Automatic rotation in some applications (SMS, Mail, Safari...)

Hi,
I got a friend who has a second hand iPhone3G with IOS4.1, and when she enters Message, Mail or Safari, the iPhone turn 90° automatically and displays in landscape mode. I couldn't find anything to keep it in Portrait mode ?!?
Is it a software issue or a hardware one ?
(the phone itself has a problem: the phone speaker doesn't work, the only way to communicate in phone mode is the headset or the speaker mode).
Thanx

I had a similar problem (Mail, Safari, Installer, widgets, Interarchy crashing on startup). I read about the Security Update 2007-006 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305759) which I had installed just before I started having problems. Based on that info, I replaced the WebKit and WebCore (~/System/
Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework) folders from a backup I made before the Security Update and the problem was solved. From looking at the newer version (the one that didn't work) I'm guessing the installation didn't complete as there were only many fewer items in the new folder than the old one.
I had a similar problem once before (maybe sometime around 10.4.5 update) and it was fixed by running the installer package again, but since installer was crashing too, that wasn't an option this time.
Is this a totally harebrained theory, or is it possible to have an incomplete install of an update without getting any error messages?

Processing speed of my MacBook is extremely slow when opening applications, whether Mail, Safari or MSOffice

Problem description:
The processing speed of any function is extremely slow - such as opening Mail, Safari, clicking on a page within Safari, switching to MS Word, adding a window in Safari, loading a page from Safari. I get the spinning wheel most of the time before the action is completed. All other Macs which are newer in my home WiFi network operate just fine. I have done a top level (novice) check for malware, and haven’t found anything. Any help you can suggest would be truly appreciated! Thank you!

Before you do anything do you have a current backup? If not make one.
I don't see any of the usual software suspects associated with slow downs. You don't need the Seagate software, you should uninstall that.

How to disable automatic launch of some applications at startup?

Hi everybody,
Microsoft office auto update daemon is launched automatically at startup. I don't want it to run automatically. How can I disable it?
Thanks...

it's probably in your startup items. look in your account in system prefs, under startup items. disable it.

The color profile switch automatically when opening some applications.

Im using the 2012 high-end 15" mac book pro, when I open an apllication such as iPhoto, the color profile switch to "Display" from "Color LCD".
When I quit the iPhoto it switch back to "Color LCD"
How to solve it?

Why does my monitor change colors when the graphics adapter changes?

Why do my applications hang (Mail, Disk Utility, Installer, Safari)

After the latest software update. Mail, Safari, Disk Utility, Installer, Activity monitor and some more applications do nothing more than jumping in the Dock and then hang-up with the spinning wheel always spinning... I think it was after the 2006-003 security update, or maybe the ITunes update....I'just don't know anymore...
I have tried to downgrade to the 10.3.7 combo update but the installer App behaves just the same... If it wasn't for Fire fox I wouln't be writing here.
During my search on these forums I have found a thread that stated that the latest ITunes update was responsible, I downgraded it to 6.0.1, and it worked until I restarted my mac... Then it didn't work anymore, all my Apple apps are not opening.
I really need some help with this...
The wierd thing is that all other (non-Apple) programs run just fine, like the whole Adobe CS and Macromedia Packages.
If anyone has a solution, please be so kind to let me know.
Thanks all

Try this and see if it works for you.

kmosx: Apps unexpectedly quit
Posted: Dec 19, 2004 8:11 AM
Here are some possible reasons for this problem.
1. Recent Update: Download and reapply the most recent Combo Update: Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9 or Mac OS X Update 10.4.2 Combo
2. Font duplicates: Please read the articles by Kurt Lang and J.Otava here: Kurt Lang: Font Management in OS X Panther and J.Otava: Fonts & Apple Type Services
3. Corrupted preferences:
Go to Users/Your_Name/Library/Preferences and trash the files:
- com.apple.ATS.plist
- com.apple.BezelServices.plist
Restart. If this did not help, go to Users/Your_Name/Library and drag the folder Preferences to the desktop. Restart and see if this solved the problem
4. Permissions:
Symptoms:
a. Only Apple applications affected
b. Also happens when you switch to a new user.
c. First appeared after update to 10.3.4, 10.3.5 or 10.3.6
This usually happens if you do not repair permissions before you update to 10.3.4 or later. There are (unconfirmed) hints that corrupted cache files might also contribute to this problem. You can clean caches with programs like Cocktail or Panther Cache Cleaner. The only solution I am aware of is to do an Archive&Install.
You also might want to read this article: Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X
Remember: Repair permissions before and after an update!
If none of the above solves the problem you might have to do an Archive&Install:
1. Insert the Install CD 1 and reboot while holding down the c-key
2. Once you are booted go to the menu and select disk utility
3. Repair the disk and Repair permissions!
4. Quit disk utility and proceed with the installation
5. Under "options" select "Archive&Install" and check the box "keep user and network data".
6. Install Panther
7. Restart
8. Go to the folder Application/Utilities and run disk utility to repair permissions again.
9. Download (or open if you downloaded before) Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9 or Mac OS X Update 10.4.2 Combo and install it.
10. Restart and repair permisssions
11. Go to the Apple menu and select "Software Update"
12. Install all missing updates and restart.
13. Repair permissions

Mail, Safari and other Applications Quit Unexpectedly

Hello,
First it was Safari that would quit ever now and then. Then all of a sudden Mail and my Hammerfall DSP mixer app is quitting. I am on Tiger and I don't know why this is happening. Maybe it was one of the Mac Osx updates?
I did a search here and I tried emptying out the cach. I also dumped some of those unnecessary fonts. Problem is still here.
Is there anything else that could be causing this problem?
Right now it is 3 apps that "Quit Unexpectedly". Mail, Safari and Hammerfall DSP Mixer ( for my sound card to run ).
Help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Johnny

Check Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to
launch for troubleshooting steps.
Many of those things like fonts don't really apply to me since I swapped out the hard drive and reinstalled Tiger.
I did do the Apple Hardware Test and it found bad Ram in slot 2. I proceeded to take out the Ram in slot 2. The problem is still alive and kicking.
One new thing I noticed is when in Safari it will crash as I start to type in the Google search window. It doesn't crash if I type in the top address bar. Only when I type inside the window. It's a weird thing. I kept re-launching and as soon as I would type 1 letter into the search window of Google it would crash.
Mail won't even open for peek. Same with all the other apps.
I spoke with a Apple Tech and he said it might be the Logic board!
Thanks,
Johnnny

I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Ok, that's plenty of space.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Automatic SMS/Mail notification for local auto-reaction method

Hello!
We would like to be informed via SMS/Mail about the Availability of satellite system.
When we assign a Local auto-reaction method for this MTE (Availability_SysPercent_ABAP) we receive the SMS/Mail notification only in case we manually start the auto reaction method from RZ20.
When we try to assign the central auto reaction method from RZ20 we get the following error:
Assignment for local system only works with nodes from agent segments
What is the procedure for the automatic SMS/Mail notification in case of local auto-reaction method?
Thank you very much!

Dear Team,
As I have understood, you want to be informed each time a satellite system is not up and running ?
Option 01
========
1. Install the CCSMPING agent in SOLMAN
2. Create your satellites systems through RZ21 - Technical Infrastructure - Availability Monitoring - Configure CCMSPING ...
    Create all satelittes systems ...
3. Then, from SOLMAN_WORCENTER, in SYSTEM Monitoring, you have the status of each satellites systems created
    in RZ21 (point 2).
This option will not advised when a satellite system is down. But from one WEB page, you will have the status of all satellites systems.
Option 02
========
1.Install the CCSMPING agent in SOLMAN
2. Create your satellites systems through RZ21 - Technical Infrastructure - Availability Monitoring - Configure CCMSPING ...
    Create all satellites systems.
3. RZ20 - SAP CCMS Monitor Templates - Double-click on "Availability and Performance Overview"
    Open "Availability" - Then, all satellites systems which have been added under point 2 will appear.
4. Select one satelitte system
5. Open "Availability"
6. Select "ABAP: Checked by CCMSPING.<solman-hostname>.00"
7. When selected, click on "Properties" button.
8. Then, you assign here an auto-reaction method - for example :
    "ccms_send_alert_to_alm_ccms_containerv4".
9. Copy this method to Zccms_send_alert_to_alm_ccms_containerv4.
10. In this method, add you email address.
11. Then, check that job "SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP is running. This job collects data in the CCCMS (RZ20).
12. Then, the alert will be automatically sends to your email adress.
Hope it helps ?
Best regards

MacBook Pro (version 10.7.5) got some features such as toolbar, mail, safari and other only in English

After installing the MacKeeper (now uninstalled) in my MacBook Pro (version 10.7.5) got some features such as toolbar, mail, safari and other in English (use in Portuguese - Brazil).
I've already set the System and Preferences> Language & Text, for use in Portuguese, but still does not work.
Someone know what should I do?

Very strange problem (no surprise to you).
I suggest you reset the SMC (and PRAM, if you are able). That cannot hurt and might help.

I accidentally deleted the applications: Mail, Safari

I accidentally deleted the applications: Mail, Safari & iTunes from the launchpad. I also emptied the trash by accident.
Is there a way to reinstall these applications without reinstalling the Mac OS X?
Will upgrading to Mountain Lion resolive my problem?
What is the best solution?
Thank You,
Mrs_Yu

If Spotlight is unable to locate your apps, use the install disc that came with your computer to custom install. On screen directions will guide you. Once this is done, use Software Update to update Safari, iTunes and Mail if necessary.

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.
