On waking, some windows remain dark for 20 seconds

On my iMac running 10.9.4, when I awaken the screen, a window which was open (e.g. Mail or Safari) when the computer went to sleep remains black while the desktop around it is fully awake and populated.  This is a relatively new problem.  This morning, the desktop image (wave) and the Dock were present without any of the files/folders on the desktop for the same c. 20 seconds. 
This isn't a serious problem for functionality, but I am worried that since it is a change in the computer's behavior, it may signal some other impending issue.
Ideas, anyone?

I tried every one of the possible fixes in this. The only thing that works is running in safe mode, or just disabling all addons and extensions. It appears this newest version is not compatible with anything. A poster on here said going back to Version 3.6.13. Fortunately, I had it still saved in in my downloads, so I removed Firefox 6, reinstalled the old version, than turned off the auto updater. Does not hand at all now.

  • Tool tips which remain stay for few second in forms11g

    Hi,
    I haven't been able to figure out how to control the duration of a tool-tip in oracle Forms11g in windows environment.
    I have a form that have a tool tips which remain stay for few second even though I move from that item.
    I didn't find any property to set the duration.
    Any help is highly appreciated.

    Hello Francois,
    we have a menu just above an icon toolbar. If you move the cursor upwards from the form over the toolbar to the menu, then it often happens, that the tooltip of the toolbar button shows up at mouseover and does not go away and might even block the topmost entry of the menu dropdown.
    Sometimes the tooltip goes away when the mouse leaves the toolbar and gets back, when the cursor gets down within a dropdown menu.
    Regards

  • Some windows in photoshop appear on second screen which is no longer there

    Some software is still recognising a second screen which i no longer have. Palettes are unseen on my screen while all indications are that they are there. Reseting palette loction has no effect.

    John,
    If I am not mistaken on this (I could be), these settings are stored in your Finder's preference file. Try moving it to your Desktop, then restarting your Finder. If the problem persists, you will probably want to move the old preference file back to its original location to preserve any settings you have accumulated. The file you want to move is this one:
    /Users/HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

  • Some photos come up for a second then become blank

    On some sites, the photos flash by, but when I put my cursor on them, that part of the photo will be enlarged to show details.

    time to time (when I have a chance), I will go to Finder, bring up ALL Images and start going through them to label them (before I put a label on them, they are simply listed as 123 jpg, 124 jpg etc.).
    You're damaging the Library doing that, and that's the cause of your problem.
    Never, ever, ever use the  All Images search and work on items in yoyr iPhoto Library. They must only be accessed via the iPhoto window.
    Restroe from abck up or try rebuild the Library:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Next: You need to learn how to use iPhoto. There's no need to be dragging things to the desktop:

  • Windows Vista Drivers for 1820 and 1616 - Lets have some drivers ple

    <span class="postdetails">Windows Vista Drivers for 820 and 66
    I hate to say this about E-MU but the way they are dealing with Vista Drivers is unprofessional. I am a repeat customer of Creative products and was so impressed by my old Platinum eX that I bought a second to run duals for tons of audio processing. That was back in the day. Then I jumpped ship and tried out an M-Audio Firewire 40. That did not last too long beforei was completely unimpressed. So I came back to Creative... Purchased a 820 in the box. So impressed I turned around and purchased a 66 in the box just 8 months later. Both ran smooth as butter... All until i just recently built my new system designed primarily with audio production in mind.
    With a setup like this, who needs a mac?
    AMD Athlon X2 x64 Dual Core +6000 3.0 Ghz
    2 Gigs Corsair
    Samsung SyncMaster 206BW 2" Wide Screen
    EVGA NVidia 9700s 256 DDR3 Graphics
    SATAs up the yin
    and a PCIMIA to PCI Dock
    All under Vista Ultimate OEM
    And Guess what?
    Months into RTM of Vista...
    E-MU is caught pushing release dates.
    Last month it said they would release beta drivers middle of April...
    I waited, patiently I might add.
    I waited<waited some more, I try running xp drivers... computer wont even try to install them properly.
    My software waits, computer waits, turns into a gameing machine just because my all together 600 dollar investments in Creative are not important enough to leld me the drivers i need to be producti've in what i love.
    I need x64 drivers stat. I need them working, I need them installable without a glitch, a hitch, no driver signing problems, no questions, no fuss no muss. I find it ironic that you guys at E-MU are willing to jump right in there and make sure to have drivers compatable for you new products, yet faithful advocats of the most powerful soundcards you have are sitting here dead in the water because you dont find it nessesary to place priority on ready and waiting end users who have purchased long term support buy investing large amounts of moola into hardware from your company.
    Come on, its not like the 820 or the 66 are exactly legacy technology. We are talking about Hardware that is only two years old and should be usable for up to 6 years. This is deffinatly a strike against the company and just goes to show where Creative stands.
    I have stood by waiting in silence for a very long time.
    Now i think my time has come to tell how i feel and i believe there are alot of others out there that feel the same. the only items that do not work soothly are my E-MUs... go figure.
    And I have been looking forward to all i can do running both of them side by side.
    Oh yes, and that link posted above to the beta news for vista... its a joke. open up your betas, and have a real dev tell us what the hang ups are... At least give us real concreate reasons why it is taking so long.
    with that said, when you guys get yoru act together and get me some drivers, I will sit happy as a lark.
    My thoughts for today.

    Hello Silas,
    sorry for my bad english
    I already checked that page. On the first time I was trying to install Vista on a clean hard drive. The installation process finishes without errors but after installation Vista shows me a lot of error messages, mostly about unknown hardware. So I installed all available drivers I have found on Toshiba web site. It not helped me too much, hardware problems still remains. I could not find out what exactly causes probles. Finally I decide to install XP and then upgrade to Vista. Now everything seems to be ok. :D
    There was some hardware problems but much easier to resolve. It seems to me that Toshiba did not provide all the drivers, for example StarForce Protection drivers. Vista did not recognized this hardware on the first time.
    Now it works!

  • I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file fi

    I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

    (1)    Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32-bit, only). Attempting to install ATM on any newer version of Windows may actually disable Window's capability of rendering Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts, requiring a reinstallation of Windows.
    (2)    There is no need to use ATM to install any fonts under Windows.
    (3)    The file name ._DIN-bold is indicative of a MacOS font. These fonts cannot be installed on Windows systems.

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

  • Kinect for Windows v2 cannot reliably remain online for prolonged periods

    We are developing a .NET 4.5 app that records Kinect frame streams to a huge disk array, 24/7. However, it appears that a vanilla installation of the Kinect cannot remain online for prolonged periods. After a day or so, frames simply stop arriving for no
    apparent reason. There is nothing in the Windows Events Viewer that seems related; Device Manager also does not show any problem for the Kinect devices.
    Could somebody look into this issue?
    We have just disables power management on the whole chain of hardware (PCI express -> USB 3.0 controller -> Kinect) and will see if it helps.

    Are you using any custom code to write the Kinect Frames to disk? or are you using Kinect Studio?
    If using your own custom code, check to make sure you're releasing all frames (Disposing them) appropiately. Not doing so, even in the most subtle way could easily cause this behavior.

  • Some Windows 8.1 Modern Apps will not open

    Hi We have been using Windows 8 for 2 years, however since a recent migration to a global AD system multiple modern apps have stopped working. Mail, Store, Camera etc all work - however as an example Yammer, Weave, Facebook, Ebay etc all go to open, show
    the splash screen then close (well they remain open on the side bar as a splash screen.
    I ran the modern UI checker tool, all ok (initially it told me UAC was disabled, but it wasn't - but I clicked to correct this and its not reappeared.) it prompted me to update all my drivers - which I have done. I've checked folder permissions as per Article
    ID: 2798317
    Is there anything else I can check - it must be a group policy or rights change, but I can not find it. Additioanlly we are looking to widen the rollout of Windows 8 but unitll we resolve this there is no point.

  • Awesome: Windows remain present all the time after libpng update

    Hi there,
    After the libpng update this week, my awesome behvaes strange.
    As awesome depends on cairo-xcb, I‘ve downloaded the tarball from this page, extracted it and ran makepkg -s followed by sudo pacman -U. Seemed to work, so I repeated these steps both for awesome and vicious-git and finally ran sudo pacman -Syu. During the last few days, I repeated some of theses steps (eg. I rebuilt cairo-xcb again)
    So I was able to launch Awesome again, but some strange issues occured: After closing (or even killing) windows or switching tags, windows remain present. The awesome context menu behaves as these windows: It does not vanish. In fact, if I open more than one window, awesome becomes practically unuseable.
    I moved my awesome config file (~/.config/awesome/rc.lua) and therefore awesome loaded the default config file, but the error occured again.
    So, after googling and asking in the IRC (nice to know that most awesome guys do not have problems with this update…), I finally use the forum
    Thanks for helping me out here, Keba.
    PS: Obviously, the “awesome“ in the title refers to the window manager not to the awesomeness of this error.
    //Edit: If I move windows, they leave some lines behind them, so awesome seems to have problems redrawing the screen correctly…

    Yes, and disabling that helps, thanks a lot
    For some reason I use the non-git-version, so I built the git version and installed it. Even after rebuilding cairo-xcb again, I get the same problem again So, how to use xcompmgr?
    Thanks, Keba.
