OS X Lion Server display problem with menu highlighting and button icons

I have attached  Grab capture of my screen showing the problems with the window top bars and button icons. This happened after a routine security update.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks

I have/had the same problem. Comparible setup running Lion Server GM. The natd service fires off the InternetSharing service from the prefspane instead of the regular natd service. This is verifiable by entries in the system log as well as the lack of the natd process running. Below are my findings from research/experimentation; please understand that this is what I have done to get it working, it is DEFINITELY not best practices and I'm sure not supported by Apple. I'm just conveying what I think is happening and how I dealt with it.
Natd - Executing the binary referenced in the launchctl job directly launches the InternetSharing service on Lion server. This does NOT act this way in SL server, where it works as expected. Replacing the Lion binaries with The SL ones results in natd working as expected: nat_start and nat_stop in /usr/libexec. In short, if you replace the Lion binaries with the ones from SL, it-s a drop-in fix. Natd isn't your only problem though...
Dns/named - It appears that Apple has limited named to binding on the loopback adapter only by default on Lion. Adding a listen-on clause to named.conf with the appropriate bindings will fix this. I'm assuming you're running natd, named and dhcpd on the same box...
Dhcpd - Works fine. It appears broken only because the InternetSharing service is replacing natd (why?!?) and it has a built-in dhcpd server (dumbed down 192.168.2.0 subnet). Once you fix natd, this runs as expected.
Firewall/ipfw - Gotta have this running so that natd will do translation. Remember to open the dhcp ports to allow the clients to get leases...
I hope this helps, I'm sticking with SL until these issues are worked out...

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

    What fonts are required to be installed in windows for Reader X to display all of its component parts?  My fonts were cleaned out and now the print selection screen only displays a blank image with no letters or buttons.  It would be nice not to have to reinstall 1000 fonts just to find the right ones.

  • Are there any problems with motion menus and buttons in DVDSP 2 on OS 10.4?

    I have not used DVD Studio Pro 2 since upgrading to Tiger but it appears to no longer be showing moving motion on menus and buttons.
    Are there any problems that I should be aware of when using DVDSP2 on OS 10.4?
    I have not upgrade to a newer version only because I do not have any HD software to create DVDs.
    Thanks

  • ITunes 11.1.3.8 on Windows 8.1 64 bit display problems with CD tracks and Internet Radio

    Recently installed iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine and I have the following problems:
    1) Inserting a CD in order to listen or import tracks I get no display of tracks when I click the CD drive in the side bar. The list has only white and gray lines where the tracks should have been listed and the top of the table contains some grabbed display from Music table (i.e. the first track that was displayed in Music but only 2/3 of the line. The status bar at the bottom of the iTunes window shows correct information about the number of tracks and total playing time.
    2) Hitting the play button while on this CD Drive listing starts the playback but the tracks play in random sequence even though shuffle play is not selected (not blue to be precise). In the zone with track name, playback progress, elapsed and remaining time and other track options the indications are correct.
    3) Importing the CD works but the tracks are imported in random order. Track information from CDDB providers is accurate eventhough nothing is displayed while selecting CD drive as per problem 1). Imported tracks in Music show in random order. This is also strange because when I was importing something from a CDDB indexed CD or even a non indexed one the tracks were always imported in the order they were written on disc.
    4) Going to Music -> Internet I get the same white and gray lines with no stations displayed but this time the status bar reads Zero Stations. Obviously I can't select/listen anything
    I'd say I'm quite experienced with iTunes, using it since 2005 but never had problems of this type. Some assistance would be helpful. I smell a bug that maybe shows up in my particular configuration. Searched everywhere, maybe not good enough, but couldn't find something even similar.

  • Problem with MSO's and buttons

    Hi all,
    I have created a fairly simple two page folio (CS6). On the 2nd page I have created a MSO with 8 states, underneath this I have placed all 8 images as small thumbnails which are linked to the MSO (using the "Go To State" function). All good so far. However when I push the file out to preview on my iPad (using Adobe Content Viewer) the final three images will not work, the first five work fine! Any ideas on why this might not be working?
    Thanks.

    Problem solved! Just created a new page and duplicated the layout and this time it works. Clearly I did something wrong in the first instance
    Thanks for the replies.

  • Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display.  The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom.  And the left side of the content is not visible.  I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct.  I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available.  When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart...  The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7.  The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion.  I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...

    That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.

  • Video Display Problems with Flex Builder 2

    I am currently trying out the Flex Builder 30-day trial and
    have been having problems running the software.
    System info:
    FB 2.0.1
    Dell Latittude D820 running WinXP
    NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M Video Card
    When I first installed it, my display turned to garbage and I
    had to reboot my machine to get it to a usable state. Someone
    suggested changing my display properties and see if it helped. When
    I tried 768X1024 with 8-bit color it worked. Once I installed it, I
    changed them back to 1920X1200 32-bit. Everything seemed to work
    fine until I started getting into some more complicated tutorials.
    My display crashed and looked similar to what I saw before. I
    updated to the latest NVIDIA driver from Dell. No help. I then
    tried the Windows Troubleshooting. When I turned my hardware
    acceleration to None, it started working again. There are some
    weird display issues with menu buttons and I can't launch my Nvdia
    software.
    Is there a better solution to this? Has anyone had this
    problem? I'm not so sure I'll purchase the software with this many
    problems.
    Thanks,
    Wendi

    I am Currently restoring my Power Book after a significant meltdown.
    Thanks for posting I too saw the shearing effect but shrugged it off thinking oh well I'll just reboot!
    If you are seeing this Buy a fire wire drive NOW and Back-up.
    I suspect the Video update changed a low level feature in the power management routines and this resulted in my Power book cooking itself.
    I've got a 12mth old Hitachi 7200 PATA drive in my Power Book after the Apple Drive cooked itself soem tim back and I have now got to back-up and restore my whole system. Luckiliy I have plenty of Big fast firewire drives around so I'm imaging the corrupt drive and going to run the Hitachi tool on it via a WINDOZE Thinkpad. Then a combination of clean install of 10.5.x and a migration assisted restore should do it.
    I'm really not very happy though! My Time machine image did not restore and the disk repair did not work. I have a corrupted asl.DB ( the log file for Apple System Logs) and the mac won't boot from its internal drive.
    I'll post the resolution here as it happens I'm at hour Disaster + 24 so I'm really cranky!
    I suggest If you have a G4 Power Book you resist the temptation to install the video update.

  • Lion Server Time Machine with Lion Client

    I have had a Lion Server running for a couple of months with no problem acting as a repository for Time Machine Backups from 4 Snow Leopard Clients.  I have two external USB hard drives partioned for each user's Time Machine.
    Today I upgraded the clients to Lion, and now Time Machine on all of the clients cannot see the partioned disks on the Lion Server.  Therefore, I have no disk to select for the client's destination.
    The Lion Server is updated to most recent and at 10.7.2.  The File Sharing switch is on and nothing has been changed as for as permissions or security on the external disks.  The external disks show up in the Finder and can see contents and info in them.  They also show up as share points on the Server App.
    The clients are now also Lion and updated to the most recent.
    Seems pretty basic, don't know what else to do.

    Finally figured it out on my own 2 weeks later.
    You have to open the Lion Server app and then turn on Time Machine on the server.
    It will then ask what disk you want to use, which in my case was an external 2tb USB.
    My confusion was that this is not they way you had to do it on Snow Leopard Server.
    On SLS, I never used Time Machine, but had to partition my external disk individually for each user.  e.g.  2tb disk was partioned into 4 separate volumes.  This was necessary to keep one user's Time Machine backup from taking up the whole disk and not leaving room for the other users.
    You then setup these partitions as Time Machine Sharepoint which would then show up as a choice on the users machine under Time Machine preferences, select disks.
    Therefore, under SLS, a user could select from any number of partions to backup to on the server.  On Lion Server, it appears you do not have a choice and can only backup to the one disk you selected on the Server App.
    At the risk of carrying on a conversation with myself online, my concern is now about limiting the size of the individual user's sparse bundle to again keep one user from taking up the entire disk for their Time Machine.  I guess that is another fight for another day.

  • Problem with Logic Pro and Soft eLicenser on Mountain Lion?

    Hi!
    I have a bunch of Arturia synths, which requires the Soft eLicenser to work. This has always worked great with Lion, never any problems with eLicenser (never had to open it etc.)
    Now - I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and tested my synths to make sure everything was OK, experienced a bunch of problems, and did a full recovery to clean Mountain Lion.
    After installing the Arturia synths, and adding my licenses, I installed Logic. Everything worked fine!
    BUT!
    When I closed an Arturia synth within Logic, or closed Logic after running a project with one of these synths, I couldn't reopen any of these synths within Logic afterwards - In fact, I couldn't open the stand-alones either! And when I tried to open the eLicenser Control Center, it would just say "Reading eLicensers" forever. After a reboot, everything is OK.
    I can open and close eLicenser Control Center and standalone synths as many times as I want, as long as I don't open Logic, and then Arturia synths as an AU in Logic.
    I found a workaround: Open the eLicenser Control Center, and let in run in the background (cmd+H), and then open Logic. Then I could open Arturia synths and close them, close Logic and reopen etc. without any problems at all. NO PROBLEMS.
    Until I close the eLicenser Control Center, then I have to reboot to be able to start it again.
    I hope you understand what I mean here. It's a bit hard to explain.
    In short terms: Logic makes Soft eLicenser crash when a eLicenser synth has been opened as an AU.
    The same problem is when scanning the AU with AU manager. eLicenser window should be open before scanning.
    Does ANYBODY have the same problems? Can anyone who has these applications test it out?

    So it definitely seems to be a issue with Logic.
    I can't force this error in 10.7.X no matter how hard I try, but in 10.8.2 it's definitely Logic messing things up.
    Could it be auvaltool which has a bug? Or is that only run with AU manager on validation?
    Hopefully this discussion can get some attention, and maybe it could be corrected. I guess a lot of Logic Pro users also has eLicenser Control Center for validation of their products.

    Are you using the latest version of Silverkeeper? - v.2.0.2 is stated to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

    Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

    Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
    Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?
