Unable to fully deactivate Smart Dashes in TextEdit since 10.6.3

I just noticed that since updating to 10.6.3, Smart Dashes behaves as though it is on in TextEdit and only TextEdit, even though it is off. In Rich Text view, whether typing a standard keyboard dash offset by spaces, or a single trailing dash immediately after characters and followed by a space, TextEdit leaves the dash visibly untouched. However, typing a dash surrounded by characters or typing a double dash immediately replaces the on-screen character with an em-dash. I have double checked my preference both for the application as a whole and for a new document via contextual menu -- on or off, the behavior is the same.
At least, in Rich Text view. In plain text view, substitutions are only made when the preference is enabled. Interestingly, if I toggle back and forth between Rich Text and Plain text, I can watch the troublesome dashes toggle back and forth between being dashes and em-dashes according to the above criteria. Those dashes that SHOULD have become em-dashes according to normal Smart Dashes rules stay em-dashes in both styles.
I've verified that he problem does not exist in Safari, Mail, or Adium, but is replicable in TextEdit in all my users, after permissions repair, and after restart. Opening old documents shows dashes converted to em dashes all over the place, but opening them with other apps still shows them untouched. This problem did not exist prior to OS 10.6.3.

Good idea, just checked, and yes, they get printed as I see them on screen, em-dashes.

I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot with Z10

I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot at work with my z10. We use Cisco access points. Once connected to the AP, users are redirected to https://2.2.2.2/login.html this page allows users to type a username and password and then click a button to gain full Internet access. Using the z10 to connect to the AP redirects me to the secure page but then throws the error:
"Site Identity Not Verifiable"
I then select Expand to continue and am able to add the site as an exception but then I get asecond error:
"Unknown network error 3RFINA".
I believe it's most likely due to the self-signed cert that the AP is using to secure the http traffic. I use to see this issue on my previous blackberry devices and playbook prior to some recent OS updates, but I am not sure what the exact fix was. If you try to accept the error and there no prompt to install the cert as seen on my previous devices.
I am able to connect to the same AP with my laptop, Playbook, and Bold 9900, iPod and android devices without issue. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Since the AP is not mine I am really looking for a transparent client-side solution.
Thanks

Same here...
I guess the problem is invalid certificate in web authlogin page.
Even when I add a excepetion, I still geting this same error 3RFINA.
I remember when I had Android 1.6 I receive similar error, but when upgraded to 2.1 the errors was gone and I was able to authenticate in wifi connection here in that government build.
Now, when I came to BB Z10, I a kind of disapointed to get same error. I now its concern by security and the guilty in that history probably is IT who admin this network for using a invalid certificate (the validation date appears in browser is a kind of funny... says its valid from 2027 to 2039)

Not sure what you mean by "deactivate" but if you used Lost Mode your iPhone will be immediately locked, disabled, and effectively made useless to anyone lacking your Apple ID and password.

I assumed this would help my problem with not being able to open apps like Preview or TextEdit since I installed Mountain Lion. Instead, first I'm prompted to enter a password, then once I do that, I get an error box telling me the Library needs repairing. So I click on Repair, and once again I'm prompted for a password, which I enter, then the same error box opens, and so it goes. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it.

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.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
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.

I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc. but no luck ...
In fact after updating the software to the latest version I am having more of this... Sometimes the wifi button freezes an I can't even slide it to on / off...
Thanks

Noooo! Actually I too had d same prob wit my iPhone 4S. When I connect to my wifi network it won't get connected or it wil be grey scaled! I took it to d istore and since I had warranty they replaced my IPhone. It iPad charger has high volt than ur iPhone charger so when u connect wit it, there is a chance where large amount of current passes thru ur iPhone. So for sure it wil damage ur motherboard and its parts! Many said that iOS 6 or 6.0.1 or 6.1 was d reason for tis wifi prob! But apple never made its mistake wit it's software. If and only if u hav hardware prob u wil hav these sort of wifi prob Bluetooth prob! So best way s to replace ur iPhone!

Unable to connect through Smart Update tool

Hi,
Needing to check for some patch for WebLogic Portal, I tried to access to support service through Smart Update tool. My status can't be verified on the login phase (I still obtain an error message "Unable to verfiy your status") and can only work offline; so I can't download any patch.
Launching the tool in through command line, I got the stacktrace I suppose to be the reason for the error :

I tried to use several Smart Update releases (3.1.0.0 and 3.2.0.0) and to work with several JVM (32 and 64 bits, Sun and Jrockit) : none of this tries were OK.
My environment : Windows 7 Pro, 64 bits.
Is this an issue on my side or on Smart Update tool ? Is this due to my system (W7 ? 64 bits ?) Is there any system property I could use to pass the WSDL process ? Something else ...
Any help will be welcome !!
Thanks in advance.
Adrien.

Hi Rakesh,
Thanks for your answer but I have already tested in both environement with and without proxy. And when I had a proxy I tried with and without proxy information configured in the preferences. I'd never been able to connect.
I don't know if the main error is the "can't connect" or the "WSDL error". Which of these two may be the real one ?
Turning one some trace features, I got an interesting information : the connection refused may be from the address http://pmlb.bea.com/axis/services/PatchConsumerService?wsdl

I am unable to fully download iPhoto on my iPad 2. It downloads nearly to the end and then I get a message that says"unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. What do I do? Many thanks!

How do I download iPhoto to my iPad 2 iOS 6? It refuses to fully download. Towards the end of the download, I get a message that says "unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. I already have iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Many thanks.

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Unable to pair BB Smart Card Reader with Pc/Laptop

Hi, I have 2 new BB smart card readers (SCR) and Im trying to pair with the PC and I can not. The SCR software can not detect the SCR. I put the ID of the device on the software and is trying to looking for it but can not. It says "Unable to connect to the specified Blackberry smart card reader". I have another SCR and I don't have problems to pair with the computer only with the new ones. The SCR have the last OS. Do you know what could be the problem? I think is a bug of the new SCR.

Why am I unable to edit some Smart Mailboxes

I have used Smart Mailboxes for some time but have found recently, when I wish to add a new criterion, that I am unable to edit some of them.
The 'flap' simply fails to appear.
Some newly created boxes can be edited and some can't.
I am unable to find a difference between those I can edit & those I can't edit.
I loaded the recent [Dec 22nd] update to Mail in the hope that that would solve the problem but it didn't.
I would be very glad of help or advice.

Mark,
I'm not sure that what you are experiencing is necessarily a glitch otherwise one would assume that others would have made the same complaint. Having said that when you updated to 10.5.6 did you do that via Software Update or did you explicitly download either the Combo or Update?
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_6_ComboUpdate (668Mb)
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_6Update (372Mb)
The reason I ask is that there have been some problems reported by users as a result of performing the update via Software Update and when they have subsequently downloaded the Combo and installed that, the problems have been overcome. I downloaded the Combo at the outset given that I had experienced minor software update problems on previous occasions so erred on the side of caution.
If you choose to download one of the above then before installing you should repair disk permissions and then do a backup.
You can provide feedback to apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Cheers
Chris

Unable to fully install itunes due to error message

I have been trying to install itunes and when I get about three quarters of the way in an error screen pops up telling me that I have an error writing to the file C:/Documents and Settings/All users/Application Data/.../GEARAspiWDM.inf and telling me I need to verify that I have access to this directory. How do I find that file and fix this problem so that I can fully install itunes?

an error screen pops up telling me that I have an error writing to the file C:/Documents and Settings/All users/Application Data/.../GEARAspiWDM.inf and telling me I need to verify that I have access to this directory.
Quite often those messages are caused by disk/file damage rather than a genuine permissions problem.
Try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's instructions and a guided help in the following Microsoft document:
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you now get your iTunes install to go through properly?
