Improbable fix for some Adobe PrePro problems

I'm not advertising here, but I have run into a few strange problems with my new CS5 Pre Pro program. Things as strange as main features greyed out (when they weren't that way last load), unable to render, mouse cursor missing. WOW - picky little program that PrePro.
By using a registry cleaner (in this case RegServe), I've actually solved PrePro problems. Not all PrePro problems are fixable by cleaning my registry, but some quirky ones get resolved.

Highly likely, yes.
The operating system is as imperfect as the systems it operates (darn - that's almost quotable)

Fixes for some transform effects problems.
- We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
- A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
- A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

Wireless Problems: Observations/Possible Fix for Some (No Guarantees)

Hi All:
I have been following our wireless problem threads. To a large extent, they revolve around lost connections, weak signals, etc. On my machine, I previously noticed what appeared to be wide fluctuations in signal strength, although I could almost always pick up one distant network that has to be at least 125' away regardless of my apparent signal strength. Also, I never lost my connection. I also have noticed that my Windows notebooks pick up more networks than my MBP, even though some must be farther away than 125'.
Recently, I had to reinstall all my software. Once resolved I'll explain why and what to look out for. Anyway, before the reinstall, I had done all updates. When I reinstalled, I also did all updates. The bottom line is that I have not seen the wide fluctuations in signal strength since reinstalling. Sometimes I see more networks than I am used to seeing.
Am I suggesting that you reinstall to eliminate the types of problems mentioned above? Definitely not especially if your problem is pretty minor. However, if your problem is significant, then think about it. Perhaps a greater than expected number of partially bad factory installs accounts for some of our problems.
I finished my reinstall only about 24 hours ago. I'll continue to monitor and will post back if I begin to see the wide signal strength fluctuations again.

Nope, thanks. I certainly advocate all trying any possible fixes prior to taking the drastic step of reinstalling. Hope the update works for all. I must of installed it yesterday with a number of other updates. Thus, it wasn't what "fixed" my system. But, it looks like it didn't hurt it either. Both are good to know:) Gosh, and looking at some of the recent posts in this category, I am glad that none of the recent updates hosed anything on my machine. Then, I'd me reinstalling again and being more selective about the updates.
I have to admit I have been throwing caution to the wind on doing all the updates. I think I'd better go back to my old style of seeing if there are update rumblings before I install them.

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?
On every restart, AutoPairs and Epson Event Manager asks me to reject or agree to allow incoming connections. It is very aggravating and time-wasting. I know other Mac users who have the identical problem with other applications on their Macs.
Isn't there some way to make my Mac understand that "Yes" means "Yes" once and for all?
I am presently running Yosemite, but this was a problem with prior OS X versions too.
Respectfully,
Nate

This is a comment on why you might, or might not, want to use the built-in Application Firewall.
The firewall blocks incoming network traffic, regardless of origin, on a per-application basis. By default it's off, and when turned on, it allows applications digitally signed by Apple, and only those applications, to listen on the network. It does not block outgoing traffic, nor can it distinguish between different sources of incoming traffic, nor does it filter traffic by content.
No matter how it's configured, the firewall is not, as some imagine, a malware filter. If that's what you expect it to do, forget it. All it will do is bombard you with pointless alerts.
Consider some scenarios in which you may expect the firewall to be useful.
1. You enable file sharing, and you allow guest access to certain folders. That means you want people on your local network, but not outsiders, to be able to access those shared folders without having to enter a password. In the default configuration, the firewall will allow that to happen. The router prevents outsiders from accessing the shares, whether the application firewall is on or off. But if your computer is portable and you connect it to an untrusted network such as a public hotspot, the firewall will still allow access to anyone, which is not what you want. It does not protect you in this scenario.
2. You unknowingly install a trojan that steals your data and uploads it to a remote server. The firewall, no matter how it's configured, will not block that outgoing traffic. It does nothing to protect you from that threat.
3. A more likely scenario: The web browser or the router is compromised by an attacker. The attack redirects all web traffic to a bogus server. The firewall does not protect you from this threat.
4. You're running a public web server. Your router forwards TCP connection requests on port 80 to your Mac, and the connections are accepted by the built-in web server, which is codesigned by Apple. The application firewall, still configured as above, allows this to happen. An attacker hacks into the system and tries to hijack port 80 and replace the built-in web server with one that he controls. The good news here is that the firewall does protect you; it blocks incoming connections to the malicious server and alerts you. But the bad news is that you've been rooted. The attacker who can do all this can just as easily turn off the firewall, in which case it doesn't protect you after all.
5. You're running a Minecraft server on the local network. It listens on a high-numbered port. You, as administrator, have reconfigured the firewall to pass this traffic. An attacker is able to log in to a standard account on the server. He figures out how to crash Minecraft, or he just waits for you to quit it, and then he binds his own, malicious, Minecraft server to the same port. The firewall blocks his server, and because he's not an administrator, he can't do anything about it. In this scenario, the security is genuine.
6. Here is a more realistic scenario in which you might have reason to enable the firewall. Your MacBook has sharing services enabled. You want those services to be available to others on a home or office network. When you're on those networks, the firewall should be off. When you move to an untrusted network, you can either turn off all the services, or enable the firewall with a non-default configuration to block them. Blocking is easier: one click instead of several.

Possible fix for some dlink routers with wifi issues

I found something online that stated that if you turn off a feature called WMM that it can help or fix some wifi issues, and on my dlink dir-268 it seems to be working. Now without this feature turned off I could connect to my wifi but not much else, with it off I have checked websites online and also for the first time been able to download a 300MB+ file. I dont know if it is still used on the newer dlink routers but it could be at least a temp fix for some. For my router it is located under the advanced/ advanced wireless settings
Please post your results if you find this feature on your router, and list what model you have and if it worked so if it fixes problems for enough people mabe we can let dlink know of this find. could help in getting a fix out for the router firm ware or mabe even the android os.

Wouldn't really be a fix... more a workaround. However...
Both my Plus account, and a free test account I set up, don't have reliable push... so I think the problem is a little more complex than this.
While there has been a theory that free accounts work (which I have not experienced), I don't think Apple or Yahoo have ever stated that push was only intended to work for free accounts...

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
     - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
     - Set location to Automatic
     - Click Apply
     - Click Advanced
     - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
     - Click Apply
     - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
     - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
     - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
Turn off your computer
     - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
     - turn on computer
     - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
     - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
     - this resets your PRAM
Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
     - click Choose a Network
     - Select your network and enter password
Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

     No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
     I called Apple Support and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
Cheers.

[svn] 1313: Fix for the use namespace problems we've been having with ASC ( I hope).

Fix for the use namespace problems we've been having with ASC (I hope). The problem was that the use directive was being defined after we had called finish package. The UseDirectiveNode has a pkgdef ptr, and does different things depending if that ptr is null or not. It should not be null when the UseDirective is inside the package - but since we were generating the UseDirectiveNode after we had called finishPackage the UseDirectiveNode didn't have it's pkgdef ptr set, and so things went awry as the package didn't get set up with all the correct open namespaces. I haven't tested this in authoring/flex but I am pretty sure that this will fix all the problems we're seeing.

Possible Fix for Disc Image Creation Problems

I've noticed a number of posts describing problems similar to the one I had: with my first session with iDVD5, I tried creating an .img disc image (thanks to Apple, btw, for building that function in -- and for the new progress bars!), but it hung up all night long on the "Burn" task, and I had to force quit, leaving me with no image at all.
I used disk image burning exclusively in iDVD4, because it allowed me to preview the result before committing it to a physical burn and prevented coaster-burning if something went wrong. I had had buffer problems when burning directly from iDVD -- but never with Disk Utility.
Of course, in iDVD4, you cannot just burn a disk image using the app. Most are aware that using "Hurz" and "Pfurz" (see posts under iDVD4) provided a great workaround, however, and that's what I used.
Well, it occurred to me that perhaps Hurz and Pfurz -- which basically interfered with iDVD4 to the user's advantage -- ought NOT to be in play with iDVD5. So I removed them from my user folder, et voila -- the very next time I tried the disk image function in iDVD5 (with the same project), it worked perfectly.
But I can only SUSPECT that this was the solution, unfortunately, because of the fact that an automated maintenance script had repaird my permissions in the meantime. The problem might have been permission troubles resulting from installation.
I do know this: removing Hurz and Pfurz and repairing the permissions worked for me. Hope it does for some others as well!

Thanks, Len. I kind of wish Apple would make a bigger deal of this. Repairing permissions fixes ALL KINDS OF THINGS! And it is a VERY good idea to do it regularly.
Like you, I do it once a week, using a wonderful freeware utililty called Onyx (search MacWorld or Google for it), which has a number of advantages over Disk Utility.
In the first place, it will execute all the maintenance scripts as well. You might know that OSX has a number of scripts it runs in the background for maintenance, some daily, some weekly, and some monthly. But they are generally set to run late at night, which means you need to leave the computer ON and AWAKE. I don't do this as much as I should, so running Onyx ensures that these scripts get run. Since using Onyx, I have NEVER had a crash.
Secondly, I can schedule it to do all this automatically, which is great - because I'm getting old . . . and I forget things. . . .

Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out there who've discovered this dillema with wireless not working very well at this point on the Macbook.
Well, I can attest there is one very good solution out there for this issue. This application called Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.
I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more issues with dropped wireless since - it's been running constantly for over 2 weeks now.
I haven't even attempted to touch my router configuration - don't need to.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.
I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.
The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,

happy mac-ing!

An easy fix for some iTunes Match glitches

I found that some cover art would not display on my iPhone, even though the same album would show cover art on my iMac and on the MacMini, from which it was uploaded to iCloud. Other problems occurred, too weird to describe here.
Investigating the problem, I found that this was caused by some "stuck" sync attempts, trying to download songs from iCloud to the iPhone.
Fix:
1. disable iTunes Match on the iPhone.
2. Delete all music from the iPhone (right swipe, click delete)
3. some music will remain and can neither be downloaded nor deleted. These are the "stuck" items that cause the problems.
4. Attach iPhone to iTunes
5. Select your iPhone in iTunes, then click on "Music".
6. You will see the "stuck" songs, greyed out. Most of my problematic songs showed up twice or three times, with a non-moving sync indicator in the first column.
7. delete these songs (select all, right click, delete). I had to do this twice for some unknown reason. Force a sync and check again, to verify that they are indeed gone.
Once the songs are gone, disconnect the iPhone from your computer. Check the music application. It should display no songs. Now, go to settings and re-enable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Wait until the busy indicator disappears. This may take several minutes, depending on the size of your music library. I assume that this is the time it takes to download cover art and metadata, needed to display the list of albums.
What is displayed on your iPhone should now match what is in the cloud.
At this point, I am just guessing, but it seems that the iTunes Match code on the iPhone is not yet 100% bullet proof, and that it can sometimes become confused by a combination of intermittent network connectivity on the iPhone and updates to the iCloud library. Once a sync attempt gets stuck, the affected file seems to be locked and will never display the proper cover art, sometimes affecting the display of the whole album.
I will keep an eye on this. Probably the code will become more robust over time.

i got this problem since yesterday.
at first (a couple of days) --> i could delete all the songs by a simple sync due itunes....
--> clean music app
but now... everything stuck in itunes match sync
--> no fix, worked for me
i thought i had played around with the iphone to much, so i took the ipad...
and did a VERY CLEAN delete.... close music app --> disable itunes match --> wait for the spinner --> open the musik app --> wait for the spinner --> close music app --> usage --> delete all music --> itunes sync..
but same problem like on the iphone about 10 songs stuck in itunes match sync... not able to get rid of them.
on ipad and iphone! --> strange!
i tried also to delete all grey songs by (managing music and video manuelly)... after new sync i see the grey songs again.
i have also noticed that there is a sync problem when you are changing any "Metadata" - cover, ablum, genre... so you have to clean your music app - (fresh itunes match sync)
so i stuck
and im not able to sync any new data from itunes match.
where is the magic? Apple?
this is like windows ME

Permanent Fix For Some FF4 Oddities?

I just upgraded to FireFox 4, but the minor annoyances are about even with the helpful new features. I've found some about:config fixes for most of the things that irk me, but the problem is that they only seem to last for the current session...when I close FireFox and open it again, it seems as though I need to apply those fixes yet again. And since one such fix is restoring my open tabs whenever I close and reopen my browser, you can imagine how irritating this can be. Is there some way to make these about:config tweaks permanent? What is it that causes them to return to the default each time?
It really baffles me that FF4 defaults to such bizarre habits that FF3 had no issue with, but that's the beauty of customization. However, if I can't get my personal taste tweaks to stick, well...that's when I really come to take issue with the design team's bizarre new decisions. :/

I tried everything on that list and it's not working. Though it seems there's only one preference that's being reset now; I think I changed about three settings in about:config and the others seem to be retaining their new values whenever I close and reopen my browser. The one that isn't is keyboard.url - this now defaults to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties while I want it to change and stay changed to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= and it just doesn't seem to want to stick. Is there any reasonable explanation for this happening? I'm tired of using the awesomebar to search for things the easy way I did in FF3 such as "the beatles wikipedia' and having it give me this error when it used to direct me to the wikipedia entry of whatever I plugged in. This is an incredibly annoying change for something that used to just work, and I want my changed setting for it to stick permanently.

Any fix for the "remembering passwords" problem with MAIL?

I've been following the other threads on this topic. I am a new Mac user (all of 5 days) with 10.5.2 preinstalled on a macbook pro, so this is not a migration problem. Applecare has been unable to resolve the issue. My setup is a Verizon FIOS POP account. I've tried all the repairing, creating keychain suggestions. My incoming and outgoing accounts function properly, then they mysteriously forget the login credentials. Is there any fix for this, this seems absurd coming from a PC background? Thanks.

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

Is there a fix for "ebay" listing "duration" problem?

This is what happens "every time" I list a new item for sale on Ebay and get to the choice of "listing duration".
You normally have a choice of days (1,3,5,7,10). It's always set on one of them before I attempt to change it. It is usually on 3 days, but I almost always change it to "5 days". Unfortunately, when I choose "5 days" it automatically snaps back to 3 days. I end up trying to change this 15-20 times before I can get it to stick.
Called Ebay support, and they suggested I change browsers. So, I did. Went back to IE and did not have the same problem at all.
Just for fun, I went back to Firefox and again, as usual ... same problem. Just keeps snapping back to something I don't want.
<nowiki>*******</nowiki> Now, I am here asking for help, as I do prefer using Firefox! So, if you have a fix for this problem, please share! *******
Thank You.

Will there be a fix for 10.3 OS problems?

Will Blackberry be coming out with a fix for these bugs?As in previous posts, so far I have noticed problems with very low volume for notifications, despite the fact that the volume levels are turned up to max, and I have also had problems with contact information, which I have discovered now cannot be edited as I am getting the error message "exceeds maximum 17 characters." My contact phone #s are also showing up in duplicate but cannot be edited. I have not noticed any other issues yet but then again, I have not used all functions.
Seems many people are having these issues. Will there be a fix?

No one can predict the future...and anyone who knows "inside" what BB is doing, would be legally prevented from revealing it. In the meantime, due to the number of problems with "upgrading" to this OS level, I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!
