Very weird dialogue box problem

I have been running a 24" IMAC since summer without any problems. We use an older MAC for a server in our office. A couple of days abo my save as and open dialogue boxes developed this weird problem. When I double click on a folder on our server the other folders and files within that folder appear under the original, as if you had turned one of those arrows around only there are no arrows. This is only happening on one hard drive but all programs. It is also only affecting the IMAC other (laptop and G5 etc.) are working fine.
I reintalled OS tiger yesterday but it did not solve the problem and now several of my other programs won't work. I can reinstall them as well but I still need to solve this problem.
I was wondering if deleting preference files would help. I am afraid to try this because I don't know much about it and don't want to make the situation worse.
Any help would be appreciated.

Remove VideoFileDownload and find a downloader that doesn't contain TextEnhance.

How do I stop a weird dialogue box from popping up whenever there is a youtube video embedded on a page?

Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I keep getting a dialogue box that asks me to choose an application or search the app store for some purportedly missing app to open whatever video is embedded on that page. I can just click "cancel" to skip through it, but it really slows me down and is annoyingly unnecessary since videos continue to play in a normal fashion when I click on them. I've tried uninstalling and trashing the components of Flash, but the dialogue boxes continue. And I've also tried downloading and installing the latest version of Flash to see if that was the problem, but no success. Anybody else experiencing this? Clearly this was introduced by the latest OS X software upgrade, because this did not occur before that.

I don't understand why I (not a power user) should have to go through this whole rigamarole since Apple is apparently the culprit in introducing this problem to my system, due to the upgrade to 10.10.3, but here it is:
Problem description:
Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I’m getting pop-up dialogue boxes on pages with embedded videos telling me that the app I need to view the video is missing and that I should search the MacApp store to find what I need (which is actually nothing at all). I have to click cancel to continue and the videos can be viewed as normally. This only started with the latest Mac version of OS X, and I blame the problem on Apple, which has apparently introduced some error into my system.

Weird dialogue box when attempting to find WiFi network

Was in DFW and turned on AirPort to see if there was a WiFi signal. Got this weird dialogue (never seen it despite many years of Mac use and traveling >120,000 miles/year connecting in many places). Also got the same dialogue when I returned home and connected to my network there. Is this something I should be concerned about?
I can send screenshot (looks like I can't post it here). Asked for my password, Right: com.apple.airport, Application: SystemUIServer.

Is it possible to verbalize the dialogue?

VERY weird OVM networking problem

First, this may have nothing to do with OVM, but the problem I'm seeing is happening on all FIVE of my VM servers. I can't even guess what's going on. Maybe you have seen this and solved it, or maybe you can suggest what I can do to debug this.
Here are the details:
I have a 3-node cluster, built from brand new IBM x3650 M4 servers. I have a 2-node cluster, built from old retired IBM xSeries servers that used to be VMWare ESX servers. My office is on another subnet from the data center network that contains all 5 servers. I see the following symptoms occasionally and randomly (I see it at least once a day, and can make it happen multiple times a day if I keep trying):
1. When I SSH to one of these boxes, sometimes the session will freeze. At other times, the session will work perfectly, but after exiting the SSH session, any subsequent attempt to ping or connect via TCP from my desktop to that server will absolutely fail. That is, ping, traceroute, and ssh (and presumably, everything) failes.
2. If I don't try to communicate with that server for several minutes (maybe 5 to 10 minutes, I'm not sure), and then try to ping or SSH to the box, it works again!
3. However, if after, say, exiting SSH, and finding that I can't ping the server, if I keep pinging (from Windows, I say "ping -t -w 5000 vmserver") the pings will fail FOREVER. I have left it pinging for 24 hours, and it would never answer a ping. But then if I stop the pinging, wait ten minutes, and ping again, it works. I swear.
4. During the time that I am unable to ping one of VM servers from my desktop, if I try to ping that same server from another desktop machine in my office, connected to the SAME little 4-port switch, it works perfectly.
5. This is ever more weird: During the time that my desktop 1 cannot ping server1, say, I can go go desktop 2 (right beside desktop 1), open an SSH session to server1, and from there, I can ping desktop1. I swear.
Why would I think this is an Oracle VM problem, you ask? Well, I wouldn't, except that I have other servers in that data center, that run ESX, and AIX, and Windows, and I've tried like hell to make one of them exhibit one of these symptoms, and I cannot do it.
If you have any ideas about what the heck is going on, I'd appreciate hearing them.

Doesn't sound like a VM problem to me. Sounds like you either have a spanning tree loop or you've got a lot of packet collisions causing issues.
I don't know how much you know about networking but a spanning tree loop is when you have multiple paths connected to the same physical network without using load balancing or multipathing. You can have multiple connections between physical networks but it must be configured properly or you'll have one link come up and the other go into blocking mode. you'll never know which one it might be. That is.... if the links have the same cost. Thus you get a "loop". If the ports are "floping". You'll have times when its up and times when its down. Your network admin should be able to see if the spanning tree is constantly be rewritten. That is a sure sign you have a network loop.
You said you have a 4 port switch? If that switch is set on a port that's set to do "portfast" then the switching fabric will never learn what's behind that switch. You just can't plug a switch into a network and expect it to work. Again, I don't know what you know about networking so don't take it the wrong way.
Packet collisons happen when you have a link between equipment where one side negotiates to a different speed than another. Say one side is 100 half duplex while the other end is 1000G Full duplex. You get massive amounts of collision and it will only get worse the more traffic you try to pass. Again. You mentioned a 4 port switch. You should never assume that switches will ever negotiate at the same speed on each end of the connection. Cisco has historically recommended that inter switch links be hard code to avoid 'negotiation" issues. Its not a big a difference in 1 gb siwtchiing and 10 gb switch but if you have a 100 mb 4 port switch hooked into a 1gb link..... that might be your problem. Just some thoughts.
IF you really were having a VM issues. The cluster heartbeat would be causing the VM servers to constantly reboot. So I don't think its on you servers. Probabily between you and the servers.

Very weird 64 bit problem

Initially I was running 2.4 in 64 bit mode on my Mac. Everything worked perfectly for a week or so. Then today, after messing about in the Web Module, I am not able to type in text fields. No characters appear even though if I'm outside of LR the keyboard is working perfectly. It recognises arrows presses and if I select text and hit a key it deletes the text but doesn't replace it with the letter I pressed.
If I then go into 32 bit mode it works with no problems. I've tried rebooting the machine but no matter what I do if I go into 64 bit mode I can no longer type text in the fields.
Any suggestions pls?

Sorry I can't be of any help, but I also have similar problems. I also have the mouse scroll preference problem, applications which were removed from the dock which reappear, sidebar items which won't go away or can't be set to appear(Finder Preferences check boxes), and desktop background settings which won't hold. These are actually not on my account, but for other users on the same computer. Removing preference files from ~/Library doesn't seem to fix it as it comes back.
I thought it might me related to Parental controls, but I'm not sure yet.

Hi,
I recommend connect the iPod shuffle to another computer and try to Restore it with the latest iPod updater http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20051012.html
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300701 ==== Restoring iPod shuffle
USB 2.0 is only required for charging the iPod shuffle it should work when connected to a USB 1.1
Also check the Battery Status
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300553
If the issue is not resolved then send the iPod shuffle for service at

Very weird signal strength problem

Hello everybody, I have a rather unique problem with a linksys range expander. I have successfully set one up at my home and am presently trying to set one up for a friend. I set everything up in every possible way I knew how (I had a lot of experience after trying to set up my own)and I believe the range expander is set up correctly however in Wireless connection status it is still showing the signal as very low. BUT if I click view wireless networks, it shows the network as having excellent signal strength! I know that distance is not an issue as the adapter and range expander in my house is set up at more than twice the distance of my friends and it still receives excellent signal. Thus I'm inclined to think that something else is causing this problem, since I also have tried moving the range expander in case something was blocking it, to no effect. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if anyone has any ideas for a fix? Thanks!

If the Range Extender is showing two blue lights & from the wired computer you are able to ping 192.168.1.240........ we can assume that range extender is working fine ......
Let me know on wireless computer which utility you are using?

Very weird report server problem

Hello gurus,
I'm currently facing werid problem.My report server status is UP and running.But I try to access the showjobs url, the page shows *500 internal server error* or cannot bind to report server errors.
I have enabled traces and actually found out that report sever engines are actually running,picking up reports,creating DB connections,formatting pages and dumping into cache folder,like everything normal.All traces show no error or abnormality.
rwdiag command also shows my report sever exists.
I can't understand how is this possible.Please guide me..
I think the problem is with the rwservlet?I'm sure rwclient and rwrun would run successfully as well..
anyone..

Hi there
Just would like to know if you have change some file configuration like httpd.conf,rwservlet.conf or ias.porperties?
Actually you report server is running file but this is host naming issues.
Provide me what you did so i can help.
Thanks

VERY weird ora-12705 problem

I have on a database running on Unix True64 a database link to another database. Also a True64 machine. The Oracle version is 8.1.7.0.0.
What happens is that I get a ora-12705 problem. Yes I know this has to do with NLS environment setting. But I doubt this is the case with this one. Look at the example:
unix> sqlplus /
SQL> select count(*) from zfindau;
select count(*) from zfindau
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
ORA-02063: preceding line from HUBD
SQL> connect system/<password>
SQL> connect /
SQL> select count(*) from zfindau;
COUNT(*)
74991
So under Unix I connect to an ops$ account. The zfindau is a synonym to the remote database table. First I do the select statement and get the ORA-12705 error. After I connect to a different user (system, or any other user available), do nothing and directly connect to the ops$account the same sql statement does work.
Does anyone of you know what's going on here.

A very weird Google Calendar problem

I have two Google Calendar accounts. Let's call them A and B. I have them both connected to my iPhone through CalDAV. Account A works perfectly. Account B works perfectly except for one thing: if I make a change in calendar B, then those changes don't show up on my iPhone UNLESS I go onto Settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars->Sync and change the setting. After I do that, the next time I go into Calendar, both calendars will update, but then calendar B will not update again until I make another change to the sync setting. Both accounts are configured identically as far as I can tell. I'm running a fairly ancient version of iOS (3.1.3 on an iPhone 3G). Any suggestions for how to proceed (short of buying a new phone) would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Very weird and frustrating problem.

I have a 160gb classic and I went to plug it in earlier and nothing happens, it didn't show up in itunes. I clicked my computer and under devices with removable storage its there, but just called removable disk (F: )) and I click on it and nothing is in there!
And so I unplug and plug my iPod back in again, and on the ipod screen it says that it is connected, and before I get the chance to do anything (it still doesn't show up in itunes) It says that its ejecting! And then it acts asif it isn't plugged in - I get the menu on the ipod screen.
And then in itunes it says my ipod might be corrupt and that I should restore.(the ipod still acts asif its not plugged in/connected) And the picture of the ipod is white.
So I click restore, and then it says it couldnt be restored, an unkown error occurred!
I've tried reinstalling itunes, holding down menu and select and everything.
I don't know what is going on, but can anyone help me??
Thanks!
EDIT: Ok, I just got it working on my brothers pc and I restored it. Then I plugged it into my pc and it still connects then says its ejecting (iTunes still isn't picking it up either) I'm thinking it must be something wrong with my pc.
But someone please help, this is horribly frustrating.
Thanks

I would 1st return it for a 100% refund. Now purchase an identical unit. This keeps your options open at least for the next 14 days (depending on the stores return policy).
I bought an ipod classic 160gb and its cord was hypersensitive to slight movement. I plugged it in, it said "connecting" then it suddenly didn't connect and said "ejecting". I couldn't safely disconnect and had to just yank out the cord. This froze up the ipod and I had to reset it in order to get the ipod to fire back up (which I understand you've already tried).
This is why I say return it and rule out the possibility of it being bunk junk.

Rogue Dialogue Boxes

I don't know if this is a Verizon problem, a software problem, a security problem or whatever.
On startup a very small dialogue box appears with the discriptive caption "VerizonServicepoint". Wihin the box it says "does not exist". There is a radio box "OK" and a red "X" close box. However, if you close the main box, another replaces it with the caption "Internet Explorer cannot display the......" This exciting new box contains an extremely small and truncated standard Windows message saying that "this program cannot display etc with advice in the scroll=down to check your internet connection etc etc.
I have tried countless rebppts, a system restore and a virus scan to no effect.
Any ideas???
All hints and suggestions would be most gratefully received. Simple explanations would be very welcome as my technical capabilities are exhausted with opening AOL.

Did you try uninstalling it?Your computer is looking for the executable file to run the program for the internet suite. If you can't uninstall it because the folder was deleted or the file is corrupted then you can try this...
Click start>run
type MSCONFIG and hit enter
Look for the start up tab...there you will see a bunch of checked boxes. Look for the one that has to do with that file and uncheck it. Hit ok and reboot your computer.

How do I get to the bottom of a dialogue box that isn't visible? Critical Mail problem!

I tried sending an email to a long list of recipients in a group. For some reason, I got a werid dialogue box about how it my SMTP server didn't recognize some addresses (though they all seem fine). No big deal, normally I would just edit the message and fix/delete the offending email addresses. However, the bottom of the warning dialogue is off screen and I can't scroll down. All I can do is hit "enter" and try to resend. But then I get a repeat.
The message in question is not seen in either my Outgoing, Sent, or Drafts folders. At least not when the dialogue box is open. So I can't just kill the message.
I also can't quit Mail while this message is up. I can go to the Finder and force quit. But then if I restart Mail the dialogue box pops right back up and I'm stuck where I was before.
Basically, I just need to know how to get to the bottom of the warning dialogue box so that I can click on the "edit message" button.
Help?!
Oh, I'm running the most updated version of OS X Lion.

I did that twice. Once, about an hour ago. And nothing changed. I did it again about twenty minutes ago, and still nothing. A few minutes ago I tried yet another force quit. And .... that seemed to do the trick. The offending email message is gone.
So my problem seems to be solved.
But the larger issue remains of a major bug in Mac OS, it seems. If a dialogue box is larger than the screen size, how is someone ever going to be able to deal with closing it or anything else? It would make sense to automatically allow the cursor to scroll down to the very bottom of any dialogue box, regardless of its size. After all, that's how windows work, right?
Crazy!

Problem with inconsistent print dialogue box/Aperture and Elements?

I just purchased an Epson r1900. In Aperture everything is great! I can pull up icc profiles and the new print dialogue box features all the epson papers (glossy, Matte, Art, CD) in menus with submenus. But in Photoshop Elements 6, I get an old dialogue box which only shows the old Epson papers-Photo. Photo glossy, matte. There is no way, for instance, to choose Velvet art-and that is what I am using. It is driving me nuts. I have thrown out preferences, updated drivers, updated applications, fixed permissions...you name it. same thing in Apple Pages. Why am I not seeing the same dialogue box? Is this not OS controlled? The R1900 is always chosen. ( I do have an older printer as well, but definitely not selected.
any guidance appreciated!
thanks

I have the same problem since I installed Snow Leopard. I have upgraded to the newest canon driver for my Canon Pixma IP5200 printer. Calibrating seems to no longer have a reliable impact on my prints. Also Aperture under SL will not save my preset information for media type, paper source or print quality in the print settings.
I am assuming this is a bug related to SL and hopefully will be addressed soon... It is very frustrating as I have waisted a lot of time ink and photo paper in the days since I have moved up to SL
When will we see a fix?

Very weird dialogue box problem
