Noticing a plain grey 'block' where keyboard should be after sms message or whatsapp message is sent

Hi,
I thought to raise this cause i'm going mad. Since upgrading to ios8- after i send a sms message, leave the app then go to somewhere else. When i go back to the message app (say to reply), i notice where the keyboard should be there is a grey plain block covering this. It shows for about 3 seconds then dissappears and reveals the keyboard. This also happens when sending whatsapp messages?
Can this be resolved?

Text only message (no — photo, voice message or contact info)
Settings --> Messages --> MMS Messaging -->
ON:
Start a new message, send to multiple recipients, message is sent as MMS (note top of message window will say 'New Group MMS').
OFF:
Start a new message, send to multiple recipients, message is sent as SMS (note top of message window will say 'New Message').
aapplee, have you tried starting a new message after turning off MMS, or are you using an existing message? Don't know if this makes a difference.

Pages and Numbers will not take dictation in iOS 8 on my iPad 4 and iPad mini.
Very frustrating -screen goes blank where keyboard should be when I touch the microphone- no keypad & dictation does not record. I have to close the document In order to get rid of the big blank space where the keyboard should be. When is this going to be fixed?it's making recordkeeping Pages and Numbers, which I use heavily, almost impossible.
also dictation in other locations such as Mail put capitals in the middle of sentences and sometimes don't capitalize first letter in a sentence (see first letter of this sentence!) and other instances like the months of the year or the days of the week. Is anyone else having these problems?

Exporting video from Photoshop CS6 leaves background grey where it should be white.

On export of an animation from Photoshop, the rendered video has a grey background where it should be white. We have tried multiple settings and documents and nothing we've tried works?
Does anyone know what might cause this. Using CS6.
Thanks.

There is no app.
It is the camera. Just take video with the camera.

Since yesterday, clicking to read my email gets a blank window, not the email. Same w/ windows where data should be entered (like with online banking). Help!

Since yesterday, when I click to read my email I get a blank window instead of the usual window with the email itself. The same is happening with windows where data should be entered, like those virtual keyboards for online banking login, or windows where you can add records (like daily electricity and gas consumption). In all these situations, a window should pop-up and pop-up it does - but always blank.
I already unistalled/reinstalled Firefox and reset it "to its default state".

How to block the keyboard

We are developing an application that should block the keyboard for all applications running under windows. (A time limited web browser)
I know more or less how to do it on my Java Window but I need to block all the machine.
Thanks in advance.

You'll have to get into Windows system programming for that. Java is not a suitable language for that kind of project, but you can interface to suitable languages from Java using JNI.

I need block a particular site, just like in IE when i goto Privacy option I can specify and site & say Block - where can i find thi s in firefox?

I need block a particular site, just like in IE when i goto Privacy option I can specify and site & say Block - where can i find thi s in firefox?
I've been getting some junk websites while I am working. I need to block them completely.
Please advise. Thanks,

There is no equivalent in Firefox. You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145/ BlockSite] extension to add a similar feature.
If the junk sites are coming up whilst you are browsing, this may be caused by malware. You should consider scanning your computer with some malware programs. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

Green noise is being displayed where black should be being displayed

OK, I am really worried that my Macbook Pro is screwed up bad. I've been playing World of Warcraft fine for weeks. Been watching my temps, been a little high but not anything dangerous. However I've recently been noticing that when I play WoW for over 2 hrs or so and exit, my screen glitches and what can best be described as green static is displayed where black should be. Now I've tried reseting the NVRAM and leaving it alone for a few hrs and it went away. Now it popped up again, did the same thing that fixed it before, but now it won't go away. Did my Mac overheat and now the graphics are messed up?

Are you still under warranty? If so, it would be prudent to report this to Apple and possibly get a case number. It sounds like there could be a hardware problem with the graphics chip, even if nothing showed up on the AHT. Did you run the AHT at a time that you were getting the green noise?
Have you tried an external display? If you get the some problem on it, that would indicate a graphics chip problem. If you don't, there could be some sort of problem with your built in display.
Good luck!

Black/Grey blocks appear on Desktop

Hi, I am currently experiencing an issue where black or grey blocks appear on my desktop usually in small groups of 4 in a vertical line. Sometimes I can see writing behind them but not enough to make it out. When I wave the mouse over them they disappear. At first I thought it could be a virus but I have run every piece of software I have and they have all come back clean. I must stress this doesnt happen all the time, but sometimes when I minimise or close applications they are there, when they next appear I will try to somehow post a picture. It's not affected performance in any other way, but I am concerned about doing anything like banking incase its a virus that is buried deep in the system somewhere.

As it is a bit unpredictable I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in the BIOS yet. It is a bit erratic as to when the problem occurs. I have however been able to take some pictures so you can see the problem. I don't have an external monitor available at the moment so I cannot test your second suggestion. I will update more when I have attempted your two suggested steps

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 3 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

IP FILTER blocks USB keyboard

Hi,
for the second time, in a different machine, i observe IP FILTER blocking
the keyboard. I have a Solaris 9 on a SunBlade 100 with USB keyboard
and IPFILTER 4.1.22 with pfil 2.1.12. I load the IPF rules and keep on
working normally. On the next day the machine has a normal network
behaviour and the mouse answers, but the USB keyboard is blocked and
i have to reboot to bring to normal behaviour, despite the same IPF rules
are loaded at boot time. Thus it happens with time (???)
The IPF rules are listed below. Should make a rule for the keyboard?
pass out quick on eri0 proto tcp from any to $dns port = domain flags S/FSRPAU keep state
pass out quick on eri0 proto udp from any to $dns port = domain keep state
pass out quick on eri0 proto tcp from $myip to any port = 80 flags S/FSRPAU keep state
pass out quick on eri0 proto tcp from $myip to any port = 443 flags S/FSRPAU keep state
pass out quick on lo0 all
pass out quick on hme0 all
pass out quick on eri0 proto tcp from any to any port = time flags S/FSRPAU keep state
pass out quick on eri0 proto tcp from any to any port = ftp flags S/FSRPAU keep state
block out log first quick on eri0 all
pass in quick on lo0 all
pass in quick on hme0 all
pass in quick on eri0 proto tcp from any to $myip port = ssh flags S/FSRPAU keep state
pass in quick on eri0 proto icmp from $friend to $myip icmp-type echo keep state
block in log first quick on eri0 all
null

wow, i did not find any lock for this block. But it just happens with IP filter
on, even with pass all rules, when i leave the computer a few hours alone.
I already tested, and if i `ipf -D` (disable) it does not happen.
It is also the second machine (different hardware runing solaris 9) in which
if observe it. I am sure IPF does that, but there is no mesg log.
I'll try harder with ipf logs ...

Report where stock should be calculated after every movement

Hello
I need to create a report where stock should be calculated after every movement (after every document)
initial stock is 500
                quantity     on going stock
Doc 1         +100               600                          = 500 + 100
Doc 2         - 200               400                          = 500 + 100 - 200
The non cumulative KF doesnt help in this case. What would you recommend to use?

create an DSO having time stamp as part of key and two key figures outgoing and incoming. This should provide you all the movement history.
Hope it helps

ITunes can't locate some files that are right where they should be

I'm using iTunes 12 for Windows. I keep a huge iTunes library at home on a mapped NAS share and the same library at work on a local drive. Every week on Monday I sync my entire iTunes folder from home to an external drive and then bring that external drive to work and sync it to my local drive there. (Note: This is a one way sync; I never sync in the other direction.) This system has worked flawlessly for six years.
Within the last six weeks, I've started to get error messages on my work system saying that many (>1600) media files of various types cannot be located. I assumed corruption was the issue so I deleted my entire 500GB iTunes folder and re-copied everything back over. Not just the media files. Everything. The problem persists and I cannot figure out why.
I have confirmed that iTunes on the work computer is referencing the correct iTunes library file. I have confirmed that iTunes is pointing to the correct iTunes folder. I have confirmed that the "missing" iTunes files are right where they should be. (I have always had iTunes set to move imported media into the iTunes folder so there is no stray media floating around on either system. And I have iTunes set to organize the media.)
It is worth noting that I started seeing this around the time when I upgraded to iTunes 12. When I upgraded to iTunes 12 I had to change the path to my home library from "\\<NAS>\iTunes\iTunes Music" to "M:\iTunes\iTunes Music" due to a bug in iTunes that created iPhone syncing issues if the iTunes library is on a network drive. But I can't figure out why this would matter. The path on the work computer is correct and all media files are there.
Ideas? I just don't understand how deleting everything and starting over doesn't solve the issue since there is NO issue at home.

Thanks again for your help with this, tt2. (I keep wanting to call you "Alan".)
I totally botched the repair process, including my library and media collection, four different times. If not for the fact that I had a complete, up-to-date copy of my library and all media files I would be completely scr3wed right now. I'm going to outline the mistakes I made for the benefit of those who might reference this thread in the future.
A big part of my struggle was the underlying assumptions I was making about how the iTunes database is maintained and tracked. It is not the same as the digital asset managers I use for work—Lightroom, for example. I really had to quit thinking for myself and pay attention to what tt2 wrote about the way the iTunes db works in the link he provides earlier in this thread about making split libraries portable.
The biggest mistake I made is failing to understand that after you move the iTunes library files (but not the media files) to a new iTunes drive or directory outside of the existing iTunes folder and then shift-click to open that relocated library in iTunes you have to set the iTunes Media folder location (in preferences>advanced) to the empty iTunes Media folder in the NEW iTunes folder. You do NOT set it (or leave it) pointed to the old iTunes Music/Media folder where your files [may] actually reside before consolidation. This mistake can make a bad situation much worse.
Finally, I did not have a split library in the sense that my media files were outside of my iTunes Media folder. Because of this, when I incorrectly pointed the new iTunes library to the old iTunes Media folder and then consolidated I created 9,936 duplicate files. I had a complete back up which made eliminating the duplicate files a simple process. Without the backup I would have been in trouble.
So...to fix my problem I followed tt2's instructions and did this:
Backed up my entire M:\iTunes folder including libraries and media files. If everything goes well, this backup will not be touched.
Created a new A:\iTunes folder plus an empty A:\iTunes\iTunes Media folder.
Moved everything from M:\iTunes to A:\iTunes EXCEPT for the iTunes Music* folder. (*It was the new iTunes 9 and later hierarchy but with the old name.)
Shift-Clicked to open iTunes and selected the iTunes library inside A:\iTunes.
Once iTunes was open I went to Edit>Preferences>Advanced and made the empty A:\iTunes\iTunes Media the location of my media.
Went to File>Library>Organize Library and choose "consolidate". After hours of file copying, my issue was resolved. A:\iTunes is portable.
Confirmed that the new A:\iTunes library correctly links to all media in the A:\iTunes\iTunes Media folder and then deleted the M:\iTunes directory with the old M:\iTunes\iTunes Music folder inside.
NOTE: It bears repeating that the problem solved was that I could not move my old M:\iTunes folder to a different workstation w/o breaking some of the links. However all the links worked fine in the M:\iTunes location. If this were not the case then this solution will not resolve anything.
