Ohh thanks guys!
It worked as a charm, and thanks Brisbin33 for the autostart.sh tip.
So the thing that caused my whole system not to work as it should was that I forgot to put a "&" after conky?
haha that´s kinda anoying I have been sitting and looking through like a milllion files looking for the answer
But again, really thanks!
/Neuwerld
that little "&" sends the conky process to the background freeing up the current process (your autostart.sh script) to finish doing what it's doing so you can move on to running openbox itself.  with this in mind, it should be obvious why keeping conky in the foreground would cause problems.
also, replacing it with (sleep 1 && conky) & means... wait a second, when that's done successfully (&&) run conky, and put all of that () to the background.  that way openbox comes up immediatly and only a second later you've got your panel and monitor.
all this after .xinitrc and before openbox

  • The main window doesn't show up anymore when I launch iPhoto.

    The problem occurs on an iMac / Mavericks 10.9 / iPhoto 9.5. In the last days, iPhoto used to crash several times, and now the main window doesn't open when I lauch the app. Fortunately, if I want to access from the menu another Library, it works, So that I can repeat the procedure and access, by doing so, the default Library that doesn't open. There must be a corrupted file somewhere, I presume. But now, what to do? With Time Machine I could get iPhoto from a time it worked well. But this didn't change anything. Thanks for an advice to solve this annoying problem.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Download window doesn't show downloaded files

    Started having this issue a few weeks ago:
    When downloading files, the Download pop-up window shows file download progress as it should. However, when download is finished the window clears and nothing shows in Download pop-up window.
    When I search for file through Finder it appears and works fine.
    I searched and found a related post that doesn't exactly match my issue. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11080958
    It references Speed Download as the issue which I don't have.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Klaus, thanks for the prompt reply.
    I did look at the safari/preferences/general and the 'Remove download list items' is set to 'Manually'. As a test, I changed it to 'When Safari Quits' and downloads still do not appear on the Download pop-up window. When I switched it back to 'Manually' the problem still exists. Any thoughts?
    Much appreciated.
    edit: just remembered this issue appeared around when I installed Google Chrome. I've since removed Google Chrome and issue remains.

  • Downloads window is blank, shows file name but doesn't show up speed, percentage of download etc.

    When I start downloading something, the Downloads window opens normally & also shows what is being downloaded. But, it doesn't show downloading percentage, downloading speed. (all things which usually show up below the name of file). But when minimized, I can see percentage.

    Worked for me too. options->options->privacy->remember download history

  • Finder doesn't show files that Terminal shows

    Running 10.4.4. I have a zip file that expands into a folder containing many subfolders. Finder tells me that the majority of these folders are empty despite the zip file being several MB in size. Opening some, but not all, of the folders forces Finder to tell me what's really there but this doesn't work for all of the folders. I can go into Terminal and see the contents of every folder. What's going on here? This has never happened before. Repairing permissions didn't fix it. It's also happening with other folders not related to the zip file.

    Here's an update. The zip file in question contains the latest version of a suite of Java applets that I've been using for some time. The developer just sent me the previous version and the latest version, but the latter was compressed with a different compression tool; he didn't say which one. I moved the two zip files onto my iBook G3 running OS X 10.3.8 and they both unzipped correctly. However, under 10.4.4 only the one compressed with the different compression tool unzipped correctly. This suggests a bug in 10.4.x does it not?

  • Login Window doesn't show all account

    Hi all folks,
    I migrate an old OS X Leopard with some Accounts to OS X Yosemite but the Login Window doesn't show all Accounts.
    And the Guest Account and the Other Account icon is outside the screen.
    Any idea how to order the Accounts in the Login Window, it seems to be the Login Window can't handle more than five Accounts.
    Thanks for any suggestion,
    Lutz

    Hi again,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have done the unbind and performed the bind operation again, but its still happening. I have now put a second system in and its doing it on that one too.
    I was wonding if there is some way of making sure that Samba is fully started before the login window appears.
    Thanks,

  • After I've heard an audiobook downloaded from the public library, how do I delete it from the Shuffle?  When I plug it into my computer, I get a screen showing how much space is left on the Shuffle but no list of files that I can delete.  WRA

    After I've heard an audiobook downloaded from the public library, how do I delete it from the Shuffle to make room for other audiobooks?  When I plug it into my computer, I get a screen showing how much space is left on the Shuffle but no list of files that I can delete.  These books, incidentally do not appear in the ITunes screen.  WRA

    Select the iPod shuffle in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES).  If this is a current 4th (or 3rd) gen iPod shuffle, you should be able to see the contents of the shuffle by type, intented under the shuffle's name (still in the sidebar).  Select Music or Audiobooks (not sure where those items from the library will be listed).  The items will be listed to the right, for each category.  Find the items, select, and delete.
    It's on page 20 of the manual
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide.pdf
    NOTE:  If this is an 1st or 2nd gen iPod shuffle, select the iPod shuffle in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES).  Over to the right, go to the Contents tab, where the items are listed.  Select and delete them from this list.
    I find it more convenient to make a playlist in iTunes with things I want to put on the shuffle.  I then set up automatic syncing (or use autofill) to have iTunes load the shuffle from that playlist, automatically.

  • When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

    # Question
    When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

    Hello.
    I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
    I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

  • When I attach USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears.  I just finished downloading pictures off of old mac and that one worked as expected.The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull USB out pompts message improper eject. Any ideas?

    When I attached my USB flashdrive to my new Mac Air no icon appears and the same when I attached my new superdrive.  I just finished downloading pictures off of my old Mac and that one worked as expected. The new computer doesn't show anything but when I pull the USB flashdrive out, a message prompts me with an improper eject notice. Any ideas on why no icon (a disc) appears and how can I get it to?

    Open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for what you want displayed on the Desktop. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar and do the same for what you want displayed in the sidebar.

  • My downloads-window doesn't function properly anymore, often it just stays blank, and the one in my taskbar doesn't turn green at all. Can you tell me how to fi

    My downloads-window doesn't function properly anymore. It just stays white whenever I am downloading something. Only after downloading the same file once or twice more, it shows the progress of my download. The window in the taskbar -that should progressively turn green- doesn't show anything at all anymore. How can I fix this?

    Note that there should only be a prefs.js file (Windows hides the .js file extension) and not a numbered prefs-##.js file.<br />
    The presence of a numbered file indicates there there has been a problem with creating/updating prefs.js at some time and you can remove the numbered prefs-1.js file.<br />
    If the main prefs.js doesn't have a current time stamp then you will have to delete that file as well and redo all customization settings in Options.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find on the internet but nothing is working. Any other suggestions?

    When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find in the support discussions but nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?

    If you have carefully follow ALL of the steps in that article, you are using a USB port directly on your computer and not a USB hub (don't use a front port on a tower or desktop either, as they are an internal hub) and you installed iTunes correctly using an Administrator ID and you have tried disabling your antivirus and firewall then there is no hope of it ever working. Look at the tip again, and go through it carefully, not skipping any steps.
    Note, BTW, that an iPhone will not show up on a computer, only in iTunes. If there are photos in the Camera Roll then it will appear in Windows as a digital camera only.

    I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.

    If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
    There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
    If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again.
