Problems with "Undo"

Wow - I've never seen anything like this happen with a piece of software. Updated to 1.4.1 Windows. Working on a batch of photos. While adjusting the color of one photo (church with a combination of natural, incandescent and flourescent light - ouch!), I got to the point where I wanted to undo the changes that I made to the image. I clicked on the Edit, then "Undo Orange Hue Shift". After clicking this, Lightroom proceeded to undo everything that I had done during the session, then import 17 photos from a previous session into the current catalog! Really bizarre. Needless to say, I'm back to square-one after a two hour editing session, and a bit gun-shy about clicking on the undo button again.
Is this an 'undocumented feature' in this version of Lightroom, or did the bugs just decide to bite me today? BTW - No Virus's or Spyware, plenty of memory (2 gig) and drive space (300 gig). Intel Pentium IV 2.8 gHz processor, with hyperthreading. Catalog file was backed up and tested before session started.

I'm now running version 1.4.1 and have experienced this "multiple undo" bug for multiple versions.  I sent Adobe Support a message about this several months ago but got no response.  Maybe they sometimes monitor this forum . . . <br /><br />It seems that whatever triggers the bug undoes all my edits going back to the last image which I had deleted from my catalog - either/both 'deleted from disk', or just 'removed from the catalog.'  <br /><br />I experienced this bug today, and was dismayed to watch it rapidly undoing maybe 50 edits across multiple images.  Shortly afterwards, as I scrambled to repair the damage, I got an error message:<br /><br />---------------------------<br />Lightroom<br />---------------------------<br />Database "D:\<snip>...Lightroom1.lrcat": unable to open database file<br />  Statement: SELECT id_local FROM Adobe_images WHERE masterImage = ?<br /><br />and was unable to access the Develop controls for several images.  This message appeared every time I clicked the File menu, but Alt+F4 eventually succeeded in closing Lightroom; it seems OK once restarted.

  • Problem with Undo manager using highlighting

    Hello,
    I am writing a little text editor with syntax highlighting, but I have a problem with the UndoManager.
    Everytime I undo an action the UndoManager removes just the attributes of the text, not the text itself.
    Does anybody know a way how to make the UndoManager not recognizing the attributes.
    Thanks in advance.

    In your UndoableEditListener, you can check the type of the edit, and ignore it if it's an attribute change:
        public void undoableEditHappened(UndoableEditEvent e) {
            UndoableEdit edit = e.getEdit();
            if (edit instanceof DefaultDocumentEvent &&
                ((DefaultDocumentEvent)edit).getType() ==
                    DefaultDocumentEvent.EventType.CHANGE) {
                return;
            undoMgr.addEdit(edit);
        }

  • Problem with undo/redo actions in a StyledDocument

    Hello,
    In my app i have a text area where each user can keep some notes.The document is serialized and saved in the database for later access as StyledDocument, in order to be saved with the formating the user has chosen(for example with certain fonts,text color and size).
    What i want to do now is to give to the user the ability to undo/redo his actions. I have these methods implemented and everything worked fine when i was saving and loading simple text in my JTextPane (previously i was saving in the database what user typed as a simple string which meant that the formatting was lost). Now, after loading styled document (using the textPane.setStyledDocument(doc) code line) these actions do not work.
    Are there any suggestions on how i can make this work? Is it possible?
    I hope i made my problem clear enough
    Thanks in advance

    Seem like I found the answer to my issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/whats-new-2014.html#Undo/Redo enhancements
    Undo/Redo enhancements
    All undo/redo actions are recorded at the HTML file-level. This means, any manual changes to a CSS file can be undone from ANY related file.
    Someone called it Undo/Redo enhancements!? Damn this is the most stupid thing one can imagine about undo/redo! How the heck editing one source file affects the other!? Do whatever you want in Designer mode, but I'm editing SOURCE CODE and need to be able to undo/redo my actions on a file level.
    With this change TextEdit or Notepad becomes a more suitable tool for editing HTML/CSS than Dreamweaver.

  • Jdeveloper - Problem with undo/redo

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem while using the Undo/Redo option in jdeveloper. When i press the CTRL+Z(undo) option for a lengthy changes, the CTRL+Y(redo) option is not working properly.
    - Shankar S

    In my experience of JDev, The correct keyboard shortcut for redo is Shift + Ctrl + Z .
    Ctrl + Y deletes the current line.
    I don't know if that can be changed.

  • Problem with UNDO tablespace

    Hi guys.
    Our database has 50GB of undo tablespace. I decided to create a second undo tablespace and switch to the new one. Since doing that yesterday, the size of the old undo is 49GB (was thinking that the values will drop to zero) and the new tablespace keeps increasing in size! Its size now is about 20GB. I do have the following question.
    a) If I restart the database, it the value of the old undo going to fall to zero?
    b) undo_retention=86400. Setting this value to a lesser value say 800seconds, it is going to act the performance of the database? Is it going to release the space on the old undo?
    Thanks and any help is appreciated.
    David

    The undo tablespace will not automatically shrink size, since you have a new undo tablespace in place. You can drop the old one if you don't plan to use it.
    Set lower undo_retention will certainly help to contain the undo space usage. However you should query v$undostat and v$rollstat to estimate the amount of undo space required for the current workload then size the undo tablespace accordingly. Turn off the auto extend on undo tablespace.

  • Hello, I have a big problem with Firefox: Session Manager & Undo Closed Tab addons are not working, Sync Is not working. History is working. How to fix this?

    Firefox remembers history but doesn't remember closed tabs, sessions.
    It happened after updating Fox to v. 19.0.2 on one computer.
    In Firefox Options is set Use Custom Settings For History, everything is checked except Always Use Private Browsing Mode. So I am not in private browsing.
    When I press on Undo Closed Button nothing happens & in session manager Save Session Button is greyed out. I've tried installing other add-ons that can remember tabs. tried to disable/reinstall these 2 add-ons. Did't help. On my 2nd computer I have same add-ons, same settings and they are working normally. on 3rd computer undo closed tabs works also. How to fix this? I decided to ask before doing Firefox Reset...
    Sync is a separate problem. It works, but quite often it logs me out of Sync account. Then I can log in only using long recovery key and password (choosing option I don't have device with me because it does not accept keys for pairing device.)
    Thanks for reading.

    I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
    for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
    It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
    Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
    so I changed 4 settings in about.config
    browser.tabs.warn on close true
    browser.warn on quit true
    browser.warn on restart true
    browser.show.quit warning true
    but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
    So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

  • The Problems With Logic (as I see them) - PART TWO!

    Hello again,
    It seems to be a tradition now that as I compose on a track, I keep a text editor open so that I can jot down all the annoyances and problems that I encounter during my creative process... Anyone who missed the previous edition of this topic, please visit PART ONE, here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3605456#3605456
    That said, here I give you "The Problems With Logic Part II":
    1. Logic should clear the playback buffer everytime you play. Quite often you start playing and there is trailing reverb/note events from various audio instruments and plug-ins.
    2. The sample edtor "save selection as" has no memory of where you previously were in the file browser.
    3. If you double click on a wave form, the sample editor opens up with the wave form you double clicked on... Great.. But now, if you go and double click on another wave form somewhere, it just takes you back to the sample editor with the same previous wave form selected (not great). This is incredibly annoying if you are attempting to save out certain edits-- Quite often you will end up saving 5 or 6 of the same exact waveform, thinking you were saving each individual one. GRR!
    4. Key commands.. if you try to assign a key command to something that is already used by another feature, you are presented with a window warning you that it already exists.. If you click cancel, then you can no longer enter any keys in the key field.. You are forced to close the key commands preferences window and start over.
    5. Key command window: You should be able to search by command.. For example, if I want to find out what "o" is assigned to, I should be able to search by O-- Further, you should be able to sort the key commands by clicking the column titles "key", "command" -- or "midi"... After all, we can sort by name, date, size, etc in the finder by clicking on these column titles.
    6. Tempo Tap feature-- I am quite confused by this. There should be a simple way to tap and define a tempo. When ever i try to do this, the tempo is only temporarily changed until I stop playing, and most of the time I get error alerts about trying to sync audio and midi (mind you, when there are absolutely no parts in the entire arrange window). The manual states that with "tempo recording" checked on the tempo interpreter window, that the taps will record tempo changes, but this does not work. I tried doing this, tapping the key command I defined to tempo tap (ctrl-shift-t), and I was tapping at various speeds-- many taps fast.. and Logic recorded tempos of 99-101bpm.. I was tapping atleast around 175-180bpm. I then tried tapping slowing, and Logic recorded tempos of 99-101 again... so this feature obviously is full of bugs.
    7. When loading songs, as soon as various plugins such as Kontakt, exs24 begin loading samples, it brings logic to the front. If you're working in the background in other applications while waiting for your songs to load, you are rudely interrupted from what you're doing (such as, selecting from a menu, typing a document, etc) only to be forced to watch a status bar fill up.. and then all key presses at that point become error beeps.
    8. Logic's sample memory easily becomes messed up and crazy. Quite often when using AU instruments such as BFD, Culture, and even Synthogy's Ivory. I will switch to that particular track to play on my keyboard, and each sample will be full of horrible pops and clicks-- the kind that destroy speakers. Other times, in a sample of a string for instance, all of a sudden after one second will be a pop and then the sample will be playing at a completely different pitch... I have to remove the AU instrument and reload it at this point.. This happens quite often. Logic should offer a 'buffer reset' so that you can just flash plugins but they reload whatever preset they were set to.
    9. Volume faders resolution are lame! There is no reason why you shouldnt be able to access +1.0, +1.1, +1.2, +1.3, +1.4, +1.5, +1.6, +1.7, +1.8, +1.9... Further the display is only so wide and you can't even read the decimal values for numbers -10 and lower. They just appear as 10.
    10. When a movie is open, and you are viewing the video output via FIREWIRE, there is a mini-floating window which contains the smpte, position, and movie start information-- However you cannot modify any of these values. You have to switch video output back to "WINDOW" to change the start position of the movie. This is obviously a bug.
    11. Changing the movie's start time is very user unfriendly. There should be a simple way to specify to start at a moment of time relative to SMPTE-- So you can just say "+9:15" for example, and it would take you in 9 minutes and 15 seconds, rather than how it is now where you have to think backwards from SMPTE code and subtract.
    12. You cannot view video as a window AND output to firewire. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do this. For example, if I wanted to output my video to a monitor in a vocal booth-- I can do this.. but I can't see what the vocalist is seeing on my own screen! This is just nonsense. You should be able to output to the screen (desktop mode or floating window) as well as an external firewire device.
    13. Saving a song with a movie open should mean that when you load that song, the movie should be up and exactly as it was prior to saving. As it is now you have to select "open movie again".
    14. There is still definitely a bug in track automation-- this was really bad back in version 4, but there is still something not quite right here where starting playback will not always guarantee that the automation data is being read.. And in my experiences it results in volumes being incorrect until you stop and play again, and in some cases it will not work at all unless you plot some automation points. This is an intermittent issue-- but quite often activated by placing an audio region from the audio window on a track (SEE VIDEO).

    15. In the arrange window, sometimes when zoomed in tightly, all parts on a track are selected, and you think that only the part that you are looking at is selected.. you move this part, and now all of your parts are off. Logic should have some kind of visual aid to let you know when ever you are moving multiple selections... Something like, the parts you are moving will highlight a dfferent color or something... This is a similar problem I have with the loop area of the screen.. You can accidentally turn it on when in the matrix window, and have no idea unless you look down at the transport, but with me for example, my transport is at the very bottom of the screen and I am not looking there most of the time.
    16. Automation data, when two points are semi-close to each other, suddenly the value of the data is no longer shown.. I can understand that when you are zoomed out, and there is simply no space for this to visually appear, that's appropriate. But as it is now, it doesn't display this information when there is plenty of space for it to be visible.
    17. Logic should let you set audio track inputs to the various outputs (1-2, 3-4, etc) and buses.
    18. clicking on a track selects ALL parts. This is so so so annoying. How many times have I been editing voice over, and selecting a track, thinking I am shrinking the length of a part, and to find that ALL parts have been shrunk.. SO ANNOYING!!!! This needs to not happen, and there should be a simple way to right-click a track and it will have an option "select all regions"... also, when you click on a track and all parts are selected, if you horizontally zoom, logic zooms into the beginning of the track, rather than the song locator. I don't know what the LOGIC behind this is, but it's not very helpful, it actually is very frustrating.. Zooming should always move towards the song locator position.
    19. EXS 24 should have a "reverse/backwards" button so that samples played are backwards.
    20. Logic should offer a way to globally increase or decrease a specific automation type (especially volume) globally for all tracks... So if you have detailed crescendos that start at -3.8 and end at +1.6, you can add 3db to this and it will now be at 0.8 and end at 4.6.
    21. If you have multiple tracks of the same track (such as three Audio track #1's)-- say you are recording guitar parts, and just copying the track and muting the previous track as a method of maintaining multiple takes for later auditioning. If you draw automation volume data on this track (it appears on all 3 tracks), and then if you delete the audio from one of the muted tracks and tell logic to KEEP it, suddenly all automation data is gone. GRR!!!
    22. Several times I have opened Kontakt, and attempted to load an instrument while outputting a movie via firewire video to my monitor. As soon as I try to load the instrument, the firewire video output on my monitor goes crazy, and then comes back on.. Logic then crashes. This has happened 3 times randomly...
    23. UNDO does not work on every function. for example, if you change an output to bus 1 instead of 1-2, you cannot undo this. Undo should undo whatever the last command was, no matter what it was. This is what the word LOGICal is supposed to represent.
    24. Floating windows (as in plugin windows) should close with apple-w!!!
    25. *BUG* If you are in a part that is say 10 measures long, zoom in horizontally 100% in the matrix window-- You then isolate one specific quarter note pitch in the middle of this measure, and have cycle turned on, looping over this one quarter note, if you are not looking at this note event/loop region when you hit play, the display will jump to the beginning of the part and never show you this note event as it loops. However if you have the note event on screen when you hit play, then it will behave properly. This makes it extremely difficult and frustrating to perform detailed hyper-draw work. (SEE VIDEO)
    WATCH VIDEO OF THIS BUG:
    http://collinatorstudios.com/www/logicbugs/logicloopbug.mov
    26. *BUG* Host Automation is not accurate. I assigned Kontakt's tune knob to C#000, and If I place a dip, the knob begins to move way before the automation data is even present.... So basically what I was trying to do, can't even be accomplished because Logic screws everything up by pitching the instrument too early... Such a shame.. By the way, I previously mentioned the importance of being able to display part data in the arrange window as matrix data (horizontal lines) rather than score data. Someone argued what good this would do-- Well this is a perfect example, if I am attempting to affect a particular section of a note with automation, I can't possible visually see where this is because the length is not described by the current score representation. Having a horizontal representation would solve this problem... (SEE VIDEO)

    27. There should be a way to convert stereo samples to mono in the sample editor.
    28. When you view "as text" in the environmentt, you cannot drag an object to the arrange window-- Such as to create a bus track.. Now mind you I don't know why you can't just select "BUS" when editing a track in the arrange window in the first place, however there is no reason why 'view as text' should behave differently than when it's viewed as icons.
    29. When you drag a bus from the environment to the arrange window, it replaces whatever track was there. It should ADD a track instead of replace-- atleast there should be a preference for how this behaves.
    30. Occasionally when dragging a bus from the environment, there is some visual garbage in the track automation (see screenshot).
    31. There should be a way to LOAD and SAVE selections in the arrange window. Quite often when editing audio from a countless number of parts/regions, it becomes painful when you have to select and move 100s of audio files. There should be a way that you can just select a ton of regions and save that selection, and reload it at anytime. There are a few 'select' tools/options under the edit window, however they are song specific-- not track specific. So they are completely usesless for what I need.
    32. Logic should offer a feature to collect sysex data from midi devices so that patch names show up and can be selected via program change.
    33. When no track or part is selected, and you vertically zoom in, Logic should zoom into the center most track.. It behaves very oddly and zooms in more towards the top. This becomes extremely annoying when dealing with a sequence involving 100 tracks, and a part is selected but you scroll far below where the part is.. When you begin to zoom in, it takes you towards the selected part, yet it's not displayed on the screen and you have no reference for what you are even looking at. The rule should be this: If the part is on the screen, zooming vertically will bring you to it. If it's off the screen, you will zoom into the center track of whatever is currently on the screen.
    34. I mentioned this in a thread earlier... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=752485&tstart=0
    There is a bug when using the transform tool involving the 'position' variable. In my example, I was attempting to reverse the time placement of three chords, that occured in a part somewhere in the middle of my song. By selecting the measure start and end of this part, Logic was unable to select or operate with the transform tool (and I tried a variety of transform options). If I moved this part to the beginning of the song, then the transform tool would suddenly work. After some research, I found online someone had said "Position Time position of the event, referenced to the start of the MIDI Region (not of the song)."--- But if I still doubt this is true, because I then placed the part on a new track with no other data, and placed it in the middle of the sequence and in the transform tool under position I selected '1 1 1 1' to '5 5 5 5' as well i tried setting the position to 'all', and none of this worked. This obviously is a bug... If it's not then it's a very serious design flaw. The position should relate to measure numbers of a song, and nothing else.

    That is all for now...
    For those who firmly agree with me and all of the points that I have brought up now and in the past, I encourage you to contact Peggie Louie, (the Logic HR department contact) at (408) 996-1010 and suggest that she hire me as a consultant to help eliminate Logic's many annoyances. I have tried to pursue this heavily in the past, but sadly I was completely ignored by her on all levels. Maybe you all can help make a difference?

    11. Changing the movie's start time is very user
    unfriendly. There should be a simple way to specify
    to start at a moment of time relative to SMPTE-- So
    you can just say "+9:15" for example, and it would
    take you in 9 minutes and 15 seconds, rather than how
    it is now where you have to think backwards from
    SMPTE code and subtract.
    For this one I'd suggest getting SMPTE calculator. Entering timecode numbers and having to add and subtract is not so difficult, and AFAIC part of a composer's gig. But what I would add, instead, is that it would be fantastic if Logic provided a timecode calculator (edit: even if it was in the form of a custom Logic widget).
    13. Saving a song with a movie open should mean that
    when you load that song, the movie should be up and
    exactly as it was prior to saving. As it is now you
    have to select "open movie again".
    This doesn't always happen. I've struggled with this for a long time, and I don't know why sometimes the movie will load and not other times. I would also add here that Logic should show the file pathname to the movie. Somewhere...
    18. clicking on a track selects ALL parts. This is
    so so so annoying.
    You can prevent this from happening if you have cycle turned on and set to a set of locators that "contain" the parts you might want to select en masse. I always work with cycle=on so this is not a problem.
    21. If you have multiple tracks of the same track
    (such as three Audio track #1's)-- say you are
    recording guitar parts, and just copying the track
    and muting the previous track as a method of
    maintaining multiple takes for later auditioning. If
    you draw automation volume data on this track (it
    appears on all 3 tracks), and then if you delete the
    audio from one of the muted tracks and tell logic to
    KEEP it, suddenly all automation data is gone.
    GRR!!!
    Never had that happen. In my experience, telling Logic to keep the data always works.
    23. UNDO does not work on every function. for
    example, if you change an output to bus 1 instead of
    1-2, you cannot undo this. Undo should undo whatever
    the last command was, no matter what it was. This is
    what the word LOGICal is supposed to represent.
    Undo in Logic is highly problematic for other reasons. Here, I think there should be a specific Environment Undo, just like there's a separate undo for audio edits.
    29. When you drag a bus from the environment to the
    arrange window, it replaces whatever track was there.
    It should ADD a track instead of replace-- atleast
    there should be a preference for how this behaves.
    Right. This is a matter of personal preference. But still there are other ways to get an object assigned to a track. The "thru tool", for instance. No dragging required.
    32. Logic should offer a feature to collect sysex
    data from midi devices so that patch names show up
    and can be selected via program change.
    My guess: considering how much sheer time it takes to write this kind of software, let alone debug it with every conceivable device, it's not likely this is going to happen.
    That is all for now...
    For those who firmly agree with me and all of the
    points that I have brought up now and in the past, I
    encourage you to contact Peggie Louie, (the Logic HR
    department contact) at (408) 996-1010 and suggest
    that she hire me as a consultant to help eliminate
    Logic's many annoyances. I have tried to pursue this
    heavily in the past, but sadly I was completely
    ignored by her on all levels. Maybe you all can help
    make a difference?
    Wait in line buddy!
    (LOL)
    I must say, I'm very impressed with your list and attention to detail. And I feel your pain, trust me. But many of the things you've listed are feature requests and not bugs. And some of the behaviors you've described I have yet to run across. So this is typical with Logic, that it can be operated in so many diverse ways that no two people run it in the same way, nor would two people conceive the program's capabilities in the same way. But I digress...
    I also think there's a certain amount of Logic convention that I don't think you've adopted yet, hence your wish for behaviors that don't yet exist.
    I don't disagree with most of your feature requests, and I'm (quite unfortunately) able to say that I'm familiar with most of these bugs and about 9 dozen more. But again, it's important to distinguish between bug, feature request, time to RTFM, and errant behavior that's experienced by a very limited number of users.
    There's no doubt that this program has its problems. In particular, your #1 re the playback buffer. And I'm glad you've brought many of the bugs into the light for people to read. Good work.

  • Problem with Finder and Menu Fonts (uppercase A)

    Hello --
    I'm having a problem with fonts. All the characters that appear under icons in the Finder or in the menu for any application appear as uppercase As with boxes around them. There appears to be one uppercase A for each character that should be there. If I click-pause-click to edit the filename in the Finder, the text appears normal during the duration of the change, and then reverts to uppercase A with a box around it again. All other operation of the computer is normal.
    I was watching and downloading video files in iTunes when the problem appeared. When I pressed ESC to exit full-screen mode, the Finder said that my start-up disk was almost full, and I saw the font problem. Upon investigating, I discovered that my start-up disk was completely full (and the download had failed), so the first thing I did was move some video files to an external drive, which freed about 5 GB.
    Since freeing the space, I've tried the following to fix it, in this order:
    1. booted from Tiger CD to run Repair Disk from Disk Utility
    2. rebooted from the boot hard drive to run Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility
    3. run through Disk Warrior
    4. created a test admin user and logged in as that user
    5. removed font cache files using terminal
    6. booted in safe mode, logged in as myself, and then rebooted normally
    None of these actions has had any effect. The computer is still operating normally, except for the characters that don't display correctly.
    I'm running 10.4.6 on a Titanium Powerbook 500 MHz with 512MB RAM. A few months ago, I replaced the internal hard drive with an 80GB Seagate.

    Hi again, zoobieboots —
    I appreciate your initiating a new thread. Your post here helps to make the situation much clearer than in bmewolf's thread — particularly in terms of what you've already tried. Thanks again.
    A few initial thoughts —
        (a) As I was trying to suggest previously, you're apparently operating (after moving some files to an external drive) with ~6-10% (?) free disk space. Particularly given that you were working with large video files when this appeared, File fragmentation would be expected. While I haven't heard of this particular symptom resulting from fragmentation, that would be a concern to me — particularly since this immediately preceded the problematic behavior.
    I've read some good reports about iDefrag, but haven't used it myself. A demo version is apparently available for HDs < 100GB. But you'd presumably need to free significantly more space first (you haven't actually said whether 5GB or ?? is the total available now). Having never experienced severe fragmentation, I don't fully understand its consequences — but another participant may be able to explain this.
        <b>(b) You don't mention trying to troubleshoot potentially corrupt or incompatible fonts (or font caches), also as outlined in the other thread. As I suggested there, The X Lab's "undoing Font Book" FAQ is a useful resource in this.
        (c) Although I agree it may be an unsatisfying "solution," an Archive & Install did work for bmewolf in the case that you've indicated matches yours closely.
    I hope one of these suggestions is helpful. Please post back to discuss your progress.
    Regards,
    Dean

  • Multiple problems with Mountain Lion

    I purchased OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on August 23, 2012 and iPhoto '11 9.4.3 on August 22, 2012.  I have started having problems last month with freezes, various Apple software not working properly, and after the last update, I no longer can access my flash drives.  I recently posted about my problems with iPhoto not letting me look at individual photos and showing only the black screen with thumbnail strip on the bottom (followed the reply poster's advice, thank you, but without any luck). 
    Now I am having issues following the last 2 updates from Apple to my OS.
    - Spotlight will only look in the web (followed the steps provided by another discussion by going to system preferences, selecting all the files/areas to exclude using the "+" sign, then using the "-" to remove all the ones in privacy to force spotlight to reindex, no luck, still not working, even unchecking the webpages box in search results)
    - Extremely slow response of my iMac, for instance, looking in my Applications folder on my dock, it opens in stages with each stage getting bigger and bigger until it is open to its normal window size (hope that makes sense)
    - iTunes corrupted immediately after the lastest update when I tried to create a new folder for music resulting in a corrupted iPod and having to restore the iPod and reload the iTunes and all my songs from back up
    - iMac no longer recognizes any of my flash drives (the USB ports recognize my iPod, Seagate external, digital recorder, etc) but refuse to recognize my flash drives.  My flash drives work fine on all other computers both Mac and PC (have a 2 Memorex, 2 PNY, and 1 Scandisk brands).  I did what another poster suggested (I browsed to see what to try before posting here).  When I go to disk utilities, I am unable to "verify "the flash drive and not able to "mount" it
    The flash drive is grayed out as are the other steps.
    I am ready to uninstall Mountain Lion and go back to the OS that my computer came with in Jan 2010.  I have not had any issues with Mountain Lion until last month.  I am open to suggestions and ideas, not sure what happened in May (I did not load any new software, no brown outs, black outs, nothing done differently in May that I had not been doing all along). 
    Thanking you in advance

    Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
    1. I can only guess which of the modifications you've made to your system is causing the problem. The changes suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, refer to its developer for support.
    2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
    3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
    N/A
    and definitely remove at least the following:
    BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    CleanMyMac
    Eltima SyncMate
    Seagate Storage Driver
    † Sophos
    † Symantec AntiVirus
    4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
    You will generally have to reboot after uninstalling a system modification. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I haven't installed the product and I may not even know what it is.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
    5. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
    6. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
    Remove the Sophos product by following the instructions on this page.
    Remove the Norton/Symantec product by following the instructions on either of these pages:
    Uninstalling your Norton product for Mac
    Removing Symantec programs for Macintosh

  • Problems with photoshop elements 10 and windows 8

    I bought photoshop elements 10 for my wife last year for Christmas.  She decided not to install it on our old computer because we knew that we were planning to replace the computer this year.  We finally got around to replacing it and the new computer came with Windows 8.  She installed her photoshop on it and she is having problems with it.  I'm wondering if there is a compatability problem with the windows 8?  Is there an update for the pse 10 that will make it work with windows 8?

    PSE10 is said to be compactable with windows8. What kind of problem are you facing? Did you try launching after resetting preferences? to know more about reseting preferences, check http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/undo-redo-cancel-actions.html#restore_defa ult_preferences

  • I have a problem with oracle 10g express edition

    Hello,
    I have just installed oracle 10g express edition and I have a problem with the script editor. I can write anything in the window that appears below buttons undo,redo and find, It is like disabled. I use windows XP, Firefox 2.0 ( I have also tried with Iexplorer and It does not work either). I have javascript enabled.
    anyone knows what is the problem?
    Later,I have installed it in a virtual machine of Windows 2003 Server and It works well but I`d rather use it in my Microsoft XP
    Thank you very much
    Fernando Martínez

    It looks like you can fix this if you replace the codearea.xbl.xml and codearea.iframe.html files in the
    /i/editor folder with files from an Apex 2.2.1 installation - such as the one on apex.oracle.com.
    Since I don't know what the licensing implications are, I will let you figure out the details.

  • Problems with Greek accented characters

    After the update to AIR 2.0.2 I cannot input into any application greek with accented characters.
    Tried TweetDeck and Twhirl and neither work (used to before the update)
    Is this a bug or it needs some configuration
    I am working on Fedora13 but heard the same problem reported on Ubuntu.
    Have not tried on MS Windows or MacOSX

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe AIR 2.0.3 on Windows machine. I wrote an app in Aptana Studio (build: 2.0.5.1278522500) with ExtJS library and I found the problem with polish national characters like ż and Ż (all the other national characters like ą, ę, ń are possible to input).
    In order to reproduce, here you have the sample code in ExtJS:
    http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/dev/examples/form/anchoring.html
    As you will see - it is possible to input ż and Ż in text fields.
    Now, use the same code to build AIR applicaton and then run the application. It is not possible to input those characters in Air window. Right Alt+z acts like undo operation - it removes last entered text. All the other characters work fine.
    Here is the code I used:
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>New Adobe AIR Project</title>
            <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/ext/resources/css/ext-all.css" />

               <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/ext/ext-all.js"></script>
            <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/ext/air/ext-air.js"></script>
            <script type="text/javascript">
            Ext.onReady(function(){
        var form = new Ext.form.FormPanel({
            baseCls: 'x-plain',
            labelWidth: 55,
            defaultType: 'textfield',
            items: [{
                fieldLabel: 'Send To',
                name: 'to',
                anchor:'100%'  // anchor width by percentage
                fieldLabel: 'Subject',
                name: 'subject',
                anchor: '100%'  // anchor width by percentage
                xtype: 'textarea',
                hideLabel: true,
                name: 'msg',
                anchor: '100% -53'  // anchor width by percentage and height by raw adjustment
        var window = new Ext.Window({
            title: 'Resize Me',
            width: 500,
            height:300,
            minWidth: 300,
            minHeight: 200,
            layout: 'fit',
            plain:true,
            bodyStyle:'padding:5px;',
            buttonAlign:'center',
            items: form,
            buttons: [{
                text: 'Send'
                text: 'Cancel'
        window.show();
            </script>
        </head>
        <body>
        </body>
    </html>
    Is it possible to input those characters or is there a workaround for this (disable undo operation or so) ?
    I really appreciate any help.
    Kind regards,
    Marcin.

  • Problem with Javadoc gen'in two instances of a sourcefile in the class list

    Hallo,
    I have a set of source files that I'm gen'ing with the ant task javadoc.

    The first two gen properly with only one of each class showing up in the class list. Then, starting with the PTCommons files, javadoc lists each class twice in the class list. In the actual generated documentation, there is only one instance of the file.
    Has anyone seen this before?

    Im having a problem with the variables.
    Part of my original problem might be each pxi was in a different project. and i had two projects each its own IP. Using this method i did not know how use two differnt variables from two differnet pxi' s with the same program.
    if your still following.
    i tried a simpler way
    i modified my project to include both ip addresses. 
    this way In my window environment my vi calls the variable. i made sure that i right clicked and chose the variables from the correct ip.
    what i have is two status indicators and two update buttons.
    the status tells me what stage the test is in
    the update button is for the user at the end of the test he can update the screen with the results.
    currently only my second pxi is updating status and also the update works
    this is my windows vi alias file
    [My Computer]
    My Computer=localhost
    [S4000xH-System1]
    S4000xH-System1=192.168.110.10
    [S4000xH-System2]
    S4000xH-System2=192.168.110.3
    do i need to bind to source or use the single writer. im going to try to undo the single writer seems like this would could onluy better it but doesnt seem like its for my application.
     i forgot to mention that the varibles i use  were there listed as dependancies for the windows evirment have a blue question mark  but show what is wrong.  
    where i have the variables under the ip address there are no blue question marks

  • Problem with Freezing/buffering

    Hi people,
    i have a problem with my 8520 curve. A lot of the time when i go to use it, it has the wee black square in the middle of the screen ( like the hands going round on a clock ) it reminds me of the internet buffering when you are trying to watch something on your computer. I have tried the battery pulls to fix it have any of you good people any idea how to fix it I would be grateful for any advice thank you.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Problem with unwanted purchases

    Hello to everyone, I have a problem with iTunes store. Recently I purchased an album from the store but there was some kind of problem with it and it appears to have been purchased 3 times! the first one of course is ok, payed, dowloaded and that's it. The others instead, I can't get rid of them! iTunes store notifies that the payment method is invalid (of course, there's no more money on that card) and I can't signal the problem to undo the purchase and have a refund. Any suggestion? Thanks (sorry for bad English, it's not my mother language)

    If I had this situation, I'd look at a 3rd-party iPod manager.
