Weird behavior in Classic or not?

It has been a long time since I've needed to use Classic (on 10.4.something) Today I needed to do something that could only be done in classic. I thought I saw some weird behavior so I tried a couple of other classic apps. All started Classic just fine, brought up their document window and menu bar. But there was no classic desktop under the app's window and while the menu bar showed "finder" as an open application that could be switched to (the right-most menu item) but when I switched to it I got the OS X finder, not a OS 9 one. Occasionally I can get what looks like a Finder menu bar, but that's on it are the Apple and Help and the app switcher.
Recently I've been playing with Sheepshaver on a Snow Leopard system, which brings up an honest-to-goodness OS 9 desktop.
Now, I am misremembering how Classic works (in effect, no desktop and no finder) or is something wrong. I checked all three of my systems running Tiger and they have the same behavior. (A G4 -- that will still boot into OS 9, a powerbook G4, and a mac-mini.)

OK, I found an article on rebuilding the desktop and it indicated that while there is a file for the OS9 desktop, in the classic environment it is invisible and can only be found through an alias that is created on the OS X desktop. I suspect I've deleted that alias since I didn't have any particular need for it. The article tells you how to re-create the alias from the terminal. indeed there is a folder there and it is empty. No particular use for it -- if you select Desktop from an OS 9 app you get the OS X desktop. I can also see why there's no real OS 9 finder -- anything you could have done from it you can do from the OS X finder -- except the "Apple Menu" and that's why that's under the classic icon on the right half of an OS X menu bar. There still is a "rebuild desktop" in the Classic prefs -- I assume that's so you get the right doc/app association in the classic environment, since I don't think OS X understands the classic creator/type info.
So sounds very much like I'm misremembering!

Wireless keyboard weird behavior (useless)

Hello.
Today I cleaned up my wireless keyboard with a tissue and a little of alcohol but after I cleaned the keyboard starts to have a weird behavior: The keys are not working, other keys are like stuck and depressed and other just does not respond.
The keyboard is useless like that.
I will let it dry well until tomorrow to see if it works. The batteries are new.
Any help will be very useful.
Thank you.

If alcohol got inside the keyboard you may have ruined it however only time will tell. If it does going forward it's OK to use isopropyl alcohol however put it on a rag or cotton ball and use that to rub the keyboard clean.

Weird behavior in master-detail

Dear Forum,
I need to implement an application but I still have a halting error.
I have this strange problem and I'll try to explain.
I have this masterscreen with search functionality. When I do a search, I get a result. When I now enter the details screen of the second row of the search result and I change the fields on the details screen and do a commit, I get the message that the changes were made successfully, but I see the primary key jump to the value of the primary key from the details of the first row of the search results on the masterscreen.
And when I look at the details of the first row, the changes were made in this details, and NOT in the details in which I needed to make the changes.
And now more weird... I can only reproduce the problem in Internet Explorer and whatever I try, it works correct in Firefox.
So the functionality should work as supposed, as it wouldn't work in Firefox.
Has anyone encountered this problem before or does anyone has a solution or tip to get to the solution?
Your help is much appreciated.
Arjen

Steven,
When I tried to create the logs you requested, I ran up to a different problem, also affecting this behavior. When I repaired this, still the weird behavior took place in Internet Explorer. And in Firefox the problem was solved. So I tried to disable the cache in Internet Explorer. This solved the problem there as well..
So this behavior doesn't happen anymore with the cache disabled, thus solved this problem.
Thanks for the effort anyway.

Weird behavior in opening Aperture images in Photoshop

I have found a lot of really weird behavior when opening Aperture images in an external editor (in my case, Photoshop, so I'll use PS to refer to it):
1) If the master image is opened in PS, a new version is created when the file is opened, not saved. So quitting PS without saving leaves you with a new version of the file, regardless of whether you actually saved any changes or not.
2) If a version (not the master) is opened in PS, a new version is not created, either on open, or on save. So in other words, changes to that version in PS when saved overwrite that version, and the previous condition of that version is lost (with respect to versioning).
3) If multiple versions of the same image are opened simultaneously in PS, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the difference between them in PS, except for visually (possibly meta-data, but I haven't checked that, nor would I want to be forced to). The file names of all versions are exactly the same.
I'm looking for feedback from anyone out there who can explain why this isn't completely quacky version control. I've been using version control almost my entire career (as a software programmer) and here's how I have seen almost invariably version control work:
1) New versions of files are always created upon commit, i.e. saving of the file, not on opening a file. (Do not confuse this with working copies, think about what is present in the repository).
2) Opening / editing any file version is never destructive. Any change to that file version that is saved (committed) results in a new version, not an overwrite to the same version.
Aperture's interface basically has combined what traditional version management has represented separately, that being the client and repository views of a project. They are showing all versions of a file simultaneously. This is fine, but I'm really not liking the fact that some changes create new versions, other changes overwrite versions, and one case, merely opening the file creates a new version, whether there are any changes saved or not. In addition, when working with multiple versions in the editor, the file name and/or interface doesn't give any indication of what version you are working with. Easy to say that's the fault of the external editor, but I disagree -- all external editors are going to work with filenames, so Aperture should produce a unique namespace for any file version so that any external tool will be able to distinguish (visually) one file from another.
Is this completely wacky version management, or is it just me?

Hi Bradley,
Due to the way I personally use Photoshop, I want Aperture to behave as it does.
That's because, with Photoshop, I use layers extensively. Any edits I do (levels, curves, saturation, sharpening) I do on layers. I can delete the layers at any time (or select to show or hide them). Because of this, I actually WANT Aperture to behave the way it does. Once I've done a bunch of edits in Photoshop, if I select again to edit that file in the external editor, I want to work on that specific file (to add another layer, or change one). I don't want another duplicate. I tinkered with this over the weekend, and it worked very nicely for me.
Perhaps you work differently from within Photoshop? Do you ever use layers? If I were to have a bunch of Photoshop "versions," each with 5 layers, I'd have like 5 GB of "versions" for my original 8 MB RAW file, due to the size of PSD files. Yuck

Weird behavior in UCCX 7.0.1 SR05

Hi team,
I've got a weird behavior in a UCCX 7.01 SR05 installation.
All incomming calls which go to an agent who is set "ready" set the agent to state "not ready" and go to queue...
This behavior also occurs with standard script icd.aef.
Had anybody has same behavior in an UCCX 7 installation? Or can anybody help me? I checked my configuration twise and couldn't find
any issue.
Thanks a lot,
Tobias

I've seen this happen before because of a CUCM configuration issue. Check whether the CUCM Calling Search Space for the UCCX CTI ports can call the partition of the agent's extension. My guess is that the call attempts to connect but CUCM will not allow it to go through. UCCX then marks the agent as "Not Ready" and drops the call back in queue.

How to force Tiger to print doc within Classic environment, not with OSX?

I want to print certain documents using OS9's printing utility within the Classic environment, and NOT using Tiger's standard OSX printing method. How?
I know it is possible because I have two Macs connected to the same printer, and it works on one and not the other. I can't figure out why.
Here are the specifics:
I have a printer, the Ricoh Laser AP2600. Connected to it are two computers:
a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.7, and
an iMac running 10.3.9.
When I print documents from OSX applications, the two computers take the exact same time to print. HOWEVER, when I print from Classic applications, the iMac running 10.3.9 prints very quickly, but the PB running 10.4.7 takes two to three times as long. That's because the iMac prints the document using the old OS9 "Print Monitor" printing utility, and never passes the printing back to Tiger. Whenever I try to print a document from a Classic application on the PB, however, it passes the printing to the standard OSX printing method, which (for some reason) is much slower.
(Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology.)
I checked and double-checked, and as far as I can tell, all the "printer descriptions" and "drivers" and everything else is absolutely identical in both System 9 "Extension" folders on both computers. I installed the exact same Ricoh print-driver packages for OSX and Classic on both machines identically. So -- why does one print quickly within Classic, and the other pass the printing job back to slow OSX?
The specific application that causes this discrepancy is MSWord 5.1a, a very old version that only works under Classic. (I use it a lot because I prefer it to more recent versions of MSWord.)
A secondary, but related, question: Why does printing documents from within the Classic environment go so much more quickly than in OSX? It seems to be one of the few aspects of OSX that's worse than OS9.
So -- how can I make my PB behave like my iMac? Is there some difference between 10.3.9 and 10.4.7 that causes this different behavior? Any hints or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

OK, I have finally solved the problem -- mostly.
The trick was to click on the Chooser option called "PSPrinter" -- not LaserWriter 8 or any of the others. I took a chance on that since I knew that the Ricoh 2600 was a PostScript printer. When I clicked on it, and chose "Set up printer," I was able to set up the Ricoh driver. Then, when I tried printing, it worked -- it printed within the Classic environment, not in Tiger. And what a difference!! Under Tiger, a simple page of text takes 45 seconds to process and print. Under Classic, the exact same page processes and prints in 8 seconds! A huge difference. So, I finally got it to work.
The downside is that I can't get it to "stick." If I restart Classic (or the entire computer), the next time I go back to print in MSWord 5.1a (my Classic application), it will have reverted back to the Tiger method of printing. So, the first time I print a page in 5.1a during any session, I have to go to Chooser and select PSPrinter. This adds 15 seconds or so to the process, so printing a single page overall isn't any faster, if you add up all the steps. Subsequent prints all are done quickly in Classic automatically, as long as Classic hasn't restarted. (I can even quit the application and restart it without a problem -- only an OS restart causes it to revert back to Tiger printing.)
So, my basic problem is solved, and I'm fairly satisfied. But I still have two nagging issues that I wouldn't mind answered if anybody knows the answers:
How can I make my Chooser printer selection in Classic "stick" permanently from one restart to the next? Why does it revert to Tiger printing after a restart?
And the fundamental question: why is Classic printing so much faster than Tiger printing? I thought Tiger was supposed to be a "digital hub" that made communicating with peripherals so easy? In most ways it is, but why is printing the one way in which OSX is WORSE than OS9, at least in regards to speed?

My macbook had a weird behavior on the display, now it won't go further than gray loading screen with the apple logo

My macbook had a weird behavior on the display, now it won't go further than gray loading screen with the apple logo. It's a macbook pro early 2011. I've read that those are having issues, if there's someone i can contact for further information, report the issue since it's getting common or any temporal solution available. Thanks

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Weird behavior by APD

Hi Guru's
I am observing very weird behavior in one of the process chain at APD step.APD step is getting failed due to lack of logs and due to this chain status is changed to failure in work-load automation screen.But without my intervention this step finishes successfully by getting logs after few minutes.Now we have to change chain status to success in WLA to run further dependent loads.Could anybody help me out in this aspect to avoid unnecessary change in its status and how it is picking up logs.
Thanks!!!
Kuldeep

Logs not found --> Could it be due to table space issue? Did you have a look at the parameters? Is there a short dump in ST22? Ideal solution would be to fix the logs not found issue. We can also think about work arounds to restart the process chain automatically after the APD finishes successfully. But may be you can work with your basis team to see if it is table space related issue.

Weird Behavior. Why does Safari do this?

Please, can someone explain to me why Safari (1.3.2) hops tabs? I click a link in one tab and instead of going forward to that link, replacing this tab's contents, it jumps (not all the time but usually) to a different open tab and replaces what was there. Unless I hold the command key before clicking a link. WHY does it do this?
Any help will be greatlt appreciated. I'm about to move on to Firefox because of this weird behavior.

So I figured I would switch to flickr for photos.
Safari won't even upload in Safari!!!!
I Choose the photo. And that's it. Safari will not go to the next step in flickr either.
Both photobucket and flickr work and upload photos fine using FIREFOX.
God I'm just so tired of Apple stuff not working.

Weird : PC suite applications panel not working !

Hello, I have a very weird behavior of my PC suite since I upgraded to latest build (6.8.22) > I can't use anymore the Nokia app "lauchapplication.exe" panel to launch any of the Nokia apps : whenever I click on one of them, nothing happens (except phone explorer and SMS, who are still working). BUT if I try to launch directly any of these apps (multimedia messages, application installer, etc.) from within the c:\programs files\Nokia\ etc, they're all working like a charm. I tried several uninstallation / reinstallation plus cleaning of pc suite, etc. no way. This behavior is encountered either if my N70 is connected by bluetooth or by usb cable.I'm running XP family SP2. Any idea, gentlemen ? Thanks for your attention and help :-)

Hi,
Quite weird....
Does this happen only when phone is connected?
Could you list all applications which are not start via panel?

HELP! Sudden weird behavior in Aperture and MobileMe!

So, I am running the latest version of Aperture and have been successfully publishing many albums to mobileme.
I have several external hard drives connected to my computer, and almost all of my image files in aperture are referenced. Lately I have been importing the images from SD cards directly into the aperture library, editing, then relocating the masters so that i would only store the keepers (i went this route because it was unclear to me whether or not originals were also deleted if i deleted referenced files--the pop up wording seems vague to me). I usually back up the new image files on the harddrives manually, and then back up the aperture library to a vault after every major import. I also wait until I have done this to reformat my sd cards.
Of course, this morning, something happened. We had a power outage, and although i have my entire system on UPS units, i had to shut everything down because the batteries only last so long. I did not have time to perform my usual Vault back up. I had a handful of projects with masters in the aperture library (not yet edited and masters relocated). There is one project I do not still have on sd card so that one (and inconvenience for the others) hangs in the balance.
The situation is this: When I rebooted after our power outage (i reiterate that all hard drives as well as the main mac were shut down safely and properly on battery power), all referenced file projects appear normal, but I cannot see any images in the projects with masters stored in the aperture library. The weird part is that if i put the pointer over those projects, i do get the little balloon that tells me how many versions are in each project. It's like aperture knows they are there, but I don't see them. And another weird thing--the REJECTED images from these projects DO appear when I click on the Rejected Smart Album. And the starred images from those projects DO appear when I click on the one-star-or-better smart album. I don't get it.
I also cannot see some of the mobileme galleries within aperture when i select them. When i went on-line to see my gallery, there is some weird behavior...some albums are acting strange, confusing images from other albums, or not accepting my username and password settings (I know they are right), or giving me a different album when I select one to look at.
PLEASE HELP if you can. If I need to, I can always restart from my vault version of the library and reimport last week's stuff from the sd cards, but i'd rather not do that, not to mention there is that one project i will lose.
I'm here waiting for anyone who thinks they can help!
Thanks,
Heather

Hi Heather
I was wondering if I was the only one with this problem. Unfortunately I don't have an answer. I'm running Aperture 2 on a MacBook, with my library on an external drive. The problem is increasing; it seems that most (but not all) recent projects are affected, but none that I created before the problem first started.

Constant spinning beach ball, other weird behaviors in Mail

I have been using Mail for years without any problems. Now it gives me the spinning beach ball constantly during use. Could it be because of a recent switch from Verizon to Comcast? At first I thought it had something to do with retrieving messages, which seemed to interrupt message-writing or message-reading. So I set the pref to retrieve manually, but the beach ball continues to spin. It seems random, not related to any particular action, and occurs two or three times every time I use Mail. When the beach ball spins, Mail seems locked up. I also have noticed that sometimes there's a delay when the message headers are loading, and sometimes when I click to open a message, the box comes up empty for a few seconds, then the text flows in. All weird behaviors I have not seen before! Any advice? I tried rebuilding my inbox, but this seems to happen in various user-created mailboxes too -- not any single mailbox.

Some weird behaviors with AD RMS

I spotted some weird behaviors in my Windows 2012 RMS setup:
1. When opening an expired encrypted document in Outlook 2011(Macbook), it shows "IRM cannot start because the system clock has been changed"
2. Encrypted email can't be previewed if user uses Outlook in RDS server
3. "Permission will expire within 60 days" although I set the expiration to tomorrow
Can I know are they default behaviors? Or its due to my wrong configuration?

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized. The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect. The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable. When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine). There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo. Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?
