I'm getting a weird issue with my 2012 macbook retina, where in my dashboard there is a very opaque version of my dock. as well as my toolbar

As you can see the dock is visible in the bottom, the computer doesn't recognize this though because when i take a screenshot it doesnt show. The same issue is visible in the user login screen.

Try change the firs setting in mission control preference pane.
Or move this to trash:

Strange keyboard issues with my 2012 Macbook Air...

Hey guys,
I've been using my brand new macbook air for the last 2 weeks or so without any issues. Today I took my laptop out of my bag after work and noticed that things on the keyboard have been really weird. For starters, certain keys on the right side of the board are not giving me the correct symbols when I press them. There are a few other random keys (mostly the numbers and symbols) that are incorrect.
ie: I press shift+2 for the @ but I get ' instead or I press ] and get @ instead.
Another weird thing to note: Caps lock turned on = lower case letters and Caps lock turned off = upper case letters.
I left my laptop alone for a few hours and when I came back to it later, whenever I turn it on it automatically boots into safe mode which makes me assume that the shift key is stuck in some weird way.
What can be causing this?

I have about the exact same problem, my macbook air 13 in (bought january this year in Belgium) is having the same issues, first (i'm on an azerty keyboard - first the following keys stopped working ; . : / and a week a half after that almost the whole keyboard gave up, symptoms
lowercase c reacts like the enter key
lowercase v types ^V
the whole row of keys from a tot Z don't work or produce garabage like ´^VVVVV1111111111
numerical keys work, but using shift together does not
If I attach an external keyboard, then the same key mismappings or whatever happening here, are also on the external keyboard, so I can't even login with an external keyboard
Sounds like hardware failure, but no idea why, my macbook is in top condition, no spills, no high humidty, really nothing whatsoever
If any one would have a clue prior to bringing it to mac store?
All defaults already done (smc - pram reset), reboot to recovery terminal there same problem with internal and external keyboard, boot from usb etc etc
For me really really really dissappointing, bought the top model macbook air with all upgrades available, as a stable working laptop for business use (for which I payed premium for a premium device) , but stuff like this happens on cheap windows consumer laptops, not on a macbook air
I have about everything over here, 2 Iphones, 3 Ipad's, an Imac, a MacPro, a Macbook Pro, each and every one of the durable and decent devices but this macbook air has been nothing to be excited about untill now, lots of blowing fans all the time, run's quite hot, the touchpad having it's on will
Always been a very loyal Apple customer as the list of Mac devices above shows, but things like this make me reconsider
Best Regards

Weird issue with safari on iPad mini?

I just had a weird issue with my safari web page, it stopped responding to my scrolling. I then tried coming out of it and going bad in again a couple of times, which still did not work. It then started jiggling around all over the place (jiggling is the only word I can use to describe it), it was as if you had clicked and held the page with a mouse and then started moving the page all over the place, or even like an earthquake on the page. The tab then closed. Can anyone explain this? Thanks.

Quit Safari then reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Weird Issue With Windows Live Mail

some malware or other junk that could be causing it so I ran MBAM and got everything cleaned up but it's still happening. Any other thoughts on what could cause this?

Weird issues with latest X-Fi Driver/Software

-Weird issues with latest X-Fi Driver/SoftwareO So I decided to update my X-fi drivers and software today, but I am running into some issues.
First and foremost is that my Volume Panel no longer works correctly. It brings up this cheap pos window when I click on the Systray icon instead of the corrrect full featured interface.
It lists the merdia source programs and has a volume dial, thats all this new one has.
The other issues are that none of the software updates want to install: Alchemy, Mixer, Mediasource Go
They all give me a message after I being to install that says "can not locate layout.bin please specify the path"? and gives my a "this setip reqires a cd" window and lists a path to a temp folder inside my windows folder.
Installing these for Vista? Ultimate 32-bit.

Are there any ventilation issues with running a macbook air in clamshell mode?

...that makes sense to me.
but, why do so many MBA users (on this forum and others) claim that ventilation occurs through the keyboard? Is this claim based on an old macbook design?
for example, here's a related discussion (although fairly old):

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.)

Re: Is it safe to use MBP with screen lid closed? Leave charge on always?
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.

'''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.

How to use my earpods with my 2012 macbook pro

I can not get the inline microphone to work on my earpods with my 2012 macbook pro. It will not reconize it. Help please!

I have an A1286(Early 2011) MBP with OS X 10.8.2. Using my headphone jack with earpods has been sporadic. Sometimes I get the mic, sometimes I don't. I just now took a paper clip and worked it around inside the jack. I plugged my headphones back in appears to be working. Could be something inside the jack is bent and not making contact with the mic part of the plug.
Your mileage may vary. I assume no liability if you damage something.
Tried it again and it doesn't seem to be working anymore. For my MBP I think it is a hardware issue. Either dust or something is getting in between the contacts and the plug or the contacts are just not touching the plug. I'm gonna take a crack at dismantling my MBP and see if it's something simple like bending the contacts so they touch the headphone plug.

Weird issue with 10.0.1.0 on Linux - 5 mins delay in server start-up!!

Hi ...
I am having some weird (and unique??) issue with WLS 10.0.1.0 on RHEL servers.
WLS installation on our DEV env works perfectly fine and the server starts up in 15-20 secs. for each of the two domains created on it.
But the QA server is another story all together ! ... It has the same OS and version, WSL installation and version, hardware configs, processes running at the time of start-up etc. But the problem is that when I try to start the server on the only domain on that server, it always gets delayed by 5-6 mins in between the startup at this point -
+<Feb 17, 2009 *7:04:50 *PM UTC> <Info> <Management> <BEA-141107> <Version: WebLogic Server 10.0 MP1 Thu Oct 18 20:17:44 EDT 2007 1005184 >+
+<Feb 17, 2009 *7:10:56 *PM UTC> <Info> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000215> <Loaded License : /opt/bea/license.bea>+
(Notice the 6 mins delay in the timestamps)
There are no logs getting generated within this time and it seems like the WLS 10.0.1.0 just spaces out
After the delay it starts up pretty fast .. within 10-15 secs!!
Anybody here seen such behavior with WLS
thanks,
--Shailesh Welankar

I recommend taking some thread dumps during this delay and contacting support to get some advice.
You can take the thread dumps by kill -3, JRockit Mission Control, etc.

Weird issues with menu font, Spotlight indexing, etc.

Hi all,
About a week ago, my PB G4 was freezing a lot; I'd have to hold the power button to shut it down, and if I tried to start it up again, it would chime and the light would come on, but the screen wouldn't light up and there would be no disc/fan sound. Or sometimes the screen would light up and the disc would boot, but it would either freeze at the grey screen or just after getting to my desktop. This was all similar to some issues I had over the summer when my hard drive was getting too full, but now I've got 22GB free (out of 90GB), so that shouldn't be a problem. I have OnyX and have run it a couple times in the last few months for cleanup.
So anyway, last week, I read what I could find on the forums here and in my user's guide. I tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, but after the second chime sound (when it's okay to release the keys), it froze on the restart, so I wasn't sure if it worked or not. (I have since tried resetting this, and it's worked normally.) I booted from the Install DVD and reset the startup disk. I ran Apple Hardware Test, and everything checked out okay. My S.M.A.R.T. status was "verified." I also ran Disk Utility to repair permissions and disk, but got an error during disk repair that the repair could not be completed.
Somewhere in all of this, on one of the restarts, all of the text in the menu at the top of the screen changed so that each character was replaced with a small square with a capital letter A in it. This is annoying, though I've mostly been able to get around it using keystroke commands or just remembering where things were in the menus. The same character display issue is also true of the text beneath every icon on my desktop and in Finder windows-- though if I click on those as if to rename those files, I can see the name in a regular font. In the Finder, if I switch it to list view rather than icon view, the texts for the file and application names appear normal. When dialog boxes (for errors or commands) come up, the text in those sometimes appears as these little boxed characters.
Oddly enough, my computer's been working better since this happened... or at least, I haven't had any more restart issues. However, I've noticed some other weird things besides just the menu fonts. If I click the Spotlight icon to do a search, it always shows that it's indexing my computer. Yesterday I tried to print a Word document and just got an error simply saying "Word cannot print." I'm wondering if these and the menu font issues are all related to the disk errors that Disk Utility encountered, and what I should try next.
Anybody encountered this before?

Hi, rhiannon. Your hard drive's directory is seriously corrupt — so seriously that Disk Utility can't fix it. You have three choices:
1. If your hard drive's contents are backed up in the form of an up-to-date bootable clone of your hard drive from just before your problems began, simply clone the clone from your external backup drive back onto the internal drive. This will erase the internal drive, including whatever is corrupt on it, and replace its contents with the contents of your backup. You will be back to normal quickly.
2. Use a more potent disk Utility such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive directory. If you don't have all your data backed up elsewhere, this is the way to go.
3. If you have your data backed up, but not in a bootable clone form, start up from your Tiger installer DVD, erase your hard drive, and reinstall everything on it from original software installer discs and from your data backups, afterward applying all the necessary software updates again. This is very time-consuming.

Having some weird issues with logic 8

i am almost Positive! that i pushed some buttons or selected something to mess it up, i would be indebted to anyone who can help me with like three issues i'm having
I run my M-audio mobile pre into logic and am having these issues:
#1. track 1 and two seem to be tied together even though i select mono tracks... so i need to leave track two blank otherwise it interferes with whatever is on track one. and on the bar where i drag the loop i was using it has two O's that make like a vinn diagram symbol.
#2. the volume controll (the bottom left fader one) can increase the Db but not decrease...
#3 through my headphones the signal only comes out the right side. i am inputting my guitar/vox into the right input on the mobile pre, but i thought if the tracks were mono, it wouldn't matter.
please please please help, i need to get recording soon!
thanks.

i figured out the volume issue, with the weird stereo track, i needed to adjust it on both tracks (even though one was empty haha duh)

Weird issues with file share using both SMB and AFP?

I use my Xserve with 10.4 server primarily as a file server (with a huge RAID array attached via Ultra320 SCSI). I've served files from this server over SMB ("Windows" sharing) to both PCs and Macs for a few years now with no big issues. The files are being shared in a collaborative environment with extensive user accounts and ACLs set up.
I would like to turn on AFP for these same file shares, so those accessing with a Mac can have the added benefits of AFP over SMB. However, I've heard some rumors of some complicated issues developing from the use of both AFP and SMB together on the same folders, in a mixed environment.
The rumors I've heard are things that would happen rarely but enough for it to be significant. For example, a file created over SMB and then edited over AFP would have some problems being re-edited over SMB again, due to some complicated feature that the rumor is unable to explain (something with a resource fork or file locking?). Maybe something weird that just involves the Adobe Creative Suite?
Anyway, I figured I'd throw this out there. Anyone who serves files over both protocols to a varied set of computers and applications having weird issues? Or is everything working for you? Thanks in advance.
