Images turn pink when not at original size in Mountain Lion

Hi. My wife and I both have mac book pros running Mountain Lion (10.8.5). When viewing images both online and in PDFs, the images change such that they are overlayed with a semi-transparent pink rectangle.  Is this an issue with my Adobe programs or an apple bug? I have found no mention of this problem using google. Thanks.

Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -g CGContextHighlight2xScaledImages
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in 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.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

  • When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, how can I upgrade?

    When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS form Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, what is causing this problem, how can I find a solution, is someone else having this problem?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

  • Apple apps not displaying properly in virtual Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    I have 13" MacBook Pro 2.4 that came with Snow Leopard. I have found that it does not perform really well with Mountain Lion (although 8GB RAM and 7200rpm HD) so I decided to switch back to SL. I also own Parallels and it lets me use the ML download image to set up a new virtual os, which I can then use to run iBooks Author.
    However, iBooks Author and iWork apps do not render in virtual ML. In the attached screenshots, you can see that the interface is there, but the content of the application is not showing up. Other applications like Safari perform just fine. So far, only iBA and iWork apps are affected.(Screenshots are from Parallels so they are of the virtual os)
    I know this is a virtual ML issue cause I have ML on a separate partition that works just fine when booted into it. I am assuming this is a graphic card specific issue, where Parallels is unable to match the hardware graphics exactly.
    I'd be happy to receive your comments and feedback to find a remedy to this situation, as I do not want to switch between partitions just to use iBooks Author.
    Best regards

    This issue extends to other Apple apps like Preview, which will not render when run in virtualization.  I use Snow Leopard virtualized in Lion and I always make sure I use Preview in Lion and not virtualized Snow Leopard.
    I believe this issue is discussed on the Parallels support forum, but with no satisfactory solution for now...
    They may also balk at offering you support as they do not officially support virtualizing Mt. Lion in Parallels in Snow Leopard.  I may have raised the issue on their support forum suggesting the problem was in virtualizing Snow Leopard Server in Lion, which they do officially support.
    Try a search of the Parallels Support forum...
    You could partition your hard drive and install Mountain Lion in that partition (or use an external hard drive) and use the "dual-boot" method as a workaround to your problem.  Of course, in this situation, you lose the ability to run Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion concurrently.
    Finally, you could reinstall Mt. Lion and then run Snow Leopard in Parallels, but it seems from your comments that this suggestion will not work for you.  This solution is primarily for those Lion/Mt. Lion users who need concurrent use of PowerPC applications requiring Rosetta:

  • Cisco Connect does not run with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    When I first installed Cisco Connect that came with my E1500 router, I was running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.7) and it worked fine.  I upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion and now when I start Cisco Connect, I get:
    Unsupported operating system
    The router software supports these operating systems:
    - Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.7 or later
    I saw some other thread/info/download on Cisco Connect with Lion (10.7) but nothing for Moutain Lion (10.8) - is there a fix forthcoming?
    Thanks
    Gary

    All i want to do is disable the guest function through cisco. i live in an apartment and everyone logs into my guest account. i was at my neighbours and they were laughing saying they done need to subscribe for the internet cause they just log onto local wi fi. and mine is one of them. i dont know if that'll slow down my internet with so many people using it. but all i want to do is just avoid it all together and get rid of it. but in this case i am having the same problem as all of you. to disable the guest function you need to go through cisco connect and it is not compatible with mac osx mountain lion. grrrrrrr

    After upgrade to Mountain Lion, Skype, Photobooth and etc can't detect iSight.

    I tried the SMC option for my Mac (version details below)...but this still didn't solve my problem.
    Model Name:

      Model Identifier:
    MacBook7,1
      Processor Name:

      SMC Version (system):

    Enabled
    In fact when I check under "About this Mac ==> More Info ==> System Report ==> Hardware ==> USB"
    this is what I see:
    -> USB Bus
          -> BRCM2070 Hub
                 Bluetooth Host USB Controller
              Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad
          -> USB Bus
          -> USB High-speed Bus
          -> USB High-speed Bus
    I find it hard to beleieve that the OSX Mountain Lion upgrade (from OSX Lion) can conk the camera hardware. All softwares such as Skype, Facetime, Image Capture show "No camera detected" after the OSX Mountain Lion upgrade. All of these were working perfectly fine before the upgrade.
    Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!

    You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
    That is not true.
    Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

  • Why my smart folders dissapear in mail when i close mail application in mountain lion?

    Why my smart folders dissapear in mail when i close mail application in mountain lion?
    Please help!

    My results jumped up from around 1000 to 10,000 when I did that.
    I think this may have to do with having x11 and xcode installed.
    In case anyone is interested, these are the folders I've had to exclude:
    User\Library\Developer
    System\Library\Frameworks
    opt in the root folder of the HD (this is x11. You may have to Finder's 'go to folder' option to get to it.)
    There was also Office stuff coming up which looks like it's from the system when you see it (the identities folder and the subfolder within the Office 2011 folder in Applications)
    The combination of this stuff seemed to create the impression of more files from the System and Library folders were coming up than actually were.
    In case anyone is still reading, the stuff *still* being thrown up that I'm aware of is
    Mountain Lion screensavers from the System and Library folders.
    PreferencePanes - System, PreferencePanes - User and PreferencePanes - Library folders, which each show up as individual results.
    But, as you say, bispymusic, perhaps Apple has deigned that those folders appear in results. Thanks a lot for your help! Have a good one.
