Firefox and Thunderbird creates CGLog files in /tmp on my Mac. It contains a lot of info related to keyboard and mouse (keys, scrolls, clicks!) I am concerned!

These files mostly contains following lines:

--- flushing event log at XXXX.XXXXXXXX ---
432138.5090574 (Firefox): CGSGetNextEventRecordInternal: XXXX.XXXXXX loc (-XXXX, XXXX) conn 0xXXXXX MouseMoved win 0xXXXX (click 1)
and the most scaring:

Why it happens? Is it dangerous? How can I turn it off?
I saw that on the latest Firefox release for Mac and on Firefox ESR 31.2.0 for Mac
I saw that on Thunderbird release for Mac 31.2.0

  • LR4 to PS and back creates extra file?

    I recently updated from LR3 to LR4.  My edit in Photoshop preferences are for a psd.
    When I "edit in Photoshop" using LR4, Lightroom immediately creates a "filename-edit.psd" file.  With LR3, only when I saved from within PS did it create the new file edit.psd file.  I like to keep the option open to use "save as" and save just a jpg if I know this is going to be my final edit and not have a psd.  Now if I save as a jpg, I end up with an extra .psd file.  Is this a change in LR4 or have I not set something that I had set in LR3?

    What PS version?

  • I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

    I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
    P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

    Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
    If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
    If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

    I purchased a used iphone4 and the phone displays the previous owners apple id and prompts me for the previous owners password. how do i get rid of his info....and install my own apple id number?

    Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    ...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
    I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

  • Runtime Server Error in '/' Application and a 'create root file to fix' dunno how to do this.

    For several weeks Firefox crashes when I close it down for the day. Firefox error message box sends crash report. Today I got I think from Firefox: please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration> Then there's a second file it says to add. Umm, where/how? The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration>
    Okay, but under ProgramFiles>Firefox there are several folders and none of them say "root" so where am I to create said file and how do I get it there? And then what? I sure don't want to crash Firefox any more than it does as it at least still works.

    jscher - wow. THANK YOU!!! Yes, pale yellow, have emptied cache. Perhaps now everything will again work glitchless. By the way, I completed about half of what all that the post on Firefox crashing said to do. I was a bit intimidated on the memtest86+ tool. But now I am again encouraged. Wouldn't you like to move to Idaho and be my close neighbor. Blessings! Thanks!

  • Firefox and Thunderbird do not communicate anymore : I can't open links from TB emails ( a href... ) and can't send mail from FF pages (mailto)

    Hi there,
    Please excuse me if a make a few mistakes, I am French ;)
    I come here because firefox and thunderbird are not working together anymore. This is what happens :
    - Firefox and Thunderbird are opened
    - I click on a link in an email
    - A few seconds after that a Firefox windows pops up. The title is : "Close Firefox", the content is : "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    Second case :
    - Firefox is closed and Thunderbird is open
    - I click on a link in an email
    - A few seconds after that a Firefox windows pops up as expected. Firefox opens the link as expected but doesn't opens the other tabs as usual (when i start FF it re-opens previous tabs)
    Third case :
    - Firefox and Thunderbird are opened
    - I click on a link to send an email (<a href="mailto:......@.....">)
    - A few seconds after that a Thunderbird windows pops up. The title is : "Close Thunderbird", the content is : "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    As in the second case, if TB is closed when i click on the mailto, TB opens properly and send the email.
    If Internet Explorer is set as my default browser, it works fine for "Thunderbird -> link -> IE" but the "IE-> mailto -> TB" still doesn't work.
    I already looked up for some answers on google but can't find something which works.
    Thank you in advance for your answers.
    Vincent

    Check the target field in the Firefox desktop shortcut and make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
    Always make sure to start at least the default profile without the -no-remote command line switch.
    If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch.
    You can not send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the -no-remote switch.
    In such a case you need to drag links in a Firefox window or paste the link in the location bar.

  • ORA-01017 error and re-create password file? seek advices.

    I used TOAD 9.5 to log in one Oracle 10g database with sys/password as sysdba. It worked fine always. However, today I tried to log in again and come across the ORA-01017 error. Invalid username/password. Then I went to windows server command line to log in as conn / as sysdba and also log in conn sys/password@sid as sysdba, I all logged in successfully. I checked the password file is in $oracle_home\database\. I logged in as normal user successfully.
    My question is: what caused this ORA-error? how to fix it? Is it necessary for me to re-create password file to fix this? Or there is other options? Thanks.

    First though is double check make sure you have no typo when inputting username/password,
    ORA-01017 is very specific error about wrong password, if you have problem with passwordfile you would likely to get ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    You can change your sys password using alter user statement, Oracle will sync the password file.

  • CS6 OS X and Illustrator creates temp files when saved

    Hello all,
    First time to the forums, did a search and couldn't find anything, called customer support they didn't have an answer, and they directed me here.
    We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS6 for OS X(Snow Leopard).  Now, when our users open a file and save it, the file is saved, but along with the file, a temp PDF file is also saved in the directory.  So needless to say, if my user makes 10 changes to the file, there is the original and 10 temp PDF files in the directory.
    We never experienced this with CS5, and I'm not sure where to look, our environment has been unchanged with the exception of the upgrade.
    All the files they are working on are on a Netapp NAS device, and only one person is working on a file at a time.
    any help is appreciated.

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Select the text on the line below by dragging across it. Don't include the blank space at the end of the line.
    sudo chmod -R -N
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Click anywhere in the Terminal window, then paste (command-V). Press the space bar.
    Now switch to the Finder and and select the item(s) that are causing the problem. Drag the items into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
    Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal.
    Test.

  • Grub uses wrong UUID and cannot create config file

    I've tried performing an installation to a USB drive as per the wiki. Everything works up until I try to boot and grub tries to load the wrong UUID for my / filesystem.
    My next step was to chroot back into the USB install and manually change the UUID to the correct one. Odd, as others have pointed out in this thread
    the grub-mkconfig command should detect the correct UUID if run from within arch-chroot.
    Anyway, after changing the UUID in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and trying to regenerate the config file with `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` I noticed the file had not changed. This is because the command is exiting successfully, but isn't actually writing any file. I deleted the file and tried the command again to be sure. No new file.
    Next I booted into grub, using the config generated with the wrong UUID, and dropped to the shell using `c` -- I was able to load my install just fine using
    set root=(hd0,gpt2)
    linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sdb3 ro
    initrd /initramfs-linux.img
    boot
    From there I tried removing the bad config file and recreating it using the `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` command... no dice. Does anyone know what is going on? At the least the command should tell me that it is failing, no?

    Attached is the output of `grub-mkconfig` running from the chroot.

  • How to transfer and use the project files from Premiere Pro cs6 MAC OS to Premiere Pro CS6 Windows

    Is there any plugin or tool that can help me to transfer my project files along data edited on adobe premiere cs6 MAC OS to the adobe premiere pro cs 6 on windows PC

    When transferring a project from one computer to another,to stop errors such as these, its essential to ensure that the project is copied with all the files and folders in exactly the same locations. Also before opening the project on the new computer, you need to set up a new project and set all the preferences to be exactly the same as on the first computer. Then when you open the project, premiere will find all the files in all the right places. Even then you may need to re-link some files. Just follow the prompts when Premiere asks "Where is file...."
    We use USB hard drives to store students projects on and they are used on many different computers without problems, as the preferences are all set to be the same.
