JWS causes odd behavoir

I created this java game, then when I wanted to put it on my website, I thought of the best way to go about it. I didn't want to make it an applet due to some limitations of applets, so I made it a JWS application. I created an executable jar and an jnlp document specifing everything required and put them in my root directory. When I try double click the executable jar, my application runs like it should. When I double click the jnlp, and Java Web Start begins running, and my application comes up looking okay until you try to click the "Start Game" button on my gui and the game board is suppose to show along with 2 other internal layered panes. It doesn't, it just freezes. I'm not sure why it is doing this. I have the application on my site even though it doesn't work, if you would like to see what it happening.
The site is www.americawasted.org
It's the "Catch a Corporate Criminal" game.
Another thing is that I thought it was supposed to do is direct a user to a JWS installation page if it doesn't find JWS installed, but that doesn't seem to be happening with computers that do not have JWS.

You're linking directly to the .jar and not the .jnlp?
If you want me to check it out please link to the jnlp file..

Using iPhone causes odd feeling

I have a new job and had a choice of phones. One of the choices was an iphone 4S, which I chose. When I got the phone and turned it on, I started to feel odd and get a headache, even got a pain in my chest. I traded the phone in for a 4 which we happened to have on site. I still am effected, not quite as strongly. I suspect it has to do with the 3G radio, which are identical in both phones.
There is very little evidence of this on the internet, I'm sure there are people out there that have the same reaction that I do. If this continues I will have to turn the phone in. Getting another phone of another brand may not help if it is becuase of the 3G. I have been in close proximity to other types of phones in cars etc. and it never caused a problem. I have never noticed an iPhone causing issues when I encountered them in the past.
Any ideas?

Slideshow is causing odd blank gap underneath that I cannot get rid off

I went to change out the HOME page of a website I built in MUSE months back, and when I switched out images in the Slideshow (which I have done numerous times), there is now a big gap underneath that does not show up in DESIGN or PREVIEW mode, but only when Published. I tried settings, redoing the slideshow, messing around with the parts underneath to see what was triggering the gap. Nothing is working to fix this. I am at a loss. Any ides?
THIS IS WHAT I SEE IN DESIGN & PREVIEW MODES.
THIS IS WHAT IS SEEN ONCE PUBLISHED. Notice the big, white gap under the slideshow.

If the issue persists, try a Cmd/Ctrl + A on the page in Design mode and look for any transparent objects placed on the page leading to a block of whitespace below the slideshow. If that doesn't help, please share the site URL.
Thanks,

Flash Plugin with Firefox 5 causes odd audio playing!

When I start Firefox 5, about a minute or so later, an audio clip/file starts playing on its own! I think it's an audio file I created and have stored on this computer (of a band I once played in). This is a repeatable problem - it happens every time. The file is about 1.5 mins long and only plays once per Firefox session. If I go to the Addons Manager in Firefox and disable the Shockwave Flash plugin (the lastest version 10.3.181.34), the audio file immediately stops playing. If I reactivate this plugin subsequently, about a minute later the audio file starts its mysterious playing, again (one instance). I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash and the related plugin, cleared temp files, etc. all to no avail. I have tried to adjust the Flash Player's settings (using both local and so-called online), again, without success. I have very few other Firefox plugins and extensions running (I doubt that these are the issue, anyway). I don't encounter this with other browsers (Chrome and IE).
The computer is a Toshiba tablet pc running Windows XP SP3, all as updated as possible. There are NO other issues presently on this otherwise extremely smooth running computer. The problem happens whether I've got just Firefox running, or other programs up and running.
So, has anyone else encountered this issue? Any suggestions to remedy?

Thanks. Later today I'll be able to try that software utility.
I wonder if there is information known on the forum (any readers of this post) about what triggers Flash Player to play an audio file automatically (as opposed to clicking on a file to, in a sense, manually start a media file).
Are there any other audio settings available to users other than yes/no to web cam or microphone?

[Solved]New Fontconfig (even with same config) Causes Odd Rendering

I'm on the Ubuntu-patched version, using these /etc/fonts/conf.d symlinks with no modification:
10-antialias.conf
10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf
10-unhinted.conf
11-lcd-filter-lcddefault.conf
30-metric-aliases.conf
30-urw-aliases.conf
31-cantarell.conf
44-wqy-microhei.conf
45-latin.conf
49-sansserif.conf
53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf
60-latin.conf
90-synthetic.conf
It should look like this in Chrome Dev:
After the upgrade to Fontconfig 2.10.1-3 I remade all the links from conf.avail as instructed so that the configs remain the same as above. However the font still looks very deformed:
What could've gone wrong?

My random meddling with 10-unhinted.conf turned out as a successful workaround:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>

<match target="font">

<edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Just turning it back to "assign" works, but still it's documented as deprecated. I hope this would get fixed internally soon.

Audigy 2; odd soun

Hello all,
I've come to a problem with my new sound card, the Sound Blaster Audigy 2. Just a basic sound card, and all I needed. However the problem is that at times it seems that the information being sent to the sound card is being jumbled and the sound card freezes up, causing odd sounds.
It seems that whenever my computer randomly does a **bleep** check (CD Dri've), this is when it happens. I'm wondering if anyone has had the same problems and how to fix this problem. I'm leaving you guys with a clip of what happens when the sound card freezes:
http://composremusic.com/forums/audigy.mp3
The strange sound occurs and keeps an unusual pulse throughout, it will stop eventually however this is a problem that I would like to resolve as it can be annoying at times.
Thanks in advance,
-Travis-

If you think that you have a problem with your drivers or old software lingering then you can use something like DriverCleaner which works GREAT! With something like that, you can uninstall all your software for the card, pull the card from your machine, clean the contacts of the card itself, reinstall the card, and then reinstall the software for it. I recommend Daniel K.'s Audigy support pack here:? http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&thread.id=39702
or [url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&thread.id=39702">HER E[/url]
And then you can start your sound settings from scratch. Also be sure to check for remnants of your onboard's sound card drivers. Realtek do not play well with Creative drivers.

Photoshop CS5 "Could not complete your request because of a program error." on Save As

Hello all,
We just got a new iMac with 10.9 on it. Photoshop CS5 is having a major problem. About 80% of the time we get an error on Save As, "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
It appears like it might be related to saving JPEGs, as we get the message when saving as JPEG and Photoshop PDF. Saving as Photoshop and PNG work fine.
Running 10.9.3
Photoshop CS5
Creative Cloud is also installed on this machine.

Alright, something on your system is causing odd problems.
Third party plugins would be the first suspect. If you have third party plugins, disable them.
Corrupt font files or corrupt OS font cache would be the second.
See this for tips to troubleshoot font issues: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html
After those 2 causes, it would have to be something invoked, like a scanner or printer driver.
Then we get to bad installs, bad RAM, bad CPU, etc.

[iPhone] OpenGL IPhone Question

Greetings, I am new to programming on the iPhone and Objective-C so I hope you will excuse me if I ask a stupid question. I am experienced at Java (having worked with it for 14 years professionally) and I have some background in C and C++ that I have half forgotten but not completely.
I am trying to learn OpenGL programming on the iPhone and I have encountered a problem. In my test application I want to draw a icosahedron and I am having trouble with several sides completely missing. I was hoping someone could lead me in the right direction. Pasted below are the relevant sections of code based off the template for the OpenGL template.
It draws a good portion of the icosahedron but there appear to be sides missing and that causes odd things. I have been fiddling with this for hours and im out of ideas. I assume it must be something simple.

AE CS6 bug: Can't use any shortcut that includes the C in it

A while ago I started having some issues In Illustrator CS6, where I couldn't copy and paste from one document/application to another, the issue later ported itself to AE and not much after that anything including the C key stopped working. For example I can't copy, pre compose or create a camera using shortcuts.
After a lot of troubleshooting I was able to isolate a preference pane who was causing the Illustrator issue, I removed it and AI went back to normal, I assumed After Effects would be fixed too but unfortunately that's not the case, I still can't use the C key.
I ran Onyx thoroughly, trashed AE's prefs, removed some recently acquired scripts, removed some login items and trashed those prefs also (I read a thread that mentioned those items could be causing odd behaviors).
I carefully compared my setup against my laptop, which also has AE CS6 installed and working perfectly, I have the same scripts, the same preferences and the only login items not installed there are the ones that's are grayed out in my imac, so I can't delete them.
If someone can help with this I'll be very grateful, I'm wasting a lot of time trying to solve this thing and I'm very used to using said shortcuts to increase my workflow.
Thanks.

I quit a few other components, a small utility called Shortcut (isn't that ironic?) and another one called MacAppBlocker,
I still can't pre compose any layers using command-shift-c
I was able to create a camera using command-shift-alt-c, after several tries, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
I was being able to copy and paste across different programs and layers all sorts of objects, UNTIL I opened Illustrator and copied a path, then I pasted it into a solid in AE.
The next time I tried to copy something else, my clipboard got stuck with the path from Illustrator, EVEN inside illustrator.
Greg, as you can see from this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4462265
This is an aknowledged bug from Illustrator, but as I have discovered in the past few days it's affecting everything systemwise, what are the possibilities that the only shortcuts that are failing are those that contain the combination of command-c? And like I said, it starts missbehaving right after I copy a path in Illustrator, not before.
Alright, after some further testing, here's what I found:
I removed (completely deleted) from my computer a small piece of software called WD Quickview, right after I was able to precomp and create cameras in AE.
I still have the copy/paste issue from Illustrator, right after I copy a path, the clipboard goes haywire system wide.
The strange thing is that, such program, WD Quickview has been installed on my computer for over a year now and never had any trouble with it, moreover, I'm not entirely sure how am I going to be able to get into the drive that uses that program (WD force-install that thing with their new drives that come with a new unerasable firmware).
Coincidentally, I haven't plug the drive at all this week, so perhaps the program went crazy when it couldn't find the drive?

Itunes unknown error [-50] but only on my login...

o my fricken god this thing is driveing me crazy. I have had an ipod nano since christmas with everything working perfectly till about a month ago. right about then my itunes stoped opening. whenever i tried to open itunes it would give me this error message that says
"the iTunes application could not be open. An unknown error occured(-50)."
about three days after that when my ipod batery died and i went to charge it it wouldnt charge but the charge screen would flicker as if it were trying to do it but couldnt. then it compleatly stoped doing anything. so i went and traded it in for a new one. i wiped itunes from my computer and reinstalled it. this did absolutly nothing the error message still came up. not only that but to load it i had to log on as anyone else but me, because when i tried to load it it would give me this error saying
"1608: Unable to create InstallDriver instance, Return code: -2147024894"
well i went onto the disscussions page and spent the beter part of an houre searching for someone that had the same problme as me, and found one. in his the same error was showing up so what he did was he wiped and reinstalled quicktime and it worked fine after that. so i tried to do this. well that same error that came up when i tried to install itunes came up when i tried to install quicktime. so once again i had to go onto someone elses login and load it. this time it worked fine under their log in and after puting a few songs into it i tried to attach my ipod to it to stick the songs on it but it wouldnt recognize it no mater what. the worst part is that that same error(-50) is still there but only on my login.
Will someone please help me eather fix this or at least help me get my songs onto my ipod.
P4 Windows XP Pro

hiya!
hmmmmm. the fact that the (-50) is happening in one account but not the others suggests some possibilities. there's components of itunes that are unique to each different account on the PC.
there's a different set of library files in each account, for example. a damaged library file can sometimes cause odd issues.
What are the iTunes Library files?
perhaps we could try a "library recreation" in your user account:
How to recreate your iTunes Library
iTunes: How to backup and restore playlists
can you get itunes to launch in your account with a recreated library file in place?

Beige G3 Server won't boot 9.2.1 from CD or HD

Tried to upgrade a Beige G3 Server w/Rev3 ROM from 8.6 to Retail 9.2.1.
Would not boot from CD. Gets to appletalk extention icon then gets bomb dialog box with no text. Mouse still moves pointer.
Installed via alternate method to HD (ultra-wide scsi) from CD with 8.6 booted,
I now have the same senario when trying to boot from the scsi HD.
Boot with space bar down has the same results.
Booting with extentions off gets the bomb dialog box with
"illegal instuction, restart with extentions off" ( catch 22!!).
Installed a second drive (ide) from another computer with 8.6, this boots fine.
Have used this same CD to install 9.2.1 on a beige G3 MT/Rev3 ROM with no problems.
Will boot 9.1 from Norton Utilities CD no problem.
Configuration is: 128meg, 4G ultra- wide scsi w/9.2.1 on scsi-3 card in pci slot 2, 4G ide drive w/8.6, ide cd-rom drive, floppy drive, Internal scsi-1 cable removed (no device on this cable) performed manual reset, no change.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I finally found the problem, after going thru the forum on G3 Usage there was a post to check the personality board for proper fit in its socket ( a common problem apperently), and how this can cause odd operating problems. On close inspection I noticed that the back of the case had a slight bow outwards. Since the board is secured to the back of the case, it was lifting the board slighty out of its socket.
I straightened the case to match up the mounting holes with the board while the board is properly mounted in its socket. Problem solved...
Why this only affected 9.2.1 is beyond me. It would still boot 8.6 and 9.0.4 with no problems!

Mac keeps crashing It's driving me mental!

Whenever I log on to my mail it crashes my mini mac, i get the coloured beach ball and it just goes round and round and I have left it up to 30 minutes before now and nothing, this is happening all the time
It is not just mainly when i use mail but this seems to be the main culprit, I have emptied the mailbox in case there was something suspect in there but this has made no difference
I have used clamzav and it brought nothing up
I rang apple tech and they were no help whatsoever, I havent had the mac for a year yet and I am bitterly disappointed in this
Any help would be appreciated before I throw it out the window!!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Several things you might do... first, download OnyX from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html , and under the utilities tab, click plutil and run it, which will check for corrupt preference files. I use OnyX as a system mainenance program, periodically running tasks under the cleaning and maintenance tabs, but you don't need to do that now. If any files are shown as corrupt, you'll need to exit the application, delete them, then restart the application to recreate them.
If this doesn't turn up anything, another step you can take would be to use a new preference file for your mail, as sometimes the application preference files can get scrambled and cause odd behaviours. Shut down mail, then find com.apple.mail.plist, and rename it to something else. Restart mail, which will recreate the file. You'll need to reenter your mailbox preferences, as the recreated file doesn't know anything about your mail accounts. If you have several mail accounts, just enter one so you can test the new preference file. If it doesn't make a difference, delete it, and rename the old one back to com.apple.mail.plist.
Another thing you might try ... if you updated to OS X 10.5.6 through the software update function, download the combo update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html . Sometimes the software update function doesn't update completely, causing odd happenings.

My HP Officejet 6500 E710 is on, but my PC shows off. How do I solve this issue?

My computer shows my printer is off, I am using wireless. However, my printer is on, and I did not find my device in th printer. When I want to print or scan, sometimes it works but somtimes it doesn't. How do I sovle this problem?

Hello @Kelly45!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see your printer is showing offline when it is in fact online. The first thing I suggest is to remove the power from the printer and the router and restart the computer. After 20 seconds plug the router and printer back in and see if you still experience the issue. I also suggest moving the router or printer so they are 5-10 feet apart. Too close and too far away may cause odd connection issues. You will also want to ensure the router is not next to speakers or a TV. Other electronics can effect Wi-Fi signal as well.
If you are still experiencing the issue then it may be software related. I recommend uninstalling the HP software. After the uninstall is complete it would be a good idea to perform a disk cleanup in the computer.

Distorting text/images in converting from pmd to pdf

My company uses PageMaker 7.0 to create our manuals and brochures and then converts them into pdf's. I've run into this problem before and found that if I didn't properly place or import an image (not copy and paste an image or text) that once converting it into a pdf only a portion of the image would be there or everyother 3rd letter would exist. Thought we had corrected it. The creator of this last document saw everything correctly but when another employee opened the pdf file through the network it was distorted and wrong. I opened the document and "saved as" in my documents and then everything seemed fine from my computer but then the creator opened the file on his computer and it was wrong. The link info on some of the images is wrong even though it was placed properly- the text was entered in Pagemaker but on the pdf is missing letters and causing odd spacing. I'm at a loss now on how to correct this. I hate to upgrade when pagemaker is more than sufficient for the basic manuals we do. I did notice that I was using Reader 9 wheras they still had 8 on their computers- already had them upgrade but didn't think this would be a real issue. Any ideas on the problem or how to correct would be greatly appreciated!!

Look in the application where the users are generating the PostScript.
Many of them have an option "print last page first", so this naturally
produces a backwards PDF.

Suddenly being asked to log in to the Itunes store when using an app

When I turned on my IPad this morning I found that when I opened an app the "Sign in to ITunes Store" request came up. This seems to happen with all of the non-native apps I have on my device. It does not affect any of the native IPad apps (Safari, Calender, Camera, FaceTime etc.) I am reluctant to type in my password given the fact that this happened suddenly (the device was working normally yesterday) and only affects the non-native apps. I have not downloaded any new apps. I upgraded to IOS 8.3 several weeks ago without any ill effects. I have an IPad mini 2. Has this happened to anyone else.

Were the apps on your iPad purchased with the same Apple ID you are currently logged in with?
Try logging out of the App Store then logging back in.
Settings->iTunes & App Store-> tap your Apple ID & sign out. Sign back in & see if that resolves the issue.
Also check for any pending downloads (stuck apps in waiting)/purchased music....this has also been known to cause odd login request behaviour.
Hope this helps!
