Exception in preferences window

JDev Team,
First of all, congrats for a new release. Great job. The following error is displayed when I select "Tools -> Preferences -> JSP and HTML visual Editior -> Invisible Elements". The same error is also thrown in TP2. Is there any configuration setting that I am missing or is this a bug? Please let me know.
Thanks
Bala.

Blank white System Preferences window

Hello all,
I purchased a secondhand G5 for the purpose of having a second internet station at home (I do most of my work on a late 2008 MBP but we've got multiple people here who like to use the Internet at the same time). When I set up this computer, it was hooked up to an old flat screen monitor (bought when they first came out) the HD was wiped clean, Leopard was installed, the internet was set up and working and everything seemed good to go. However, I wanted to get into the system to change the monitor resolution setting since the type/icons were a little big for my taste.
When I pulled up System Preferences, I got a completely blank white window. This happens every time System Prefs is launched. I can click on this window where normally icons would be, and things seem to happen (the window changes size) but it remains completely white. Moreover, all of the pulldown menus from the top menu bar also are blank white. I can move my mouse down in the File menu where Quit would normally be, and I can click on it and System Preferences quits. If I quit out of System Prefs, the Finder and other software windows act normally. When I log into System Prefs again, same blank white window, same problem.
This blank white window thing also happens with Preview, but I have not noticed it with any other programs on the system (yet).
Here's what I've done to troubleshoot:
Discarded appropriate systempreferences.plist file in the User>Library>Preferences window, also appropriate file in User>Library>Caches. Emptied trash and rebooted. Same problem.
Reinstalled Leopard, 10.5. Tested, same problem. Upgraded with combo pack to 10.5.8, tested, same problem.
Swapped out video card for a known working video card, tested, same problem.
Swapped monitor for known working new monitor, tested, same problem.
Am I missing some other .plist or similar file that should be discarded? Has anyone experienced anything like this and been able to solve it? Would this be due to software issues, or some kind of hardware issue? Because I can't see System Preferences, I can't create a new user account and discard the old one to try and resolve any software issues, my only choice is to do a clean install (which I have done to no avail).
Help? I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance.
Raji

Well, at least we are seeing some light here. I forgot about Safe Mode! When I started up into that, I can see the System Preferences windows just fine... it's no longer white, and I can select what I need and make changes.
However, I have done permissions repair from every possible angle (both from HD and DVD), I have reset the PRAM, and I still get a blank Sys Prefs window on normal startup.
The only thing suggested here I have not tried is replacing the PRAM battery (since at the moment, I don't have one). That will be the next angle of attack but I'll have to wait to get one in.
Other than the battery, could this be some kind of peripheral or software conflict?
This is bugging me! I mean really.... it's just an Internet station, but one does want things to work properly nonetheless!
Thanks for the help so far.... ! It has been useful.

How do I fix that at startup, restart Mavericks 10.9.2 always opens the system preference window?

How do I fix that at startup, restart Mavericks 10.9.2 always opens the system preference window?
It is not listed in Login items. I tried all the usual fixes plus Diskwarrior rebuild.
W.W.

I suggest deleting the Canon Network Scanner from Login Items to determine if that is the cause. Not knowing exactly what it does, I suspect it is intended to monitor the printer's supply levels all the time. It's not necessary to do that. You can always determine the printer's ink supply level every time you print something, when its Print dialog appears. You can also check its supply levels by opening System Preferences on your own, and selecting Printers & Scanners.
Bear in mind Login Items is simply a convenience that loads the programs you specify every time you log in. That feature is less important as it had been in the past since Mavericks will re-open everything that was open when you last logged out, if you select this checkbox:
If you want to add the Adobe programs to Login Items again, search for them using Spotlight. The Adobe programs themselves should not be causing this behavior.

Preferences windows doesn't fit on netbook screen

I'm a satisfied netbook user since more that 6 months, I've noticed that several applications are still using windows dimensions way too big for our little 1024x600px screens. The same happens with Adobe Reader and his preferences window.
Hope Adobe will fix this in a later release

Creating a preferences window

Hi
I wonder if there is any way to create in Director a
preferences window (see example below).
http://www.guide.lancs.ac.uk/tellguidemyname.html
In particular what i would like to do is to allow my users to
select the things they want to select from the preferences window
and then when press save to get the appropriate movie.
If the user selects the language of the system to be English
then play movie English otherwise
if the user selects the language of the system to be Greek
then play Greek movie
and
If the user selects architecture + maritime related
information to play movie A (that contains the relevant content)
otherwise if the user selects History and architecture then
play movie B (that contains the relevant content)
I would also like to record the preferences selected in some
kind of text file that would tell what the user selected. Is there
any way to do that?
All ideas will be appriciated
Many thanks

I don’t have a simple dir I can post but Buddy
API’s help file has some code snippets that make good
examples. If you have trouble getting started let me know. What I
can post are some examples of how to use my scripts to code the ini
data, keep in mind that you only need to code the data if you are
allowing the users to type text strings to be stored in the ini
file, if all of your data is generated by lingo you can make sure
the data is ini safe yourself without having to code it first.
First the scripts, copy and save in a movie script cast
member:
on codeIniData cMode, iniString
case cMode of
"read" :
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"¬","=")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"¶",RETURN)
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"µ",";")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"§","#")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"«","[")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"»","]")
"write" :
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"=","¬")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,RETURN,"¶")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,numToChar(10),"¶")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,";","µ")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"#","§")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"[","«")
iniString = replaceField(iniString,"]","»")
otherwise : alert "Unknown mode in codeIniData."
end case
return iniString
end
on replaceField input, stringToFind, stringToInsert
output = ""
findLen = stringToFind.length - 1
repeat while input contains stringToFind
currOffset = offset(stringToFind, input)
output = output & input.char [1..currOffset]
delete the last char of output
output = output & stringToInsert
delete input.char [1.. (currOffset + findLen)]
end repeat
set output = output & input
return output
end
OK, lets say you create the following ini file using notepad
and save it with the name “foodPrefs.ini” in the same
folder as your dir movie:
[breakfast]
sue=coffee
bill=bagel
tom=eggs
[lunch]
sue=Chicken McNuggets
bill=Quarter Pounder with cheese
tom=Fries
If you want to read Bill’s lunch preference into
Director simply use the following:
myIniPath = _movie.path & " foodPrefs.ini"
billsLunch =
codeIniData("read",baReadIni("lunch","bill","Error",myIniPath))
if billsLunch = "Error" then alert "Error reading settings
file."
If you have an editable text cast member with the name
"suesBreakfast" and ask sue to type her breakfast order, to save
that order do the following:
myIniPath = _movie.path & " foodPrefs.ini"
suesOrder = codeIniData("write",member("suesBreakfast").text)
resultCode =
baWriteIni("breakfast","sue",suesOrder,myIniPath)
if not resultCode then alert "Error writing settings file."
The most common reason for getting the alert when reading or
writing to the ini file is either an error in your path or having
the ini file open in notepad at the same time Buddy API is trying
to access it. For best results quit notepad before testing.
Storing the contents of an editable text cast member is an
example of why you want to code the ini data. It is possible,
although unlikely, that the user will type characters that have
special meaning in an ini file, I simply temporarily replace those
characters with others that are impossible to type (well, not
really impossible, but very unlikely).
If you are curious, numToChar(10) is the linefeed character
which I replace with a standard RETURN. The most likely reason to
encounter a LF is because the user copied and pasted the text from
another source. Director doesn’t display LF’s in
strings, so replacing it with a RETURN keeps the formatting looking
like the original.

PS CC 2014 Actions launch Preferences Window

I've been using Photoshop Actions for years but recently I've encountered some odd behavior. I made a simple action that removes transparency from a document by executing the Trim command. The last part of the action then saves the changes and closes the PSD file. It worked great until today.
Here are the steps I'm performing:
While I'm in Bridge, I select all my files in the current folder, I initiate this Action from Tools \ Photoshop \ Batch. This switches me over to PS with the Batch window open. From there, I can choose the action from the drop down list and run it.
The action runs its course on the selected files with no issues the first time around.
However, if I try to run the action again on files in a different folder (from Bridge), I keep getting the Preferences Units & Rulers window launches each time the file loads. I have to sit there and press the Escape key each time in order for the action to complete.
I tried to duplicate the behavior by stepping through the Action manually in order to pinpoint which step is the culprit, but the Preferences window doesn't load. It only does it when the Action runs on its own.
Anyone know why this would happen?

If you create an action set with just the one action and save the set upload the uploade it to the web and post a link to the .atn file we can download the action and test that on our machines. You will get feedback from both Mac and PC users. It sound odd that it would work once then fail the second time. Was Photoshop CC 2014 up before you used bridge menu tools>photoshop>batch the first time or was Photoshop started because you used tools>photoshop>batch. If is was not up did you try closing PS down before the second batch?

Still No Preferences Window in 1.1

Ok, so I had and read about the problem with the 1.01 update, the preference window won't open, wether you choose it from the menu or shortcut. So I went back to version 1.0. When I heard about 1.1 I eagerly awaited hoping this would be resolved. After the 1.1 update I still can't open my preferences window. And when I quit Aperture, the application quits, but I get that window that says "The application Aperture has quit unexpectedly". Does anyone know whats up with the updates and the preferences window? I'm real close to swithing back to iPhoto.
PowerBook G4, 10Gb iPod Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1 Gb RAM

Hi,
Have you tried doing a clean install? Here are some things to try:
Cleaning Aperture off system:
Here are the things to delete manually:
1. Main Hard Drive>Library>Application Support>ProApps>Aperture System ID - (this will delete your serial number).
2. User's drive (Home)>Pictures>Aperture Library - (NOTE: Only delete if you want to start with a clean Library. You can always rename it or copy somewhere to launch a new library)
3. User's drive (Home)>Library>Application Support>Aperture - (Delete entire folder. This will get rid of your presets and keywords)
4. User's drive (Home)>Library>Caches>Aperture - (Delete entire folder)
5. User's drive (Home)>Library>Preferences>com.apple.Aperture.plist - (This is your general Preferences. I'd try this one first)

Preferences window always opens after boot.

After working on my new iMac for a couple of days, I now notice that every time I switch on the Mac, when it presents the desktop, it always opens the preferences window.
This doesn't happen after the Mac is simply woken from sleep.
It's not a big deal, but maybe it's an indication that something needs my attention.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob, you'll love your Mac even more the better you get to know it. And if you have any issues just post them. There are lot's of knowledgeable people in these forums who can help you.
Have fun!

A blank square appears at the top left corner of my screen after close the preferences window in Mac OS X

Whenever I open the preferences window and close, a blank square of 120px (aprox) appears at the top left corner of the screen. The square doesn't dissapear untill I exit from Firefox and reopen it.

Preferences window won't close in Mail 2.0.7

I've been annoyed that any time I open the Preferences window in Mail (to change account settings, rules, or whatever), it will not close. It doesn't respond to the close box being clicked, nor the Close Window command. I'm using OS X 10.4.6 on a DP2.0 G5. I'm sure that the solution is to just delete one of the plist files, but I don't want to delete the wrong one because that could mess up my settings. Anyone know what the fix is for this problem?

Hi
If you have MailTags 1.2 installed, there was an issue that prevented the pref window from closing. You should update MailTag 1.2 to 1.2.1 to resolve this and several other issues in 1.2

Running Batch Actions in Bridge causes PS's Preferences window to open repeatedly

I just upgraded to CC at work, and ever since I've had a problem when I batch run Photoshop Actions from Bridge.
I have some simple Actions set up in PS to do some conversions for large batches of images (convert to RGB, resize, change DPI, etc.). But when I run them from Bridge like I always have, it causes Photoshop to open the Preferences window to the "Units & Rulers" tab. And that, unfortunately, pauses the batch conversion until I close the Preferences window. This happens at least once per file, but usually twice. Pretty annoying.
I never had this problem when I was using CS6, but just in case there was some sort of incompatibility with my old Actions, I remade one of them in CC, but the Preferences window still pops up.
This only happens when I run Batch Actions from Bridge. When I run the Action on a single file from PS, it works fine.
Any ideas? Maybe I've found a new bug?
Thanks!

BTW, I was able to get around this problem by opening all the files I wanted to run the Action on using Bridge, then manually triggering the Batch dialog via Photoshop and using the 'Source: Opened Files' option:
Using this system, I didn't get any errors. Luckily, I also didn't have a huge number of files. If I did, I'd probably have to copy them all into a temp folder using Bridge, then run using 'Source: Folder'. Definitely a pain when they are all right there in Bridge ready to be batched.

How did I get duplicate (as in 2) System Preferences windows?

Greetings ACS Fellows,
As a loyal and faithful Mac user who has used Macs for many a year, how can it be possible that I have right now - upon the iMac desktop of yours truly - running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 albeit in 64-bit mode; two, count em', two System Preferences windows? I've stumbled upon many strange things in my time, but this one has me absolutely befuddled
Thanks in Advance,
mm~

I was able to do this on my 10.5 system, but not on my Mavericks system, so there are changes somewhere along the way.
Launch System Preferences (that is 1 copy).
From an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session enter the command:
/Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences
and you will have a 2nd copy.
What a 3rd? Just issue the Terminal command again.
How you managed to do it, I do not know, but the System Preferences app will allow multiple instances of the app to run concurrently.
Again, by the time Mavericks was released, something was changed, and only 1 copy can be run. The above trick will not work on Mavericks.

Systems preference window

Why is the systems preference window blank - as well as all the pull downs?

Hello Susan,
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
