Screen phases in/out when saving MS Office docs

I just downloaded Yosemite Sunday night 3/8/15, and the screen tends to phase in/out when saving MS Office documents. My Mac tends to run extremely slow when saving, and deciding where to save the file. I've never had a problem with this before.
I'm using Macbook Pro early 2011, 16GB, 256 Solid State Drive. Never had a problem with this before.

If you can hear the HD spin up, then it is, indeed, sleeping and it's got to wake up before it can get busy. In Energy Saver preferences, do you have Put HD to sleep when possible checked? Does this happen whether the target file is on the internal or external drives or only the external? And if it happens when the file is on the internal, does it happen if the external is disconnected or powered off? Finally, did either the enclosure or the HD come with software to control it and did you install it?
I've seen a few brands of external drives spin down when they haven't been accessed for a while and that's sometimes built into the drive's firmware. Some manufacturers offer software to defeat that so you might check to see if WD does. But external enclosures aren't always ventilated properly so running the drive all the time could get it pretty hot (Seagate used to do that and required that spin down to keep from getting cooked).

Tables dropping out when saving PDF files

I have saved a document through writing to PDF in the Print dialog and also by exporting as PDF, but with the same results. In a 40 page document 3 of the tables get dropped out when saving so all I get is blank space where they should be.
Perhaps related is an interesting printing problem. When I print the entire document these same three tables are missing. But if I go back and print only the pages they appear on then the tables will print.
Any suggestions?

Happens with a Konika-Minolta Magicolor, a Brother 1470-N and an HP Laserjet.

The Session Timed Out.The document *.wid has been auto saved in the Favorites~WebIntelligence Folder..Click Restore to retrieve it.
(ERROR : WIJ600001).

Share screen button not appearing when remote from office

When I am in the office connected via the local LAN the share screen button in Finder is displayed. When I am at home anc connected via broadband I can still see the server and shares but I have no share screen button. Is there a preference that needs to be set somewhere to enable the remote share screen or is it more likely to be a firewall issue with a blocked port?

For sharing the screen of remote computers when screen sharing is enabled and the "Share Screen" button does not show up, an alternative is to launch screen sharing via Safari using the numeric IP address of the remote MAC. The issue you are having is most likey caused by the presence of one or more firewall in the network path. Here is a brief video demo on using Safari to launch screen sharing...

Macbook Pro screen blacks/colours out when laptop is moved

Hi all,
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 13" running OSX 10.8.2.
In the last 24hrs or so it has begun acting very strangely. The screen has been blacking out when the computer is lifted off a surface or tilted backward to sit on it's spine. At first, it was just when it was moved to put pressure on the back left hand corner, but now it will black out when it is nudged and even with no movement at all. Additionally, the screen now not only 'blacks out' (mind you, it still appears to be backlit), but it will also black out to a specific colour. So far, my screen has been completely filled with bright pink, and then green, on two separate startups. I have had to do a forced shutdown when this happens as it becomes completely unresponsive. If I try and reboot too soon after forcing shutdown, I get intermittent beeps that are synchronised with the light on the front right hand side. When this happens, I get no Apple chime, no response from the keyboard, nothing. Have to force shutdown again and wait for a while. The beeps seem to be one to every five seconds.
My first thought was RAM or the display cable, but after replacing the custom RAM with the original RAM I got with this computer, the only difference I found was that the beeping at startup stopped with one of the custom chips out. The screen issues persist.
Moving the display angle of the Macbook Pro does nothing to return the display. Keyboard stops functioning. I've tried booting into Recovery, but often this hasn't worked. I've reset PRAM and SMC but have not noticed any difference.
Any ideas would be much appreciated

It sounds like a defective Mac. I would see what the Genius Bar says.

Colors are appearing washed out when saving from Illustrator to PDF

Hey Guys,
I am working on a cover page for my office to go along with our bid packages. I have finished adding all of the elements that they wanted and added a little flare to it. Its a really basic document and when I save it into a PDF form, the colors appear washed out or like the PDF adds a lot of white. the Rich black appear gray, the red appears pinkish... and the blue is much lighter than it looks in AI.
I need this to be completed soon, and I have been having this problem for a while now. Im not sure if its just the way it looks on the screen, or if it will print like that. I am a self taught Adobe guy.. So I am a little confused as to how to make this all work
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Steve

Steve,
What the PDF ultimately looks like depends on the settings when you create it. If you open it in Reader, it may be somewhat off, but in Acrobat it should look right (if your colour management settings are the same as in Illy).
A rich black may be customized to match the artwork in question (such as no C if there is no C in the artwork), or you may have some of each, often with emphasis on C and maybe M; there may be different views on what a rich black should hold.

Files grayed out when "saving as"

Hello everybody,
I've moved from windows to mac recently and i'm doing my best to understand the way this OS works. There are some things that really do not make sense to me as a beginner.
Anyways my problem is that when i want to "save as" a file everything in the directory seems grayed out. Looks similar to how hidden files are on windows system. I can't even select the file, and i need to overwrite a lot. I've checked permission of the folder, files, of the directory tree, checked whether its locked, but no success to sort the issue out. The problem happens on every program, from adobe products to word and even some of the apps are gray and un-selectable (some seem to be fine). I'm not sure if this was from the beginning or i've messed up something accidentally. I've searched google for the past couple of hours with nothing to suggest a resolution to my problem.
Ive attached an image for your reference.
The only thing i can think of, that i've been messing with, was to enable (using the terminal) the option to have folders before files.
Kind Regards
A.

restarted, everything seems fine... Anyway this post is useless...

System time out when saving report from portal

Hi,
We have a problem where the report output either gets time out or gives an output after 30 minutes if we try to save a report from portal in the form of excel.( report is run on the web)
Generally the query output has not more then 32k records.
Is it the number of records in the portal output which is the cause of the issue??
This is not the issue with the reports with leess number of records.
Can we do something to improve the performance here??
Thanks
Ajeet

Try creating aggrates on the cube. this may change the performance.
also you can change the query execution time.
but better check for some performance tuning by using aggrates.
check below suggestions also:

Save option grayed out when saving as???

I am just beginning the tutorial for FCP 5.1.2 but don't seem to be able to save the new tutorial project as the button for "save" is gray, not blue and therefore inaccessible. Also note that the format button in the same window with project as the default is also gray and inaccessible. Any thoughts as to how to get past this road block?
thanks,
Ol Pappy Joe

Thanks for responding. I think I have it all copied to my hard drive, at least the tutorial folder (Final Cut Studio Training) and something called Video-TS - they are both on an external LaCie and I am running the tutorial DVD off an external DVD player while performing the tutorial on my G5 where the FCP app is located. After I navigate to the Tutorial folder on the LaCie and find the Edit, then Project folders and try to save, the buttons for saving are gray???
Any more thoughts?
Thanks again.

Screen flashing black only when viewing .pdf or .doc

I installed OpenOffice about a month ago. Shortly thereafter, my screen began flashing black whenever (and only when) I opened a document or pdf.
I installed OpenOffice and installed Microsoft Word. No help. I uninstalled Adobe Reader and reinstalled it. Still same problem. I called Dell computers. They had me do a System Restore.
No help. For some reason, they had me log in as an administrator. No help. The screen only flashes when a .doc or .pdf is open. It's a software, not hardware problem. Please help.

Assuming that you are on Windows, it could be a problem with your graphics driver. What is your display adapter, device driver version & date? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

Leopard iChat Screen Sharing Grayed out

Hi there-
I'm experiencing an issue with the new "Share my screen" feature of Leopard OS X 10.5. I've been able to successfully establish a connection with two other people in both directions (letting them control my screen, and controlling their screen), however have had issues connecting to my father (whom, of course, would be the most useful to have the feature with for support/troubleshooting).
Basically, in iChat the option to request control of his screen is grayed out when I attempt to connect to him. On his end, his option to share his screen is grayed out. Interestingly, my option to share my screen with him is available and he can request control of my screen, but it never actually connects.
Are there any firewall ports that need to be open on our routers? Has anyone else seen this problem?
I have an intel based 24" iMac (the white model), and he has the brand new 20" iMac.
I wasn't sure whether to post here or in the Leopard Forum, so I'll post in both.
Thanks for your help!
Joel

I've done that, to both iMacs (Intel based) though i still have them grayed out. Before, when the other computer's screen sharing was turned off, and mine was on, i was able to offer him to share my screen, but once he activated his Screen sharing from the System Pref. we both are having the Screen sharing button grayed out in Bonjour and AIM Buddy List.
Any hints? much appreciated
Thanks in advance

Fit screen in subview or zoom in/out not saved ?

Hi,
I made some subviews with 3 ou 4 big tables, and clicked on "fit screen" button,
or "zoom out", then saving everything,
but after when I reopen it, nothing seems to have been saved ?
Is this an issue, bug , or something to do to keep the "good" object size ?
Regards, Pierre

Hi,
All screen size states can not be saved.
We could add such option in the future.
