    You need to give more details:
    1. What version of Pages?
    2. Where did you get the Greek dictionary from and exactly how did you install it?
    3. Are you applying the language to your text?

  • Possible Login Screen Security Hole in Lion?

    I think that I have found a glitch in the login screen in Lion that allows a user to hack in to an account without a password! It appears to occur on Macbooks with OS X Lion and here is how to reproduce it:
    Make sure that you account is password-protected and that you require a password 5 seconds after the screen saver/sleep begins. Also, be sure that you have the default "hot corner" settngs and OS X Lion. Lastly, make sure that Finder is on the farthest left icon on your dock and that your screen saver is set to spectrum!
    Close all open windows to see your desktop.
    Now, close you Macbook lid, wait 10 seconds, and open it up. You should see a screen similar to the one shown below, but with your wallpaper & info: 
    Now forcefully (yes, forcefully) restart your Mac by pressing down command, control, and the power button at the same time.
    Wait for your Mac to start up and you should see the same screen you saw (like the image above.)
    Click in the battery/time/wifi signal/etc. area in the top right corner without mousing over the courner.
    Now, mouseover the top right corner of the screen, as it will launch some kind of odd "mission control". From there, ANYONE can control your Mac without seeing your screen. From there, mouse over where you think Finder is on the dock (in the bottom-left corner of the dock) without mousing over and corners of the screen and click it. That SHOULD launch finder on your Mac.
    The login screen should reappear! (Odd, isn't it?)
    Now, mouseover the bottom-left corner and hold esc as soon as the screen turns completely dark. If sucessful, you should see your screensaver show up. While holding esc, move your mouse around towards the bottom-right corner. You should see your cursor over top of the "wheel of doom".
    The screen should flicker and you have hacked in to your account! Funny, isn't it?
    You should see finder over top of your desktop if you located finder correctly in step 7! Cool?
    If you are not sucessful, restart the entire process from step 4 and skip steps 7-8. If it doesn't work out for you after a few attemps, give up! Let's not waste any time on hacking in to an account (unless you are a hacker.)
    Is it just me or can anyone else reproduce this? If it occurs (or not), please list your Macbook's specs and details in a reply.

    One of the options in the security panel permits a user to require that a username and password be entered to login once the screen saver locks your account.
    The option is "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver"
    Although one would assume that the credentials required to wake the computer is the username/password of the account that was being used when the computer went into sleep mode or the screen saver.
    Never assume
    WRONG!!! Anyone with an account on the machine can enter their username/password and wake the computer and voila that user now has control of the machine as the former user. That's right you guessed it HUGE security hole.
    Anyone with a standard user account? Are you quite sure?
    Anyone thinking that they can wake away from their machine and have the screen saver or sleep mode protect their account after a specified period of time is sadly mistaken. Anyone with an account on the machine can enter their own username and password and drop right into your account right where you left off.
    I never think that way. A more secure lock is ensured by using the screen lock feature of the keychain.
    Can you believe this stuff?
    Not sure what stuff you refer to.
    No warning, no release note to tell you of such a poorly designed "security" option.
    Would you believe that anyone can access your computer? Stolen computers are regularly started up without much problem.
    Apple please fix what must have been an oversight or at least tell people about this intentional design BEFORE they find anyone can wake the computer and become you as a user.
    You are writing to other users like yourself here, not Apple.
    I also presume you are new to the Mac world.

  • Mac OS X Lion Problems (Sound, Resolution, Missing Partition, and Crashes)

    Ohia everybody! So recently I installed Mac OS X Lion (GM) on my Mac Mini. It's been installed for about 2 weeks, but I quickly noticed a couple of problems with it.
    Problem 1 - Screen Resolution:
    When I had Snow Leopard installed and I held alt to switch into Windows, the menu that appeared to let you switch partitons resolution was correct. Now it seems to be 800x600. Same thing with the boot screen with the Apple logo. When the actual OS is booted up, the resolution is correct (1600x900). Why is it doing this with Lion and now when I had Snow Leopard?
    Problem 2 - Windows Partition:
    Before I installed Lion, I had a Windows partition set up using BootCamp. I was able to see the Windows partition on my Macs desktop as well as my Mac partiton. Now it doesn't show up at all, and when I go to Disk Utility, it shows up as BOOTCAMP, and its greyed off. When I click on it and try to mount it, it just said that it couldn't be mounted. Nothing more. I can still boot into it just fine, but I can't view files, which is quite useful when transfering files between the operating systems.
    Problem 3 - Speakers Buzzing:
    On Snow Leopard, when I went to play a sound, the speakers were completely quiet and the sound came out nicely. Now, the speakers will be quiet, and when I get a notification or something, the speakers will have a quiet buzzing sound and will continue buzzing for a few minutes after the sound is over. When I play another sound, they will start buzzing again. It never used to do this before Lion, so I'm sure its not the speakers. Hopefully someone has any info on this because I'm clueless.
    Problem 4 - Safari Crashes:
    Last problem! Sometimes on Lion (not on Snow Leopard), if I leave Safari open for a little bit, it will randomly crash. It usually doesn't do it while I'm browsing, but if I'm uploading pictures or videos and I just leave it open, I will come back to my computer and it will say safari crashed.
    Note:
    I always keep my computer up to date, and have googled all of these problems before with no help. Hopefully someone get help me fix any of these problems.

    So I am not the only one with this issue. The sound of my imac g5 sounds buzzing as well. I am hoping for a fix from Apple soon.

  • Login screen freezes after the Lion 10.7.1 update

    After updating to 10.7.1 (the first Lion update) & restarting the system, it's not logging me in. As I give my password and press return it stays on the same login screen. I could move the mouse but there is no rotating wheel, just the same login screen. I tried starting Mac in safe mode but same thing.

    Force a restart and at the chime hold down the SHIFT key. You will see a gray progress bar appear. When the login screen appears, reboot again WITHOUT holding down the SHIFT key. Then try logging in again.

  • Login screen black on Mountain Lion

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro 13 early 2011 to Mountain Lion yesterday.
    I am having a problem with the login screen. About 50% of the time when I reboot, the login screen is completely blank, just plain black. The other screens I have connected show the linnen background as normal.
    The login screen is there as I can login by:
    pressing down arrow
    pressing enter
    typing my password
    pressing enter
    I have tried the various to try and fix it:
    zapping PRAM
    repairing the boot volume
    repairing permissions
    disconnecting my other displays
    None of that did any good, it still keeps doing it.

    It looks like this is being caused my the driver for my DisplayLink USB display adapter.
    The driver was also causing Finder and Skype to crash.

  • Upgrading to Mac OS X lion - problems having a bootcamp partition?

    I was just wondering if i should delete my bootcamp partition running windows 7 before i install Mac OS X Lion?
    Btw, the format of the partition is NTFS (if this is at all relavent).

    No just leave it. It's unaffected by the lion update. if you edited your Bootcamp partition afterwards look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649
    Do make sure that your Mac disk is error free (run disk utility) and that you have > 15gb free.

  • Slow login with Mac OS X Lion and OD

    I have server 10.6 with all the latest updates.  Clients with 10.6 login just fine with OD and home folder stored on server.  10.7 lion clients login extremely slowly with exact same setup.  Any ideas?

    I am on Cogeco but I don't think that sounds right, I would contact Shaw if you haven't already. What does speedtest say?

  • Login screen input sources

    Whenever I log out of OS X it changes my input source from Colemak to back to English and removes Colemak from the login input sources menu.
    This is infuriating and as prematurely balding man I have little hair left as it but this is driving me made.
    This didn't previously happen under earlier versions of OS X.
    Can anyone suggest a solution to force the default layout to Colemak for the login screen and help save what's left of my barnet?
    Cheers,
    Sean.

    @laundry bleach
    Hi, we have two accounts on the Mac at home and my account worked well with the new Mac App Store. The other account met the "Login Screen Not Accepting Input." problem.
    Both accounts have administrator rights.
    I followed your advice about the
    com.apple.storeagent.plist
    com.apple.appstore.plist
    trashed the babies, rebooted the stuff and…
    It did not arrange anything on the account which already did not work.
    and… the worst part of the cake :
    It somewhat scr*wed-up my own account… I cannot even log on the Mac App Store, saying :
    +"Unable to find and connect to the agent.+
    +Is it running?"+
    I checked : both have been recreated on the Prefs folder (and the cookie's for the com.apple.appstore.plist
    This one does not seem to resolve any problem in that case. :!

    Really? Want to show me that button or setting that allows that? AFAIK, System Preferences->Security->General->is where you set that when the machine sleeps or screensaver activates. Accordingly, I'm only aware of a hot corner triggering those two options and the behavior remains the same in Lion, even though the prefPane's name is slightly changed.

  • I downloaded OS X Lion on my iMac and I'm having problems with my computer waking up after hibernating.  I can get to the login screen but my mouse will be frozen.  The only fix's is a hard reboot.  Any help would be great!

    Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
    1. SMC
    Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2. PRAM
    Follow the procedure below:
    1. Power down the machine.
    2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    command–option–P–R
    3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally.

  • Lion login screen problems on Mid 2009 MacBook Pro

    After upgrading my wife's Mid 2009 MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion we are seeing weird behavior on the login screen after the computer wakes from sleep mode.
    The screen is only partially drawn (usually the top left 1/4 of the screen), and the grey background is shown instead of her desktop background picture. When you move the mouse around on the screen, it repaints blocks on the screen where the pointer has been.
    This only seems to happen when the machine sleeps for a long period of time, e.g., overnight. When it just sleeps for a little while we don't see the issue.
    When searching the forums for anyone else with the problem, several folks said that there was an issue with the video drivers for the 9400M card and recommended switching to the 9600M GT, but her machine only has the 9400M in it.
    All other aspects of the system work fine.
    Anyone else seeing this? Any clues?

    Surprised there hasn't been anyone else experiencing this issue.
    I have seen this on 2 new MBP 2.3mhz i5's with the Intel HD 3000 384mb graphics, Lion 10.7.3 & 10.7.4.
    Also with the latest Lion firmware for the late 2011 MBP's that addresses compatibility and stability issues.
    Hopefully there is a fix soon because the painting on my locked screen to login is getting annoying
