OSX 10.9.2 problems

I have a Mac Mini with a Samsung monitor.  Sometimes when I start up, I get a full screen.  Most of the time I get a 1.5" black bar on both sides of the screen. This has been appearing since I upgraded my OSX to 10.9.2.  Also, some windows don't show the red, yellow, and green "bubbles" at the top left of the screen. Another problem since I upgraded is "sometimes" I can't grab the gray bar on the top of the window (with the cursor) and drag the entire window to a new position.  Can you advise me on how to correct these problems?

The first thing to try is a NVRAM reset.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the thrid time.
Release the keys.
After that go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Displays. Select the Samsung monitor and adjust the resolution. You can keep trying different sets of numbers until you find one that works for you.
The three bubbles as you call them (I like that) will disappear when there is a full screen display. Pressing the esc key gets you out of that.

    Hi,since my update to OSX Yosemite,I have problems opening DW and AI CS6. A message with update to old Java SE-6 is displayed?Thx

    You need to install Java SE 6 to run those programs. There has been quite a bit of discussion here about that. Something at one of these links should get you going...

  • HP1102w wireless on MAC OSX 10.6.8 - problems in installing

    Hallo to everybody.
    I will try to explain my problem completely. I am desperate.
    I have a printer HP1102w and I want to use it wireless with my iMAC running OSX vers. 10.6.8
    I have a home wireless network with a Netgear wireless router.
    MAC is perfectly running on Internet and I can access my home-network from everywhere also with my Windows Laptop.
    Now I want to install my printer to print wireless from my iMAC.
    No way until now.
    When I installed the software from the CD the first time, I chose NETWORK installation and I also put my WEP keys for the network. No success. 
    Then I installed the latest software from HP website and when I click on CONFIG HTML from the settings window , it opens the html code and I can not see it a s a web page. What is wrong ?
    Blu LED on the printer is blinking all the time. 
    Printer is recognized and it prints when I use a USB cable to the MAC.
    Please help me.
    Thanks a lot.
    Riccardo, Florence, Italy.

    A couple of specific things I see:
    1. Do not use a software CD (ever, if you can help it).  It is often out of date.  In your case it is likely not compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6).    Let me know if you have any HP software in your Applications folder.
    2. Do not use WEP, it is not secure and can also cause connection problems.  Use WPA with a strong (13+ character) password that YOU create.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • OSX inactive memory management problems

    On my 2010 Macbook Air 11" running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion, I have run into some major issues with memory management. This problem persists across both my Mac machines and multiple generations of OSX. I have a 2007 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro Running Lion (upgraded from Tiger) with 3 gb 667Mhz DDR2 RAM and my 2010 Air 1.4Ghz Core 2 Duo (Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion) with 2gb 1067mhz DDR3 RAM. On both machines, for some time now, during normal usage; especially web browsing using Chrome and Safari (respectively); the inactive RAM on both machines will grow to consume around 30% of all RAM and force time consuming page outs to the mass storage drives on both machines. The Pro has a slower hard drive and the problem is the worst here, the air has a much faster SSD. I have found myself constantly having a window of Activity Monitor up on at least one of my desktops watching my RAM usage, using terminal to purge ram upwards of 10 times an hour to prevent costly page outs, especially on the Pro. I know Apple claims that inactive RAM is essentially free RAM that is temporarily storing recently used information for ease of access later and that it's supposed to be released as free memory when needed, but this obviously is not happening. Right now on my air my swap file is over 650Mb and I've seen it top 2Gb before. The air is exponentially better than the Pro due to the faster SSD, but I do notice substantial UI lag and a massive drop in fluidity as soon as my meager 2Gb is full and I start paging. The Pro is another story entirely, the entire system will essentially become unusable, having to wait several seconds for mouse clicks to even register. That's why I upgraded the stock 2Gb of RAM it comes with to 3Gb hoping that a 150% increase in RAM would help, but it just prolonged the inevitable. I still end up paging out just as bad across both systems if un checked. Even when I keep a close eye on memory usage and purge often, I still end up paging out because I'm not vigilant enough.
    I have to limit my browsing to less than 5 tabs and keep my number of open programs less than 2 on both machines. My active and wired memory rarely seem to top 70%, meaning the rest gets taken by inactive, which isn't functioning as Apple claims. Even if my conclusions aobut what is happening under the hood are incorrect, something is going terribly wrong. I can't upgrade the RAM on my Air at all, and the RAM on my Pro is capped at 4Gb. I'm holding on upgrading because I don't think the excess hardware will solve this software memory problem. Whatever is happening is causing a serious drop in performance for me (yes I do know I have underpowered machines), but there has to be something I can do to speed performance. I've read about disabling the dynamic page file entirely, which just seems to crash the system when free memory is gone, and I've read about programs that claim to free memory. Those programs seem to work by taking a high priority in the process heigharchy of the OS and then proceeding to eat up large portions of RAM and releasing them as needed in an attempt to replicate the true intentions of inactive RAM, but I've heard of problems with this method as well. Does anyone have a viable solution? Monitoring my RAM usage myself and ensuring I don't end up paging out is costly, time consuming, annoying, and inefficient since I fail to catch the problem before I page if I get particularly busy. There is no other OS I've ever been acquainted with that has this problem, not any flavor of Linux, not even the dreaded windows. I seriously hope Apple can do something to manage this runaway memory problem. I'd like to be able to open more than 3 windows in Safari. I've had to purge 3 seperate times while writing this on my Air, and I now have 678 inactive memory, 741 inactive, 582 wired, and less than 14Mb free out of 2Gb with a growing swap at 680Mb. Each purge becomes less and less effective and the last one I did freed up only about 100Mb and it got eaten up again by inactive in less than 10 seconds. On my Air, the memory hog is Safari right now at 700Mb between the web content and flash player with only Facebook, youtube, and this Apple Supprt tab open. I have NO other applications running in the fore or background other than Activity Monitor and Terminal. On my Pro the memory hog is always kernel task, I use Chrome and Safari both. While the memory used by the browser does not usually take up the most substantial portion of the total used RAM out of any process, the more tabs I open, the more RAM I use. The browser is usually the second heaviest RAM hog to Kernel Task. So it seems that across the two machines there are two lsightly different manifestations of the same problem with the same results: massive performance drops and extremely annoying and costly page outs no matter the reason. I just want this problem to go away. I've used underpowered windows laptops that can open a dozen tabs in a heavier browser like IE or Firefox while using other programs like Word or Excel and more with no memory lag issues. There's no way in **** I could manage to open that many pages in a browser while using Pages and/or Numbers on either of my machines and expect reliable (swap free performance). This is just kind of sad in my opinion. Does anyone have a way to get my OSX machine running smooth so that I can remove the one thing that windows and Linux fan boys get the right to laugh at my Macs for?

    Hi Zephryl,
    I was actually able to get an initial response from Sun on this a few months ago. However, the Sun Swing team has not followed up on a resolution for this pervasive problem, even though they noticed the same problem when running a test applet I had created for them. Apparently, I.E. is not releasing memory from the heap.
    Below is a quote from a Sun rep. on this in an e-mail sent to me on Dec 4, 2002:
    "I suspected the leak is in the native code because the # of handles and GDI objects keep increasing but no obvious Java objects are left behind in the Java heap during page switch."
    So, until Sun and/or Microsoft work out a solution to this, anyone who uses I.E. 6 and applets for their UI seems to be in a lot of trouble.
    As a note, trying to invoke the Garbage Collector does not do anything, but generally a very small amount of memory will be released (like maybe 5-10% of the memory allocated for the applet).
    Cheers!

  • IPhoto 4.0.3 vs Mac OSX 10.4.7 Problem?

    Since I've installed 10.4.7, I cannot import any new photos into my iPhoto Photo Library. Even putting several photos onto a HD, then importing just one into iPhoto causes iPhoto to crash, w/o any error message!
    There is plenty of free space (many gigabytes) in the HD for the Photo Library.
    Any ideas?
    G4 800MHz Quicksilver 2002   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    OK, Problem solved! When deleting the iPhoto Preference file, iPhoto lost the connection to its Photo Library, since it is on another, larger HD. While getting it back, I discovered that, updating to OSX 10.4.7 must have reset the permissions on this HD, so I could read, but not write to it. But iPhoto insisted on repeatedly trying to write to it, without any message as to what the problem was, until it finally quit, without leaving any message as to why.
    Changing the permission on this second HD from Read Only to Read/Write, fixed the problem.

  • DW CS5.5 in OSX Lion - anyone seeing problems with Spaces?

    DW seems to have problems with Spaces in OSX Lion.Switching into DW from other spaces is not 'clean'. When DW comes up, sometimes the Code/Design is blank white, and windows within the workspace don't show their headers. Clicking on Code/Design redraws that window, but the only thing that seems to recover the window headings is switching to and then back from another app in the same Space.
    Seems like screen redrawing triggered by switching apps within the same Space is a little different than that triggered by switching apps across Spaces.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    I did report it as a bug, using the link kindly provided by you and Shocker.
    The two Macs I've tried this on now are a Mac Pro and an iMac, so there's no Automatic Graphics Switching option to enable/disable.
    I was only able to check this out on the iMac late last night.
    Hardware synopsis:
    Mac Pro Early 2009
    Processor  2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
    The iMac isn't available to me at the moment, I'll have to fill in missing details later (can't remember the exact graphics card info):
    DW is CS5, not CS5.5, was also installed well ahead of the Lion upgrade
    Computer is iMac instead of Mac Pro, about 1.5 years old
    Quad-Core i7
    4GB memory
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7
    I used the same procedure upgrading to Lion on the iMac...
    Ran Cocktail 'Pilot' to clean up the system prior to install (runs Daily, Weekly, Monthly maintenance scripts, clears System, User, and Internet caches, repairs disk permissions on "Macintosh HD", clears log files)
    OS10.7 was purchased through the Mac App Store and installed.
    JRE installed.
    DW on the iMac exhibited the same problem as on the Mac Pro.
    To reproduce:
    Start DW, open a file for editing
    Start any other app in the same Space
    Open a new Space, open any other app there.
    Test switching between DW and other apps in the same Space compared with switching between DW and other apps in different Spaces.
    Consistently, when I switch between DW and other apps in the same Space, DW's windows/panels redraw properly,
    and when I switch between DW and other apps in different Spaces, DW's windows/panels don't redraw properly.

  • Osx 10.6 update problem

    Can't update osx 10.6

    OK, gotcha.
    When you tried to re-install the OS, did you erase the HDD before continuing with the installation? I'm presuming here that the original install discs are 10.6.x. It matters, because a standard re-installation only replaces system files, and if the current system has been updated (to 10.6.8 in this case) it may not be able to. Don't update to 10.6.8 before running the Applications disc; it should be done immediately when prompted by the installer.
    Erasing the HDD with Disk Utility from the installer disc should allow a complete fresh start. If the Application disc still fails check it for damage or dirt and clean it carefully.
    If you can't get it to work, double check the optical drive with ordinary DVDs (though it's unlikely to be the problem if the installer works).
    If it does appear to be a duff disc you can order another one from Apple Customer services; they'll charge about $16.
    Last resort is a retail copy of iLife'09 from Amazon MP et al - more expensive and will get even more expensive as iLife is no longer sold on DVD by Apple.
    iLife '11 is also available on Amazon, but lacks iWeb.

  • HP Premium C310a Printer/Scanner - OSX 10.9 Maverick Problems......

    I own a HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one C310a Printer/scanner which has the ability to print wirelessly and also e-print.  
    I used to operate on OSX Mountain Lion (MAC) before I decided to stupidly upgrade to OSX 10.9 (Maverick)
    Ever since I have done that, I have lost the ability to scan and print from my HP Utility.
    I have updated all my software as per the Driver/Support page of HP and also did a software update on my apple Mac but still I am having no success in being able to print wirelessly from my desktop to my printer as I could previously?
    I am able to print fine from my iphone to my printer and if I connect my desktop mac via USB cable, the print works fine as well, which leads me to believe that there is nothing wrong with the printer itself?
    If I continue to use the USB cable with my desktop and printer, i will lose the ability to print wirelessly which is something I use often.
    Anyone have any suggestions or solutions to my problem besides waiting for an updated driver from HP?

    Hi Enz
    I understand you are unable to print over the wireless network on the Maverick.
    I would uninstall the old printer software.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02259020&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
    Then reinstall the printer again by running the Apple Updates.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03967522&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4159&product=423...
    When you add the printer check to see if it added the printer driver name or the airprint driver.
    Try one if that doesn't work delete and add the other one in.
    Print out a configuration page and make sure the ip address and network name are valid.

    If you require further assistance please provide the following so I can assist you
    better.
    When trying to add the printer does it see it?
    What is the IP address? (just the first 3 digits)

  • OSX Server Website DNS problems

    I wanted to have a server  so I decided to get the mac mini server. We want to set up a small website with simple web services running on python and ruby.
    Now I'm trying to set it up to have a website connected to our domain (olm.io), but the domain name doesn't forward to the mac mini server.
    I believe the server is set up correctly. The router is set up to port forward incoming connections on port 80 to the server. To test that, connections to the ip 190.160.227.68 retrieves the server and shows up the test website.

    You will have two sets of DNS servers, your public DNS and the DNS running on your local network.  If your external DNS is getting to your servers, then that's probably working.  If you are getting the public IP address from your local network, then your gateway-router needs to "reflect" that address, or you'll need to configure local DNS services (OS X Server needs that in any case) to provide the local IP address for the public DNS name.
    Put another way, read the article cited earlier and make sure your local DNS is correct.  You can test for most of the common network and DNS configuration errors with the following harmless, diagnostic Terminal.app command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    ...and this will tell you about the configuration, and whether no changes are required, or about the various errors that might be detected.
    You can see what IP address you're getting with the following Terminal.app command:
    dig +short oc.example.com
    ...or whatever DNS host name you're using.  You'll get either the public IP address (which if you use on the local network, your gateway-router needs to be able to detect that and run the connections back into your network) or your internal local network address.
    Your local network clients will want to reference your local DNS server.
    Do read the article cited earlier, too.

  • Time machine osx 10.6.8 problem slow backupd CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary. mdworker32 kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.

    Hello Guys I have a problem that I can not get to the bottom.
    Time Machine has suddenly stopped working it really slow to make up. Copy a few kb at a time and long hours it takes to close the back. (up to a few tens of megs, 10, 20 Mb).
    I made ​​the following list of tests that will follow along with the log file.
    First of all I made ​​a copy as root with Carbon Copy Cloner disk of the iMac. (So that they can go back in case of disaster)
    Following the guides Pondini (pondini.org) I did the following steps:
    1) Changed the internfaccia FW800 to USB hard drive (does not change anything, still slow)
    2) Changed to another external HD for time machine with FW800 and USB (nothing changes still slow)
    3) Recreated the full backup with Time Machine on either drive (still slow)
    4) Reinstalled the 10.6.8 Combo Pack (still slow)
    5) Re spootlight indexed with the disk (still slow)
    6) At this point, in desperation I reinstalled on the internal drive of my iMac 10.6.8 creating a new user, User Migration Assistant from my hd clone with Carbon Copy Cloner. Recreated the full backup with Time Machine.
    The first full backup is fast, but slow incremental backups are back (as to 'start a few kb at a time).
    I compared the log files with those of my other machine with same configuration and I found these errors:
    backupdir [19376]: CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData (): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary.
    mdworker32 [20950]: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint () to catch errors logged as They Are.
    You know help me? I saw that this error is from 10.5 to 10.7, but no one has found a real solution to the issue.
    I never installed antivirus software and tried with different external drives COPN capacity equal to or greater than the external drive. Only at the end I tried to divide the external drive to back up into two parts by a 1.5 TB and 500 GB but with the same mistakes that I have described.
    thanks

    Ciao  Ragazzi ho un problema a cui non riesco a venire a capo.
    improvvisamente time machine ha smesso di funzionare va veramente lento a fare backup. Copia pochi kb alla volta e impiega tanto tempo ore per chiudere il backup. (backup di poche decine di mega, 10, 20 Mb).
    Ho effettuato le seguenti prove che vi elenco di seguito insieme al file log.
    Prima di tutto ho fatto una copia  come utente root con Carbon Copy cloner del disco del imac.(in maniera tale di poter tornare indietro in caso di disastro)
    Seguendo le guide di Pondini (pondini.org) ho effettuato i seguenti passaggi:
    1) Cambiato internfaccia del disco rigido da FW800 a USB (non cambia nulla, sempre lento)
    2) Cambiato hd esterno con un altro per time machine con FW800 e USB (non cambia nulla sempre lento)
    3) Ricreato il full Backup con time machine su entrambe i dischi (sempre lento)
    4) Reinstallato il Combo pack 10.6.8 (sempre lento)
    5) Re indicizzato con spootlight il disco (sempre lento)
    6) A questo punto preso dalla disperazione ho reinstallato sul disco interno del mio imac il 10.6.8 creando un nuovo utente, Assistente migrazione utente dal mio hd clonato con Carbon copy cloner. Ricreato il backup completo con time machine.
    Il primo full backup è veloce, ma i backup incrementali sono tornati lentissimi (come all' inizio pochi kb alla volta).
    Ho confrontato il file log con quelli di un mio altro mac con la stessa configurazione ed ho trovato questi errori:
    backupd[19376]: CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary.
    mdworker32[20950]: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.
    Sapete darmi aiuto? Ho visto che questo errore è presente dal 10.5 al 10.7 ma nessuno ha trovato una vera soluzione alla questione.
    Non ho mai installato software antivirus ed ho provato con diversi dischi esterni copn capacità uguale o superiore al disco esterno. Solo alla fine ho provato a dividere il disco esterno del backup in due parti una da 1,5TB e una da 500 Gb ma con i medesimi errori che vi ho descritto.
    grazie
    Stefano

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I followed the steps you listed and also remove the files that were creating problems spootlight, including the audio plugin and the panel preferences file.
    Then I stopped by the timemachine reindexed spootlight 'option in the preferences panel spootight privacy. After I restarted my iMac and formatted the external drive again, Time Machine and restarting a full backup. This morning after a quick full backup and disk indexing completed incremental backups are always slow. Proceeds with a few kb at a time. I resend you the log files and screen capture. My iMac is constantly backed up.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Logic Express 8 and OSX 10.6.5 Problems...

    Hi,
    I just did a fresh install of all of my software on my iMac.
    Previously had it running 10.6.4 and everything an fine.
    Now that I've reinstalled and upgraded to 10.6.5 Logic Express won't work.
    Anyone else having this problem? Am I just ging to have to upgrade to 9?
    I don't really want to as I mainly use Pro Tools and just use logic for drum machines and synths...
    Anyway! Any help is appreciated!

    I'm running 10.6.5 and LE 8 and it works for me. Of course I have a new imac that came installed with 10.6.5 and I installed LE on it. Maybe you can re-install LE. But hopefully there is another solution. I too don't really want to upgrade to LE 9 if I don't have to.
