Cursor is trapped in white rectangle (in windows) when trying to exit certain programs
I recently installed windows 8.1 using bootcamp 5 onto my 2011 macbook pro that's running on mavericks. I really only wanted it so I would be able to play some old pc games through steam. The install seemed to go pretty smooth but I ran into a huge problem when I actually opened a game.
I'm not sure if it's a problem with windows or steam, but every time I go to play a game it works just fine until i go to save and close it out, then a big white rectangle appears and seems to trap my cursor so that I cant do anything at all. After some fooling around I was able to get the game to close, but the white rectangle was still there on the desktop screen and wouldn't allow my cursor to go anywhere. I tried swapping to the space with the live tiles, and the white rectangle didn't appear there, but mouse was still acting like it was. I had to restart my laptop for this problem to finally go away.
does anyone know what might be the cause or suggestions on how to fix this?? thanks!
The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

PS CS5 Extended on Windows
When trying to use the clone stamp and/or healing brush as soon as I move the cursor from the toolbar over to the image I get an exact copy of the existing layer that moves around the window with the movement of the clone stamp/healing brush. This just started tonight. What's causing this weird behaviour?What are the settings in Window > Clone Source?

I use Photoshop elements 9 to edit , since the last up-date when I'm in iPhoto and click edit in external editor when photoshop opens it sits there a minute and and then a error window comes up saying something about an unvalead jpeg marker can't open but I came drag the image out of iPhoto to the desktop and then open it with photoshop with no trouble ? help I'm running 10.6.7 on a 2007 mac pro iPhoto 11 Ver. 9.1.3
There's a bug in iPhoto 9.1.3 when using Photoshop as the external editor when trying to edit a tif, png or psd file. That's because iPhoto is just duplicating that file and changing the extension to jpg without acutally changing the photo's format. That's why PS says it's an unknown format.
No know solution at this time except edit only jpgs and raw files in iPhoto with Photoshop. Also send a bug report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Downloaded Mountain Lion update 10.8.2 last night. All went well until the message after the download – restart your mac to install this update. The screen went white and the machine didn’t restart. After waiting for quite a while, I shutdown using the main power button. Restarted iMac later and it opened in 10.8.1 and the iTunes icon informed me that I had an upgrade to 10.8.2 that required me to restart the machine to install the upgrade. I did this and again, the screen went white and froze when trying to restart. Rebooted thinking I might be OK to run in 10.8.1 and ignoring the update but when I tried this the Mac worked fine but when I came to shut down I got the white screen freeze thing again. Does anyone have any easy-to-follow solutions for this or will I have to shut down using the main power button every day?
Many thanks for any suggestions.Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS. -
Receive Error Window when Trying to Save "Current Frame" FCP X
Anyone have a similiar experience with this error window message when trying to use the Save Current Frame feature? (Which used to be way easier in FCP 7)
KK-
Solution for now is as follows for anyone else who stumbles upon this bug.
For .mp4 files, create optimized media before trying "save current frame"
Drop all files into a main timeline to create/use "save current frame" feature- don't try and use it by selecting clips from the browser and entering the "open in timeline" option from the right-click drop down.
Again, tested on two separate machines (mid-2010 Mac Pro and early 2008 Mac Pro, both with Lion and Compressor)
Cheers,

i have recently installed the ni 4552 for pci dynamic signal analyser, and am attempting to configure my system and teach myself labview. when attempting to run the daq solution wizard i am presented with the daq hardware configuration required window.
Attachments:
DAQ_Hardware_Configuration_Required.ppt 38 KBhi brian, thanks for your help. i have recently received version 6.1, and done a complete re-install. i have also downloaded the latest ni daq (6.9.2) and ni dsa (6.11) versions and installed them, but still i get the same error message when trying to open the solutions wizard (please see attached powerpoint presentation).
upon selecting the "go to ni daq config utility" option MAX opens. everything appears to be in order (device passes test, test panels run ok and virtual channels are configured correctly). i am unable to go any further.
i would appreciate any guidance that you are able to give me in this matter. many thanks in advance of your help.

Let's say when i try to upload something onto a website using safari, when then Finder window opened up, I have like 70% chance encounter the "spinning wheel" in the left coner, the search progress takes about 10 seconds to complete. This is very annoying. I have late 2013 15 inch, and i have done twice "Clean install" of Mavericks, still the same problem. How can i solve this... Really gonna cry...
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Media Encoder CC2014.2 crash on windows when trying to export when quicktime is installed
Hi,
I'm trying to export .mov files (created on random Mac computers in very hi-res) to reduce file size, and have the same output format. (possibly 1080p H.264-> .mp4)
I installed Media Encoder cc2014.2 on my pc (win7, 64bits, french).
When I first tested, Only the audio was being exported. But I soon realized I didn't had the proper codec installed on my PC.
(I wasn't able to play the original video file, only the audio was playing).
So, like a good boy I installed Apple Quicktime (7.76.80.95)
With quicktime on my PC I was able to play the original video file. (with quicktime player)
So I opened Media Encoder again, and on the preview this time I can see the video with the sound. But as soon as I start the coding (the little green arrow) Adobe Media Encoder crash.
I have tried multiple output format, it always crash right when I start exporting the file.
I uninstalled Quicktime, and media encoder is working again ... but my original files (.mov) can't be exported with video, only the sound.
I have tried a third party codec (K-Lite), I can see the video+sound on my pc, but Media Encoder is still blind, no video, only the sound.
Is there a way to add codec to Media encoder without having to install Quicktime?
Or a way to make Media Encoder work on my PC when Quicktime is installed?
btw I'm sorry if my text is a bit confusing, I'm french speaking
Thank's in advance!The Error is back!!!
Yesterday it worked today it crashes when I export from premiere via media encoder. I tried it with all the things you told me:
1. Bars+Tone => export => crash
2. Video Project with 2 short h264-files => export => crash
3. Software only renderer => crash
These are the two logs that I found:

Exit window when cklicking the exit button of the window
Hello,
my form exists of some canvases and windows. At the moment I have in every window a button to hide the active window. But I want to exit or hide the window by cklicking on the 'X' above in every canvas or window. How can I do that?But this closes the complete Form. I will try to explain my problem concretely. For example I have 3 Windows in my Form. If window 1 is in the background and window 2 is the active window and I click the 'X' the window 2 must be closed and window 1 should be the active window. But I the window 3 is in background and then window 1 is in background and I close window 2 then window 1 is the active window and only window 3 is in background.
That means that If I click the 'x' in each window I want to hide this window only. -

Br CS5: HD's don't show in "Browse files/folder" window when trying to "copy to" or "move to"
Yesterday I copy/moved a number of files and folders using Bridge CS5 (something I've done frequently for years, and never a problem) - and now today the "browse files/folders window" would not show the C drive and the other drives within that tree. The process normally is as follows right click a file or folder then the following... copy to/choose folder/browse files and folders. The C-drive and it's related drives fails to show...only the Desktop and my "computer user name". I tried doing a reset with Bridge...nothing changes. Any help appreciated. (Related - I tried backing up my LR catalog to a new location...and my C drive tree wouldn't show there as well)
I suspect generating the directory tree is a function of the OS and not Adobe. If you open Windows Explorer is erveything OK?
There was a post a number of months ago that was similar to yours, will see if I can find it.
Do you use the Library or do you have pics in folders?

I am trying to print to PDF from Word, Revit, Firefox and all have given me a Access Denied window popup and would cancel the print. I have Adobe Acrobat X and Creative Design Suite 6.
So you are trying to print to the Adobe PDF printer? What is the full statement of the error (typically it indicates a folder or such does not allow access)? If you open Distiller, are there settings files available that you can view?
In the print menu, select print to file. Then open this file in Distiller. What happens with these two steps and do you get a PDF after the second step? -
When trying to exit the window, it minimizes instead.
Hello everyone
Recently I've had an issue where i try to go up and close a window by clicking the red button
as i do so, the yellow button actually does the "pushed in" thing as if I clicked the yellow button instead of the red one.
So it minimizes and i have to go back down to the dock, maximize it, and then go back again and click the red button for it to close.
I know many prefer to just command+q but sometimes for apps like iTunes and iChat, I would just like to close the window so I have more room (13.3 inches doesn't support too many windows, but I love my MacBook)
So doe anyone know if I there is a setting I can change or something I can do so when I want to exit out of a window, it actually exits, and not minimizes.
Thank yoU!On occasion something along these lines happen with me as well, but I am not sure if it is the same thing you are experiencing as I have realized my problem is not a software issue but a mistake on my part. In any application when you double click in the title bar the window will minimize. The problem is that the area where this is available reaches from the left-most part ot the title bar to the right-most, including the area of the buttons. Every once in a while when I wish to close a window, i will simply miss the 'close' button and instead press the area in between the red and yellow buttons, therefor justifing the first click of the pair. And because the 'close' button lies withen the reigon of the title bar, when I attempt to again close the window, I create the second click and miimize the window. I looked again and noticed that when minimizing via the title bar, the yellow button goes into it's 'pushed' state as you described. And I think the reason this is a more common mistake in Safari is because I have noticed the buttons in the Safari toolbar are much closer to the top of the window than any other application I have looked at. Hope this helps you or anyone else who is making this mistake.
BTW, in the course of testing out my theory, I have accedentaly closed my Safari window mid-post twice, and have had to start over from scratch... TWICE ><<br>

Getting Server Busy window when trying to download a .pdf file from any web site.
When the "Server Busy" window opens, there are 3 choices: switch to; retry; cancel. I select switch to; it starts downloading the file, but appears to be stuck/locked up at a certain point. I usually have to go to Task Manager and cancel the download. Sometimes, after trying different things, the .pdf succeeds in downloading' can't tell what does/doesn't work. Retry doesn't do anything. Cancel doesn't close the Server Busy window.
