Strange lines/guides in composition window

Can someone tell me how to get rid of these lines in my composition window. I'm not sure what i hit, but they appeared and now I can't get them to go away. They even show when all the layers are turned off. See screen shot. Any Ideas?

Mail composition window expands off screen

If I reply to an email or create a new email and start to type the email address, the composition window extends about 75% off screen. Does anybody have an idea of what is causing this? I do not believe I have changed my settings and have not installed any new software.

I take it you're talking about the dropdown panel in Rules panel in Mail > Preferences, when you click Edit?
You must have a rule with a whole lot of conditions and/or actions.
What is your screen resolution?
I just experimented a bit, and suspect it's a bug, not "bad design". I notice as I add lines, and the panel approaches the bottom of the screen, the scroll bars appear, so the panel quits growing, as it should, but only 2 lines after they should. It looks to me like the height of the tool bar isn't being considered properly.
If that's what you're seeing, report it that way in the +Mail and Address book+ forum. If others see the same behavior, one of the top posters there may be able to report it, or you can call AppleCare and they can tell you how.
I doubt this is a condition many folks would see, so it probably hasn't come up often, if ever.
If I misunderstand what's happening, please clarify.

Strange lines appearing behind itunes

I went away for the holidays, and when I got back I booted up my 2006 iMac. Today for the first time, there are strange lines appearing behind iTunes whenever it is open but not the active window. I tried quitting and restarting iTunes, but the lines come back. I wish I could upload a screen shot of what this looks like on my desktop, it's very weird. It does not happen behind any other program window. Only iTunes. The lines appear as if they are extensions of the iTunes window formatting, in line with the side bars, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips for getting it to quit?

I just wanted to add that I am also seeing the same problem: strange lines around the borders of the iTunes window. The most obvious ones are a set of four vertical lines running parallel to both sides of the iTunes window, although there are other strange bits as well, mostly around the top corners of the window, as well as a single thin horizontal line above the top of the iTunes window. These unusual lines started appearing "out of the blue" sometime in the past few weeks -- as in, not right after an update or any other configuration change to my mac... The only change I can say I did recently was to update to OS 10.6.6, although I know others who are running 10.6.6 and aren't having this issue with iTunes. I also wanted to add that in my case, I only see these strange lines when iTunes is the active window. Further to that, updating to iTunes 10.1.2 does not fix the problem, unfortunately.

Strange lines in pixel-preview mode

Hi! I have a problem.
When I'm drawing something with two windows (one is usual other in pixel preview) I have some strange white lines in pixel preview window. How can I solve it?
Hope picture will clarify my question.
Link to full size picture: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33643074/white-lines.png

There are no white lines in output icon. These lines are not objects, they are just bugs of Illustrator. When I zoom out and immediately zoom in window with pixel preview - white lines dissapear. But when I change something in usual window (moving any object or rotate) these lines appear again (only in pixel-preview window)!

Strange lines on my screen

Recently I have noticed strange lines appearing on the screen of my MacBook Pro - they appear and disappear randomly. I have noticed it especially on and around icons, as well as around the edges of Finder windows. Today it escalated to the point where I couldn't see anything on the screen (see attached screenshot). My computer is about 3 years old and I haven't had any problems with it.
I just recently upgraded to Mavericks - could this have anything to do with it? The problem started shortly thereafter.
Please help!!

Speckles in shadows AND strange lines in highlights

I've found that I get strange lines in highlights and intense constellations of speckles in shadows when changing treatment from colour to greyscale and back to colour in Lightroom 2.5. A reimported copy of the image will not display the effect. If I change nothing else, switching to library view makes the artifacts go away, back to develop and they reappear. If I change anything else, they are there to stay. The exported file includes the artifacts. My CPU is an Athlon XP (so no SSE2), OS is Windows XP SP3 32-bit. Images are from a Sony A700 fw v.4. Just thought I'd see if anyone else who wasn't on a PowerPC Mac is having these issues with this release as well?

Yes. At least one more non-Power PC user reported this.

Lots of crashing, freezing, and strange lines on screen after recent update

I dutifully update the software when asked and suddenly I have all the following symptoms. Any advice? Thanks!
AD
1. A small line appears in some windows; it's multi-colored and about 3 pixels high. It goes away when I resize or play with the window.
2. My computer crashes more often when being woken up from sleeping by pressing the mouse button; I will press my mouse to wake up the computer and it just shuts off. This has happened for the past year but happens much more frequently this week after the recent update. I took it in to the apple store months ago and they could not repeat it. It happened 3x today.
3. A few programs have frozen / stopped responding, way too more frequently than normal.
Thanks!

Hi again Andy, I don't make it over here to Leo very often.
Here's what I'd try...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Leo clears a lot more caches than Tiger does in Safe boot.

T-Bird keeps automatically switching from composition window to main window while I am typing, which leads to typed letters being interpreted as hotkey commands

Hi,
Since I switched to Windows 8, I've had this problem with T-Bird. Updates and safe mode have not fixed it.
Basically, while I am composing a mail, t-bird automatically switches to the main window. Because I am in the middle of typing, it usually freezes for a moment, sometimes longer and goes transparent and a (Not Responding) appears, but usually unfreezes and then interprets all the intervening keystrokes as commands. All sorts of damage is done: messages deleted, threads hidden, sometimes a "go to last unread message" box appears. It's a real drag.
I thought it might be a keystroke combination that is making the program change windows, but I'm fairly sure I've seen it switch when I just have the composition window idly open. I think it may be switching whenever T-bird checks for new mail.
One thing to mention: I often switch between US English keyboard layout and Portuguese language layout. I haven't systematically tested whether it happens in one or the other, but the POR layout has some accent marks here and there. still, I've been careful not to accidentally touch the CNTRL key and as I say, I've seen it switching while idle.
Any help is appreciated. It's getting to the point where I can't really use T-Bird any more and am sadly looking for alternatives.
Thanks,
BL

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

How do I switch to HTML in the composition window

I normally compose messages in plain text, and digitally sign them. However, on occasion I'll want to embed a picture, so I want to switch to HTML. The only way I've found to do that is to change the account setting before bringing up a composition window. I'd prefer to switch to HTML for just that message, and do it from the composition window. Have a missed a feature somewhere that does this?

Thanks for the tip. Would like an entry in one of the pull down menus for this.

Simple how-to guide to adding windows 7 64-bit to mavericks as a virtual machine (Virtual Box)

Simple how-to guide to adding windows 7 64-bit to mavericks as a virtual machine (Virtual Box)
Why use a Virtual Machine: Sometimes you need to run a windows only program. A VM lets you do that without rebooting your machine.
How is it different from Mac Boot Camp: Boot camp allows you to run windows but you must reboot your machine. It is faster and smoother than a VM (and with fullscreen details below), but you have to reboot for each use.
Is it possible to have a VM and Boot Camp: Yes, and I do this because sometimes I want to use a VM quickly without shutting down, sometimes I want the advantages of Boot Camp

Proceed to setup Win with your preferences
Type product key from your OS purchase or an existing one that you are moving from another machine
Note: Screen resolution may be very limited on the virtual machine. I use resolution 800 X 600 so that all of the desktop is visible.
I suggest using a windows gadget to view the CPU and Memory usage > On desktop mac-right-click i.e. separate fingers and click both > Gadgets > CPU Meter
Enjoy having Windows on your Mac!

I have found a solution to the screen being smaller in the windows 7 virtual machine. First right-click in the desktop region and select screen resolution. It is probably set to 800 X 600 by default which is much less than the screensize you are using. To determine your native screensize, go to your mac and finder > applications > utilities > hardware > graphics displays. Mine is 1440 X 900 for macbook air. Then go back into the virtual machine and sceen resolution settings. Choose a screen resolution which is slightly less in all dimensions so that there is no clipping and you do not have to scroll when viewing. For me this was 1152 X 864. Then exit saving changes and with the VM in view press command - F (or at the menu bar View > Switch to full screen), which puts you in full screen mode. Now you should have a screen with minimal gray empty space filling the majority of your screen

Any Guide to install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on Retina 13??

Any Guide to install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on Retina 13?? Is it possible??? I was able to install Win7, but stuck on a blue black screen on self-restart after Installing Win8.. The same iso works fine with Oracle VM... Any help? Many Thanks....

Try parallels.com. It is a virtual machine which you can have Mac and Windows both running at the same time. I currently have it installed on my Macbook Pro 13" Non Retina and it works great!
I know for a fact Windows 8 is compatible and it is also Mountain Lion compatible as well.

Extract the image file to the drive exposing its files:

Locate your image (iso) file, example: /Users/Christoper/Downloads/X17-58997.iso.download/X17-58997.iso
Destination disk is your USB flash drive that was formatted to fat32, if it does not appear it may be in the wrong format
Click continue, this process takes a long time (30 mins - 1.5 hour estimated), it may appear that it is freezing because progress bar stops at times, do not stop it, let it keep running. If you are unsure it is still going, open finder > click the drive > get info, and look at the size of the files. Then close finder wait a few seconds, get info again and see that file size is slightly larger. The final file size was 4+ GB for me

It will ask you to select a size of your Harddrive space for Windows OS, this will eat up some of the free space on your Mac HD. How much space is enough for a Windows OS? Depends on how many programs you plan to install on it. If you are just using for surfing web and running MS Office, probably 30-40 GB is enough, and this is what I did. Remember this space will be used up from your existing HD and not usable when you are in Mac OS. This process takes about 10 mins I think
Install Win 7 OS:
With USB drive in port or DVD in drive, restart laptop.
It will bring up the Win 7 installer on boot up
Select the OS type that you have a registered key for
It will ask you to find a HD to use for Win 7 OS:
Select the HD you just created, if you try to continue it will complain that HD is wrong format (because MAC formatted it to a MAC compatible HD, we will fix this)
Select the HD, there is a button to the right for "advanced" I believe is the text of it. It will allow you to reformat the drive, choose NTFS which it requires. Then proceed
Proceed to setup Win with your preferences
Type product key from your OS purchase or an existing one that you are moving from another machine

By default it selects Windows as your default OS to boot at power up, most people want Mac OSX to be the default, so this can be changed:

Maintianing multiple line items in main window in scripts

Hi folks,
i want to print multiple line items in main window of script for eg 50 line items then my main window should continue in second page also. how to maintain this.
can u provide me sample code for this..
Thx in advance,
Neelima.N

You have an internal table with 50 lines, is it correct?
Let's say, there's a MATNR field in your internal table.
First do, what I wrote in my previous comment.
The create an element in yout main window, like this:
/E LINE_ITEMS
/ &GS_MAIN-MATNR&
In your printer program you have to code the following:
LOOP AT gt_main INTO gs_main.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
EXPORTING
WINDOW = 'MAIN'
ELEMENT = 'LINE_ITEMS'.
ENDLOOP.
This code will loop all 50 of your table entries.
In the MAIN window will fit 30 entries.
When the LOOP is reaching the 30th entry, SAP will automatically create a new page (because of the NEXT PAGE statement you set in the page settings in the SAPScript) and will continue the printing.
Regards
Tamá

Mail: typing my own email address in composition window PROBLEM

This is a weird problem which arose in the last few weeks. When I type my own email address in a composition window, Mail will add a bunch of HTTP like text to the text. Here is an example in which I have changed my real address to a fake one:
This is my email mail@http://www.http://www.http://www.fakedomain.comcomcomcom.
This does NOT happen with any other addresses, just mine, which is the same address setup in my accounts. If I try using the delete key to remove the faulty text, it just keeps adding more of the same. ***? I'm perplexed.
Any ideas?
Mail version 4.2 (1077)
OS 10.6.2

The following test might be helpful in deciding what to try next: Create a New User Account, and as that New User try to set up at least one account -- if POP set to leave messages on the server. If not familiar with setting up a New User Account, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
This will be a useful test to now check this behavior in another User Account, and of course is not meant to suggest a permanent switch to the New User Account, but rather a test of the Mail application outside of your normal User Account, and hopefully outside the use of Mail Unread. You could then set that User up to use Mail Unread, and see if the same happens there.

Composite windows and Fle dialogs

Hi everyone,
I am working on a GUI object of type Composite which has a text field and a (Browse) button. It has been programmed so that when the user presses the Browse button, a file dialog opens up. Now the problem that i am having is that after the file dialog opens up i am still able to bring the Composite window, sitting in the background, up front by clicking on it which i don't want. I have tried using the setEnabled() method on the Composite but it just disables the browse button and the text field, but does not completely block the user from the composite window since one can still bring it up front. Is there any way to achieve the following functionality?
The user clicks browse the file dialog opens and as long as the user selects the file the file dialog is active and the composite window in the background remains inactive, once the user has selected the file the composite becomes active again.
This is just like if, in your Internet browser, you click file->open and out pops the web address input window where you type in the web address of the web page you want to visit. During this time you can't click on anything in the background unless and until you close the web address input window. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

As suggested above if you are using JFileChooser then
is is automatically displayed as a modal dialog.
If you are creating your own FileDialog, then you
need to make the dialog modal and specify the JFrame
as the parent when you create the dialog.Thanks for support.
