Compiz+GTK issue (curio not a 'problem')

Using the GTK window decorator with Compiz Fusion gives me strange white borders around gnome panels, drop-down menus and tooltips - but Emerald works fine. Have also had this on Debian, Its not really a problem, since I can just use Emerald - but I'm curious te know if anyone knows why it might be happening

Open the Compiz Settings Manager, go to Advanced and select "Window Decoration". For "Shadow Windows" enter the string "any !dock".

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Reset the PRAM.
Step 7
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 8
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Compiz, GTK window decorator not getting along with metacity

Hello,
Today gtk-window-decorator managed to break on my machine, resulting in no window decorations. I'm using emerald as a temporary solution, but I'd prefer to go back to gtk-window-decorator if possible. When I start compiz, the following occurs:
gtk-window-decorator: error while loading shared libraries: libmetacity-private.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I found some posts that suggested using metacity2 instead of metacity, but I'm using compiz-bzr from the AUR which lists metacity as a dependency which conflicts with metacity2. I tried downgrading metacity, but that didn't help. I'm not entirely sure where to go from here.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your help!
Installing the stable version of compiz got gtk-window-decorator working again, but now I have no minimize or maximize buttons on any gtk theme (only a close button), and gtk-window-decorator throws me
(gtk-window-decorator:23942): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type '(null)' in cast to 'WnckWindow'
gtk-window-decorator: Ignoring unknown or already-used button name "appmenu"
EDIT: This problem was solved by running
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "'menu:minimize,maximize,close'"
for future reference to anyone who stumbles across this post. Thanks again for the help!

What happens when you use the MagSafe?

When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

What makes you so sure it isn't software?
The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

its not related to any hardware because last year april i got replacement new phone from apple and i maintained it well...!

Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

Dear sir,

But Now what happen they told you must have to send this iPHONE to Australia. But I have checked the courier people is not ready to take this device to australia. I will send it if any body of my relative comes to india but it will take a long time may be 8 to 10 months . I already suffering this problem since last 9 and half months and also for replacement it will take another 10 months. so it will very difficult for me. i request you to please send a new device at my address and i will send you this iPhone 4S return back when my some relative comes to australia.

10.5.7 sleep issues, I don't have ethernet, that's not the problem

I'm not that computer savvy so please simplify your answers and solutions to my problem. I know that my problems have to do with 10.5.7 because they started after I downloaded the update. My computer needs to be rebooted every other time I shut the lid to let it sleep because it won't go into sleep mode. I've done the thing where I hold down control, command, p and r (or whatever it is, I did it right). I fixed my airport so that it would disconnect whenever my computer goes to sleep (I don't use ethernet, that's not the problem). What other solution is there to this problem? How can I remove the update? Please only offer new suggestions, not the two above that I already tried. Hopefully someone can explain this to me in a way I can understand and give some good suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Before I move on to the more complicated suggestion, I wanted to ask about Disk Repair. I opened up the Disk Repair and I verified the hard drive and there weren't any problems.
You mean Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder)? Did you run the +Verify Disk+ (not permissions) option, or did you look at the bottom where it says *S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified?*
If you didn't run +Verify Disk,+ do that first. If it finds errors, you'll have to boot from your Leopard Install disc to repair them (you can't repair the disk you're running from). Post back if you need to do this but don't know how.
But when I tried to verify the permissions it said there was less than one minute left and the little status bar didn't move past half way so eventually I just had to stop the verifications.
Assuming you ran +Verify Disk+ and it showed no problems, how long did you let +Verify Permissions+ run? It does take quite a while on Leopard; 20 minutes or more, depending on your Mac, how much is on it, etc.
By the way, it's a waste of time to run +Verify Permissions.+ Run +Repair Permissions+ instead.
Can you also sort of simplify the second suggestion about the combo update?
This is a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released. Installing it should fix anything that went wrong with any previous "point" update. Download and info are at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
Once it's downloaded, back-up your Mac if you can, then:
1. Disconnect everything except your Keyboard and mouse.
2. Repair permissions if you didn't above.
3. Double-click the downloaded file to install it.
4. After your Mac reboots normally, run Repair Permissions again.

Display issue / possible video card problem but I'm not sure

Over the last couple of days twice now I've had this frantic burst of random shapes take over my screen rendering operation useless until a restart.
Take a look: http://i15.tinypic.com/6q94ufp.png
Yes, I have been able to take a screenshot as you can see.
It happens most often during space switching (via accessing spaces, and then clicking on a square I want to go to), as well as QuickLook activation, or video playing. Anyone want to help me sort this out so I can get back to normal with my Mac?
This Mac has also randomly shut down twice now, and this might be related, but I don't know.

I am linking my thread to this one:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6305391
Having exact same problem on iMac 20" which has different display chip (ATI X1600), which outcloses the manufacturer. Now when I think of it the problem usually appeared during Spaces desktop switching but I think once or twice it happened inside a windowed game screen (suddenly one object like a character puffs into random polygons, then it spreads to normal desktop windows too.)
I am currently downgraded to Tiger form Leopard to test if this was a leopard issue (never had this problem in tiger in the past.)
Also RAM on my iMac is the default that Apple shipped it with (2x 800MHz non-ecc 512MB so-dimms.)

GTK applications do not use KDE's colour scheme while using oxygen-gtk

As the title says, GTK apps use widgets from oxygen gtk but they only use the default oxygen colour scheme. If I change KDE's colour scheme GTK applications do not.
This is the intended behavior: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl … ctOxEEnptY
However on My system:
http://i.imgur.com/3QMWb.png
http://i.imgur.com/n6Cug.png
No, it is not just changing colours while the applications is open, problem persists if I restart the application or even reboot.
Anyone know what the problem is? Could it be faulty permissions?
I have experienced this issue in the past with Arch, not just with the recent KDE 4.9 release but with 4.8 as well.

Solved.
I am using kde-gtk-config from AUR and the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 created by it were conflicting with other files.
I had to delete ~/.kde4/share/config/gtkrc-2.0 as well as ~/.kde4/share/config/gtkrc

The "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem that existed in all versions of Firefox 3.6 persists in Firefox 4.0

Starting on April 14, 2011, I tried installing Firefox 4.0, which I downloaded from the Mozilla site. The first couple of times I tried to install it, it corrupted Firefox file places.sqlite. I know this because the install renamed the file to places.sqlite.corrupt. Luckily, I had recent backups. My previous installed versions were 3.5.18, which I had been using up to this time, and 3.6.16. I tried installing 4.0 with 3.6.16 installed, which I installed only for the sake of installing 4.0, and with no previous version installed and got the same bad results. I finally got a "successful" install on April 16, 2011, with no previous version installed.
Early on I discovered that Firefox 4.0 hangs (Firefox not responding) when left to idle for exactly 5 minutes (I timed it several times after immediately starting Firefox), pegging a constant 50% of the CPU when it hangs. I left it in a hanging state for up to half an hour, but nothing changed. This problem existed for all versions of Firefox 3.6, which is why I didn't install version 3.6.16 until I was ready to install version 4.0. I never kept any version of Firefox 3.6 installed for more than a couple of hours because of this problem. I need to be able to let Firefox stay idle for long periods of time -- certainly for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds -- without having it hang, and I was able to do that with all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6. It's incomprehensible that Firefox 4.0 has to always hang if it's inactive for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds, and it's incomprehensible that this problem has been present and persistent since version 3.6 was introduced. To believe that 4 minutes and 59 seconds is sufficient idle time for a browser is absurd. This was never an issue with any version of Firefox prior to version 3.6, this was never an issue with Netscape, and it's not an issue with IE 8.
There are 2 other problems related to the hanging problem. If the browser and the bookmarks library are both open and the browser is closed normally, the bookmarks library remains open. After being left idle for exactly 5 minutes, the bookmarks library hangs, pegging a constant 50% of the CPU. If Firefox 4.0 is restarted before the 5 minute idle limit, it starts successfully. If an attempt is made to restart it after the 5 minute idle limit, it won't start. If the bookmarks library is left open for less than 5 minutes after the browser is closed, it can be closed successfully. In all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6, the bookmarks library automatically closed when the browser was closed. The other related problem is that Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU without hanging even while it is being used and even if the only thing open is the home page, which in my case is google.com. Firefox can be used while this is happening, but it is worrisome and shouldn't be happening. Normally, Firefox 4.0 uses no CPU when it is left to idle within the 5 minute idle limit.
Firefox 4.0 has not crashed on its own yet, so I've had no crash reports to send to Mozilla, but because I've had to use the "End Now" button on the Microsoft unresponsive program window numerous times to terminate it when it hangs, numerous Microsoft Windows dump reports have been generated, all of which I've sent to Microsoft.
The last fully working version of Firefox I had was 3.5.18. Unfortunately, I don't have the installer for that version and Mozilla doesn't make it available anymore. Also, it looks like version 4.0 altered the places.sqlite file such that I might not be able to go back to version 3.5.18 even if I could. If I could reinstall version 3.5.18 and get it to work with the altered places.sqlite file, I would, but it is outdated and no longer supported by Mozilla, and I only want to use up-to-date and supported software.
The hanging problem is totally intolerable and unacceptable. If I can't get a version of Firefox 4.0 anytime soon that doesn't hang after being idle for just 5 minutes (why 5 minutes???) or for any limited amount of time, I'll have to install and use Google Chrome as a permanent replacement for Firefox. (If I do have to replace Firefox with Google Chrome, how can I get my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links to open in Google Chrome when I click on them?) Based on other user feedback regarding this problem dating back to the very first Firefox 3.6 version, Mozilla has had ample time to resolve it. I have found other problems with Firefox 4.0, but I'm not going to bother telling Mozilla about them because if the hanging problem isn't resolved soon, I'll have to stop using Firefox permanently. I can't and won't tolerate the hanging problem. I have been using Firefox exclusively for many years, but my disappointment with it has been growing since version 3.6 was introduced and my patience has run out.
I would appreciate Mozilla letting me know within a week of this posting if they can't or won't fix the Firefox 4.0 hanging problem. If I don't receive a substantive response to this problem within a week, I'm going to have to abandon Firefox permanently and switch to Google Chrome. I'm also going to leave a negative review of Firefox 4.0 on CNET to warn other potential users of the hanging problem.
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition 32-bit SP3 on a Dell XPS 400 desktop computer. I have an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 3.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 RAM @ 265MHz, RADEON X300 SE 128MB HyperMemory, and 190GB of free space on my hard drive. I am using COMODO as my firewall and Avira AntiVir as my anti-virus software. I am also using WinPatrol and Secunia PSI. My ISP is AT&T. My download speed averages 2.5 Mbps, and my upload speed averages 0.65 Mbps. All of my software is up to date, thanks to Secunia PSI and CNET TechTracker, and my computer is free from infection.

Another aspect of the Firefox 4.0 "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem has emerged. I have found that on the common occurrence when Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU while idling within the 5 minute idle limit and I close it normally, it disappears from the Task Bar but continues to run and continues to peg a constant 50% of the CPU. I tried restarting Firefox 4.0 and got the following message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Before Firefox can be restarted, the existing Firefox process must be killed via the Task Manager or Process Explorer (I use the latter), after which a Microsoft Windows dump report is immediately generated. I always allow the dump to be sent to Microsoft.
The three big questions that have gone unanswered by Mozilla are 1) why did the hanging problem start with the very first release of Firefox 3.6, 2) why was the problem allowed to continue on up to and through Firefox 4.0, and 3) why hasn't Mozilla fixed the problem yet? And what is the significance of the 5 minute idle limit? Do Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 try to launch something when the browser and/or the bookmarks library have been idle for exactly 5 minutes? Maybe it's a problem with the number and/or type of plugins and extensions and/or the number of bookmarks. Maybe Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 work just fine if there are few to no plugins, extensions, and bookmarks, but that doesn't realistically accommodate users. Whatever the cause of the problem, Mozilla should have had a handle on it by now.
If anyone from Mozilla Support is reading this post, please let me know if it is possible to roll back Firefox 4.0 to Firefox 3.5.18. If it is possible, how do I do it, and where can I get the installer for Firefox 3.5.18? If I can reinstall it, I'll use it until Secunia Software Inspector informs me that it is insecure and no longer safe to use. At that point (maybe much sooner), I'll switch to Google Chrome exclusively because I don't want to use outdated software that is insecure and because I don't believe that Mozilla intends to fix the hanging problem and is willing to lose users over it. I certainly don't want to use software like Firefox 4.0 that has such an impactful problem. If I do have to abandon Firefox, how can I click on Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links and get them to open in Google Chrome?

FMS Audio (MP3) Glitches - Hosting Issue or Not

I've got several webinars that an associate of mine helped me
build several years ago in Flash MX 2004. They are about 40 minutes
long, but have been broken into about 8 chapters (seperate .swf
files). The .swf files connect to audio (mp3) streams running off
of an external hosted FMS server via RTMP. We are using the older
MediaDisplay and MediaPlayback components from MX 2004 to play the
audio while the screens within Flash are setup with cuepoints to
sync to the audio.
This has worked for years, except the problem is that the
chapters do not always seem to make the connection to the external
FMS audio. Sometimes simply pressing the pause button on and off
will get it to play. Other times you have to refresh the screen. I
can't figure out if this is a hosting issue or not. We have tried a
few different FMS hosts at this point at about the $100/month
plans, but keep having the same problems.
What can we do to eliminate (or diminish) these connection
problems? We really don't want to redevelop these at this point in
time, so if there is anything we can do to modify what we have or
our hosting, that would be helpful.
thanks,
route3w

It sounds like the swf doesn't handle onSync correctly. I
would suggest logging the connection event, stream events, etc to
gain more insight into the problem (both client side logging and
server side).

Do not have not responding problem with chrome

I like Firefox much better than chrome - but when I have the not responding problem, after about 15 minutes
I switch to Chrome and do not have this problem - Hopefully someone can help with this.

Web Service Issue - Security or Coding problem? *HELP*

Hello all - I am stuck on a particular problem, which I've posted under flash player but also will post here in the event that it's my issue, and not a security/player issue.
I have built a video player in Flash/ AS3 which communicates with WSDL web services using the as3webservice code package from wellconsidered. The player makes a call at startup to check a user's progress in a series of videos, and updates that progress by talking to the web service as the videos are played back.
Tested locally, it works flawlessly. As soon as the player is uploaded, however, the web service' hangs' - so no fault is produced, but it seems to just never connect. This is presumably because the SWF is on one server, the web service on another. I've tried uploading it to two different servers, both different than the web service server. I'm trying to avoid moving the web service to the same server that hosts the SWF.
I've tried adding a crossdomain.xml file to the root and subdirectories of the server that hosts the web service:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
"http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
    <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
    <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
    <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
I've also tried playing with the SWF publishing options (Local Access only vs. Network only options), but no solution seems to help. I know it's not just the web service i"m using, because public web services (such as the ones found on webservicex.net) don't connect either.
I'm at the end of my rope, and am wondering if this is a Flash Player security issue, or something I need to reconsider from my side (such as using a different web services package).I am wondering if a crossdomain.xml does not help, what other possible areas do I need to look at? If there is an article someone could point me to, or a simliar situation they've been in, i'm iopen to all suggestions.
Thanks so much...fg

You can generally check what the player is doing from the browser by using firefox with the firebug plugin. For example you can see the crossdomain permission requests or other urlrequests and responses. This is a useful way to debug as it sometimes shows issues or at the very least means you can eliminate one potential cause of the issue if there are no obvious problems there.
If you don't have firefox/firebug, then (if you can) post a url with the swf in it that exhibits the error and I or someone else can check it for you and report back.
