So many Yosemite issues

Hi, all —
It seems that Yosemite has killed (or at least gravely wounded) a number of connectivity issues with my Mac and other devices. I'm running Yosemite on a mid-2011 27-inch iMac with 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor(s) and 8GB RAM.
My phone is an iPhone 5c, 16GB model with all the latest iOS updates as of the beginning of December, 2014 (iOS 8.1.1). It has not ever been Jailbroken or anything like that.
My AppleTV is Model A1469 (I forget if it's 2nd or 3rd gen), running software version 7.0.2 (6915); it says it's up-to-date. It's hard-wired to my AirPort Extreme.
I have another AppleTV, a 160GB 1st-gen, also connected wirelessly from upstairs. Neither has ever been tampered with, Jailbroken, etc.
I myself am a basic model human male, circa 1968, average memory and storage. I used to think I was slightly above-average MacOS & hardware aptitude, but I am increasingly finding myself ready to abandon that assessment. I have never been jailbroken, however I am well-housebroken, FWIW.
1. JAVA DRAMA: I keep getting the error demanding that I update Java. Others have posted about this, I've tried the things that helped all of them, and so far: nothing helps. I've clicked through the error to get to the installer that it recommends, and done that two or three times. I've also used the solution posted here several times (a 2014 Java updater from Apple) at least twice: nothing.
2. Apple TV connectivity: My kids watch Netflix. A lot. I also have probably a couple hundred movies shared via Home Sharing. When the two-year-old wants to watch something that should be easily accessible from iTunes, or (fates willing) my wife and I want to watch one of our movies in the collection, I slide over to "Computers" and, until recently, was almost always quickly taken to our home library and allowed to choose content. Lately, though, I have to restart the AppleTV, iTunes, and Home Sharing before any connection can be made. Just turning off HomeSharing and turning it back on again is useless... I really do have to quit and restart iTunes THEN stop/start HomeSharing AND restart the AppleTV to make the connection. Daily. Sometimes more than once per day. What gives here?
3. Every time (did I mention, EVERY TIME) I connect my iPhone to my Mac, I have to turn it on and answer the "Trust this computer?" prompt. Otherwise, it will never sync. My wife's 5c almost never successfully syncs at all, prompt or not. Mine will also rarely update the pictures in the albums designated to be updated on the phone. When I add pics to one of my albums in iPhoto on the Mac, it takes sometimes a week or more before those pictures ever make their way to the phone version of the same album, even though I sync every day at least once.
4. I tried tinkering with call hand-off and, again, EVERY TIME I look to see if the phone and Mac are connected, I find that BlueTooth has lost connectivity and I have a difficult, if not impossible, time reconnecting the two. I've never successfully handed off a call because my devices almost never pair. Similarly, AirPlay rarely works without a lot of try-try-again mentality and some degree of swearing. The AirPlay issue applies mostly to my 5C and my newer AppleTV. I haven't tried, very often, AirPlaying between the iMac and other devices, or other devices at all except the 5C & ATV.
5. I find that my Mac keeps duplicating itself... when I tried to pair my phone & Mac today, it said I should find Mike Hoffman's iMac (15)  and pair it. I noticed that the last-paired iMac was (10).
6. Occastionally, I'll get an error message stating that another Mac on my network has the same IP address as I do. Neat trick: this is the ONLY Mac on my network! I have iPhone, iPads, and two AppleTVs on the network with me, but no laptops or other desktops. Maybe that's why....
7. ...I have had issues where Final Cut Pro (7) tells me it can't run because of a "protection error," because another Mac is running a copy with the same serial number... but, again, no other Macs are on my network. This will go on for weeks at a time (I have to turn off AirPort to edit) and will then stop as randomly as it started.
Any valid ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  • I can't hear iTunes music or internet radio but internal and external speakers are definitely working. Is there a key stroke I have set or some other, maybe Yosemite, issue?

    I have checked my internal speakers on an iMac and also the external speakers - all working. When play music in iTunes the sound bar moves but no sound is heard.  Same problem if I want to listen to the radio via internet.  Has anyone a suggestion.  Is it a Yosemite issue - I have had others involving printers. thanks

    like davis says then even though I have connected headset and external speakers to my imac then at boot up the boot sound comes out of the imac speaker
    but once booted into OS X all audio is played out of the headset and ext speakers and the imac speakers are silent as the grave

  • Many forms issues in one spool

    Hello,
    Can we have many forms issues(smartforms) in one spool?
    I need to send one print stream / PCL format not multiple spools.
    Best Regards,

    Hello everybody,
    Thanks for your replies.
    I found another way to resolve this situation.
    For many invoices who are saved in nast. We initialize  no_dialog to space.
    After in the loop at the invoices : for the first one no_close to 'X' and the last one with no_close parameter to space.
    After the call FM(Smartform) we pass 'X' to no_open .
    I hope that answered for all.
    ls_control_param-no_dialog = space.
      LOOP AT t_nast INTO nast.
        AT FIRST.
    ls_control_param-no_close = 'X'.
    ENDAT.
    AT LAST.
    Close spool file
    ls_control_param-no_close = space.

  • Many Specific Issues with Mac Performance after Yosemite Upgrade

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15”--Late 2013
    Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, I have experienced the following problems:
    Preview locking up after I attempt to open a document or photo
    None of my files will be visible in certain views (e.g., Download Folder will appear empty)
    Trash and Junk Folders will disappear in Mail
    Spotlight will not search for anything when I attempt to use it
    Google apps (e.g.,  Search, News, Gmail, Maps) will usually not open initially when I try to open them in Safari—will just time out with a message that website will not respond… If I close out the tab, then try to re-open it, it usually works. I also tried them out in Chrome, and they seem to load with no problems.
    Initially I contacted Apple support. They had me delete several cache files, ran disk utility, etc. This seemed to help for a while, but problem returned.
    The next step: I performed a clean installation of Yosemite.  Eventually, the symptoms returned.
    Last step:  I took my computer to the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store.  The tech ran several diagnostics and found no problems.
    Finally, the Genius Bar tech. asked me how often I shut down my Mac;  I told him ‘not very often’.   His recommendation was that I restart my Mac every once in a while… (not specific on frequency)….
    Restarting it every couple of days seems to be the only thing that works…
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.

  • Time Capsule/Machine or Yosemite Issues

    Hi,
    I am really struggling with my system, 10.2.  Not sure whether it is OS X or time capsule, although both have been reset, reformatted, OS X reinstalled as backup and as fresh install with only putting back applications and documents.  But my system is still playing up.  Any suggestions?
    My symptoms are, time machine backups occur regular to time capsule then after sometime they just stop running.  I have not seen a valid error message.  I reboot the mac and it struggles to shutdown, often black screen with the rotating circle.  I have reset PRAM/SMC/NCRAM, I have tried so many things with little success. 
    I have the time machine widget which says the message below, although the preference panel said that it was looking for the disk, not that it was preparing or anything.  So I cancelled it.

    The error I see is that the drive was NOT dismounted at the end of the previously successful backup.
    So the next attempt at backup sees the drive as busy with the last backup.. to break this cycle has been an issue since Lion.. !!
    The fix is simple .. reboot the TC. Once a week that is ok.
    Not particularly helpful though if it happens several times a day.
    This is just poor programming from Apple and poor bug fixes ever since.. not treating these issues as serious.
    Both Time Machine and Networking in the latest Yosemite are simply poor.
    I recommend you jump out. Accept the inevitable and use either a local external drive as a TM target.. so you get away from the network issues.
    Or buy Carbon Copy Cloner (or other 3rd party backup) and use that.. to get away from the TM bugs.. you can even combine them and use CCC on an external drive.. but you will need to explore what works for you.
    This is my list of details of getting past the networking issues with Yosemite.. but TM may still have issues. And I cannot fix those.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.

  • Yosemite issues iPhoto images lost, bluetooth not syncing

    I uploaded Yosemite and then was instructed that iPhoto needed to be upgraded.  Did that and lost 50% of my albums. Also
    bluetooth is not syncing now and is breaking up. At the shop where I took the MacBook Pro, on returning, service person
    said many reporting the same issues.  Please advise

    No I do have a back up Its kinda long to explain but last a little over a week ago, i delete a important file in my private/var folder and screwed up my computer. Worst part was I didn't run time machine for almost a month that way all my pics that I did bring on weren't backup up. i know this sounds careless but normally does happen like this. Anyway I had to take my imac into to get it fixed and the only way to do it without losing all my data was to do an archive and install and of course my drive was full so they had to swap it out and they put in a 2 TB and ya, so now I am where I am at. Everything is here but got pro app and iphoto issues. I guess worst case scenario if something does go wrong on the install I kinda do have a back up as the old drive can be put into a enclosure and used as a HD but I guess it is a bootable drive so I don't know if it would mount properly. Thanks for you help though/ Really Appreciate it.

  • As with many, Yosemite has killed my internet connection.

    So, I tried upgrading to Yosemite the day of, and like many others here, my internet connection (wifi and ethernet) has yet to work.  I've tried a few different "tricks" but I haven't had any success.  I've even tried downgrading back to Mavericks, but most of the installed programs are non-existent.  Any suggestions?
    2010 iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core I3
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB

    I have the same issue. As many I tried doing this:
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    Which will fix the internet connection till your next reboot or till you logoff. As soon as you login again or restart your Mac you will encounter the same problem again though. The underlying cause seems to not be with the internet or wifi connection though but with the way Mac OS X Yosemite resolves DNS. If you browse the web by using just IP addresses it'll work just fine.
    Before Yosemite DNS was handled by mDSNResponder which eventually got replaced with discoveryd.
    When I went to check my /System/Library/LaunchDaemons folder though I found that discoveryd.plist, discovery_helper.plist were sitting right next to mDSNResponder.plist and mDNSResponder_helper.plist.
    My log files also showed a lot of entries saying: connect() failed path:/var/run/mDNSResponder
    Maybe the actual mDNSResponder was correctly removed during the update process but the plist files in the LaunchDaemons folder remained causing our current problems ... I'm not sure.
    What I did was I removed mDNSResponder.plist and mDNSResponder_helper.plist from my /System/Library/LaunchDemons folder and so far my internet connection seems to be working fine even after I restart my Mac or logoff and login again.

  • Many-to-many performance issue

    I realize that many-to-many joins have been discussed before (yes, I looked through many threads), but I'm having a slight variation on the issue. Our data warehouse has been functioning for a couple of years now, but we're now experiencing a dramatic degradation in report performance. I'll tell you everything I know and what I've tried. My hope is that someone will have an idea that hasn't occurred to me yet.
    The troubling data links deal with accounts and account_types. Each transaction will have one account, but each account can have multiple account_types and each account_type is made up of multiple accounts. It ends up looking like this:
    Transaction_cube --< account_dimension >--< account_type_table
    Given the many-to-many relationship between account and account_type, this is the only architecture I could come up with that will maintain data integrity in the transaction cube.
    I know that this is the cause of the performance issues because the reports run normally when this is removed. The volume of data obviously increases over time, but the problem appeared very suddenly -- not a gradual degradation that one would expect from a volume issue. The cube is partitioned by year and we're a little below last year's growth.
    The other fact to throw in is that the account_type table did increase in size by an additional 30% when we first noticed the problem. However, the business was able to go back and remove half of the account_types (unused types) so now the table has fewer rows than it had before we noticed the problem (~15k rows in the account_type table).
    We have tried pinning the table so that it remain in memory, but that did not help. I tried creating a materialized view combining accounts and account_types with a similar lack of improvement. I've tried adding indexes, but there is still a full-table scan. All database objects are analyzed nightly after the data load is completed.
    I'm fresh out of ideas at this point. Any suggestions and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I've thought about that. What it would mean would be aprox. 20 additional columns for each of the different account_types. Unfortunately, that would also mean that all the reports that use the account_type would have to have a condition:
    WHERE acct_type1='Income Stmt." OR acct_type2='Income Stmt." OR ....
    Since the account_types are not set up in a hierarchy and there must be only one row for account, I'm not sure that this is a feasible solution.
    Thank you for the suggestion.

  • BlackBerry Z10, so many frustrating issues

    I have been using my Blackberry Z10 for 4 months.  I still have so many issues that don't work like I would like, and I know if there is something that can fix them.  There is a list, for sure there are more that I don't remember right now. 
    Battery: it never arrives to low charge before turning off.  Close to 35-30% it goes to sleep.  I tried some of the solutions I´ve read (full charge after taking out battery, reset, etc) but nothing worked.
    Two times blocked: Since last OS update, I unlock the phone with my key and some seconds later another screen asks me to put the key again.  It doesn't happen always, but very frequently.
    GPS and tracking: I downloaded every app for tracking gps, like Endomondo, Runkeeper, etc, and no one works.  It is always "searching for satellites".  Sometimes, in an hour, it gets the satellites for e few seconds.  I downloaded GPS Status, as mentioned in other forums, and it works.  But not the other apps.
    Transferring files: When I connect it to the computer and want to transfer files from internal memory or the microSD card, it looses connectivity while transferring.  I have to move files to the SDcard, then take it out and transfer them in the SDcard reader in the computer.
    Music stops while playing: very frequently music makes very little pauses during the play.  I hate that when I play music.  I kill all the tasks, so the only thing running is the Music, but it is not solved.
    Wrong words learned: when you make a mistake and type wrongly a word, it remembers it and suggest it up to the end.  For example: it seems I once wrote "Germn" instead of  "Germán".  So I type G+e and it suggest me "Germn", then I type the r, and continues suggesting "Germn".  I hate that.
    Automatic message in the mail account: I must turn off the Automatic message "Sent from my smartphone..." every few hours.  It goes back to on and put that message again...
    Any idea of possible solutions?
    Thanks,
    Martín

    If you had one or two issues, I'd suggest tackling them individually but because you're experiencing issues at this level, your OS should be looked at.
    What OS are you currently running? To find this out, swipe down and select Settings>(Category - OS) and give us the OS version.
    Cheers.

  • Yosemite Issues on Macbook Pro mid 2009

    I have a macbook pro with a 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of Memory. I have more than enough HD space. Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, I have been having issues with running my mac. It runs super slow, every program takes 5 minutes to open. If I open iTunes and iPhoto, I might as well walk away and come back later.
    This issue only started happening with Yosemite. Is my system to old to handle it? Do I need to upgrade or what can I do. I'm a web designer and user Photoshop and all of the adobe programs a lot. I can't sit and wait 10 minutes to open a program, please help.
    Thanks,
    Francisco

    Hey, I do not have the exact same problem but trying to update to 10.9.2 causes my macbook to be stucked in black screen + curser after boot up. I have looked through forums for an answer but nothing worked for me (such as reboot, reset NVRAM, disk verification, disk/permission repair,  password entry, control-option-command+8, fresh osx 10.9.2 install). To be sure that my disk is properly working, I have installed the original snow leopard os, this worked fine. I also could access the recovery console.
    To be able to use my mac I have now restored to 10.9.1 from my TM backup. Dont know if I should report this strange behaviour to Apple. Maybe there are others who have discovered the same issue?
    Let me know pls.
    cheers.

  • Many communication issues between Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge since update

    Since I upgraded Photoshop to the CC 2014 version, I've had many issues on using Ps and Bridge together.  Here they are:
    1. Mini Bridge is absent
    2. When clicking to "Browse in Bridge" from Photoshop, the window for my Creative Cloud app opens instead with a message asking whether I am sure if I want to update to "this version of Bridge" (image below). I already updated Bridge and re-installed it, but the same problem keeps occurring.
    3. This one is the most frustrating one: the tools menu in Bridge does not show the options for opening images in Photoshop anymore.  This was invaluable when working with Bridge and Photoshop at the same time.
    The thing is that these issues have been going on for a long, long time, and I don't see any messages from Adobe to at least explain the reason for such blunders.  There are many people complaining of the same issues here in this forum, so how come no fixes, no responses from Adobe yet?
    Please let me know if you've found a fix for this.
    Many thanks!

    I do not use the bridge often mostly just use it to edit metadata.  I never remember tools being available in the right click on thumbnails menu list. Tools a bridge menu in its manu bar when all start-up scripts are enabled Photoshop should be in it.. If the start-up scripts are not enable you must enable them and then restart the Bridge for them to be available. My Bridge CC tools menu after being updated for CC 2014 has the same tools menu option Photoshop with 8 items. Are you writing you no longer have a Bridge CC tools menu with Photoshop and the 8 options?  I use windows and though I use Adobe Bridge CC 64 bit version the startup script folder that seems to be used for Adobe Bridge CC 64 bit is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" Program File (x86) don't know why and in there there should be a file "bridge-6.jsx"  I also see a "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" with the same file in it however Adobe Bridge CC 64Bit seems to use the Programs Files (x86) path for when I put my startup script for X's Image Processor Pro into the Programs Files path Bridge CC 64bit did not list it as an available startup script. Adobe software is far from being bug free.  I have no idea where startup bridge scripts reside your Mac use finder to make sure there is a  "bridge-6.jsx"  startup script...

  • Many Initial Issues - Please advise

    I got two identical new MBP on Wed at the Apple store. I had Time Machine backups from two other older MBP that I used. I ran each of those on the new laptops. Since then, one has been perfect. The other has had many issues...
    - Already one crash
    - Insanely long start up times (currently trouble shooting this)
    - The trackpad skips and freezes constantly
    - The fans are nearly running at 100% all the time now. I think this has to do with start-up, but not sure.
    I have run disk permission repair. I have clean cache files. I have run and cleaned out tons of other stuff, with no luck. SHortly, I'm going to do the P,R,Alt,Apple in just a min to see if that does anything.
    Any other ideas? Anyone suggest I just take it back? I was told I have 3 days buyer's remorse with no fees and stuff. Is it possible I just have a lemon? I really do not want to spend the time on a clean install and testing for another day or two... that puts me over that 3 day limit, then I have to pay restocking fees, etc.

    Thank you all for your insights. I stayed up until 6am last night (this morning) trouble shooting. After a few clean installs, restores, etc. I did a clean install, then restore, then an archive & install. That seems to have fixed the problem. The problems only manifested after my restore. But the last time I did an archive/install so all the system files are fresh and not from my TM restore. When using a TM backup, there is an option to not copy over your system/library files, unfortunately this option was checked and grayed out, so I didn't have the option NOT to install those files.
    I do still have one whole day. I'm putting it through it's paces today, and if there's any problems at all, I will return it and hopefully just get a new one right there.
    Thank you all again. If anyone has specific insight into why this happens, I would still like your input.

  • Logic Pro X and Yosemite issues

    It seems I have some very basic issues with Logic Pro X 10.0.7 after upgrading to Yosemite OS on my MacBook Air:
    1. Zooming the main window by swiping two fingers apart or together on the mouse pad does not work anymore.
    2. Adjusting the length of audio regions in the main window does not work anymore. It works as usual on midi tracks, but when I hover the end of an audio region the brackets just do not appear. I have now used automation to silence the bit that I wanted to shorten, but that is more of a hassle.
    I have tried restarting Logic Pro X, restarting the MacBook and looked for any settings that may have been changed, but to no avail.
    Do these issues sound familiar to anyone? Any thought on how to fix?

    1) Zooming
    the zooming with the swipe gesture was always problematic, but it is now only happening in the Audio FIles Editor and to some extend in the Score Editor. All the other windows work fine on my machine.
    2) Resize Tool
    Works fine without a problem in the Main Window and the Editor windows. Of course, you can resize in the Audio FIles Editor.
    Hope that helps

  • Yosemite issues on Retina MacBook Pro

    I have some issues on my rMBP:
    1. The user picture on startup screen is zoomed in like it is not ~@2x
    2. When entering my profile it looks like Yosemite changes the resolution of my screen
    3. Sometimes Finder stops working, the file and folders names are shown as black rectangles and not clickable. Only restating Finder fixes the issue

    Hi, thanks for the info, I followed the steps with no luck (by the way fixed my WIFI problems!! )
    Finally I got the solution:
    System Preferences > Accessibility > Display > Reduce Transparency.
    After that, the GUI is as fast as before.
    Hope this help

  • Inheritance and One-To-Many Mapping Issue

    Are there any known issues with TopLink 4.6 mapping a one-to-many relationship where the classes in the list span more than 2 levels deep in the inheritance chain? We seem to notice that TopLink creates the class that is 2 levels deep before the owning class.

    Sorry for the delayed response to your post. I'm not sure I follow what you mean by "owning class". You have a 1-M mapping where the M has inheritance. Are you mapping to the root of the inhertance hierarchy, or to a leaf class? I.e., do you have a 1-M "Company - Employee" or a 1-M "Company - SalariedEmployee". In this example, what would you call the "owning class"?
