Spaces and background problems

I always have 30 spaces even if I delete them. I've also changed the background and when I restart de iMac it turns to the old one. Why? How can I sove it?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
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.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Watermark, color space, and transparency problem

I'm having a problem with inserting a watermark image into my pdfs.
I created the watermark image in Photoshop. It is 8-bit gray with a transparent background. I saved it as a pdf (pdf 1.4 to allow transparency).
The main pdfs (to be watermarked) are created through a seperate process (they are scans of old book pages). The pdfs are produced from 8-bit gray tiff images, but I cannot determine what color space the these pdfs are.
To the problem: in Acrobat 9, when I insert the watermark above, all of the blacks on the page shift to grey, as if the opacity was shifted lower. The opacity is set to 100%, so this should not be a problem! The watermark does have a transparent background, though.
Since this seems to be a color space conflict, if I save the watermark PDF in CYMK or RGB, it does not cause the tonal shift (blacks remain true), but the watermark now has an opaque background. I need it to be transparent, as the background of the files to be watermarked are not tonally consistent (old discolored paper).
I guess these are my questions:
(1) Is there any way to determine the color space of a PDF? File->Properties does not list color space.
(2) Why does the watermark PDF, saved in CYMK or RGB, not allow a transparent background? Is this an Acrobat issue or color space?
(3) Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this? :)
Thanks a bunch.

First, I have 2 questions: 1) How do the color and watermark background look when you have Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview open? 2) What version of Acrobat are you working in?
The most common reason that people see an almost "washed out" appearance (or looking as though additional opacity is applied) is due to a bug in Acrobat 8. This was fixed in the 8.1 dot release. One way to determine if this is what you are running into is to view the file with the Output Preview dialog open. If it views correctly then, make sure you have the update installed.
I don't work with watermarks, but understanding the general concept of watermarks it seems like a reasonable guess that they would use overprinting. I'm wonder if this is what is affecting the display of them (non-transparent background) since Acrobat needs Overprint Preview ON to accurately display objects with overprint flags . As with above, turning on Output Preview will help you deduce if that's what is happening since Output Preview automatically enables Overprint Preview (which is off by default).
BTW, Preflight will let you know what color spaces are in PDF file. Run any Profile. In the results panel, drop down the "Overview" section. There you will find a color spaces section listing the color spaces of the document.

GDM and OpenBox - Wallpaper and background problem [SOLVED]

I have a strange problem.
I am using GDM as login manager. And I am using OpenBox as a window manager.
As soon as GDM appears on the screen, my wifi connection is connected... so its good.
But, when I login Feh loads my background picture and it disappears after few seconds..... I solved this modifying the autostart script (adding the sleep).
Now background stays, BUT not always. Sometimes it disappears.... sometimes not.
It seams that this problem is appearing randomly.
So my question is:
Is there a way to disable Gnomes (GDMs) background color and picture after loading openbox through GDM?

It will apply to gnome as well, so if gnome-settings-daemon is your problem then you either need to choose one environment or perhaps do some settings adjustment with gconftool-2 when you log into each environment. I didn't try this but settings for openbox could be changed with a couple of gconftool-2 lines in autostart.sh, e.g.
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/background/draw_background "false" &
and settings for gnome could be changed from a DE-specific ("OnlyShowIn=GNOME") .desktop file or two in $HOME/.config/autostart.
I tried this, but it didnt work. Its a Gnome 3.
I dont understand second part of your post... ("OnlyShowIn=GNOME")

Spaces and Safari: problem opening new browser windows

I have just installed 10.5 and have turned on spaces. I have put safari into its own space. When I control click on a hyperlink and select 'open in new window' from the submenu the new window does not open. I can open a new tab but new windows do not appear. The windows don't appear in any other space either.
Is this a spaces/safari conflict or a safari problem?

Hi John,
I agree with Adam on the <cflocation> tag. I suspect it is a browser setting.
Like in FireFox
Tools/Options/Tabs
[X] Open new windows in a new tab
Like in IE,ver7
Tools/Internet Options/General Tab/Tab Section/Settings button
then bottom section "Open links from other programs in"
[X] A new tab in the current window
Try unchecking these boxes and then try your process again. Not
saying this will correct your issue, but does seem like a browser
issue to me as well and not <cflocation>

Applications and Background problem!

hello.
I have Mac OS version 10.5.4.
Processor: 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
memory: 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Recently i had firefox and wanted to get my safari browser back so i put the original Mac OS disk in to install the bundled software to get safari back!
All was good, safari was back but since then many applications like iphoto wont open as soon as i click launch ill get this message:
I could keep clicking re-launch all day but the same message comes up every time and never opens.
Also i can't change my background on my desktop, i get this message:
I don't actually know what's happened obviously but this has started since i did this 'bundled software' thing. Iphoto is not the only application by the way, Front row and a few others don't work which is annoying!
Any help?

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update . This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
Let us know.

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

Does the iTunes Store need to reset my subscription or is this a fix I can do on my iPad

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of yopur Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Spaces and MS Word for Mac 2008..anyone else having this problem

Hello,
I know MS Word for Mac 2008 isn't a Apple Product but is anyone else having the same problem as me and is there a solution?
I have it set up to be in "spaces 4" and I'll be working on it and suddenly it ends up in space 2, or 1. Really aggravating.
Sean

Yes. Exact same problem. Folks at the MS MacBu are aware of it and say that both Apple and MS are working on it. It's still an incredibly annoying problem, though. In fact, it's even worse than you descrine.
Not only does Word 2008 work with spaces, it makes it impossible to use spaces with other applications. I've tried to leave all Word docxs (and docs) in one space and then put other applications in other spaces. It doesn't work. Word doc(x)s still move around randomly.
It's one thing for Word 08 not to work with spaces, but to actually interfere with other apps that do (did) work with spaces, that's pretty bad. I have to admit I feel quite foolish for purchasing Microsoft Office 2008 (at considerable expense). I do at least hope both companies are working on a fix.

Loading and Saving problem in 2D space based rpg

I am implementing a system in which the game saves the offset of the default position of an object in space and the object's position when the game is saved and applying that to the objects when the game is loaded. I get a strange problem however where every other undock after loading the game is far far away in space. I think it has something to do with the saved position of the object you docked with. Here is the code involved in loading the game (it just calls IO.java via dataAgent and gets data from a file)
public void loadGame() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        //load the game
        String[] tmpData = null;
        tmpData = dataAgent.loadGame();
        //interpet the data
        hud.currentDockedCelestialObject = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[0]) - 1;
        player.currentWallet = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[1]) - 1;
        player.currentSolarSystem = space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].solar;
        hud.renderMode = 1;
        hud.player = player;
        hud.space = space;
        hud.dPressed = true; //tell HUD we are docked at something
        //now we need to determine the position of all the celestial objects based on the saved position of the object in question
        int tmpx = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[2]) - 1;
        int tmpy = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[3]) - 1;
        //compare it to the docked celestial
        int changex = space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].positionX - tmpx;
        int changey = space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].positionY - tmpy;
        //apply the offset to all the objects in the current solar system
        for (int i = 0; i < space.length; i++) {
            if (space.solar.matches(player.currentSolarSystem)) {
space[i].positionX += changex;
space[i].positionY += changey;
//now we need to load the ship type
player.ship.type = Integer.parseInt(tmpData[4]);
//configure the shields and hulls
configureLoadedShip();
//finish up
hud.space = space;
hud.player = player;
Configureloadedship() just makes a call to apply the correct weapons and armor to the ship you have. Here is the saving code:public void saveGame() {
//saves the game
String[] toSave = new String[5];
toSave[0] = "" + (hud.currentDockedCelestialObject + 1);
toSave[1] = "" + (hud.player.currentWallet + 1);
toSave[2] = "" + (space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].positionX);
toSave[3] = "" + (space[hud.currentDockedCelestialObject].positionY);
toSave[4] = "" + (hud.player.ship.type);
try {
dataAgent.saveGame(toSave);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
Adding and subtracting 1 durring load and save solved the problem of the java file reader skipping the 0 values in the first few lines of the saved game file.
The game is loaded when the game starts and saved when you dock.
Ty in advance for your help.

public String[] loadGame() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException /*should never be thrown*/ {
        String[] toReturn = null;
        //load the data
        FileReader read = new FileReader(data);
        BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(read);
        String tmp1 = "";
        String tmp2 = "";
        while((tmp1 = buff.readLine())!=null) {
            tmp2 = tmp2 + tmp1+"~";
        //break it into a usable form
        toReturn = tmp2.split("~");
        System.out.println(tmp2);
        return toReturn;
    }and
public void saveGame(String[] toSave) throws IOException {
        FileWriter write = new FileWriter(data);
        BufferedWriter buff = new BufferedWriter(write);
        //clear the old file
        data.delete();
        data.createNewFile();
        //zap the data to the file
        for(int i = 0; i < toSave.length; i++) {
            buff.write(toSave);
buff.newLine();
//write
buff.flush();
}They are basically just buffered readers and writers.

Problem: There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again.

Hi there.
I am running the newest FCPX 10.0.9 and Mavericks, and I am editing a large multicam project. I have approx. 190 GB left on my external event/project disk via USB3 (it has 2TB in total), and I get the error message:
"There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again."
when I am trying to add clips to an angle in one of my multicam clips. I have made more than 8 multicam clips in the same event, without that problem, but now it won't let me add more.
What's the problem?

This was driving me nuts as well until I found the sneaky checkbox. In the editing tab in Preferences there is a checkbox for "Optimize media for multicam." If that's checked, Final Cut is rendering ProRes files for every clip you bring into multicam, so it just eats memory. Unchecking that solved my issues; hope it helps you or anyone who comes across this!

Hi, I have an early 2008 24" iMac, I need more storage space and was wondering if I could fit a 3TB Western Digital Caviar Green HDD into it with out any problems? This is the one I've seen, Western Digital Caviar 3TB SATA 6 GB/s 64MB Cache 3.5 inch

My bad?
You're original response was questions/post about an iMac. Now you've edited it to ask about a Mac Pro?
You can more easily add internal drives in a Mac Pro.
Not too terribly easy to add/replace drives in an iMac.
If younhave questions about a Mac Pro, try posting in the Mac Pro forums.
Much more knowledgeable users there.

WebCenter Space Layout and Customization problems

Hi all,
I am new in Webcenter Space and I wonder is there anyway to do the following tasks:
1) Change the alignment of the left most side bar label (default is align right)
2) Remove the picture for user profile
Also I found that the left side bar item cannot get refreshed/updated after changing settings in personalization page (such as show and hide pages)
I have searched in OTN and there is no similar solution, any pointer is highly appreciated. Thanks

You can publish your customized portlet in the catalog. For this, you have to create a Mashup from the WC Administration > Mashup, add portlet on this mashup from catalog, customize it and then add this mashup in catalog from WC Administration --> Catalog. You will find all these mashups in Taskflows section of Catalog.
Using this approach, you cannot personalize your portlet.
Regards,
Imran
