My display is corrupted when using the admin account

I have like 16 bit color when I am using my admin account. When I use any other account the display is fine.

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, set the display to use Black & White, turn off all the checkboxes except for the one relating to assistive devices, which doesn't matter, and move the contrast slider all the way to the left.

When I try to install the latest version of Firefox on my Mac (OS 10.5.8) it keeps telling me I have "insufficent priviliges". I am using the Admin account. What do I do?

I downloaded the latest version of Firefox to install on my Mac (OS 10.5.8). When I tried to install it gave me a message saying I had "insufficient privileges". I am using the Admin account. What should I do?

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Display color profile bug when using the fast account switch from a guest account to an admin account (and vice versa)

Hey,
I'm sometimes using a guest account on my MBP (unibody late 2008 2,4 GHz Core2Duo, 4GB DDR3 running OSX 10.9.4 on an OCZ 128GB SSD) for a more distraction-free working space and I noticed right away a disturbing bug:
Using the fast account switch (upper right hand corner of the screen) in Mavericks from an admin account to log into a guest account (or vice versa) produces, after the fancy rotating cube animation, some strange distortion of the desktop background happens (lasting approx. 2 sec.). After that the color profile of the display is changed into an usable but ugly one, which is disturbing while working with pictures. When checking the color profile in the pref pane, the standard "display" profile is said to be active (it's the one I use) but still the colors aren't the same. Selecting another profile and re-selcting the desired one doesn't fix the problem. Switching back to the other account with the fast switching leaves the colors altered. Logging out and deleting the guest account seems to the problem for the remaining admin account. Rebooting and logging in to either of the accounts (admin or guest) from the standard account selecting page at booting shows the normal color profile.
Is it a general bug or is their anything a can do to prevent this problem (other than never using the fast switching)?
Thanks for your advice.

I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

Why does my MacBook Pro Retina screen display pixilated graphics when using the finder?

While this started just after the latest OS X update, each time I use the finder now to locate a graphic to upload, the graphic appears extremely pixelated. It does not matter which application I use to search and upload a graphic file, the graphic appears smaller and bleeds out. I just purchased the new Video Motion Pro video editing software, and every single graphic I upload to this application is pixelated. Has anyone else had any problems with their retina display after the last update?
Here are some examples of hi resolution graphics that now appear pixelated on my Retina screen:

http://www.screencast.com/t/WhG1h5dBh
If anyone is aware of an application or Apple software test that allows me to check my graphic card and retina display, please advise. I have performed multiple disk utility checks, restarts, etc., but nothing seems to help.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Display stays off when using the remote...

I've setup my mac to deactivate the screen after 10mins of inactivity. When the display is automatically switched off, the remote doesn't wake the screen when I press buttons anymore. I can hear all the typical front row sounds when I press the buttons but the screen stays black. The display comes back on as soon as I move the mouse though....
It worked fine before I updated my firmware. :o(

Seem to have found the cause: It only happens after i've used Windows via Bootcamp. After restarting front row a couple of times it works again though.
Hooray!

Errors & warnings when using the Admin Server Console - Help Needed

hi,
i just installed weblogic 12c and created a new domain which contains an adminServer and managedServer under
one cluster.
after finishing the installation, i started the Admin Server and afterwards started the admin server console.
and i got the next warning and errors.
the warning look like this:
<20:00:35 IST 23/03/2012> <Warning> <Munger> <BEA-2156203> <A version attribute
was not found in element "web-app" in the deployment descriptor C:\Oracle\Middle
ware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\_WL_internal\cons
oleapp\jxhze9\console-ext\sipserver-console-ext\WEB-INF\web.xml. A version attri
bute is required, but this version of the WebLogic Server will assume that the l
atest version is used. Future versions of WebLogic Server will reject descriptor
s that do not specify the Java EE version. To eliminate this warning, add an app
ropriate "version=" to element "web-app" in the deployment descriptor.>
the errors look like this:
<20:01:51 IST 23/03/2012> <Error> <netuix> <BEA-423158> <No content found at con
tentUri = /PortalConfig/security/providers/AuthenticatorConfigCommon.portlet.>
what is the problem? anyone knows?

If you want to have an weblogic environment with one domain having server spread across different physical machines , then you will have to perform the installations of the weblogic server separately on all the machines . Also make sure that the version of the Weblogic server you are installing is same across the machines and the directory structure is also exactly same.
In short you will have to perform the below steps :
1 : install the weblogic server on all the machines with exactly same version and same dir structure .
2 : Create domain on MachineA providing all the details of the Managed Server and different machine hostnames.
3 : Start the Admin Server on machineA and then shut down it.
4 : execute the WLST pack command on MachineA creating a domain template JAR file.
5 : copy the create jar file on all the Machines ( B , C , D ) you have to distribute your domain.
6 : Execute the WLST unpack command on all the machines ( B , C , D ) .
7 : Execute the WLST nmEnroll () command on all the machines ( B, C , D ).
8 : Start the Managed Servers on all the machines ( B , C , D )

Error when using super admin account to migrate from Communigate Pro to exchange 2013

Hi everyone,
We are facing issues to migrate mails from communigate pro to exchange 2013 using 'MigrateIMAP.pl' tool. Communigate pro has a super-admin account which can retrieve the mails from any mailbox but when sending to Exchange 2013, there is no such super-admin
account. I have created a user account granting it full access to all databases using the following:
Get-MailboxDatabase -identity “mailbox name” | Add-ADPermission -user <account name> -AccessRights GenericAll
Get-mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -User <account name> -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All
The tool uses the following command: (x.x.x.x is for server IPs & mytestlist contains user accounts to be migrated)
./migrateIMAP.pl -d -I -U -s 100 -L mylog7 -e superadmin:password\<i -S x.x.x.x -f
exchangeadmin:password -D x.x.x.x -i mytestlist
The IMAP4 logs shows the following error:
2014-02-04T13:32:37.699Z,0000000000000579,1,x.x.x.x:143,x.x.x.x:47688,,1,65,34,authenticate,PLAIN cmJhbGxjaGFuZAByYmFsbGNoYW5kAEwwZ09uQDEyMw==,"R=""1 BAD Command Argument Error. 12"""
Anyone, please help me out, i've spent a whole week trying to solve this. Thanks in advance

Help! 'Page not found error' when use the word 'account' on my web page!

I have encountered the weirdest problem when making some changes to my website.
When adding text within the <p></p> tags everything is fine until I type the word 'account' or 'accounts' then I get a 'page not found' error.
Any other text can go between those tags, only the word 'account' causes the problem.
Any ideas?
(I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and its a PHP page)
I am so confused on this one, so any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

http://www.reformationassociates.com/ - This is the website, the weirdest part is, it is only happening on pages after they have been opened through Dreamweaver, so it's only once I access them that the problem occurs, I dont have to make any changes, just open them and they suddenly show up as 'page not found'.
http://www.reformationassociates.com/archive/Pinnacle.php is one of the pages that was accessed yesterday via Dreamweaver and we have had to change the word to 'acct' to stop the 'page not found' error.
Afriad I dont know what SSI files are? sorry....
Thanks.

Firefox 33 doesn't display a pdf file when using the response object

Firefox 33.0.2 does not display pdf files when using the code below from an asp.net program, which works for previous versions of Firefox, and also works with IE. I'm using the built-in pdf viewer. All of my plugins are disabled.
Dim strPDF As String
strPDF = Session("filname") 'pdf filename
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"

Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0")
Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate")
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + strPDF)
Response.WriteFile(strPDF)
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()
Response.Clear()
Response.End()
Session("filname") = ""

Thanks cor-el. You pointed me in the right direction. It appears to me that a reported Firefox 33 bug with the handling of compression (Transfer-Encoding: chunked) is the culprit (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026743). I was able to find a work-around by specifying the file size and buffering. Below is my code, with some code from http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/440054/How-to-Open-any-file-in-new-browser-tab-using-ASP.
Dim strPDF As String
strPDF = Session("filname") 'pdf filename
Dim User As New WebClient()
Dim FileBuffer As [Byte]() = User.DownloadData(strPDF)
If Not (FileBuffer Is Nothing) Then
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.CacheControl = "Private"
Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache")
Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0")
Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate")
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-length", FileBuffer.Length.ToString())

Putting iMac display to sleep, when using TV as a screen.

I have just connected my iMac to my 42" Panasonic 1080p TV, the connection was easy and is working fine. My questions relates to putting the iMac display to sleep when using the TV as a monitor, if I am watching You Tube, Sky Player or a DVD, I intend to use my TV as the monitor. Is it possible for the iMac to puts its display to sleep, whilst leaving the TV on. I played around with this today, however was unable to manage this.
Regards Craig

Hi Craig
There is no way to independently sleep either the iMac's Display or an attached Display/TV. However if in the Display Arrangement Preferences you set the attached Display or TV to be the Main Display and turn Mirroring Off, then FrontRow and the Full Screen Mode app's like, DVD player, QuickTimePlayer, etc. will black out the unused iMac display.

Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate...

Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate... (the same happens with the other iWork-Apps!)
Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…". This will bring up a dialog:
2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
3) find the files:
com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
and move these to the trash. I would NOT empty until later.
4) restart Numbers

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.

Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection. The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor. Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box? It is driving me bonkers.

Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"

My display is corrupted when using the admin account
