IE 6 & 7 layour problems: Usual Suspect.

Well I say usual suspect but I guess that might be user error!
This is my problem page:
martcol.co.uk/brightontherapyservice/news/
The sidebar won't play properly.
On other pages the sidebar sits where it should. This is a WordPress site and I think that the problem comes because each of the two pages responds differently to the loop but I don't understand that so well. I just can't see really what the difference is between the two pages that is making this happen and if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
It's under development of course so there may be some ragged stuff around but what I am focusing on at the moment is that sidebar.
Thanks
Martin

Right, ok. Are many using this at the moment?
The progressive HTML5-ers are using shiv files or some description.
Is it completely without any issues if we move from html 4 to 5 now then?
I'm sure shiv files have their limitations but most reports/blog I see online are reporting good results (or they're not howling loudly about bad results).
Only one issue for me then DWCS4. Don't think its worth the upgrade to DW5.5 at the moment needed to be able to see html 5 in design view. Probably wait for DW6 and get up to speed with html5 in the meantime as I don't fully know the new tags yet

CUA - Looking for the Usual Suspects

I was out a couple of days and when I got back our basis person told me that while I was gone they tried unsuccessfully to do some client copies and, oh, by the way, CUA is down.
The clients do not have a "New User" button, but no updates occur when changes are made in the central system, not even with RSCCUSND.
I plan on stepping through all the steps of the set-up, which I haven't done for three years, but I wondered if there are "usual suspects" I should look at first and maybe save some time.
Thanks,
Leo

It seems as if the usual suspects have already told you what happened
In the wiki you will find a best practice procedure => [Best practice - How to perform a client copy when CUA is active|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Security/Bestpractice-HowtoperformaclientcopywhenCUAisactive]

Firefox 11 starts automatically at login - usual suspects eliminated

How do I stop Firefox 11 from starting automatically on login? It starts automatically on one of the user accounts on my less-than-week-old Mac Air (OS X 10.7.3) is started, but not the other. I have investigated the usual suspects and found none of them guilty:
1. The options associated with the icon do NOT have “Open at Login” checked;
2. The Login Items for this user does NOT include a Firefox entry;
3. Some have suggested a PopClip link, but I’ve not installed that;
4. Some have found Firefox installed in an old installation of TOR Browser/Vidalia, but I haven’t installed that either;
5. It is not an issue with the “Reopen windows when logging back in” option on the logout screen – it opens whether the box is checked or not and whether Firefox is open or not at logout;
6. System Preferences -> General -> “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps” is NOT checked.
Any ideas?

When Firefox starts, does it load any particular URL? I'm wondering if some other app that starts on login is trying to open some URL, which triggers Firefox to start. You could verify this by changing your default browser to Safari and seeing if Safari starts on login instead of Firefox.

Which component on the BL illumnator board is the "usual suspect"

Hi, I have been looking for a thread I read a while ago about repairing the back light illuminator board on a 17" Apple LCD.
In the thread it was mentioned that a certain component on the board was the "usual suspect" and that it was not too hard to repair.
In addition, what is the metal type tape that sticks the cover to the chassis called? is it critical as the adhesive value of mine is poor and the tape is ripped in places.
I wonder if anyone can help with either the components identity or a link to the original thread, I have trawled for hours but cannot rediscover it.
Many thanks.
Robert

Hello David,
One possible solution would be to ping the ENET box. If you know the IP of the box, a simple ping should immediatly let you know the status of the box.

Wireless drop out problems - usual stuff

Hi, I am new to this forum and have used some of your suggestions to help me.. so thanks everyone....however
we still have problems and we are now getting pretty fed up.
I am not technical so bear with me..
We have 2 wireless lap tops and 1 pc connected to our Home Hub 1.0 another pc is connected by ethernet cable.
Over months now the wireless connection has dropped and, at worst, has taken hours of fiddling, resetting of the Home Hub to work.   Occasionally even sitting directly in front of the home hub, my laptop and the HH cannot find each other. The wierd thing is that whilst I can't get my own connection working I could (until I opted out) get BT Fon and Openzone also looks available when I can't get any connection. Since it looks like it is also be shared from my broadband I am not happy.
I have changed the channel a couple of times from the 1 setting it was on to 11 (problems again) to 6 now (too early to tell).   Is there anything more I can do? (Can't move the HH from front of the house and it is on a shelf not the floor).   The fix is usually for a short time however. I have talked to the Help Desk and they have tested the line and told me to move the Hub to the centre of the house, which is simply not possible owing to telephone sockets ets.
Would some sort of wireless repeater help, in which case - which one would be compatible with HH1?   Is Openzone and BTFon 'stealing' connectivity in some way.
Thanks for your thoughts in anticipation. Epona.

Are your wireless card drivers up to date?

Why does my iMac keep waking up (I've checked the usual suspects)?

Starting a couple of weeks after I got my new iMac (3.4 GHz Core i7) -- so about two or three weeks ago -- it started spontaneously waking from sleep (or turning on its screen, if it wasn't asleep), every few minutes. I can't figure out why.
I've checked to see if there are spurious input sources, and as far as I can tell, there aren't.
Wake on Network Access is turned off (even though I actually would prefer it to be on, I've turned it off while trying to sort this out.
I don't have, as far as I can tell, any new apps or tools installed that would be waking it up.
If I quit all my applications, it doesn't seem to affect anything.
The wake reason string when I search logs is "EHC1". That doesn't tell me much.
Any ideas on what else I can check?

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
Step 2
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
Step 3
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
Step 5
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode and log in. 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).
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.
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. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

When I download photos, I right click on the photo, then "save as", the browse opens and I select a folder. I then have a number of problems usually only one at a time:

sometimes they come in a zip file, which I really don't know what to do with, so I have unzipped it to a picture folder which leaves an entire folder within a folder. That also leaves an empty zip folder in my pictures.
The craziest thing and most unwanted as well, is that although I have downloaded only a specific file, the folder fills with photos that I have only looked at in my browser...tons of them! Most are unrelated to each other as well as viewed on different dates.
Sometimes, the file extension is an unknown file type to me at times (sorry can't find an example).
I have only tried to download pictures from FaceBook to date.
I apologize for not understanding some computer basics - which probably are the causes of most of these problems. I have read most of the literature for Firefox, but a lot is above me.
I really hope that you can help me and that my LONG description and information is just a pain.
Thanks in advance

Work this one out.. 5c not charging but not usual suspects

This is my girlfriends daughter's iPhone 5c, was a new handset from Apple end of last year but near the end of previous year warranty so isn't in warranty. Phone has never been abused and is mint.
One day it just stopped charging. Plugged it into another Apple charger, nothing. Searched online and assumed power socket was faulty. Took the phone to a repair shop and they said it charged ok on their charger. Got home, nothing went back to the shop.. They tried their charger and it would very slowly charge. They tried it on OE chargers, other makes etc and nothing! They also tried two new charging ports in the phone and it was still the same, they said the battery was not to blame. It would only charge on this one specific charger which is a cheap dedicated charger. So bought this cheap charger and the phone would charge after a very long time and the battery drains in a couple of hours to nothing. Fast forward to last night when she broke this dedicated charger (keeps breaking where she pulls the lead not the plug!)
This charger that will work is 0.1amp. isn't that low?
now now last week I ordered a new battery to try that, just fitted it and nothing! Still the same.
The charger it works in must be the key here. I looked inside the cable and it's just two wires so I'm wondering if it's something to do with the data part of the lightning cable effecting it charging some how.
the amount of cables she has gone through is amazing, every one is kinked near the lighting connector and looks like she stands the phone on the cable when charging and also pulls it out by the cable. Obviously she doesn't do any of that as you can imagine a teenage girl wouldn't!
ofcourse now I can't even charge it on this other charger because she's broken that too!
I'm now wondering with the fact it only charged with this two wire charger whether a previous broken cable has shoffer something in the phone and caused damage that way? It's something to do with the difference between a dated cable and just this dedicated charging cable showing up the issue. If this phone shop hadn't had the dedicated charger it'd never started charging before.
The shop have washed their hands of it and said they have never known an issue like it!

You have tried a new cable? It's unclear how many you have that are damaged but a damaged cable can cause shorting which will prevent charging. If the cable is used for an extended period it could damage a charger or phone.
If you can get it working you may want to coat the lead in sugru.
https://sugru.com/about
It could give it extra support around the lightning connector, or you could create a larger connector to allow her to remove it without tugging on the wire - a sure way to destroy Apple cables.
I think you should probably take it to Apple, they will be able to tell you what is failing or charge you for a replacement which may be a better option than assuming what parts have failed. If you can't get it working with 'known good' leads & chargers all you can do is assume the phone is faulty (possibly the battery or port is damaged). You can purchase replacement parts & try fitting them yourself but it is often better to get it exchanged with one from Apple.

Problems ripping with an external DVD Burner

Hello Everyone,
Recently I purchased a Liteon External DVD Burner off of newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106011) -- It's a Liteon SHW-1635SX -- I bought this because the DVD-ROM drive thats in my tower natively is REALLY slow and I wanted to get a new one that I could use with a laptop that I`m going to purchase in the future. Whenever I try to rip a CD into iTunes using the burner, It says that it's ripping the disk, however it doesn't spin up the cd and it takes about 2 seconds to "rip" all the songs. I know this drive is soposed to be faster than my old one, But two seconds is a little TOO fast. Plus, I know that it's not copying the songs because when I try to listen to them in my library, the song won't play. (Under time it says "789:54..." for all the songs on the cd, in my library) However, the burner rips perfectly in Windows Media Player... Is this perhaps some kind of glitch with iTunes??? Basicly, the only way I can rip a CD into iTunes is to use my old DVDROM drive, but that defeats the purpose... below is the CD Diagnostic log that I got from iTunes::::::::

hi Aric!
hmmm. we'd better check on the usual suspects with that. (the incredibly long song times can also be associated with these sorts of causes.)
You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
... and the following resources might be helpful with that. (check on firmware and drivers even though it's a brand new unit.)

10.5.8 Server, Amavisd 2.6.4 crahing perl, with BerkeleyDB Problem

By searching the interwebs and discussions here didn't find a solution that worked for me yet.
System Details: Quad intel Xserve, 10.5.8 Server (Security Update 2009-005 not yet applied.)
Seems to have started this night around 2am.
Amavisd-new 2.6.4 will not accept transport anymore. Logs the well known
Sep 16 15:23:00 mail postfix/qmgr[3853]: warning: connect to transport smtp-amavis: Connection refused
Sep 16 15:23:12 mail deliver[3869]: connect(/var/imap/socket/lmtp) failed: Connection refused
messages to the log.
Tried rebuilding amasid-new and all the needed perl modules. CPAN worked well, yet perl seems to crash anytime amavisd will access a BerkelyDB from cyrus.
SMTP in seems to work fine, SMTP out as well, transport from postfix to cyrus via amavisd is still broken. My own user account can send and even receive mails without a problem, which stumps me a little. I only have that user for testing purposes, so it doesn't carry any amount of email beyond test mails, counting less than 100 messages.
I have already checked for privileges and quota problems with the .db.
Repairing the Database with ServerAdmin hasn't helped, as did a reconstruct with ServerAdmin. I'm still trying to avoid full mailbox rebuilds. I'd prefer rebuilding only the problematic mailboxes and not all mailboxes to have a few as possible users with all their unread status reset.
For a quick fix, I'd like to be able to deliver mails to the users boxes so they get their mails for the moment, seems they are able to send without problems. This should buy me a little more time until I can fix it all properly.
Turning off Spam and Virus filtering doesn't help the delivery, which I expected it would. doesn't this time.
How can I find out which user's mailboxes are corrupted so I can only completely rebuild the ones really needed? I'm willing to jump through substantial hoops to prevent the need to do a full server mailbox rebuild. (ca. 90GB of mails in total… would take a looong time and upset the users.)
I can test everything and can of course provide any more details you might need to help me.
This setup is quite modified from Apple's stock setup mostly following pterobyte's excellent recommendations and tutorials for improvement.
Best regards
Pepi
This is what the mail system logs when starting up:
Clearly there is a problem with the cyrus databases which seem to cause amavisd/perl to crash.

Hi Alex,
thanks for chiming in!
I'm quite confident, that nobody installed BerkeleyDB at 2am on that server. Neither on purpose nor accidentally.
Just for the record… the usual suspects have be checked as well:
I've checked the filesystem, and it seems to be ok.
I've repaired privileges, and they seem to be ok.
I've used mailbfr to rebuild each and every mailbox. (-m)
I've used mailbfr to repair mail system privs and quota. (-o, -q)
The system has plenty of freespace on all drives.
Additional info about the current behavior:
I've turned off virus and spam filtering for the moment. Mails can be sent and do get delivered for all the accounts I've tested. The ones that are already in the queue do not get delivered. I've even tried to manually flush the queue, though postfix usually never needs that and know best when to do what. Anyway it didn't convince postfix to deliver the queued mails.

I've already rebuilt amavisd-new 2.6.4 and ClamAV 0.95.2 (with your extras) then rebootet. As expected, the cyrus problems remain. Perl is still crashing as soon as amavisd or ClamAV shall start. Mail delivery directly to cyrus without filtering seems to work fine at the moment. Queued mails stay where they are and do not get delivered.

Illustrator CC 2014.1.1 problems

Since I did download the new update CC 2014 I have had few annoying problems. I have HP Compaq Pro 6300 MT, Win 7 Prof (Service pack 1), Intel Core i5-3470 CPU 3.20GHz, RAM 20 Gt, 64-bit.
Copy / paste with ctrl+c and ctrl+v:
Does not mostly work. Only when I copy text or plain vector graphics, small ones. If I try to copy jgp/tiff file or whole artwork on artboard, it starts run "not responding"....and if it stops and I move the mouse, it will start again "not responding". Have to close the program and start again.
Copy / paste with edit/copy:
Does not always work either. See above.
Opening/placing file/s from network into Illustrator: When choosing the needed files, the system freezes. After a while the needed files may show as chosen.
Crashing: Sometimes when I close a screen in Illustrator.... it crashes the whole Illustrator.
So.... is this something to with Windows, my computer not "powerfull" enough.... or is it just me.....?
Have a happy workday....!!

Porkkana,
Concerning files from network, it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-support-networks-removable-media.html
Concerning the other issues, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Illustrator CC Rotate Tool Problem

So I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem, but it seems I'm having issues with the accuracy of the rotate tool in Illustrator CC. When I rotate an object 90 degrees (either by entering in the rotate angle value or using the free rotate tool), the anchors no longer line up exactly. Here's a sample image showing what I'm referring to:
Note the red arrow pointing to the line not being straight. After I release the rotation (holding shift), it still isn't straight. Anyway, this is really starting to bug me. My software is up-to-date and I haven't seen Adobe release anything on this. Has anyone else noticed/encountered this? If so, does anyone know of a fix for it?

dj,
It does look rather strange: everything seems to be right, except for the two short not quite horizontal segments.
As far as I can see it rules out both an Align to Pixel Grid and a Constrain Angle issue.
With no clue, I have no clue whether the following may help.

Save For Web transparency problem: Overprint & CMYK documents

OK, I had a weird problem crop up today (as far as I can tell) completely out of the blue.
When I am working in overprint preview mode in a CMYK document, and I attempt to save an artboard as a PNG w/ transparency (via Save for Web), illustrator forces a white background throughout the image. It didn't do this until this morning. Yesterday, it was working perfectly normally. I put the computer to sleep at the end of the day, woke it up this morning, and for some reason this behavior has changed.
It does not do this if the document is in RGB mode, or I have the transparency grid shown, or not in overprint preview mode. (I work in this mode because for some reason having it in standard preview shows very strange artifacts when working with raster effects, which drives me crazy)
I'm on a Mid 2014 MBP Retina, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 w/ NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048MB, running illustrator CC 2014.1.1.
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting the computer, resetting all settings, as well as changing document settings, and editing artboard settings. And yes, the transparency checkbox is checked in the Save For Web dialog.
Any ideas?

brnscreative,
Have you tried 4) and 6) on the list?
4) is more thorough than 3), and 6) is the full reinstallation.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.

2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);

https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Vague problem description, looking for hints

Hello,
I am maintaining several Swing based apps, written by a number of different people (different generations, skills and knowledge) of which most of them are gone already. There's this user reported bug which clearly describes his problem, but as it occurs intermittently, is so for impossible for me to reproduce. (I guess I could leave it at that, not reproduced).
While a JFrame is showing JTabbedPane with several tabs, some work is being done on a fresh Thread. That thread may occasionally (in error/unexpected situations) pop up a dialog using JOptionPane.confirmDialog. The reported problem is that the text in the pop up is at times not visible while a specific tab in the frame is visible, the problem "never" occurs while other tabs are active. Of course the tab that is related to the problem is one which holds a component for which paintComponent() is custom.
Clearly this is a messy situation. I hoped that describing it would clarify something for myself and if not, any one of you could offer me hints and experiences where to start looking.
So far (being unable to reproduce and see "it" happen) I have taken the angle of hunting for usual suspects in the code: Threading, EDT, paint() vs repaint() but I am sort of at the end of my list.
Thanks in advance.

It could be an exception as you suggest:
One thing I found so far is a ConcurrentModificationException on an AWT thread. Our code causing it has been corrected in that respect: the paintComponent iterated a List while other threads would try to clear or add to that same List. My solution is to take a local snapshot of the now SynchonizedList before passing the local list to the paint.     As i still am unable to reproduce the problem, I cannot confirm this "fixed" it. Do we know that if the paint thread excepts (on the said Concurrent mod exception, CME), all pending paints will be lost? If so, it is quite likely the cause of the user problem: both my custom paint panel and the dialog have a repaint pending, the repaint starts executing and exepts in the custom paint with the CME and the dialog never receives the text.
If the above is a valid scenario, would the following then work? If the user sees an empty Dialog, move the dialog around such that it becomes hidded or resize it to cause a repaint and then see the text appear?
I wrote this SSCE for the scenario above, but it does not give the problem. This may mean that program is just not good enough, although I altered the flow and timings to provoke Swing/AWT several times. Or perhaps the problem disappeared since we switched to JRE 1.6.0.17 (I believe at the time of reporting, we were still 1.5 something).

Image files email and upload problem

Emails I send through mail are arriving very compressed. However when I try to upload them onto my webspace they are expanding.
For example a jpeg 600 x 600px, at a resolution of 72ppi and a file size of 308kb:
When emailed through Mail it arrives as 240 x 240px, at a resolution of 72pp and a file size of 92kb
When emailed through my webmail (Virgin) it arrives at the original dimensions and file size
When uploaded to my webspace using Cyberduck it expands from 308kb to 4GB and an estimated upload time of 18 hours!
The larger the original file size, the worse the email problem, but the upload remains at around 4GB.
I suspect that somehow the file is being compressed on arrival because it has expanded as it is being emailed or uploaded.
My webspace provider says it isn't a problem their end. As things are ok through my Virgin webmail I don't think it can be them - though they are the usual suspects.

When you email an image in Mail, set the Image Size pop-up in the lower right-hand corner of the window to "Actual Size".

IE 6 & 7 layour problems: Usual Suspect.
