Black Frame appearing around buttons and folder icons

Hi there:
A strange thing has started to happen on my Mac. I am running 10.4.9 on a 20inch Intel Chip iMac. When I select a folder etc it becomes framed by a black box. See photos below. For the second jpeg please look in the upper left corner for the black framing box.
Please advise

Black lines appearing around windows and on screen in Pro 9.3.1

I have just installed the update for Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 and now am getting random black keylines around any windows open on my Mac. It does not matter which application, they are appearing on everything. They also show up on the screen when randomly when clicking around the windows.
I have a Mac Pro 3,1 running OS X 10.5.8. Has anyone any ideas as they are very annoying?! Thanks

Today, 3/31/2008, we received a "patch" from Oracle/Hyperion support that consisted of 3 SQL scripts to apply to the BI+ repository. After applying the folder permissions are now able to be set along with the objects in the folders. We found we lost provisioning for MSAD groups to the reporting ans analysis applications (workspace), but not sure if this happened because of not shutting down all the services including Shared Services. Since this was a dev environment, not a problem, but in our production environment we will ensure a complete listing of the provisioning before applying. Awaiting word from support about the provisioning issue.
There is an open bug report from a different client and apparently this is fixed in 9.5.

Exclamation point and folder icon appears on iPod screen

I have a 20g Ipod and I am having lots of problems. Whenver I press a button it shows the apple logo followed by an exclamation point and folder icon. It ends with sounds of a clicking or HD whirring. Also, when I plug it into the computer, itunes prompts me with a message saying "Itunes has detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used with Itunes". When I chose the option to restore it, it begins, but does not finish restoring it. It then gives me a message: "The Ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unkown error occured (1418)". I also tried to restore by doing the following, but this failed as well:
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thank You

Black border around buttons and boxes

My browser displays a thick black rectangle around buttons and dropboxes. It affects webkit browsers, luakit and surf. This is a stripped down atom desktop. There is gtk 2 2.24, libwebkit 1.8.3, standard xorg, xf86-video-intel 2.20.5 (i915), and cairo, all from the arch repo, and linux-ck-atom 3.5.3 from AUR. I have cairo but no mesa and no compiz. Adding mesa doesn't fix it. But it's possible I removed some important graphic library. Any suggestions how I might fix it?

Thanks for the suggestions. The accelerators don't make a difference, neither does today's new intel driver. I've had the same version of cairo since June (1.12.2-1 -> 1.12.2-2) and this problem is recent. As a last resort I'll try to find an old cairo package. But maybe I should look into libwebkit or gtk first.

How to handle the "cancel" button and "close" icon of a popup ?

Hi,
I have a popup with "cancel button" and "close icon"(on the top right corner of the popup), I want the same operations to be performed on clicking of any of these two components.
Is there a way to handle such situation ?
I read about 2 cases to look into this but they didn't work too well for me.
1. I read about the "popcancellistener" but that listener is called whenever the popup closes, so suppose I have an "ok button" on the popup to create a record, after the record is created, the popup closes and goes into the "popcancellistener", now the question is "how do we know if it came there because of the 'ok button' or 'some other event'".
2. I even checked the "DialogListener", now I'm able to distinguish between the 'OK' and 'CANCEL' button in the dialoglistener using the "Dialog.Outcome.ok/cancel", but when a user clicks on the close icon, we do not enter the "DialogListener" at all, so in this case "how do we handle the close icon click event"
Do let me know if you need any more information from my side.
Thanks for the help in advance.

The following mechanism responds to any of the following events: <Esc> key, Close icon ('x'), Cancel button
JavaScript part:
function popupClosedListener(event){
              var source = event.getSource();
              var popupId = source.getClientId();
              var params = {};
              params['popupId'] = popupId;
              var type = "serverPopupClosed";
              var immediate = true;
              AdfCustomEvent.queue(source, type, params, immediate);
}JSF part:
         <af:popup ....>
              <af:clientListener method="popupClosedListener"
                                       type="popupClosed"/>
              <af:serverListener type="serverPopupClosed"
                                      method="#{myBean.serverPopupClosedMetod}"/>
        </af:popup>Finally, Java part:
public void serverPopupClosedMetod(ClientEvent event){
}

It's not an Apple issue and Apple has nothing to do with it.
The only way to buy an iPhone officially refurbished by Apple is to buy it from an Apple store or via Apple's website.
Refurbished iPhones sold via other retailers are not refurbished by Apple.
Sounds like Wireless Wave did all they could... they refunded your money.
Your only issue is with them. Stop getting all worked up over it.

I tried to update my ipad 2 to os7 and all i get is a black screen with iTunes logo and charger icon. I tried the power button and home button together. Help!

I updated by iPad 2 to os 7 when the screen went black. I hit the power and home buttons and got an outline of a charger cord to a blue circle with iTunes under it.

2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.

Start Button and Search Icon

I accidentally installed 'mystartsearch' and could not remove it, so I restored Windows to the previous day.   This fixed the problem but it has disabled the Start Button and the Search Icon.
I did also run a adware cleanup from http://www.techsupportall.com/how-to-remove-mystartsearch-com-homepage-removal-help/
and this removed a few things but nothing obviously to do with the Start button - I have the log file if necessary.
I can right click the Start Button and that works, but left does nothing.   The Search just does nothing, but I can turn it off again.
How do I re-enable the Start Button?
In fact further testing and none of the apps seem to work.   The calculator just tries to open and disappears again, as does the Feedback app, and the Calendar app.
Can I repair this or will I have to wait for the next release of Win10?

It is possible that you are missing a couple of Windows Updates since you performed a system restore to a previous date.
And, since you cannot use the Start button in order to go to Settings > Update and Recovery, please use this method posted by Inside Hub.................
Start menu
When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart.

IPod Mini and Folder Icon with ! on Startup

I upgraded to ITunes 7.0, and like a lot of people, had problems getting my Mini out of recovery mode. So I deleted 7.0, reinstalled 6.0.5, restored my Mini and transferred my library, and everything seemed to be working until I disconnected my Mini. My Mini booted up then froze up on that darned Folder icon with the "www.apple.com/ipod/support" url underneath it. Windows XP is only recognizing my Mini as a USB Mass Storage Device. ITunes recognizes it and can even play mp3s off of it. I tried restoring my Mini again and resynced it only to have it come out with the same problem.
Any ideas on what's going on? How should I fix this?
Thanks!!

Connect your iPod and wait for it to appear in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the source pane
Under the "summary" tab, select the option to "enable disk use"
Click Apply (lower right-hand corner)
Exit iTunes (don't eject the iPod first)
Click on Start, right click on MyComputer, and click Manage
Click on Disk Management in the left-hand side
Wait for it to finish connecting (it might take a few minutes)
You'll see your iPod listed under your main hard drive. If it's a 4GB iPod Mini, it will show a capacity of about 3.72GB
Make SURE you've found the iPod
Right click on it and click format
Set the options as follows:
*Volume Label = iPod
*File System = FAT32
*Allocation unit size = default
Leave "quickformat" unchecked, and click OK to start the format.
This may take a little while to complete
If it doesn't complete successfully, try it a second time.
If it does complete successfully (first or second attempt) go back to iTunes and restore it again.
Also, make sure you're not unplugging the iPod while it has "do not disconnect" on the screen.

The dreaded ? and folder icon

I recently won quite a few macs from an auction from public school district, emacs and imacs from 2001-2004 range. For security of course all the drives were cleared. I am quite experienced on pc's as I am a technician at our local cable company, but when it comes to macs I know just enough to mess things up. But we troubleshoot both, so I would like to learn more about them. I plan to set these up at my church as a computer lab, but not sure where to start. I have 2 sets of boot up discs that are labeled imacs, but neither the imacs or emacs will boot when holding c down at boot. These were in a seperate box though so not sure they even go to the computers I got.
What I have read about and done so far:
Followed instructions online about finding the hd (that was fun)to make sure there was no physical damage, the district didn't touch it physically, on 2 mac laptops tha came w/ they just took a drill and drilled through the hd. So no physical damage to hd.
Next, I did the pram reset and got the ding it says, but no change on next boot
Next, I found an article on the open firmware and got into it, and I was like cool(finally a break) something that looks like dos, I can work with this. And I found some artice telling me to change the boot device to X but that didn't work either. And looks like a whole nest of hornets when I started reading about all the stuff that can be done in OF. I found a walkthrough of setting up the partitions.
I thought about calling apple to try to obtain a boot disk for the emacs, and I am sure one the imac or imac dv boot discs will work on the imacs. But how do I get these hard drives prepared to take the boot disk (I understand that is proably what is missing from ibm format and partitioning I can do in my sleep).
I didn't have any info on the macs before, but I noticed the OF had some info on the machines, so I will post that to the thread later
Questions:
1. What would a typical school employee do to clear a mac hd quickly, he had a lot to deal with so I am sure didn't put much time into it, I mean he drilled through the laptops, and some ibm's he just took the hd out? (can he ruin a hd permanently without cracking the case)
2. If the hd's are useable, what do I need to do get it prepped to acccept a boot disk?
3. If unable to get boot disk for emac, can I used what I found on bit torrent to boot, if it is copied from a pc, or should I get an imac working first then try to firewire to an emac (possible?)?
4. In the status these macs are in, after I get one working can I firewire to others(there is like 30 of them)to get them working or do I need to work on each one?
I know this will take a while, and prepared to keep looking till I can find an answer, not expecting a quick fix. If you can answer any one of the questions or offer assistance I would greatly appreciate it.
p.s. A lot of questions I know but if anyone can take me under their wing and help me get these working for the church, I would be more than happy to send you one at no charge

1. What would a typical school employee do to clear a mac hd quickly, he had a lot to deal with so I am sure didn't put much time into it, I mean he drilled through the laptops, and some ibm's he just took the hd out? (can he ruin a hd permanently without cracking the case)
Typically wipe the hard drive using the Zero Data option. This would remove all information on the drive from any kind of access or recovery. But it takes a bit of time to complete the process - up to several hours depending upon how large the hard drive is.
2. If the hd's are useable, what do I need to do get it prepped to acccept a boot disk?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation.
3. If unable to get boot disk for emac, can I used what I found on bit torrent to boot, if it is copied from a pc, or should I get an imac working first then try to firewire to an emac (possible?)?
It is illegal to install a copy of OS X that has been obtained from any other source than the original discs that came with the computer (gray labeled OEM discs) or purchased from Apple or from a vendor who owns and is selling his/her licensed software. Discs posted on torrent boards are pirated and illegally obtained and illegally distributed.
4. In the status these macs are in, after I get one working can I firewire to others(there is like 30 of them)to get them working or do I need to work on each one?
Not unless you own a license for each copy of OS X you install. For 30 machines you would need to purchase a site license from Apple.

BIG whammy of a problem, code 1418 and folder icon with exclamation mark!!

I think my ipod's gone to ****. A while ago while walking home listening to my ipod, it just stopped. Looked at it and saw the folder+ !. I searched the net and saw that it probably just needed to be restored. So i tried to restore it, it froze. Updated to newest iTunes, but it wouldn't work on my comp. Anyways, I've formatted my comp, so i'm starting new here. My iPod still has that icon, so i connected it to my comp, and got it to start restoring, only part way through it to get the 1418 error code. It's an old 20gig 3rd gen, but it always worked fine. And actually now as I'm typing this, I can't get the bugger to connect to my comp anymore. It just keeps showing the folder icon. I have no idea what to do with this anymore. I've read tons of post in regards to 1418 but they're all in relation to nanos, video ipods, and shuffles. Any help would be amazingly appreciated because I can't afford a new iPod. Thanks!

Let's get some information for the Apple Engineers. Please copy and paste these questions into an email, make the subject of the email "iPod error report", add your answers, and send the email to Roy at Apple.
1. What error code are you seeing?
2. When are you seeing it (restoring or updating your iPod)?
3. Which iPod do you have?
4. What version of Windows do you have?
5. What Windows service pack do you have installed?
