Odd Preference/Composing issue

When I try to select "Qoute text of original message" in my composing/responding section, it just won't click on. All the other selections in "composing" click on but not this one. Any ideas?

Still experiencing this annoying problem. Any suggestions would be helpful. I'm getting tired of copying and pasting messages into my replies.
I'm curious...anyone else curious?

Odd Airport Extreme Issues

Hi I'm new to these discussion boards but I was wondering if someone could possibly help me with some airport issues I've been having. My roommate and I both share use an Extreme with Comcast and as far as internet goes everything is great. However outside of that it has issues with my different devices. My main complaint that I would want to be fixed the most is the issue of my PS3. When I hook up my Playstation to the base station it recognizes everything fine and goes through all the steps without an issue. When I go to test the connect though it fails when it tries to connect to the Playstation Network. I know this is an issue with the Airport cause I have the same setup at another house with a different router and have no problems. The reason I find it odd though is because it will randomly work at the most random of times. If someone could help me that would be wonderful since I've been having to live with this for almost 10 months now

+I typically do adjustments to the configuration file via wireless. Do you recommend that I only use a hard-wire connection to adjust the configuration file?+
My preference is to do any configuration changes this way and I advise users to use this method, but if wireless works reliably, there's no reason to change.
Have you checked the disk for errors using Disk Utility?
Are you using a powered USB hub with the drive? The USB port on the AirPort Extreme does not supply enough current for a number of hard drives.
FAT 32 can't handle single file sizes larger than 4 GB, so that may be something to check as well.
You are correct that Time Machine can't be used on the FAT 32 formatted disk.

Odd Word 2011 issue

I have an odd issue with Office 2011. At the beginning of sessions, I can tell Word, other office programs, or adobe to share email as attachment, and they will correctly open Outlook and open a new mail with the current word document, powerpoint or whatever it is, attached. At some point during a longer session on my MacBook Air, however, this ceases to work, and the application either hangs, or generates - after a fair bit of thinking - an error message that "Word was unable to mail your document." (or Powerpoint etc.)
I can imagine this is a memory issue or memory leak, but short of rebooting, have not found a solution. Closing and reopening outlook does not solve the problem. Nor does closing other big memory use programs. Outlook continues to function, so, for example, I can compose a mail and attach a saved document to it and send that ok. But I cannot send from another application via outlook. It's clear the other apps know that Outlook should be the mail handler, since Word, for example, shifts the focus to Outlook, but then the process goes no further.
As I say when I reboot, the system works properly.
thanks for any advice.
Mark

New Airport Extreme802.11n &Very Odd Network&Computer Issues

Hi,
We Replaced a D-Link DGL4300 802.11G and a Airport Express M9470LL/A with the most current Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11N 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz Dual Band and a Airport Express 802.11N (to use with a Shared USB HP1022 Laser Jet Printer. I have contacted Apple Tech Support once regarding setup and mentioned this other ? strange issue(s)
We have broadband cable that goes to a Motorola SB5101(meets ISP specs) then Ethernet cable
from Cable Modem to Wan Port on Airport Extreme. We have multiple computers all with wireless capability 1) Imac 800mhz 874 mb ram 802.11bAirport Card 2) eMac 1.0 Ghz 1gb ram Airport Extreme 802.11bWireless Card
3) eMac 1.25 Ghz 1.0gb ram and a Airport Extreme 802.11bWireless Card* all running OSX Panther 10.3.9 *and each with 802.11B wireless cards 4) Macbook Pro bought Dec 2009 running Snow Leopard 4gb ram and 250gb HDand 802.11n wireless card 5) HP Tower xw4550 running Win XP Pro SP3 4gb ram 500GB HD and a 802.11G wireless card 6) Dell Mini Net Book running Win XP Home SP3 1ghz 1gb ram 150 GB HD and a
802.11n wireless card.
At first tried setting up the Airport Extreme with the Dell Mini as it met specs and (as of Yesterday) the Mac Book Pro is with one of our children at college but was able to set up setting up the Airport Utility and Hardware for both Peripheral Devices with the Mac Book Pro.
Then things got odd. All the computers were online (as well as two wireless "Live" capable gaming systems XBox360 and Sony PS3 , I did not check my eMac until the next day
and when I woke it from sleep (or started it) I got "You need to restart your computer"
? Kernel Panic , I ran Disk Utility, Tech Tool Deluxe, Apple Hardware Test and even Applejack. no change and while permissions were repaired Tech Tool Deluxe and The Apple Hardware Test showed no faults with anything, Tried PRAM. restart etc, then we had the other eMac 1.0ghz which has been unused since the Mac Book Pro arrived as a gift, Plugged it in , started it up, and got online, no black screen, even checked and responded to email, then restarted the (2nd eMac 1.0ghz) and the "You need to restart your computer screen came up!) once seems oh maybe, possibly its crashed, or dying out
but two side by side, No Way! , so we then isolated electrical outlets, to the extent with a 100 foot extension cord outside on our back breezeway, same thing. We even went and bought a new battery and tried it in both , no change, * Was able to shut off the airport card in safe mode, restarted and it functioned as a normal computer with airport extreme card off
*same with the 1.0ghz emac airport card off and restart and functions as a computer but no online access. We then moved one close to the Airport Extreme and hooked up by ethernet and changed the settings and Bingo no Kernel Panic Like screen and can get online, tried the other same thing! So currently the two eMacs sit side by side and we bought a long ethernet cord and it works on the table where it originally was,
I did mention this to the Apple Technician that called from Apple regarding a setup issue (as have 90 days telephone support) and he said *That there have been reports of where there are with a Guest Network (we had one set up and He had us remove it as He asked if we really needed it and I said no AND also with networks with computers with wireless cards 802.11b
and 802.11g computers on a network with the802.11n computers and a 802.11n Airport Extreme, he could not explain it any further, he suggested a possible 3rd party software incompatibilty : recent download (but have not done any on the 1.25ghz eMac and the 1.0ghz has been shut
off since Dec 2009. I am baffled , my Wife and I were seriously considering buying a new Imac to replace the 1.25ghz after the Black screen showed up, but when the other one did the same, and did the trouble shooting and then the ethernet connect we saved ourselves a lot of money (t would be nice to have a new Imac but $$ is not there)
and in the past week now (could be our ISP) our Internet connection has dropped off 4 times usually for 30-45 minutes but Friday 8-20-10 it was over 3 hours (yet our Cable TV came in) I will contact our ISP who handles both the broadband about the outages
and our cable TV has been fuzzy -grainy at times, I called Them Friday and their were no outages in our area (system wide) Now though (except with Win XP) that is our access to the Airport Extreme and Utility (it blinks orange off and on when the internet is down) the Airport Express has stayed green each time. I will contact Apple also as ?
is it the Airport Extreme (but its intermittent) channels are set to automatically if thats helpful data rather than set to a specific channel, its fairly rural where we live
I thought of buying Tiger but saw the extreme prices and I called Apple per a recent Apple Thread they did not have Tiger Retail(nor did I expect then to) but after discussing
the Emacs they said why pay so much for Tiger (and a lot are used) they said and went over both eMacs specs and I checked in detail online and called them back as it was in a "card hold" and bought Leopard 10.5.6 (as min of 512 ram, DVD drive (have a combo -drive) and a Power PCG4 which both are and I am now getting unused (non System) data off the eMac and backing it up as well and its job will be to be able to access the Airport Utility (Apple OSX Leopard 10.5.6 was $129.00 plus tax free shipping and it arrived yesterday so if settings need changed can do that (with Win XP the Airport Utility
was so different and after about 4 hours and no progress I stopped and switched to he Laptop the next day!
Has anyone experienced anything like this, I read up on both peripherals before buying and called as well to the Apple Online Store to make sure we could 1) set it up and 2) all computers specs were met to be able to a)use the network for online use and b)as well as shared printing from any and all computers and they do meet the specifications
* one last item , my Wife's Imac is also on via Ethernet, It asked for a WEP password and that was not a option in the Airport Utility set up ,only WPA-WPA2 Personal password-Security configuration
so She is not on wirelessly (though I know She has been as in the past, Her Imac was on a desk in the foyer ) That may have been with the 802.11b Apple Airport white dome and not the D-Link 802.11G router of which we had a lot of configuration issues
*I could be wrong and will read up on her specs via the Mac Tracker application or online
Many Thanks, Its so odd I did not want to leave out data etc but its a *long post and I apologize for that, I hope some one can send some light on this. On a positive avoided buying a new computer!
but makes no sense (at least to us)!

I too have a MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.6.6) and a PowerBook G4 (1.67 GHz, OS X 10.4.11) and an AirPort Extreme 802.11n. I configured the new AirPort Extreme Base Station N last week using the MacBook Pro and the PowerBook can no longer operate with AirPort on (Restart Computer message). A rep at the Genius Bar indicated that WPA2 encryption might interfere with the G4?? He recommended setting up WEP encryption, this is no longer an option using the AirPort setup assistant.
It would be very helpful to know how this original post was resolved. The G4 SHOULD be able to work with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n in theory, right??

Odd Run As issue with Windows 8.1 - Run As domain administrator not working

I'm having an odd issue on a Windows 8.1 laptop. I log in with my standard account, but want to open things like group policy management with my special separate domain admin account. so I press shift, right click, run as a different user - fill in my username
and password and get an access denied message. I verified I was using the right account info, verified UAC was turned off. I can run it as my non-domain admin account but of course I don't have access to everything. In the event viewer, I'm getting these messages:
Application log:
svchost (1648) SRUJet: An attempt to open the file "C:\Windows\system32\SRU\SRU.log" for read / write access failed with system error 5 (0x00000005): "Access is denied. ". The open file operation will fail with error -1032 (0xfffffbf8).
This and a few other similar messages show up in the application log, over and over again.
Also the Application log has a couple of these, showing up only when I try to open as the domain admin account:
Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards. No user action is required.
DETAIL -

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a complete loss.
As a quick edit - I also am not out of space on the hard drive, I have many gigs on my partition left.

Hi,
This issue may occur if you do not have the appropriate permissions assigned to the folder.
Please make sure you have the sufficient permission to access the folder:
logon with that domain admin account to check if you could access that file.
If it works fine, logon with that domain standard user account do it again.
In addition, why didn't you run as administrator directly(don't use
Run as different user)?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: Printing Preferences display issue

Hi everyone,
A user reported an issue with the PDF Printer Preferences drop-down menus running outside the window and that there should be more checkboxes below the three that are showing (see screenshots).
Here is a screenshot of this same window on a coworker's machine (same version of Adobe and Windows).
We are using Windows XP SP3. Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.3.1), and current video driver. The resolution is currently set to max, but I tried a few other resolutions but they made no difference on how the PDF Printing Preferences displayed. I've tried repairing, uninstalling, restarting, and then reinstalling but none have done the trick yet. I also have checked the DPI settings and it is set to Normal.
If you have any advise, please let me know.
Thanks!

SOLUTION:
The issue was somehow related to DPI (START > Settings > Control Pannel > Display > Settings Tab > Advanced button). Eventhough the DPI was set to normal, I switched it to LARGE, restarted the machine, logged in after the reboot, changed it back to normal size, restarted again, logged in once more, checked the Printer Preferences and PRESTO --- a properly displayed window.

Odd file access issues OES 11 SP1

Hello,
We're running a VMWare ESXi 5.1 cluster. On that we have an OES 11 cluster managing groupwise/iprint/nss/dhcp/dns services. Over the summer we updated to SP1 on the OES side.
This school year we have seen some odd issues, particularly with our NSS volumes. Occasionally, some users will report that they can't see their home directory or other shared folders. I actually had one user opening up a shared folder for our high school and was seeing a shared folder for a completely different school. If you created a new folder, it put it in the proper share. So, very weird behavior. Generally a client reboot fixes the issues, but it's becoming common enough that I feel there is some underlying issue.
Any thoughts about what could be causing this? I'm not even sure where to look as far as logs go when we see the problem.
-Ian

You've patched up SLES and OES to the current patch level? What client OS and protocol is in use? What Novell client version, if any?

Odd web browsing issues

I recently got a new iMac G5. While I love the computer in most aspects, surfing the web has posed some weird issues. whatever browser (the big 3 seem to be having the same problems) a webpage may not fully load, or it won't load at all. For example, I'll try to post an image up on my Sheezyart page, i can go through most of the pages required to set up the upload of the image file but when I click submit on the final page, the browser will sit there and wait for sheezyart to respond. I can log into yahoo mail just fine but I can pretty much forget about hotmail. heck, right now my browser window says "waiting for images.apple.com" in the lower left corner. I know it's not the websites since I can access them just fine off my room mate's comp. It's not the network since other web apps work just fine (warcraft.) I've gone into the system preferences and, as far as I can tell, the firewall isn't even on.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at a loss and getting frustrated

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you installed anything like Pithhelment, or
Speed Download?
nope
Is IPv6 enabled in Apple menu -> System Preferences
-> Network?
should be, it's set to auto
Are the DNS numbers for the internet connection in
the same spot? Some internet service providers
require they be stated explicitly in your settings,
while others don't work well when they are in your
settings.
I don't even have any DNS numbers to put there
Are you sure the firewall you are connected to is
properly configured so that port 80 is allowed to
send all the information through?
yes

Odd iMac sleep issues

I first noticed the issues a couple of weeks ago - mid-2007 iMac, running SL.
The iMac will sleep fine if I use the command in the apple menu or the power button.
But it won't sleep automatically as suggested in the Energy Saving preference pane. If I select the 'sleep' keyboard combination (option, command, eject), the iMac sleeps but instantly wakes again.
I've tried everything! These problems aren't due to peripherals - it was working fine with the same peripherals connected. Wake for LAN isn't selected, nor is the wake for BT option (and I don't have any BT devices). I've looked in Activity Monitor and Console and can't find any obvious process that might be keeing the Mac awake. I've tried restoring plists from a TM backup, deleting plists, resetting the PRAM and SMC. One of these measures (not sure which one) worked ONCE. But when I went into the energy saving preference pane, it stopped sleeping automatically again.
My main concern is the lack of auto-sleep. I've scoured the forums and no one seems to have this problem together with the mac waking instantly after the sleep keyboard combo. I'm hoping this peculiar combination of probems might shed some light on what's causing them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can be very hard to impossible to track down auto sleep issues. Just get PleaseSleep.

Really odd First Launch issues

Hello All,
I am having som really, really odd issues with my PowerMac G4...
Everytime I start-up from a cold boot (I turn it off during the night...) I return in the morning, and it can't see my network!
I usually just restart again, and everything is fine.... but last friday, I had to fight with it for close to an hour to get it back working.
No patches have been applied, no setting have been changed, it's on a APC UPS system.. it is just used as a workstation...(graphical work)
It is running 10.3.9... (and has been since it was available, this issue has been going on for about a month now)
Any clues to this slightly aggrivating problem?
I don't really want to get a new Desktop until a Commercial MacIntel machine is available.
Thanks!!!

Hi Gabriel!
Why turn it off? Leave it on all night since OS X runs maintenence on the computer during the night. This could be part of problem . I would also suggest booting up from the install disk and running disk utility from it and repairing permissions.
Also, is it possible your APC UPS system is getting turned off at night too? Perhaps the battery is going bad and just needs replacing?
Good Luck!

Screen Saver System Preferences layout issue on Yosemite

Hi,
After a clean install (first formatted and installed from a clean bootable USB-stick (so a really clean install)), the Screen Saver System Preferences shows a glitch after activating the Photos App (I think). I checked every step in the process and the glitch showed up after activating the Photos App.
When navigating to System Preferences and then to Desktop & Screen Saver, first it shows two columns of screen saver types (as it should be), but when the photos from the Photos App are loaded (in the background in the Desktop screen), the preview window with the selected screen saver stretches half a centimeter to the left, pushing one of the two columns away.
I have already tried reinstalling Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.3, deleting caches, removing screen saver config files (tip from Linc Davis), etc. The console does not show useful information (for me).
In my case the issue shows up on my iMac (27-inch, Late 2012) and MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014). Only on the MacBook the two columns merge to one. One the iMac I only see a small stretch, but it does not cause the two columns to merge.
Please reply if the same issue occurs and if there is a known solution.
Regards.

Hi Cameron I'm not going to be much help because I too have exactly the same problem with my machine - I have tried re-installing Leopard and that makes not one scrap of difference - I have cleared out all the rubbish on the machine - no difference - sent umpteen "reports" to Apple expecting some sort of response - after all the OS is the best thing since sliced bread so they can't have many reports to deal with - perhaps its us causing the problem.

Odd String Truncation Issue

Hello all,
I am having the strangest problem with a crystal report truncating a text field when reading records from the DB. Basically, I have a varchar(6) string field in my Oracle database that holds batch numbers for credit card transactions. The report worked fine until some users started getting into batches numbered higher than 999. Anytime a 4th character is added (ie, 1004), my report will read the string as '100'. All of the other fields in the record are being read fine.
Oddly enough, this only happens on some databases/machines and not others. For instance, a DB dump of this data to a local machine will work fine and the report reads '1004'. I have captured the SQL the report is using to obtain records and pasted it in an Oracle client (TOAD) and the record pulls fine with the batch number being '1004'. The width of the field on the report is long enough to display much more than 4 characters, so that's not the issue. Anyone seen this type of issue before or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot it?
We are using Crystal Reports XI R2 to design the report.

Hi Chuck Reed,
Can you add that field through Add Command and see all digets are coming in ?
Go in Datbase expert --Under you datbase connection click on Add Command and write sql like
Select BatchNumber from Table and link the batchnumber with your table batch number and place command batchnumber in report and check.
Thanks,
Sastry

Group Policy Preferences Shortcut issues ( event ID 1085 )

I am hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem that is causing our users a headache
We have a Windows 2008 SP2 terminal server farm ( 1 gateway, 2 Terminal servers TS1 and TS2 ), we also use Group Policy Preferences to deliver app shortcuts to different AD user groups.
TS1 and TS2 were built from the same image. On TS1 users logon and get all the icons they are entitled to, on TS2 it is random to whether they get their shortcuts or not.
Both TS are rebooted daily and I have scripted removing any local profiles incase it was something left behind.
Checking the event Logs on TS2 I see several errors that appear to relate to Group Policy and correspond to when users have connected in.
any help with this issue would be appreciated.

Desktop Picture Preference Pane issue

Strange, newish issue: in dektop pictures preference pane, when I choose a photo from "photos" as my background, it always sets a plain blue background. Any other picture from any of the other folders works fine. All my photos appear in the pane as choices but no matter which I select-- only plain blue is set as the background.
All my photos-- iPhoto or otherwise are on my non-boot internal drive, but this should make no difference. Iphoto '08, btw.
G5 Dual 2.0G, OS 10.4.11
Hints?
Thx. --Scott

In finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Consider trashing the duplicates with a 1, and reboot.

Accidentally deleted only User in Directory Utility while trying to resolve "No preference pane" issue.

I have made a bit of, as far as I can tell at this point, a large mistake. After installing Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I encountered an issue where I couldn't load the Users preference pane. I attempted to resolve this with the instructions found here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4270303?start=0&tstart=0. Instead of deleting the JPEGPhoto, I used the wrong "-" button and deleted the whole user, that is the user from the lefthand pane. That user was also my administrator user, as well as only user on this computer. Now I can't go into anything really that requires Authentication, as that account and password no longer exist, and I can't reach Users and Group preferences because of the initial issue. I should also mention that I am abroad in countries without Apple Stores, so bringing my MacBook in is not an option, nor is re-installing Mac OS X as I do not have the disk and ML is downloaded from the App Store, which I now can't log into and see my purchases... How can I create an account that acts as an administrator? I'm afraid to log off or restart in the event that I can't log in into anything. Also, the user's home directory is still there, so I still have my stuff, but if I restart or anything will it be gone?

If you followed the instructions, you have a backup and you know how to restore from it. Do that.
