Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.
Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Style Sheet:
Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:
Preview. Try Preview > Preferences > PDF > Smooth text and line art (uncheck)

Various disk actions ask for the PW to my encrypted disk image, even though I'm not accessing this. Help

I have a small portion of hy hard drive set aside as an encrypted disk image. Since installing OSX Lion, various actions that dont require access to that disk image (printing to PDF, opening Aperture) ask for the password, and wont do anything til I provide that password. Has anyone else run into this, or more importantly, found a solution?
Thanks
Ted

How to get lightroom3 to download raw files from Canon 70D even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5

I have a Canon 70D and my old lightroom3 will not download raw files even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5 on my iMac. how can I overcome this problem?

I was being lazy and hoping that Adobe might have created some sort of patch which would allow me to import directly from my camera to lightroom
Neither Adobe, nor any other company that produces a Raw converter, ever retrospectively adds new camera support to old (obsolete) versions of their software.

I just bought a new iMac and am new to the desktop Mac. I read you can get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you bought your computer after June 11,2012. Do I have to do something before Mountain Lion is released? If so what?

1.burned a hole in my screen can I get this repaired? 2. Even though I have it set to open up to a blank screen, no web pages, my computer (safari) continuously opens with multiple safari sites open. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, it just reverts

1. I burned a small hole in my screen, is that fixable/replaceable? 2. Even though I have my 15" MacBook Pro set to open to empty screen when I open Safari, it constantly opens multiple previous pages. It doesn't seem to matter what I do it just reverts back to opening multiple pages. Major security risk, my bank pages have popped back up after my computer has been shut down, account numbers and all. I took my computer to an Apple store and the genious there tols me... "honey, you can't hold your laptop on your lap, that's the problem, it's getting too hot" he honestly said that. Could someone please help me? Thanks

Apple doesn't call its portable machines 'notebooks' instead of 'laptops' for nothing - using a MacBook Pro in your lap can cause some burns on your skin, poor ventilation, etc. So use it on a hard flat surface - not your lap, pillows, bedclothes, etc.
As for burning a hole in your screen, you'll have to revisit the Apple Store and see how much they would charge for a new screen. It's likely to be a bit expensive.
And if you've Safari set to re-open tabs when you restart, you can disable this feature -> Safari-Preferences-General.
Good luck,

"Startup Disk is Full" even though I have 3.5 GB free

I just upgraded my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB yesterday (2 x 2GB Kingston DDR2), and today I'm getting a message that my "startup disk is full," even though I have 3.5 GB of space on my hard drive.
I've gotten this message in the past when I only have 100 or 50 MB left on my hard drive, but 3.5 GB of space seems like a lot of room to be getting the "startup disk is full" error.
I know I'm supposed to have 10% of my hard drive free for optimal usage, but I'm wondering whether this error message is an indication that the RAM isn't working the way it's supposed to.
Also, the other thing I noticed acting funny since the RAM got installed was shutdown problems. Today I had to hold down the power button to shut down, since doing it via the finder window was not working.
Thanks in advance for any ideas and tips!

Hi Markus,
The sleepimage file is from Safe Sleep. This saves the contents of RAM to the HD each time Mac is put to sleep in case of a "mishap" so that data would be saved. As you've discovered, it can take up a bit of HD space (as much RAM as you have installed). Thus, I've disabled Safe Sleep and trashed that file. Sleep is now faster too. If you care to do this, here are my directions:
Safe Sleep: How to Disable
Safe sleep copies the content of RAM onto the HD prior to sleep, so it can cause very slow go-to-sleep performance (slow), and sometimes additional issues.
To disable Safe Sleep:
Open Terminal.
Copy and paste in the following two commands:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0  
sudo nvram "use-nvramrc?"=false  
Hit return.
When Terminal is finished doing its thing, type in
Exit
hit return, and quit Terminal.
If you do decide to disable Safe Sleep, there’s also a file you can get rid of to save some space on your HD (this file can be as large as the amount of RAM you have installed, probably 2-4GB for the average Mac).
From the Finder (just click once anywhere on a bare Desktop area to make the correct menu bar appear).
Click on the Go menu and select Go to Folder.
Copy and paste or enter the following in the “Go to the Folder:” field.
/var/vm
Trash the file named “sleepimage.” (Do NOT trash the file named “swapfiles.”)
Close the windows, empty the trash, and you should have faster sleeping and a bit more free HD space.

I have a Mac and even though Flash (11.something) says it's installed, I still get messages (FB, youtube, pandora) saying I need the latest version (10 something). I have it!

I have a Mac and even though Flash (11.something) says it's installed, I still get messages (FB, youtube, pandora) saying I need the latest version (10 something). I have it!

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages! Help!

Take us through this in more detail.
What is the Word file? From a PC?
What version of Word and what is the file extension?
What is it about the text that is different?
When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?

Window 8.1 Chinese character cannot display properly in a game even though I have downloaded and install all chinese language packs

Hi,
The operation system for my computer is Window 8.1. I am currently trying to install a chinese game. Even though I have downloaded and install all the chinese language pack, I have even set the regional language locale to chinese (similified / traditional),
the chinese characters will not display properly in the game. Some people told me i need to set the locale to Chinese PRC, but I am not sure where to download this PRC language pack for window 8.1 (as I only have chinese simplified and chinese traditional).
I would greatly appreciate if someone can give me a hand in solving this problem. Thank you for your help in advance.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.
