Hello! Why are there staircase-shaped artefacts with jpegs in Lightroom (invisible in other programmes)?

Hello! Why are there ugly staircase-shaped artefacts with jpegs in Lightroom? They're mostly on edges of red subjects and I can't find them in other programmes or software...

If you have the photos on your camera cards, then obviously you can simply copy them to the appropriate locations.
There are Lightroom plug-ins that can retrieve the preview that Lightroom uses, but these will be smaller and lower in quality than the original. Maybe one of our plug-in experts can suggest the proper plug-in.
If the hard disk is really going bad, as I speculated, you would definitely want to get it replaced. If that is the case, you don't want to keep using it. You might want to run some disk diagnostics on it.

Why are there free fonts included with Adobe Reader?

I noticed that there is a folder with free Adobe fonts included with Adobe Reader. The fonts are Courier Std, Minion Pro and Myriad Pro.
Why are these fonts included? Will these fonts be included with future versions of Adobe Reader?

The fonts are only for use with Adobe Reader. You should not attempt to use them for any other purpose. They are included with software that is free of charge, but still subject to license and may not be copied to other systems...
All versions of Adobe Reader have included some fonts, but they change.
They are mainly there to help Adobe Reader show PDF files that do not embed fonts, to generate substitutions in a wide range of sizes and shapes.

Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
Cheers, Kavango

That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

TS1559 Why are there so many issues with the iPhone 4S? The WiFi setting on the 4S becoming greyed out is certainly NOT a rare instance.

Why does the iPhone 4S keep losing the ability to connect to a WiFi server? This is a repeat issue with one of our phones!

I had the same problem with my iphone 4S, ios 7.1.2. The wifi button was grayed out for some time now. I tried several methods that I found in various forums, including the reset of network settings, airplane mode, fridge and more. NOTHING!
Then I finally did what I wanted to avoid - the heating method, and it worked as follows:
1. iPhone turned on, I held a hair dryer close to it while keeping the screen on and watching it while heating the iphone with the hair dryer.
2. When the temperature warning came up on the screen, I put the iphone aside to cool up in room temperature (shut off the display). I turned it on/off couple of times until I saw that the warning was gone and normal screen came back.
3. The wifi was still grayed out.
4. I then did the network settings reset,
iphone wifi was back to normal!!

Why are there so many problems with 7.01 and 7.02?

Loading 7.01 and then 7.02 on both the iphone 4s and the iPad2 resulted in a complete factory restore of both the phone and the iPad. I then had to completely restore from a backup. Friends are reporting the same issue. What is happening APPLE? Is this the begining a major quality control issue? Is this what to expect with future updates?

Why are there no iPhone 6 battery cases with a lightning input port for charging instead of a micro USB?

Why are there no iPhone 6 battery cases with a lightning input port for charging instead of a micro USB?
Does it have something to do with the MFI certification? Is micro USB just cheaper?
I don't want to have to carry around another cable and it seems like this would be a good product. What am I missing?

So can I ask why there are no MFI certified lightning female ports on battery cases? Or more so, does this certification even exist?
And why not?
This is a user-to-user technical support forum. There is no one here from Apple to answer "why". Again, I would recommend contacting the manufacturers or use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to contact Apple directly.
I suspect that manufacturers may view the more standard microUSB charging port as a selling point. Those types of cables are cheaper and ubiquitous.

D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

If i am the only user and owner of my macbook, then why are there 78 users in the directory editor?

Hi guys just wanted to know little bit about the open directory as my MacBook Pro has been playing up on and off at least a couple of years. I have been advised by Apple over the phone or as well as over the genius bar in trying to get my mac to behave. This normally solves whatever problem that has been happening at the time. "Great, job done!"... Not so much, as another problem eventually shows it's ugly pixelated face again and then we end up going round the Infinite loop ride one more time... And this ride ain't always free! I have forked out about £600 on it so far and it wasn't cheap in the beginning! Anyway I have just got off the ride and before I get punched by a plyst to get back on I would rather learn about the things I don't understand so hopefully I can resolve the matter without hair loss. So my main question so far is why are there 78 user names (most of which are computer related names, not all) are found in Directory Utility? I do not play games on my Mac it is mainly used for media such as iPhoto, iTunes, pages, mail and surfing the net. So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
If you have any suggestions or pointers then please post a reply.
Thanks for reading
Orion

So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
None. It's normal. Make no modifications.
It's not clear what trouble you are experiencing, or if anything is wrong at all. If your Mac is not behaving as you expect it should, describe what's wrong in as much detail as possible.
Include all relevant details regarding your MacBook Pro starting with which one of its three dozen models you have. Posting the results of EtreCheck will help with that. Read about it here.

Why are there ads in my games that I have purchased. How do I get rid of the ads?

The developer participates in the ad program to provide income, usually in exchange for offering the application for free or at a low price. Some developers offer an ad-free version of the app at a higher price, so you might look for that possibility. If they only offer a single version, though, then you're stuck with the ads, though you can urge the developer to offer an ad-free version as well.

A common misconception of unknown origin. The intake and the exhaust for the cooling fan on the 13" MB and MBP are both located on the rear slot at the base of the hinge. In fact, you can actually see the divider that separates the intake flow from the output flow. If it were through the keyboard crevices, then an awful lot of overheats would result from people using impermeable keyboard covers, as well as Apple's warranty department would be flipping out over the Apple store carrying such covers. iSkin ProTouch FX Keyboard Cover for all MacBooks - Black Printed Keys on White - Apple Store (U.S.)
Does one think that Apple sells these only for use when the Notebook is off??? http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW...co=MTM3OTUwMDE Closing the lid, whilst operating the unit actually results in cooler operation due to reduction in power consumed by operating the display, which in supporting the on-board display generates heat far greater than simply powering the video port..

once again, I've tried a few of these keyboard covers. the Moshi keyboard cover is the ONLY one I can recommend. the others are too thick or change the keyboard experience too much.

Re: Is it safe to use MBP with screen lid closed? Leave charge on always?
1. Closing the cover will cause more heat. This is not because of covering the keyboard very much (though it does help some heat be retained). It's mainly because of the shape of the hinge and the fact when closed it covers up the back vent a lot more. For the best cooling, it is best to have the screen open. Just run it as a dual monitor, but make the external the Primary monitor, and if you don't want to use the built in, just turn its backlight off and don't use it.
2. The thing you plug into the wall is not a battery charger. The actual "charger" is built into the computer. It knows when to charge and when not to. If the little light on the power plug is amber, then its charging your battery. When its green, its just powering the laptop and NOT charging your battery at all.

I'd leave the lid open, at least partially...yes it may be fine not doing that, but you are making heat dissipate worse, of course could even theoretically hurt the screen.
As for the battery...well there's really only two choices, have it plugged in or not. As others mentioned, you can't overcharge the battery. It can be damaged a bit from heat, but of course the number one thing that's going to damage it is discharging it...so it's a no brainer-use it plugged in whenever possible, and try to charge it whenever possible when it's not plugged in.

Nope. Apple would disagree with you on that one. Any "closure", which is, when compared to the amount of CFM, is insignificant. In fact, the opening size remains the same. it is only deflected at a slight angle when the lid is closed. Tilt your MBP and see. As well, shutting down the display lowers the heat being generated, even in the lower case. As I said, if it were a problem, Apple would not be selling stands designed to operate your unit in the closed position as the original poster of this thread proposes to do.
