How do I stop Firefox mobile from having to restart when switching between apps?

When I'm switching between apps, firefox takes 10 seconds to load up again. Why isn't it already loaded since I just had it up? The Opera browser doesn't do that.

Android automatically closes apps in the background when it needs more memory. To let Firefox run in the background longer, we will need to reduce its memory usage. We are continuing to work on this with each new version of Firefox.

I'm suddenly getting the kernel panic message and constant restarts when connected to the time machine wireless network. if is switch to the BT network, all fine. no help found so far as to what's wrong or how to correct, anyone have any thoughts...

Recently upgraded to mountain lion in order to buy the new tall tower for time machine backups. had to get technical support to help with set up as it wouldn't play ball with two computers. all working fine up until last week when the iMac started getting backup error messages. then system restarts independently when using time machine on the time machine wireless network. only stops restarting when I switch the wireless network back to he bt one, which is a pain obviously as can't back up to time machine then. it has to be a problem with airport utility or something wireless but all says all up to date with software etc. all still works fine backing up from laptop on the wireless network, just the iMac is not happy. any help or thoughts very much appreciated.

Hi, many thanks Bob, what you say is not unthinkable at all, although it does answer the question
"what could I do *instead* of ..." rather than the one I actually asked, but seriously ...
Shutting down might be an answer, although it would clear out my tmp directory - which I might not want to have to sort through looking for things I want to save every time I go to work, and also, now that nvram doesn't seem to work for disabling the boot chime, it can get a bit embarassing booting up in a busy meeting if I have forgotten to mute before I shut down. There are all sorts of other issues, such as editing documents, loading web pages and so on that I would have to set up again.
Your suggestion of letting Apple know is a good one - thank you for the link.
Take care,
Mark

ATV Update causing TV to switch to HDMI input when switched on

I have a Panasonic TX32LXD70 with my ATV connected using HDMI, the TV is set to go to the DVB-T tuner when switched on.
Before the "Take 2" update this worked fine but since upgrading when you turn the TV on it switches to ATV after about 10 seconds even if the ATV is in standby.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and managed to disable it ?
Thanks, Rob

sounds more like a tv issue as hdmi does not native support changing the input sources of tvs

Music pauses on my iPhone 5C when switching between apps or when receiving alerts/notifications sometimes (not always) and I have to manually restart the song. I'm running the latest 7.0.1 software. It's a bit annoying.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Dreamweaver 6.1 - JavaScript error when switching between open tabs

When switching between open tabs a sequence of javascript
errors occurs. I had not used Dreamweaver for about 2 weeks, and
last time I used it with no problems.
I have tried uninstalling it, OKing removal of all files when
asked, re-installing it and updating with dwmx61_updater.exe, but I
still get the same errors.
This has rendered the software virtually unuseable, so any
help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm working to a
rapidly-approaching deadline.
"While executing Browse_Back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Forward enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
The relevant code seems to be :

<toolbar id="Browser_Toolbar" platform="win"
label="Browser Navigation" container="document"
initiallyVisible="false">
<button id="Browse_Back"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/back.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/back_dis.gif"
tooltip="Back"
label="Back"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('back')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.backPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Forward"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/forward.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/forward_dis.gif"
tooltip="Forward"
label="Forward"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('forward')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.forwardPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Stop"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/stop.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/stop_dis.gif"
tooltip="Stop"
label="Stop"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.getPageBusy()"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.stopPage()"
update="onBrowserPageBusyChange"/>
<button id="Browse_Refresh"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/browserRefresh.gif"
tooltip="Refresh"
label="Refresh"
enabled="true"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.refreshPage()"/>
presumably the next error is caused by the previous ones
failing :
"While executing getCurrentValue in AddressURL.htm, a
JavaScript error occurred"
the relevan tcode :
function getCurrentValue()
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var value = dom.browser.getURL();
if (value && value.length)
//check if is it not a temp file
//extract the tail of the url
var filename = value;
var slashIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
filename = filename.substring(slashIndex+1);
var tempIndex = filename.indexOf("TMP");
if (tempIndex != 0)
addRecentAddress(value);
return value;

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card? You may be viewing document on different gpu's. PS does not like multiple gpu's.

Images maximize (full screen) when switching windows?

When working with two or more images in Fireworks CS3 (Mac OSX 10.5.7)....
The image windows blast into full screen display when switching between images. I am new to CS3, (convert from Studio 8) but cannot find where to stop this irritating behaviour. I can correct by selecting Window>>Cascade - temporarily... But, when I click on another image window, that image blasts into full-screen again.
How can I stop this?
I really hate posting (usually preferring instead to lurk and scour the answers to my questions from previous posts). But, I am forced to post this question in hopes of a quick, simple solution to stop the lurching madness that makes me feel queasy every time my screen blasts an image into full screen mode..
Any help is appreciated... really, it is. :-)

OK, this is possibly a bug.
After restarting today, the problem did not occur until about an hour working with FW.
A restart did NOT stop it. So, I restarted again and tried three different files... It was fine for a while and then started the same thing again.
I am starting to lose hope that it is something I can do to prevent this. It appears that FW and Carbon are not playing together nicely.

Why does the screen background picture get reset to default when switching user

iMac with OS X 10.6.8
I have several user accounts on this iMac, each with a different wallpaper chosen from a common folder (library/desktop/nature) in the top level of the hard drive. (Which exists – can always reset background picture from this folder)
When I switch from one user account to another, the wallpaper picture, set on the previous login, appears for a moment and then is immediately replaced by the default blue.
This happens when switching from any user to another. I tried restarting the system but the problem is still there.
This problem just suddenly started and there have been no upgrades or changes to OS X.
Ideas appreciated!!

I've found the answer.
Today, the problem suddenly appeared on my other Mac, which made me look at recent apps..
I installed Team Viewer a month ago, (which is a great app apart from this) so quit it and removed it from the dock. Problem solved!!
The odd thing is that the problem appeared only after I had been using Team Viewer for some weeks.

Popup printing message when switching users

I'm giving my old Air to my brother, so I set up a new account for him. When I log in to the new account, I get the following message:
Failed to listen for incoming Popup Jobs. You will not be able to use Popup printing for the duration of this session. Please report this incident to a system administrator
It appears in a small window. Every few seconds, an identical window will come up; by a minute, the screen is filled with them!
A bit of Googling indicated I should remove Pharos software. I tried that--I looked in the appropriate library folder--and nothing was there. Also, this problem didn't exist on my old account. (Pharos doesn't show up in my login items either.)
Weirder still, if I restart the computer and choose my brother's account at the login screen, it opens error-free. But then, if I switch back to MY account without restarting, I get the same pop-ups!
It's a pain to have to restart to switch users. Someone please help!

Ok, so it turned out it was Pharos. At first, when I did what the post below said, I could not find the uninstaller. It turns out it's a hidden file. Tech support told me to open Finder, press cmd+shift+g, type /Library/Application Support/Pharos/Utilities and press enter.
This way, I did find the uninstaller. I ran it, uninstalling both components, and afterwards everything is fine.

Tabs and pages not drawn when switching tabs.

When switching between tabs or opening new tabs, the tab and the page are not drawn. But if I scroll down the page is drawn.
This doesn't happen always. It happens randomly.

AE 2014.2 crash when switching preview panel with Matrox

I newly bought a pc with Matrox M9138 card, and using it for professional use. All works fine, except for Adobe After Effects CC 2014.2: it simply crashes when switching between the Preview-panel and Render-Cue panel.
When I look in AE preferences under Video-preview > Mercury transmit doesn't even show that there is a Matrox-card. The only option there is Adobe DV. So, I guess AE doesn't find and even makes use of my Matrox card.
Technical info:
Windows Version: 8.1
Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 CPU, 3.6 GHz
RAM: 16GB
Type: 64bits
Matrox M9138 LP PCIex16
Driver version 2.4.3.2 (4.4.3.2) for Win 8-64bit
Adobe CC After effects 2014.2
After Efects error: "Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <816><ae.blitpipe><2> Making New Context"
First I installed the Matrox driver, and then Adobe CC, but After effects crashed when switching between preview-panel and render-cue-panel (No Matrox recognition in AE preferences > Mercury transmit)
Now I did it in other order:
- I removed Adobe CC (AE included) and all parts
- Did extra checkup removal with Adobe CC cleaner
- Removed the Matrox driver
- Restarted PC
- Reinstalled Adobe CC with AE
- Reinstalled Matrox Driver
- Restarted PC
- matrox fully installed and working perfectly (no errors in Display Adapters info).
But still, After effects crashed (Still no Matrox recognition in AE preferences > Mercury transmit)
I contacted Matrox technical support, and as I suspected, they say they haven't had this problem before and all works fine.
Typical...
Does someone has an idea what the problem would be?
Help or info would be very appreciated.

Solution:
My graphics card did not supported the "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL)". You can change it into "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" in your Project Settings.
But this is in the wrong place in my opinion. Why not in "Edit/Preferences"? I could've changed it by myself but I did not find the menu.
Thanks Michaela from the Adobe Support Chat!

Macbook wakes from sleep, restarts when shut down, tried everything. "wake reason = "

My macbook (2008 unibody, 2.4ghz, os x 10.6.8) will not stay asleep, and it restarts when I shut it down. For example, I'll close the lid, it will sleep, then wake a few seconds later, and eventually go back to sleep. After a few cycles of this, the CPU reaches over 80 celcius, but nothing indicative of heavy cpu usage in the activity monitor except for "kernel task." I guess this is because the fans have to keep shutting off when lid is closed. Of the things I've tried, the following have not worked:
*fiddling with all possible energy saver preferences
*disk utility repairs, even with the snow leopard install disc
*resetting pram and smc
*loading into windows 7 partition, same thing happens
*loading into my external HD, same thing happens
*deleted everything in the LaunchDaemons folder
*turned off bluetooth entirely
*turned off airport
*turned off "Set date and time automatically"
*nothing plugged into USB
*tried with/without magsafe plug, with/without battery, same problems occur
*no errors returned with applecare's Techtool Deluxe
*ran every maintenance script I could: crons, clear cache, rebuilds, updates
*ran the hardware test from one of the install disks, no problems detected
*turned off login items
I've studied the messages in Console.app like my life depended on it and the only thing that's bugging me is that I get "kernel---------Wake Reason = ". It doesn't give me a wake reason, it's just empty. I can't find anything around the net that could tell me why this occurs. I put "syslog |grep -i "Wake reason ="" into the terminal.app and apparently this has been happening for a week now, hundreds of instances of no wake reasons.
Could this be a hardware error?

Mine does the same thing. I noticed that he little green/yellow light on the magnetic power adapter would go out every once in a while as well. If I would keep the system closed and unplug then replug it, then it would unsleep/sleep whenever it was connected. I switched power adapters with my other MBP and it behaves normally now. ymmv
