SystemUIServer quitting every 10 seconds
hi all,
I had a very awkward behaviour in my menu bar which was that the menu bar items were loading and suddenly disappearing repeatedly, every couple of minutes. After checking Activity Monitor I realised the SystemUIServer was repeatedly quitting unexpectedly, confirmed with a quick check on the CrashReport log.
So I copied all the Menu Extras from /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ to a folder in the desktop, and proceeded to copy them back one by one, restarting the SystemUIServer each time. It happened to be a problem with the Volume.menu item, which I believe to be corrupted, and I'll try to replace with a fresh copy from my OS Install package (via Pacifier).
Is there someone that might know if the problem with the Volume.menu item has to do with something else besides the file itself? (Preference Files, System Preferences, etc)
PowerBook G4 15'' 1GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3) External Speakers (Genius SW-J2.1 330)
Sometimes the problem is caused by a corrupted Finder preference file. You could try deleting the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file and restarting.
A recent hint may also be related although it's not exactly about the same problem you describe:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2005110218212563&lsrc=osxh
If local preferences are to blame you can test that by creating a new user and logging into the new account. If the problem ceases, then you may indeed have corrupted preference files causing the problem. However, it could also be caused by other third-party stuff such as login items, startupitems, contextual menu items, etc. Booting into safe mode could help to eliminate those as possible culprits.

I have a iMac and i just updated the computer to Yosemite. I have Photoshop CS5 and when I try to print under print size --- manage custom size , photoshop unexpectedly quits every time. I updated the printer drivers (epson 9880) uninstalled and installed all the drivers. restarted computer and it is still doing the same thing. Cant find any costumer service here either except forums.
I have exactly the same problem - Whenever I go to Print, the print widow appears, it thinks about it for a bit (rotating symbol) and then quits.
This is the beginning of the problem details, cut and paste. It goes on much longer than this:

Dear All,
I've got a problem with TCC similar to https://discussions.apple.com/message/19128438#19128438.
There are 2 accounts in my macbook pro. If I log in with the second user then tccd crashes every second and that makes impossible to use most of the programs (Safari, Contacts, Mail etc).
There is no tccd db created for this user. The com.apple.TCC folder doesn't exist in ~/Library/Application support/
If I open the Console then I see how crash reports are generated. Every second I've got a new tccd crash report.
The system is freshю I just got out of the box in February. Any help is appreciated.Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -

When I plug in ipod, it connects/disconnects every second, forever..Win-7
My ipod worked fine when I was running XP, but when I changed to Windows 7 (32bit), it started doing this thing where it would disconnect and connect every second, for as long as it's little heart desired.
i tried:
-letting it die
-restarting it
-all possible solutions provided by itunes help
-putting it into disk mode
-reformatting it (it worked on dad's comp: win xp)
other facts:
-it still charges
-still plays music when not connected to computerHaving the same problem with Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Started about a month ago. Gen 1 iPod video that I have updates and connects fine, just not my 4Gen Nano. Sent it in for repair, they sent me back a different one, having the same problem.

Create data merged document with data on every second page?
Is it possible to create a data merged document with the variable data only on every second page?
I have set up the pages with the variable data as a master page (on every odd page) with the text box and paragraph style all set up, and I have set 'override master page items' so the data can be placed, but InDesign seems to freeze up when I try to create the merged document?There should be no problem doing the merge with a two-page master and a two-page template document with fields only on one page (and off the top of my head there's no reason to move them off the master page if that's where you put them). I think the problem here is that rachrachm already has a file of 500 pages (based on another thread asking how to apply masters to every other page).
It's potentially possible to simply place the data file (without the header row) as a text file and auto-flow through the master page frames (can't say for sure without seeing the files), or if the pages without the merge fields are the same just, remove all but the first two pages from the template and do the merge.
As I metioned earlier, though, this is a very inefficient method of producing that sort of document. A true variable data print flow would be better (you'd need to find a commercial printer who can do it with your data file), or the home version would be to make one single page file for the static content, print 250 copies (plus a few extras, just in case), then make a single page merge template, do the merge, and print that on the back of the already printed pages, or as a separate page. It is immeasurably faster to print multiple copies of a document than it is to print a document that has multiple identical pages. -
"Ghost" page numbers on every second page - how to remove?
Hi,
I'm setting a short book with Pages and after importing from Word, I'm seeing duplicate, partially hidden additional page numbers on every second page. I'd like to remove them entirely, keeping Pages' page numbering. Removing and inserting page numbers doesn't help and the second set of numbers can't be selected in any way (clicking, dragging don't work). One solution would be to re-import from word, deselecting page numbers beforehand, but I'd rather like avoid this step as I made many changes in Pages.
Here's a screenshot showing the duplicate page numbers: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3304376/pages_bug.png
Does anybody have an idea how to remove them?Hello,
Sometimes in the process of importing from Word, page numbers are improperly converted to Master Objects or Background Objects. Go to Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable. Then, with the cursor in the Margin of the document, press the Command Key (Cursor changes to an Arrow) and drag the cursor diagonally across the page number to select it. Then press the Delete key and the number should be gone. You need to check carefully to make sure that you have eliminated all the instances. There may be one per Section.

Refresh only a region in a Page automatically every second
Dear All
I have a page in my application which would display the remaining seconds like 20,19 etc and when it reaches 0 the webpage should redirect to the calling page. I have set a counter for the same and is calling meta refresh tag in the page header every second for resetting the counter. Everything works fine.
My question is whether there is any other way instead of using the meta tag as this will refresh the full screen. I just need the region containing the counter only to be refreshed and displayed on the screen.
ThanksHi,
HTML regions do not support native region refresh like e.g. classic reports.
You need write own JavaScript to fetch data using AJAX.

"Last devices used" menu every second over Ovi map...
Hello all,
I installed Ovi Maps on my phone, and have a huge problem with it: Every second the"Last devices used" pops up and goes away again.
Since a few years I own (and use) a Nokia N95, and I just used 'Setup Nokia Maps Update 1.0.8.exe' to get Ovi maps on my phone. Apparently I had to use 'Nokia Software Updater' to make sure I got the latest version. Done that too.Next step is to use the Nokia Map Loader to get the maps on there. Done that too.
Here is the version info of the installed map:
I have Bluetooth enabled. Now, when I use the maps, every second the"Last devices used" pops up and goes away again. Mildly irritating would be a severe understatement here. Switching Bluetooth off and starting the map again gives the question "Bluetooth is currently switched off. Switch on?". Every second. It seems impossible to answer the popup-question or do something with the popup-menu.
Is this a known prob by anyone, and can you please tell me a fix or workaround (preferably a fix of course)?
Thank you,
wlamee
Solved!
Go to Solution.And I got a nippy reply from the Benelux Nokia Care.
The trick is I had to go to Tools -> Settings -> General -> Positioning -> Positioning Methods, and switch off 'Bluetooth GPS'. I think I always ahd this switched on and it never complained with the standard Nokia maps, but I'm not sure - I think I saw that menu only once, when I was palying with my GPS and the original maps.
But hey, it's fixed. Cool!

Updating JTable every second, want to ignore these events in my listener
I have a JTable that I update every second using
table.getModel().setValueAt(data, row, col);I'm also reacting to when the user clicks on a row in a the table, using a ListSelectionListener:
public class MyTableListener implements ListSelectionListener {
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
if (e.getValueIsAdjusting()) return;
//do stuff
}And of course I've done this:
table.getSelectionModel.addListSelectionListener(new MyTableListener());Problem is, every time I update the table data it generates an event handled by valueChanged() above. I need to prevent this.
Do I need a customized table model for this?
Thanks!Found the problem: I forgot I was using JXTable, not JTable. Here's my example:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.*;
import org.jdesktop.swingx.*;
public class Test {
JXTable table = null;//change this to JTable to fix
public class MyTableListener implements ListSelectionListener {
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
System.out.println("event="+e.toString());
public Test()
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
String columns[] = {"one", "two"};
Object data[][] = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}, {0, 0}};
table = new JXTable(data, columns);//change this to JTable to fix
table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new MyTableListener());
frame.add(new JScrollPane(table, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED),
BorderLayout.CENTER);
startThread();
frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main (String args[]) {
Test test = new Test();
public void startThread()
class RefreshThread extends Thread {
public void run() { try {
while(true) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {public void run() {
updateTable();
sleep(1*1000);
} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
RefreshThread rt = new RefreshThread();
rt.start();
public void updateTable()
TableModel model = table.getModel();
try {
for(int row = 0; row < model.getRowCount(); row++)
model.setValueAt(System.currentTimeMillis(), row, 0);
model.setValueAt(System.currentTimeMillis(), row, 1);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}When I change it to a JTable, valueChanged() is not called every time I programmatically update the table.
If it's a JXTable, valueChanged() is called with every update. Annoying!
To compile/run the JXTable version you'll need something like
java -cp swingx-1.0.jar:. TestAs for the events themselves, I added print statements with e.toString() and the events are not distinguishable from user interaction. I wonder if this is a JXTable bug or feature.
Thanks!
