Strangest problem.....

So I have a user, Mac 10.5.5, Photoshop CS4.
He opens a .png, .tiff, .jpeg and goes to use a tool and on mouse-down, nothing strange everything is fine, but as soon as he moves the mouse, the image goes black, on mouse-up, image comes back.
This happens with the Marquee, Rulers, and Type tools.. Not brushes..
It's happening across Users (even root) I have AppleJack'ed the system and there is no issue in CS3. It's just the strangest thing...
The tools all work, the marquee makes a marching ants box, the ruler tool inserts a line, the type tool works fine..
It's just that when drawing out the marquee box or adjusting it, pulling down a ruler or moving it, or drawing out a type tool box; the image goes black....
So Wierd...

Strangest problem with psd's all of a sudden. Any insight?

Hello everyone! Hope all are well this Saturday evening.
I've encountered the strangest problem that has seem to come out of nowhere.
DVDStudio pro has all of a sudden decided that psd's are incompatible format.
Here is the strangest part, it's doing this on 2 desktops and a laptop all with dvd studio pro.
Not only won't it let me import the new master menu psd file we've created to replace the one that was in there previously, but it won't let me import almost any psd file previously used. Even if I just create a blank psd file from scratch.
Has anyone ever encountered this?
The psd's are in RGB btw and the message it says exactly is
"IMPORT ASSETS
INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT"
I tried saving as a tiff as well and same thing.
I can't think of anything that would make this happen to 3 computers!

I turned the phone off and back on. I hooked up to my computer. I can access the store but when I try to upgrade I get a messge that the phone cannot access the store. I got one of the two apps I was trying to upgrade by frist going to Purchases (in the App Update section) but the other sitll did not work and I got the same message that store cannot be accessed.

Strangest problem ever (USB controller makes G5 go crazy at startup)

OK, this is the strangest thing I've ever seen.
I got a new dual core G5 (2.0 ghz), and have been playing with it and setting it up all day.
At the end of the day I plug in my Playstation 1 dualshock controller via a Radioshack USB adapter. This worked well enough on my G4.
Upon the next shutdown and power on, the G5 fails to display video. Hard drive grinds away, then the internal fans go on hyperspeed. Nothing else. Gotta force it to turn off.
I go through a painful process of elimination and narrowed it down to the Playstation USB controller adapter. No controller plugged in, G5 boots like a champ.
What the?? How is this even possible?
The controller even works if I plug it in and use it while the G5 is turned on. But if it's plugged in at startup, the G5 goes nuts.
How utterly strange....

hi allen
did you resolve the issue?
i have the same problem on my new G5, am about to go through similar process of elimination, all devices worked fine yesterday!!! now can only boot up with keyboard and mouse attached...
any ideas why this happens anyone?

Ok, this is possibly the strangest problem I have ever had...

My ipod will not turn off. I have tried holding the play/pause button, and tried restarting it by holding play/pause and the center button, and nothing has worked. When I leave it idle it does not turn off. It still works just fine, still accepting a charge and all, so I have been able to use it, but it must stay on the charger overnight or the battery will be nearly dead by the time I wake up the next morning. Does anybody have a solution for me that does not involve restoring my ipod? The computer I have all of my music on is acting up right now so all I have is my laptop so transferring all my music will be a major pain as I have very little hdd space on this. Btw it has already been updated to the latest software before this problem arose, so an update is also not possible

It sounds like you tried to do a Reset, but you held down the wrong buttons. Try this:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.

I have the STRANGEST problem with coverart on my iPod!

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my iPod video (30GB), wich I have had for 2 years. All of a sudden it's having problems displaying coverart!
It shows all coverart correctly, EXCEPT of artists with names ranging from 'Ai...' to artists starting with 'Am...'. Of each album of those artists, the coverart can only be seen on about half the songs (per album). The other songs show no coverart...very strange isn't it? Anybody know how this can be, and what can be done to solve it?
Just to make clear: I already deleted those albums/songs, and put them on my iPod again; this didn't work. Also, iTunes does show all covers correctly. Third, the function 'show covers on iPod' is turned on. Never had any coverart problems before; most of the missing covers have never been removed or altered since I added them to my iPod (some a long time ago!)
Hope you can help me! Thanks already!

Why can't you download it? Are you getting an error message? The download doesn't start? What exactly is happening.
You should be able to tap the purchased tab in the iBooks store, find the book, tap the cloud icon next to the book and download it again. You must use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Bible.

Strangest Problem Ever

hey, about a month ago i posted that i could not start up my ibook g4 anymore, froze at loading screen.
i gave the computer to my father to look at and he has made a discovery, the ibook only starts when it is quite cold?
any ideas why this is, how it is fixed etc?
cheers, jonny

Does putting pressure on the area just below the left command/alt keys (that is clamp it solidild with your thumb and fingers around the base of the unit) result in booting?
If so you might be adding yourself to the list of those with the failed BGA on the logic board problem.
Otherwise temperature will have a big effect on any breaks anywhere in the laptop due to the differnt materials expanding and contracting pushing cracks in the boards or wiring closed or apart.

The strangest problem ever!

There is a certain website I visit (it's a password protected company website so I can't post it here) and if I connect using Virgin Media ISP, after clicking about half a dozen links Safari locks up.
If I close Safari and change broadband connections to a different ISP and do the same thing again, there is no locking up. It works fine.
Also, if I change to Chrome or Firefox on either ISP there is no problem.
The problem only exists with this one ISP and with Safari only.
It's crazy but how can that be possible?
Any things I test to locate the problem?

Hi,
Empty the Safari cache either from the menu bar or Command + Option + E
And try troubleshooting the keychain associated with that site.
Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Password on the left. Delete the keychain for the site.
Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure *User names and passwords* is selected.
Navigate to the site and see if that made a difference, if not go back to Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all cookies related to the site and the site again.

WRT54G2 - The Strangest Problem I have ever encountered

Ok, this will take a bit of explaining but I hope someone will be able to help me out. I've set up lots of networks but never run into anything like this before. I may be including more info than necessary, if so sorry but I am not sure if it is important or not. I have a brand new WRT54G2 router. I set it up and it was working beautifully, except it wasn't quite reaching the other end of the apartment. I am cheap so I looked around craigslist for a range extender. Found a cheap, new Belkin F5D7130. The ad just said range extender. I figured it'd be a universal one and but it wasn't because you have to input the RE's Mac address into the router which linksys ones don't do. I saw a post on another board saying you could get it to work by putting the routers MAC into the REs Bridge page. Did this but the signals were getting confused so I admitted defeat and unplugged the RE.
I thought everything was cool cause my Eee was picking up the normal signal fine and I was busy surfing the internet when my roommate comes and tells me her internet is not working. I quickly check my larger comp and internets not working there either. My big comp is connecting to the network and can access the router page but not the internet.
It has an ip you'd expect 192.168.1.100 with a normal default gateway etc.
My Eee is connecting to the internet fine(it's what I am typing on now) but can't access the router and it is giving me a strange ip 72.253.190.209 with the default gateway 72.253.184.1. Both of these are getting their ip automatically.
This is odd I thought so I did the first thing everyone trys, I did a full reset of the router. I figured back to factory settings and I'll put everything back to normal. After the reset everything is still eff'd up but with the SSID back to linksys.
Eee still has the odd ip and default gateway but is working fine. My other PC is still not connecting to the internet but can access the router fine. I tried plugging the ip info from my Eee manually into my other comp and connecting but got no connection.
The router status page shows nothing for the host name or Domain name while the ip, subnet mask, and default gateway are all reading 0.0.0.0 No DNS's show and the MTU is 1500 Before anyone asks, yes they are connected to the same router, my router.
Frankly I have not a clue what is going on or how to fix it and my roomie is getting angry that I eff'd up the router and now her internet doesn't work. Any help or suggestions someone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
More weirdness right as I was about to post this, my Eee’s internet stopped working and my big comp’s started to. Upon closer inspection they have switched ip’s and all the other info. Everything in the router is still the same. God I have no idea what is going on! Please someone help a girl out
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds a lot like you have connected your modem to a numbered port of the WRT instead of the internet port. The 72.253.190.209 is a public IP address which you have got from your ISP (in Hawaii if whois information is correct). This means your computer establishes the internet connection directly through your ISP basically bypassing the WRT.
The most likely reason is you did not connect the internet port of the WRT to your modem.
It could be that you have a USB connection to the modem as well through which the computer establishes the internet connection.
If the router has some hardware trouble and it won't boot up properly it is possible to directly connect to the ISP even when wired correctly using the internet port to the modem. But if the other computer without internet still can open http://192.168.1.1/ this is probably not the case.
Some other routers pass PPPoE through the router. This way a computer which is configured to automatically establish an internet connection using PPPoE can connect to your ISP bypassing the router. As many ISPs only allow each customer to have a single internet connection at a time this would block the router from establishing another PPPoE connection. A computer connected to the LAN of the router should never try to establish an internet connection with PPPoE.
If this does not help, please open a command prompt window on the computer which has internet, enter "ipconfig /all" and post the full output of this command on that computer. Next, on the other computer open the web interface of the router, click on the Status page and post the full status information as well.

Strange problem in compiling....PLEASE HELP!

Well hi everyone let me show you the strangest problem you've ever seen -
I have an intro file with the name "intro.swf". the "index.html" shows the swf file.
I have the files "eng.swf" , "ru.swf', "heb.swf" and the "-leng-.html" files.
SO - when the intro's done in the end there is a variable cold "_root.leng" and the options are "eng" , "heb", "ru".
THE PROBLEM -
In the Preview (Ctrl + Enter) the buttons for each leng' works great! In the end there is a switch staitment with the "getURL" function
and it's send right where it needs.
In the Debuger it works even better! I can see exactlly what's going on!
In the .SWF file (after PUBLISHING or Shift + F12) it DOESN'T WORK! It's sending to the "intro.swf" file again! ("IT" means nor the .swf file or the .html)
I'l stab someone in the eye PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE ****!?
and be n!ce tell me how to slove this ****ing problem
If you REALLY have to see the fla please ask. it's just 25mb of the intro.fla + eng.swf and ru.swf (2,21mb * 2) and the html files ---->20,2 MB in RAR
I'll upload to rapidshare.
THANK YOU!

show the switch statement code.

Copy and Paste Problems with Images

I'm having the strangest problems with images. I copy an image off of the web for one of my art history classes and I go to paste into another program but, whether it's Keynote, Powerpoint, Photoshop, or Graphic Converter, something always goes wrong: the images definitely lose some of their quality, become brighter in appearance, and get jagged on the edges. This is starting to drive me nuts, especially since it never happened in 10.4 on my iBook G4. Any suggestions?

Make it an 8-bit file (Image menu > mode).

Engine having problems loading nested classes

Hi all,
We are having the strangest problem:
We are using PAPI to create an instance of a process by passing a complex class, that we have defined, in the BeginIn argument set. Some classes are loaded successfully by the JVM, others cause the Engine to throw a ClassNotFoundException. Here's an example:
ClassA has 3 members:
ClassA
---ClassB
---ClassC
---LinkedList<ClassD>
Classes A, B, and C are all loading fine. Class D cannot be found.
Here's another example:
ClassA has 3 members, ClassD contains instance of ClassE:
ClassA
---ClassB
---ClassC
---ClassD
---ClassE
Again, Classes A, B, C, and D are all loaded, but ClassE cannot be found.
All classes are in the same JAR file, in the same package, and all are cataloged into BPM under the same directory.
I'm using BPM 6.0.3 on Weblogic 10.0.0.1
The PAPI code is being called from a different server than the engine is running on.
Any ideas why nested classes are causing this kind of problem?
Thanks,
-Ken

OK
Here is another twist to whoever may be reading this thread.
When the EJB containg the PAPI call and the BPM Engine are on the same Weblogic server, the code works fine. When the EJB and the Engine are on different Weblogic servers, the Engine throws the "ClassNotFoundException". It is definitely the remote Weblogic server containing the Engine that is throwing the Exception.
It seems as though the engine and the PAPI code are having difficulty communicating through RMI...

CS4 Action Script display problems

I've just used Flash CS4 for the first time after using CS3 for some time. When using the Action Script window to write code I had the strangest problem. When writing or pasting code in the AS window the last couple of letters or characters get cut off. I checked my preferences and they were they same as they were in CS3 (just to be sure). Both CS3 & CS4 both have the Monaco font as the default. I solved the problem by changing the fint to Arial. Now the AS displays properly.
Wondered if anyone has seen this happen and if they knew if it was a bug or something?
I'm using CS4 with a newer MacBook Pro and sing AS2 in this project.
Thanks so much!
BC

first button is called Enter and it is btn1 in the libary, i would like that to navigate to scene 2 frame 1. this was a graphics and i converted it to a button have also tried making it a movie clip it still doesn't work. the second button is Autobiogtaphy and it is btn2, i would like that to be navigated to the frame 10 and the frame is called About. I have CS4 and i realised all the stop actions worked when i saved it in CS3 and opedned it back up so since then i have been using that format. im also using AS3 if that makes any difference.
So i realised i haven't been much help on details hope this helps

Problems With Starting Up After Power Failure

Hi Everyone,
I'm having the strangest problem booting up (or rather, not being able to boot up) after a power outage in my neighborhood last night. What's more, it's the second night in a row that it's happened and has blocked my ability to boot into my two main drives. I installed OSX on a separate internal drive so that I can access them and they seem to be all right and have all the information on them which is good.
Here's what happened: Two nights ago my computer was on and we had a power outage which turned my computer off, of course. I don't have it set to restart after something like this so I tried to restart it in the morning. The blue progress bar makes it about a quarter of the way across and stops. I have the same OS on another drive so I started up with the Option key and chose that and everything was fine. However, the next night the exact same thing happened and I couldn't boot into that drive the following morning either so I had to install a fresh version of OSX on another drive just to get into my computer. I've used Drive Utility, Drive Warrior, Drive Genius and TechTool Deluxe to check the drives and they all say there's nothing wrong. I've tried to reset the PRAM but still can't boot up into those drives which were on when we had the outage. I have unplugged everything and nothing else in the house seems to be effected. Any suggestions? I've had many power outages over the years with my Mac on but never have I ever experienced something like this, and on both drives too! As always, any help will be greatly appreciated and needless to say, I'm turning my computer off tonight before I go to bed!

Sounds like a lesson in there: don't wait to put OS X on an external drive that is usually off line.
Rush to a store or on-line and get a UPS of the 1500VA sort (APC RS would be nice, or SMART UPS 1000VA).
The directory of the drives could be corrupt.
I have all my equipment, modem, routers, the works, but we had a bad storm and one port on the router/modem is out (the one I used, the modem seems to be okay) and I am worried that the UPS's line filter for DSL in is also 'compromised.'
Storms and power outages can wRECK or cuase havoc.
It sounds like you need to map out bad sectors maybe (zero all in Disk Utility) perhaps. The directory, volume blocks, or even journal file, got scrambled. However, because no test can find it means - to me - it could be the "non user partitions" rather than OS X partition etc. Hence, zero the drive or just reformat it in full.
Why have you not ever with these outages, just continued to live w/o one? I wouldn't just shutdown, I would unplug if a storm approaches.
PS: SMC Reset button is under drive bay #4. Give it a 5-10 seconds depress.

Impossible problem

Hi,
I am having the strangest problem in the world with connecting to the internet. Maybe one of you guys can help. Well, first off I have 2 computers connected to my Linksys WRT54GS router wirelessly (Toshiba Laptop and Apple iMac G3). Friday the internet just stopped working so I unplugged the router and tried connecting both computers directly to the cable modem via ethernet but still the internet did not work so I reconnected them and called Earthlink. Then they scheduled an appointment and came over and connected there computer to both the router and modem. It did not work on the router but did work on the modem. They even replaced the modem and tried but none of my computers worked still. My computers do work on other wireless networks however but I have no way of testing it on another ethernet network. The IP address registers fine when connected to the modem directly but there is no connection still and the router will let me access the control panel but no internet. Right now the only way for me to connect to the internet is use a neighbors WIFI connection or connect my computer to the modem with a USB cord instead of an ethernet cord and that dont work on the Mac. I also tried connecting my Xbox 360 to the modem but it dont work either. Tomorrow I'm getting a new router (definetely not a Linksys as this is my third Linksys and I cant stand these routers) but I dont know if that will help either.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I don't think that the router is a problem in your case ... as the computers do not go online when connected to the modem , they won't go online through the router as well ..

SSL client certificate problem with exchange owa

Since a week I've been having the strangest problem when trying to connect to an exchange webmail server.
When I try to log on to the server, I now get a a safari warning telling me that the website requests a client certificate and prompts me to choose one.
Safari presents me with a few .mac and mobileme certificates, none of which are valid for this site obviously.
I cannot get through this dialog because it seems I do not have the required certificate.
What baffles me though, is that when I disable my mobileme settings in system preferences, safari connects to the exchange webmail perfectly without ever prompting me for a certificate.
I do not understand what mobileme has to do with this exchange server at all.
What is even more strange is that I have been having this on 4 different mac's here at home, with two different user accounts on the exchange server, and I have a family mobileme pack... so every system is a little different, but they all behave exactly the same.
Can anybody point in the right direction please ?
For what it's worth, I could have installed a 10.7.1 update on one of the systems which may have caused this, but definatly not on all 4 at the same time....
Another strange bit, when setting up the exchange server inside mail.app, it works perfectly...
