I run gnome 3.4.2 and my laptop goes to sleep even though I set the laptop lid close action to "blank." I used gnome-tweak

You are still using acpid. That is triggering the suspend, not logind.
Edit: Also use [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without the spaces) for things like your logs. Hit the "quote" button if you are more of a visual learner.
This is how you use code tags.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button. Worked fine before Lion update. Any Advice?

Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine.
Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway.
Oh well...
Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out. Thanks very much for responding!!!

KDE4 ignores font hinting settings [solved: qt bug, fixed in 4.5]

Full hinting enabled in Gnome and KDE:
Slight hinting enabled in Gnome and KDE:
KDE seems to ignore the hinting settings. It's present in ~/.fonts.conf, also Qt3 apps work fine.
I would like to use slight hinting everywhere, but KDE4 defaults to full hinting anyway
Google wasn't very helpful on this issue, and I found no mention of it in the KDE bugzilla.

Edit2: Oops, ignore my patch - it doesn't work. Qt4 doesn't even use cairo.

The only thing I added was the /usr/sbin/pm-suspend.
When I run /usr/sbin/pm-suspend from a terminal, the suspend works fine, but when I try to use the close lid suspend I have trouble resuming. When I open the lid, the laptop starts making noises and lights up (as if it were to resume), but after a while it goes and suspends again.
Pushing the power button to try to resume (this is how I successfully resumed from the commandline suspend) causes the same behavior to happen, so I ended up just holding down the power button and rebooting.
I tried commenting the /usr/sbin/pm-suspend, and uncommented the default echo line. This caused "LID switched!" to be displayed 3 times on /dev/tty5; each one on the next line further to the right. I'm not sure if that is supposed to be normal behaviour.

The following message appears when I try to turn on the iPad..."Not enough storage..this iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. You can manage your storage in settings." When I tap Close or Settings nothing happens

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

The results show that you have a proxy server set and this can often cause problems with iTunes.
The proxy setting can be accessed in Internet options>>Connections>>LAN Settings.
Try un-checking the proxy server check box.
It might also be a good idea to run a malware check if you didn't know you had the proxy server set.
You can download a free version of an excellent scanner- Malwarebytes here:

OS X 10.5.4 ignoring my preferences settings

I posted this question under a different heading, but after thinking about it I think the multiple symptoms are all attributable to OS X ignoring my preferences settings. I'm experiencing the following problems.
First, after working fine for months (since I got the computer), my mouse no longer registers my right clicks. The right mouse button works just like the main mouse button, even though my preference settings are for the right mouse button to be enabled.
Second, after working fine since the beginning, Spaces no longer opens applications in the space they are assigned. E.g., I have safari and mail assigned to space 2, and word and excel to space 1. They used to open correctly in their assigned space, but now they all open in whichever space is the active one. Again, the settings in the Spaces pref's pane remain unchanged.
Third, I had set my security preferences to require a password to wake from screensaver. The preferences remain unchanged, but now the computer wakes from the screensaver without requiring a password.
Fourth, I have the program "Text Expander" installed. It works as a preferences pane, but now no longer functions even though all settings in the preferences pane for the program remain unchanged.
All of this started last week. Logging out and back in does not correct the problem. I tried rebooting on Friday, which did solve all of these problems. After coming back to work after the weekend, the problems are back, and rebooting no longer solves them. I also tried trashing my finder preferences, but this did not seem to help.
Any advice appreciated.
- Tom

Thank you for the reply and the advice. I downloaded MainMenu and ran the various scripts, including repair permissions, and then rebooted. This didn't fix the problem. I then added a new account to see if the problem was restricted to my own account or was system wide. The new account worked properly, and then after switching back, my main account also worked...
Until this morning, when it was not working again. I rebooted again, and currently the Mac is responding to the System Preferences settings. (We'll see how long this lasts, though.)
A couple of additional things I noticed while the Mac was not responding to system preferences:
Fast user switching, although enabled, did not work and the account name did not appear in the menu bar;
Items that I had dragged off of the dock reappear after logging on again.

Once I have downloaded email on my iPad the same is not downloaded on my laptop. Have tried all settings including choosing the setting DELETE FROM SERVER:NEVER and REMOVE FROM SERVER:NEVER

Hey rbrylawski, just wanted to let you know that my ipad email problems have been solved. Called Apple Sup in OZ, I'm in NZ. Daniel Barber was the support tech from heaven!! I was about to return the ipad but solving this issue reset my faith in phone support.....perhaps until I call a differnet companys phone support eh? Anyhow, for reference the fix is below. My accounts are all POP not IMAP, and the primary smtp server setting had defaulted to have SSL switched on and the port was set to 5XX (something, cant remember). Anyhow, SSL was switched off and the port was swithced to 25. VOILÀ!! Settings/Mail, contacts, calendars/My POP mail account/smtp/primary server/ >>> server on, no username and password, use SSL off, no authentication, Server Port 25 Thanks for having a crack at it. This might help when assisting another user. Cheers Tonino

Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Hi all,
Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings. I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name. This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues. Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve: incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors. If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out". When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine. I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices... But use your own judgment. I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system. When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button. When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address. I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem). Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day. Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
Hope that helps some of you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

HT4859 I have the error message "Not enough storage. Cannot backup, not enough backup space in ICloud . . . ", but now the "close" and "settings" buttons don't respond and I cant get the IPad to open so I can go change settings. What do I do?

For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.
