Onscreen content randomly dissolves to the sides

onscreen content randomly dissolves to the sides, leaving bars which when clicked bring content back

This sounds like it may be one of the gestures on the Magic Mouse, "Swipe between full-screen apps".
Place two fingers on the surface of the mouse and move them from left to right. This will move you to the dashboard desktop on the left. Sounds like you're moving part way there accidently. Lifting you fingers will let it slide back.
If you'd like to disable this gesture then go to System Preferences > Mouse > More gestures tab > uncheck Swipe between full-screen apps.

Finder window shifts content off screen to the left.

This is posted in the Finder discussion also. I post it here also in the chance this is a Retina display issue. I never experienced this problem with Lion on my old MacBook Pro, just on my new Retina display.
On several occasions the window in my Finder shifts the contents off screen to the left. For example, in column view, the left most edge of the Finder window might be displaying files listed in column 2 or 3. And even that is only the rightmost sliver of that column, showing maybe the last 6 to 10 characters of the file/fold names. There is no horizontal scroll bar and there appears to be no way to force the leftmost content (which is off screen to the left) to come back onto the screen. This appears to happen randomly; at least I've not noticed a pattern. I'm usually in Column view. When this happens switch between view options provides no solution. Minimizing and resizing also have no affect. Scrolling does not work, nor does using the arrow keys.The only solution is to close the window and open a new one.
Anyone have this happen? Any ideas as to cause or cure?
Closing the window and opening a new one is not a "major" crisis, but the fact such a bug is running around is undermining my confidence in the system.
Thanks for your help.

Please post a screen shot of what you are seeing. If you mean to the left of the Finder Window, it goes under the Sidebar area this is normal if your focus is in the Next to right most column. Like this?
That is completely normal. The left hand side has to go somewhere when the focus in more to the right.
Although myh scroll bar does allow me to go back to the left.

Is there a way to keep the notification center on the side bar for Yoshimite

I have a duo screen and it will be really convenient if the notification center is always there on the side for one of my screen. However, every time I click on something else, it disappears. Is there a way to permanently keep my notification on the side?

You can poke around yourself, but right off I do not see how this is possible in customizing the plist.
Finder>Go>Go to folder>
/System/Library/CoreServices/Notification Center.app
You can right click to open> Show Package Content.

How do I download music on the new version of iTunes? My iPod is connected to my computer but when I would drag the music to download it on my iPod, the side window does not show up anymore, therefore it seems to not be connected to iTunes. HELP!

So ever since I downloaded the new version of iTunes, I have no idea how to add music to my iPod. On the last version, their was a box next to the iTunes Store box that said "_______'s iPod". Because I just used to drag my music to the box and add it through there, I have no idea where I would "drag" my music file now to add it. Simply, I just need to know how to add music to my iPod again in the most recent version of iTunes on my computer (11.1.5).

Cntrl + S will enable the side bar.
Then you can manually manage media on your iDevice as you always have.
Alternatively, control the content on the device by syncing the playlists and other media that you desire to the device.

Why most of the pages of my site are named "About me" if none have that name in the side bar nor in the inspector?

Here is my site for you to see what I am talking about; http://www.minkstereo.com after you enter, if you go to each of the menus you will notice that only Books and Ilustrations is named correctly in the tab, if you go to Drawings, Graphic Design, Crafts or any of the images you'll see that the page name is "About me" I have republished and check all over the page in iweb and I don't know why it is happening. Each page has a different name in accordance with the content both in the side bar and in the inspector it shows.
Any help is appreciated thank you.

Your images shows how to change the pagename, the filename. of the page.
Not the browser title.
Anyway, there is a textbox out of view that holds the title :
Beats me what it is doing there, but here is the oft repeated explanation :
iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
If the textbox in the Header is missing, iWeb uses a textbox down the page in the Content layer. If that textbox is also missing, it uses another textbox. If that fails it uses the pagename in the Sidebar. To replace a missing textbox in the Header, choose another theme and then change it back to the original one.
Sometimes you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
So use that textbox in the Header layer. Type your text. Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller (Or do Command--(minus)). Then select the textbox. In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
Resize the textbox. You may want to change the height of the Header layer.
Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
If you want to move the textbox to the front again to make changes, but can't remember the location on the page, drag the area with the mouse to select the objects.
Deselect objects you do not want to move forward by Command-dragging the mouse over these objects.
Next do Command-Shift-F to move the textbox to the front. Repeat the steps in reverse order to make the text visible.

Aspect ratio: 4:3 material being exported with black bars (on the sides!)

Hi all
I'm fairly new to using FinalCut Express: previously I've used other non-linear video editors on Windows.
I'm having a bit of a weird problem: I've got a sequence which was shot entirely in 4:3 (PAL). However, when I try to export that to a QuickTime movie it appears squashed from either side — black bars appear at the sides of the frame and everyone looks very tall and thin. The frame itself is still 4:3 but everything is being squashed to fit in the bars.
I've fiddled with as many settings as are immediately obvious to me to see if I can rectify this, but so far no banana: the sequence is about 90 minutes long and takes about 30 minutes to render each time when exporting.
Has anyone got any ideas what to do about this? I've been trying to do some research into how FCP/FCE handle different aspect ratios, and it seems to be a very complicated topic. In fact, in the same project I've got a sequence which contains almost entirely 16:9 anamorphic material. Ideally I'd like this to be output in a 16:9 frame with the few 4:3 clips appearing with bars on the side. However, it's only being output as 4:3 where the 4:3 clips appear full-frame and the 16:9 clips have bars at top and bottom...
Hope someone can help!
Mac Pro: 3GHz, 6GB RAM, X1900XT, BT, AirPort Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Tom, thanks for the reply.
Everything looks absolutely fine when played back in FCE; it's only when exporting to QuickTime that my problems start. The point is that this 4:3 sequence isn't being output into a 16:9 frame as a pillarbox: what's actually happening is that it's being put into a 4:3 frame with bars, with the result that the content is in fact being squeezed (it looks wrong).
How can you modify the aspect-ratio settings for a given sequence? I've looked through all the obvious sequence properties settings but have never found anything.
I'll just reiterate — it plays back fine within the viewer; only when output does it all go awry.

My Mid 2011 MacBook Air (shipped with Lion) has been having this exact problem for some time now.
It started being really annoying when I placed the Dock to the right part of the screen. 'Drag and Drop' anything to the Dock would almost always reproduce the problem to all Finder windows.
The only solution I found was to force close the Finder. And, of course, moving the Dock back to the bottom part. It still happened, just less often.
This issue is still happening after upgrading to Mountain Lion. But now it happens to a single window and I can solve it simply closing it.
It is not something to drive me mad either, but I am surprised there are so few people discussing this bug. I would love to know if there is already a solution.
Thanks.

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

First, AVCHD isn't just "one" clip, it splits the video & audio into several files each per clip, typically with randomly generated names. The only way they "play" correctly is if the software doing so is able to read from the data file ...in a different folder ... the information that X clip is actually A, B, D, #@, and 456 video clips and TR, #r54, and ert$%4 audio clips. The next "clip" is ... and on and on. So both rapid access to the video files AND that database file are necessary to play the files back, or do anything else with them.
VLC is a fairly decent but simple playback tool. It's nowhere near as complicated nor demanding in its "relationship" with those clips as an NLE like PrPro, which will be trying to do more reading & writing.
Further, many of the preferences in PrPro are natively set so that it writes project, cache, preview, & database files next to the footage. So ... if it doesn't have both a fast enough connection with the data AND space for putting all of it's own stuff there, it tells you it can't work the file.
Therefore ... the need to have the complete data from the card in the exact same folder structure it was in ON the card copied to a "local" hard drive.

DW template - why is the main content div lower than the columns?

I'm looking to use the DW template with 3 columns, a header and footer and have a couple of queries:
There is a gap between the header div and the main content div which does not appear to be a margin or padding. Why is the gap there?
Is it possible to remove this gap and have the main content div flush against the header div (like the 2 side bar divs)?

I don't have access to CS4 so cannot really determine what might be causing the gap. My suspicion, however, is that it's an escaping margin that is pushing the two divs apart. Try this - run a 1px solid border along the top of the main content div, e.g.,
div.content {
border-top:1px solid white;
Does that gap go away with the border in place? If so, then the top margin on the first child of that div is the culprit. The first child in that content div is usually an H1 tag.

Shared Services database content not found in the specified database - EPM

I installed three VM machines (Workstation) for the following on Windows 2003 OS:
VM1 : Oragle DB 11g, Shared Services. Workspace
VM2 : Financial Management, EPMA, Calc Manager
VM3 : Microsoft Active Directory
I have configured Database and Shared services successfully and all machines talk to one another.
Also, I created the appropriate table spaces for the Hyperion products with the right access on the database. And, I am able to connect from the client (VM 2 to the Database VM 1)using SQLplus.
When I tried to configure Financial Management, using the EPM System Configurator and put in the following values:
Database Type: Oracle
Server: VMDatabase (Name of VM1)
Port: 1521
SID ORCL
Username: HFM
password: *********
It returned the error message: "*Shared Services database content not found in the specified database*"
Can someone please help on what I need to check, Please!?
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Information from Oracle Support:
Shared Services database content not found in specified database
Cause
There is a flag in the shared services repository that indicates the shared services database is to be used as a registry. If that flag is not set, the configtool will not re-configure the database as a shared services repository.
Solution
Note: Make sure the Shared Services repository is backed up before doing any Shared Services Registry changes.
The registry flag isRegistryDB must exist and be set to true on the Shared Services Database Connection.
epmsys_registry.bat VIEW DATABASE_CONN
Find the shared services database registry entry. The entry in bold will be missing. The italicized item is the 'unique_id' referenced later (different in each installation).
COMPONENT - 3
NAME - Database:ORCL:HSS
ID - +11d1def534ea1be07ad8eb3012d2e3d310a7ff4+
TYPE - DATABASE_CONN
HOST - Database
HYPERION HOME - /home/hypadmin/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1
PROPERTIES -
isRegistryDB = true
dbUserName = HSS
dbJDBCDriverProperty = oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
dbJdbcUrl = jdbc:oracle:thin:@Database:1521:ORCL
registryDatasource = EPMSystemRegistry
registryDatasourceJNDI = jdbc/EPMSystemRegistry
dbName = ORCL
version = 9.5.0.0
dbPort = 1521
instance_home = /home/hypadmin/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1
dbPassword = GABaMyyplja+wLNCmLs8ag==
Run the following update to populate the isRegistryDB flag with the unique_id being the ID field used in the DATABASE_CONN registry entry.
epmsys_registry.bat addproperty #unique_id/@isRegistryDB true
Repeat the epmsys_registry VIEW DATABASE_CONN to make sure the flag is now set.
You will be able to reconfigure the shared services repository.
You can mark it as Answer/Helpful if you feel so.
Cheers!

Apple messed up the dock when its on the side of the screen...

I want to know why, oh why, the Leopard dock isn't as cool when it is on the side of the screen instead of the bottom?! I have always used my dock on the side of the screen cause it takes up so much less space. But you cannot launch stacks in fan view, only grid view and the dock isn't as nice and shiny!! The whole reason I bought Leopard was because of the fan view! Why did they do this? If I am missing something and that shouldn't be the case then please let me know. Thanks.

the new side dock looks awful, but it's an improvement over the beta versions which had the mirrored shelf on the side. if you'd like to modify the way it looks slightly, you can change the dock border graphics (in this case, the white line that runs along the outside of the dock while it is on the side) by going to System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Right-click on Dock and choose "Show Package Contents". Then, look for either "left1.png" to "left5.png" (or right1.png to right5.png) and modify the graphics as you see fit. Basically, the dock border is an 8-pixel-wide repeated graphic that runs along the outside edge. I changed mine to eliminate the white line and rounded corners and just fade off to the desktop, but it's still ugly...hopefully someone will come up with a better way of doing it soon...

thats a screenshot of my modified dock. not the best looking thing, but better than the half-assed version it shipped with.

Where is the iTunes Side Bar in ver12. I hate not having the Side Bar!@

Where is the iTunes Side Bar in ver12. I hate not having the Side Bar!@
Continually feel like I am in Apples 1984 video, except Apple replaces IBM as the "Big Brother", lets all walk in lock step to the Apple Reich!
Give us back the iTunes side bar Apple!!!!

There are multiple threads on this subject already. Why open a new topic on the same subject?
FYI the sidebar is not gone. You can activate it pressing on the button Playlists in the white topbar. The functionality of the sidebar is limited to managing playlists and content from iDevices. The rest has moved to the topbar als shown in the screenshot below.
In iTunes 11 you had to scroll down to manage playlists. You don't have to do that anymore. Playlists are always directly beside you library-view, while other function stay directly available in the white top bar.
Much better this way...

Displaying button images in the side bar

Hi guys,
I'm just finishing my first web site and i have noticed some problems with my side bar when i viewed the site in Safari. While i was developing i was only
checking firefox and IE. The site is www.becom.ie. On the CCTV page my buttons in the side bar have moved across and are occuping space in main content. I just cannot see what is causing the problem with the side bar buttons. They seem fine on every other page.
I have also fixed the problem you'll see with the header. I have added a float left property to the left image and every thing seems to be displaying ok. I just have to FTP the new changes to the header.
Here is my style sheet:

What I see is that you put in a </div> after the "Product DVR 400 Series". That causes the next <div id="images"> with its larger width as well as no float: right causing it to position to the left margin.
If you were to add a float: right to your #images, it should bring the balance of the page back into alignment.
Also, your #maincontent has a width of 760px, but your #images has a width of 960px. I don't think it will hurt to keep it at 960.
Hope that helps.

TS2446 i cant remember the answers to my security questions. i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. how do i fix this?

i cant remember the answers to my security questions. i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. i also have a temp pin. how do i fix this?

If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

How to add a vertical barcode on the side of each page?

I'm trying to add vertical barcode on the side of each page in my crystal reports. "Format with multiple columns" wouldnt work, because I need the barcode to be from top to the bottom of the page.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Well, I'm not sure how this can be done considering the barcode needs to display irrespective of the way sections execute.
It's as if the barcode needs to be placed at the end of the page-width (in a section of its own) that runs vertically(down) to the end of the page.
Here's something that I tried though and almost succeeded!
1) Create a simple report against the extreme sample database
2) Three fields in the details section
3) Create a formula called group:
whileprintingrecords;
4) Create a group on this formula
5) Add the barcode field toward the end of the Group Header section and increase its height
6) Go to the Group Expert and select the group > Options >options tab > check 'Repeat Group header on each page'
7) Go to the Section Expert, select the Group Header section and check the 'Underlay Following Sections' option
8) Suppress the Group Footer
You'll still notice that the barcode doesn't actually run from the top to the bottom of the page; there's still some blank space at the top and bottom.
Another thing to try would be to suppress the Report Header and the footer, Page footer, Group Footer.
Push the barcode field to the Page Header, bring down the contents of the Page header to the Group Header (Make sure you've got 'Repeat Group Header on each page' turned ON) and have the 'Underlay Following Sections' checked ONLY for the Page Header.
This takes care of the barcode not running until the end of the page, although it still leaves some blank space at the top and the bottom.
This blank space can be reduced to a minimal by setting the top and the bottom margins to 0 from the Page Setup.
Again, the second approach looked better to me and the barcode runs from the top of the page all the way to the bottom on every page without affecting the detail section processing. But this is a very simple report that I created and you might have some work to do on your's!
Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
