System Prefs window freezing when clicking on Login Items

Can anyone help me with this? In System Prefs>Accounts, I click on the button next to "Password" called "Login Items." It turns gray like I clicked on it, but everything in the window freezes and nothing happens. None of the buttons work except "Login Options." I bring up Force Quit, but the application does not show as "not responding," in other words, it appears to be working fine, but even the red, close window button stops working. The only way to get out of it is to hit command-Q to quit System prefs and then reopen it.

This is annoying, but when you are authenticating with a network ID it adopts settings which restrict access to the login items. If you look in your Accounts control panel, you will see under the name something like Admin, Managed, Mobile/Network (depending on if you made the account mobile). That "managed" word is the problem. If you hold down option when you login you have the option of disabling the management. This will give you full control, but only for that login instance. You can check the save this choice box, but it seems to be useless.
On another note, has anyone figured out how to get around this without having an admin account on the AD domain?

System Pref's freeze when trying to access "Desktop & Screen Saver"

Hi.
Every time I access the Desktop & Screen Saver category from the System Pref's window, the System Pref's freeze up (spinning beach ball of death appears) and I have to force quit.
Any thoughts?
Thanks all.

Apparently, there's corruption somewhere. Move the com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.systempreferences.plist files out of ~/Library/Preferences/ to the desktop, move the three or four com.apple.screensaver plist files out of ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ to the desktop, log out and back in. Now try to set the Desktop & Screensaver PrefPane. Note that you'll have to reset some items in System Preferences. If that fixes the problem, then one or more of those plist files is the culprit. You have two options. Reset your System Prefs and throw away the files you moved to the desktop or replace the new ones with the ones you took out, one at a time, until you find the one causing the problem.

Why is Firefox freezing when clicking items in an online grocery flyer...the screen changes to gray with image in back ground and then freezes

When clicking on an item on a grocery flyer online..the item does not pop up and the browser freezes with a gray overtone.
In the iamge I clicked on the normal window on Delissio pizza and a small window shopuld have popped up with deatils on the sale of the product...instead the screed turns gray(normal)...but no popup and the browser freezes

HI kidronatics,
The pop up sounds like there is an issue with a script loading in Firefox. However in order to troubleshoot the freezing try:

Ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

Still trying to figure out how to navigate these forum pages. For the last two consecutive days I have opened the default e-mail client on this iPad2 to find that the app will download all e-mail from my accounts and then freeze. I have to hit the power switch to shut off and then restart the iPad -the I can open my individual e-mails. Just like hitting control-alt-delete in the windows OS. Has the e-mail app been updated or something. I haven't knowingly changed anything. By the way , registering for forums is a pain in the butt - I ahink i have screwed up myz old user name and will attack that separately.
Augie
iPad2
Also - this happens once and then after that I can run it ok for the rest of my session. Power down and reboot then try e-mail and it freees, power down reset and it is ok. Has only been for the last two days.

Open or Save to harddiskoption pop up window needed when clicked on pdf lin

Subject : Open or Save to harddisk option pop up window needed when clicked on pdf link
I have a web application. There will be some pdf links in the application. When clicked on these links I read the content from database and output as bytestream. But when end user clicks these files the pdf will open in the browser or in Adobe based on his Adobe setting
Note : Experimentation done on Adobe Acrobat reader 5
Setting 1> Edit - Preferences - Options - Check on the 'Display PDF in browser' option
pdf opens up in the browser itself without asking any option
Setting 1> Edit - Preferences - Options - Check off the 'Display PDF in browser' option
on click it opens a windows pop up window asking me either to 'Open' or 'Save' . If I say Open it opens in Adobe.
Can this setting be controlled by my application itself [from Java servlets]? I want the opp up to be asked for every end user who clicks on the pdfs irrespective of what settings he has in Adobe Acrobat

I am not sure whether this will work. But it's possible to download the pdf file. Try the following
response.setContentType("application/download");
String filename = <<filename>>
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"" + filename + "\"");
Read the file into a bufferedOutputStream and then
int bytesA = bis.available();
response.setContentLength(bytesA);
write the content to ServletOutputStream..

Excel Freezes when Clicking on a Particular Tab within Excel

So, we are currently transitioning to SmartView from the Essbase Add-in. We have been already done a bunch of conversion for both files and VBA code with macros running properly without errors. However, for a particular file, we have been experiencing an issue of Excel freezing when clicking on a specific tab. The tab has no need to be connected to a database and only consists of formulas that are linked to other tabs. The issue only occurs when SmartView is enabled. If it is disabled, and the Add-in is enabled, you are able to click on the tab and navigate the sheet. With SmartView enabled (Add-in either enabled or disabled), as I said, freezes whenever clicking on that particular tab. I was wondering if there is any fix or something that I am overlooking for the file as to why this is happening. I saw some "fixes" online but none seemed to work or even seemed to be reasonable options to try to fix the problem.

Hi,
I just wonder, which Excel version you run and in which version the sheet was created that crashes.
We had Excel freezing for an analysis created in Excel 2003 sheet when running in Excel 2010. To solve this we created an entirely new file, connected the sheet to the cube and then copied over the refresh area from the crashing sheet. You may want to test this to see if it works. However, if you have formula references this needs some extra handling.
In other freeze/crash cases it helped to change the Smart View Options>Advanced: Compatibility section and checked 'Reduce Excel size' and 'Improve Metadata storage'.

System Prefs window, Icon gone wrong?

My printer icon is just a big box in my system pref window
like this:
If anyone can help to fix it, that would be great.
Thnaks people

V8_Kompressor,
According to MarkDouma®: Quit System Preferences if it's running and trash the following file:
/Users/~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
Then launch System Preferences and hopefully the icons should appear properly.;~)

Window freezes when Product category selected via match-code (search help)

Hello Experts,
I am using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
I maintained a product category hierarchy in the SRM environment.
I maintained the GL Accounts related, the tax determination, the source system etc.
I did all this customizing in a Development environment where everything was working fine.
Now I just transported all this to a Quality environment.
And in the Quality I am facing the following issue :
If I select a product category via the match-code (search help), after the category is selected, the window freezes.
I have to shut it down manually using the Windows Close button.
However, when I type the category number, everything works fine.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, and how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,
Sofiane

Hello,
We have the exact same issue in SRM 7.0 Extented Classic Scenario. This was working fine before we installed the latest support package 11. Which support package do you have?
The same problem occurs with every drop down menu (search help) in EBP. For example when creating a new shopping cart, if I try to add approver, the same thing happens. After clicking 'Approval Process: Display / Edit Agents' > 'Add Approver', the window freezes. Same thing happens with IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Could you also try the same?
Could it be a new bug in SP11?
Thanks and best regards,
Matti Hokkanen

Please repair this bug.

Hi,
It seems that you may delete the wrong disk, to check this, I suggest to see the disk status in the WinRE environment with the command listed in the post,
If this partitions or disks remain the same, I suggest to use Bootrec.exe in the Windows RE to troubleshoot startup issues:
To run the Bootrec.exe tool, first start the Windows RE:
1.Put the Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 media in the DVD drive, and then start the computer.
2.Press a key when you are prompted.
3.Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard, or an input method, and then click Next.
4.Click Repair your computer.
5.Select the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
6.In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
7.Type Bootrec.exe, and then press Enter.

ITunes freezing when clicking "Get Info"

My iTunes keeps freezing when I click on "Get Info", and it takes several minutes to open. Sometimes, it won't open at all, and I have to end the task in Task Manager.
I have Win7 and almost 200gb free. I noticed this about three weeks ago and have already upgraded to the latest version. Any ideas?

Tried reinstalling, and I'm still having the same problem. It takes about a minute for the window to open after selecting "Get Info."

Itunes freezes when clicking on a song

I run a Windows 7. I just updated my itunes to the most recent update. This problem has gotten progressivley worse up to this point. Now, whenever I launch itunes, it starts up fine until i decide to click and play a song/video. At this point it freezes itunes completley - to the point where only the Task Manager will close it. It says, "not responding". Ive tried restarting my computer - no luck. Ive tried going into the control panel and clicking itunes, then 'repair'. Still nothing. Ive looked all over the web and have done virus scans and reinstalations everything reccomended. Nothing will work - itunes continues to freeze when i click on a song/video.
Is there anything else I can try? What could be the problem?
If anyone needs to know, I have 1667 songs and maybe five movies. And yes, I still have plenty of room on my computer. RAM and such isnt an issue.

"We could not complete your Itunes store request" with the unknown error number (306).
That's a proxy issue, although there's a number of different things that might cause it.
First, try going into your Internet Options control panel. Go into the Connections tab. Click the "Lan settings" button. Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if it is checked, and click okay.
Can you get through to the Store if that box is unchecked?

Device not detected in iTunes for Windows

TS3212 after downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my windows freezes when attempting to gain access to itunes store. How do i Fix?

After downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my computer freezes when i attempt access into itunes store. How can I fix this problem?

Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

Change window size when clicking link?

I recently converted a WinHelp project in RH5 that used
secondary windows and I'm trying to stick with one window in
HTMLHelp (and still learning a bit).
In some parts of our app, pressing F1 opens a small window
(not a popup) with a short description of a feature. There's a link
at the bottom of the topic that will open a longer overview
description. When clicking the link, I'd like to use the same
window, but resize (make it wider) it to accomodate the bigger
topic. In other words, I want the window to be narrow initially (so
I don't cover the app) but change size when the link is clicked, so
I can show the longer text without scrolling multiple pages.
Do you folks do anything like this?
Thanks in advance for any help,
- Tom

Tom -
You could always use the ResizeTo function in your larger
topic, something like this:
<body onLoad="window.resizeTo(400, 500);">
Or, something like that....
