Problems with icons in System Pref

Look at my system pref.
http://www.stickyspy.com/misc/controlp.jpg
The "Energy" icon has somehow changed. How do I can back the original icon?
Please help.

Spy,
Quit System Preferences if it's running and trash the following file:
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
Then launch System Preferences and hopefully the Energy Icon will return to normal appearance.

'A problem with the cooling system' error message on Satellite A660

Hi all,
Hope I can get some help here. I've had about 5 HP laptops after all of them had problems and faults. I got sick of them and therefore got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.
The A660 has been a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started getting a warning message saying 'A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immediately, and return it for service'.
The cpu fan works fine as you can here it spinning and the temperature of the i5-460m processor is around 40 degrees for both cores - which seems normal to me. I've noted that it happens only when running on battery and if you switch from eco utility to power saver mode. Its fine when running on the 'balanced' power setting. The fan is louder before when this message appears.
As its under 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new one straight away. Got the new one home, and the same message appears again. Has anyone else experienced this. As two laptops have had this, I'm wondering if this is normal for the A660 series laptop or if there is really a hardware issue?!
I have tried to upgrade eco utility and the bios of the laptop but both are the latest versions. Can anyone help or share if they experience a similar issue with their laptop?
Thanks

In front of me I have Satellite A660-13Q (PSAW3E) and I have it about 6 weeks now. It runs almost 10 hours daily and until now I didnt notice such message or anything else that can be suspect for hardware functionality.
I really dont know why this happen on your notebook and dont think there is anything you can do about it.
I would exchange it again. What you can also try is to contact nearest Toshiba service. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

A problem with the cooling system has been detected

I bought a new computer not to long ago, I've had it for almost a month now. It runs fine, and I've had no problems until not too long ago. I was playing a game, and I got a random error message: "A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immdiately, and return it for service." I don't understand how or why this came up, and I don't have any money to return it for any type of repairs. After I got this message, I left my computer off for about an hour. All seems well so far. Any suggestions?

What laptop do you have?

Problem with the EFI system partition's file system.

I installed latest yosemite 10.10.2 update - did a verify disk on “WDC WD1001FALS-403AA0 Media” (internal HD on my iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and got
Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
Error: The partition map needs to be repaired because there’s a problem with the EFI system partition’s file system.
However a verify disk on the volume partition gets a clean bill of health!
I haven't done a 'repair disk' yet. Thought I'd check if anybody else has same message first.
Cheers

I had issues where my MacPro 8-core would not boot after the 10.7.4 upgrade, but my MacBook Air 13" 2011 upgrade worked just fine.
I had to restore my MacPro HD from my TimeMachine back up. Apparently, the Softraid raid drivers that I use on my MacPro are not compatible yet with 10.7.4. See here for more info:
http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2012/20120511_1-MacOSX-SoftRAID.html
I contacted Softraid and they are already aware of the issues and are working with Apple for a fix.
Cheers.

MacBookPro SSD Error- ALERT: The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system.

MacBook Pro OS x Mavericks. I have Sandisk 256GB SSD and I am getting a below error message.
ALERT: The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system.
Does anyone know how to resolve this error and fix it ? unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup. Thanks!

Have you tried to run the verify/repair permissions and verify/repair disk through the recovery disk? If that didn't work then I would reinstall the OS after backing up. If that still doesn't work I would take it in.

Problem with transforming coordinate systems

Hiho,
i've got a problem with transforming coordinate systems.
When I'm trying to transform a sdo_geometry object to another coordinate sytem and then back to the old system, the coordinates are not the same.
Here's an example:
StartSystem SRID is 8220 (Longitude / Latitude (DHDN))
TargetSystem SRID is 8307 (Longitude / Latitude (WGS84))
Original object:
Polygon: {ExteriorRing: LineString: { (0.0, -90.0) (1.5, 0.0) (0.0, 90.0) (4.5, 0.0) (0.0, -90.0)} }
Transformed object:
Polygon: {ExteriorRing: LineString: { (0.0, -5156.620156177403) (85.94366926962347, 0.0) (0.0, 5156.620156177403) (257.8310078088704, 0.0) (0.0, -5156.620156177403)} }
Transformed back to old system:
Polygon: {ExteriorRing: LineString: { (0.0, -5156.620156177403) (4924.209525017614, 0.0) (0.0, 5156.620156177403) (14772.628575052844, 0.0) (0.0, -5156.620156177403)} }
Any ideas what to do?
Thanks for the help in advance.
Dirk

Hi Dirk
Since the transform you are trying to do is just a datum conversion of lat./long. coordinates, even the first transform yields obvious rubbish. What you have provided here does not illustrate how you submitted your polygon to CS_TRANSFORM.
Provide the syntax of your construction of the corresponding SDO_GEOMETRY object and your SQL select statement that gave these results.

I have done the following:
Created a File System Repository

Satellite P500-12D - A problem with the cooling system has been detected

hi there everyone,
I have bought a Satellite P500-12D which was a retail return. When I start it up it runs a couple of mins and then this comes up on the screen:
Warning: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. please turn off the computer immediately and return it for service.
In the toshiba health monitor the cpu is under 50% temp and if it goes much above that the cooling fan comes on and lowers it back down and the fan stops again, I have noticed that only the r/h fan runs to cool the cpu, should both them come on together? Could it be a software problem?
Tthe unit is new without even the plastic off the screen surround or webcam. Any help or even point me in the right direction would be very appreciated, gary

The fact that the pc is a retail return would indicate that there was a fault at day one and the customer returned it. At some point the retailer turned it on and since it appeared to work re-sold it.
This is the cooling/fan report from a P500 produced by pc wizard 2010 - free from cpuid.com. Perhaps a comparison against the faulty laptop will point to the problem

Icon in system prefs not displaying correctly

In the system prefs pane, the speech icon is being dispayed as a box with a light switch and the text cut off. Any ideas on how to get this back to the original microphone. Thanks.

chris,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
According to MarkDouma®:
Quit System Preferences if it's running and trash the following file:
/Users/~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
Then launch System Preferences and hopefully the icons should appear properly.

Wierd 'software update' display icon in system prefs..

Ok just noticed this last night but in the system prefs window my software update icon has changed and looks very wierd, almost like a lightswitch, infact id say ist like its displaying a different area of the prefs window.. its hard to explain but its not the symbol usually used and the text is cut off so it just says 'software'
whats happened? is there a fix?

Hi, James.
To solve the corrupted preference pane icon problem:1. Quit System Preferences if it is open.
2. Open your Home > Library > Caches folder, then trash the following two files therein:
• com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
• com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindexcache
3. Empty Trash.
4. Launch System Preferences and see if the problem is resolved.Good luck!

Problem with icons in the application bar (Photoshop CS4)

My computer's OS is WinXP Pro SP3.
I just now noticed a problem with all icons in the application bar in PS CS4 (v. 11.0.1).
When I bring mouse over icons (except for zoom level icon), all icons turn into blank (white) boxes.
For "Arrange Documents" bar, when I click on its blank icon, the top two columns are empty but show the the rest of three columns.
Please advise me how to fix this problem. I hope to avoid uninstalling -reinstallinlg. Thanks.

ATI no longer supports your card so I don't think you will see any updated drivers from them to correct your problem. You might want to look into investing in a newer card.

Problem with Java after System Upgrade to 10.5.7

Hi,
I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)
2009-05-20 13:12:10 +0200: Installed "Remote Desktop Client Update" (3.2.2)
2009-05-20 13:12:26 +0200: Installed "Java For Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2" (1.0)
2009-05-20 13:58:36 +0200: Installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 3" (1.0)
2009-05-20 13:58:44 +0200: Installed "AirPort Utility Software Update 2009-001" (5.4.1)
2009-05-20 13:59:07 +0200: Installed "QuickTime" (7.6)
2009-05-20 13:59:22 +0200: Installed "iPhoto Update" (7.1.5)
2009-05-20 13:59:28 +0200: Installed "iLife Support" (9.0.2)
2009-05-20 13:59:38 +0200: Installed "iDVD Update" (7.0.3)
2009-05-20 13:59:58 +0200: Installed "iTunes" (8.1.1)
But now, simply running $ java on the prompt hangs, i.e. it takes no action.
$ which java
/usr/bin/java
$ ls -ltr /usr/bin/java
May 20 15:09 /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
$java (no response)
Here is the output of $ top
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE
703 java 98.8% 0:38.54 3 110 72 480K 184K 1964K 40M
Any clues?

Hi man,
In the wake of this java problem I resorted to keep working on my old machine, and today in my spare time I tried to fix this new machine.
So I execute $java on prompt, and then try to check the files it has opened, using lsof -p pid
I see it referring to
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
isn't this usually the JAVA_HOME
However, executing $/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
hangs!!
but
$/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java
works!!
$ pwd
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin
$ ./java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06-153)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_07-b06-57, mixed mode)
So, I changed the links as follows

Linking my Current and CurrentJDK to 1.6 and it works!
However, shall that be the reason!
what is in your /Versions/Current/
I got the following
$ ls /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current
CodeResources Frameworks JavaVM
Commands Headers Resources
There is no /Home in here, which is usually the case for /1.5 or /1.6
Anyways, things seems to work for the moment. Lets see if I get problem with using Java.
thanks

Has anyone else had problems with the latest system updates to Mac OS X v10.6.8 with the java virus patch?

After installing the latest updates to Snow Leopard the system hangs up and will not open properly. This is the update to Java, etc after the virus was discovered. I have done the updates on four different systems with the same result.

No problems with the Java update here, although I have Java disabled. Might try reapplying the Java standalone while in Safe Boot (Shift at startup chime), if you did it from Software Update.

Problem With mac Operating system

ok, had a problem with a piece of software and was told to try and "downgrade" my OS. so i started an installer that was an installer to a previous system. i was on 4.8 and was trying to go to 3.4 i think. I got half way thru and it said start the installer again. restarted. instead of the apple logo coming up a round cross comes up. i connected to my comp thru another comp using the firewire but my user folder is empty. anyways i can find anything in the users folder and fix this problem? cheers

Who told you to downgrade your OS X version and was this due to the software not being compatible with your OS X version which was 10.4.8?
What software?
Your computer detail provided indicates you have an Intel Mac and if so, you certainly cannot downgrade to 10.3 - any 10.3.x version. All Intel Macs have shipped with Tiger (10.4.x) pre-installed and there are no OS X versions prior to 10.4.x that is compatible with an Intel Mac and even if so, you cannot install an earlier or previous OS X version on a Mac that shipped with a later version.
Unless you meant 10.4.3 which is the version that was pre-installed on your Intel Mac and the version included with the OS X install package that shipped with your Mac when new.
Did this person who told you to downgrade your OS also tell you to be sure to create a backup or update your existing backup before doing so?
Did you choose Archive & Install with an option to preserve user and network settings?
If not and you choose Erase & Install, then your hard drive was completely erased first.
