Mac OS X 10.4.4 fixes shadow and colour issues in PDFs?

Apple's release notes for the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update state:
Shadows within a PDF document created in Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later are visible in Adobe Reader as well.
Resolves an issue in which some PDF files could appear with inverted colors in Preview or other applications.
These two fixes might rid us of Pages' PDF issues.

The wireless problems are not operating system specific, contrary to popular belief. They are specific to issues of bad firmware on the access points, loose wireless cards, or interference from external sources, or third party software that plays havoc with the wireless drivers. Here's my guide* to attempting to resolve most wireless problems. While I titled it 10.4.8, it has been found to affect not just 10.4.8, by every version of Mac OS to some extent and Windows too when certain issues are happening.

Mac Pro freezes after sleep, wont shut down, and 5870 issue

Hi,
I just got my new Mac Pro 3.33Ghz hexacore a couple of days ago and I've been having some issues with it.
1) When waking up the comp from sleep and its been cold for a while, the Mac Pro freezes. I can still move the mouse but that's about it. So, I have to do a hard restart. But...
2) Since last night I'm not able to turn the MP off. When I try to shut it down from the menu it closes all the apps and nothing but the background and dock shows and it gets stuck there. So I have to do a hard restart, but when pressing down the power button it just goes to sleep rather then shutting down, so only way to turn it off is to pull out the cord.
3) And the last problem I'm having is in bootcamp. When I play games (Battlefield Bad Company 2 or Crysis) the computer freezes after 3 min or so. The screen either turns blue or black and I have to shut it down. I am able to do the hard restart in Windows 7, in fact I just have to press the power button ones and it shuts off correctly.
I'm really frustrated since in the last 2 months I've had 3 iMacs and this MP and all have had problems. My old 20in iMac has been running for a couple of years now and has never had any problem...
Also, if I have to take it to the Apple store, is there anyway a tech can come to my house? I'm tired of going to the Apple store all the time, its a big hassle taking the comp there, plus I don't feel like they're really helping me.
Thanks for your help!

just wanted to update you guys on what the official stance of OWC is on this situation. I had the same problem like you guys. I have the 240GB OWC extreme pro SSD in my Mac Pro 3,1. When it goes to sleep, and i leave it sleeping for a day -- upon returning, it will freeze up with the spinning wheel of death.
This is what they had to say about it:
"While Sleep will work with our SSDs, there have been reports of system hangs in relation to hibernation mode which is the deep state of Sleep. We suggest not using ANY program that puts your computer into hibernation mode when using an SSD. SandForce is working on this issue and it will be addressed in a future firmware update.
Normal, automatic sleep mode functions perfectly with no issues. But if you need to try and fix the hibernation issue with your Mac revision, please Open up Terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal) and go through the following steps:
Type: sudo pmset hibernatemode 0
Press: return/enter.
Type: your password when it prompts you to, then press return/enter again.
You have successfully disabled hibernation! Go ahead and exit Terminal.
Also, some have chose to use the application SmartSleep, which is free online. http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/26979/smartsleep
SmartSleep is an application that you can use to set the hibernation mode on your computer.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter and hope you will continue to bear with us as our extreme SSD product line transitions through these evolutions and unforeseen road bumps. Please let us know if there's anything else we may do to help."
--I would like to add that the OWC SSD is great. And since Downloading smart sleep and disabling deep sleep aka hibernate, the issue has been totally resolved. Im pretty sure the terminal entry works just as well. But I liked the added convenience of the other features of smartsleep. So there you go guys.

DROP SHADOWS AND VIDEO ISSUES

I am using Windows7 and ID CS5. I have discovered that having more than one drop shadow causes ID to redraw the entire page after every action. Move a text box a fraction of an inch and it redraws everything. This usually takes between 15-20 seconds to do. Has anyone else had this problem? I have 24 gigs of ram and dual video cards @ 1gb memory each and not sure why the drop shadows would cause this type of problem. Other than doing the layout and then adding the drop shadows at the end, any other insight would be appreciated.

You can check these settings:-
1) Turn off the preflight from the Windows-->Output-->Preflight
2) Change the Live screen drawing to "Never" under Edit-->Preferences-->Interface
3) Change the Display performance to "Typical" if it is set to "High Quality" , under View-->Display Performance

H.264 .mov problem how can you fix thumbnail and sound issue in Imovie08

Hi Experts,
So I used Dvdxdv to rip my personal DVD's to my mac. Since the files were 1.69gb each for a small amount of video, I used quicktime to compress them to H.264 the codecs is Integer(little Endian),H.264 to be exact. An 8 minute video is now 1.09g vs 1.69gb. for the record it is a 2channel total bitrate of 19519. The problem I have is when I load these into Imovie the Thumbnails all show the same picture (sometimes just gray & some show different every once and a while but mainly as described). This may not be a problem to me if the video matched the sound but it does not. It will when you play outside of Imovie using just the file in quicktime but not within I movie. Any thoughts? Is it the size? Please advise as I have used DV files and had no problem. I thought .mov as long as it was H264 would work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ge

Sorry Video size just incase this makes a difference is 720X480
thanks

PO created for fixed asset and other issues

1)Where does asset clearing account or CIP clearing account picks up in while creating a Purchase order for a fixed asset ?Is it from the item itself while defined or any other place ?
2)How does the accounting line flows from Fixed asset to General ledger especially for CIP assets?
3)How can a asset be attached to corporate book and tax book ,what is the set up required ?
Thanks
Jogendra

1)Where does asset clearing account or CIP clearing account picks up in while creating a Purchase order for a fixed asset ?Is it from the item itself while defined or any other place ?
Account gets defaulted from Item if it is there, if not you have to enter manually.But if you have customized your account generator, you have to look at the account generator.
2)How does the accounting line flows from Fixed asset to General ledger especially for CIP assets?
If you are creating a PO for an expense item, and have used CIP Asset Clearing Account in the PO Distributions it gets eligble. When you invoice this PO, this CIP Clearing Account gets Debited.
Cr Liability 100
Dr CIP Clearing Account 100
Obviously as this is setup as an asset account (flexfield qualifiers) this gets eligble for the mass addition transfers once you validate and account the invoice. When you run the mass additions create and post, these accounting entries will get created.
Cr CIP Clearing Account 100
Dr CIP Asset Cost Account 100
These accounts are defined at the asset category. The asset category for the mass additions is taken from the item setup (Purchasing Tab). Ofcourse this can be entirely different in R12.
Asset Book is derived based the asset category. Create Journal Entries program transfers the accounting entries to GL. Assets Creates the entries for the CIP Addition process in FA before transferring them to GL.
3)How can a asset be attached to corporate book and tax book ,what is the set up required ?
First you create a corporate book and then create a tax book and assign corporate book to this. WHile creating the tax book if you check the Allow CIP Asset check box (Tax Rules tab), the asset will automatically get copied into the tax book.

You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
From Readers Digest-February, 2005
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.

Firefox constantly freezes on my Mac, although I've installed the latest version and tried all suggested fixes - without success.

I used Firefox up to version 3.5 and it worked well. But ever since, FF has frozen as soon as I've opened a webpage other than Google. FF even freezes when I'm in Mozilla's help pages !
I have trashed and reinstalled several times, updated constantly as suggested. I'm now using (or trying to use) version 25. No success.
I have done everything that was suggested :
- trashed and reinstalled ( several times over the years, to see if new versions of FF would work)
- restarted FF in safe mode
- tweaked the profile as recommended
- I've painstakingly checked that all my plug-ins etc were up to date. They are.
None of these solutions have worked. As I have written more than once, none of them should be necessary : Firefox should "just work". After all, other browsers do - I use Safari and Chrome, for instance, as well as SeaMonkey. Does any
one know what's happening ?
I'm now running Mac OS 10.9.

A moderator (AliceWyman, whom I thank for her post) suggests I reset Firefox. I've done that, more than once.
The problem remains. And so does my question : why does Firefox keep on hanging/freezing ?
Why should fixes be necessary? Mozilla, in its Firefox page, generously offers the browser free, and users assume that it will, simply, work. In my case, it doesn't.
And as I've said: I've tried a whole range of fixes and workarounds (that aren't necessary with other browsers) and they haven't worked. If my iMac can handle all the other browsers with no problem, this indicates that the computer works, and that the other browsers do too. So this problem seems to be a specific Firefox one.
As I've already said, I could just give up and use Safari, Chrome, Chromium, SeaMonkey, Maxthon, or Slimboat, for instance.
But it irks me that FF, with such a good reputation (it's the third most widely used browser), should behave in this way.
"Different by design", says its webpage. Well, it's certainly different. Can anyone help? I've been asking these questions, trying "fixes", trashing and clean-reinstalling for about a week now.

It means, tentatively, that system files are missing or damaged and you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard. See the following:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this?

I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this? It bugs me when I'm looking at real estate.

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

FCP X: Mac Pro Freezes when I turn on "Analyze and Fix" media

Hello,
I see this happening regularly ever since I started using Final Cut Pro X. If I turn on "Analyze and Fix" on my imported media files, my Mac Pro freezes up after a while. I am forced to power cycle the Mac Pro at this point.
I am running Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on a Mac Pro with 8 cores, 10GB RAM. My primary hard disk for the video editing is not the same one as the OS disk - I use a second internal drive for video and all projects / events are stored here.
If I check off / turn off analyze / fix in the background, my Mac Pro does not crash. System log does not reveal anything.
Any ideas on what can be done to fix this? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
-Balu

Yes - I go to the "Analyze and Fix" menu and check mark video and audio analysis and let it crunch in the background. It goes on for an hour or two. At some point, I have to power cycle my Mac Pro. It freezes up.
I see this happening on Lion OS as well...
If I don't run analyze and fix, i have absolutely no issues..
Any thoughts?
Thx,
-Balu

Power Mac Lion Won't Boot! Fixes

Ok, I have the following: 2 x 2.66 Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Power Mac that had 10.6.8, 4 GB MHz DDR@ FB-Dimm Ram over 4 slots. I had the original hard drive (Western Digital Caviar SE 250gb Ram HD model #WD2500AAJS-41RYA0) drive in this morning, and cloned it to a Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB 7200rpm 32 Cache Hard Drive. When I formated the new drive, I did it journaled. I took out the Western Digital and made the Seagate Barracuda the boot drive. I also installed a second drive, a Seagare Barracuda SATA 2 TB 7200rpm in bay 2. That drive is not journaled since I am storing video on it. Both of the new drives were formated properly and without issue. They worked all day without issue. This evening, I downloaded Lion without issue. It installed and rebooted. Everytime the computer boots, it goes to the "you need to reboot screen" aka "Mac Kernel Panic Screen" with four languages. Here is a link to the image: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742. Any ideas of what is happening or what I did wrong? Any thoughts on what happened? Any fixes? Help please. Do you need any other information?

OK. ALSO, I installed the OLD hard drive on its own and it boots fine. It seems like it can't find the new drive. Thoughts?
