MBA Update 1.0 - Buttons and text on the Welcome screen are not localized

Hi all!
I use Mac OS X 10.5.4 with French (Canada) localization on my MacBook Air, and it appears that after applying the 1.0 Update released on 2008.08.23 (which is said to resolve processor issues), the text on the Welcome screen now appears in English.
This must be related to this new update, since I did only text editing this morning and everything was OK when I started the computer for the first time.
Is it possible that the updated corrupted and/or removed the localization files, and is there a way to restore this? I hope it does not affect text elsewhere in the UI.
Note: I just done a PRAM reset and it does not solve the problem. Should I perform a SMC reset?
Thanks for your help,
Kind regards,
Yannick

After a bit of search, I found a solution to my problem. It seems that the MacBook Air Update 1.0 indeed broke the Login window language on my system (I don't know how, but it did). This issue can be solved by using "TinkerToolSystem" from Bresink in Demo mode. This little app can restore the language upon login.
Please note that the "Enabling the root account & and change root language" did not work, for me at least. This method may not be possible anymore on Mac OS X Leopard (the tip mentions Mac OS X 10.3).
My Login Window is now back to normal
Thanks,
Yannick

    Ever since I updated InDesign CC (2014) approximately 22 days ago... I CANNOT get the welcome screen to not come on at the launch on InDesign. I set the preferences in InDesign to NOT show the welcome screen upon launch, but it will NOT hold the preferences i choose. Anyone else have any other ideas? I am about to lose my mind... I hate you ADOBE!!!

    that s just the problem, that is why my level of frustration is boiling over ... I have told InDesign over and over again "Do Not Show Again" but it will just not hold the settings. It might hold it for a day or so, but then suddenly there it is again on another launch. Very very annoying.

    They don't go into the Trash. Unless you have a backup prior to the deletion time it's gone.

  • Cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

    cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

    just checked everything through and this is deffinately the public beta of iCloud as it simlily doesnt come up in the  settings of ipad or iphone. However the current firmware i am using isnt an itunes download, as i have downgraded and all itunes synced apps onto both the iPad and iphone crash when i open them, is this because i have downloaded the firmware from a third party? i have treble checked that the firmware is NOT hacked and is just a host's official apple firmware, so i cannot understand why this problem is occuring?

  • When I pressed the power button it hangs on the welcome screen and what wrong with the system

    When power on the MacPro it hangs on the welcome screen. What should I do to overcome this issue

    I would recomend reseting the PRAM. A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.  Hope this helps!

  • GR and GI for the Subcontracting PO are not aligned

    Hello,
    We face an issue were the posting dates of the
    GR(101 mvt) and GI(543mvt) for the Subcontracting PO are not aligned (GR takes
    the posting date as the next day and GI as the current date).
    We did an initial analysis and found that it is
    the user time zone that leads to the different posting date. The user who does
    the GR has a time zone setting of UTC+8 maintained in her user profile.
    Whenever the user does a GR for the Process Order after 18:00CET, system
    proposes the posting date for GR asthe next day. But GI picks the current date.
    As per subcontracting scenario, the GI(goods issue from subcontracting stock)
    happens whenever we do the GR. We understand that time zone has an effect on GR
    posting date but the question is why GI posting date is not affected? Is it a
    standard SAP behaviour?
    Procedure -
    We create the Process order via COR1 transaction,
    In the master recipe we have maintained the control key for the subcontracting
    operation.
    Purchase Requisition will be created from the
    Process Order. This PR is converted to Subcontracting PO via ME21N. The
    delivery and PGI is done
    via ME2O transaction. We have a custom transaction
    to do the GR similar to MIGO transaction.

    Hi Manikumar,
    Empty the Personal time zone for the specific user & test the same. As by default, system time is maintained in UTC time zone.
    Thanks,
    Nihar

    Because of low battery my iphone 5 got switched off and than its not starting by pressing the power button or by keeping it on charge. While charging a white screen comes for 2 second and goes away. This process continues till the phone is on charge. Please suggest how can I start my phone.

    Hello Ritugor,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    Hi
    You could order the Full Retail Version of OS X (Black DVD with a silver X on it). Regarding always starting up in Open Firmware, in this thread a bloke had the same problem until he disconnected his peripherals before restarting. See if the entire thread helps:

    I subscribed to your feed and was unable to download episodes - I tried several including the latest. The error message was that the download was interrupted.
    I was able to download the latest episode in a browser, and to play it in Safari. Evidently your server is reacting badly to requests from the iTunes application; I have no idea why this should be the case and can only refer you to the people running your server.

    Hello kennyred,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem.  Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely.  Push until they click in place.  It solved the problem.  The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep.  Hope this helps.

    Hi Paul ,
    It could be a compatibility issue as well as Acrobat 8 is an older version.
    Do you get any error message while registering for the product?
    Try repairing it and once and also check for updates as well.
    Is it happening with all the word files or any specific one'?

  • How can I separate the "Icons and Text" of the browser control buttons (Back, Forward, etc.) from the Icons on the Add-on toolbar?

    At home, this is not an issue. I don't know why it's different here at work--same installation, same settings (as far as I can tell).
    Windows Vista
    Firefox 7.0.1
    Status-4-Evar installed to turn add-on bar into a status bar
    I have a NoScript add-on icon in the corner, which works fine. If I add a GreaseMonkey icon from the Customize menu, the "Icon and Text" appears for that icon, like the Icon and Text from the browser controls (Home, stop, etc). Other add-on icons also show Icon and Text (S4E, for instance). NoScript is the only one I've found so far which collapses down to just an Icon.
    This leads to the status (add-on) bar having a much larger height than I like. Essentially what I want is for only the Icon to appear in the Status bar (Add-on toolbar), while keeping Icons and Text in the Browser controls. My current workaround is simply removing the other add-on icons from the status (add-on) toolbar, but that takes away the ease of toggling and setting options.
    Please tell me if I can provide you with anything else, and thanks for your help.
    Edit: I've got some screenshots to show what I mean.
    [http://i41.tinypic.com/ftek9s.jpg desired behavior]
    [http://i43.tinypic.com/1z6a4h3.jpg problem when icon is added]

    Surely there must be some UserChrome.css that will solve this problem. Something like this:
    /* Remove text titles for icons in add-on bar */
    addonbar .button-text {
    visibility: collapse !important;
    Unfortunately that does not work. I probably have the button text item name wrong (there is a pound sign before addonbar but it doesn't show in this posting).
