Problem Opening Mac Browser with Ostermiller lib

Has anyone had this problem when trying to open a browser window more than once from a java application on OSX with IE5.1:
NSRuntime.loadLibrary(/usr/lib/java/libObjCJava.dylib) error.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/java/libObjCJava.dylib
at com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSRuntime.loadLibrary(NSRuntime.java:156)
at com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSRuntime.<clinit>(NSRuntime.java:197)
at com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSObject.<clinit>(NSObject.java:27)
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:195)
at com.Ostermiller.util.Browser.displayURL(Browser.java:217)
The first time a browser window needs to be launched, it works, but any subsequent call kills the program and results in the above error message.

I heard that Apple finally implemented the MRJ method to open the browser in a recent version of OS X. I suppose it would be best to try to detect that a recent version of OS X is running and call the supported method.

Problem opening PDF files with adobe

I cannot get adobe to open my pdf files. Not from internet nor from desktop.
I downloads fine,. I have installed and reinstalled several times.
If I try to open it looks like it opens but closes immediately. I tried to open adobe, but nothing. A grey screen and that's it. I cannot access the help button

Yes, I finally got it working using number 2:-) Thank you very much

I am having a problem opening my browser, the broswer is hanging up after slowly opening

Hello, I have been having trouble with my firefox browser for quite some time now, it just stopped working on me about 5 or 6 months ago. I have switched over to Internet Explorer which has still been working fine. I like using Firefox much more than Explorer these days, but I am unfortunately not good much with fixing computer problems and have pretty much extinguished all my available options for repairing it myself.
The problem with Firefox is now when I click on the shortcut link on my desktop, it takes a good 5 to 10 minutes to open up the browser now. Once it does finally open, you cannot type or click on anything it is hung up and will not allow you to go to another site(the home page will still load, with current news and other information)
I cannot remember anything that would have caused it to crash or get hung up like this, but like I said I am not a computer expert by any means. I do know that I am ready to get Mozilla back to running smoothly as before, I had just gotten really used to it(I had been using internet explorer).
I also uninstalled Firefox completely and reinstalled it, I figured if nothing else I tried worked that usually is the best option...it still did/does the same thing, hangs up everytime you try to run/open it.
I checked your online solution for what to do on a hanging first page, I saw something about pentium 4's running Windows Vista or XP...my computer runs Windows 7 (was actually purchased running the terribly bug ridden and error-prone Vista, and lucky I was able to obtain a free upgrade to 7). So I was thinking maybe that had something to do with it, I had some problem in the past, with what I cannot remember, but it traced back to something from when Vista was on my computer(even though it was no longer my operating system I'll be darn if it wasn't still causing me headaches! How fitting.)
My computer in question is a Dell Studio XPS 1640 which I bought new almost two years ago exactly)

Error when trying to open Mac file with Captivate 6 Win

I've tried opening Captivate 6 files (.cptx/.cptl) that were created on the Mac version with Captivate 6 on Win7. Got the error message "can't open file" telling me to check the file and my resources. Resources are ok, the file was sent via email.
How can I set up a workflow for Captivate 6 between Mac and PC users that works? The discussion to Win files crashing Captivate Mac didn't help as there's no solution posted. Are there any issues concerning the compatibility of Mac and Win files within Captivate 6?
Any help is very much appreciated a we've got a deadline looming.
Regards,
Susanne

Same problem here. Something to do with path to

Even though I have correct path I still can't get it to work
on CMS site, even though it works OK on static site:
www.askew.co.nz (SWF is a red ellipse with mirrored "S")
The problem page (CMS site) is here:

I will try to be clear:
I want to open a file with the class choose and I want also in the same class to load an image with the command ImageIo.read()., to resize it and then to add this image as an icon into the Jpanel.
I don't know why I receive the error in the final part ( LINE 223 and 224 are shown below) of the class choose:
buttonPanel.add(label, BorderLayout.EAST); ---->ERROR !!!!
contentPane.add(label);-------------------------------->ERROR!!!!!
maybe the image is not fully loaded..
I think that davedes has understood my problem but the modify that he proposed doesn't work---> The same error.
The class choose is :

Flash movie opens in browser with a white background

I have created a simple movie and placed it in an 'Under Construction' page. The whole page is meant to be black. When I open the browser a white box shows, where the movie will appear, while it is loading. I want the whole page to appear black. Can I do something about this?
I did set the stage colour to black. If you can tell me without my having to get into the source and use coding, it would be much appreciated; I'm new at all this and the idea of coding scares the beegeebees out of me!
If it helps, the web address is; http://dennislewdesign.com.au/
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

If you specify a bgcolor parameter in the Flash embedding code that might solve the problem. I don't see one currently defined. I am not sure that will solve it, but it cannot hurt to try. Normally, if you let Flash generate the html page code, it will include the background color parameter in the embedding code.

After Yosemite, numerous problems on Mac Mini with Custom Fusion Drive

I have installed OS X Yosemite on a Mac Mini with a "homemade" fusion drive. The update seems to have completed, although the following problems are evident:
Missing menu items from the menu bar, including the apple menu, notifications, time machine and others
Menu bar items return after booting non-apple software (MS Office, for instance), but disappear again once apple apps are running (App Store). You can mouse over these menus, even though their respective icons are not there, and access the content within the menus.
iTunes crashes upon launch; app store launches, but no content loads. Additionally, the app store menu item under the missing apple menu location, shows 4 software updates are available, but cannot load the app store content in order to access the updates.
Safari loads, but enters a continuous loop of "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded." Then, a application quit notification window appears, stating "Safari Web Content quit unexpectedly."
Lots of spinning beachball now that was not happening prior to update.
I've tried resetting the machine numerous times. Nothing seems to fix the problem(s)
The machine seems to recognize the fusion drive in system report, and all files are accessible in finder, so I don't think the fusion drive is the issue.
Any suggestions, pointers, fixes?

Problem opening PDF files with Preview

Occasionally I get this message when trying to open a PDF file in an email attachment:
"it may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognise"
However, when I open the same attachment on my iPad, using GoodReader it does open, so the file is not damaged.
The issue seems to be with Preview and started recently (after new Mac updates maybe).
I don't want to post the PDF file here since it's company property.
Any suggestions ?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

PDFs will not open in Browser with Adobe Reader 9

I am using Vista Ultimate x64 (SP1) using IE7. I am using the 32-bit version of the browser. I have selected "Display PDF in browser" on the Internet settings tab of the Adobe Reader 9.
Every time I select a PDF document, it forces me to save the document to the hard drive and open it from the hard drive. It will not open the PDF in the browser. How do I fix this problem??
The above procedure did work in Windows XP (32-bit), but does not appear to work in Vista (64-bit).

I have a similar problem using Adobe Reader 9 with Vista 64. I am also using the 32 bit version of IE7. Every time I click on a pdf to open in IE7 the screen remains white without starting Adobe Reader 9 in IE7 browser window.
Using Adobe Reader independantly works without any problem. Only the IE7 plugin does not seem to work. I reinstalled Adobe Reader 9 but without any effect. Adobe Reader 8 works. How comes?

Problem opening pdf's with one user

Hello,
We deployed adobe reader X on a terminal server 2008 with about 10 users, which login directly via an rdp session (no broker).
With one user, we have the problem that when she tries to open a pdf (either directly, in a browser, from outlook, whichever),
then the adobe reader program appears in the taskbar and then the program is gone. We tried the following things
- Kill the adobe reader process
- Repair adobe reader using the software install tool
- Downgrade to adobe reader 9.4.1 by uninstalling X and installing 9.4.1 (a version which is used extensively without problems at another customer)
- Delete the terminal server roaming profile and create a new one in active directory on the domain controller.
Other users have no problem with this and a testuser with the same rights (copy function in AD) does not have this issue.
Every time we apply one of the above solutions, it works for 15 minutes and then we are back to the original symptoms.
The adobe reader process seems to be still active after you close a document and after it stops working.
Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this permanently?

This is a problem (bug) with the built-in PDF Viewer (pdfjs) that currently doesn't handle this link properly.
*http://starkhealth.org/enviro/GRADE%20A%20FOOD%20EXCELLENCE%20AWARD.pdf
I've seen issues like this before, but can't find a bug about this issue.

Problems installing Inspiration Browser with PSE 10

I have PSE 9 and recently installed PSE 10 on my Windows Computer running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. When I try to access the Adobe photoshop Inspiration Browser from either the introductory window or the HELP drop down in the Organizer, I am told that the Inspiration Browser is not installed and would I like to install it. I download the file adobephotoshopdotcominspirationbrowser.air and when I click install, I get the following message in the Application Window. "Sorry an Error has occurred. The application could not be installed because an application with that name already exixts at the selected installation location. Try installing to a different location."
I have removed and reinstalled Adobe AIR and still get the same message. I have searched and cannot file the file that is supposed to be there.
I have downloaded the Inspiration Browser program to the desktop and can open it from there, but then get a message that the Inspiration Browser should be opened from Photoshop Elements or it won't work properly.That fact seems to be true.
I have experienced the same problem with PSE 9 and could never open the Inspiration Browser in that program either.
I would appreciate help if anyone can suggest a solution.
Thanks.

Are you resizing the photo before save for web?
What settings are you using in the save for web dialog for the jpeg quality?
If you compress the jpeg too much (low quality settings below 60), that can make your photos look bad.
And save for the web in pse 10 automatically strips any metadata in order to keep the file sizes smaller.
Also, the save for web in pse 10 has a bad habit of not remembering your last used settings, so it's good to verify that your actually set to jpeg instead of the default GIF setting.

Problems opening mac os generated psd files

Hello,
I have Photoshop Extended on my win7 x64 laptop, just updated to the 12.0.4 version.
I have a bug concerning opening a psd file generated on mac os
After this dialog, photoshop is totally frozen.
The supposed missing font is Helvetica, which in truth I have installed and running.
I tried to run the fontTest javascript, but there were no errors detected.
Does somebody have any idea on how to fix this?
Many thanks,
Silvia

Hello,
I found the cause of all the problems and frustrations with my ps extended: the font explorer plugin is buggy, so I just removed the folder form the plugin folder.
And now it works!
Sometimes less is more!

Spaces and Safari: problem opening new browser windows

I have just installed 10.5 and have turned on spaces. I have put safari into its own space. When I control click on a hyperlink and select 'open in new window' from the submenu the new window does not open. I can open a new tab but new windows do not appear. The windows don't appear in any other space either.
Is this a spaces/safari conflict or a safari problem?

Hi John,
I agree with Adam on the <cflocation> tag. I suspect it is a browser setting.
Like in FireFox
Tools/Options/Tabs
[X] Open new windows in a new tab
Like in IE,ver7
Tools/Internet Options/General Tab/Tab Section/Settings button
then bottom section "Open links from other programs in"
[X] A new tab in the current window
Try unchecking these boxes and then try your process again. Not
saying this will correct your issue, but does seem like a browser
issue to me as well and not <cflocation>

Problems opening Mac .fla files on a PC

Hi,
Sorry in advance not to have fully searched the forums; I'm stuck away from work using crappy Australian 3G wireless....
A work partner is using Flash CS3 on a Mac.
She sends me her .fla files for me to edit which I cannot open.
I'm using Flash CS4 on a PC.
Is there a simple way to fix this problem; it's driving us crazy and really slowing down development. I haven't had this problem before working between PC and Mac formats...
Many thanks in advance,
Mez

No special program should be needed. She can just right click on the item and Compress the file to a zip. I just tested it myself from home to work and it is fine. And you should just be able to Right click and extract all.
Since you are having problems with the zips my guess is that it has to do with how the files are getting sent.
You didn't answer my question about file sizes, but I'm guessing that they are way too small. The Mac tracks its files differently than Windows. So sometimes people get two files with the same names -- a small file that doesn't work and a larger one that is the correct file. Or perhaps just the smaller file. That is what I'm guessing is happening.
Make sure that the mac user has "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" selected. It is under the Edit menu I think. Or it can be selected on an attachment by attachment basis in the attaching dialog (assuming that she isn't just dragging and dropping it into the e-mail.)
If that isn't it the only other thing I can think of is that one or the other of you have some kind of accelerator software that is maybe messing up the attachments?
