Can't place Character Viewer window on Dock anymore since last system update

I always placed the open Character Viewer window on the Dock, when I knew I was going to use it alot that day. No longer able to do that; that option changed with one of the system updates. Can I get that option back?

The only way to get an option back that a system Upgrade changed
would be to revert to the system where the feature existed; unless
the problem was something else in the system causing the failure.
That is why when Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.7 was shown, I asked.
Because I know there were significant changes after Lion 10.7.5.
Some users of an older system will make a full system clone on a
bootable external hard disk drive, when they may need to use an
older system and want features or applications later that would no
longer be supported by an Upgrade. (Updates aren't as significant.)
This is why I bothered to ask. A non-specific update to SL 10.6 would
not necessarily cause the item to disappear. An upgrade past it would.
Just like support for PPC coded applications disappears w/o Rosetta.
Good luck & happy computing!

the benefit of this https scan feature is at least questionable. in order for it to work, avast has to perform a kind of man-in-the-middle "attack" in order to get to the content of the encrypted connection (firefox supports a feature called [http://monica-at-mozilla.blogspot.co.at/2014/08/firefox-32-supports-public-key-pinning.html key pinning] which can be used by websites to address such MITM attacks and which also seems to pick up AVAST's interference).
when you download files over a https-connection, they will be scanned by your AV software once they land on your hard-disk anyway. on the other hand it should be the job of the browser to make it impossible to get infected by malicious software by just surfing around...
''edit: please try to restart the browser again, it may take a new session for the change to take effect.''

In Mail, I can not open a viewer window

I just had my hard drive replaced on my 27 inch imac. It came back with a new operating system (OSX10.7.5) Along with that it had several software updates. One of which was Mail. It is now at version 5.3. When I went to open it, it asked to transfer over all the old to the new. So it did but once that was over it never opened a viewer window. I then went to FILE to "Open viewer window". That didn't work either. I right clicked on the Mail icon in my dock and it said it wasn't responding so I had to force quit. Same results happen everytime I open MAIL. Please help.

With Mail open press Command + Option + Esc to force quit the Mail app.
Then restart your Mac and try Mail.

Can't save bookmarks since last OS update

I can't save bookmarks since the last OS update. When I do, I get the Spinning Beach Ball of Death and the app crashes. Any ideas?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Can no longer download pdf file since last safari update

Since the last OS update (I am running Safari 6.1; OX 10.8.5) pdf files via Safari fail to open. Yet they do open in Firefox, which is 'not' my default browser. Anyone else having issues?

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin (or anything Adobe related) in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

Folder view gone since last fw update

I am using my mediahub with a PS3 as well as with a NOXON2 as streaming devices. Ever since the last firmware update, the FOLDER view option is gone. This is awful, my entire collection is sorted by CDs, every CD is a folder, so I play CDs by folders and I have no reason to get used to anything else. What is wrong here??? Why was it removed and will it be added again to the next fw release?? Thanks.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the reply, but that is not what I need.
In my Noxon (and also on my PS3), I have the options to go thru the music collection by
- Album
- Artist
- Composer
- Genre
- Playlists
- Title
But there used to be an option named "Folder", too, and that is gone. That's what I want back!
I have no Twonky or anything else installed on my MediaHub, I only have on it what it came with (the program I installed via the CD ROM I guess), and apart from that have only the folders in which I have the music stored. And I want to browse on my NOXON and PS3 by folder, nothing else...
Any other input please?
Thank you.

Since last security update my MacBook is slow as ever. How can I correct this?

I can't view any pictures on facebook since last night. FF put some pop-up message about it, but I didn't read it properly because I was on the phone. I just want to see my friends picstures but can't now.

I am not sure what the Firefox message said last night when I was looking at pictures on facebook. It was something about viewing images. Now I can't view any - except I can see the thumbnails - but not the singular image. I can't seem to find anything in the Firefox settings about this.

See:
* [[Images or animations do not show]]
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Can't Install Itunes on Windows 7 64-bit due to unwanted updater

OK, so I've known for years that Apple puts a WHOLE lot of crap on your computer when you install Itunes. It asks you specifically if you want to automatically update Apple software, and no matter how hard you click the NO box, it puts the apple updater there anyway.
I just purchased my first piece of Apple hardware, namely an iPod touch, and due to this failure of Apple to respect my software wishes, it turns out I've wasted my money because the Apple Software Updater fails to install due to security restrictions.
I run the Itunes installer as administrator. I have given full rights to my logged in Windows user to every folder related to Apple in the Program Data folder. I have spent a couple of hours trying every fix that is availalble in the Apple forums and the Microsoft forums, to no avail.
Seems to me the BEST fix is for Apple to drop the arrogance of forcing me to install the Apple updater in the first place, and trust me to know when I want to download a newer version of Itunes.
This is not the first time I've seen this happen with 64-bit versions of Windows. My guess is that I'll have to extract the Itunes app from the itunes.exe installer, and hopefully be able to install only the software I want. But at the moment I'm kind of peeved that I have to jump through those hoops, and of course, it's entirely possible that won't work at all either. And of course, without iTunes, the iPod touch is completely useless.

Are there any special charaters in your user name? I know that has caused issues in the past. You might need to contact Adobe support for this one.

I can't email photos from Windows Photo Gallery anymore, it says the host "mozilla firefox" cannot be found. what do I do?

A window pops up and says, "The host "Mozilla Firefox" could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Subject "remove", account; 'pop3', server; 'mozilla firefox', protocol: smtp, port; 25, secure (SSL); no, socket error; 11001, error number; 0x800ccc0d " Tasks" send 36 messages using 'pop3', status failed connection local area network I used to send photos all the time, now they don't get sent. What can I do?

Open the older library with the Finder
and look in the Originals folder to see if the full sized files are present. If they are you can make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
2. delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Fix #3
Use iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

The iTune Dock pop-up notification no longer works since last software update.

Previously i was using the pop-up iTunes notification, enabled by entering"defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE;killall Dock' into Terminal to activate it once only.
Since installing the last OS software update every time i change songs in iTunes, instead of popping up and saying what song is now playing as it used to, the whole dock dissapears and reappears when i change songs instead of the pop-up appearing.
How can i fix this?

Open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
If you see the HP PSC printer, select that then click - (minus)
Then download and install the driverrs for your printer model and v10.9 here > Software & driver downloads HP PSC 2350 All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
Then go back to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print then click + to add the printer.
If that doesn't help, follow the instructions for Resetting the printing system

HT4528 Can't Send Email Since Last Few Updates

My mother and I both have iPhones - she has a 4 and I have a 5. Since the last update on the software, we cannot send Email. We can receive them but cannot send them. Our mail settings are correct - this is not a problem with our Email providers. I use Time Warner and she uses GVTC. I have verified these settings are correct. I see that many people have posted this same issue and can't get it resolved because Apple says it is the Email provider and the Email provider says it is Apple. I know for a fact that it is not my Email provider.
I believe that a bug has been introduced to our phones with the one of the more recent updates that is affecting us to be able to send Email. I was able to turn off my Mom's Wifi at her house and get her Email to send out but only if her Wifi is off and that trick doesn't work on my phone. We shouldn't have to use tricks to get it to work though. Dear Apple - as much as I love my phone - this will force me to switch to a competitor if it doesn't get fixed. PLEASE fix this bug. Please do not tell me it is my Email provider as I use these same settings on my Windows tablet with no issues. Too many people are having this issue for it not to be a problem with the Apple software.

This was the ticket to rid phone of this daunting message/alert “Cannot Send Mail, the connection to the outgoing server "smtp.aol.com" failed.” After spending way to many hours reading through dozens of forums, trying suggestions, I found a fix. I was attempting to set up a fully functioning aol email on a new 5C. It seems (a lot, if not all) email servers, browsers, engines (not sure of correct terminology) have issues with this. Luckily I came upon this solution after trying check your smtp's, delete email account and reload, turn on that deal and switch that one off, restart phone. I was so hopeful with everyone of these only to become more enraged when it didn't work.
THE FIX
access your email provider through safari, etc on phone
log in and send email to someone
a security diagram/code appeared, upon entering, got a happy lil message from aol saying email was operational, something along those lines
went back to apple email icon, crossing fingers, sent a message and it worked!!!!!!!
Hope this works, let the world know if it does,
If I can save one person the misery I went through, I’m all (: (: (: (:

Since last software update I can't sync Outlook Calendar btwn Q10 and laptop (it worked perfectly before update!)

I can sync my contacts, but get the same error msg each time I try to sync my calender (which is crucial for me). Error msg is: Unable to process organizer data
I've looked in the BlackBerry Knowledge Base and their Resolution is:
This is a previously reported issue that is being investigated by our development team. No resolution time frame is currently available.
Any suggestions from the BB Forum would be appreciated!
Thanks!
