List view shows black spaces where letters should be
G5, dual 2.5GHrz, 10.3.9
Just recently when I'm in list view, spaces appear where letters should be. In Icon and Column view everything appears correctly. I have shut down and restarted and corrected permissions. None of that seems to help. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Tom
I found a solution. I moved the preference file named "com.apple.desktop.plist" from the /Users/HomeFolder/Library/Preferences to the desktop and restarted.

Photobooth & iPhoto show black screen where photos should be??
My iPhoto shows a black screen whenever I click on a picture. I can't see the photo when I want to edit it and it does not let me enlarge any of the pictures.
Also, my Photo Booth shows a black screen where its supposed to show the webcam picture. If I click on the white space where the thumbnails of previous pictures are supposed to show up, it pops up a different screen with the pictures already taken. But, I still cannot see the webcam picture.
If anybody could help solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!You may have some damaged software.
If the problems are the same after restarting your Mac, reinstall Mac OS X 10.9.

I am unable to print cd covers. All I get is the songlist on one side and a black space where the picture should be. Any suggestions?
Thanks Bob.
I am thinking along the same line.
It's interesting that some of the unaffected graphics in the document come up as embedded, but some are just placed there with no link information.
I guess it's just a matter of how the original graphic was treated or saved. -
List View shows all tracks of CD, grid view is missing tracks
I imported all my CDs into my iTunes library over the holidays. Over 40 GB of music. Now, I discover a flakey problem. On a CD, if I view via list view, the library shows 13 tracks. When switching to grid view and double-clicking on album, it shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12
When I use windows explorer, the iTunes folder only shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12. Yet I can play all 13 tracks on PC and iPod. Where are the 'missing' tracks being stored and why don't they show in both views? This is happening on quite a lot of the CDs that were imported, but others are fine.This is most likely due to the content of the ID3 tags in the imported files. If a track features more than one artist, iTunes uses the first artist in the list to sort and organise the files. So one or more files imported from a CD might be stored in another artist's folder. iTunes plays the full album because it knows where all the tracks are (by virtue of the iTunes library database).
To get around this problem, edit the information for all the tracks on an album so the the "Artist" tag has the main artist first in the list. -
Calendar List view shows entries under the wrong date
I just upgraded to iOS4 and finding that my calendar entries are appearing under the wrong date in the calendar list view when I am viewing two calendars.
- List view is ok when viewing 1 calendar
- Day and Month views are ok at all times (ie: viewing single or multiple calendars)
- I have 2 Exchange accounts
- Calendar entries are appearing in the correct order, but under the incorrect date heading.
- When I intially added the Exchange accounts the calendar list view was fine at first (I could see both calendars correctly in list view) but after a short time later it became screwed up.
Anyone else experience this?Same problem here since my upgrade to iOS4 - but I only noticed today.
I have 3 calendars set up:
Gmail (Exchange)
UK Holidays (iCal)
Birthdays
The exchange calendar is always wrong but the other two are correct when my exchange calendar is switched off.
It has mucked up my scheduling a bit for the next month. I only became suspicious when I noticed the Scottish Bank Holiday Monday at the beginning of August was showing on FRIDAY, 30th of July! -
List View Showing Multiple Entries for Certain Records
I've been updating my large mp3 library with album art in order to make the list view more useful and fun to look at. With just a handful of records however I've noticed that they're getting split into multiple entries. For instance, Album X shows up twice, with one entry displaying only song 1 and the other entry displaying the rest of the songs.
I've looked hard at the tags but I don't see any difference. All the records in question were ripped using iTunes so they're not coming from different sources either.
Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated! Cheers.Thanks again; I tried the solution this morning and it fixes the problem. I've marked the thread as such. Unfortunately it's a lot of fiddly updating, but hey, it's better than no workaround at all.

List view shows duplicate (or blank) places in the same list
When I look at the Places List view, and select "Hawaii" in column two, column three gives me the following list:
[blank]
[blank]
Kauai
Kauai
Maui
Oahu
One of those [blank] ones contains kauai places in column 4. The other one contains big island places in island 4. So, Kauai places are listed in 3 separate sections. One of these Kauai sections clearly lists the places that I have named manually. The [blank] kauai one lists 4 different auto-named towns in kauai, containing mostly photos from my iphone. And the third one lists auto-named places. Some of the same place names are listed in more than one of these sections. This duplication of names also occurs in column 4 as well, where the names of the places were autonamed by iphoto.
This duplication in column 3 and 4 is incredibly annoying. I'm aware that I could retag all of my photos so that all of them fall under a manually named place, but that sorta defeats the whole purpose of the gps tags, and it results in all the locations in one event becoming homogenized.
How can I fix this?Do you have a backup copy of your iPhoto Library made just prior to upgrading to 10.10.3 and Photos? If so do the following:
1 - restore it
2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down
3 - select the library and close iPhoto
4 - relaunch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and apply the following two first aid processed to the library:
Option #1, Repair Library Permissions
Option #2, Rebuild Thumbnails
Option #4, Rebuild Library Database
5 - launch Photos with the Option key held down , select, open and convert the rebuild iPhoto library
6 - check to see if the blank thumbnails issue is resolved -
Is it Possible to Change Song List Background to Black w/ White Lettering?
I have the grid view in black and have Silent Night which changes everything else other than the song list and left side-bar to black. Would love to complete my blackout state. I spend lots of time listening to music in the dark. White is the devil.
Thank youIf you take receipt, iPhone, box and everything that came it the box back to the place you purchased it for complete return and refund. Then buy the iPhone you want. Apple will not change the color for you.

Hi, I currently have 5 links lists out of which 4 links lists have around 30 odd list items and the rest 1 have just 3 list items. All of this links list are added as ListViewWebPart on a wiki page. All these listview web parts are configured for "Summary
Toolbar" and show all the items within the list.
My question is, even if the listview web parts are configured to show "All Items" why is it that the ListViewWebPart shows "More Links" on the bottom of the web parts? Is there any OOB way to remove it. I don't want to customize using SPD nor i want to export
web parts.
Thanks, Mayur JoshiThis, right here, is an example of one of the most annoying things about Microsoft. On the one hand, Microsoft keeps pushing code-free solutions; they want to make it easier and easier for "Content Managers" to manage their own SharePoint sites, Excel spreadsheets,
etc. etc. without having to bother developers. I am with them on this, to a point. However, they also want to HARD-CODE their options so you HAVE TO USE an OOTB solution to hide it! What is wrong with letting us change the settings of the Web Part, or the
View, to turn off "More Links"? Why do I have to go to JQuery, or SharePoint Designer? WHY??? Give us an OOTB solution for things like this!
UPDATE: Here is a fix, but it does require CSS. Add a Content Editor Web Part with this code. The (More Links...) and (More Announcements...) tags both use the id "onetidMoreAnn". You can then export the CEWB as a Web Part and drop it on every page.
Again, I would like an OOTB solution, but this will have to do.

Black image where JPG should be
Hi all,
I'm new to video editing, but have been working on a simple video consisting of AVIs and JPGs, and have run into a problem I can't figure out.
At various points in the movie, I have multiple images flash by consecutively (6 or so per second). A few of them, however, are simply black and in the exported video show nothing but sound still plays. I've checked the image from the folder it's in on my computer and it's fine, as well as clicking "Edit Original" in Premiere, the image pops up in my default viewer (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer).
However, it just won't appear in the video. Other JPGs, including the ones before and after it, appear. Just not these few. (Few is relative, I'm having trouble with about 20 of them). I've tried deleting them from the bin and adding it again, but it continues to be black. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? Thanks.I have also read that some digital cameras add "extra" information to the file header that is not compatible with Premiere
Solution is to open in Photoshop and resave... then try that with Premiere
Or, convert to the TIF or PSD formats -
Open directory list not showing at startup, where do i start to look
If my suite of iMacs are not picking up the open directory list at startup and I know they have the correct details, what process should I go through to find the problem. The server all looks ok, but after recent changes made by our local authority the list no longer shows up.
The server is running 10.5
Could DNS be the problem for example. I have limited experience of setting up osx servers.
Regards Peter.I presume you mean the login window is not listing the Open Directory user accounts? This actually is the normal default behaviour for the login window.
Is your login window showing just two boxes for the user name and password, or is it listing just local user accounts? If it is listing some user accounts is "Other" in that list?
When I used to run 10.5 Server, I used to create a Computer Group, add all my client computers to that group and set a managed preference for that group to force my client computers to show a full list of Open Directory accounts. You do this as follows -
Launch Workgroup Manager
Login to Workgroup Manager
If you don't already have a suitable one, create a new Computer group
If needed add all your client computers to this Computer group
Now with that Computer group still selected, click on the Preferences icon at the top of the Workgroup Manager window
Click on the Login choice on the left
You should now see at the top a set of radio buttons for Never, Once, or Always - choose Always
If you now look in the main part of the window you should see options for things like Style - List of users (which is what you want) and under that tick boxes for Show network users (which is also what you want)
When you have set things as desired, click on the Apply Now button in the bottom right
You will need to reboot the client computer to test this
Note: If you have a really large number of user accounts it might take a while to draw the list of accounts in the Login screen. I had about 70 and it was fairly fast. -
Mouse Pointer shows "Edit Cursor" "|" where it should be a arrow (pointer)
I have noticed that at times the mouse pointer shows a Edit cursor when it should be
a standard mouse arrow.
This happens when a leave one application and navigate to another application.
I am able to use the "|" cursor to click, but it seems rather odd.
I would really like to know if someone else has noticed this?Are you using Fast User Switching (FUS)? Are you running an application that keeps a window always on top?
I have encountered a reproducible problem which causes the mouse pointer to fail to revert to the default arrow. I do not know if it is a general OS X issue, or caused by this specific app only (I just reported the problem to the app vendor, will report back on the resolution).
In my case, if user "A" is running a program that has an "always on top" window, and that application has the "focus", and I then use FUS to switch to any other user, the mouse pointer for that user will "stick" in its most recent variation - be it a pointing finger (for a link), an edit cursor, a window resize cursor, etc. If you move from a link for example to a text box, the cursor will change to the new form, but it will not revert to the default arrow. To "solve" the problem, do this:
before using FUS to change to another user, click on another application (e.g. the Finder), so that the problem application does not have the "focus". Does any of this relate to your problem? -
IE7 doesn't show put Sidebar1 where it should be
Will someone please look at my website: www.giselleaguiar.com on IE7. It looks fine in Firefox, the sidebar1 should be on the left side not up next to the header on the right. I've tried changing the float, width, margins, padding to no avail. I'm stumped. It looks ok in Dreamweaver and when I check browser compatibility, nothing comes up.

Thats the weirdest part. I think it might just be really quick boot time, because I've been having to reboot a good bit lately, and it actually worked every other time or so. I think the black screen might just be SDDM trying to catch up or something. Weird, but I'll take it I suppose. -
IPod Showing Less Space Than It Should
Hi
I've got a 4G 40GB iPod which I use for both music and storing data. Now I've just removed a few GBs of work I had stored on there leaving only about 100 MB of files. My iTunes library comes to 33GB but my iPod says I only have 700 MB spare.
Now I know its capacity is really only about 37GB but that should still leave me with another 3Gb of current free space.
Are there some kind of hidden files or have the files I moved to the trash not actually been removed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was just returning to the board to withdraw this question as I realised I hadn't actually dumped the trash.
Thanks for your quick reply though. Much appreciated.
I'm off to soak my head. -
Mail shows a ? where photos should be
In the past I was able to see photos in my mail. Now when I open up an email there is a ? where the photos used to be. I looked at some of the settings but I haven't been able to resolve this yet. Thanks for any help!
OK I sent myself a photo as was able to display it. The photos in the email I think they are imbedded in the email. If I right click on the photos they do not show up as a link. They display properly in Yahoo Mail and did also display on my Iphone at one time. I was thinking I set something that caused this problem. Thanks again for the help.
