I've never seen this before, picture included
My Time Capsule recently got stuck on the Preparing.... section
I deleted the image file from the time capsule and started a new backup. Things were working ok, and they still might be.....but I noticed this today (see the picture).
I am not sure why this is happening or how to fix it. For those who can't see the picture, it appears that about 12 disk drives are mounted. they all say 'Backup of MacBookPro (2)'

I often get that type of message, which doesn't go away with repairing permissions, even if I repair the user permissions (which a normal repair doesn't do). Apple protecting you from yourself?

I have never seen this before when I try to copy and paste, I get a
"Copy/cut/ paste is not available in Mozilla and firefox. Do you want more information about this issue? "
I have copied and pasted hundreds of times before with Mozilla and firefox . This just happened suddenly.
when I go to find more information on this issue, it give a long drawn out explanation I cant follow.
What happened?When you right-click the link, the page immediately tells you you can't copy, or does that occur after you choose Copy Link Location?
If it appears immediately, you can switch a setting in Firefox that should prevent sites from blocking the normal right-click menu. Here's how you would do that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''context''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''dom.event.contextmenu.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false.
This setting does have a complication: On Google Maps and other sites that have their own right-click menu, Firefox's menu then will block the site's menu. To clear Firefox's menu so you can access the site's menu tap either the Alt key or Esc key once (but sometimes Esc removes both). -
Is anyone else having the finish rub off of the keys on their macbook? I've had mine for about 6 months and several keys look like the finish is wearing through. I went to the local genius bar today and the techs said they'd never seen this before.
Some people have seen their aluminum uni-body discoloring due to body oils. Go figure.
Normally putting anything over the keys/aluminum will hurt heat disspation, but you may need to use keyboard covers.
Or save up $500/year for new keyboards.
Neither is supposed to be a sarcastic answer. Either one could end up being the solution.
Good luck with it. -
Help - I turn my Apple air on and get a message asking for my keychain password - I enter my password but it doesn't work. I've never seen this before. What do I do?

I have just restored my iPad. When I try to set it up, it tells me that my configuration can not be downloaded. Never seen this before. Any ideas?
Hello Abdo_Zain,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to gain access to my iPad. If you are unsure what your Apple ID is, you can find the steps in this article:
Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
You can reset a forgotten Apple ID password by going to the following link:
Apple - iForgot
https://iforgot.apple.com
Also, you may be able to skip the step of entering your Apple ID if you are setting up the iPad for the first time.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

What does the ~ symbol mean next to an event? I have never seen this before but today when I edited a few events this appeared next to the event.
Greetings,
Hm. I've never seen that in iCal. In some other Applications the tilde "~" indicates a restore point or a before / after for a file. My guess is there is a broken cache file in iCal.
Try:
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
If that doesn't resolve the issue:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard. You will see "Library" in the menu.
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps. -
Kind of confused, never seen this before. Legal action?

The reason(s) for our decision are:• Based on your application information, there is legal action pending against the applicant Anyone got a clue? Kind of a weird response, I usually get not enough experience with current credit limit I don't know of any 'pending' legal action that shows up in credit reports (any reporting agency)? I though only finalized judgements, etc? Also, surely some of this stuff doesn't show up on soft pulls? So my first thought is how does Cap1 know you have anything legal 'pending' unless they're the one's initiating it? That too doesn't make a lot of sense because you would think they would have maybe cancelled the card(s) you do have with them, but I've known them to grant credit even when a person already has a card in collections with them). Do you (or spouse even?) have anything in default with Cap1? There are plenty of ways garnishments can be seen by creditors. See CreditCuriousity's earlier response. Be careful suggesting that CapOne is initiating some type of legal action. They aren't and this is very easily explained by the garnishments.Was a thought put to question, and wasn't my intention to suggest anything about someone else's finances that I'm not familiar with.
I guess the word that has me confused is 'pending'. How can garnishments be 'pending'? Don't legal matters need to be processed before showing up in any reports?
(I'm not familiar with them and asking for that reason, thanks)His garnishments have been processed. 'Pending' can be interpreted many ways. It's pending even though it's also ongoing in the sense that money is going to be taken out of his accounts this week, next, week after, etc until his garnishment is over., -
I've never seen this request before. I rarely shut down my computer, and when I restarted it this morning, the above is what I got in a small box. I've tried to find "Completer" in help and communities but there is nothing. I don't want to put in my password until I know it is valid. I found on "google search" about Genieno which led me to a link in the Apple Communities. There is nothing in my apps or computer with that name. Anybody know what this is? Thanks.
There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
or other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
box with your user name.
There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
I'd be looking them up one way or another.
There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
listed (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
•Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing! -
EXTREMELY URGENT - Never seen this before
gurus,
i've portal 30982 on windows NT.
i've to create a new application, following are the steps i'm following -
1. click navigator
2. click the applications tab
3. click create link
4. the schema that i want the application to be based on does not show in the list so, i click cancel
5. click homepage
6. click administer database tab
7. put in the schema name in the edit schema portlet
8. click the edit button
9. the 'APPLICATION SCHEMA checkbox' is missing
how can i make this schema as the application schema ... none of the users can see it when they create applications.
has anyone seen this before ....? this is very critical for the client ...
thanxActually, the Application Schema checkbox has been removed 3.0.9 onwards.
The ComboBox that appears while creating a new Application will be based on all the Schemas on which the Portal User has Manage Privs.
Since the Portal Owner will have privilege on this schema, it can grant manage privilege on the schema to the Portal Users who wish to create Application on this.
Later on, once the Application(s) have been created, the manage privilege can be revoked from the Portal Users so that they do not have the privilege to edit/drop database objects in that schema. -
A Mac Pro Help Challenge. I've never seen this before!
I am having a problem with a Mac Pro 2x3 GHz Quad-Core with 16 GB RAM 750 GB HD with an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500.
The machine has had several problems. Including Illustrator loosing quick keys such as the ability for it to recognize when the SHIFT Key is pressed? Or the ability to quickly change from tool to tool.
It freezes from time to time.
When I shut it down, let the computer power cycle then start it up, I will see the small light on the 23" apple display blink 3 times rapidly then pause then repeat. I can only get the computer back up by pressing the power button for several seconds.
I've come back to the computer to see the RSS Visualizer screen saver blinking. It was strange.
And you really need to see this.

That's a link to a kind of warping effect I get when opening or saving or utilizing any dialog window. I've never seen it occur before.
Can you guys/gals offer any help?
I can't go to apple support. It's my work computer and the IT people here are not Mac Geniuses. I am trying to get some ideas so that I could throw their way.16 GB of RAM sounds great, but who ordered it? IT will usually buy the cheapest memory they can get. Try pulling any non-Apple memory and see if the problems go away. I hear the Mac Pro is pretty sensitive when it comes to memory.

What Firefox version is currently installed on the computer?
You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If you have a very old Firefox version then you could consider to uninstall that version to clean up existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
Make sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Check the Firefox program folder and remove the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

when I try to log into facetime I recieve a message that says the server encountered an error processing registration please try again later. I have been trying to facetime for days this just happened a few days ago, how do I get around this ?
Hi,
As the Other threads suggests I would check the Date and Time settings on the Mac and compare that with the settings in the router.
Messages (and iChat before that) send Time stamped info to Login and to send IMs.
Obviously most people set their Macs to their Time Zone and nearest city/town.
What people sometimes forget is that their Router/Modem device(s) have to be set correctly as well.
EDIT
Also Add a Public DNS server to your System Preferences> Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab

GIF comes out strangely pixelated with noise, never seen this before!
Everytime I export my animated GIF in flash it comes out in this weird pixelated way. Instead of everything being normally pixelated where they are just not as sharp, they come out with what looks like noise speckles all over them. The kind of noise that is not monochromatic. I have no Idea what this is or how to fix it and I have a client waiting for his web banner. I thought at first it was because I was using imported PNG's to make the GIF, but then I tried just making it in flash and it is still happening. I have played with every publish setting offered and I cannot make it clear, please help me!
Why do you want to change it to a png for placement? Just place it as the original .ai eps file you got. You never want to use a jpg, png or gif in a document that's going to be printed. The minute you change it to a png or jpg you're going to lose resolution. That's why it's pixelated

Hello,
I was moving JPEG files from iPhoto to a folder on the desk top to be imported to Final Cut Express. The Mouse slipped and I ended up copying the files to the desk top. I stopped them but over a 100 got sent to the Desk top. Now I cannot delete them. I get messages saying that they are in use in other applications and cannot be removed. I have closed all Åpps, dumped the project from Documents and Movies, trashed the preferences for the project, repaired permissions and re started...STILL cannot get the Jpegs off the Desktop. All the files are still in iPhoto safe and sound but the copies on the desk top won't budge or open. When I try to open one in Preview I get a message saying " this file is being used by OSX and cannot be opened" Hellp! What have I done?
Thanks in advance
RobLong and tedious !! Your right but it worked. Thanks!!!! But I would still like to know what I could have done in Terminal to delete them. Also, what would cause such a thing and what background App would interfere.
I have slipped with the Mouse before because I usually edit while sitting on the couch and use a pillow as a Mouse pad. But all I usually do is drag the misplaced file to the Trash....no problem.
Thanks very much to you guys for responding so quickly.
