Icon in Application Folder Grid View is not displaying correctly

Hi there,
It seems that whenever I download and install a new program into my Applications folder, the icon appears incorrectly in Grid View. For example, I just downloaded a program called Dragster, installed it and dragged it into my Applications folder. However now, when I click on 'Applications' on the dock, the icon for Dragster is white with a circle and line through it (similar to a non-smoking type of sign).
If I drag the icon to the Desktop and then back into Applications again, the icon appears as normal - the correct icon for that folder. Why does this happen? Why does the icon display incorrectly when I drag the program directly to my Applications folder... this is what I am supposed to do isn't it (am a reasonably new mac user)?
Thanks in advance.
Nicola

hey, i've been experiencing the same problem... i really hope that there is a better answer than "get used to it" b/c, like you said, if i drag the icon to the desktop, and then back to the applications folder, the icon appears normal without the "no smoking sign" circle and slash. also, the icons are normal in the finder window, but have the circle and slash when i click on the applications folder/stack in my dock and it opens in grid mode (when set to "automatic). just wondering if you've had any luck finding out how to fix this problem...

P.S. I have posted this question previously but unfortunately didn't find an answer :o(

Finder attributes are stored in an invisible file called .DS_Store, which gets created in every folder opened in Finder. I can't explain why it works the second time you drag it there and not the first time. But you might try deleting that file.
You can do this using Terminal commands. If you are not a Unix guru, you can download a great free utility called TinkerTool.
http://www.bresink.de/osx/TinkerTool.html
On the program's Finder screen, check the box to show hidden files, then relaunch Finder. Locate the .DS_Store file in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash to delete. Relaunch Finder again. See of the problem still recurs.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop

Loupe and Grid view rendering not as good as Develop view.

I recently see that while using LR 5.6 the images rendered in the loupe and grid views do not look nearly as good as the same image displayed in the develop view. I have screen grabs if you'd like to see them below. The Loupe and grid are not as saturated and the gradient in the sky is not nearly as smooth. If I bounce between 'E' and 'D' it is pretty obvious. Once in a while the 'E' (loupe) view looks the same. I'm afraid that I will delete an image based on what I see in the Loupe or do unnecessary edits on an image. When I exported to jpg, the images looked pretty good.
Grid:
Loupe:
Develop:

As far as what could be contributing to a difference, other than an actual bug:
LR Previews are stored as AdobeRGB JPGs, so Library previews go from LR-Internal color profile to AdobeRGB to Display color profile, whereas Develop previews go directly from LR-Internal color profile to Display color profile. If there are some colors that are outside of AdobeRGB then some conversion may occur. The conversion to 8-bit JPG is also probably adding banding that Develop wouldn’t show. There might also be Relative vs Perceptual color profile conversion differences occurring. I don’t know the specifics of which is used for the Adobe color profile conversion and whether what you’re seeing is outside the expected variations.
If you view at less than 1:1/100% zoom, especially with Fit or Fill, then small details that vary across the group of original image pixels that are displayed as one display pixel can be averaged differently due to differences in the downsampling algorithms used between computing Library file previews and computing Develop display previews where Develop’s is built for speed because it occurs in real-time after every slider movement, where Library previews are computed in the background and so can use a more accurate resampling algorithm. Usually this is only a difference in sharp/smoothness but it can also manifest as a difference in tone if there are lots of tiny noise spots getting averaged together inaccurately in Develop or more accurately in Library.
Since I can see only a tiny difference between Library and Develop on my monitor in this particular example, I can't imagine that small difference is enough to reject the Library version and accept the Develop version. Maybe you're seeing others with more differences?

Application is not displaying correctly and is showing as incomplete

please i really need help i am not understanding this at all i need to send them as pdf files because there application forms I have an issue when it comes to sending the pdf files to someone else and they open the file to then tell me that the text on your application is not displaying correctly and is showing as incomplete.

If statement within a view is not working correctly ?

Hi all,
maybe i am wrong but i think the if statement within a view is not working correctly. See code down below.
I would like to use the Hallo World depending on the page attribute isFrame with or without all the neccessary html tags. Therefore i have embedded the htmlb tags in an if statement. But for any reason if isframe is initial it isn't working. It would be great if anybody could help me.
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<% if not isframe is initial. %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
     <htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
<% endif. %>
hallo world
<% if not isframe is initial. %>
     </htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
<% endif. %>
thanks in advance and best regards
Matthias Hlubek

Matthias,
The short answer: your example is <b>NOT</b> going to work. The long answer will probably 5 pages to describe. So first let me rewrite the example so that it could work, and then give a short version of the long answer. Do not be disappointed if it is not totally clear. It is rather complicated. (See the nice form of IF statements that are possible since 620.)
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<% if isframe is <b>NOT</b> initial. %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
    hallo world
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
<% else. %>
hallo world
<% endif. %>
So why does your example not work? Let us start with a simple tag:
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
</htmlb:page>
Now, for each tag, we have effectively the opening part (<htmlb:page>), an optional body, and then the closing part (</htmlb:page>). We are now at the level of the BSP runtime processing one tag. What the runtime does not know, is whether the tag wants to process its body or not. Each tag can decide dynamically at runtime whether the body should be processed. So the BSP compiler generates the following code:
DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
CREATE OBJECT tag.
tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
ENDIF.
tag->DO_AT_END( ).
You should actually just debug your BSP code at ABAP level, and then you will immediately see all of this. Now, let us mix in your example with our code generation. First you simplified example:
<% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
<% endif. %>
<% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
</htmlb:page>
<% endif. %>
And then with our generated code. Look specifically at how the IF/ENDIF blocks suddenly match!
if isframe is NOT initial.
DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
CREATE OBJECT tag.
tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
endif.
if isframe is NOT initial.
ENDIF.
tag->DO_AT_END( ).
endif.
You can see that your ENDIF statements are closing IF blocks generated by the BSP compiler. Such a nesting will not work. This is a very short form of the problem, there are a number of variations, and different types of the same problem.
The only way to solve this problem, is probably to put the body into a page fragment and include it like I did above with the duplicate HelloWorld strings. But this duplicates source code. Better is to put body onto a view, that can be processed as required.

Twitter Bootstrap not displaying correctly in Live View in DW CS4

I am having a problem with Twitter Bootstrap templates not displaying correctly in Live View in Dreamweaver CS4. They look more correct with Live View turned off than on. When I turn Live View on, it looks as if it's not finding a style sheet or something, but they are all href'ed properly. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi kooshetty,
Did you preview the site in various browsers and check the display? You are using an older version of DW, and I am not sure if the Webkit engine supports bootstrap code.
Thanks,

Why is the map not displaying correctly on "find my phone" I am getting large grid squares on the map

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It means that it is not connected to the Internet, so it may be turned off. Another option would be that somebody has resetted it to default settings and has changed the Apple ID, being impossible to track your son's iPhone. Anyway, report it to the police because it is the only thing you can do at the moment

Websites not displayed correctly

Hi,
since i updated to Safari 6.0.2, many websites are not displayed correctly anymore. instead of pictures i see a blue question mark, sometimes the whoe layout is a mess. this concerns multiple websites, alse like facebook or youtube. when i refresh, it mostly orks, so i think it´s not a plugin-issue
Curiously, also in Mail, some Emails are not displayed correctly.
Thank´s for any suggestions or ideas how to solve that.
Christoph

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
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.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, 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. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Permissions are not displaying correctly on Yosemite server

My file and folder permissions are not displaying correctly on my Yosemite server when viewed from a Yosemite client.
I have set these permissions from the server app on the server and have added local network groups for the appropriate folders on the share. When checked from the server's finder, everything looks correct. The server is setup for both AFP and SMB on file sharing. I have also tried setting permissions from the server's finder and seemed to make no difference.
When logged into from local or VPN Yosemite clients using AFP, the permissions do not show anything but postgres user and everyone group. Even though they should have network groups such as skoogfinancial, skoogmarketing, etc.
The server does seem to enforce the permissions correctly though a user cannot get into folders he does not have permissions for.
Therefore, it seems the server is enforcing correctly, but a user may not understand what is going on as the permissions list doesn't list anything meaningful.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
