Menu Painting , is there a solution?

As Java programmers , we all have come across problems due to incomplete painting of menus , with those ugly white squares appearing when you move across the menu to other menuitems. I have seen this pretty much on any Java GUI including IBM Xeena ( XML editor) , Netbeans and even the demos that Sun ships alongs with the JDK. Infact it is not limited just to menus , but almost any other Swing GUI component. However I recently saw a program called Limewire (http://www.limewire.com ) , also written in Java, which perfect menu rendering and painting . It made me wonder if there is a solution to this , as this incomplete rendering makes the GUI appear very slow.
There after , I set off on a quest to find a solution and have spent quite some time trying to find something that works , reading a large number of articles on the Swing Connecion , a number of other Java sites and also this forum. However , I have still not found an answer.
My Question thus is to ask if any of you know a solution to this problem.

I think JDC bug #4470374 covers this topic. Unfortunately, there is no workaround listed.
Limewire might be writted with AWT windows, which would use native menus and not suffer this calamity.

I am unable to merge events running iPhoto '11 - 9.4.2 (710.42) and Mountain Lion, 10.8.2. All options on the events down menu are greyed out and I am therefore unable to merge any events. Is there a solution?

I am unable to merge events as all drop downs in the events selection in the tool bar are greyed out. Is there a solution?

Thank you.
I tried to drag one event into another event but was unable to do so. The event that I tried to move into a second one would only move to another position in the event columnn, but it would not merge into another one.

Open and Save dialogs are painfully slow. Is there a solution?

Open and Save dialogs are painfully slow. Is there a solution?

I pulled this part out of one of the topics Barney-15E linked to. It absolutely works! The glacially slow Finder response has been driving me batty in Mavericks. Each time I restarted, it would take forever to list the startup drive when I opened it. Open and Save dialogues were also painfully slow to respond. Now they all snap open and list instantly. I used TextWrangler to comment out the line in the file auto_master, then ran the automount command in Terminal.
Working workaround:
Use the following statements in Terminal.
sudo vi /etc/auto_master
In this file comment out /net with # (#/net .....)
sudo automount -vc
Fixed.
Confirmed here too both for Preview.app Open file sluggishness and Finder window population. Thanks Snaggletooh_DE!
Couple of notes:
(1) Some folks may be more comfortable using a GUI editor like TextWrangler instead of vi
     a) in the Finder use the GO menu and select Go to Folder
     b) type '/etc' ( without single quotes ) in the Go to folder dialog box and press the Go button
     c) Right ( Control ) click the auto_master file in the resulting Finder window. Select "Open with...." and use TextWrangler ( your choice )
     d) Comment out the line by inserting a '#' ( pound sign ) as noted in Snaggletooth_DE's instructions
     e) Save the file ( probably need to authenticate with your admin password )
     f) Do the 'sudo automount -vc' per Snaggletooth_DE's instructions. Will need to authenticate again.
(2) Notice Snaggletooth_DE described this as a "workaround" because it bypasses an Apple bug. Presumably most people have not changed their auto_master file and it worked fine in Mountain Lion and prior. In other words: If you haven't done so already, please continue to submit feedback and bug reports to Apple for this issue.
Kudos to Snaggletooth_DE for figuring out code is trying to look at network ( NFS ) volumes that maybe don't exist.

Ok ...
Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is
Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Mail Format tab.
3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

Hey Christian,
I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
All the best,
David

My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync. But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?

I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud. However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud. The company has no plans to update anytime soon. Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes. The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?

I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

HT1751 I am trying to backup my iTunes library onto an external hard drive but it won't complete due to 'insufficient privileges for some of the items'. Am I doing something wrong and is there a solution to this problem?

Hi All,
I am currently trying to backup my iTunes library onto an external hard drive so that I can copy it onto my new Macbook Pro. I have been following the steps posted on the Apple website however each time I get a dialogue box stating:
'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items'.
Is this because I have items that were bought under another persons iTunes account? If so, is there a solution to this problem? Or am I doing something completely wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Sbrooks19

Is there a solution yet to the corrupt metadata in pictures? Wich is causing to not be able to rotate pictures

I read there is a solutions to open and save every single picture. I hope this is not the solution.

Yes it is exactly the thing that a standard windows functionality or the windows photo viewer doesnt "recognises" the metadata. In my opionen is metadata a standard wich shouldn`t matter on wich operation system you are working on. Some parts are implemented in systems, other not. Like the same thing with MP3`s.
If I strip the metadat with 3rd Party software like you said Paulcb, will other data also be lost like the locations and time stamps who are on the metadata of the pictures, or is there a solution to the problem you are aware of KiltedTim that repairs the metadata so every system can read out the metadata.
It`s also strange that only the 4S has this issue what I read on the net.
