Tech Tool 4 eDrive won't disappear when I log on

After installing Snow Leopard, my eDrive doesn't disappear after I log on, as it used to. Do I need to worry about this?

According to postings in the Micromat forums, TechTool Pro 5.0.5 has only two minor problems under Snow Leopard, the need to enter the administrative password when its preferences pane is opened, and a sometimes inaccurate report of how much free space is left on a volume.
The reason your TechTool Pro 4 eDrive does not unmount is that the TechTool Protection background process does not work under Snow Leopard. Do not use TechTool Pro 4 under Snow Leopard. That process is replaced by the TechTool Pro Daemon in TechTool Pro 5.

Illustrator CS 5.1 won't open when we log in to our Macintosh workstations on home network(mac)

Hi,
I have been asked by one of our customers the following question, please can you help!!!
The issue we have is that Adobe Illustrator CS 5.1 won’t open when we log in to our Macintosh workstations using an account with a network home area.
We have multiple OSX 10.6 workstations and our users have Open Directory accounts with network home areas on an OSX 10.6 server. All the other Adobe CS 5.5 applications (InDesign, Photoshop etc.) work fine with our network accounts, but Illustrator won’t open at all. When a user clicks the Illustrator icon to launch the program, it bobs up and down in the dock for approximately 2 minutes, then the program closes. No splash screen appears. I have tested this with several different accounts (including new ones created for this purpose) on several workstations with the same results.
When I tested this with a local standard user (not Administrator) account Illustrator launched successfully. There are no other differences between this local account and the network accounts other than where the home area is located, and where the account authenticates to.
Thanks,
Elfed.

Hi,
I advised my customer to phone Adobe support and insist on getting free support as it is a install/configure issue.

Tech Tool Deluxe DVD won't boot with 10.5.6. How to fix volume structure?

Is it just my newbieness, or is the Tech Tool Deluxe 3.1.2 DVD image not bootable with late 2008 MBP with OS X 10.5.6?
I installed Tech Tool Deluxe 3.1.2 to Leopard 10.5.6. - ran it and it said I have problems with my volume structures. I followed the download button, gave my serial and downloaded the TTD.dmg image, burned it to DVD with Disk Utility (seems OK, as I can read the disk in OS).
When I try to boot from the DVD, it just reboots in a while to my OS X (tried with c and opt buttons during start-up. I can choose to boot from DVD with opt, but again it just reboots in a while).
Apple mentions that this version of TTD is not compatible with Late 2008 models - is booting one of the incompatibilities? If so, fine, but how can I fix my volume structure problems now, that tend to hang my Mac every once in while with big disk operations?
Thanks for any possible help.

I had the same problem myself. The TechTool bootable products on DVD won't startup an October 2008 release MacBook or MacBook Pro.
From the Micromat website:
Our current bootable products support all PowerPC and Intel Macintosh computers capable
of running Mac OS X 10.5 or greater, except for:
• MacBook (October 2008 Release)
• MacBook Pro (October 2008 Release)

"Buy Song" won't disappear when I buy songs.

After I download songs, the "Buy Song" button does not disappear in the playlist, and only the 30-sec sample plays.
This never happened in previous versions of iTunes. Once a song downloaded, the button disappeared, and the entire song would play.
Now I have to manually delete the song titles from the playlist and drag the newly purchased songs BACK into the playlist.
Any ideas?

Re the Console icon - it will behave the way you describe if you have not quit the program. In the Mac OS, closing the last window of a program does not usually quit the program - it is still running. Try clicking the Cosole icon to make it the active program, then press Command-Q (Quit in the Console menu in the main menubar).
Re the icons disappearing, try scrolling the Launch Pad window sideways. If you are using a Magic Mouse, use a two-finger sideways swipe. Or, press the left and right arrow keys to scroll it back and forth. Or, click the dimmed indicator blob at the bottom of the array -

Missed call with iOS won't disappear

When I have a missed call in my Lock screen in iOS5 and I use the slide function to directly return the call, the missed call won't disappear when I hang up the phone. Also when I unlock it, the Phone icon stats that I have still one missed call.
Anyone who knows where you can post these things, so Apple can fix it in their next update? Sort of bug list or so.
Thank you all in advance for the responses.
All the best,
Quincy

Using "Tech Tool Deluxe" In Leopard

My MacBook Pro came with Tiger and the Apple included CD Tech Tool Deluxe. On running Tech Tool Deluxe under Tiger, my MBP passed all tests.
I updated to Leopard. I downloaded the update for Leopard from Tech Tool.
Now my MBP fails the video ram test. My MBP works perfectly.
I am wondering if Tech Tool Deluxe fails the video ram when running Leopard.
Suggestions please.

Use whichever DVD came with the computer. A Retail Leopard DVD does not include Apple Hardware Test. The DVD does not have to match the version of OSX on the hard drive when running the tests.

Mail VIP list disappears when logging out/back in

After upgrading mid-2011 iMac to Yosemite, my Mail application's VIP list disappears when I log out and log back in. I have to rebuild it each time by selecting VIP stars in each person's email.

A little more possibly-useful information:
The system typically gets into a bad state - neither firefox nor thunderbird able to start - after the computer goes to sleep (suspend) when I close the lid. Certain updates also break it. Yesterday I updated some rpm packages without incident, but updating the flash plugin caused problems.

Stage disappears when using selection tool

I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended and i discover a strange problem in some documents that makes working impossible.
When i use the normal rectangle selection tool in some documents then suddenly all the content of the stage disappears when i release the mouse
It doesn't occur with any document just with some.
Does anyone has discovered the same issue and has an idea how to solve it?

Sorry, i meant canvas..."stage" was influenced by Flash
Posting a Screenshot makes no sense, because you just cant see no content anymore. All the panels are still there, but the canvas suddenly is empty in the moment i release the mouse when i'm using the selection tool.
I'm running Photoshop CS6 Extended on Windows 7 Professional 64Bit with 16GB RAM, 18GB of free disk space on an SSD.
It might be a working memory problem (?!). After closing Chrome (where i had a lot of tabs) and restarting the system, noe everything works fine. The problem is, that it happened a few times with different PSD-documents...

Drop shadow disappears when I close title tool?

I'm using Premiere Pro CC. I have created a title in title tool and I have added a drop shadow. I can see the drop shadow when I still have the title tool open.
Once I close the title tool window the drop shadow disappears? I have tried different fonts nothing seems to work. Don't know what else to try?

It's not really a bug, it's by design. Hardware acceleration processes things differently.
If you're on CC, you can also leave hardware acceleration on and go into the Sequence settings and uncheck Composite in Linear Color.

A tool-switching panel disappears, when a dialog is displayed.

We are currently developing the plug-in of Adobe Illustrator CS6.
Our CS6 Plug-in displays a modal dialog in tool selection.
Modal dialog appears when I change tools, and the tool-switching panel disappears.
I do not want to display a modal dialog on changing tool.
In the case of CS5, such a thing does not occur.
Do you have any solution?

After a bunch of grumbling, head-scratching, research, and experimentation, I identified a solution that works for us.
The consistent condition for users with this problem was that they had Acrobat (any version, near as we can tell) installed. The browser used the Acrobat print dialog to print .pdf, and that dialog is the one that doesn't work. Those who had only Adobe Reader were OK, since its print dialog worked.
The fix is to make the browser use Reader to process pdfs rather than Acrobat, and the Reader print dialog works great.
In the cases where no Reader was installed (only Acrobat), we installed it, and the Reader install reconfigured the browser to use the Reader with pdfs, instead of Acrobat. The Reader install also makes itself the default application for all the standard pdf file types. We initially thought, where both Reader and Acrobat were already installed, we could just re-associate the files with Reader and that would also correct the browser behavior. But the browser explicitly associates an application with a file type, and does not rely on the computer associations to make that determination.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to figure out how to manually change that for IE 10 or 11. Probably a registry hack for that, but we're not terribly interested in going there. So, if the computer already had both Acrobat and Reader installed, we just removed and reinstalled Reader. Presto, browser uses Reader and printing is fixed.
Of course, the down side is that after a Reader install, double-clicking a pdf file will bring up Reader, not Acrobat. We told Acrobat users to run Acrobat first and use File/Open, or to right-click the file and use Open with. If they want to play around with the file associations themselves, well, that's up to them.
TSN, thanks for the response.

Tech Tool Deluxe won't install

I got Applecare for my dual G5 1.8 GHz (Running Tiger) and it came with this spiffy CD of Tech Tool Deluxe.
I tried to install it from the CD. It got all the way through the installation, then it was "searching the HD." I let it search. It searched all night. And all day. After about 18 hours of searching, I quit the installer.
I then ran disk utility to clean up permissions. I tried reinstalling Tech Tool Deluxe. Same issue.
I booted from the Tech Tool CD. Ran Tech Tool. No issues found.
I then rebooted into Tiger and tried, again, to install Tech Tool Deluxe. Same problem.
The version on the CD is 3.0.4, which is the most up to date version on Micromat's website.
Any thoughts on what's going on?
Thanks,

The problem is probably that Tech Tool is now at 4.1.1. - check their site again. This (4.1.1) is the first version to be Tiger compatable - 3.0.4 is NOT Tiger friendly and probably isn't even OS X compatible - when Mac went to OS X Micromat offered 4.0.1 to us registered users as a free upgrade to get OS X compatability - the disk I bought 3 years ago for OS 9 was actually 3.0.9 so I'd say upgrade to 4.1.1 and back up your drive as they recommend until you know it isn't going to be glitchy with Tiger in this version. I would advise caution however with Tiger usage. I have 4.1.1 from an upgrade download to the disk version of 4.0.1 and the CD will not allow me to boot from it for repairs. I will need the disk of 4.1.1 to do this. I also know of two people who have lost their data and drive functionality after doing routine repairs. This may be a Quad issue - both instances were on Quads - and may not affect Duals but I'm waiting for the next upgrade before using this fix any drive issues on my Quad. I will stick with Disk Utilities on the Tiger boot disk untill then.
P.S. I was able to load 4.0.1 no sweat from the disc which does allow inspection and you can still repair all externals , just not the system drive from the desktop...
