Several applications suddenly not working properly at once

Hi,
I've run into some quite big problems with my 2009 13" MBP (8gb ram, 2.26 GHz).
Today I noticed Safari wouldn't connect to websites that used the HTTPS protocol; I would just get a screen saying "Safari can't create a secure connection...." or something like that. Normal websites work fine. Then I noticed the iTunes store didn't work (probably because of the same problem that's causing secure websites not to work)
But then it gets weird: iTunes also gives me several error messages about it not being able to save the library file (error code -50 if I remember correctly). And while this is all happening Disk Utility won't open either, it just bounces on the dock.
These are the problems I've run into at the moment, but I have a feeling more applications won't work either.
The weird thing is all of the problems start acting up at the exact same time, without any particular trigger that I've noticed.
When I restart my Mac everything goes back to normal: I can visit secure websites, I can open Disk Utility and fix permissions etc etc. But after half an hour or so the same problems come back.
I've tried to repair Disk Permissions, reset Safari and restarted the MBP several times, but nothing works. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with the MBP except for installing a Java update a few days ago. I thought that might be the cause and deleted Java completely, but still no luck; the same problems still persist.
I couldn't find any similar problems on Google, and I really need help. Safari not visiting secure websites is a real pain, since Facebook, Google etc etc all use https.

I could finally get Siri to recognize my apps and launch them again with the following couple of troubleshooting activities.
Step 1. go to Settings -> general -> siri -> disable Siri. Then shut phone down and after restart re enable Siri.
Step 2. go to Settings general -> reset -> reset network settings.
Step 1 didn't work for me but it still a good troubleshooting activity and may solve other Siri related problems.
as far as step 2 goes, as soon as i reset the network settings on my phone, SIRI started working properly again. I am glad it worked and didn't have to restore my phone or do some more complex tasks.
Hope this helps some one else.

Application does not work properly when I press a CommanButton

Hi all, I am having a problem with weblogic 10.3.5.
It turns out that an application built with JDeveloper 11.1.5, I test it, and everything goes well in the JDeveloper integrated Weblogic.
But when deploy in a standalone weblogic 10.3.5 server, the application does not work properly when I press a CommanButton to go to another page search (the property "action" is set correctly) , but nothing happens, stays in the same home page. Similarly when a commanButton link to run a task-flow, It do not work , however in the JDeveloper integrated Weblogic it runs correctly.
How I can solve these problems?
Thanks.

Thanks Frank for help us, but when I writing this comment we are doing at home. So, we going to test the page in a stand alone weblogic server 10.3.5. We wrote the URL as :
" http://<our ip>:7001/myApp/faces/index.jspx "
this application contains a report desing and compiled with iReport 4.5.1 ( last version in the moment ), we can see the report when I press a commanButton without any problem.
But now, we need try your suggestions in the office, and give you more information about it . Thanks for the moment.
In the Afternoon we gonna give you more information about it .

Application Toolbar Not Working Properly. Help!

I'm having an issue with my Mac. The toolbars and other areas of each window in each program are not working properly. There is a bunch of random apples in place of certain buttons. Its hard to explain exactly what is going on so I've attached a couple screen shots of what I'm talking about. Does anyone know whats going on or how to go back to the default settings? I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.2 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Application URL not working properly

We have a custom application hosted on weblogic8.1 cluster. And this is in production environment.
What we observed was, I am using FireFox browser and works fine for me. And I noticed it did not work a few days ago only once. However, most of the other users use IE6.0 and seems not able to access this URL. So some tried using IE 7.0 and worked fine for some time. But, the problem persisted very often as few can and others cannot.
Can anybody tell me what could be the problem or should I be modifying any files in weblogic server.
This is working pretty fine in testing environement.

Thank you very much for the hint, though I have not tried your suggestion. I tried a little more and found the following way might be simpler - using "java.url.*" and "java.io.*". Just a simple test:
============================
URL url=new URL("ftp://usrname:password@hostname/localDirectory/filename.txt");
InputStream is=url.openStream();
BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String line;
while((line=in.readLine()) !=null) { System.out.println(line);
==========================================
Of course, other data format would work in a similar way.
Cheers,

30 pin lightning converter suddenly not working properly in my car

I have a Hyundai Veracruz that has the Hyundai cord that you plug into your phone and can play music/podcasts through the speakers while charging the phone. Of course, when I traded in my iphone 4s for the 5s a few weeks back, I had the problem that the Hyundai cord was compatible with the 30 pin plug. I ended up getting the lighning to 30 pin adapter (not the one with the cord, the regular little one. I tried the corded lighting to 30 pin adapter first because of the issue with the regular lightning to 30 pin adapter not working if an iphone is in its case, but that product didn't work at all). Anyway, it had been working totally fine-- recognizing the iphone as soon as I plugged it in, playing my music through the speakers, charging it, allowing me to use the controls on my steering wheel to skip songs if I wanted-- until this morning. When I plugged it in this morning, my radio didn't turn on automatically like it always has before. Instead, when I turned it on manually and went to the auxilary mode it just says connected instead of ipod detected or whatever it used to say. The good news is that it still plays through the speakers and charges, but I can't use the controls on the steering wheel and clearly something is wrong. Any ideas?

Motion 3 suddenly not working properly

I have Motion 3 on a Mac Pro, and everything has been running JUST FINE until today.
When I booted up Motion today, I noticed problems:
1. The Utility window won't open
2. I cannot add any Behaviors. When I hit the Behavior button, absolutely nothing happens
3. I cannot add any Filters. When I hit the Filter button, absolutely nothing happens
4. When I try to open the app to a new project, no new project is automatically created
Other parts of the app seem to work fine. When I hit the button to add a new camera or bring up the HUD or something similar, it does that just fine. Its just those 4 things it won't do.
One thing I did try doing was drag the Motion app to the trash and used Time Machine to retrieve the app from a few days ago (when it was working properly), but that doesn't help at all.

Adobe application manager not working properly

First, If I'm in the wrong forum, please let me know and I'll re-create this entry in a better location.
I've been a user of Elements 10 since it came out but now with my new camera I would like to try Elements 13. It was a struggle, but I finally was able to install the trial package but I can not launch elements 13 because the Adobe Application Manager refuses to connect and authenticate.
I went through this thread for help: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1098435
and it lead me to some additional information below.
And followed these steps under troubleshooting connection issues found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
All of them worked just fine indicating that in theory, I should have NO problems connecting to Adobe. However, that is not the case and I can not access the site that allows me to try or use the software.... The software manager just sits and spins its wheels so to speak.
Now, the funny thing, if I type in the WRONG password for my adobe ID, the application manager software immediately comes back and says that I've entered the wrong information. That tells me the application manager is connecting to where it should. As a last resort, I have even tried turning off my firewall and still no luck. Is there anything else I can try? There would be NO point in buying the software since I would still be stuck not being able to use it. Or anyother Adobe software for that fact.
Cheers
David

Jeff,
First of all, Merry Christmas.
Now, an update. Elements / Photoshop 13 installed just fine on the my Mini Mac. My PC has been running since day one (four or fives years now without a complete re-do.) and this seemed as good as time as any to install a factory fresh copy of Windows 7. Who knows how many programs etc.. have been installed / uninstalled etc.. over the past several years and now its complete. Mostly... Fresh Windows install, All updates installed, latest video drivers drivers and anti-virus installed, google Chrome installed. I had no issues installing Adobe Photoshop Elements after that. Again, I have to say its very sad it comes to this extreme measure, but I really and truly do appreciate you taking the time to help me with this issue.
Cheers

Print Booklet suddenly not working properly

I am working with InDesign CS3 in OS X 10.5. Up until this week, the Print Booklet function always worked fine for me (I only use it for generating PDFs with printer spreads). Now, however, files that printed properly in the past are generating PDFs of the wrong page size and orientation, and sometimes with the wrong scaling as well. The previews in Print Booklet still look fine, but the PDFs generated are not.
One thing that stands out in particular is that, in the past, I could take care of all the settings in the Print Settings dialogue box - printer, page size, orientation, etc. Now, if I want the right page size, I have to go into the Page Setup box and choose the page size from there. If I am dealing with an uncommon page size (which can easily be set in the Print Settings box), the Page Setup box does not have that option (or it requires establishing a new custom page size). Furthermore, even when I can get the right page size, the page orientation in the resulting PDF is wrong and the pages need to be rotated, where they didn't before.
It seems like the problem may have something to do with InDesign's communication with the Adobe PDF printer. This same week, I found that the software for my normal paper printer could not communicate with the printer, and I had to reinstall the printer driver, which took care of the problem. Maybe there is something similar I need to do here, with regards to the Adobe PDF printer driver? Or, perhaps there is a system file that might be missing or needs to be deleted and replaced? Please help - thanks!

You updated to 10.5.5 didn't you? This is a problem with a CUPS file which has been discussed on the forums. Basically replacing the 10.5.5 version with one from 10.5.4 will fix the problem. See also this

Very sick Macbook Pro OS v 10.6.8 - initially running slow so I tried backing up to Time Machine and reloading the OS but the install disk failed. I was able to recover from the Time Machine back up but many applications are not working properly. Help!

I am also no longer able to back up using Time Machine (backups fail), can't access iPhoto (which was a problem before attempting to reload OS) and I suspect other apps are no longer working. The computer is however running faster in Safari and Mail...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If there are any files you can transfer to a regular storage drive do that first and then disconenct all drives.
Hold c boot off the 10.6.8 disk and use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero option the hard drive, takes some time, let it complete as it's mapping off any bad or failing sectors.
Then install 10.6. log in and update to 10.6.8 (important!)
Now use Migration Assistant to transfer over just your user files, we need to rescue those first out of TimeMachine's EVIL clutches, once you've got that, transfer them to the regular storage drive and disconnect.
Note: if your 10.6 disk fails, call Apple for a replacement, you need the machine specific version, the 10.6.3 retial doesn't have iLife and only works for machines pre 10.6.3 release, not afterwards. Factory installed 10.6.4 machines and afterwards need machine specific disks.
Then either:
Log into the admin/first set up user on the machine and delete the Migrated user, then reboot and use Migration assistant again to TM everything this time
Or
Just install all your programs again from fresh sources.
If your TM drive is really hosed, then you'll need Data Rescue $99 to read the TM files directly and transfer the results to another regular storage drive (not the first one just in case), then pick through the debris and locate your files and transfer them to another drive.
I don't like TimeMachine, but for newbies it's better than nothing.
(I prefer cloning my entire OS X parititon instead, I can access it from any computer (Linux, Mac or PC) and I also can boot my Mac from it. I use Carbon Copy Cloner, but that's for later once your all better. )

Sharing suddenly not working properly

Hi,
I have been sharing itunes on my imac with both an iphone 4 & ipad 2 for ages, all going smoothly.
Suddenly, about a month ago, both devices started to show only a handful of the artists and albums
whilst the actual songs individually are all shared. So on the song tab, all 4179 songs are listed, but
only 4 artists in the artist tab, and 75 albums in the album tab.
Have tried closing/re-starting, home sharing on/off etc. but nothing works.
The only non standard thing in my set up is that I have all the itunes media stored on an external drive.
Dont think this can be the issue though, as its been set up that way for about a year with no issues.
Would appreciate any ideas out there as to what is going on, and even how to fix.
Thanks.
My Specs:
Quite old white plastic imac
2.16 GHz Core 2
1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
250 GB - 75 used
iTunes 10.7 (21)
iphone 4
ipad 2
External Drive - Samsung Story - 1 TB - 380 GB used
Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

FYI - I spoke to Apple support earlier and this is still not an acknowledged issue. Ergo, no one is looking into it.
They have 'offered' to call me back when at home to go over my setup that was working fine in IOS5 but not IOS6 as the setup MUST be the issue. Not sure if I made things worse by pointing out that I'm and IT consultant and have worked with Apple systems for more years than I'd care to admit to.....
The support tech I spoke said that her home sharing works fine. Hmmmmm.
I'd suggest that EVERYONE puts in for a support callback (you can go through the iPad option and chose the 'I should get an exception for updating to ios6' option) and get them working.

Application switching not working properly

Today something strange started happening. When I try to switch to an open application, using Command-TAB or even clicking on the icon in the dock, instead of the application coming to the front, only the menu bar for that application comes to the front. When I click a second time on the dock icon, the switch completes, and the window comes to the front. But when using Command-TAB it's just left there. I can bring the window to the front, e.g. by doing a keyboard command (e.g. Command-L in Chrome to get into the address bar) but I can't just switch with one move from one window to another. This has changed today, up until now it's been fine. It changed around the same time I had a weird file corruption issue in MS Word; I wonder whether they are related? Whether perhaps it's to do with disk corruption. Anyway if you've had a similar problem let me know, I'd be interested to hear any suggestions for how to fix it (e.g. is there a way to flush preference files, and reset? I'll see whether it happens in a new user account).
Cheers
Seth

Heya Seth- I just got this wrapped up with a senior specialist; here's what we did.
Oh, little background - this happened to me too seemingly out of the blue BUT coinciding with some corruption that an Erase & Install hopefully took care of.... it was after the E & I that this began to happen.
Shut Down
Holding shift key & Power On
must hold the Shift key until a progress bar appears (can release the Power button immediately)
Time will pass
Images will show up much slower (this slows down the Quartz filters...?)
Open up apps. Now try switching.....
it will be slow but keep your eye on the Menu bar.
Working (mine did)
It's a log-in item then.
Restart - this will be sloooooooow.
Back up, Sys Pref - Users & Accounts - log-in items... I took out Growlhelper.
Worked like a charm.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
cs

Why are videos taken with a 4S suddenly not working properly when sent to non iphone users since the update?

Suddenly non I-Phone users cannot view videos anymore, they can hear the sound, but no audio. Iphone users are having issues viewing the videos too. This all started with the 6.0 update. Please fix it or tell me how to restore my phone back to the previous update, it is quite annoying.

Hello VintageShaay,
It sounds like you are getting some audio issues with the included Ear Buds when they are plugged in. I wanted to recommend these troublehsooting steps from the article named:
Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
3. Disconnect and Restart
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible. Restart iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad by turning it off and then back on. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect the accessory.
4. Isolate
Isolate the issue to the accessory, if possible. Or, if available, try to reproduce the issue with another identical or similar accessory.
Examples:
If there is static coming from the left audio channel when using headphones, try connecting the headphones to a stereo, or try connecting a different set of headphones to the device.
If the device is not syncing when connected to the dock, try connecting it directly to the computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or try another USB port.
6. Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory default state. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
Also if that does not resolve the issue, try the steps from the following article:
Apple EarPods: Low or muffled sound

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Everything is inverted or monochrome or something.
I have restarted and restored, to no avail. I have also verified the most current iPad and iTunes Software.
Any ideas short of shipping to Apple?

Applications not working properly after updating t...

After eventually updating to symbian Anna, I've noticed that some applications are not working properly, notably AccuWeather and Facebook. Uninstalled AccuWeather and re-installed it but still didn't work . Seems pointless releasing a software update and then to discover that applications from Ovi store won't work on your device! With Facebook I can only login in to my account but when I go to view a friend etc, it shuts down.
Has anyone any suggestions or solutions to the problem?
Thanks

i updated to the latest version 025.007 on my E7 too and a lot of the apps on the store dont work. Just blank screens.
Somebody do something!!
I use other devices, and havent faced this problem with any of them after an upgrade!
