Parallels window not displaying in Lion

I installed lion fine. When I try to open Parallels, it seems to open but no window shows up. I hear the Windows sign-in sound but I cannot see it. It just seems like the window is there, but I can not find it. Any ideas? I updated Parallels to the latest version as well as Lion.

Should work if you have the most recent version of Parallels. Contact their tech support for more assistance.
In case you did not do this prior to installing Lion consider doing it now:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
To boot from the Recovery HD restart the computer. After the chime hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

Lion finder window not displaying file info

I have a MacPro which I've updated to Lion. I have four hard drives installed. When I open a finder window from three of the drives, I get the expected (from Snow Leopard) behavior: in icon view, images display pixel dimensions, movies or audio files display run time. This is assuming I have Show Item Info clicked in the View Options. But if I open a finder window on my start-up drive the file info is not displayed. If I open the View Info panel and click/unclick the Show Item Info ckeck box, I can see space expand or contract beneath the file, but no info is displayed. Is this a bug or a "feature"?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Greek/math symbols do not display in Lion though working correctly in Snow Leopard.

I am attempting to edit/use powerpoint presentations created in Office 2011 on Snow Leopard. Though my math and Greek symbols display perfectly correctly on my Snow Leopard laptop, they do not display on my Lion desktop. Instead, they are replaced with a "W in a box" symbol. I have already been in the FontBook to resolve fonts as suggested on other discussions and this has had no effect. Right now my only solution appears to be to painstakingly replace every single symbol by hand using the "insert symbol" menu, whereas previously I could for example type "D" and then switch the font to "Symbol" to obtain a delta character. It appears to be a font issue with Lion: how do I get the proper symbol font back?
I appreciate any advice!

It is really a bad idea to use the old symbol font that lets you type D to get a greek letter. Instead you should be using Unicode fonts where you input math and greek via the Character Palette or a dedicated Greek keyboard layout.
But I gather that you have to deal with files that were created with the old stuff, and it sounds like your Lion machine is missing the old kind of font. Presumably you have one on your Snow Leopard machine, so you just have to move a copy to the Lion system.

Opening PopUp window not displaying 1st view in background

Hello,
I developed WDA with Tree UI element. now on click of childnode (UI elemment TreeItemType), i am opening window. below is the code that i put in method.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                     window_name            = 'W_JOBCODE'
                     title                  = l_string
                 close_in_any_case      = abap_true
                     message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
                 close_button           = abap_true
                     button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_close
                     message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
                     default_button         = if_wd_window=>co_button_close
l_api = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window->set_window_position( position = if_wd_window=>co_center ).
lo_window->set_window_size( width = '900px' height = '900px' ).
lo_window->open( ).
also i embeded view V_JOBCODE inside window W_JOBCODE.
my requirement is that when this window gets opened, my earlier view should be displayed in background. Now when the window is getting opened, the ealier view is not displayed at all. earlier i developed another WDA where i am displaying window on click of URL to Action UI element and there i am able to see the 1st view in background. I checked all things but not sure why for my current WDA, i am not able to see 1st view in background.
Please let me know if anyone has any clue.
Regards,
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Use the below code to open a new window in the same component.
data: str type string,
          l_window1 type ref to if_wd_window_manager,
          l_cmp_api type ref to if_wd_component,
          result1 type ref to if_wd_window.
    call method cl_wd_utilities=>construct_wd_url
    exporting
      application_name = 'Component Name'
      importing
      out_absolute_url = str.
    l_cmp_api = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
    l_window1 = l_cmp_api->get_window_manager( ).
    result1 = l_window1->create_external_window(
    url = str ).
    result1->open( ).

Menu windows not displaying properly in Acrobat 11 STD

When I try to print any PDF file (clicking File->Print) the Print Menu that opens is missing all text in the window incl all buttons. I tried installing a separate Adobe Reader in local Danish language just to test the application but this was worse. So uninstalled and sticking to Acrobat.
I also tried click File->Properties and this is also not displaying properly.
I fear this has something to do with Microsoft compatibility, but I don't know. I have MS Windows 7 Pro SP1 installed.
The good news is I can guess the bottom 2 buttons - 'OK' (left button) and 'Cancel' (right button) which at least allows me to print in the default preferences.
Any ideas how to fix? I have the latest update installed.

I have been working together with Adobe support team to solve this. After multiple rootcauses we found the issue.
The issue was caused by not having the default windows font 'Segoe UI' installed. Sounds strange that Win 7 does not come with the font that is used by this application but the tip worked.
Google a website to download the font from, I used 'Fontpalace.com' - install the font - and voila the issue is solved.

Design Window Not Displaying Correctly

In MX 2004, I have a layout in which the column structure is
set forth in CSS, but the columns then contain HTML-defined tables.
Is this mixture problematic in MX 2004? If I hit F12 or upload, the
result is fine, but in the Design window, the display is thoroughly
broken. Elements are skewed left-right-up-down, or don't appear at
all. I'm flying blind.
Is this problem known in MX 2004? If so, is it one of the
things that "expanded CSS support" of Dreamweaver 8 fixes? I'm
loath to upgrade if all I get is the same limitation.
Thanks in advance

> Is this mixture problematic in MX 2004?
No. Most likely your code is 'troubled', even if it looks OK
in the
browser. Can you post a link to the page? Does the page
validate?

Expose Minimized window not displaying

In the Snow Leopard I would use Expose to quickly navigate my windows and apps running on my desktop or minimized in the dock. This made it very easy to get to these minimized items without having to browse my dock and look for the icon.
Now I upgraded to Lion and it appears that in the birds eye view of Expose/MIssion Control it will no longer display apps or windows that were minimized. I do see dock in Mission Control but is there a way to get back the ability to see apps that are running and have been minimized to the dock?
I know we can not use full screen apps and not have to minimize as much but still it would be nice to get this feature back.

Just minimized windows of the current app? Mhn, I am used to all apps...
Thanks Barney.

TOC/Search window not displayed in WebHelp Pro output

Robohelp10, WebHelp Pro -
I've got what I have to think is pretty fundamental question: When I generate my WebHelp Pro project, everything works perfectly until I move the contents of the output folder to a network drive for viewing. When the default topic opens, rather than displaying the TOC/Search window on the left, I'm getting a link that says "Show". Click that link, and the TOC opens right up.
I would like to have the TOC displayed on that initial view, without requiring users to click the "Show" link.
Again, when I view the results of the output on my local drive, the TOC is displayed. The obvious problem is, the generated help needs to reside on a network drive to be accessed by our users...
PS: The project is on my local drive, only the contents of the output folder are being moved to the network drive. Also, everything other than the TOC display seems to be working fine.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Larry, Rick has solved your conditional build issue. However, do check to make sure you have all the updates installed for RoboHelp 10.
WebHelp issues in RoboHelp versions 10 and 11
I notice you are using IE. Does the Show link occur with Chrome or Firefox as well?
Meanwhile, I'm still suspect that you are not opening the correct "default" start page file to launch the WebHelp and that's why you're getting that "Show" link. This is "tell-tale" that you are opening the default topic file instead of the default Start Page. By chance have you somehow named your "default topic", index.html? If so, this is not correct.

Preview window not displaying video

As of yesterday when I was in the middle of a project, the preview window simply stopped displaying all video being played off the timeline. It previews the videos in the top left window just fine though. I restarted the program and it still did not fix the problem.
However it seems to be acting strangely in that at random times the video will show up, but then dissappear again once it passes an edit point. I also tried dropping a new clip in the timeline, which caused every thing to work again. Then 10 seconds later the preview disabled not allowing me to see anything. Whether I play it or keep it paused at a point, nothing shows up.
I have been editing this same project for a couple of weeks with no problems. I know it has nothing to do with the media. Running off the latest update and latest OS software.

Actually I just took out one of the clips, which seemed to be causing the problem. No idea why that is since its the same format as the others.
I forgot to mention another unrelated problem going on. Sometimes during playback the audio will revert to a loud buzzing sound at random points in the timeline. Its at a different point every time. Sometimes happens 5 times in a row. Other times every thing will be fine for a few hours.
I trashed the prefs, repaired permissions and rebooted.
Edit: forgot to mention the audio levels are well below red line

Login window not displaying list of users

Hello, i work in a networked office environment, where we regularly sync our networked users to mobile accounts, using homesync.
On most of our computers, the login window displays the admin account, guest account, other (for network login) and any users synced. However on some computers, it just displays the username/password dialogue. I've checked the login preferences - and "display login window as: list of users" is selected. Also this information is grayed out as though it can't be changed. Is there a rogue system preference file that's causing this to not work correctly? If so where is it, can i delete it, or modify it to fix this situation? thanks!

I tried the commands you've listed. Upon checking the com.apple.loginwindow.plist files, I noticed that the changes ARE being made to the file, but loginwindow.app is flat-out ignoring the settings. As for the stuff I tried earlier:
Boot into Single-User Mode
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /Library/Preferences
rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
cd /Library/Caches
rm -r *
cd /System/Library
rm Extensions.kextcache
cd /System/Library/Caches
rm -r *
reboot
...and after this had no effect, I deleted the loginwindow plists listed above several times from the Finder to force loginwindow.app to regenerate them.
It seems like my problem has evolved slightly since my first post. At first, changes made in the Accounts preference pane would have no effect on the contents of /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist. Now, the changes ARE made in the file, but loginwindow.app does not heed them. Any ideas?

Text in Wizard Windows not displayed

Hello,
for a functioning test I installed form builder 6.0.8.11.3, as downloaded from OTN.
Now I found, that text displayed in wizards (for example layout-wizard) or messages is often too long for the windows, so only a part of it can be read.
Is there a parameter to set the fontsize or any other help, because at the moment I can only work with parts where I don't miss the hints.
Thanks
Marcus

Brad,
I have the same issue, although mine seems to be related to my signature, which is just plain text, but it causes the window to expand to about 6x's the width of my screen. Plain text signature not wrapping in Apple Mail 8

How can I edit an Address Book Distribution List that will not display in Lion?

The option to edit an Address Book Distribution List (to select preferred emails for certain contacts) only appears as light print and does not respond to selection. I have a number of Address Groups that display and funtion properly in Mail, but since installing Lion, the problem described occurs. Any fix? Thanks.

The key is that the Contact List is now being kept in the Cloud & you cannot edit the Distribution List in your Mac's Address Book.
The fix is:
Quit your Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Uncheck the CONTACTS icon
Close Sys Pref
Open Address Book - Edit your Distribution Lists (No longer Greyed out)
Quit Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Check the CONTACTS icon
You should be good to go!
Hope this helps!
...John

ARD Window not displaying

Am trying to connect to ONE server among a rack of three. Can ARD into the other two fine. But this other one will "connect" but not show the remote window/display. I can see the server in the drop down "Window" menu (as if it's connected and should be displaying).
SSH and AFP also work just fine. So I can touch the machine and can see all critical production services are as they should be.
I'd normally chalk this up to port mapping or some such if it weren't for the other two servers behaving as they should be.
Any ideas out there. Would rather not bounce the server if we don't have to (more uptime pride than anything else).

Is this the same issue as in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2177922 perhaps?
Since you can SSH into it, check /var/log/system.log for:
AppleVNCServer[64410] <Error>: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSGetDisplayBounds (display b01a4668)

Firefox window not displaying properly even after clean install

Hi - Yesterday firefox stopped displaying properly on my windows 64-bit dell laptop running Windows 7 home premium. When it starts up all I get is a thick translucent bar at the top of the window where the toolbars normally are, and the main content pane is jet black. I'm pretty sure firefox is actually running. If I pass the mouse over the transluscent bar the cursor changes to indicate whether in input boxes are for web addresses and the google toolbar, and task manager shows it is running the firefox start page. But I can see nothing.
I have uninstalled firefox, rebooted and done a clean install (twice) based on the help instructions, but no change. All other applications seem to be running normally. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with firefox.
Thanks

hello jp100, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Why are my pop up windows not displaying?

I am not referring to advertising pop ups, but, for example when I am looking at Ebay I may click on a photo to get a closer look at an item. The window will open, but the photo does not come up.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
