Small application name font in all apps
Something has gone wrong with my system. In every application, including the Finder, the application menu item (the menu that shows About this application, etc.) appears in a tiny font, even though all the other menus appear normally. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?
Thanks!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the problem of garbled text in Entourage, and have tried everything to get rid of it but to no avail...any ideas?

How do I fix message "computer has run out of application memory" even tho all apps are closed
Since loading Mavericks my iMac 27-inch (2009) 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 stays almost out of virtual memory and often pauses all apps and messages "computer has run out of application memory." I have run spindump, but no significant difference is made.
Spindump is a diagnostic tool used by Apple. It doesn't fix anything.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if it's not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
The System Memory tab of the Activity Monitor window shows how physical memory is being used. "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details. -
.app appearing in Application names
I'm getting .app appearing in Finder, Spotlight, etc. with application names, e.g. iPhoto.app. This only started recently. How can I revert to apps hiding the extension in the file name without making it universal?
Sorted. I didn't realise that by unchecking 'show all extensions', most document files still show their extension.

List all app-v applications in use on the users PC
Hi All ,
In need of a solution to list all the app-v application name that are currently "In Use" on the users PC.
Tried with SFTTRAY.exe /EXIT - This command provides only the number of app-v applications in use but not the application name .
Also tried with MS tool listAppVirt.exe from this link
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8901. We could only list the running process & PID for the application. But could not find the application name .
Please let me know if any one have idea on this.
Thanks In Advance.

When I try to put the updated Firefox icon into my applications folder, I see this message:
The operation can’t be completed because the item “libsoftokn3.dylib” is in use.
I have closed all apps and don't understand what this refers to.

Fonts disabled in Font Book all still on in applications (after SL upgrade)
I've successfully upgraded to Snow Leopard on my 2Ghz intel mac. I had some initial problems with fonts but all now working except that despite fonts being disabled in Font Book they are still active in all applications. As I have 500+ this is really annoying.
I've run Disk Utility. What else? - any ideas how to sort this out???The database for Font Book is in a completely different location in Snow Leopard. The update doesn't seem to always do the hand off correctly as I've seen a fair number of posts stating the same problem. Resetting Font Book's database should fix it.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode. Any font sets you have created will be gone. Also, all fonts in the three main Fonts folders (System, Library, your user account) will now be active, regardless of their state beforehand. -
After clearing cash on my mac ( Go to folder: ~/Library/Caches and clear all, than to Library/Cashes and clear all again) applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player, firefox.. with app cleaner and again download and install the new one but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. I have done this cash clean up very often on Maverick without any problems. This time I done it again because I could not open my web site, the server has blocked me and I was trying everything including deleting cash from mac. Please advise me what to do..?!? Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Applications folder on Dock, how to get it to show all apps?
Somewhat daft question. I just upgraded last night to a MacBook Pro. On my old PowerBook, I was able to click on the Applications Folder on the bottom right and all apps would show. Now, only about 10 show. How can I get all of them to show? I've been trying to figure it out all night.

Hard-coded application name in Customized App.
Dear all,
The name of standard application has been hard coded in one of the methods where URL for a page is generated. The customized application starts calling standard pages at this point.
I copied this method-code and called it from my object. But this is giving runtime context error.
I would have replaced the application name from this URL after method call, but its called at many points in application.
Kindly suggest what should i do now.
ThanksThe @computername@ variable takes a computer name defined by the user who deploys the template.
To make this template fit for scaling you have to define the computer name not as a variable but as a name followed by a number of ### symbols. The ### symbols will become numerical values. VMM makes sure that the numbers are incremented each time you scale
your computer tier.
Serv## will resolve in Serv01, Serv02, etc.
I’ve tried to combine the variable with the ### symbols in the past. I recall this didn’t work back then (2012SP1).
