Ink Window Keeps randomly appearing!

Hey all.
A few months ago, I installed a new Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet to my white Intel iMac running Leopard, and set up Ink, which is great. However, recently, over about the last month, the Ink Window keeps randomly appearing on the screen. When I go to close it however, it is unresponsive. If I go up in to the Menu bar and click on the ink pen icon, then 'Show Ink Window', nothing appears to happen, but I can now close it... ...until the next time that it opens randomly.
It is completely random as far as I can tell, and not related to anything that I've noticed. I've tried turning Ink off and then back on again, and restarting the computer, but nothing seems to have resolved the problem.
If any of you know of how to solve this, or have any suggestions, I would be very appreciative of some help!
Thanks
Cuby

I just began having the same problem with Ink and my Intuos 3. I've had it for a long time, and it just started happening today.
I also noticed it tends to happen when opening programs, but it seems to happen with just about any program, not just the specific ones.
I tried doing drawing in it, and it did require both drawing and writing in the window to get it to stop coming up when programs were launched.
I really don't know enough to help answer, but I can provide some computer info:
OSX 10.5.5 Build 9F33
Macbook (Macbook4,1 early 2008, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz)
4GB RAM (<--- this is the only thing I've updated recently, I swapped out the factory installed 1 GB for 2x2 GB modules from Corsair. And by recently, I mean I swapped them out right before this started happening and have done no other upgrading... so maybe it's a memory problem? You guys? Apple?)

  • Apple's ink preference option, randomly appears 2008 Mac Pro???

    Ink or inkwell. Is Apple's own handwriting recognition program It is included in leopard and is only available if your mac detects the presence of a wacom tablet.
    I don't have a wacom tablet, nor have I ever used one. Yet the ink icon has just recently began appearing randomly. A small menu icon, appears next to the volume control in the menu bar. It also appears under system preferences between keyboard and mouse and the print and fax preferences.
    The ink icon and preference option will just mysteriously also disappear within a few minutes.
    I don't have a wireless card in my mac pro. I also double checked to see if all bluetooth options are turn off. I have two hard drives both with separate installations of OS X. This has happened on both installs.
    The only thing new is a airport extreme base station. The airport is being used by only two computers my 2008 mac pro and a imac out in the living room. Both are using ethernet no wireless.
    At first I suspected the airport was picking up a stray signal from a neighbor using a wacom tablet.
    But I think thats unlikely since any wireless tablet would be using bluetooth.
    I did also upgrade to ilife 09. Again I don't see how ilife 09 could cause trouble like this.
    I have googled to see if anyone else may have experienced anything like this. I have found nothing helpful.
    Any one have any ideas To what might cause this?

    Anyone?

    All bluetooth options are turned off. I have no bluetooth devices nor have I ever used one with this mac. I also have wake for ethernet administrator disabled. I also checked to see if their were any scheduled wake events.
    Just before this morning on the advice from Apple care I did both a PSM and PRAM reset. To see if that would element the random appearing ink icon. From My first post.
    I think Their is a problem with my bluetooth chip receiving signals when is not sopped to. The chip is not turning off?

  • When I have all Firefox windows minimized, and am using another program or am idle, the Firefox windows keeping randomly popping up. How can I stop this behaviour?

    I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.2. When I have all Firefox windows minimized and am working in another program, the Firefox windows just randomly open in front of my other app and interrupt me. I have to minimize them again. It is extremely distracting and annoying, and often interrupts in the middle of something important. How can I stop Firefox from doing this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Warn message / pop-up window keeps randomly flashing up under os x

    hi,
    a grey message box with an error sign keeps flashing randomly since weeks on my screen.
    unfortunately it is to fast to be able to read anything. anyone an idea what the issue could be? or
    macbook pro
    os x 10.7.3 lion
    2gh intel core i7
    8 gb ram
    logic studio 9
    many thanks

    I've just been to the Apple store. But without seeing or locating the error message also the guy there couldn't help me. But he recommended to keep 'Console', which you find under your Utilities, open. And to try to narrow the time window down in the moment the pop-up window occurs.
    As soon as I came home the window actually appeard immediately after I logged into OS X.
    So I went into the Console and took screen shots of everything that happend within the 2 minutes when I switched the machine on and opened Console.
    Indeed, Console is displaying some error message of drivers which are unavailbe of an old audio interface.
    But I don't think that's the issue. I think it might be related to sound audio stuff like plug-ins.
    But I guess I will know more when I take that data / screenshot to apple next time.
    Hope that helps!

  • Mail account doesn't work properly, deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random.

    deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random

    I have the same problem. Thankfully one which was missing came back. I printed it out and made a PDF of it since it was an important one I'd been looking for.
    I have three icloud email accounts which folders for each one. Now they mostly come up in my inbox instead of the correct folder and they won't move to the correct one.
    Come on Apple, fix this.

  • HELP! Firefox keeps randomly switching windows.

    Every time I open a new window link from a current window, the new window will pop up like normal.
    But after I click on anything inside the new window, Firefox randomly switches to the previous window and I have to reclick the new window to get it back.
    How do I fix this? I don't want it to keep switching back to the old window when I've already opened a new one.
    I'm using the latest Firefox build 23.0.1, fresh install with Windows 7 64 bit.

    Sounds like a bug in the Flash Player plugin's Protected Mode. Check out the following thread for a further description and known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].

  • HT1338 Mac Keeper popup window keeps appearing.  Malware?

    Mac Keeper popup window keeps appearing.  Is it malware?  No updates available for older computer (2005 Mac desktop)

    You really really need to uninstall it if you did install it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.

  • The "save as" window keeps popping up randomingly while browsing, WHY?

    Literally every few minutes the pop-up asking to "save as" and it just keeps popping up to save the web page. There is nothing wrong with my ctrl and S button on my key board and I cannot figure out why the save as window keeps popping up. I've done a virus scan and there is no negative results. What's the next logic troubleshooting step?

    Does it affect some sites more than others?
    If you use the Foxit PDF viewer and have PDFs configured to save to disk, maybe it's related to this problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927458 Foxit Reader spews a lot "not a PDF" on some pages].
    One standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether the misbehavior is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
    If the annoying messages go away, this points to an add-on or custom setting as the problem. Now the challenge is to track it down!

  • ITunes proxy authorisation window does not appear (and account is being blocked randomly)

    Many users have iTunes installed on their PC. iTunes requires proxy authorization to connect to internet. Appropriate popup window appears when opening iTunes and trying to open some internet-based page there. Entering current AD account credentials helps to connect. There is also a checkmark there allowinf to save credentials for further use (and do not show this window anymore). When AD password is changed - this popup window does not appear again and user's account is being blocked (because iTunes tries to connect proxy with old credentials). The question is: is it possible to reset proxy settings, stored somewhere inside iTunes somehow? Just to return proxy authorization window back. Did you have such an experience? If you caould share any knowledge - it would be great.

    What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
    You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac

    What version of Photoshop, and what OS, do you have?
    Some of the older versions of Photoshop could be corrupted by 3rd party plug-ins under some conditions and you might see this type of error.  I used to see it myself but VERY infrequently, and that was a long while ago.  I don't believe I've seen it since Photoshop CS4 was released.

  • I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated.  Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?

    I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated.  Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?

    No need to apologize, Jim.  I think your rant was justified.  For years people have been telling me how easy the Mac was to use.  Imagine my frustration when I finally learned from friends and users that it takes weeks or months to make the transition from Windows to Mac.
    Still, I agree that I acted to too hastily when I returned my mini-mac to the store only three days after I bought it.
    I'm going to try again, this time with an iMac.  This time I'll keep it.  Since this thread is for the mini-Mac only, I'll probably be starting a new one for the iMac.
    Why did I decide to try again?  Well, I do like the faster speed and compact hardware of the Macs.  I also like the fact that I can install Windows and use that for my programs until I transition completely to Mac, IF I make the complete transition.
    Thank you all for your suggestions and advice.  I have paid attention to what you said.

  • Black keyboard randomly appearing, sometimes displaying my login passcode

    iPad 3, iOS 8.1.1 (12B435).
    As the title says.  A black keyboard randomly appears, sometimes displaying my login passcode as four digits at the top left of the superimposed keyboard.  It happens any time, during any task (usually not entering text where the keyboard is required).  I always use a quality bluetooth keyboard and only occasionally use the screen keyboard for selecting eMoji characters.  This is achieved by hitting the relevant bluetooth keyboard button to call up the screen keyboard.
    It's difficult to make the black random keyboard disappear.  The usual keyboard-call button doesn't do it, nor mostly does pressing the home button.  When I hit the home button, it works as it should, but the black keyboard stays on top and then half-covers the app icons. See two of the screenshots below, one which shows the (now-blanked-out)four-digit code enclosed in quotes.
    I'm pretty concerned this is a security issue (and I'm far from being a paranoid person), especially since my login code (which I've changed) appeared for all to see.
    Any ideas?  Thanks. :-)

    To attach a screen shot first move the insertion point ( blinking blue line) downtwo rows. Tap the tiny camera icon. Tap the center of the window that opens up. Tap choose file. Tap photo lubrary. Tap moments Chose image by tapping on it. Tap insert image. Unfortunately I don't know how to keep the black keyboard from appearing.
    Edit. I see you figured it out without me. Well done.
