Frustrating problems with MDD

I have two issues that I'm trying to take care of. The first is that there are times when my computer will and won't run applications until I choose to quit them. In other words, they just quit without explanation.
I thought I had found the issue, I ran a popular memory test (forget the name) and I found a problem with one of the sticks. The ones that are currently in there run all the tests fine.
Now with that said, I'm still having trouble. I thought if I tried to reset my pram then I might be able to limit some things down.
But here's my second problem - I CAN'T EVEN RESET MY PRAM NOW!! Heh. Frustrating it is. Honest.
So with that new problem, I tried to restart in open firmware. Not responsive. Went straight to my desktop.
I'm running 10.5 so I don't know if keystrokes have been changed... but any ideas to try to fix this would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Q

Hey, Japamac.
Thanks for getting back with me. I fixed the keyboard issue. It is an Apple keyboard, but it wasn't plugged in to the right location. It actually was plugged into my USB PCI card.
Now with that said, even after resetting everything, Single User going resetting nvram and holding command opton p and r for PRAM reset.. I'm still having multiple hangs.
Typically it seems to occur when the computer wants to access some of its resources that it doesn't use all the time.
Whenever the Mac needs to "think" about something is when it usually seems to crash the applications that's up. Sometimes this on Youtube, sometimes it's as things are being normally quit. Sometimes there's no warrant. I can pretty much expect it if I leave something running overnight that it will have crashed in the morning. Especially Camino or another browser (Safari, Firefox)
iTunes doesn't seem to cause the problem that much, nor does Mail.
Sorry that I'm throwing up a lot of random things up. I just want throw out there the symptoms.

  • Frustrating problem with Bridge 6.1.0

    I have been experiencing a frustrating problem with Bridge 6.1.0 and previous versions. Soemtimes when I save a file to a particular folder, the file is present in the Finder window, but is not visible in Bridge. If I move the file from Finder to Bridge by draging it there, then it shows up but it is so frustrating to have to do it this way. I have tried to use the «Refresh» function in Bridge but that does not help. All scripts are turned on in Preferences- I have Mac  OS X 10.9.4

    The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.
    The easiest way would be to update to at least 10.7.5 (supported on most older Macs) but maybe you have strong reasons not to do so, however it will put you in to more trouble in the future because newer applications have more often the habit of not being able to support older OS versions due to limitations of this old OS.
    Here is the announcement of Adobe:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/moving-ahead-with-mac-os-x-10-7-and-higher/
    However PS CC should still work on your system and otherwise CS6 should. As a cloud subscriber you still have access to both CC and CS6 on the Adobe CC download pages. But only PS is a major upgrade (changed to version 2014) and Bridge has just a minor update and should still work on 10.6.8 I would think?
    Installing the updates and upgrades did not remove or uninstall the CC versions of PS, otherwise use CC application to install CC again.

  • Thoroughly frustrating problem with Preview

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forum and tried to hold out as long as possible, but the problem I'm having has so thoroughly frustrated me I had to post this. Let me try to be as clear as possible.
    I have a Mac (OS 10.8.2, upgraded from a late-2009 Macbook running Snow Leopard - 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gb RAM, 1067 MHz DDR3). I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed. I also have Microsoft Office 2011. Both Acrobat, M. Office, and all my software is fully updated and current. I have no font conflicts, as I have just clean re-installed my OS because this problem is so frustrating.
    The issue is with pdfs I make of books I own. Sometimes I will use my iphone 4 (latest iOS 6.1.2) with apps like "CamScanner+" or "GeniusScan+" to copy chapters and make pdfs. (CamScanner+ has built in OCR capability.) I then upload them to my WebDAV bibliography storage cloud on Box.net to access from my Mac laptop. Sometimes I use the University's big overhead scanner to make monochrome pdfs, and run OCR thru Acrobat Pro XI. Sometimes I will use the Canon scanners in the computer labs, and do OCR in Acrobat Pro XI then. In each case, I use Zotero to handle attaching pdfs to bib entries and sync it all up to my WebDAV account. (Zotero has a plugin I use called "Zotfile," which also allows one to extract notes, highlighting, annotations, etc., and store them on Zotero while also keeping them on the pdf.) In either case, though, I always run the pdf thru Acrobat Pro XI to optimize, at the least.
    When I access the pdfs for notetaking, research, etc., I tend to use Mac's Preview built-in app. I find it easier to streamline, scroll, view and add notes, less clutery, etc. I see that this new Mountain Lion Preview is much different than Snow Leopard's, which is very regrettable. In this version, Preview saves as you go, it seems.
    The problem is that everytime I save the pdf I've been working on from File>Save (and even when Preview saves as I go), it does a number of nasty, unwanted things. First, it somehow doubles the filesize (e.g., from 30mb to 67mb). Second, and MOST HATED, it takes the OCR'ed texts/fonts and converts them all to alien faces, square boxes, or just blanks. (God it's making me angry just thinking about it now - I've spent two full weeks now trying to fix this!!!!) This happens regardless of whether I ClearScan the OCR, Searchable text the OCR, or Searchable text (exact) the OCR. It happens regardless of whether the OCR'ed fonts are embedded, embedded subsets, etc. Every option on Acrobat Pro XI, I feel I have tried and exhausted and Preview still f$&#s it up. As far as I can tell, this happens regardless of what kind of font is used in the OCR'ed pdf (e.g., TrueType, CID, etc.). In every single instance, Preview will 1) double the file size and 2) screw up the fonts upon saving. If I take this newly ruined pdf back into Acrobat Pro, highlight text, copy and try to paste into Word, Chrome, or any other app it produces the same result. However, if I right click and "copy with formatting" from Acrobat Pro, it copies the actual words/font. The newly ruined Preview pdf doesn't return any word searches either. And annotations like highlighting, once extracted or even viewed in the notes&highlighting box, show blanks. I have downloaded and tried a Mac app called Skim, and it is the exact same effect, unless I File>Export...
    I know this is not a problem with my Mac's fonts since I just did a clean re-install. Font Book tells me everything is alright too. This occurs regardless of what save settings I choose in Preview (e.g., the default settings, the quartz settings, reduce file size, etc.).
    The strange part, though, is that when I take this newly ruined Preview'ed pdf, highlight text, go to font inspector, it says the highlighted font is exactly what it was when Acrobat saved it (e.g., Arial). And if I take this same document back to Acrobat and view properties, it says the fonts are the same as they were when Acrobat Pro originally processed it.
    SO... I hope someone can help me with a fix for this. I truly do not want to use Acrobat Pro XI as my research pdf tool. It doesn't scroll smoothly, the layout is clunky, etc. It just isn't conducive to research/reading/notetaking. Preview, I think, is, and so I want to be able to have a fix for this so that Preview will quit ruining my life.
    I can provide sample pdfs if that might help. I can provide the original Acrobat Pro XI processed pdfs, as well as the newly ruined Preview pdfs. BTW, I posted this in Adobe's forums as well.

    I assume the answer by macjack would not apply in the case of Snow Leopard - Preview version 5.0.3 - but I have the same issue with OCR (not the constant autosave issue though) on my '10 MBP running osx 10.6.8 where suddenly maybe about a year ago 2 hugely annoying things changed in Preview.
    As first poster stated (and he/she obviously knows a LOT more about this stuff than me) Preview stopped providing accurate search results with most pdf documents (some downloaded, some created from web, etc., no idea of common thread there).
    I can NO LONGER COPY AND PASTE any text in any pdf opened in Preview to another application!! I used to have no problem copying pdf text from Preview to, say, text edit. Now it comes up weird boxes and dashes and no, font choice and/or conflict is not the issue.
    I realize this thread is within the Mountain Lion community, and forgive me if I should start a new thread in some other area of this forum saying exactly what I have here, but I have searched and searched on this topic for months and this is the first thread I found which refers to these exact issues I'm enduring.
    Any further advice or comments on the subject - or even constructive instructions if I should post elsewhere - would be greatly appreciated!

  • I have a frustrating problem with my iPhone 5 post ios8 installation. The ring tone won't sound when phone is locked/switched off, although the vibration does work. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb"

    Hi, I have a frustrating problem that seems to have occurred post iOS 8 installation. When my iphone5 is switched off the ring tone fails to sound i only get the vibration. If i am using my phone and a have an incoming call then the ring tone works as normal. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb" ... i see from the menu in "do not disturb" that under the heading "silence" there are two options "always" and "only when the phone is locked" This does not seem to make sense as i have to choose one or the other!
    If anybody can help advise me on this problem i would be very grateful.
    Thanks

    Hello Mogulman46,
    So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off. 
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • Very frustrating problem with Photoshop Elements 10 - can anyone help?

    I don't know what's happened, and I haven't changed any of the settings or anything.
    When I open a photoshop file I am currently working on, now, no matter what I do, nothing changes in the actual photo. Even when I delete layers to see if it reverts back to the original photo, nothing changes. When I try adding new layers, nothing happens, when I try adjusting something such as opacity, or brightness/saturation, nothing changes.
    I've tried opening/creating other photoshop files and I have the same problem, so it seems a problem with the actual software, rather than individual files. Even after uninstalling then installing the software, the problem is still there.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Or could you direct me to a good help forum/source?
    Many thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    I would go to the Photoshop Elements Forum, and look for Loraclf's post there, or post with your problem, your equipment info, and the problem. Someone there will be able to help you.
    Good luck,

  • Very frustrating problem with mousepad, clicker, and cursor.

    Hi, guys. Anyone who could help me with this would have my sincere appreciation.
    Recently (in the last week), my three-year old MBP has been giving me ****. Sometimes the problem is around, sometimes it isn't, but tonight was the last straw. I can hardly use MS Word to type anything, which is very frustrating since I'm a writer.
    When I move the cursor over something, sometimes it will select whatever it's over even though I didn't click. For example, in Word, it will click some random space in the middle of the page and automatically put the typer there. Another example- when I use iTunes and I want to select a specific spot in a track I'm listening to, it won't "click out". So when I move the cursor, even though I've clicked out, the cursor will still drag the music backwards or forwards. Another thing that happens, is I will unintentionally open a document or program, even though I did not click, but the cursor was over it. One other thing- if I'm on the Finder and there's nothing on the desktop, sometimes the cursor will start making those gray selection squares and even though I keep clicking out, it keeps making new ones.
    Is this a virus? Is it a hardware problem? Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help. My MBP is up to 10.5.something.

    Couldn't find an edit button, so I'm double-posting, sorry. Anyway, recently, I've been restarting when the problem gets too unmanageable and every time I've restarted, it automatically ejects my disc somewhere between blacking out and the log-in screen.

  • Frustrating problems with X6

    Can someone advise please? I have the nokia x6 & I do like the phone but it frustrates me so much with the following problems.
    1) For no apparant reason it disconnects itself from my internet server so emails don't come in & I have to keep setting it up again. Sometimes it does it several times a day.
    2) I turn my phone off at night & once or twice a week when I turn it on in the morning, it doesn't make the nokia tune & it has reverted to the day befores date.
    3) Nokia emailsdon't always come in & I can't use it for sending a message. My sister who has the same phone doesn't have these problems.

  • Ongoing, very frustrating problems with Snow Leopard

    I've really been struggling to get my machine to work optimally with Snow Leopard. I recently upgraded to 4GB RAM thinking my problem was insufficient memory, but several seemingly intractable problems are persisting.
    1) Still having font issues. I am apparently missing a couple fonts, but cannot figure out which ones. The font that Apple uses during the installation of software is bitmapped, as are several fonts in my widgets (Stocks, for example). I've tried manually going through one by one in Font Book, but still can't get the right set, apparently.
    2) Firefox and Safari are now hanging like crazy on certain websites, and web browsing is generally sluggish. I recently upgraded by broadband to 6.0mps, so it's not the connection that's the problem. Some sites will not even load, and others are painfully slow.
    3) General system sluggishness. I have tried cleaning the cache with Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner, I've tried repairing permissions. Performance is still slow relative to Leopard -- despite my RAM upgrade. For example, it takes forever for the widgets to load. They used to be lighting fast in Leopard.
    HELP!

    Here is a solution to having a sluggish internet experience that has worked for some.
    1. Go Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    2. Move the the SystemConfiguration folder to your desktop:
    3. Reboot
    The folder moved should be recreated upon reboot. You may have to reconnect to your wireless network if applicable. And, you may need to go System Preferences > Sharing and re-enter your computer's name. Check what name is given in sharing before following the instructions. If problems develop, then your can move the original folder back where they it started—overwriting anything recreated.
    3) General system sluggishness. I have tried cleaning the cache with Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner, I've tried repairing permissions. Performance is still slow relative to Leopard -- despite my RAM upgrade. For example, it takes forever >for the widgets to load. They used to be lighting fast in Leopard.
    There are a variety of possible fixes for general slowness, in addition, to maintenance that is not performed automatically in Sno. Here are some nonmaintenance-related possibilities:
    1. If you are running iAntivirus, then uninstall it.
    2. Look in Library > StartupItems and in System > Library > StartupItems. Move whatever you find in them to the desktop to see if your problem is resolved. You can move whatever you want back one at a time to test which, if any, is your problem.
    3. I Go > System > Library > LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist and delete this file. I caution you here that all possible solutions one tries are at his or her own risk.
    You'll lose all system sounds in Finder with this possible fix, but restoring the plist and stopping then starting the service seems to put all back in order.
    4.
    1. Create a new user
    2. Test apps to see that they work with no crashing.
    3. Drag your data (not your whole home folder) into their proper places in your new user home folder
    4. Re-enter your app preferences if you are going to keep using the new user.
    5. If you want to use the old user name, then delete the old account; recreate it; and move everything back to the original locations.
    6. You will need to fix the permissions, app settings, etc.
    5. Go back to 10.6.

  • Help! Very frustrating problem with my Gen 4 iPod!

    Hello,
    I am hoping somebody can help me. I have a 20GB Gen 4 iPod with 3.1.1 software installed. It is formatted for Windows but just refuses to appear on my iTunes on my Mac. Here are the details:
    - Macbook Air running Mac OS X 10.6.2
    - iTunes 9.0.2
    - Gen 4 iPod running 3.1.1 software
    - My Mac works fine with either iPhone or iTouch
    I have tried restoring the iPod but that hasn't helped. I can't restore it from my Mac as it does not get recognised in iTunes, but does show as a hard disk in the finder.
    I have recently sold my iPhone as i have a new work phone. So I want to use my old ipod again. Thats my goal - get the ipod working with my mac!!
    Any hints or tips would be great!
    Thanks...

    Hey Mitch - good tips. I have managed to now erase the iPod using the disk utility and it now shows up in iTunes every time it is connected. However it then says the iPod is corrupted and suggests a restore. I try this and it gets a little bit into it and cuts out, saying the iPod is busy... every time, without fail.
    Any other tips?
    Thanks

  • Very frustrating problem with external display-works but doesn't

    I just set up my new LED Viewsonic monitor with my new MBA and it works flawlessly...except when I first want to hook it up. When I first want to use it I plug everything (laptop is closed) and then proceed to turn on the monitor. When the monitor turns on it shows white noise UNTIL I open my laptop and go to the general settings. Why the heck is this happening?! I have it from HDMI out to a HDMI>DVI converter into the back of the monitor. It's just annoying and seems very peculiar. This also happens when everything is already working and the computer goes to sleep and I try to wake it up=white noise, until I open it up and go to the display tab under general settings.
    I appreciate any help that anyone can offer!!
    Thank you!

    I feel kind of stupid, but I guess I all I had to do was wait about 5-10 seconds and then it worked. Nevermind

  • Problem with fireTableDataChanged in JTable

    Hi everybody,
    i have a really frustrating problem with Jtable. I created a class to display the jtable and a class that extends AbstactTableModel to use as its model. I can update my table after a fireTableDataChanged method in the class that extend the AbstractTableModel, but after implementing a ListSelectionListener to the class that displays the jtable, it gives a big bunch of errors in the console of my ide, when i remove it, it went back to normal without any errors.
    Anyways, my program still can run without problem and the table still can refresh, just this bunch of errors when i clicked the button that calls the AbstactTableModel to perform a firetabledatachanged
    anybody got this problem? how did you guys solve it?

    just this bunch of errors when i clicked the button that calls the AbstactTableModel to perform a firetabledatachangedWell, you should never have a button that invokes fireTableDataChanged.
    The TableModel should be responsible for invoking those methods.
    I suggest you look at the code for the DefaultTableModel for the proper way to write a TableModel. Basically you create methods to update the model. The model in turn fires the events to notify the view to repaint itself.

  • Problem with flash banners in browser

    I have a very frustrating problem with my browser (any browser) opening a flash banner.  On my website we have a rotating flash banner and when I open it all four banners open at the same time.  It happens on several pages, but not in every page with a banner.  I have tried emptying my cache and turning off Kaspersky, but to no avail.
    Does anyone know what could be happening???

    my page is www.sojournfargo.org, but the page works on my wife's computer and the web designer's computer.  I also can't see the banner on www.inforum.com where the news rotates.

  • A frustrating problem I'm having importing PSD files into ID CS3

    I am doing some page layouts for ads for magazines, and I've had a frustrating problem with Photoshop and InDesign CS3 for the longest time. Basically, I want to drag the PSD files we have already made for our products into my layout and use them as-is, but when I do so, they display as garbled ugly things in my InDesign CS3 layout, no matter what. The fix is for me to load the PSD, copy the contents, make a new file, paste the contents of the last other file, and save it as a new PSD file -- then things will work great. But this is a big pain in the buttocks and I'd like to fix the problem and eliminate this step.
    You can see an example : http://twitpic.com/1kxp33 .
    Basically, the image on the left shows the garbled image which has been dragged into the layout. It's just a normal PSD, single layer, but perhaps saved with some incompatibilty such as not being saved in "maximum compatibility mode" or having been saved with a color file attached. The pic on the right shows the correct image that I have manually resaved and imported.
    Can anyone help me figure out why all of my PSD files are being garbled when I drag them into InDesign?

    I just did a test there and the Maximise Compatibility had minimal effect (ironically) on how the image looks in InDesign CS3 or in InDesign CS5
    However, I did get a warning that the image was saved witout Maximise compatibility and it may have an effect on performance, nothing else.
    Perhaps the other people are not on the same version of photoshop as you are, perhaps run the adobe updater and make sure  you're all on the same version update for both apps.
    Trashing preferences might clear up your photoshop images - hold down the three modifier keys bottom left corner of the keyboard when starting photoshop (sorry Peter I don't remember the Mac Combo )
    Really hard to know why this is happening though.

  • Problems with AIM on new iMac G5

    Hi--Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm having an extremely frustrating problem with AIM, which I recently downloaded on my son's new iMac G5 (TIger 10.4.3). I've tried posting this question in the iChat forum, but since he doesn't use iChat and never has it open on his computer, I don't think it's an interference problem with iChat.
    AIM quits unexpectedly and repeatedly, often several times in just a few minutes. I've tried: throwing out all preferences, trashing and reinstalling AIM, and using AIM from a different user account on the machine. AIM worked FINE on my computer--an older G4 also running OS Tiger, so I can't imagine that this is an operating system conflict.
    A friend suggested that it might be a problem with the wireless network. The new G5 is connected wirelessly via Airport to my G4. Has anyone heard of AIM not running well on a wireless machine? Could something (an outside frequency perhaps?) be interfering with the wireless connection, causing AIM to quit?
    Needless to say, AOL's tech support is completely unhelpful. Says they don't provide tech support for AIM.
    If anyone can help, or knows someplace I can find AIM tech support, I would GREATLY appreciate it! THanks!

    The best advice I can offer is to dump the AOL AIM client altogether, and use a third-party instant messaging application that supports AIM.
    For example, Adium X is a full featured IM client that supports AIM as well as many other IM protocols.
    It's very stable on Tiger, and it's light years ahead of the official AIM client from AOL.
    Try it out!

  • People Experiencing Problems with PlayForSure/MTP devices on Windows

    I have been having many frustrating problems with software reporting my Zen Sleek as not responding during transfer or not being able to aqcuire licenses for certain songs during transfer while using Napster To Go and with Creatives own software.
    Today I went looking for the problems on my computer but couldn't find any.
    When the problem occurred again, i.e. no software could access my player, it was still listed in the device manager.
    So, I right clicked and hit update driver and Windows updated the MTP drivers for my machine.
    Since then I've had zero problems transferring files using Napster or Creative software.
    Hope this helps other people having similar issues.
