Midori browser quirks (lost functionality)
Hello everyone,
I keep Midori as a sort of back-up, lightweight web browser. Lately, I've been more interested in using it but things aren't working correctly anymore. Since I rarely use it, I can't say for sure when it went weird.
To start, the version available in the repositories [currently 0.5.4] has lost the adblock extension and the option to "Open Link in New Tab" when right-clicking a link. Also, the option to "Open Link in New Window" when right-clicking a link doesn't seem to do anything. There may be other quirks that I haven't encountered or that I can't currently recall.
I've tried searching Arch and upstream resources for a solution or even a bug report but I haven't come across anyone else with similar problems.
The only output I get from the command line are warnings (one from midori and one from WebKitWebProcess) that they "Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-xoUZyR00b3: Connection refused"
midori -V yields:
Midori midori_0.5.4_all_ ((null))
GTK+ 3.8.2 (3.8.2) Glib 2.36.3 (2.36.3)
WebKit2GTK+ 2.0.3 (2.0.4) libSoup 2.42.2
cairo 1.12.14 (1.12.14) libnotify 0.7.5
gcr 3.8.2 granite No
single instance libunique 3.0.2
I use XFCE and SLiM. The only thing in my .xinitrc is the case statement to run either startxfce4 or xbmc-standalone.
If I download the version available at midori-browser.org/download/arch/ [currently 0.5.2-1] things seem to work... but I don't use Arch Linux so I can have old packages, lol.
Anyway, I appreciate any clues into solving this problem. I apologize in advance if I've provided too little or too much info or if I've misposted or done anything else frowned upon (and if I have, please let me know). If there is any other info I can provide that might help resolve this weirdness, please let me know.

That did not solve the problem for me. However I used the mozilla-plugin directory instead of /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so for the second command.
Now most of the extensions are displayed three times [EDIT]and the Netscape plugins are still broken.
My about:version looks like this:

Sidebar missing from iCal in Lion - seeking a third party product to restore lost functionality
Apple has removed the sidebar, the always-on list of calendars that required no click.
The shallow popover that appears only when clicked — obscuring part of the calendar before disappearing — is to me (and some others) an unacceptable substitute for working with multiple calendars, especially where calendars are grouped across multiple servers.
I'm aware of third party alternatives to iCal. (Most full-featured calendar interfaces do have an always-on full-height list of calendars. Probably the best known alternative to iCal is BusyCal.)
This topic does not seek alternatives; I do wish to continue using iCal, albeit in a way that is less frustrating than what Apple forces upon users of 10.7.
This topic seeks:
a third party product that will restore lost functionality to iCal.
To any developer who reads this topic: please, I beg you, on my knees, submit your iCal sidebar app — or whatever you wish to call it — to the App Store as soon as you can. I'll gladly pay, and more than gladly help to test any pre-Store development version.
Other readers please note: whilst I'm extraordinarily frustrated by Apple's design decision, this is not an invitation to rant. Let's gain something constructive from this discussion.
If you wish Apple to restore the sidebar to iCal, as an option, then please:
submit iCal feedback to Apple, with your use case; explain why for you personally the limited disappearing popover is a poor substitute; explain how the sidebar will improve both (a) your productivity and (b) your appreciation of Apple's software.
Side note: no category includes iCal, so I file this opening post under Using Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.
Thank you

the new way
Many things in the new iCal are beautifully designed. I am certain that the new iCal will be enjoyed by people who use the new multi-session screen sharing for Mac OS on iOS (that should be a separate topic).
iCal's aqua popover default may be perfect for people who have only a handful of calendars.
Critically
The new design fails completely to offer an always-on full-height list of calendars — invaluable when working with more than a handful of things.
The screenshot below, taken whilst evaluating BusyCal, shows a subset of my list of calendars (more than the average user, that's why an always-on list is so valuable). In shot: three accounts on a CalDAV server. I have other, lesser used accounts on other CalDAV servers. Also some use of Exchange servers. My own case is extreme but there's a guiding principle for a variety of use cases:
some users need to see the list of calendars all the time.
What's exmplified below has become impossible in iCal 5.0 (1535) in Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511).
I plead with Apple, or a third party developer, to restore the sidebar list of calendars to iCal.
Apple's limitation is acceptable when the user has only two calendars —
— but for some other classes of user, completely inappropriate.
The percentage of users troubled by the loss of functionality may be less than the percentage enjoying the popover, but that in itself does not reduce the trouble, the frustration.
The sidebar was present in 10.4, removed in 10.5. Many users of 10.5 complained.
The sidebar reappeared in 10.6. Removal in 10.7 is almost completely dumbfounding.
I would like to say, "give it time — the more you use it, the more it will be appreciated" but for me this is not true. For some weeks I tried to work with this build of iCal and the more I used it, the greater the frustration. I grew to avoid iCal.
In most ways the feature set of iCal is unequalled. Support for many standards is excellent. The removal of the sidebar is a blight on this brilliance.
I plead with Apple or a third party developer to fix this at the earliest opportunity. I want Apple iCal — but user-friendly, not crippled. -

Why all gray in sidebar? Lost functionality!
I've just upgraded (? not convinced I'm seeing an improvement) from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 and am very disappointed to see that everything in the sidebar is shown in shades of gray. I've used FolderBrander for many years to color code my finder folders and it was great that the folder colors also appeared in the sidebar in 10.6.8. I could group associated folders by color in the sidebar and that made for very rapid and accurate access deep into my folder architecture. I am mourning this lost functionality.
Could someone suggest how I could send this dissatisfaction along to Apple along with a request to restore colors to the sidebar?As an update, that 3rd party program called SideEffects didn't continue to enable the colors in the sidebar to appear. What I find most interesting is that the original color designations ARE present, it's just that some additional code eliminates them from appearing. Seems like Apple should easily be able to give the user the option whether to stay with the insipid all gray theme with colored tags or to re-enable the highly functional display of colors in the sidebar in a window and in the sidebar in the "save as" windows. There's no reason that we couldn't have both the "tags" (apparently meant for people who don't use the folder hierarchy when saving files to enable them to rapidly find their files again) and the previous nicely colorful "labels". I see that the gray sidebar has been a complaint ever since OS 10.7 Lion, but that Apple hasn't fixed the issue through several major OS revisions..
I feel I've been punished for being very ordered in where I save files on my HD since I made extensive use of the tools provided by Apple in the past: I could color-group subdirectories on my HD within the sidebar to give me very quick access to different portions of the subdirectories I'd made within my Documents folder. I made less use of labels, but also found them to be superior to tags for how I do use them. I have found tags to be of no value to me, at the expense of the loss of something that was of value. I sure hope that Yosemite corrects this — but I’m beginning to have less faith that Apple is even listening to its customers — except for those who use the iOS and not the Mac OS. -
The computer I wish to use Foxfire on has no internet access as the browser is not functioning. I wondered if I could download Foxfire with a working computer and then plug the flash drive into the computer that is not functioning ?
You can download the ''full'' installer from the following page:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
(Make sure the word "Stub" is not in the suggested file name, because the stub installer needs an internet connection to download additional files.) -
When I try to sing into Google Groups or Google Finance, I get the message "Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on". I have gone through all the troubleshooting information and still cannot get into the function. I downloaded the Maxthon browser to see if I could access Google groups and finace and I was able to sign in. This leads me to suspect there is an issue with FireFox. This problem just started this past Monday. Prior to this there were no issues.
Hello FF7nero, try to delete the '''cookies.sqlite''' file and any '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' files in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder] (in case cookies are corrupted), see how to do that : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-login-issues-on-websites-require-passwords#w_remove-corrupt-cookies-file Remove corrupt cookies file]

Lost Functionality !!! Have both 3.6.13 and 4Beta 9,10,11
Lost Functionality !!!
I installed a number of add-ons before installing Firefox 4 Beta 9 and now I have lost much functionality! I have tried to disable many of the add-ons.I even uninstalled 4 Beta 9 after the beta 10 upgrade was added and went back to 3.6.13 but to no avail.\I am afraid that I am going to have to uninstall the whole mess and start over but I am on a slow dial-up ISP and that is prohibitive because of time concerns. This is one of the main issues : I hover over most but not all links with the cursor and it highlights the link button but when I left click nothing happens and I have tried everything that I can think of so I do not know if it is one of the add-ons or a different problem. I will have to go through my back-ups and see if i have saved a copy of 3.6 somewhere unless someone has an answer to this issueHave you tried creating a new Profile?

Browse for Folder function for PHP?

get when you want
to select a folder in theDreamweaver "Find and replace"
function.

My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).
Crayolla,
Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts for them to work so be a little persistent if they fail the first time.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
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.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
Lost functionality with Leopard...
Lost functionality with Leopard upgrade....
1 - AOL for Mac OS X (10.3.7) application: can't access email addresses when writing mail and can't attach files.
2 - Canon's MP Navigator (2.2.2) won't batch scan documents with MP830. Worked fine with Tiger.
3 - Can't mount USB hard drive attached to my airport extreme and when I try the extreme goes offline and I have to restart it.
How about you all. I only used 'em all the time.I have the same problem.
After upgrade from my Mac Pro to Mac OS X Lion yesterday, the same problem happened described by danhalli.
No connection to the printer over 2101nw. The MAC gets all information if an other computer makes a connection to the print server, so the communication works, however connection cannot be established.
There was no way to fix it. complete new installation from Printer Software or wireless HP Print Server did not help.
Important: all other computer in the network are working fine with the connection manager (MAC and Microsoft PC´s)
All MAC computer are working fine with the SW 10.6.8 . The SW 10.7.2 does not work I hope it will be fixed soon. If you can not print, it takes a lot of time !!!! -
Browser is non functional after receiving phone call while streaming audio
If I browse to a site that streams audio and play that audio, when a call comes in I am able to answer the call and hang up but when I go back to the browser it appears that the Quicktime window that plays the audio is in the background behind some kind of black modal window except for a thin space at the top of the screen. About the same size as the window for an active call if you do other things with your phone while in a call. I can still hit the Done button on the top left hand corner but that is the end of it. I can't use the browser anymore until I reboot the phone(which I find myself doing quite frequently since the iOS4 update...it reminds me of my Windows Mobile 5 phone it replaced).

HP 2600n Not Printing Correctly and Lost Functions
The 2600n has lost the following functions with the HP/Apple update based on my normal use. Note that all of these were functioning prior to update.
1. Double sided printing not selectable; no double sided printing available
2. Cannot print 2 pages on a single sheet in draft; result is a print that is unreadable
In addition to the above the menu for the print has been rearranged in a way that makes it less easy to use. For example there is now an extra step to select draft (600DPI).
+How do I get rid of the download and install of this update and revert back to the old version which worked+ (for me and others it now appears).Thank you to those who replied. I fixed this problem by deleting all the downloaded software and other software related material from the HD. I removed everything. I then proceeded to treat this as a new printer and used the HP site to download relevant software and driver for the 10.5 version. Contrary to popular opinion this printer will work on 10.6 - 10.6.3 using the 10.5 driver and software.
I did note that when setting up the printer in system preferences I had to select the previous version of the driver for HP. The update was still on the HD despite my (I think) thorough removal of all items HP (except scanner).
The printer is now functioning as before. I have complained to HP in two different formats who still say the printer is not supported by 10.6 despite it being clearly listed to the contrary. I also told them the new menu window was terrible. To no avail I'm sure but at least I informed them. As should others if they are having any problems.
Thanks again. -
I receive files from my boss and I need to edit them using my computer. The problem is that I use Numbers, and he uses Excel. Formulas and functions get lost and get miscontrued during the process, so it inevitably leaves me sending back the file with missing or incorrect formulas. Are there any drivers or extensions I can download to help me out with the converting from excel to numbers? I hate sending back unfinished work.
Jerry,
Perhaps I misread the OPs text. I focused on the line:
he problem is that I use Numbers, and he uses Excel.
Which leads me to believe the problem is in importing and export between Excel <--> Numbers NOT between version of Numbers.

Flagging a photo - lost function
I used to be able to click in top right hand corner of a photo and it would flag it. Somehow I have lost this along with the star rating at the bottom left hand corner. Any suggestions as to what I can do to get these back. Thanks
This would be better posted in the Aperture forum.
But that said, you want View->Metadata Display->Viewer->Show Metadata (or Browser->Show Metadata). Try the U and Y hotkeys (and when you can see data, hit shift-U and shift-Y to toggle beteen more and less data). -
Lost functionality in keyboard and mouse in Snow Leopard
Hi,
Since installing Snow Leopard I have lost the following functions:
"enter" key on number pad not working
scrolling horizontal w/mighty mouse not working. scrolling vertical with"nub" is superfast. System Pref's no help
Can't print using "Command" "p" in text edit.
I have tried the Combo 10.6.1 updater again but no luck.
Anyone else having these problems?
20" iMac 2008 Intel, thin alum keyboard.Just a thought: Adding your problem, which is different from the original posters' (he's using an Apple Keyboard and probably had OS issues), to a thread that has been dead for a couple of months is not the best way to get help.
I'd start a new thread that mentions your keyboard brand in the title, and a complete description of how you installed SL and what you have done (as far as permissions repairs, update reinstallations, keyboard vendor support statements) to solve your issue already.
Who knows, others that are using the same keyboard may recognize the problem and may know a solution from the thread title, plus you will have people working on your problem, not the original posters' (he never posted back, so I assume he fixed his problem).
