Definitive solution to repainting/flicker?

I have an application which displays a series of JDialogs with each one closing before the next one displays. I am getting 2 cosmetic problems:
1) A dialog frame pops up first with the background behinnd inside it and then with a slight delay the panel is painted inside it rather than popping up complete - this just looks a bit rubbish - is there anyway to pop up a completed dialog?
2) When the dialog is closed the next one starts to paint before it has completely disappeared - again looking a bit crap - is there anyway to ensure that the first one has completely disappeared before the next is painted?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Phil

Might help to make sure you have the dialogs constructed before they are needed. Apart from that, and perhaps restructuring your dialogs into a single dialog with panels appearing 1 after the other (wizard style), I'm not sure there's much you can do.

A definitive solution to stop Mail constantly asking for my password??

I have Snow Leopard running on Intel iMac.
Like so many others my Mac Mail keeps on asking for my password even though its saved on my keychain.
I have read pretty every solution I can find find from Keychain repair to deleting and creating a new account.... No joy... problem still occurs a few times a day on both my Hotmail pop and Gmail pop.....
I wanted to know if there is a definitive solution to this problem... is there a software release for this or an ABSOLUTE .... PROVEN TO FIX ALL OCCURRENCES SOLUTION.... that works for everyone.??
If not then I suppose I must use a different email client
Thanks for your replies

Dodgy servers being likely... is that going to happen with both Gmail and Hotmail?
Doesn't happen with my GMail account. I'm connecting to GMail via IMAP, what about you? As to Hotmail, that one's notorious for having trouble with Mail.
As to the fact that you don't see the problem with Entourage, it could be that there's something wrong with your Mail setup, but I don't know what might be different about how Entourage communicates with the server. I'm sure Ernie might have some insights.
In the "Preferences" "Accounts" "Account Information" I put in my password and then save on exiting... as far as I am concerned it is saved within the software. But whenever this issue occurs, the saved password has vanished.
It's actually stored in the Keychain, which could be one source of problems. If your keychain is damaged, it would cause problems for Mail but probably not Entourage. Try opening Keychain Access and choose Keychain Access -> Keychain First Aid. Also, try deleting the account passwords in the keychain completely, then enter the password when Mail prompts for it and check the box to save it in the keychain.
Why would a "troublesome server from a location with bad internet service" delete the password I have saved on an Apple software product...
If you get a password prompt, and you try to enter the password but it gets rejected due to some difficulty communicating with the server, Mail might decide to remove the "incorrect" password. That's just theory, as I've never actually done that. On the rare occasion that I get a password prompt, I just hit cancel, wait a little while and take the account online again. Typically, unless the server is still having difficulty, mail is retrieved without the need to re-enter the password.

[solved] Need DEFINITE solution to 'no more qt-config' problem

The qt-config utility (the one with which you could "switch" between qt3 and qt4) recently vanished. Is there a known definite solution to this problem, i.e. a way to set EXACTLY the same states/variables/symlinks/whatever that were set with "qt-config qt" and "qt-config qt4"?
And by the way, why was qt-config removed?
Last edited by Rulatir (2009-01-11 11:14:19)

Because KDE 4.0 is just around the corner, qt4 from [community] will be moved to [extra] as qt. qt (3.3.8) will then be renamed to qt3 (still in [extra]).
http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev … 02910.html
As for the QT4 compilation, you won't need the qt-config anymore because qt4 is the "default" qt.
$ which qmake
/usr/bin/qmake
$ qmake -v
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.3.2 in /usr/lib
For Qt4 compilation:
source /etc/profile.d/qt4.sh
qmake (I explicitly use the /usr/bin prefix though)
make
For Qt3:
source /etc/profile.d/qt.sh
${QTDIR}/bin/qmake
make

Is there a definitive solution to the "Leopard Printer Pause" problem?

Curious if there was any definitive solution to the problem of networked printers pausing instead of printing when a job has been sent to it. I've combed these forums looking for solutions and everything that seems to have work for some has not worked for me, including: connecting via LPD rather than AppleTalk and IP, connecting using HP Jet Direct, setting up the printer using CUPS instead of using the System Prefs, etc. I have a Xerox Phaser 4500 that worked fine under Tiger, but refuses to print without pause issues under 10.5.2 (except, oddly enough and unlike others, it WILL print immediately in CS3 apps, or at least InDesign, where I spend 90% of my time). I've got the latest firmware and PPD for the 4500, but no luck. Here's what Console throws up:
2/19/08 1:24:59 PM Phaser_4500N[8964] CMSCreateDataProviderOrGetInfo : Malformed colorspace
I sure would love to know what's going on. Anything else I should try?

RESOLVED
I had the same problem with both my Epson R1800 and CX9400. After 30 minutes with Epson, resulting in the best way to do a clean install of your drivers (outlined in this post:<http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6761221#6761221>), the CSR said that the issue was Apple Related.
I am hesitant to call Apple, but in this case it proved to be the smartest and best solution. The Apple expert found that this is a known issue stemming from the last security update (Security Update 2008-002) resulting in a conflict involving SSH and printing outlined here: ,http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=1437>
The conflict is with a small piece of software called "Instant Hijack" that is installed with many applications offered by Rogue Amoeba. The fix is an update to Rogue Amoeba software such as Audio Hijack Pro. "Instant hijack 2.0.3" is not a stand alone installer, it can only be updated through Rogue Amoeba's software such as Audio Hijack. <http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/>
Hope this helps, it worked perfectly for me and I have been unable to print a single page since the security update.

Printing in black and white only - looking for a definitive solution

Hi
I've been trying to find out once and for all how to make sure my black and white text documents are printing only from the large pigment-based cartridge (525 PGBK), rather than using the smaller black dye-based cartridge (526BK), or from a combination of the dye-based colour cartridges. I've trawled through endless forums, and finally in frustration I recently called Canon's Australian phone support team.
I thought I'd nailed it. The phone support person told me that if the document I'm printing is definitely black only, then all I need to do is print normally, with grayscale DE-selected. He said nothing about also de-selecting duplex. But I've since read online advice that contradicts this in relation to other models (I haven't found any advice based specifically on the MG6150, apart from the phone guy from Canon). Some say you need to SELECT grayscale and DE-select duplex; others say to DE-select both grayscale and duplex; others say to select grayscale, DE-select duplex, and also select dither (on my screen that's under Main > Print Quality > Custom). I'm now wondering whether I've nailed it after all.
If anyone from Canon is reading this, can you please give a definitive answer to these questions:
1. How do I ensure that my black and white text documents print only from the large pigment cartridge?
2. Can I print in automatic duplex using this method, or do I have to do manual duplex?
2. Will this also work for purely black and white NON-text documents as well (e.g., photos that have been converted from colour to B&W)?
3. If not, is there another way of forcing B&W NON-text documents to print from the pigment cartridge? What about a way of forcing colour documents to print from the pigment cartridge?
4. If my smaller black dye cartridge (526BK) isn't being used up at the same rate as the other dye cartridges, is there a way of forcing the printer to use this instead of the pigment cartridge for B&W text documents, but NOT to mix in any of the colour cartridges at the same time?
5. Does this procedure work for all other Canon printer models in addition to the MG6150, or just a limited range?
Many thanks for your patience in reading this -- I'm really trying to get the best out of my printer rather than give up and buy a different brand, and I'm sure others would appreciate a definitive answer to these questions as well.

I have at MG8100 and it seems that there is no solution to this. I have scoured the web for one and it seems that there is no way to print in black and white only. The grayscale option uses all the colours including black to print.
I have gone through a ton of colour ink just printing black and white documents. Its cost me a fortune and I've worked out that I can get it done cheaper by going to the print shop.
As far as I am concerned this unbelievable. A printer that doesn't give you the option to print using black ink only! And its not advertised or made known in any way. You have to buy the product and then find out later that it does not have a black and white print option. It seems there are a lot of people out there that are unhappy about this, and the "problem" seems to go quite far back. Why haven't Canon responded by adding this feature?! I wont say it here, but I think it must be obvious. Brings to mind the story of housecleaning product manufacturers that increase the size of the closures so that consumers will use more of the product, which is actually wasteful, so as to increase the purchase cycle.
This leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm flogging mine now, and I am done with Canon for good!

Need definitive solution Suite 6.83.14.1 not worki...

I see a lot of comments of frustration. but no one solution.
I just received my CA-42 cable with software.
I have Windows XP with Service Pack 2
2118 nokia phone
6.83.9.0 Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver
6.83.14.1 Suite
I got a disk with the cable... I couldn't get the driver to work with what ever version it came with and so decided to get the latest software.
What I've read is that the installation should take care of installing the driver.
I get to a point in the Nokia suite "Get Connected" and it appears that it can not find the cable or cable with phone
I the XP wizard keep responding "new hardware found" but it can not resolve the connection. I'm not sure if Nokia suite is suppose to do this without the xp wizard or not.
Can this be made to work or not?
I've never tried this setup out before on any phone.. I'm new to this. I just wanted to be able to back up the data on the phone.
What is the solution please

Removing the cable driver did not work.. Your suggestion was not quite as specific as I was hoping for
I left the 6.83.14.1 Suite installed.
Is the xp wizard for installing drivers part of the process?
I have yellow ? marks in the system hardware listing with these cable drivers
I've found two other cable drivers... This term cable drives why don't the just say USB driver?
The Cable Drivers/USB I found are came from http://www.nokia.com.au/nokia/0,,81050,00.html
Will they work with any Suite or do I have to find a particular suite to match them up with?
I've tried them both. Nokia_Conn_Cable_Driver_150_2_eng.exe and Nokia_Conn_Cable_Driver_145_5_eng.exe.
with one of them I did get something to flash on my phone at one point... It came and went and now I'm not even sure which one of the drivers it was. Xp is a pain in the butt forcing one to have to reboot after an installation.
This being the case I'm going to go through the process of installing these two cable drivers once again to see if I can get a handle on where and when I get something.
Still I'm looking for that definitive step one step two etc etc. using which driver which suite downloaded from where etc etc. on how to get it all working..
Is this available?

Temporary Solution for screen flicker r9 280x

After performing various tests I've fixed the screen flickering on my msi r9 280x, I hope this can be useful for all here with the same problem and with different patterns of R9 family, that I have running on my pc and I have not had even the slightest flicker playing youtube videos where the problem became acute.
1 open the task manager and end the process Catalyst Control Center: Monitoring program and also the Catalyst Control Center: Host Application.
2 Go to C: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE right click on the Profiles file, in the end the general menu select Read only, accept.
3 Again right click and select edit, and file searches within these lines
<Feature name="CoreVoltageTarget_PCI_VEN_1002&DEV_6798&SUBSYS_27751462&REV_00_4&320ACFF0&0&0010A">
<Property name = "Want_0" value = "850" /> CHANGE THIS VALUE OF 850 FOR 900 only
<Property name = "Want_1" value = "1200" />
This value changes the low voltage in 2d (resting) 0.85va 0.90v
4 then go to the File menu, select Save As, in writing profiles.xml nombe save.
5 Again right click on the profiles file saved on the desktop and select read-only
6 Go back to Go to C: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE and remove the profiles file.
7 copy or cut and paste into C profiles saved file to your desktop: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE.
8 Finally go to task manager and then click on file to run new task, we write MOM.exe there and ready, restart the pc for security.
to ensure that its voltage is at 0.90v use GPUZ and check the end of the sensors tab.
note that if we use the application msi afterburner not enable Unofficial Overclocking mode option because in themselves to have it on and change the clocks video card testing restores the voltage 0.85V.
when I play some games I use msi afterburner like msi Gaming app since I have experienced that without the Gaming app clocks fall then at 300mhz after making this process voltage, I recommend you use to see, as an example in msi afterburner I apply the core clocks of vga 1100 and Gaming active app one of the two profiles, the Gaming mode or the mode Oc down and watches only parameters selecionados 1020 mhz or 1050 mhz vga respectively when accelerating up to 1100 mhz selected msi afterburner.
I hope this is useful that I share as many as we can not believe that to date no actions are taken to this problem taking into account the value of the video card. Maybe this and many what they knew, but there will be many who do not and those like me tried in many ways to carry it out and not succeeded because that's how I achieved step by step and fully functional, sorry if some way I can not explain to clearly as I do not speak English and I'm using a translator, and hopefully serve them again, I just do it to help them all and hopefully once and for all of the annoying screen flicker go ...

Help with repaint flicker

I am dynamically changing the size of some JPanels on a JLayered pane via a JSlider. To change the size of the panels i am using the setBounds() method of the panels. During execution everything runs as expected however i am getting serious flicker of the components when dragging the JSlider. Can someone tell me why this is happening and if there is anything that i can do to help resolve this? Thanks in advance for your help.

1)3rd partyif you are using a custom look and feel with decorated frames enabled, try this code to eliminate flickering:
    // continuous layout on frame resize
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().setDynamicLayout(true);
    // no flickering on resize
    System.setProperty("sun.awt.noerasebackground", "true");Insert this code before you set the look and feel.
2)Noif the tip above doesn't solve the problem, you should do your own double-buffering, please mail again if you don't know how to do (or browse the forum about double-buffering, i'm shure there are explanations).

Please a solution against crashes when opening a file with Acrobat XI pro?

Hello,
Am a member of Adobe Creative Cloud.
Am also constantly having crashes when opening a file with Acrobat XI pro.
Am running on Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit - RAM 20 GB -
The crash happens systematically after the installation of the update. Within one day I uninstalled and reinstalled the program 4x! It takes of a lot of my time.... Thank you for providing a definitive solution!
Best regards

I've been having the same issue! I try to open it and it crashes - says re-open, it crashes... I re-installed it yesterday and it opened and worked fine. Closed it out at the end of the day thinking everything was finally fine but this morning the same crashes it had yesterday... HELP!!!

Page flicker on pages with SWF content

Hi,
In Dreamweaver CS4, inserting a SWF puts it inside an <object> tag and then there are some helping files. But I have read that for best performance one should also put an <embed> tag inside the object tag. The need for this seems increased when I realize that all my pages with SWFs flicker upon pageload and when googling I see that the solution is to add the "transparent wmode" parameter to my embed tag.
But I can't do that since I have no embed tag.
The SWF inserted is ActionScript2.
1) Is there a setting in DW that I have missed that would create this embed tag as well?
2) If not, what is Dreamweaver's solution to the flicker problem?
(As a side note, when I publish from Flash CS4 and create a HTML together with the SWF, there is neither object nor embed tag created in the HTML, only a huge amount of javascript which I guess does the inserting dynamically. But that leaves me without clues as to how to deal with the flicker in the Flash-generated page as well.)
Thanks a lot,
/G

Hi
The embed tag has been depreciated in (x)html, and this is why the object tag is now used.
As for inserting a wmode transparent, if you check your object code created by dreamweaver you will find a wmode in the code, probably set to 'window' which is the default, just change this to transparent, (this is included in 2 places, 1 for IE, the other for other browsers).
As for the code created in Flash when you publish your file to html, this is included in the swfobject_modified.js file created by dreamweaver and placed in the Scripts folder.
The 'flickering' is most often caused by invalid code, run your pages through the html validator, (not the one included in dreamweaver) - http://validator.w3.org/.

White Screen problem - is there a SOLUTION?

I know that many, many people get the "white screen" with content purchased via Apple TV. I know that unplugging and rebooting the ATV works for me. What I want to know is why this problem persists and if there is a definitive solution to it. I'm connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme, so it's not a network issue.
I'm just tired of the unplug/reboot way of doing things, and would love it if it JUST WORKED...

Not sure if you've tried a reboot by holding Menu and down button, rebooting to diagnostics, then choosing restart - this might temporasrily resolve the issue and prevent you juggling cables, but is slower and not a full fix. Though I'd mention in case you're not aware.
It would be worth telling Apple of the problem here - the more that do the more likely it'll be fixed:

Is there a solution to the screen buzz?

Hello,
My 2010 iMac had its LCD replaced due to stains on the LCD, but when it came back, the screen was "buzzing" at anything but max brightness. I sent it back to the service where they said they could not hear any buzzing, but replaced the LCD a second time. Now it's buzzing at anything but max or min brightness.
The service says they cannot hear any buzzing, and the Turkish Apple distributor just forwards me to the service, so I'm stuck. It's a really irritating, high-pitched buzz. The iMac is in Turkey - Istanbul, by the way, so the Apple services are probably not as "helpful" as those in the U.S.A.
Is there a way to end the buzz without replacing the whole LCD another time? Maybe there's a certain capacitor which is the culprit? I read many stories about this screen buzz on iMacs, there must be a definite solution by now.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hello BDAqua, thank you for the reply.
The iMac is connected (physically) to a USB DAC, a WD FireWire external disk, a Wacom tablet, a Razer mouse and a USB card reader. It's also connected via Ethernet to a Linksys ADSL modem.
Yesterday I looked at some similar threads and saw that some users' problem was due to an extension electrical socket/multiplier or a particular wall socket. Hoping this would be the cause, I unplugged the iMac (and all its peripherals) and set it up on the kitchen table by itself, plugging it without an extension directly into the wall, without any peripherals. The buzz was still there. I guess I can't get away with just getting a new extension cord.
Also, the buzz seems to be much lower when the computer is "cool". I noticed today that when I first booted the computer I couldn't detect the noise, but after running for 5-6 minutes I can easily hear it now.
I think the PSU might be the culprit, but the problem did get a bit better when the panel (together with the backlight) was changed a second time. Is there a way I can pinpoint the cause of the noise? (PSU or panel backlight) Also, do you think I can record it so that I have some "proof" for the repair center?
Thanks again..

Brand new I macbook continually drops wi-fi connection - possible solution

I know that there are many people looking for help on this, and no definitive solution. There are many (too many) LONG threads and a lot of "solutions" which may or may not work for you, including PRAM zaps, kext.cache trashings, router resets, encryption removal, password type changes, and on and on. The following I found on another site, and so far it appears to be THE ONE that has worked for me (knock on wood). IT IS VERY SIMPLE and I have no idea why it works, that's for the engineers and Apple to explain. I should add that in my case I am connecting to a third-party plain generic .11g router.
What you're going to do is TURN OFF IPv6. (If there's a penalty for doing this, I haven't noticed it, and it's far better than losing the connection all the time.
You go into your network pane of system prefs. and for the configuration that you're (trying) to use you look for where you can configure IPv6. Under Leopard it is harder to find, first you hit "advanced…" and then you choose the TCP/IP panel. It will show "configure IPv6" probably set to "automatically", the other choices are "Manually" and "Off". Set it to OFF. Once you hit OK, the change is NOT YET saved. "OK" will take you back to the previous panel where YOU STILL have to hit the APPLY button.
If you're superstitious you might as well save all and throw in a restart with a PRAM zap for good luck.
This is not my solution. A guy named JP posted it to a thread somewhere else. Here's the part of what he said that matters: " I also was getting frustrated and going out of my mind with my wifi dropping every 30 to 60 seconds, I reverted to what I learned in networking throughout my education, and I simply turned off IPV6 in my network settings, and VOILA, I have not dropped since, and I go from network to network. To disable IPV6, go to you airport settings,Open Network settings,Advanced,TCP/IP, and there you can simply disable IPV6, this is a quick fix that allows you to stay connected without getting booted, without having to modify anything,and if an update does finally become available, you have nothing to try to figure out, just install it."
Seems to have worked like a charm for me.

I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
Did you ever find anything more to this?

Power Manager and Access Connections crash, neither help nor solution from Lenovo!?!

Hello
I've already posted here on the forum several weeks ago about the obvious problem that Lenovo has with the latest version of the Power Manager and the Access Connections which both crash either on startup or while tryibg to open it.
So far there has been neither an update, nor a solution nor an official statement from Lenovo about that problem that consists rightnow for over two month!
When searching the forum I see the same all over again: Unanswered threads, solutions that don't solve anything at all and so on...
And just if someone here comes up with comments like:
"work's here" or "just rollback to the old version", what is the point of writing software that doesn't work?? And why not giving ANY SUPPORT AT ALL???!!!
I really would at least like to see an official statement saying "we work on it". After buying one of the most expensive notebooks on the market (and in my opinion still one of the best) hat would be the least one could expect form a "award wining" company like Lenovo...

Hello, I am a Help Desk Consultant at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and currently, we've had many problems with access connections, 4965 agn wireless card, and its drivers.
Symptoms:
1) Wireless card is detected my windows device manager
2) Wireless card is NOT detected by access connections, intel wireless utilities/tests/etc
Other related information:
1) Events with ID 7036 + source: NETw#v## (the # stand for numbers, I can't quiet remember which ones but the one after the v is a 5
2) Rollback driver is NEVER an abailable option
3) Every failure case with same symptoms came in starting mid September
4) If you select "show hidden devices" in device manager, there is a huge number of devices, most of which seem to be repeats
After many hours of debugging and fustrated complaints, I have determined that it could be one of many problems:
1) Teredo tunnelling: Apparently, atheros/intel/access connections won't find the wireless card if teredo has been enabled or something
2) Power management: A default setting is "let windows turn the wireless off it there's not enough power" in wireless properties>configure>power management
3) Driver update combination conflict: between a update on 9/21 and present time, there's something horribly gone wrong
If anyone has a definitie solution to this, please post.
