Dock and other smooth transitions are sticking or "shaking"

Just got a new 15 inch Retina MBP and so far the experience has been extremely positive. The only problem I'm having are that transitions that should usually be smooth are sticking and shaking back and forth. The dock, for example, comes up smoothly, jumps to about half and then comes fully up again. The same thing happens when it moves back down. Similar things are happening when apps transition to full screen, or when I scroll through websites. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have exactly the same problem and your clue worked for me too...
I've opened AutoCAD, closed and the "shaking"/"jittering" in the dock and transitions disappeared.
It looks like when the intel "GPU" works it has shaking/jittering effect and when device switches to nVidia it resolves the problem.
Hope Apple Support team can reproduce and debug the problem and make the patch.
Regards,
Daniil

When i click on my launch pad icon on the dock, and it opens, there are no photo icons only words!! Any body know how to get picture icons back ???

When i click into my launchpad on my dock, and it opens, there are currently no picture icons only words. How do i get my picture icons back?? plase help

This procedure will reset the state of LaunchPad to its default. Any customization that you did will be removed.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Dock
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are one or more files with long names ending in ".db". Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the folder open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put the files you moved back where they were, overwriting the ones that may have been created in their place. Then log in and log out again. Otherwise, delete the files you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. 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 (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space. Can someone please help?

To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte. Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files. If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right. If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

I want to ask about changing perspective and perspective correction in photoshop. Obviously, we can tilt and straighten buildings and other monuments, which are leaning in any direction. Now, what I want to know is whether we can change perspective for human faces. For example, if there is a human face, where one part of the face is facing the camera and the other part of the face is only partially facing the camera, can we make this face look totally at the camera? I mean, look straight in front, and I am talking about the whole face here. I am attaching an image as an example of what I am talking about. @

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

I'm using Mountain Lion, kernel_task and other background service are using an awful lot of my memory my memory.

I'm using Mountain Lion, kernel_task and other background service are using an awful lot of my memory my memory. I can't run any other programs without the beach ball I can hear the hard drive running like crazy in the background.I have 8GB of memory and everything has worked well until recently.
I am sort of new at posting let me know what other info I can provide
Thank you
Howard

I was noticing the same today. I have been running this on my Mac Pro circa early 2008. At the time I notice some sluggish I had three items using over 5 GB of real memory. kernal_task, iTunes, and Safari. I did a formal "quit" for iTunes & Safari which reduced the memory down (iTunes was 1.3GB and Safari was 2.0GB). Here is a screen capture of what is right now. The kernel_task is at 2.01GB.
At time of this screen capture my uptime has been:
up 4 days, 23:37, 2 users, load averages: 1.56 1.70 2.04
The specs of the Mac Pro is with a lot of hard drive space on the boot drive (50% free) which is mostly my main account user data. Applications files and other data is actually on a second drive which is also at 50%. Drive 3 & Drive 4 are RAID 0 used for Time Machine. RAM is 32GB as the picture denotes.
I have a MacBook Pro (circa 2011), iMac 27" i7 (circa 2009), and Mac Mini (circa 2010) which don't have any large kernal memory usage.
Thank you in advance...

4 days ago NBC announced that hackers can intercept email and other communications that are meant to be encrypted. What update fixes this issue?

4 days ago NBC announced that hackers can intercept email and other communications that are meant to be encrypted. What update fixes this issue?

First, I would avoid listening to NBC as a source for tech news. They've proven that they are not a responsible source for that kind of thing. See:
NBC severely overhypes Sochi hacking story
Second, the SSL issue is solved by upgrading to iOS 7.0.6, as Allan points out. Plug in your phone, open the Settings app and go to General, then Software Update. Download and install the update from there. You can also download it on your computer, in iTunes, and install through sync, but that download will be larger, since it's not specific to your device.
Finally, note that you still cannot trust e-mail... anything you put in an e-mail might as well be put on a postcard. SSL encryption only protects the transmission of username and password, when it comes to e-mail... the contents of the messages sent and received are not encrypted, and can be read (or even modified) by anyone between you and the sender/recipient. The only way to protect your e-mail is through some kind of signing and encryption, such as S/MIME.

If possible, connect to your router with Ethernet and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)

"Dock" showing in the dock, and other apps that should normally be hidden

Hi Folks - I used Dockless just to try a few things and it didn't work so well. I unistalled it and now I'm having issues with certain running "subapps" that are normally hidden showing up in the Dock and I can't remove them. Screen shot says it all. But, they are:
-loginwindow
-Dock
-SystemUIServer
-Airport Base Station Agent
-Folder Action Dispatcher
-XMenu
-Caffeine (normally only shows in the toolbar)
I have tried many of the resources I've found online, such as removing com.apple.dock.plist and .dlb which did reset the Dock to default, but these apps were still showing. I have tried to remove them manually by dragging them to the desktop, trash, etc, no luck. I haven't heard back from Dockless yet on this.
Any thing else?

Still no fix. Any ideas?

Plymouth and SDDM smooth transition

Hello guys
I switched my desktop environment and desktop manager to Plasma 5 and SDDM recently. It looks totaly beautiful. While changing my DE and DM I've decied to use Plymouth to complete my new awesome looking desktop . It works very well with paw-arch and my custom written theme. However, I could not find a way to make transition from Plymouth to SDDM smoother.
When Plymouth quits SDDM starts but in the time gap between two processes I'm facing with TTY1 and kernel outputs.
Do you have an idea about wheter there is a way to make this transition smoother?
Thanks for any help
PS: I'm adding my config & service files to help:
mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="i915"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES="setfont"
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
# Diabled usbinput
HOOKS="base udev plymouth autodetect modconf block filesystems fsck keymap consolefont keyboard efistub_copy"

Transitions are sticking

Hey everybody!
I recently purchased a Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital camera. I use it for my film company. I also use Final Cut Pro 7, all on the newest version of an iMac.
I was editing footage (Quicktime Movie format) in FCP7, and after inserting a transition, the footage started to 'stick'. The transition gets about 75% done, and then flashes a quick clip of the previous clip, then keeps going. This happens with any transition on any footage, whether it be on my HD or an external HD. Please help! The mac tech support guy didn't even know.

No disrespect intended, but if you are running a film company, it is imperative to know the difference between an editing codec and a delivery or acquisition codec.
h.264 is not an editing codec, and needs to be converted, either in log and transfer using the Canon EOS plug in, or externally, to an editing codec which should be prores 422 LT.
This will eliminate your sticking transitions.

Two finder icons in my dock and other issues

For some reason, in my dock, two finder icons are appearing. The default finder icon, which is not running and has no white indicator under it, and a default application style icon that launches right after login with the label "Finder" which is basically the finder but launches like a third party application?! When I quit the running finder icon, the finder restarts, so this second icon really is running as the finder!
Also: When i click on the trash it no longer opens, when I try to empty the trash from the dock nothing happens, and (this is the best part) when I click and hold on a stack, and select "Show in finder", Entourage launches and tries to compress that folder in an email message. Super bizarre! Like really bizarre.
Please any help would be great before I do something drastic like archive and install.
I have a screenshot of this but can't seem to post it here.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, burbaget.
Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.5 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
Let us know.

Step into and other debugging items are grayed out in ISE debug menu in PS4.0

hi friends
i don't know why things go wrong for me
it's about 3 hours that i am googling & studying documents on how to use Debugger in PS 4.0 ISE
the problem is i open my script in ISE, but when i open debug menu, step over,
step into, step out, stop debugger and many other items on debug menu in ISE are
gray out.
( my script contains about 20 commands)
i need to run my script in line by line method (step into)
but its gray out :-(
i studies many pages regarding powershell debugger but none of the mentioned first enabling debugger ( i think maybe it's off by default)
am i on the right way ? is debugger feature by default off in PS 4.0 ISE? is this what debugging items are gray out?
i looked for a cmdet to enumerate the current state of ISE debugger (on or off) but unfortunately didn't find anything.
another confusion: is it necessary to run the entire script at least one time so that step into feature be available to use?
is yes, that's too bad. i want first examine my script line by line
any help please
thanks in advanced

Unless you have break points inserted and the script actually running, then those options will be greyed out. You need to first insert your break point, and then run the script. Once the code where the break point is going to be executed, the script
will stop there allowing you to step into or out of

Don't Retire Technet
Hi clayman
thanks for your answer. useful
after examining many different states finally i discovered the Hidden rule which i didn't find this on the net.
the rule is:
when we want to examine our entire script line by line ( step into our script), we must create a line breakpoint on the
first line of the script &
then press F5, now the items on the debug menu are available such as step into
i wrote this for people who encounter such problem but after lots of search on the internet, they find no document describing this
please mark as answer if this helps you

Check printing issue when vendor in Arabic and other in english are used

We are facing a scenario in which when we try to print two checks (one in arabic and the other in english) , the amount in words for english is creating alignment issue . Like 54647.08 in words would be fifty four thousand six hundred fourty seven and eight / hundred of the currency . But it is getting displayed as 'and eight / hundred of the currency fifty four thousand six hundred fourty seven .This issue is coming only when the english check comes after arabic one and not vice-versa and also when the amount in words is bigger (not in case of amounts like 70000 )

Hi
Try to use CALL FUNCTION 'SPELL_AMOUNT' Currecny Key = "USD" irrespective of the currency and then based on the country key or langauge Concatenate the Currency to the SPELL AMOUNT..
