Dialog boxes come up missing data, blanks where options should be.

Adobe Reader 10.1.0
Problem just started, when I bring up a dialog box to print or set preferences, the box comes up but all of the text normally in place is missing. I get the box, but the drop down boxes are empty as are all the page selection boxes and anything else.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, but problem still there.

Here we are in 2013 and this problem is still happening. You would think that in the course of two years Adobe would have figured out how to prevent this from happening. I am having the same problem when trying to print from IE8 in Win XP.
It turns out, that for me, this issue was caused by Windows Update KB2753842. Simply uninstalling this update using the Add/Remove Programs i the Control Panel fixed everything for me.

Print dialog box comes up after 30 sec delay-why?

Hi,
I am in Ai CS4. The first file I open, when I go to print it takes just over 30 secs for the print dialog box to come up. The next time I print, no problem, pops up right away. All subsequent file print dialog boxes come up immediately. Quit Illustrator and it starts all over again. Rebuilt permissions, then rebuilt from startup disk, trashed preferences. Tried changing default printer. Nothing seems to solve this. Mac Quad-Core Intel Xeon, OSX 10.6.3
Any ideas out there?
Thanks
Marcia

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Appreciate your assistance!

I know you are on a Mac, but on windows a similar problem and even a crash can
occur when your default printer spooling service is set to manual instead of
auto.
Either set your default printer to a virtual printer like "Adobe PDF" or go
into the printer settings and set spooling to automatic.

Try to download your MobileMe galleries directly from the Internet:
Go to the System/MobileMe preference pane
Press the button,Visit me.com,
this will bring you to your MMe galleries and you can download the photos from there.
Usually this direct way will be faster.
To be able to use Aperture again, don't press the ok. button, when the MM panel appears, but the "learn more". then you can open the "File" menu in Aperture and use the "Web Accounts" menu entry to "Edit Web accounts" and disable MobileMe in Aperture by deleting it from the accounts list.

I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

# Question
I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

Best Way to Pop-Up Dialog Box Based on Form Data

Hi,
I'm using InfoPath 2010 to create a submission form in SharePoint 2010. During the form submission process I'd like to pop up a dialog box if the difference between today's date and the service request date (which is provided by the user) is less than
7 days. The user only has to acknowledge the dialog box. What is the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
What is the kind of your form : InfoPath (with InfoPath client on the machine) or InfoPath Form Services (web browser)?
Is this is a an InfoPath form, you can add an action on a button of type "Show message". You can add too a condition on this.
If you use InfoPath Form Services, there is two solution:
- Use managed code to call an alert javascript where you respect your condition,
- Create a new InfoPath View with the message and add an action "swith view" when you click on the button if you respect your condition.
Hope this help.
HI! Could you clarify please, how the 'Switch view' action could be called? I don't see such an option within Rules setup at Infopath 2010.

I have one song from an album that I bought at itunes that won't play. Instead a dialog box comes up saying this computer is not authorized. When I put in my apple id and password, it says this computer is already authorized. How do I get this fixed?

This album is American Idol Top 4 Season 12 - the song that brings up the dialog box is Emotion by Candice Glover.
Is there a way to redown load the album with out repaying? Is that the best fix??
Thanks,
Scott

Delete the problem track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Upon install the new version of Firefox with AOL, a dialog box comes up with no words and firefox is unresponsive

As I try to close, a dialog box suggests that Firefox is waiting for a response. This problem started happening when you added AOL to the install. I already use AOL and I assume there is some sort of conflict. I want a Firefox without AOL. That will likely solve my problem.

I think it is a problem with an AOL add-on.Could you try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode as a test, and also see whether it can be removed there?
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when launching Firefox.
''If Firefox is running and you can access the menu:'' Either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and give Firefox the OK to restart.
''Both Scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Print dialog box code with scale to paper size option

Can anyone tell about the java code that can be used to generate a print dialog box with "Scale to paper size" option.

manual wrote:
The path given does not match my installation (i.e. no "Xtras" folder).
The 'Xtras' folder has nothing to do with Adobe Reader (nor Acrobat); that is part of Shockwave Player.

Open/Save File Dialog Box comes up, then does not respond for a long time or not at all

I will click a link for a download and the box will pop up saying
"You have chosen to open "blahblah.blah.blah
Which is a: blah file
From: www.randomsite.com
What should Firefox do with this file?
Open with
Save File"
At this point other than being able to see the box, it is as though it doesn't exist. I can't click okay or cancel or choose what to do. Sometimes after a few minutes it will suddenly work, other times it will just remain until Firefox closes.

You can also try to clean install the new version after deleting the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Profile Folder] as well as the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation Folder.] Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s this] for backing up important info. The '''places.sqlite''' file stores the bookmarks and history, the '''key3.db''' + '''siqnons.sqlite''' files are needed to successfully restore the saved passwords etc.

Can someone suggest how on earth I can fix this or stop it happening. I'm about to throw my Mac out a window!!!
G5 Dual 2.5, 20 Apple Monitor Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I found the answer myself - see this other thread I started to find out the cause. In short though, Spotlight itself is corrupt and was causing me no end of headaches so I disabled it using "spotless" a utility for just that purpose.

When clicking loading FireFox the profiles box comes up but it blank, no profiles are loading, how do I get profile manager to load the profiles?

Profile manager loads up but the window is now blank. I have checked in the profiles folder and the profiles exist but I can not get them to load. What do I need to do to make profile manager load the profiles? Thanks.

Is this a new installation of Firefox you're running for the first time, or have you been running Firefox for a while?
Are you using the "built in" profile manager (firefox.exe /profilemanager) or the new "stand alone" profile manager?
If you look in this folder:
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
do you have a file named profiles.ini? It's a text file that usually has information for each of the profile folders in the Profiles subdirectory.

Missing Data Cleanse package option in Data services Repository Manager

Hello, I am trying to create a repository for data cleansing package repository in database using Repository Manager, but the drop down list box is not giving an option "Data Cleansing" to create repository. Only three values are available (Local,CEntral, and Profile).
Using Data Services 3.0 Version. Any help or any workarounds creating a repository with our Repository Manager.
Thanks,
Kiran

We searched log files and found no errors.
We then decided to attempt re-creating the local repository. We checked the Show Details box.
The local repository was reported has having been successfully created. This was the result we had before.
We then checked for canned functions and the list matched to those of our Oracle and SQL Server local repositories.
So, best guess is that something went wrong on the initial local repository creation that was either not reported or reported, but we missed.

Blanks where thumbs should be

My dad's iPhoto (on an eMac, Tiger 10.4) won't show his photos in iPhoto--he just gets blank blue squares where the thumbs should be. We did recently back up his internal drive to an external one, and his photo library just passed the 10,000 images mark, if either of those are relevent.
Thank you for any help!

I thought he might have let go too soon! But I tried it, to no avail. Actually, it's not blue squares that appear, but the "shadows" "behind" the thumbnails. And the file names are there--just no actual images. And the iPhoto library (even rebuilt) is something like 350 MB.
It's a mystery--though less pressing, now that we've confirmed an intact library on his backup drive. . . .

Dialog boxes come up missing data, blanks where options should be.
