Something wrong with icons in remotely run applications
I'm running some applications with GUI via ssh with X11Forwarding enabled. Suddenly icons in these applications started to be drawn with strange black (for claws-mail) or white (for midori) borders. For example, this screenshot shows claws-mail's interface:
Do you have any ideas about what could cause this effect?
PS. Both systems are Arch Linux, with similar versions of all packages. They have Gnome as a DE.
In order to test things I booted into ArchBang Live-CD in a VirtualBox VM and tried to run Abiword via ssh from there. And the icons were looking correctly.
What can be missing in my Arch installation that is present in ArchBang and is causing icons to look that strange?

Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps. This problem started ever since I upgraded to version 5.
I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall. -
Is there something wrong with Quicktime and TIFFs?
I've been trying to see with Firefox the TIFF images of patents at the USPTO site and I can't. The browser advises me to install the missing plug-in although Quicktime is already installed. I wonder if it's a Quicktime problem or a Firefox one. I have a reason to believe there's something wrong with Quicktime though. Read on to see why.
On my system the *TIFF Image Test* (from mozdev.org) fails although I have the latest Quicktime plug-in. This happens regardless of the browser I use, all latest editions: Firefox 3.6, Internet Explorer 8 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) and Chrome 4. All seem to fail to recognize the presence of the installed Quicktime although my Windows OS is set to open TIF/TIFF files with Quicktime/PictureViewer.
Running about:plugins on my Firefox does show the Quicktime plug-in for a variety of files but NOT for opening embedded TIF/TIFFs. Also, when I open *Tools -> Options -> Applications* I see there is no registered handler for TIF/TIFFs. They don't appear on the known Content Types.
Is there something wrong with the installation of Quicktime? I can see USPTO TIFF images only with Safari which appears to have an integrated TIFF viewer. I haven't tried to install alternatiff or any other alternative TIFF handler.DocBAZ,
I tried to visit the "test site" above. I'm not really sure it's an embedded image on a HTML page because I get a Firefox download window and a suggestion to open it with PictureViewer, which is the expected behavior for downloadable images. The mozdev.org test page on the other hand had an embedded image that needed the plugin, which is what is bugging me.
If you want a real complex test page with both an embedded TIFF and a downloadable one check AlternaTIFF here: http://www.alternatiff.com/testpage.html
Indeed the changes I made were in the QuickTime preferences, not PictureViewer which has no settings to change. And yes, Windows 7 has a unique place to deal with file types and MIME settings.
You will find some interesting suggestions over the problem at SuperUser.

How do I import my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, when I press import I just get a message saying there is something wrong with one of my photos and disconnects my iPhone.
I couldn't find Image Capture at my first try, butI will try again. Do you inow how I can find the corrupted photo on my iPhone? Im a bit lost..
Sorry, I just noticed, I made a mistake. "Image Capture" is in the Applications folder, not Utilities. And it may have a different name on your Mac, if your system language is not English: Look for the icon with the camera:
When Image Capture can import from your iPhone, spilt the folder with the imported photos in several small subfolders and try to import them separately to iPhoto. This way, you can identify a subset of photos with the corrupted one.
Then try to import from that small subset one by one, until you hit the culprit. And then delete that photo or video from the phone. -
just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if I have a setting wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Double click the home button (square) and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
Good luck hope it works. -
Is there something wrong with a Oscar Gomez Fuentes 2Channel oscilloscope
Is there something wrong with a Oscar Gomez Fuentes 2Channel oscilloscope or are my devices configured wrong. I have DAQCard-6036E and SCC-2345 with SCC-Ft01 and SCC-A10 modules. The problem is that when I am measuring with A10 it effects to FT01's RMS and DC values. But when I am measuring with Ft01 everything is ok. So what's wrong?? I attached a picture of a front panel.
Attachments:
front_panel.JPG 132 KBNeuvos,
Do any of the signals you are measuring have high output impedances (> 1 kOhm)? If so, you may be seeing cross-talk (or ghosting). Below, I have included links to a number of documents that discuss this issue and methods for eliminating it:

Is there something wrong with my Retina Macbook Pro?
I have been looking at the Geekbench scores for the new retina model with 2.6GHz and 8GB of RAM and they are getting around 11-12 thousand as there final score. When I do it (I have the 2.6GHz model), I receive a score between 5-6 thousand. Is something wrong with my computer, or what?
You can't really do a benchmark on your MB if you're running on batteries.
Keep in mind, when you're running on batteries, your MB is not using your CPU's full potential since it's on power saving mode.
Too do a proper benchmark, your MB must be plugged in to take advantage of your CPU's full power and your graphic card's power.
I for one do not follow benchmarks anymore. I used to when I used to build my own gaming rig with all the bells and whistles.
But to be honest, you will never, ever put your MB in such extreme.
If you're still not satisfied with your MB's performace, you can either follow or ignore my or sig's comments. -
Is there something wrong with my battery?
Hi everyone! I have an Iphone 5 that was newly "remodeled" for tmobile. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my battery after a recent decline in performance. I am updated to the latest iOS and I recently restored all of my settings on my phone in an attempt to increase battery performance, leaving only wifi on location for weather. With my current usage and standby, do I have something to be concerned about? I know some individuals that have my usage and will have a standby time of over a day. Advice and opinions is very much appreciated.
Usage and Standby the same means that there is an app on your phone that is running continuously. Usually its an app choking on bad data, or trying to send and failing. There are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
Mail is a common culprit, especially if you have a Microsoft Exchange email account. If you do, go to Settings/mail,contacts,calendar, tap on the Exchange account, and turn off the switches. Then back out of settings and restart the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Then turn the switches back on. This clears the mail, contacts and calender queues. It will take a while to resync content, so don't check battery condition until the resync is finished. And its best to do this with a WiFi connection as a lot of data may go by.
If that doesn't fix it do the same with your iCloud account, and any other Push accounts you may have (Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, AOL).
Next, look for apps that run in background (most of the apps in the Quick Launch ribbon do not run in background, but a few do - music and video streaming apps, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger, Whatsapp, etc). Kill them in the quick launch ribbon by pressing HOME twice to display it, then hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each one. It won't do any harm to kill them all.
Note that if you have Google Maps installed and you asked it for directions it won't stop tracking you until you actually kill it in the Quick Launch ribbon.
good luck and report back!
BTW, you will see a lot of posts blaming some specific version, now 6.1.4 (because it's the newest). But you will see just as many reports for 6.1.3, 6.1.2, ...5.1,...4.1...3.0, etc. It's nothing wrong with the version (except for 2.1, which had a real bug), it seems to be caused for some people by the upgrade process itself. But there are also many people who encounter this symptom far away in time from any upgrade. -
Not Enough Memory or Something Wrong with Printer error
My Epson 820 printer works fine and I can print a nozzel check pattern from the printer utility software. However, I can't print from any of my software. I keep getting the error "Something Wrong with Printer" or from some software I get "Not Enough Memory".
I'm not having any other problems and can do complex graphics in Photoshop without any memory issues. I've checked my printer setup and it clearly sees my printer. My Epson 820 also shows up in the Printing Options dialog box.
Any suggestions?Thanks for these suggestions. I believe it's my computer. I've started having additional problems. I opened a .pdf in Acrobat Reader and tried to print. After that I couldn't shut down my computer. Alarmed, I connected my firewire backup disk and backed up my hard drive. Then when I tried to eject the external drive, it didn't allow me to disconnect. It reappeared with the disk icon and a second folder labeled as the external drive but showing the drive was empty. I shut down and rebooted; all my files are in tact on the external drive but there's definitely a computer issue here.
Any suggestions how I should proceed? -
Could there be something wrong with my 4S dock connector?
So a while ago my iPhone's usb cord stopped working, so I bought a new one of the same type. Then that one broke, but I found out it still charged when I plugged my iPhone in, although the lightning icon that appears next to my battery onscreen didn't appear and it charges extremely slowly (like maybe 20% an hour, 25% at best, and around 10% at its slowest - and this is when my phone is off.) One of my relatives found out the wires inside the usb cord were messed up or something, and something of the usb cord wasn't tight enough so if the cord got pulled too hard it would get mess up the cord's wires again and stop charging my phone. Even then, it still didn't charge like the way it did when I first got it (icon next to onscreen battery, quickly, etc.) Soon enough, the cord stopped working again and I got so tired with it I just decided to buy a whole different type one. Here is the link to it: https://www.opensky.com/3d-luxe/product/iphone-4-4s-cable-usb-charger-sync-cord- 10-feet-new-steel-design-strongest-cable-on-market
This time, the icon still doesn't appear, although it does charge fairly faster than my broken ones last time (it charges about 22% in half an hour now when my phone's off). Then I tried plugging the cord into my laptop, but the usual iTunes did not appear, and my laptop notified me that the device was not working properly, and if I plugged it back in again and it still doesn't work then there may be something wrong with my device. Now I'm really confused because this cord is brand new, so how could it not work? I'm certain my laptop is working perfectly fine, so the only two possibilities that I can think of now is either the dock connector is not working for some reason, or the usb cord is not working. I really doubt the usb cord is not working, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.
Please help me on this. I've only had an iPhone for 3 months and it's already having so many problems.If you have only had the phone (from brand new) for 3 months, it is covered by the 1 year limited warranty. You should make an appointment at a genius bar to have the device examined.
-Regarding third party cables - they do not always work.

I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
<Edited By Host>The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -

There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator. However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.
