My update buttons all turn into open buttons

I had this happen on my iPad and it took a software update to fix.
I open the app store (currently with a badge of 24 apps). I go to updates. All of the apps that need updated have an update button next to them, however, those buttons turn into "open" buttons in about half a second. Tapping them simply opens the apps.
I've updated to the latest software and still no luck, it's misbehaving. This is not cool. Any help appreciated.

Hi Dan,
If you are having issues with your App Store update buttons changing to Open buttons, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Menu fonts all turn into boxed capital "A"s

At some point last night, while I was working on my 10.4.9 PowerMac G4, something happened and my menu fonts all turned into some glyph that looks like a capital "A" inside of a box. All of the text on the desktop, menu bar, window titles, and the left side of a finder window have this change. Files displayed within a finder window, however, do not.
Does anyone have any idea of what might have gone broken to cause this, and ideas on what I can do to try to fix it? I'd rather not reinstall if that's an option.
I've run Disk Utility and DiskWarrior to make sure the drive is up to spec, and it checked out.
PowerMac G4 Dual 1Ghz (MDD) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Would it be possible to replace that font from
another 10.4.9 system?
Sure, from any OS X system at all. But I imagine you
still have Lucida Grande (look in
System/Library/Fonts) and I doubt replacing it will
help. Worth a try, but I think the problem is
something messed up in the OS that makes it think the
font is gone.
That, also, appears to be the case. Sigh. Looks like it's reinstall time.
Thanks for the tips, though!

I have an iPhone 4s (jailbroken), then when i updated it, it turned into an ipod. How to fix this?

If the jailbreak was to unlock the iPhone you will need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of your iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked with. Then contact the cell carrier and see what their official unlock process is and if you qualify.

Phone used for nearly a year and recently pics taken by rear camera are all turned into green but front camera worked fine, any clue?

pics took by rear cam all turn to green but front cam normal, please advise?

You can't do anything to get service in your country by Apple, the warranty is only valid in the country where the phone has been bought.
If you can't bring it back to the USA, you'll have to get it checked by an experienced 3rd party repair shop, but this will void the warranty, and Apple will not service the device anymore, even if you want to pay for it.

Rollover buttons are turning into Xs!!!

I created a template in dreamweaver 8, I designed the site in
photoshop and then sliced it in image ready, I did rollover
navigation buttons in image ready, simply giving them glow when you
move over them. I then defined the site in dreamweaver and it
worked fine until in previews in ie until I saved it, it said
"update links? If I click yes, then when I test it in ie it turns
the buttons into red x's every time I move the mouse over them and
they are supposed to rollover. If I click no, all the pictures come
up as those little broken pages. I was saving it as an html. I'm
sure there is a sloution to this, or at least hope so, any help
would be great appreciated.
Thanks.

Are you testing locally or after uploading it to the server?
If the latter,
post a URI, please. I suspect you have not uploaded the
rollover images.

Safari 4.0.3: "un-update" or locate "turn features off" buttons?

Pardon me if I'm a bit confused; this is the first forum I've visited that seems to prefer new threads to posting in related threads. I think.
Short version: I got the "updates available" message a couple weeks ago, and I updated. I now have Safari 4.0.3 and I hate it. I mean I really hate it. This is really disappointing for me, as Safari was the first ever pack-in browser that I really loved.
I have many issues with it, one of which (with the help of a thread here I stumbled across) I have semi-resolved, but am still not completely happy.
So I would like to know if anyone can tell me one of two things:
How to "undo" an update and go from something I loathe as much as Explorer and back to something I adored.
Or
How to "turn off" the following irritants:
the "Top Sites" feature. This is just irritating. I use my computer at home for research. When I have pulled the information I need, I will only rarely ever need to revisit a paper. Though it's nice to know (for example, when researching STDs, that I always had on tap a large number of pictures of dripping groins, available even when the kids are playing games on Nickelodeon (ask me how I know this). Further, my computer at work is a shared computer, used by myself and four salesmen. This feature has resulted essentially in the salesmen all giving away to each other their "secret sources" for various materials. Since they're all on commission, this has resulted in a great deal of conflict there. Gotta love that.
Yes; I am well aware that I can "clear history" when I'm done with the net. The problem is that I don't want to clear the history from my home computer; it's something the kids can't just stumble across, and it is handy while I'm writing a paper, since it contains every site I've visited since the last clear.
The "page through" view for Bookmarks. Since there are no pictures that go with most of my Bookmarks when I'm writing research papers, I find myself scrolling through an endless procession of little black record albums, all with the Safari compass logo. Boy Howdy, now that's way better than a screen-filling list I could take in at a glance, yeah, Man....
I don't know what it's called, but that irritating "second layer" that spends sixty seconds or so generating a preview of something every time I mouse over an attachment thumbnail. 1: I don't always want to look at it. 2: it's faster to simply click it and open it in a new window or tab than it is to wait on this feature 3: opening it in a new tab doesn't completely stop me from browsing the rest of the page.
Actually, at this very moment, the "updates available" icon is bouncing on my dock, and I'm not going to click it until I see some reports of what the update is and what it does and how adversely it has affected folks.

Thanks for the reply, Golden Shoes.
I can't say that 4 is faster than what I had. I had a major speed issue with it, but I found advice about changing the numbers in the DNS servers blanks, etc, and did that. Sort of. I've only got room to enter one number; no way to enter both. But it did help, and the loading speed is almost up to what it was pre-update. While it's still a bit slower, I can live with it where it is now.
As for the Cover Flow advice:
Will that remove cover flow as an option completely? It's not that I don't like Cover Flow; I love it for perusing graphic files, etc. However, for running through my Bookmarks, it's horribly inappropriate.
I really don't want to use the Top Sites feature, however. I strongly dislike it, and am surprised to see that there is no option short of recoding to turn it off. I don't wish to sound like someone trying to make a sarcastic point with this next question, because I am being very serious:
Have a made a big mistake buying a Mac? I do not know how to read, write, or edit code, nor do I feel particularly comfortable that I could learn to do such a thing. Is there commonly a need to work directly with the code when "tuning" a Mac?
Just so you will have some background:
At work, we went to aluminum iMacs because the entire company was so disgusted with Vista that even the Board agreed we'd come out with less expense and lost hours swapping systems entirely as opposed to coping with Vista. I liked the iMac I was using at work so much that I bought one to replace my XP box.
But I am not by any stretch of the imagination more than just a "user." If changing code is the norm (as opposed to Preference or Finder toggles), I may have made a very expensive mistake.
Sorry for the digression; frustration coming out, I suppose. Ha!
If it's not too much trouble, can you clarify the results of pasting in the command you suggested? Will it completely disable the Cover Flow feature, or will it simply turn it off in relation to Bookmarks?
Will it completely disable the Top Sites feature?
And-- embarrassingly enough-- what is Terminal? Where do I find it?
Looking at the updates doesn't help. I "looked" at the last one. It said "Safari 4.0.3." There was nothing there to indicate "makes this and this mandatory and slows browser to a crawl."
This update similarly gives a name and series number, but nothing that would indicate if it's something I do or don't want (like Safari 4.0.3: it seemed like something good, but it's a long list of non-undoable "do not want" 'features.' ).
Is there anything that can be done about the mousing over a thumbnail automatically knocks you out of browsing to open up a representation of the file contents?
Thanks for the time and the advice. I apologize for knowing ... well, absolutely nothing.

Help! My Menus have all turned into "A" boxes

Hope someone can help. I did some software updates yesterday to latest Itunes and Quicktime versions. For some reason the Latest OS X 10.1.8 would not load. So I still have 10.1.7 right now.
Since these updates, my menus (across top of screen) and drop down boxes have lost their text and have been replaced by capital 'A' s in a box.
So even if I wanted to go into my applications I now cannot read menu anymore and right now I am going by memory on where things are.
Anyone had this happen before?

This issue has happened before, and appears to be an issue with Unicode character mapping. Currently, the only available solution is to perform an Archive and Install of Mac OS X followed by running all relevant updaters.

After updateing Firefox all my tabs open object moved so I have to diable plugins and run in safe mode which is a real hassel. What can I do to fix this?

I don't know what else to say other than I have had Firefox for a while and an update came up and so I updated and Firefox has not worked right since then. I open a tab and it comes back Object Move (here) or Object moved temporary or some such crap. I then have to to the Firefox control go to help and and restart with add -on's Disabled I have tried ever other setting listed and nothing changes this problem from happening.

Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

How come the pics I take with my iPhone are all turned into jibberish?

Ever since I upgraded the OS on my iPhone 3GS to version 4, I have a weird problem. When I take a picture and try sending it to someone who's on a PC, it asks me "You can reduce message size by scaling the image to one of the sizes below", which it never did before. I then have to choose between small, medium, large, and original. Whichever size I choose, the person who gets the email get nothing but pages after pages of letters, like "AAIAAAGAAAkgEOSSABAEEgn", and so on. I restored my iPhone and copied everything back from my backup, but to no avail. Still the same problem. And I did a test with a video. Same result. If I send the file to someone with a Mac, no problem. By the way, my iPhone has never been jailbroken. Any idea what's going on?

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

IDCS3 How to convert checkbox into form button in PDF?

I have an InDesign CS3 document that has lots of text checkboxes next to items in a list.
I would like to be able to export this doc as PDF and have those checkboxes turned into form buttons that the reader can toggle on or off to indicate items that the reader owns.
Then the reader could print the PDF and they would have a nice neat record of their items.
At present I don't need to have these PDF forms returned electronically or tallied or anything. The idea is just to use the PDF as a personal inventory.
So I'm hoping there's some easy way to globally replace my text-based checkboxes in IDCS3 with buttons that look the same but which will be recognized properly by Acrobat as interactive objects the state of which can be toggled with a click.
I've tried reading all the help files and searching these forums, but can't figure out how to do this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You cannot do this in InDesign.
However, you can export a PDF file and open it in Acrobat 8 Professional or Acrobat 9 Pro. Then you can use the Form Field Recognition feature (Forms menu) in Acrobat 8 or Start Form Wizard in Acrobat 9 Pro.

When I import my photos into lightroom 4 they all turn to black and white...what is going on?

When importing the photos are color...but when I go to the develop module the all start going to black and white...before my eyes!

sounds like you either got a black and white preset selected in the 'Apply During Import' section of the Import Dialog (over on the right), or you've created a default setting in Develop. For the first, make sure no Develop preset is selected. For the second hold down your Alt key on PC, or Option key on Mac in the Develop Module. The Reset button will turn into 'Set Default...' on the bottom of the right panel. This will open a dialog box. Choose the left button that says 'Restore Adobe Default Settings'.

"OPEN" button in Purchases list does nothing

My machine is a Mac Pro (5,1; 12-core 2.4GHz; 64 GB RAM). My boot drive is a 1TB Crucial M5, holding about 350GB. There are also two 3TB and one 4TB hard drives installed in the machine. I updated to Yosemite (10.10 -- 14A389) from Mountain Lion (10.8.5) a few days ago. Afterwards App Store indicated required updates for Xcode, Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor. I downloaded all of those updates to completion. On its "Updates" tab App Store reports all of them as having been installed in the last 30 days. However, only older incompatible versions of the software reside in my Applications folder. When I sign-in and inspect my Purchases list in App Store, those applications each show an "OPEN" button instead of an "INSTALLED" or "DOWNLOAD" button. Clicking the "OPEN" button installed Xcode. Clicking their corresponding buttons does nothing in the cases of Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor. There are no unfinished downloads according to App Store. Before I updated to Yosemite I had updated Logic Pro X to v10.0.7. That version of the app is installed and will run. However, it is also shown as "OPEN" in my App Store Purchased list. All of this makes very little sense to me. How do I go about actually installing Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor?

Hi,
I've came across this issue before. I had to remove the less than and greater than ("<" and ">") signs from the LOV template. Go to Shared Components --> Templates and edit the PopUp LOV template.

Hi Jnkm,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:

The reapair shop is probably responsible. And now that you took it to a third party and not to apple store, Apple will not touch your phone at all. So you will probaly have to buy a new one or go back to the reapir shop and hope they can fix it.
