F4 (dashboard) now loads Luacher

I just updated to osx 10.8.3 and my dashboard button (f4) on the kayboard now loads the app launcher. I have checked every single setting for the keyboard to change F4 back, and it says it should work. (Note that Fn F4 brings up the dashboard, but it's a bit more of a hassle to go from using 1 button to get where I need to go to pressing 2 buttons... especially as I don't USE the app launcher)
Does anyone has any ideas on how to fix this? Or am I missing something? All my other F-buttons work just like their default icons on them say, except F4.
As I use dashboard for calculators and notes it would be extremely helpful to get this functionality back. Any help is greatly appreciated!

the app Function Flip did the job.

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored and updated firmware, deleted the account, anything I could think of, but it's just not accurately downloading the most recent emails.

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

Just moved to ISP PLUSNET and now loading web pages is dead slow

Just moved to ISP PLUSNET and now loading web pages is dead slow.
Like loading google will sometimes take 30 seconds to 1 minute but it used to load in a fraction of a second on my previous ISP.
Sometimes a new URL will take over a minute so I hit Stop Loading This Page and then try again and sometimes it might load instantly, or if not, it might continue to just drag on again.
It's so frustrating it's like being back on dial-up connection - but worse.
It feels like PLUSNET have put something on my Mac to slow it down.
PLUSNET has a restriction on how much I can use per month, which my previous ISP did not have, but according to PLUSNET's usage checker I am nowhere near the max, ie, I am allowed 10GB per month but the checker is showing I have used less than 100 MB so far this month.
I wonder if the PLUSNET usage checker is slowing down my usage coz it's really noticeable that it has only started to run slow since I moved to PLUSNET.
When I run a broadband speed check it always shows the feed coming in at around 5500 kbps or so which should be OK.
PLUSNET told me to go through their test page and I got to the part where it says install a Virus checker and an Adware checker but I'm not sure which ones to use coz I heard some of those checkers are themselves plants that infect you with a virus or keystroke logger.
Also I have Block Pop UP Windows running on Safari but yesterday a window popped up so that blocker seems to have been compromised somehow.
I have 17GB available on my HD of a total of 38GB.
Can anyone help me with this problem please?

(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit.)
Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
More useful information here:
http://guides.macrumors.com/SpeedupSafari
Less likely, but possible, is that the slowness is caused by a Trojan such as the one called 'DNSChanger' or 'OSZ.RSPlug', which can alter the DNS settings of your network connection. This particular Trojan can be inadvertently installed if you have come across certain Quicktime movies where got a window stating that you have to download and install a particular codec in order to see the video.
If you have agreed to that installation, your system can be infected and your DNS settings altered, which results in your system using the wrong DNS servers, which can slow web surfing to a crawl.
This can be fixed by downloading and running a freeware utility called DNSChanger Removal Tool which you can download from here:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33696
Once you have run that utility you have to re-boot your Mac, then reset Safari, and re-enter your DNS settings in System Preferences/Network.

For some reason, photos taken on my iPhone did not transfer to my iPad. Apple could not help. So I have now loaded the photos from my iPhone onto my laptop, but still cannot transfer them to the iPad. Any ideas please?

I just had this problem as well and spent quite a bit of time reviewing all of the suggestions/ideas/comments, and since I am not that tech-savy I remembered this "suggestion" from the UK show The "IT Crowd" which was "Have you tried turning it off and on again??" (both devices)

Why is page in Dashboard now displaying a different website? Hijacked?

I've been using the feature to display webpages in Dashboard, however one of these widigts is now displaying a completely different website (one i have NEVER visited). When i click on it the amazon page displays for a split second, then it defaults back to the anomalous page - as far as i can see a company called network solutions that says if i do not own the domain name, do i want to backorder it !?

There might be images and content on silkenfest.com which are stored on webpagescreenshot.info, so it needs to connect to silkenfest along with the other website in order to load the main website and its images. silkenfest.com is just a slow website and it probably has nothing to do with webpagescreenshot.info. The same thing appears on my screen when I load the website. When you visit websites, a lot of other websites actually load in the background. For example, if you visited YouTube.com, it would also connect to ytimg.com to load the video thumbnails since they are stored on there and google.com because YouTube uses Google Accounts.

Dashboard wont load and cpu running at 60% with nothing open

Hi
Dasboard wont load suddenly and the cpu is running at 60% with nothing open.

Had look at that site and i couldnt find this process on their list.
kernel_task
it has no process id, the user is root 1.2 52 140.00 MB 291.38 MB Intel
That's the main part of OSX (it does have a process id: zero). It always runs, and directly or indirectly starts & controls everything else. (I never noticed it's not listed on that site.)
also not listed on the site
#122 iavd root 98.9 5 16.29 MB 604.24 MB Intel
Google says it's part of iAntiVirus. I'd recommend uninstalling it; there are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero. There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt). For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].

It sounds like you have an old PPC version of Safari, running under Rosetta. Did you transfer from a PPC Mac and somehow brought over an old version?
Make sure there's only one version on your Mac; there might be an older one in a sub-folder inside your Applications folder, or in a user home folder.

The console dashboard remains blank as per screenshot below. this happens on two seperate management groups on my machine. however, a third seperate environment renders absolutely fine.
However If I use a jumpoff windows 2012 server with the console installed, everything works fine on all three MGs.
I have tried repairing .Net as recommended in this post
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/systemcenter/en-US/e329b91b-cdf0-453e-ad77-900c30ddfc2b/all-scom-dashboard-views-are-blank
And I have also run the VSAE repair tool without fixing the error.
Has anyone else come across this? What could be the cause? I cannot pinpoint a single point of failure as the dashboards render OK via Server 2012 console, and one Management group renders OK from my win 7 machine.
its infuriating!

Hi,
Make sure that your Windows 7 has Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 hotfix installed.
Please try to remove the console and then reinstall it following the below link:

OBIEE 11g Dashboard page load performance issue

Hi All,
One of my dashboard is taking for 5 to 15 min to load,Once the dashboard is displayed reports are coming fast. Dashboard has 5 pages.
Eg:
When I click on Dashboard -> XXXX Dashboard. It took 5 to 15 min to display the dashboard page. Reports are coming fast once the page is loaded.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Hari

Cool,
Thank you for sharing the opinions of you.
My English i'snt so good. May not have expressed myself correctly.
In response to my post, I said that "OTHER" point which should also be evaluated is the environment you are using. not that this point is paramount.
Since the OBIEE is generated queries, the evaluation of queries generated and sent the data sources for sure should be evaluated.
thank you guys

It works!!! ITunes is now loaded! For "...Encountered a problem" errors

After 4 days of working on this non stop, I have finally got it! Thanks to all of you posting the wonderful tips!
I will tell you what I did. I am not sure which of these steps was the trick, since I did this so many times. But there are two things that I did differently this last time, which I mention below. I think those did the trick!
1) Under "Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows" on Apple Support for iTunes (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976) do ALL of the steps under "Completely Remove iTunes and QuickTime". Please note: For step #16, when it talks about removing files in C:/Windows/System32, make sure you remove folders AND files. The first time I did this, I only removed the Itunes, Ipod and Quicktime folders. I did not scroll all the way down to just the independent files, there were a few more Quicktime files there.
2) Additionally, I went to My Computer, and went under C:/Program files and deleted the folders there too.
3) (optional?) I wanted to at least get one program working right first (neither my iTunes or QT were working, I was getting the error "iTunes/Quicktime has encountered a problem..." So after I completed the above steps, I went to this site and downloaded QT by itself first, and made sure it was working properly before I proceeded. This may have had nothing to do with it, but wanted to share my exact steps that I did.
4) Downloaded iTunes + Quicktime again. I THINK THIS NEXT PART WAS WHAT DID IT: This worked for someone else yesterday who posted it, so I tried this too. I think that, for whatever reason, this was a key. When you get to the part where it asks you what folder to load it into, instead of defaulting into C:/Program Files/iTunes, I installed it directly onto C. So, that would be C:/iTunes. I did the same for QT on step #3 above.
It now works, and my 10 yr old is a happy camper, and I get to tackle something else tomorrow, since I have spent 4 days on this! Thank you so much to all of you who posted tips to help!

See my post on 12/27 entitled "It works!..." for a detailed description on the fix.

Old third-party tool causing edit properties form to now load properly.

When our environment was SharePoint 2007 we had a third party tool that was used for indexing documents. Because of this it had a custom form to edit the properties of a list item or document. This add-on was removed from all of the sites prior
to upgrade to SharePoint 2013 - except for one that was overlooked.
Now when someone attempts to edit an item they are created with an error. I've tracked it back to trying to load this custom form to edit the properties and obviously that add-on isn't there any longer.
Does anyone have any suggestions to reset the edit properties form to the SharePoint default? It's not terribly convenient to recreate this list so I'd love to be able to make the change in-place as opposed to starting from the 2007 backup.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi Troy,
For resetting customized list forms from InfoPath forms back to default forms , you can take steps as below:
1.Located the list in question and use the ribbon to select List > List Settings.
2.On the List Settings page, select “Form settings” under “General Settings“.
3.Change the Form Option from “Modify the existing InfoPath form” to “Use the default SharePoint form“. If you want to completely remove the form, also check “Delete the InfoPath Form from the server“.
