Weird hieroglyphics showing up where HUD controls should be

Recently moved my system to 2010 Mac Pro. I did this manually because I wanted to reinstall FCS3. But now Motion is showing me weird hieroglyphics in place of where my HUD controls should be.
I posted a picture here:
http://www.truelifemedia.com/guestfolder/motionissue.tiff
Seems like it's using strange thumbnails of currently running programs...
Any thoughts?

The MXO might be contributing, no way for me to tell from here. You can only remove the device and connect a known display.
I am sorry deleting prefs did not solve anything for you. it was unlikely at best.
Reinstalling your entire system from scratch is the next logical step but there is no guarantee it will solve anything either. Be sure to make a clone of your system drive to your external drive, just in case. (A scorched earth approach to rebuilding your drive will take 4-12 hours. You've probably already wasted that much time. But rebuilding your drive will solve noting if you have a bad graphics card or the EPROMS on the card need to be reflashed and, no, I have no idea how to do that, sorry.)
Keep us posted.

Blue dots where volume control should be.

I just got my iPod nano and when I turned it on this morning to listen to a song blue circles were where the blue bar is supposed to be at the bottom of the screen when you are listening to a song. I can still turn the volume up and down, and listen to the song. But I can no longer see how long the song is or where I am in the song.
Did I just press something to make it do this? Please help me fix it! Thanks - Canadianskibabe

all u have to do is hit the middle button to cycle through menus.

Powermac G5 wont sleep, and weird squares show up where mouse is

I just reinstalled for the third time Tiger on my Dual 2gb G5 with a 30" Cinema, Was working great till I reinstalled to OS to make a new user account. Now it wont sleep, When I manually put it to sleep, the mouse dissapears, and nothing else happens. It also gets these 1/16" squares and weird anolmolys on the screen when the mouse sits, especially when I scroll wheel, It makes a line of squares. I have tried resetting the PMU, (opening the case and pushing the little button on the Mother board).
I am at a loss, Can you reset the pram on the G5? or is it even nessesary?
when it goes to the screen saver the screen just freezes, and then wakes up from the screen saver fine.

Stumbled upon the answer, I didnt remember ever installing the drivers for the ATI Video card, but had a brain **** and installed them from the web, Solced the problem, Thanks. Your last line was inspired!

When I go to Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

After the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 update When I go to use Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black. Why?

When i click on a photo to edit, the photo doesn't show up and the area where the photo should show up is black. Why? I can edit some photos, whereas others I can not.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (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.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

When I downloaded new photos, they showed up as grayed out areas, without any photo there, just the gray spaces shown where a photo should be.

I downloaded a bunch of photos, but instead of them showing in each space, they were all grayed out, NO photos were shown, just blank gray spaces,where each photo should be, this has just started to happen the last month or so.

Click this little triangle and choose Reset Tool from the popout menu:

My phone shows extended where it should show Verizon

My phone started showing extended where Verizon should be I have not left the county where my phone is registered. I have restored my phone and its network settings. I went to Verizon and they actually sent me a warranty phone and it still says extended. I know its not a big deal but it bugs me and if it cant be fixed I just want to know what is causing the issue. It just started a couple weeks ago.

I'm sorry to learn that your phone continues to display an extended network, mitchellpalles. I would like to review your account to ensure you are provisioned correctly. I have sent you a direct message here. Please reply to my message for further assistance.

Which sharpen controls should I use: RAW or Sharpen?

With Aperture 1.1.1, which sharpen controls should I be using? The control in the RAW settings, or the separate Sharpen tool that appears farther down in the HUD?
Are there situations where one tool is better than the other?

Hi,
I would suggest trying to sharpen through the standard adjustment tools first. This is the safest place to make adjustments if you are not familiar with RAW decode. Apple recommended RAW decode usually works well for most cameras.
If you camera RAW images are always coming in with the need for a little sharpening, then it would be good to adjust Sharpening in the RAW Fine Tuning. This will effect all subsequent imported images. Keep in mind that you can always switch back to the Apple default if you need to.

I have a pc running windows 7. I got an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi and the printer is now plugged into the Airport. The wireless router works fine but the printer shows as offline in control panel and in word. The printer is a HP LaserJet CP1525nw.

+For now I have it set to Share Public IP address - Is this correct for my Network Setup with The Airport Extreme being the only router being used ?+
This would be the correct setting if the AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port).

5 GHz name indicates that you have elected to use the option to assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network. This will allow you to "tell" compatible computers to connect to that network, rather than the slower 2.4 GHz network
Use Wide Channels is recommended for 5 GHz operation.
Interference Robustness often does more harm than good and should not be used unless you know you are in a area with a lot of wireless networks and you feel that your network is experiencing interference issues from a nearby network.

Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

Weird squiggles showing up in preview/published version but not on the stage

When I preview or publish my animation, these weird lines show up that aren't on the stage. There's no hidden layers, and I can't figure out how to stop them from appearing. I'm using CS5 on Windows 7
The squiggles are near "Watt"-
But they don't show up-
Any help would be appreciated!

It doesn't look like squiggles/noise, but moreso like pieces of drawings that are not attached to anything. Try to narrow down the location of the extra artwork, by changing one layer at a time to be a guide layer. As son as you see them disappear you should know which layer to focus your attention on.

Show counts where an account has a code(s) but not other code(s) on it

Hi I'm fairly new to PowerPivot so I'm sure one of the experts has a good answer for this.
We have customer accounts that have service codes attached to them…i.e customer 123 could have service code 1,2,3,4,5 etc..
What I want to do is show counts where a customer has service code(s) but doesn't have other code(s).
For example, maybe I want to show how many active customers have service code 1 but don't have service code 4 and 5.
Is there a simple way I can do this?
Also I want to create this to allow for the user to choose which codes to select to compare.
I tried using slicers but that doesn’t seem like an option.
This should be easy to figure out I would think but I’m struggling.
Anyone have a recommendation to point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Apologies, I do not have a copy of 2010 on my computer, but here are all of the formulae:
IncludeCount:=CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( VALUES( CustomerCodes[customer] ) )
, USERELATIONSHIP( CustomerCodes[service code], IncludeCode[Include] )
ExcludeCount:=CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( VALUES( CustomerCodes[customer] ) )
, USERELATIONSHIP( CustomerCodes[service code], ExcludeCode[Exclude] )
Include1:=IF( [IncludeCount] - [ExcludeCount] > 0, 1, 0 )
CustomerCount:=SUMX(
VALUES( CustomerCodes[customer] )
, [Include1]
And here are the tables I've got:
CustomerCodes:
customer
service code
1

This should be everything you need to recreate exactly what I've done and then apply it to your model.
