Mac OSX 10.8.2,Lightroom4,glitch/bug?
I will try to explain this as simply as possible. With Lightroom 2, running Mac OSX 10.8.2, I could insert a CF card into my connected card reader and Lightroom2 would open and open TO the import window. Now with Lightroom4, this doesn't happen. Lightroom DOES open, but not to the import window. It opens to the last session I was in, in Lightroom4. "Show Import Window When a Memory Card is Detected" IS checked in my preferences.
I read the identical description of this problem today that someone else posted in an Adobe users forum. (See http://www.lightroomforums.net/archive/index.php/t-14722.html) Is this a "bug", or something that can be repaired now?
Any feedback welcome. BTW, I spent 2hours with Adobe "experts" who didn't understand what I was asking. I don't know an easier way to explain it than when I put my CF card in my card reader I want LR4 to open up with the import dialog window. Simple as that. It did in LR2, why not LR4?
Thanks VERY much.
After working on this case with a senior apple tech firstly I have to say I'm very impressed with their ownership and support. We've narrowed the problem down to the USB 3.0 Hub. I've replaced it with a Belkin 7 port powered USB 2.0 HUB F5U237 rev 3 and I can now switch frequencies all day long if I like Now I dont know if the problem is related to this particular Targus Hub or the Macbook Pro's USB 3.0? I'd still like this resolved as I'd like to be able to use the USB 3.0 Hub for HDD USB 3.0

Hello all,
The Wi-Fi 1.0 patch will not install on a 10.7.4 Mac OSX even though the Wi-Fi loss bug is still there, every now and then (the iMac does not detect any wi-fi network).
Are there any other solutions regarding this issue ?
kind regardsI figured out the problem.
This is going to sound a little crazy, but I've spent a lot of time on this one.
There's some kind of incompatibility with Lion and Seagate ST31000340AS drives. I was trying to install Lion on these drives and it would consistently fail. I've also tried to use these drives in a RAID volume. No go. I tried three different drives of this model. All of them failed.
I tried to install Lion on a Seagate ST31000528AS and it worked first time and sings beautifully. -
JDev Mac OSX bugs in Apple forum
Hi-
Just wanted to let JDev people know that I've been posting several JDev10G Mac OSX bugs to the Technologies/Apple forum under the topic 'JDev 10G works on OSX!'.
I know: not officially supported betaware - but its there all the same. Generally JDev works quite nice under OSX as long as the Oracle LnF is used.
--Eric EvermanThanks!
We have some people here running JDev on Mac OS/X as well. Glad to hear it's more or less working for you too.

Hi all
I've been configuring Mac OSX Servers for a while, but in every configuration I have seen many bugs in Access lists.
For example, if I put a group in an access list and then I add an user to the group, the ACL is not applied to that user. I have to add it manually to the ACL.
Is it normal? I've read the whole documentation, but no clues on what makes this happen.
Also if I put "special" permissions into a folder (for example, anybody DENY delete this folder only) it doesn't work. The permissions is the first in the list.
the effective permissions inspector works with the second try (I drag and drop the same folder two times and different permissions appear).
Does anybody have issues like these?
Thank you.There's not enough information to provide you with an answer....
Please post an example of the ACL in use, and the output of an "id" command (available via Terminal.app and the shell) from the errant user; of one of the failing configurations.
Whether there's a file server involved here can also be a potential factor; are the files involved with the ACLs being served to other hosts by (for instance) AFP or Samba/SMB/CIFS/Windows file server?
Your forum footer also shows OS X 10.5.8, but there's a tag for 10.6 listed - more recent versions of OS X do tend to work better here - but which OS X version are you working with? -
Weird Video Card Glitch in XP vs Mac OSX
Hi, so my problem isn't really a problem exactly, but it's got me stumped. I'm running a mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro, which has both Mac OSX and Windows XP SP3. In OSX, the system tells me I'm running a Nvidia 9400m at 256 mb vram, yet Windows XP tells me my 9400 m has 512 mb vram. I checked on my Mac to see if I had a better card on as well, but energy saver had no options for higher performance. So I guess that rules that option out.
Any answers? Thanks for your time.
Message was edited by: guile147Right, that's what I thought, but then I had read some stuff about some of the RAM being used to give to the video card, and It got me thinking. Anyone else have information about this?

How do I bundle a jre with an RCP appl on Mac OSX
Hi,
We are making an RCP appl with kepler.
I want to ship the jre's with the appl.
On windows I can just ship a jre dir in the root, no problem.
On the Mac (10.8.4) it does not seem to work, at least not in an obvious way.
I downloaded the latest 1.7 jre (25) for Mac from the oracle website.
I tried the following:
unzip it and put it in a jre dir in the root => not used, falling back to system jre
same and put '-vm' in the ini => error saying 1.6.0_51 is not supported (huh? I do not even have 1.6)
I tried exporting an appl (with bundled jre) from eclipse using the product definition. That works but when I look at the generated appl tree I see a jre dir with another jre dir inside it ??? The inner jre dir seems to be a (partial) duplicate of the outer one.
Ok, sort of at least, now I tried to copy my downloaded jre dir inside itself. That works, but if I remove the contents of one of them it does not work anymore and I do not really want to ship a double jre.
Can anybody shed some light here?
What is the optimal way to bundle a jre with an RCP application on Mac OSX?
Thanks,
TomI have done this within our product and have it working. It's tricky because if you're using Maven to build, OS X's JRE symlink's libjvm.dylib - which Java's unzip invariably screws up.
I was only able to get this to work by using Tycho, as the app export within the PDE is just plain broken (and seemingly unmaintained). This bug has been there for quite some time - I don't have any faith in it ever getting fixed, regardless of whatever bugzilla says.
If you're building RCP apps for distribution - you should probably consider using Tycho anyways; admittedly there's a lot of BS that comes with it, but it's the only seemingly straightforward way to build and package an RCP app in a headless manner for continuous integration. Buckminster is supposedly also a solution - but it has less information and support than Tycho - so YMMV.
Anyways back to your problem. Using Tycho with some custom maven magic, I was able to solve this. Essentially I downloaded the JRE from Oracle, and uploaded to our Artifactory so I could reference it using maven coordinates. I unpack that tar.gz package into the OS X distribution directory and place the package under the <your app name>.app/jre. Because of the symlink munging - you have to go and fix that, so remove the existing zero byte libjvm.dylib and relink it using ant exec. Now that you have a good JVM, you need to modify the config.ini to use the right JRE. Unfortunately you can only build this on OS X or Linux - Windows is SOL unless you can find a way to use Cygwin or equivalent. Since I'm doing this outside of Tycho's archiving phase (and theres not apparently way to slip my changes in between), I have to recreate the OS X archive.
Hopefully this helps you solve your problem... I beat my head against the wall trying to fix this for several weeks trying to find a working solution as the error reporting is completely incorrect.
Anyways, good luck!

Vmware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX Released Today
I don't know if this is the correct forum; if it's not, please pardon me.
VMware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX has been released today. This product, while the developers admit has some bugs in it, promises to make virtual computing a whole lot easier and would eliminate for many (not all) the need to use Boot Camp. The link for this new program is http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/
On that page you can find links for support and forums as well.
If you need a free virtual appliance to use with Fusion, then use this link http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/
Currently, there is no charge for using the BETA program. The VMWare folks are asking people to give feedback on their use of the product.
This is what we've been waiting for to purchase our new MAC. I can say without a doubt that from my own experience with Linux boxes, VMWare is the best virtual solution on the market. It's easy to configure and supports a wide variety of hardware and OSs. I can even move the virtual machines I created under Linux to my new MAC when I receive it.
The time has finally dawned for me to retire the last remaining pc towerbox in my home. My wife and I recently expunged one of those machines earlier this week and are eagerly looking forward to getting rid of the other one.
We am really looking forward to purchasing the new Mac Pro. What makes it especially appealing for us is it's scalability and the fact that we can use our current hardware,including our Kensington Track Ball mouse and current monitor with it, although we are taking a serious look at a new Apple Display as well.
Many thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this post. I am looking forward to joining and my wife is looking forward to rejoining the MAC community.You might try the VMWare beta forum:

Hi,
I'm a Japanese user of Thunderbird on my MacBook Pro mid-2010, OSX 10.9.4 Japanese language edition.
After I updated the Thunderbird, very often it only shows a tab named "Home" and no folders appear in the Folder Pane, the left end column of the window, just a big huge blank.
I rebooted my Mac several times and only a couple of times I successfully were able to see and use the folders that I created and read the e-mails inside just like I was able to before updating. All the other times, it fails to show folders, and I can't read any e-mails inside them. Even after I succeeded in showing the folders, when I relaunched the Thunderbird it fails again. I did nothing but relaunching the Thunderbird and rebooting the Mac, no other settings I've done ever since I updated to Ver.31.0.
Under this condition it's virtually impossible to use the Thunderbird.
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only help.I still got another couple of Thunderbird 31 user reports on Mac OSX 10.7.5, and 10.8.5 that are supposed to be compatible with TB31 but are unable to use because of the same symptom as I experienced: No folders shown in the Fonder Pane.
So again, it's not the OS compatibility issue, it's a bug in the TB31.
I sure hope they'll fix this issue ASAP!! -
On Mac OSX 10.4.11 no images are loaded in my application (all of them are in the jar). There seems to be a bug report about it, but it only references a non-public one as duplicate: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/APP-1150
Is there any workaround for this problem?
Thanks!It sounds like a Firmware Password. You need to turn the computer off and unplug it from the wall outlet. Remove both memory modules. Wait about five minutes, then reinstall them. That should remove the Firmware Password.
However, there will also be a user account password you will need for full usage of the computer, but your ex should know that password. If she doesn't then see further:

Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.

Internet is too slow on mac osx
i use boot camp .... internet on windows = blazing fast. internet on mac osx = crap, always losing connection and can't stream videos. I find myself booting into windows 10 times to every one time i boot into osx. seriously. really?? i paid a premium for what? eye candy?
There's nothing specific about Mac OS X that would cause it to be 'slow' when networking. I (and I'm sure lots of others here as well) have many Macs owned over several years which are blazingly fast using the network.
If your network is slow, there's got to be a specific reason. We can probably help you isolate the various causes and find out what is causing it to behave so slowly.
I do not know what level of expertise you have when working with computers or networks so I will try to be specific. If we are to help you, you will need to be specific and accurate when responding. Vague answers from you will only net vague guesses from us. Specific answers from you will likely result in our being able to provide you with specific suggestions and fixes.
If the Mac is fast when running Windows, but slow when running OS X then it's not likely that you actually have a hardware defect (bad network interface, disconnected wifi antenna, etc. as these problems would manifest whether running OS X or Windows on the same hardware.
First, tell us about your Mac and your network. Which Mac model do you have? How much memory does it have? What OS version is it running? If you run "Software Update" is this Mac fully and completely up-to-date with the latest patches?
A long while back there was a known bug in Leopard that would cause a MacBook Pro to be slow if using a wireless network while on battery power (it would be fast if connected to AC power). That was patched long ago. (hence my interest in which OS revision you are running and whether it is fully patched)
What brand & model network router are you using?
What type of network connection are you using on your Mac? Are you using a physical ethernet connection (you plug in a network cable) or are you using wireless? What type of ISP do you have and what is the nature of the connection (cable, DSL, wireless, satellite?)
In "System Preferences" -> "Network", select your active network interface (typically either "Ethernet" or "Airport"), then select the "Advanced..." button in the lower right corner. On the next select the "Ethernet" tab across the top (usually the far-right). Is "Configure:" set to "Automatically"? Is the "MTU:" show a grayed out value that reads "Standard (1500)"? If not, what values do you see?
Next
Start "Network Utility" (it's under "Applications" -> "Utilities"), go to the "Info" tab, select your active network interface (probably ether "Ethernet (en0)" or "Airport (en1)").
What is the "Link Speed" of your connection?
On the right side of the Network Utility "Info" tab are some "Transfer Statistics", including a count of "Send Errors" and "Recv Errors". These are typically very small numbers (usually single-digit values) and do +not necessarily+ mean there is a problem. TCP/IP networking was specifically designed to allow for errors, dropped packets, lost packets, time-outs, etc. and still be able to function without causing problems for the operating system or it's applications (errors are automatically detected and corrected -- usually by retransmitting the troubled packets). These do not necessarily mean there is a problem with your computer... an error, congestion, router problem, etc. anywhere in the network can cause these. With that in mind, what is your total number of sent packets and how many send errors do you have? What is your total number of received packets and how many receive errors do you have? (as an example, my system has over 4 million packets sent and 0 errors, but about 3.3 million packets received and 5 errors -- another mac I checked happens to have 6 send and receive errors. As I said... very small numbers and especially when considering the total number of packets sent or received. If your numbers are large (4 digit values, etc.) then there may be a problem.
Next
I'd like to isolate and test the quality of the connection between your Mac and your router (ignoring the rest of the Internet). If the connection between those two components is solid and healthy, then any slow down would be a problem elsewhere in the network and not, specifically, your Mac.
There is something called "MTU" (maximum transmission unit) that I wont get into just now. A problem with MTU can cause slow delivery of packets on what should be a blazingly fast network in otherwise excellent health, but I'll set that aside for now. 99.9% of the time you should never attempt to alter the MTU.
Go into "System Preferences" -> "Network", select your network interface (either Ethernet or Airport -- whichever you happen to be using) then note the value displayed for "Router:"
Back in "Network Utility", select the "Ping" tab and type in the value displayed for your Router (which you noted above) into the box labeled "Enter the network address to ping." Usually this is a number that looks like "192.168.1.1" or "192.168.0.1" or "10.0.0.1", etc. (almost always ends with a ".1". After entering the number, verify that you have select "Send only [10] pings" (that's the default), then click "Ping" to start the test.
What was the min/average/max/stddev values reported at the end of the ping? On a healthy wired network, the values will typically be less than .5 milliseconds. On a healthy wireless network the values will typically be in the 2-4ms range.
Your answers to these questions will help us rule IN or rule OUT various possible causes. -
Hello. When I was on the internet with previous Firefox, there was Trusteer Rapport (A seurity software for UK banking: http://www.trusteer.com/) icon was still there. However after Firefox gave me an update alart to be 9.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 today and after I followed the update in this early evening, Trusteer Rapport is gone. I have re-installed the latest Trusteer Rapport and re-launched Firefox for several times, however, it is still missing. The Trusteer Rapport is a required security software to log in to the secure banking websites such as RBS, NatWest and HSBC (UK) etc and also it validates web security for Paypal and eBay by the Trusteer Rapport icon on Firefox, therefore I require. How should I do? I have none of other additional add-on/plug-in installed, because previous Firefox has crashed by a conflict of Trusteer Rapport and Nectar Yahoo Toolbar before. If it was a bug, please fix it asap please. Thank you.
Thank you for your sincere help John.
Yes it works again now after; I uninstalled Raport by Rapport utility, cleaned Rapport folders in system, re-installed the latest Rapport, activated at system preference, re-stated computer and then re-launched Firefox 9.0.1!
Thank you again for your help, now it is solved .#) -
How To update Mac OSX 10.3.9 (Dual 1.8ghz)
I recently purchased an iPod Classic but it won't operate from my system (Which is lame!) ... I was considering updating from Panther to Tiger or Leopard (they seem to be the same price) ... I've read many posts about the new Leopard's bugs etc., also I'm about to start doing some pre production (music) from home using Pro-Tools --- And I read on the digi design site that Leopard is not compatible with their system as of yet ...After reading the post I'm leaning towards not getting Leopard until Apple works out the kinks - Now Tiger ... on the iPod Classic box it requires Mac OSX 10.4.8 (which I didn't see until I got home) --- It looks like on the apple site that Tiger runs 10.4.6 -- (***??) If I purchase this can I download a Tiger update 10 10.4.8 or higher ? I'm confused and frustrated ---
If I knew this I would have purchased an iPod Video 5th generation from one of the commercial stores (same size) and it runs on Panther... and it cheaper ...
PLEASE someone let me know what my best option would be ... beside returning the iPOD CLASSIC ...
I appreciate any help...and please excuse my frustration...Hi Jcverses!
Here is some additional info.
Exactly which model Mac is it?
What is the Processor speed?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
Note that the stated System Requirements for any version of OS X, are the bare Minimum.
As roam posted, once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), 10.4.x to 10.4.11 (Pending), and 10.5.x to 10.5.1 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If your Mac meets the Leopard System Requirements. Leopard 10.5.x, can be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

Caveat Emptor!
If any are presently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!
Tiger On eBay
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.11 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
If Leopard 10.5.x is installed, you would use the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update.
Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x and Leopard 10.5.x, ship on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

Fireworks CS4 in Mac OSX 10.5.8 nearly unusable
I am a Digital Media Tutor and have been using Fireworks in our curriculum for the past two years.
CS3 had some bugs and would crash occasionally but generally was a good tool for interactive prototyping.
We use the iMac with 4 GB Ram the latest Updates and Mac OSX 10.5.8
Ever since the CS4 version came out the bugs are so bad and so numerous and random that I couldn't even run through a lecture / walkthrough.
So I have now been forced to remove it from the curriculum altogether.
Its a real shame that Adobe has not been able to fix it.
Here are a few that I encountered in my class in just one hour:
Attempting to highlight a word in text to change its color (crash) over and over had to edit in Illustrator.
Aligning text (disappears) still in layer but gone forever
Copying and pasting graphics from one layer to the next (image appears but is unselectable and has no layer)
Changing a regular layer's order (error saying can't adjust master page layer)
No behaviors showing up in the window on Navbar slices forecd to reboot to edit them.
Degrading performance over time and slow response of UI sometimes up to 30 seconds until eventually crashing (assumed memory leak)
Adobe please put some resources into making this software usable and focus on what you have before jumping to CS5.This is a user-to-user forum. If you want to reach Adobe, you need to contact them directly.

Do you have a problem connecting to Wi-Fi? (iMac Mid 2011 Model)Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3
Did you just start up or restart your mac recently? If you did you might have experineced a problem with your Wi-Fi. I was unable to access anything that required Wi-Fi. So what I did was I restarted my iMac and my Wi-Fi was working again.
What might have caused the problem
A. The Wi-Fi chip did not start or restart (During the process of Starting or Restarting your iMac)
B. It could be a bug in Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 or lower.
I hoped this helped you outIf it was previously working then try a smc and pram reset.
If that doesn't fix it then see if vlc can handle the video. -

Please help with a solution if anyone has faced and solved this problem. Sub question is : If DIVX / anyother plug-in causes problems with QuickTime plugin on Safari, why does it affect only one user on the system and not other users on that system ?
Notes:
1) There is a similar looking thread on MacRumors here but concluded that required to start a seperate one with clear problem statement.
2) Apple Forums
(a) One thread on topic that hints that some 3IVX plug-in can cause issues with Safari Quicktime Plugin: here
(b) Another thread from Apple Forum, that hints that DIVX causes problems to Safari Quicktime Plug in, Link is HereRefer to a thread on Apple Discussions Forum itself, Link is HERE; refer to the posting by "Charles Cole",

Charles writes about DIVX and QuickTime Plugin conflict in Safari:
One thing I've discovered that might help anyone having a Quicktime Plug-in issue. If you have DivX as a codec on your system (usually installed to play .avi files) you'll want to uninstall it so that Sarfari 5.1 will default to the Quicktime Plug-In and not the DivX plug-in. Otherwise, you can't see Quicktime movies in Safari.
Note: this post is about and at the time of OSX Lions launch, i.e. 10.7.0.
Now we have 10.7.2, still cannot believe Apple has not fixed this bug !!!
