My homepage doesn't always display properly

Occasionally when I have two windows open and I close one then open a 3rd new window the 3rd window will display the last site I visited rather than the homepage. This does not happen every time I have two windows open but only with certain websites.

Hi, are you saying sometimes it does come up, & you have that set as your Homepage?
Can you share the link to your home page?

Pages not always displaying properly

Hi. For some reason certain websites I use often as well as various others aren't always displayed properly (e.g. they often have the menu at the top/side and no main content). Sometimes refreshing the page a number of times or hitting back helps and other times I end up going off the site and going back to it later where there's about a 50/50 chance it will load fully.
I thought maybe it's because my Firefox browser needed updating, but after updating it I still have the same problem.
I cleared my browsing history/cookies/cache and it did nothing. Then I noticed under Options-Advanced-Network it mentioned the cache for offline storage, which I noticed was at 1GB (it seems to go up very quickly). I cleared it and the sites all loaded first time until I closed the browser window and re-opened it. Now no matter how many times I clear the cache, cookies or anything else it still refuses to display the pages properly.
On top of that I'm suddenly getting pop-ups for various sites (usually with a table of ebay or amazon items). They often appear when I click to type in a box on a site (e.g. in a search engine), but it happens randomly on any site and the window it opens always has a different address even if it is displaying a similar page. This too started when I still had the older version and is still continuing with the latest version. I have block-ups blocked.
A few weeks ago everything was fine and I haven't added any extra add-ons or done anything different in that time (as in surfing the web, editing browser settings or downloading new programs, or even editing existing ones). However, today I did update existing add-ons just to see if this was the problem. This has all started in the last week or so.
Any ideas as to what is causing these problems and how I can solve them?
Thanks

Thanks. Them links just suggest to do what I've already done though. I've cleared the cookies and cache and history. I've disabled extensions, themes and plugins to see if that affects it. I completely uninstalled FireFox and everything to do with it. I've done full system scans for viruses, malware and spyware and found nothing and I've even used CCleaner to make sure it wasn't a file affecting it that shouldn't be there. I've then re-installed firefox and I still have the same problem.
I also noticed that when trying to load a page I get a small message in a box on the left hand side at the bottom of the browser that says "Read static.ak.fbcdn.net", but I've only noticed it on one site, not others that don't load properly.

IMac keyboard doesn't always work properly and Magic Mouse battery drain

Owned my iMac for a few months now. First off, my batterys only lasted 23 days, not 3 months like stated by Apple. I've use both Duracell and Energizer and both last less than a month. Secondly, my wireless keyboard doesn't always function properly. When I'm trying to type something out, I always end up having to go back and add something that the keyboard has missed..
For example, I just tested my Cap Locks key. I pressed it 10 times normally as you would when typing and the green LED only lit for 3 of the 10.
But when I press hard it works everytime
Is this a common problem or have I been sent out a defective pack?
Thanks

It's a long shot, but is a non-standard input selected here:
 > System Preferences > Language & Text
Try selecting 'British' and see if the problem persists. Also, if you click on the little nationality flag in the menubar at the top of the screen and choose 'Show Keyboard Viewer', what happens when you press the '3' key? Does it light up as expected?

If iCal doesn't launch/display properly

Some general things to check for and do when iCal won't launch or doesn't display calendars/events/todos properly in Tiger. Try these things in order and make sure you understand each step fully before you start it :
0.
Backup your iCal data.
If you can, open iCal and go to the File menu and choose Back up Database... to save a copy of your calendar data to your Desktop, just in case something goes wrong.
(You should be doing this regularly anyway
1.
Is the problem with the Application or your user's data?
Make a new user account on your computer, and log in as that user. Open iCal as the new user. If you are still having the same problems it is likely that the problem is with the application and you should re-install it, if not the problem is with the data and you should move on to step 2.
To re-install iCal you will need your Tiger installer disk. On the installer disk go to System> Installation> Packages> (you'll need to scroll down to see the System folder). In here there is iCal.pkg, double click this to install iCal.
If this fixes your problem there is no need to do the following.
2.
Refresh your preference files.
There are some preference files related to iCal in your user's Library > Preferences. These are called:
com.apple.iCal.alarmsCache.plist
com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.plist
Quit iCal and move these files to your desktop. When you start iCal they will be re-created in the Preferences folder with the default values as needed. This does not affect your calendar data, just preference choices.
You should go into iCal preferences and make any changes you want to your preferences after doing this.
If this solves your problem delete the copies on your Desktop, there is no need to do the following.
3.
a: If iCal launches and you can see the calendar list:
Check the calendars in turn.
In iCal uncheck all the calendars in the list. You can do this by Command-Clicking one calendar's check box.
Then do the following with each calendar in turn: Check the calendar's check box and see if your problems still exist. If iCal seems to be ok, then uncheck the check box and select the next calendar. If the symptoms still exist then this calendar is probably corrupted.
If you find a corrupted calendar in iCal, select it in the calendar list and from the File menu choose Export.. and export a copy of the calendar to your Desktop. Still in iCal, from the Edit menu choose Delete to remove the calendar from iCal. Then from the File menu choose Import... and select the 'Import an iCal file', find the calendar file you saved to your Desktop and import it.
Go to step 4.
b: If iCal does not launch or you can't see the calendar list, it's a bit more involved:
Using the Finder to remove the data and replace it in turn.
Make sure iCal is not running, then go to your user's Library > Application Support > iCal> Sources folder, and copy this entire folder to your Desktop.
Go back to your user Library > Application Support> iCal> Sources. In this folder there will be one folder for each of your iCal calendars. These have long alpha-numeric names. Open these folders in turn and delete the file corestorage.ics in each one.
Open iCal. It should launch now, but there will be no events/todos and each calendar will have an exclamation mark by it.
Close iCal and repeat the following for each folder in iCal's Sources folder: (I found this easiest to do if you open both Sources folders next to each other in Finder's List View) From the copy you made to the Desktop, move the corestorage.ics file back into the correct folder in your Library> Application Support> iCal> Sources, and open iCal. If iCal is launching and functioning ok then the data in this calendar is good and you can move on to the next calendar.
If the symptoms you originally had have returned, then this calendar is corrupted.
With the corrupted calendar, move the relevant corestorage.ics file back to the correct sub-folder on your Desktop> Sources folder. In this folder will be a file called Info.plist. Open this file in a text editor, and look for the line that contains <key>Title</key>. The following line contains the title of the affected calendar between string tags (e.g. <string>Home</string>). Open iCal and with the calendar of this name, click the red exclamation mark and choose 'Reset' from the resulting dialog. Quit and re-open iCal. In iCal, make sure the same calendar is selected in the calendar list and drag the corestorage.ics file onto iCal's main window. (I got warning dialogs about unsafe alarms - I went with keeping the alarms.) This should clean up your calendar's data.
4.
Reset sync history.
If you have sync-ed your calendar data (either with .Mac iSync or third party apps.) there may be a corruption in the data stored by Sync Services which will be passed back into iCal when it syncs next.
Open iSync and from it's preferences select 'Reset Sync History' and in the confirmation dialog choose 'Reset Sync History' again.
I hope this will be of help to anyone having these types of problems. This (obviously) is not intended to be complete solution for every problem you'll come accross in iCal.
Please, feel free to post and correct my errors.
Thanks
John M

Hi Nancy,
> When I go into LIbrary>Application Support> there is now no ical.
Hmm, looks like you are having some problems there. (You are looking in the Library in your Home folder aren't you?) Were able to make a backup .icbu file as I suggested in point 0 above? If so you might want to open iCal and select File> Revert to Database Backup... and revert to the data you had before doing this, and start over again.
Otherwise, do a Spotlight search for 'iCal' and look at all the folders returned titled iCal. The most likely explanation is that you have inadvertently moved the iCal folder from your user's Library> Application Support to somewhere else on your harddrive. If this is so move it back.
Where exactly were you in the process? You say step 4, that is about re-setting iSync.
You say you moved the 'corestorage.ics' file to the Trash (and then emptied the Trash). Are there still corestorage.ics files in every folder in Sources on your Desktop?
> I still have the sources file on my desktop.
Keep it there. You might want to re-name it 'Sources Old'.
> when I click on the desktop sources folder and try and go into plist it is coming up as an itunes doc and attemptint to open with itunes
You seem to have plists associated with iTunes for some reason. To see the file's contents Control-Click one of the plist files and choose 'Open with' from the contexual menu and open it with TextEdit.
Please let me know how you get on.
Best wishes

Help/contents doesn't always display when using Vista

Hi,
On a fresh startup of Lookout 6.1 on Vista, the help/contents always starts as expected. At a later time and for some unknown reason, the help/contents may not display. Is this a know problem and what is the solution?
Regards,
Joe C.

It's an unknown issue. Are you using Vista SP1?
You can find lookout.chm in lookout folder. Try to directly open this file.

Preview doesn't always display .pdf files correctly....

Some .pdfs I open come up with some logos or pictures and the background colours - however the writing is all coloured blocks, and completely useless. Why does this happen?

There are numerous reports of this on this (and other) boards. I did some sleuthing when we had this issue occur as part of a work project. Looks like something is broken with font-linking, which is apparently a relatively newer "feature" of the PDF format. The way we have fixed it (we hope), is to have things save in the PDF/A format, which is an archival subformat of PDF that doesn't use icky things that cause this problem. Looks the same as PDF and opens seamlessly. On Windows MS Word 2007, you use PDF/A by doing "Save As", selecting PDF, then clicking "Options". The last check box mentions "ISO something-or-another PDF/A". Check that, and they seem to work.
Of course, this helps if you or your organization are the creators of the PDFs in question. If you're an end-user and they aren't willing/able to address the issue, your workaround would be to use Adobe Reader to open it. Slower and annoying, but at least you can read it.
Hope this helps...

Ical on Intel Mac doesn't always display my schedule

Happily and carefully migrating from my old 12" powerbook to new Core Duo 15". Manually migrating since I found the first shot of migration was a complete mess. Everything super. Applications in, documents over, happy clam day.
Okay, I synched with my Palm to upload my calendars to this machine from my old machine. Fine and dandy. But when I opened iCal nothing had made it and there were no calendars. Yet click on monthly view AND ALL MY APPOINMENTS APPEARED BUT I COULDN'T SEE MY CALENDARS.
So, cleaned out the ical library (deleted ical folder entirely) and lo - thar she blows, all my events and calendars miraculously appeared... A little wierd since I had planned to upload it again from my Palm. Now I am happy and set up groups clean up my colours, close iCal.
Open her up again AND THE SAME BLEEEPity thing happens.
Anyone ever seen this before?

Have you tried deleting the SSID in the Preferred Networks section and then reentering it?

Mousing over some UI elements doesn't always display the correct pointer

When I mouse over some elements in a UI, sometimes the mouse cursor isn't correct. For example, when typing this message, if I open up 'Launchpad' by using the gesture, my mouse cursor stays as the text cursor, not the mouse pointer arrow, as I would expect.
This is only one example.. i've noticed it happens in many other instances.

My problem seems to be solved. My Norton Internet Protection software notified me that the Photoshop Auto Analyzer was using a lot of CPU and memory. I shut off all Media Analysis in PSE-11, and I have not had any of the problems I mentioned in my posted question.
I am surprised that my PC chokes up and causes errors when Media Analysis is on. Has anyone seen this before?

I redownloaded my Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw will not accept my RAW files nor will the Adobe Bridge display the picture view of these files. A message displays saying it doesn't support this camera. I have a Nikon 5100 DSLR Camera. It always displayed them in the past. How can I get it to display these photos in Bridge and open them in RAW?

CSS - main content h1 and p text doesn't display properly

Hi all,
I know this is something really simple, but I just can't seem to get it right. The h1 and the p text in the main content should have left and right padding to display properly (i.e. space on either side so it's not squished against the Accordion Spry), but it doesn't work. It shows correctly in DW, but not online. I'm just learning CSS so sorry for the ignorance! I've tried everything I know and can't seem to get it right. I would appreciate ANY help at all.
http://www.TailgatorsHockey.com/news.html
Attached is the .css file...
Thanks so much!

The padding and margin are certainly showing in the browser for the h1 tag but you have no padding or margin declared in your css styles for the paragraph tag in the 'main-content' <div>
Add ths to your css styles:
#main-content p {
padding: 0 25px 0 25px; /*top/right/bottom/left*/
margin-left: 10px;

MacBook Pro display doesn't close down properly.

We have one MacBook Pro that doesn't close down properly. The display just bounces up. Is there any way to fix this or is this something that needs to be fixed by a technician?

Try blowing out the slots where the two "prongs" come up, and the release button slot (push it in and out a bit while doing this) with compressed air. (use your lungs if you don't have a can of air).
Often a bit of crumb or other gunk will impede the mechanism enough to prevent the magnets from being able to do their job properly.
Cheers
