Licencing problem under Mac OS

I had to change my HD due to technical problems. To restore my computer to the former settings, I used TimeMachine (OS X 10.8.5). When I want to open Adobe software, I allways get error messages advising me to deinstall and reinstall the software. After dooing so, there is no change in the error messages. The following errors are reported:
- PS Elements 8: 150:30
- PS CS6 Extended: 16
- Dreamweaver CS6: 16
- InDesign CS5.5: 5
- Acrobat XI Pro: 16
What might be the solution for my problem?
Thanks for help.

Hi PS-57-CH,
It seems like that the actual issue with this new system is related to the permissions as its not letting the product right/save the licensing information . Please follow the below mentioned link to provide the required permisions and then try again .

Applet servlet communication under mac os x

Hi everbody,
I have an applet that invokes a servlet via url connection and maintain session status using cookies. Everything works fine under linux and windows but I have problems under mac ox 10.2 (with jdk1.4.1):
I reported an EOFException reading th stream header.
here is my code
URLConnection connection = null;
try{
connection = getConnection(entity);
ObjectOutputStream outputToHost = new ObjectOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());
outputToHost.writeObject(packet);
outputToHost.flush();
outputToHost.close();
}catch (Exception e) {
error_tmp = "brokensession";
e.printStackTrace();
if (_cookie == null) {
_cookie = connection.getRequestProperty("set-cookie");
ObjectInputStream inputFromHost = null;
try {
inputFromHost = new ObjectInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
answer = (Hashtable) inputFromHost.readObject();
if (answer.get("error") != null){
error_tmp = (String) answer.get("error");
status.put("nessieStatusApplet" , error_tmp);
} catch (Exception e) {
status.put("nessieStatusApplet" , "connection-out");
e.printStackTrace();
The first time I execute the servlet call it works ok, the second time the it seems that the headers are lost and I have the excpetion.
Maybe it is something like sun jdk bug #4325987, now solved in sun jdk.
Any idea?

1.4.1 on Mac OS X is under NDA, nobody can discuss this on an open fourm...Some guy was once so much upset by the users' being allowed neither to discuss their experience nor to help each other, that he founded the open source movement. (GCC, Linux are maybe the most prominent fruits.) What is his name?

How to fix iMovie 08 problems under 10.5.3

iMovie problems under Mac OS X 10.5.3 linked to color system
After updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3, users may have problems with launching iMovie. For most, iMovie refuses to opens, and the usual fix of removing the iMovie preferences, caches, and other iMovie settings files, and then relaunching the program does not appear to help. One user reinstalled the program with no luck resolving the problem:
"I have the same problem. I've tried to reinstall the imovie, but it still does not work. I have imported a lot of video in iMovie. Please help!!! "
For other users, while iMovie would start, they could not open any projects or use the program.
One user, while not initially affected by this problem, found that after changing the color calibration of his Apple Cinema display iMovie suddenly wouldnt open just as described by others; however, upon reverting to a previous color profile iMovie became functional again. This indicates the problem lies somewhere in computer's color system configuration; and changing color settings seems to have fixed the problem for all affected users.
Fixes
Change the screen colors Go to the "Displays" system preferences and change the color output of the screen (either from thousands to millions, or vice versa) and relaunch iMovie. Somehow changing the display color depth modifies the color system so iMovie properly loads.
Calibrate the display While for some users calibrating the display resulted in the iMovie error, for others the problem was fixed by re-calibrating the display. Calibrating the display can be an involved process, but it is recommended to ensure your screen outputs the most accurate colors as possible. This option is available in the "Displays" system preferences under the "Color" tab.
More:
Correcting the problem by changing profiles suggests a permissions problem which repairing permissions won't fix. Use the terminal command
ls -al /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
Compare the permissions on the working and non-working profiles. If they are different, correct the non-working instance.
Everyone should read MacFixit Every Day

Another fix for iMovie launch problems We previously reported that, after updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3, users may have problems with launching iMovie. For most, iMovie refuses to opens, and the usual fix of removing the iMovie preferences, caches, and other iMovie settings files, and then relaunching the program does not appear to help. One user reinstalled the program with no luck resolving the problem.
We noted a few fixes for the issue, including changing scren colors and calibrating the display. Now some users have reported that temporarily adjusting screen resolution can allow iMovie to properly launch. The resolution can be changed back to normal after the update.
"Neither suggested trick worked for me. However I temporarily changed the resolution to 1024x768 and then launched imovie. I then went back to my native resolution of 1280x800 (white ibook) and now imovie always launches. Thanks for the tips"

Adobe Photoshop CS2 crashes under Mac OS 10.411

Hy,
I have a Big Problem with Adobe Photoshop CS 2 under Mac Os 10.4.11.
When i click the Photoshop CS2 Icon then Adobe Photoshop crashes.
I delete all file in Preferences and Library and reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS2 - its the same Problem.
I don´t can Use Adobe Photoshop CS2.
Note: Indesign CS2 has no Problems - its running well.
Who can Help me????

I'm having the EXACT same problem. I don't know what to do as I use this in my business daily. None of my other programs....GoLive, Illustraor, InDesign are all fine. Surely we can't be the only 2 people that this has happened too.
THEN tried calling Adobe... worthless. They only help if someone upgrades to cs4 or 5. That means spending MORE money to upgrade your version of the computer this all after spendin $250 on their Creative Suites package. Bunch of BULL CRAP.

Under Mac OS 10.5.8, itunes 10.6.3 not running

Under Mac OS 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3 not running, demanding Quicktime 7.5.5 or higher. Quicktime 7.6.4 installed according to 'About this Mac,' but QT Player is 7.2.1. How do I fix this so I can use iTunes?

QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.

Unable to access Airport Extreme under Mac OS 10.6.7

Strange problem. I'm able to access the Internet, but can't access my Airport Extreme using Airport Utility under Mac OS 10.6.7.

Did you power cycle the entire network? It's always a good idea after any update.
Try this, if you haven't already done so:
Power everything down on the entire network, order is not important
Wait a moment and start the modem first and let it run a moment by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered back up

Adobe Air Installation problem in Mac OS 10.6.3

I am using a Mac OS 10.6.3, having this error message when installing Adobe Air,
"an error occurred while installing adobe air. installation may not be allowed by your administrator. please contact your administrator"
I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Air from Adobe's website.
Try uninstalling and still having the same problem. Done this troubleshoot method:
1. In Language and Text, only enable English - Then Log out and Log in
2. Make sure in Library - Framework, there's no Adobe Air installation.
Please Help

Finally, you have to do the following ( under Mac OS Snow Leopard ):
-Uninstall ALL air applications.
-Uninstall AIR, using the Uninstaller App ( located in /Applications/Utilities )
AND
-Delete the following directory:
sudo rm -rf /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/AIR/
And BINGO! after doing that, reinstall adobe air, and tweetdeck!!!
There you go, at least that worked for me, hopefully it works for you!

AD account Login problem with MAC 10.6.8

Hi All,
We have around 50 odd MAC that are connected to windows server 2008 R2. the user were logining in to these MACs using their AD account. Recently few of the random MAC did not allow the user to login using their AD account.When analyzed though the MAC shows that it has connected to the Domain and the server is active with green button it has unbind itself from the server.I had to login in as local user bind the MAC back to get this resolved.
Now the same has started happeneing for most of the MAC that we have and every morning I have login as local Admin and unbind / bind the MAC with the server. this gets reset once the user reboots or shutsdown.
Have tried with few of the below solution but nothing helped:
Solution 1:
<key>mdns_timeout</key>
<integer>2</integer>
The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required.
You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
Solution 2:
I have seen all of the probable solutions and tried everything and still I am getting issues with 10.6.6 and after rebooting the Mac gets unbind. Or the Mac gets Network Accounts Available even when not accessing the list of users from AD. But the thing that I have done that has solved all my issues with AD on the Macs is to uncheck the box to search on all domains. For some reason I am seeing that when the Macs have this option checked, it searches through out the forest on the same domain controller more than once, so AD stops the handshaking of the authentication.
I hope this helps like it did on our Network, since then I have not seen the Macs lose the binding or slow SMB.
If you've tried this please let us know.
TIP: Uncheck Allow Authentication from any domain for Mac AD problems
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Steven Wells sent a fix and an explanation of problems with Macs losing their binding to Active Diretory:
Unchecking "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest" is working at our college. We have been beating our heads on this for about 2 terms, with no understanding of why it works in some places and not in others. When we found this working, our IT guy said that the Security SID is being duplicated, when it looks in other domain forest, and that is what is causing the problem. This is the first time I have found an explanation for the problem.
If you've tried this approach please let us know.
Solution 3:
Solved it. Create a file in Textedit with the name 'auto_master' (no file extension) with the following contents:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
#/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
Place this in /etc/ folder
Hope this helps

TIP: a Kerberos fix for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 binding to Active directory
Friday, November 11, 2011
Mehdi Mafi forwarded a fix he found for problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard binding to Active Directory:
This was taken from Dane Riley's imaging building for DeployStudio.
With Mac OS X Leopard every Mac is now running a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center). Basically each imaged machine is using the same security certificate and hash. Deploying a single image will deploy the same KDC to every system. This [Apple] article covers how to reset the local KDC so that each system is unique. Basically, do the following:
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
After deployment, perhaps using Apple Remote Desktop to all systems, re- establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
If you've tried this approach with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or even Lion, please let us know. .
TIP: More on a kerberos fix for AD binding problems
Monday, November 14, 2011
Mehdi Mafi updated his Friday report about Mac OS X 10.6 problems binding to Active Directory:
You may want to add this. If the Mac keeps unbinding from AD (people can't log in to a Mac), here is how to fix it:
Unbind it from Domain
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
Re-establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
Bind it to domain again ( When you bind, uncheck allow authentication from any domain in the forest in: Directory Utilitiy-> Advanced Options\Administrative ) this fix the issue that sometimes it can' find AD under search space.
If you tried this please let us know.
Solution 5:
For Snow Leopard AD login issues, use upper case domain
Solution 6: for .local
To create this StartupItem, create the following directory as root:
/Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth
Then chown it to root:wheel and chmod it to 755. These must also be the owner/permissions on the two files it will contain, below:
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/FixADAuth:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
date > /var/log/FixADAuth.log
n=0
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local; n=$(($n+1))
done
echo Authentication successful: $AuthSuccess >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log echo Operation count: $n >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
date >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/StartupParameters.plist:
Description = "Fixes Active Directory authentication issue";
Uses = ("Disks");
Obviously you'll need to change "middlewich.local" to your own domain name (and the network interface name if your connection is wireless). The script checks to see if it can see the user "Administrator" on the domain, as he's a fairly common bloke, but if you've renamed yours for security reasons then pick another one. I've also included some logging functionality for debug purposes, so you can verify how well the script is working if you need to and time it in your environment before telling the users how long to wait. The /var/log/FixADAuth.log file will contain the date/time the process started, the success variable set to 1 (just to verify), how many DNS operations were required to fix the problem, and the date/time it ended. For us the time difference is normally about +30-40 seconds with around 120-180 operations taking place. Once you're happy with the script, you can strip it down to its bare functionality if you like, like so for us:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local
done
I hope this helps someone!

Why does Acrobot Pro no longer deliver correctly PDF printed results under Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5 ?

Hello!
When printing with Panther (Mac 10.3.9), my PDF printouts were always correct. Now, under Mac operating systems 10.4 and 10.5 the printouts from the ink jet printer are unusable – they are by at least 15% too dark, dark areas are slurred and oversaturated (all data RGB, CMYK)
- when compared to the print preview in Acrobat, InDesign or Photoshop
- compared to soft proof resp. print preview representing the ICC paper profile
- compared to the output from Photoshop, i.e. by opening the PDF file in PS to be printed under the same parameters
- compared to the PDF files which were printed under MAC 10.3.9 which are in line with the view on the screen and the printout made from the PDF opened under Photoshop
- i.e. Under Panther printout work, as generally under Photoshop – even under 10.4 and 10.5. According to my information, it also works under Windows XP.
The problem I am talking about occurs under an RGB print workflow with mixed data, RGB and CMYK, converted into the ICC output content or embedded profiles, self-created PDF files or official test charts.
It does not make any difference where PDFs came from (InDesign-Export CS2/3 or Postscript / Distiller) or which output profile or paper was used. The problem started once I had installed 10.4 on my G4 (Acrobat 7). The same under Acrobat 8 and 9 as well as under the Intel-Mac and Acrobat 9.
The only solution I have at the moment is an external bootable hard disk operative under Panther OS to generate correct PDF printouts now.
Thank you for your help,
Peter!

First try downloading the latest Driver for your printer.
then go to printer Utilityand delete the current listing for your printer. Quit Printer Utility
next install new Driver downloaded from Manufacturer
finally go back to Printer Utility and add the print Driver for your Printer.
Now open Acrobat.
choose a Document that you have been trying to print causing issues
print one or two pages of the document, choose pages that seem to cause the most problem.
check results.
if still an issue try the following:

Can't access Color Management options for HP 6700 under Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)

Hello.
I've got the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One and I can't find any way to access Color Management options.
The printer is attached (Wi-Fi) to my iMac running Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).
I want to correct a magenta cast to photographs that I've printed. I've had the magenta-cast problem under Lightroom and using Preview to print the photographs, so now I want to work with color profiles in Photoshop Elements.
Photoshop Elements recommends that I "disable color management in the printer preferences dialog".
However, I'm not able to find color management preferences for the 6700 in any of the settings under Mountain Lion:
Not under (Apple) > System Preferences > Print & Scan.
Not under (HP Utility) > Open Embedded Web Server.
Not under (HP Utility) > Printer Settings.
Not under Preview's print dialog.
Nor can I find any clear direction in the online help (at HP or elsewhere) that I've read so far.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
Michael
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please note that in the Print dialog I get "Color Matching" not "Color Management."
Still, I am (at this point) able to control color from Photoshop Elements, so that's good enough to proceed.
Thanks again.

Automator: Impossible to rename file using automator under Mac OS X Lion

Hi,
Before upgrade my iMac to MAC OS X Lion 10.7.2, I had service created with automator under snow leopard in order to rename my pictures file names by blocks instead of one by one. Since I'm using Lion, this one doesn't work anymore. I have completely recreate the service under Lion and the results is the same.
You can find below my workflow that is easy. The problem is the message error in the history of automator application. The message is "impossible to rename file "file name" because this one should create conflict with existing file". I already test a lot of times with different name where I'm sure that this one doesn't exist on my Mac but all the time without success (verify also with search function under mac)
If somebody can help me, it would be very interesting because I already tried to find answer on internet without success too.
Thanks in advance for your help.

the whole automator and in particular the record action was substantially rewritten in snow leopard. and the record action is slow, unreliable and you can't trouble-shoot it. it's a wonder it works at all. the only advice i can give is to use it as little as possible. if at all possible avoid it altogether. if you do need to use it try using keyboard strokes instead of the mouse movement. for example. use command+c and command+v for copying and pasting and use tabbing to choose the correct box on the page.

Copy and paste to a JTextArea under Mac OSX

Hello,
Mac OSX users complain about the lack of copy and paste functionality
when they run my small Java application. Unfortunately I don't own a
Mac so I cannot test it or find out where the problem is. When I run the
application under various versions of Linux or Windows I can copy and
paste by using the common keyboard shortcuts ctrl-c and ctrl-v.
Searching the web I found discussions here and there, some very old,
but none of them was realy solved or gave me an idea of what I could
try to change in order to make c&p work under Mac OSX.
So I need a little help. First I'd like to know if copy & paste works when
the app runs as applet or standalone application (the jar file can do both).
And, of course: why doesn't copy and paste work under Mac OSX?
The application can be found here (released under the GPL):
http://transtoba2.seige.net/
And please be mild, it is still in beta state. ;-)
Best regards
Leander

The following link helped me understand an issue with copy and paste
http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-12078
It seems to be down to the L&F you are using and how the key bindings are mapped.
In summary
OSX 10.4 , Safari and Firefox
To copy/paste in the Applet � Ctrl-C , Ctrl-V
To paste a value from Altio into the OSX environment use ^ V (^ is the Apple key)
To paste a value from OSX into Altio use Ctrl-V
Hope this works for you

Problem with Mac OS Client

Hi,
I have a PowerPC (PPC) Mac Mini with which I'm trying to contact a VPN3000 private network.
