Since 10.5.5 update my X11 shows up twice

Hi,
since I updated to 10.5.5 my X11 always shows up twice when I launch an Application that needs it (in my case MATLAB).
That is a little bit annoying, though it works. If I close one instance of the two it's not working any more (though I don't see any difference between them).
Can anybody explain why this happens and maybe how to fix it?
Thanks!

I agree that 10.5.3 needs some urgent work. I gather 10.5.4 has already been seeded. My CPU use also now looks like a mountain range from Lord of the Rings, although I think my MacBook is actually running a little cooler if anything. However there seem to be lots of complaints of CPU spiking and fans going crazy, with no universal solutions. My guess is that the code has gotten so large that curing one fault, introduces two others. I wonder if we will look back at Tiger as the peak of OS X. I have left Tiger on my wife's G5 iMac and I get no complaints. I think I would be mad to upgrade her to Leopard.
I will try deleting my printers and reinstalling but I did that not long ago, trying to cure the HP Photosmart Pro B9180 fault after a firmware update that if connected via Ethernet, it keeps reporting no print heads installed and then after a minute or so, changes its mind and although still reporting no print heads, amazingly manages to print the image.

Only first subtitle line is shown since last AppleTV 2 update

Hi,
I use handbrake to encode video with soft subtitles, since the last software update It only shows the first subtitle line for everything I've encoded, is anyone experiencing the same problem? Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Everyone:
Here is some more evidence:
1. I thought about the issue, and the distortion seems to follow the cursor in all cases, though sometimes the effect remains after the cursor has been moved away. So, maybe it's related to (drum roll) the cursor? What can I change about the cursor? Its size, in the Universal Access preference. Unfortunately, adjusting the cursor size to maximum and back to minimum has no effect. Oh, well, it was a good idea.
2. Why don't I post a screen-shot of the distortion somewhere? So I put Grab on timer and fooled with the cursor in this very window until the text above "...Universal Access..." appeared with its lower pixels missing, waited until the timer expired. But.... The screen shot DOES NOT SHOW THE PROBLEM. In three completely different trials, the text in the screen shot was flawless. Hmmm, that should be a very good clue for someone who understands how the screen is maintained in MacOS.
3. Right now I have two windows side-by-side mostly filling my screen. On the left, a large photo in Preview. On the right, the Main window of Entourage 2004. I bring Preview to the front and I move the cursor to the approximate horizontal center of Preview's toolbar, which is very near the top of the screen, and I move the cursor vertically towards the bottom of the screen. About half-way, I observe, well, a ripple running across the photo, no --wait-- across the entire screen. Where the ripple meets text (in the Entourage window at the right), it distorts more or less as I've already described. I think it is important that the problem occurs in all windows, not the frontmost. Oh, yes, I've moved this window down near the bottom of the screen and, so far, I've seen no problems. So the problem appears to only occur at mid-screen, vertically. That's where one usually works...
Ideas, anyone?
TIA
Henry

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

Since i change my new account in apple id , evevrytime i update it keeps showing and askingthe old account.

since i change my new account in apple id , everytime i update it keeps showing and asking the old account.

Not knowing what yo are updating maybe this:
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

QT 7 Icon no longer showing since 10.6.7 update

Hello,
QT 7 Icon no longer showing since 10.6.7 update
Realized the QT icon is missing when I was doing command-tab to move through apps. Just a blank space.
It also is not showing in my dock. Just a blank space.
The icon appears next to the title in my applications folder.
Any ideas why or how to fix?
QT X icon visible. (Never use it as it isn't very smart)
Thanks!

updating.. It looks as though as soon as I open an app, the icon disappears.
I looked in console, (whose icon disappeared) and these messages showed

(My suspicion is that the tiny antenna inside the
Mini is not as robust in dealing with marginal signal
conditions as the larger antennas in all the other
Mac products
There is, in fact, a reasonable consistency of reports indicating exactly that with the Mac mini. The supposition has commonly been that the nature of the mini's casing has an impact on signal, which seems reasonably possible and would account for lowered sensitivity, less reliable operation in marginal signal conditions, and higher susceptibility to interference.
Though it has to be said that Becca's situation should not, either by range or apparent signal strength, be marginal - particularly not when previous tests have been conducted with the mini in close proximity to the base station.
-- although I'm still open to the
possibility that current airport software in Macs is
less tolerant of some non-Apple routers.
The minis (and other wireless devices) I have in service in the network are variously connected via an Airport Extreme base station, an Airport Express and Belkin and Lexmark WAPs. Range varies between 15 and 55 feet and I've moved various wireless devices around to experiment. In the course of doing this I've noted marginally better signal stability at the 55 foot range between a mini and the Airport Extreme base station, but no real difference in signal quality between any of them.

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Filling in forms and clicking continue no longer works since the last Firefox update. Please help!

Since downloading the latest update for firefox, I can no longer complete forms or orders online. I click continue and it keeps me where I am only the form is once again blank. Is there A filter setting I can change or what can be done so I can operate on this firefox as I did before the update? Example it happened when I tried to book a flight on united.com and place an order on puritan.com

Alco, that was ''sort of'' helpful.
I changed the default value to 2, and that at least made a download appear in the download window. However, if I close the window and reopen it, it's blank again. And it won't show more than one download going at once. AND I can't pause or cancel downloads.
I really don't want to reset Firefox, but I suppose I will if I have to.

HT3819 Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. chI have checked all IDs, rebooted iTunes, AppleTV, and my router, eck port settings in my firewall. Nothing works. Is it me or did this update screw things up?

Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention

This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
The process:
Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
-- On your Macs
Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
Click Apply
Turn off Airport
Turn Airport on
IT WORKS!!!
One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
Hope this helps-
Joshua

HT1338 I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.

I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.

If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again.
