Intel & NetBoot won't play well together

I've got an assortment of Intel iMacs, MacBooks, & MacBook Pros. I created an image of one of the iMacs with NetRestore 3.3.4 and threw it on the server (Xserve G5, 2.0, X.3.9). Thing is: None of the Intel Macs see it, but every PPC box I've tried sees it fine.
Anyone else run accross this?
Thanks!

Then you made a PPC netboot and not an Intel netboot, you cant make a PPC and intel netboot image, has to be one or the other, and they other wont be able to see it. Use apples image tool not netrestore.
How did you create the image etc.

Firefox and Windows live mail won't play well together

If I open windows live mail from the task bar in windows 7 (64) I have to click on Firefox 5-10 times until it opens. If I open Firefox first, no problems. If I open live mail first, (which automatically opens messenger) I have to close both to open Firefox. Firefox is my default browser. I installed updates. Everything's current .

Hi MadGirlDisease,

ICal, Mail, and Exchange don't play well together

I running Lion. Syncing happens for the most part, but there are bugs. When I create events, the name of the event reverts back to New Event after it syncs with the Exchange server. This isn't my biggest issue. The problem I desperately want to solve is that my calendar invitations do not show in Mail. The only way I can accept/decline invitations is in the iCal Invitations tray. This means that I cannot see comments people make in invitations, or even more importantly, when then decline my invitations. I know it works as it should for another user on our network, but not for me. We're both running the same apps and the same operating system.
Any thoughts on how to make the Apple apps play well, or what is the best way to wipe everything and start over? Fresh install, etc. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I appreciate the response, but it's not the same issue. True, the "erasing the event name and reverting back to New Event" is the same, but as I said, that's not my biggest issue. I have not seen any other threads anywhere that reflect the issue of event invitations not showing in Mail (although I'm sure someone else has experienced it).
Sine there's someone else at my company with the same setup, and it's working, I was hoping that someone could suggest the best process for wiping everything out and re-installing. I used to do this back before the OSX days, but since OSX I've had so few problems that I've hardly ever needed to do any kind of support.

T520 and Windows 8.1 - do they play well together?

Hi. I'm probably going to be buying a T520 (my first Lenovo) and while doing some research elsewhere on this site, I found something that I'm hoping someone might explain.
This link goes to a page titled Windows 8.1 Tested System List and I don't see the T520 listed anywhere.
Looking more closely at the ThinkPad T series models that are on the list, I see that none of the "20" model versions of the T400 and T500 are listed, nor are any of the "10" versions, but the "30" and "40" series are.
I have a feeling that this list isn't up to date or isn't what it appears to be, since it's kind of hard to believe that even though it's not super new, the T520 would have issues running Windows 8. But I thought I'd ask.
I will actually be purchasing a used T520 with Windows 7, which is what I prefer anyway. But at some point I will either want to or need to move to Win 8. So I'd like to verify that that won't be a problem.
I'm excited about joining the Lenovo gang!
Thanks!

HT6030 Mavericks 10.9.1 and Gmail still don't play well together: help!

I have 4 gmail acounts and Mavericks and iOS 7 still don't get along despite having the latest versions of everything.
Mail deleted one place still shows up in another.
Counts are totally wrong between my MacAir my iMac and my iPad and iPhone and appear totally random.
At times mail won't show up on the iMac or MacAir for days or even weeks when there may be hundreds of messages that show up in my web browser and sometimes on the iPhone and iPad, but it seems totally arbitrary and to make no sense when it does one thing or the other.
I have no custom settings on gmail, nothing strange, just use it in the most basic ways there are.
Anyone else still having this problem and what to do about it? It is no better from 10.9 to 10.9.1, and has been causing problems since the moment Mavericks was installed.
Come on, Apple! You have a $100 billion in the back: hire people who can code a mail program or talk with the people who coded Mail for Mountain Lion, as it worked just fine.

10.8 worked well with my Mac Mini (2009) connected to IOGEAR KVM model GCS1108. My mouse is from Redmond and the keyboard is a Goldtouch.
Mavericks has a problem with my KVM switch as well. It seems to be a USB problem.
Case 1: The Mini's video is connected to the KVM switch -- mini DVI port to DVI. If the KVM USB cable (known good) is connected, the Mini chimes at boot but no grey Apple logo appears. LCD remains blank white. Boot does not progress.
Case 2: The Mini's video is connected to the KVM switch, as before. If the KVM USB cable is NOT connected, the Mini chimes at boot, the grey logo appears, and boot proceeds normally. Video is fine. I then connect the KVM USB cable to the Mini and use keyboard and mouse. KVM switching works as expected.
If the KVM USB cable is NOT connected but a keyboard and mouse are connected directly to the Mini, the boot sequence is normal. Video works.
The problem is not the hardware, all of which worked well with 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I would downgrade if Apple made 10.8 available from the App Store.

Intel iMac won't play DVD

I have an Intel iMac purchased in late 2009 and the superdrive has quit playing DVDs. It will burn all types of media and will play CDs and will read and install software CDs but will not play a DVD. These are new commercial movies. After inserting the DVD it spins for a few minutes then ejects. No error messages. Reboot did not help.

I mac Mid 2010 all latest sware and updates. Superdrive suddenly wont recognize presence of media. Ejects discs after a short while. Maybe coincidence but seemed to happen after an auto update and using of itunes match.

After Effects CC and Windows 8 not playing well together. How can I fix this?

I thought the problem was a specific project file, but then it happened during another, and then another that I was building without any funky assets. After Effects suddenly ceases to respond, it flickers uncontrollably while Windows 8 Explorer becomes semi-unresponsive as well. When AE becomes responsive again, the same thing happens when I go to make another edit or two.
Troubleshooting: What I noticed is when I go to the Task Manager to kill Explorer, AE responds again. Until I go to make another few edits at least, where it then starts to flicker uncontrollably again. Does anybody else have this problem? This is really putting a kink in my workflow.

Intel iMac won't play Real Audio samples from Amazon

I know this problem could reside with Amazon or Real Audio, but the Apple forum seems the place where knowledgeable and helpful folks hang out, so here goes ...
I've got a brand-new Intel iMac. Going to Amazon, I can no longer listen to sound samples, as they are all in Windows media and Real Audio. The former is not supporting new Macs. As for the latter, I installed (and reinstalled) the latest Real Audio player, but when I try playing an Amazon sound sample, the RA player says "components are missing."
I've already checked my Mac's sound utility to make sure it's at 44.1K (it is, and was), but the problem persists. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi. I was trying to listen to the Real Audio soundclips for this product:

Regarding, the VideoLan player, I was under the impression that it would not play through a browser, but required the file to be downloaded first. Is that correct? (Amazon soundclips don't download, I believe.)
Thanks.

Do Yosemite and Adobe CS5.0 play well together?

I'm a visual designer - both graphic and web. Adobe CS is how I do my work.
I had a disastrous time when I upgraded my (then) new desktop to Mavericks awhile back (it had just come out, right around the time I got my newest machine), was told by some Apple tech that "you can get a free upgrade of Keynote when you upgrade to Mavericks!!!" Was a knee jerk move on my part, caused almost every one of my apps to break since Mavericks was programmed to only work with the latest/bleeding edge versions of everything, apparently. Took me weeks and weeks to right my apps situation with the new OSX, not only my Adobe CS apps, but Powerpoint, my Epson printer drivers, zipping software, etc. etc. the list went on and on. Every time I thought I was good to go, something else broke. Ugh.
Now I've got a client working in the latest version of Keynote, and the latest OSX (Yosemite). I've been holding off on downloading Yosemite since the last debacle, although would be nice (I think - I've also noticed Apple's been denigrating Keynote lately ... tsk tsk) to have the free upgrade to the newest version of Keynote, as well.
My question is this - since I have INSTALLED (not cloud-based. Refuse to go to subscription based ... I want to OWN the copies of my apps) versions of Adobe CS 5.0-55 on my machine (only my INDD is 6.0), will Yosemite play nicely with those apps? And what about Office 2011 for Mac? (I only use PPT from this suite) Anyone have any experience with this, and can you confirm that you did NOT have a problem with these app versions when upgrading to Yosemite? I do not want to go through that mess again!
Thanks.

Sorry folks, should have poked around more before posting my question. Feedback can be found in the link below - in short, I'm NOT upgrading at this point in time. Sounds like the same thing going on with the new OSX as with Mavericks. Cannot afford to wade through hours of troubleshooting and catch up once again! (sigh)

KVM switch and Mavericks don't play well together

I upgraded to Mavericks yesterday, and started having this very annoying problem with my KVM switch, which used to work fine with Mountain Lion. I've been using this KVM switch for my mac mini and PC, in order to share my keyboard and mouse, very stably for several months.
Basically, when switching back and forth, there is a chance that ALL the peripheral devices would stop working in Mavericks. This includes my apple bluetooth keyboard and the magic touchpad, which are not related with USB (or maybe the bluetooth chip is still hooked up via USB inside).
For some reason, screen sharing stops working too, althought the IP I was trying to connect to was the ethernet port.
If I try to do a shutdown -r now via SSH, the system tries to shut itself down, but would get stuck with a spinning animation on the screen.
There is nothing in the system log, no error message.
My KVM switch is an IOGear GCS42UW6. Connected USB devices are: Apple USB keyboard and Logitech G500 mouse.

10.8 worked well with my Mac Mini (2009) connected to IOGEAR KVM model GCS1108. My mouse is from Redmond and the keyboard is a Goldtouch.

F2FS and rEFInd don't play well together?

For a few days now I've been trying to install the F2FS file system onto an HP Envy 6 laptop with a tiny (30GB) Intel SSD. The SSD itself is enterprise-grade and is fully functional to my knowledge at the time of this writing. I will be testing that last statement later today so I may have to retract my last sentence if I prove that assumption to be false.
The problem is simple: I can install Arch using an up-to-date ISO and that's fine. In line with the wiki (see here: F2FS wiki page) I made the boot directory a 512MB Fat 32 EFI partition (EF00 type). I formatted all of my other partitions as F2FS volumes. This part works splendidly as far as I can see. However, when I reboot to finish the install I get a rEFInd splash screen but the normal icons (which are suppose to allow you to choose which install you want to boot into) are not visible. I only see the words and icons below the primary one (the ones for information, reboot and shutdown options). I have tried to install this with an older Arch ISO and I get (unsurprisingly) the same result (this is a net install after all).
I use Syslinux on my desktop machine and I'm very happy with it. I considered installing it instead of but its implementation is, at the present time, full of bugs and ugliness. I have used Gummiboot once in the past but it was only after several hours of trial and error that I got it to work. I have found rEFInd's installer to be simpler to use and has a more attractive presentation on the whole. For these reasons I would prefer to use rEFInd but if I have to I'll use something else if this issue is un-resolvable at this point in its development.
I have tried F2FS in the past but I opted to discontinue using it in the past because it lacked (at that time) an fsck mechanism to recover from crashes and other unexpected fun. As of a couple of weeks ago there was a commit that showed that F2FS does now have a viable fsck mechanism built-in.
I also would like to hear from anyone else's (un)succesful trials with F2FS. I'd be grateful to if I could reading any other person's first-hand experiences and opinion would of F2FS.
Edit: I forgot to add that I did look at the SSD wiki page entry but it only mentions F2FS as a possible file system to use and provides a link the Wikipedia's list of possible file systems to use for SSDs. See here: F2FS on SDDs
Thank you,
MoonSwan

Considering that rEFInd is not a bootloader at all and knows nothing about the filesystem of your rootfs, I am going to guess this has more to do with your rEFInd config than your choice of filesystem.
Maybe it would help if you posted your rEFInd config and a 'tree /boot' (you'll need the tree package from [community]).

PS4 and Cintiq not playing well together

This problem relates to the Cintiq 21 UX & Photoshop CS4 ONLY!
I have a dual monitor setup: Cintiq 21 & NEC 19 LCD Opticlear Miltisync 90GX2. Both monitors are driven by separate ATI Radeon HD2600XT cards with 512MB video RAM. The system CPU is an AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual core 6000+ chip. I have loaded what I believe to be the most current drivers from this web site.
Start PS4 on the Cintiq side; load ANY image; get image with 6 rectangles overlaid and each rectangle is divided diagonally in half from URHC to LLHC. Lower half is good image; upper hald is either a solid color, grossly pixellated, or gibberish. Drag the image a bit and as long as it is being dragged it is a perfect image; stop dragging and it returns to the image with 6 rectangles. Drag across to the NEC monitor and image is sharp and clear while dragging but goes transparent upon release of mouse.
Start PS4 on the NEC side and all is as advertised. Drag only the image over to Cintiq and it is still good. Now drag PS4 over to the Cintiq side and all is still good. Open another image on the Cintiq side and problem repeats.
This problem is fully repeatable, does not happen with any other software, and renders PS4 virtually useless. PS3 works as advertised and always has. I've done 4 installs of CS4 to see if it was the problem including a thorough registry cleaning between installs. Situation is constant across installs. Oddly, Bridge does not exhibit the problem. I'm sending to Wacom as well. I provided 2 jpgs of what the images look like.
Any and all advice greatly appreciated
dave

Both monitors use the DVI connection on the respective cards, so no,
not at this time. Perhaps if I can locate an adapter I may be able to do
so. However, Photoshop CS3 has absolutely no problems with this set up
nor does Bridge CS4, only Photoshop. As Bridge loads with Photoshop and
is not a separate install, I'm thinking that while it could have
something to do with the cards/driver, there must be something more.
However, I've been wrong before . . . . .

Adobe CS5 & Font Book not playing well together

So I've got an Intel Mac Mini that developed this strange little glitch sometime last week. It seems that when I'm using Illustrator or Photoshop and I scroll through my available fonts, ALL 600+ of my fonts are on. When I go to Font Book to troubleshoot the situation, I see that the majority of them aren't activated (which is how it should be). I tried deleting Adobe & Font Book preference files but it didn't remedy the condition. Any one else with a similar problem or a possible solution?
+(I'm guessing this happened after an Apple software update last week; I've had them activate all of my fonts before, but they showed up as activated in Font Book.)+

Peruse Font Management in OS X and if you want to reset the font databases properly, boot into safe mode and then reboot normally. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 If you're still having issues, contact Adobe and ascertain why their font management's mucked up.

Adobe 8.1.2 & VS2005 asp not playing well together

I have a web application with an Adobe Acrobat 7 pdf form which is processed by a VB asp page that was working well yesterday.
Today I had to make a change on the pdf form and saved it in AA 8.1.2 (which increased the filesize from 140kb to 340kb - what's with that?). Now when I submit the form my asp page errors out with a "A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client..." message.
We had issues in the past when moving from AA6 to AA7 so I suspect the Adobe folks made some more unwelcome changes to v8.1.2. Have any of you run into this problem and what did you do to correct? Thanks for your help.

SwingWorker and Action - not playing well together

I have a long running task. I also like using AbstractAction. But since these are both classes, and Java won't let you extend more than a single class, I figured I'd build a new abstract "SwingAction" class. This extends SwingWorker and implements Action. I leave the SwingWorker classes out and leave the actionPerformed method from Action out. Here's what I'm left with:
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.swing.Action;
import javax.swing.event.SwingPropertyChangeSupport;
import org.geotools.gui.swing.worker.SwingWorker;
public abstract class SwingAction extends SwingWorker implements Action {
     private HashMap map = new HashMap();
     private boolean enabled = true;
     private SwingPropertyChangeSupport changer = new SwingPropertyChangeSupport(this);
     public Object getValue(String key) {
          return map.get(key);
     public void putValue(String key, Object value) {
          if (value!=null){
               Object o = map.get(key);
               if (o==null || !o.equals(value)){
                    map.put(key, value);
                    changer.firePropertyChange(key, o, value);
     public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
          if (enabled!=this.enabled){
               this.enabled=enabled;
               changer.firePropertyChange("enabled", new Boolean(!enabled), new Boolean(enabled));
     public boolean isEnabled() {
          return enabled;
     public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          changer.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);
     public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          changer.removePropertyChangeListener(listener);
}I've implemented this in a class and it works great - the first time! It seems like once I hit "start", I'm not able to call it again. I've tried calling interrupt in the finished method, but that has no affect.
I'm including the class that implements SwingAction - you'll need to change it to do something else and hook it up to a button to try it out, but if you have any idea why it's failing to run a second time, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
P.S. Here's the class that implements SwingAction:
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class EnlargeImageAction extends SwingAction {
     private WMSViewer wmsViewer;
     private JLabel mapImage;
     private Cursor cursor;
     public EnlargeImageAction(WMSViewer wmsViewer, JLabel mapImage){
          this.wmsViewer=wmsViewer;
          this.mapImage = mapImage;
     public Object construct() {
          System.out.println("Calling action");
          return wmsViewer.getEnlargedImage();
     public void finished() {
          mapImage.setIcon((ImageIcon)get());
          mapImage.setEnabled(true);
          wmsViewer.setCursor(cursor);
          this.setEnabled(true);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          mapImage.setEnabled(false);
          cursor = wmsViewer.getCursor();
          wmsViewer.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
          this.setEnabled(false);
          start();
}
