Leopard Behaving Badly

I have Leopard 10.5.1 installed on my wired Mac Pro and my wireless Mac Mini. I have Tiger 10.4.11 installed on my G4 iBook.
I also have .mac syncing my keychains, and somewhere along the lines, both my Mini and my iBook got knocked off the wireless network. I was able to re-enter my wireless network password on my iBook and get back onto the network. But when I try to enter the same password into my Mini, I get an "incompatible security" message.
Any ideas on what I need to do? Would (temporarily) wiring my Mini so that I can sync my keychains again make a difference?
Thanks in advance.

  • Mouse/cursor behaving badly

    Seems to have started recently, maybe with OS software update? My mouse is behaving badly as in it can't seem to capture open Mail windows to rearrange them on my screen - often takes 3 or 4 attemtps to "catch" the window. Also, can't rearrange stacked layers in palettes in Adobe CS4 programs, keeps wanting to bring up dialog boxes for layers instead. Have changed batteries in mouse (Logitech optical wireless) and changed mouse preferences, but seems to be getting worse. Any ideas? Could mouse be getting old? Have had it for quite a few years. Am working on a Mac 2x2.4GHzQuad-CoreIntelXeon, Mac OS 10.6.8.

    Bluetooth is turned off. The 'wireless' is a direct wireless and not through the Airport. When I turn Airport on, there are three other networks visible but they are all locked.
    But, given your suggestion about the mouse, I just tried the mouse on my laptop - AND IT'S THE MOUSE!! Same behaviour repeated on the laptop...
    Thanks. Time to go get a new mouse and lay this one to rest.

    Hi Ramki,
    We are looking in to this. We see this happen every now and then. Not really common which makes it very hard to track down the cause.

  • With or without add-ons, and after removing/reloading Firefox, some sites behave badly, though they're fine with Internet Explorer.

    The computer in question is running Vista. With Firefox 8, some websites, e.g. Whitepages.com, livefreept.com, behave badly. Spedifically, they require the user to click on tabs. But the tabs don't appear at all. I upgraded to Firefox 10, to no effect. The sites work fine on this same computer with Internet Explorer, and on both our XP and Windows 7 computers using older older versions of Firefox. All three are using the same Norton Internet Security program, with the same settings. Starting in safe mode, with no add-ons has no effect. Help!

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
    * Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

  • Keyboard behaving badly

    Do you have another KB to test with?
    Installed any software lately?

  • Widgets Behaving badly on Leopard

    Upgraded MacBook Pro to Leopard, and everything seems good except my dashboard widgets. "Say Cheese" displays part of its border shifted down too far and part of it transparent. "rpncalc" is completely transparent except for the buttons, which are in the wrong location and some of them are clipped. Sudoku widget displays OK, but each key must be pressed twice to take effect.
    I tried removing the preferences files for the widgets, and moving them to trash and reinstalling, but same results. Same widgets work fine on my 13" Macbook.

    Is it only some widgets that have this problem? And are they Apple widgets or 3rd party widgets?
    I would suspect that they are 3rd party, not Apple, and the problem is hardware related, but not your problem - the widgets are not fully compliant with your MBP.
    If you post a link to one of those bad widgets I will see what it does on this box. It's a Santa Rosa 3,1 from late last year. 64 bit, of course and completely up to date.

  • New iMac turns on/loads fine, but trying to install Snow Leopard gives 'bad RAM' 3 beeps + grey screen

    New iMac arrived today, turned on and loaded fine.
    After getting to the desktop, I inserted the Snow Leopard disk and restarted the computer.
    I held alt at startup and selected the Snow Leopard disc from the options.
    The computer proceeded to give me the 'bad RAM' error: grey screen + 3 beeps, over and over.
    So did I get an iMac with bad RAM? Poorly seated RAM?
    Very frustrating, I'm disappointed Apple.

    Good luck: Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac
    Earlier versions of OS X, including the present retail version now sold, contain drivers incompatible with the firmware installed on new Macs. You will get the exact same error code you are observing.
    I'm having a hard time believing it is a RAM problem if the computer works fine in OS Lion but gives the error when installing Snow Leopard.
    This has nothing to do with memory. If you don't believe me run Apple Hardware Test and see for yourself.
    If AHT passes and your iMac boots Lion, Apple will tell you to pound sand.
    As I said earlier,
    A new iMac should have shipped with Lion. Attempting to install an earlier OS version will not work.

  • Mac OSX Leopard behaving like any ordinary Windows system?!?

    I have been having a variety of issues since updating to Leopard. I have been a very satisfied mac user for over 7 years with no issues or needed support. Installing Leopard has put all that down the drain. I have a Dual 1.5 ghz Power G4 and 1.5 gb of ram. This computer has enough computer power to run Leopard. With that aside, Apple now says we need to have supported video cards, only to find that out AFTER buying Leopard and installing it. How can you release an OS and have to change a video card recently purchased before Leopard.. My computer used to run flawlessly until I updated. My computer does random "PC like" freezes and I have to sit for 5 mins until it snaps to it. Sometimes just to have Safari load or to Send an email..When the beach ball comes out, (I'm never in the mood to play when it does) I can't even force quit. I have tried the reinstall, a clean install, and even reinstalling on a different hard drive, and the same issues. Yes, all 3rd party software/enhancers were erased when I reformatted my drive and did a clean install.. Also, I cannot open Activity Monitor because I get a message that my permissions need to be repaired.. OK, that would be fine, if disk utility didn't freeze also.. Leopard has some amazing ideas and great tools, and anticipated the long waited release, but if they cant be used and/or start behaving like a PC....., then what's the point?

    I don't think your lockups are caused by the video card, although not having a Core Graphics compatible card will kill a lot of the new effects and make the remaining ones very jerky. In my case, I was getting the interminable hang-ups and beachballs until I did a clean install without "Archive and Install" or "Migration Assistant". I had to keep the install absolutely clean, and manually copy over documents ONLY.
    Further, I found that my external subwoofer (iSub) and one of my external drives were causing problems. Much better without them.

  • Leopard, now bad safari, and mutiple hard drives

    So after i installed leopard everything except safari worked great. It just randomly decides it only wants to load half of the pictures, and if you hit refresh then it will say something about conection lost. most of my photos are just blue boxes with question marks. so i downloaded netscape navigator and it works great so i kinda resolved that problem. so today i start up my mac book, and i noticed that it was taking FOREVER! so it starts up, along with 2 extra HD's, named macintosh HD alias and alias 2. is it ok to delete these or is it gonna freak out and mess everything up? and another thing about the HD is sometimes when i start up my macbook, it will have randomly moved my HD icon to the other side or in the middle or somewhere and named it something weird like "N" or "/". whats up with that ? can anyone tell me whats going on?

    I know this question has already been answered, but I'm having the same issue with the HD aliases and I know it shouldn't "freak out and mess everything up" but when I try to move either HD alias to the trash it asks for my admin password. This is rather alarming because it seems to suggest that deleting these aliases could cause some serious problem or something. Can anyone please explain to me that this is not a problem, and why it's not? That would be most helpful! Thanks!!

  • ITunes 8 behaves badly on second monitor

    Strange problem that I have noticed on my MacPro 2.66. I have two 22" LCDs running on my MacPro with 4GB of RAM and 10.5.5. If I try move the iTunes window on right LCD by grabbing the header bar and dragging the screen will freeze for about 30 seconds. The window will eventually move but the screen will not redraw. If I move the iTunes window to the other LCD it works fine. This only affects iTunes not any other panels on the right LCD. Quitting iTunes and restarting doesn't solve the problem. I did rebuild permissions after I upgraded to 10.5.5.
    Can I just restore iTunes 7 from my Time Machine back-up?

    kinu wrote:No way with Twinview (or I don't know how to do it). I will try with xrandr.
    Yeah, seems to be a limitation of the Nvidia GUI, but it seems that it's possible [and necessary] to configure it with Xorg's configuration files if you want more freedom to position your monitors.
    Since some extra configuration is needed with the Nvidia driver, xrandr alone might not be ideal in your situation. [I mentioned it before since I never needed to mess with my Xorg configuration, and an .xprofile script based around xrandr works better with my Intel-based laptop. ]
    Xorg's config files seem like a better choice for you, and if you need to change monitor layouts on the fly, xrandr should still work once you have a good Xorg configuration. If you choose to go this route, you'll probably find this section of the Xorg wiki page very useful: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Nvidia_2
    Since you'd need to specify a position for your second monitor to workaround this, you'd need to use a line like this, instead of the "RightOf" one in the example configuration: ' Screen       1 "Screen1" x y ' where x,y is the location of the upper left corner of that display.
    [If a configuration file already exists, make sure you create a backup of it first. Worst-case scenario, a bad config file will prevent X from starting, and you could just restore the backup from the command-line.]
    I also discovered that offsetting it by the exact height of your panel seems to cause problems on your primary monitor [at least with the latest version of the XFCE panel]. Upon rebooting, windows would not respect my panels, and instead would go underneath them when maximized. Although, by offsetting my second monitor by a little more [1920x280 instead of 1920x284], both monitors allow windows to maximize correctly, so if you run into the same problem, something like that should fix it.

  • Finder behaving badly

    I bought a refurbished MacBook Pro from Apple 6 months ago. From the start, if the Finder was in list mode, I always found the Applications folder wide open. I always close all folders before quitting, but it doesn't seem to matter. Applications is wide open again.
    This morning, the cursor started jumping around as if it were having a seizure of some sort. The translucent "Finder" icon (from Dashboard?) kept flashing on and off in the middle of the screen. Restarting did not solve this problem.
    I do not have a copy of Snow Leopard, but if I were to buy it and restore the software, might this solve the problem?

    If you bought the machine from Apple, the install discs should have been included. Call AppleCare and get the requisite discs. You can't set the Finder to list mode; however, you can set Finder windows to list view. So, if I understand correctly, when you open the Applications window, it's in list view, and all subfolders are also open. If so, CMD+A, CMDSHIFTleft arrow should close all of those subfolders. Give that a go and see if it the issue persists.
    As for the translucent Finder icon, I have no idea what that's about, since I don't use the Dashboard or any of its widgets.

  • Lion mail behaving badly

    Hi all,
    I just got my wife a a Core i3, 3.06Ghz 21.5" iMac. I bumped it to 8MB of RAM as she never remembes to quit anything. I updated he to Lion after using it for a week and finding no problems on my machine. As of late Mail has started to behave very strangely. After responding to one or two e-mails without problem in the next e-mail she responds to the charachtersshe's typing apper on screen with more and more of a lag until she can be three or four lines ahead of the on screen text. The problem doesn't happen all the time and she can't, so far come up with a definite way of replicating it consistantly. The responses that have this problem also can be very slow to send, with the general "rainbow" spinning system cursor and not the gray spinning "working" icon spinning next to the mailbox, that you usually get when the ISP is being slow. This again is not consistant. I could not replicate either problem when I tried it. She has probably 30 smart mailboxes that she uses for student mail in her various teaching jobs, is using the "classic" setup. She is composing in "Rich Text" with the spell as I type feature turned on, is using Helvetica as the font but has changed to Times to eleiminate any weird font corruption problems. She never had a problem in 10.6 on her old iMac or on this one. She also ran mail on 10.7 for a week or so with no noticible problem.
    Any ideas where to even start? I'm not familiar with Mails preference files and can't delete anything that will mess with her smart mailboxes, as losing them would be a disaster for her. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Some things to consider.
         Create another admin account and see if the same thing happens in that user account.  If not, then you have a problem in the primary user account.
        I am assuming you zapped PRAM and did an SMC reset, plus unplugged all periphals for awhile.
       If the machine recently started acting this way, look at recent installs.  If it has acted like this since you installed 10.7.2 you might reinstall using the combo update or install the 10.7.3 combo update.  
    You can also reinstall Lion and not lose your data.

  • How to re install snow leopard after bad lion installation

    I installed Lion but it's a nightmare I want to re install snow leopard. How can I do this? I have time machine !
    Thanks

    Keep holding the option key as the computer re-boots.
    Eventually you will be presented with some options on the screen, one of them will be to restore from Time Machine.
    No, you missed a step.  You'll see the Recovery HD as one of the options.  From that, you can reinstall Lion or restore a Lion Time Machine backup.
    But do not use that procedure to restore a Snow Leopard backup;  instead, use the procedure in #14 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Apple Mail Crashing, Behaving badly

    Suddenly Apple Mail is crashing. Running Snow Leopard on 2-year-old macbook pro. The program freezes, does not display the full text of the message, and has crashed at least 10 times today. Also says it cannot send with the server, but it actually IS sending (kept trying to send one message only to find it had sent 8 times to client).
    Help!! Is there some kind of reset button? Already run repair permissions.

    Do a backup.
    Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
