Safari window becomes scrambled and looks like...

...something Jackson Pollock created. Does anyone know why this is happening? It happens intermittently but enough to be a nuisance. The rest of my display is fine...only the portion of the display within the Safari window has this issue. Thoughts? If needed, I can post a screenshot. Thanks in advance for any help!

(First check that you have checked the box Enable Plug-ins in Safari Preferences/Security! )
Update 10.6.4 included an out-of-date version of FlashPlayer*. Try deleting it and installing the latest one from Adobe even if it has the same version number as the one you have:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
* To avoid this situation in the future, Apple recently announced that Macs would in future not have Flash Player pre-installed, precisely to avoid this situation, saying:
We're happy to continue to support Flash on the Mac, and the best way for users to always have the most up to date and secure version is to download it directly from Adobe.
They also noted that this will be happening across all Macs in the future, though there may be some models still in the channel with Flash pre-installed.

It is also interesting to note that more than half of the security issues addressed by the recent security update 2010-007 (for Leopard and Snow Leopard) were Flash related:
http://photos.appleinsider.com/cve.001.jpg
"the most security vulnerabilities by far are associated with the Adobe Flash plugin, with a whopping 55 issues listed, the "most serious of which may lead to arbitrary code execution," Apple reports in its Apple Product Security update.
The security issues related to Flash are in fact the stated reason why Apple is backing away from bundling the plugin with its new computers. Apple began shipping the MacBook Air without Flash installed, noting that customers could install the plugin on their own to ensure they had the latest, most secure version.
However, testing indicates that in normal operation, Flash can also consume dramatic amounts of battery life just to animate web ads in the background, resulting in as much as two hours of lost productivity on a single charge."

My tabs randomly become scrambled and encrypted in what appears to be mandarin? What is going on???

When I have my web browser open for some moderate time period, suddenly the "web-page tabs" become scrambled and have an overwriting text which appears to be Mandarin or Japanese. The red "close (x)" button on the tab as well as the plus (+) to open a new window page all come scrambled and out of alignment and/or hidden. If I close out my browser and clear all my internet data and reopen, things start normal again. But these symptoms are ALWAYS returning. It does not matter what webpage I am on. Even Google's search engine get's this "tab-scramble." ANY HELP? Is this a virus, worm, bug? I have Norton anitvirus and MacAfee Internet security, but they don't detect anything. And again, this occurs on any harmless site. I can email screenshots of these occurrences if it helps. Thanks for any suggestions!!

It is part of iOS 8, and cannot be removed. You can move the app to another page, or hide it in a folder. You can turn off the notifications for the App in the notifications center control pane.

How do I uninstall iOS7? It's hideous, and looks like something designed by a 6 year old with all those horribly bright colours.

Can anyone tell me ghow to unisntall iOS7 please?
It is just so hideous looking with all those vivid green and red colours, and looks likie something a 6 year old would design!
It was a big mistake of me to hot the doenload button, and my desktop photo doesn't fit the screen anymore!
I'll be grateful if anyone can help.
Thanks

That's really disappointing, but thanks for replying.

One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry. If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's. The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones. We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back. Now try the camera ...Fixed! It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again.

Safari, Windows Media Player, and Proxy Servers

I'm trying to watch streaming video of comedy central's Daily Show but its not working. I hit play and I get "-19422" in the play bar. I can't find anything about this anywhere online. I used to be able to do play these videos on my old computer but have had no success. It has to be in Windows Media Player format. I have Windows Media Player and have streamed from other sites. The only thing I have found is that the comedy central page requires a proxy to view streamng video. I have contacted my ISP and they say no such proxy is needed and I should be able to view the page. Am I suppose to guess on the proxy server? The comedy central site says it supports safari and apple computers but it doesn't seem like it. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any ieas for solving this problem?
PS- This is what comedy central says.... Also my ISP is Time Warner Cable's RoadRunner
"If you are on a Mac, make sure your Player is set to only use the proxy, and disable TCP or UDP checking as this will cause timeouts.
If you choose the Use proxy option and do not know the proxy server name or port number you should use, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator. "

Hi,
The videos work fine for me with Safari 2.0.2 and OS X 10.4.3. The section of the help file you quoted appears to be referring to a corporate firewall setup rather than a typical home setup - you shouldn't need to change any of the defaults for Windows Media Player.
A Google search for that error code you received mentions Flip4Mac in a couple of places - do you have that installed?
If so, try disabling it to see if that is the cause of your issues.

Hp c3180 all in one prints some thins fine but others print and look like programmer language

HP C3180 All in One running on Windows XP
Some pages print fine, but others from different job websites print out what looks like Config Sys language. For example: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 FRAMESET//EN"> and this goes on for 1/4 of a page. How do I correct it?

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull the power cord from the printer then from the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’ and restore the printer to a known good condition (if it is possible). No user settings are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful tools to use when the printer hardware is not functioning properly!
IF NOT RESOLVED, uninstall hp software & reinstall using latest hp software from hp website.

Safari Window zoom in and out

Every so often when I am using Safari and have another application(s) running in the background, the Safari window will zoom out and the other apps are shown, as though I am using Expose. A click on the Safari window, which is also highlighted in blue, zooms it back and makes it the primary window. What is causing this to happen and is there a way to stop it from happening?
Thanks.
PS: I am using Snow Leopard but I don't know which version it is.

In Safari > Preferences > Advanced the smallest the font size can be set to is 9.
If you'd like to, please send feedback to Apple developers > Apple - Safari - Feedback

When i open up a new safari window (command N), and i hover my cursor over my bookmark bar, the bar retracts. but this does not occur on the initial safari window.

this issue happens with all additional safari windows except the primary one opened. I think it is a small software glitch, but id like apple to know so they can update it.

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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. 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 (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Whenever I click on my safari window, the dock and the bar at the top of the screen disappears, nothing is working, please help!

It only happens on Safari. I have checked the Dock isn't checked for automatically hide and show, it's just really bothering me! Safari is also not in full screen, it is the same size it has always been.

That bar you refer to is the "Menu Bar" with File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, Tools, Help. The "Navigation Toolbar" contains the location bar (/address bar) and navigational toolbar buttons like back/forward.
To restore the menu bar use "Alt" to bring up menu bar temporarily then View > Toolbars > (check) Menu bar, and suggest you put tabs bar back to bottom of top toolbars instead of on top. This is items #2 and #3 in the following and you had better read about back/forward changes in item #5 using right-click instead of drop-down.
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Next Approval not selected, workitem now in outbox and looks like 'hanged'

Hello experts,
There is an approval workflow that got lots of approval levels.
Lets say:
Level1 - 4 person
Level2 - 8 person
At level1, user can select any of the approvers of level2 to send their approved workitem to.
The issue is, the Level1 approver not selecting any level2 approver, the user just closed the selection box. Now, the workitem is appearing in the outbox instead of the inbox - looks like hanging to me.
Is there any way to continue the workitem?
Thankyou in advance

Check the workflow log. Probably the task is created without an agent. You can use transaction SWI2_ADM1 to find these tasks and correct them. You will need to change the container.
I would also suggest you change the workflow so if the user doesn't select an agent you will loop back and represent the task, so he couldn't leave it without selecting an agent.
Regards,
Martin

Should it take sooo long to install Flash on a new Mac book pro? And should the CC panel say "syncing files" and look like it will never finish?

I Have CC and it's taking so long to install on my new Mac book pro. The CC panel also says its syncing files down at the bottom, it's so slow it looks like it will never finish. Should it be taking this long?

I had an issue where I had to wipe my mac as well. What you have to do to format the hard drive and reinstall is this:
Restart the computer while holding down the option key. Choose the recovery disc. Find the main hard disc and hit format. Then you can reinstall Lion via the internet, it takes a while though, my computer took 5 hours or so.
For your first question, if you got the family version of office, I believe you have 3 computers you can authorize it on. If you are not sure, look it up in the apple store.
For the second: Time machine would probably be your best option, but I would reccomend restoring from a backup before you were having problems, and restore that one (put new files you need on another external or a digital-online storeage site such as dropbox.) To restore a backup, restart your computer and hold command+R and select "Restore from Time Machine Backup" (for more information go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 )
I don't believe tere is anything else you need to do, but I am new to macs, so I may not be the best source, but this is what I have found/have had to do.
