Weird Internet behavior

Hello all,
Hopefully I can type this fast before the internet gives out again.
Here is my problem: On my Mac, my wireless internet will go out periodically. It does not just boot me off of the network, it is entirely incapable of detecting any networks (when there should be 4 or 5 that it usually detects and that other devices are able to see). If I restart my computer the internet is *sometimes* able to come back, sometimes not. The same goes for turning the computer entirely off and then back on again. The time range that I am able to use the internet has varied from as little as 2 minutes to as great as 3 hours, but it always eventually disconnects (as well as becomes incapacitated from even detecting the networks). I am using a shared college-wide internet connection in an on-campus apartment, so I have no authority or control over the router. If it was a router problem I would merely begrudgingly wait for those to be resolved by the tech guys on campus and go a couple days without the internet, but I have reasons to believe it is not. Those reasons are the following:
- Other devices are able to detect the network and connect to it.
- The computer exhibits the same problem with different wireless connections that it had previously recognized off campus (tested at a friends house).
- The menus exhibit sporadic behavior after the disconnection. For example, the wireless icon at the top right will tell me that the wireless is on, but the 'Systems Preference' menu will tell me that it is off, and sometimes vice versa. When I press "turn Wi-fi on" whenever the Wi-Fi is exhibited as being "off" by the System Preferences menu, the button is entirely ineffective and does nothing. The same goes for the "Turn Wi-Fi On" option in the icon's expansion menu. However, even when both the icon and the preferences menu agree that the wireless is "on" (which is probably just a coincidence when that happens), whenever I enter either "Assistant" or "Diagnostics", a menu pops up informing me that my wireless is, as a matter of fact, off!
As I was typing this, I had to save my response in a notepad because the wireless gave out again and have now had to login twice. Does anybody know what's going on? Is there anything else I should try to illucidate this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Reset the PRAM.
Step 7
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 8
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

IPhone 6 Plus weird screen behavior

I recently started noticing some erratic touch behavior on my screen, it's as if I have a possessed phone such as taps that I did not make, or swipes (up/down/left/right) as well. The spotlight randomly swipes down, or the notification center (it seems like a consistent swipe down behavior but at different locations). I couldn't swipe left yesterday to unlock my phone, and sometimes hangs and only locking/unlocking can fix the unresponsiveness.
Moreover, random tappings affect games and apps such as whatsapp, where it goes to the previous page due to a top left page tap, and then again on the edit button, then starts randomly scrolling up and down and tapping random parts of the screen.
This is quite frustrating, I tried formatting and starting the phone as a new one and only installed Whatsapp, but the problem persisted, albeit at fewer occurrences.
Now I noticed the problem again even though I'm on iOS 8.1, with only apps, music, and photos synced back from iTunes. What is happening ? How can I get this fixed ?
Summary
Issue :
Erratic touch behavior which cannot be produced on demand
Rare screen unresponsiveness following the weird touch behavior
What I've tried :
Reset and start phone as New
Reset all Settings
Hard Reset
Currently using a sketching app to see how the screen taps randomly (for proof as well).

Hello zazu90,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your touchscreen is behaving erradically on your iPhone, please follow the steps below.
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the Service FAQ for your product.

Weird keyboard behavior in MacBook Pro 13'

Hi guys, I have a MacBook Pro that's starting to show a strange keyboard behavior.
The problem is that the keys: e r t y u i o (curiously all belong to the same row) sometimes get unresponsive.
It's very annoying of course and it happened about 4 months after upgraded to Lion.
The geneal perfomance of the laptop was deteriorated and I've read that a clean install of Lion might help so I've did it thinking that it will also fix any OS weirdness about the keys too.
The machine works way better after the clean Lion install but the problem of those same keys persist.
What I did next was to reset the PRAM thinking it might be interference from some weird state there. But after the reset the problem persisted.
Curiously, I've figured out that when, for example the i key gets unresponsive, if I press AND hold the e key then the i key works totally fine (think of typing an "I" but using e instead of shift).
If, when pressing the unresponsive keys, I use different angles or quantity of force in the pressure of the keys or cornes of the key the behavior stays the same. The only thing that seems to affect is holding the e key down before pressing it. Every time it gets weird I do it and it kind of get normal for a while.
Also, sometimes, keeping some seconds the unresponsive key ends up getting responsive again (but not always).
This mac has about two years now and it's very well preserved.
Do this happen to anyone? ideas?
Is there some other thing than PRAM I could reset to see if it gets normal again?

You are making me dig into nightmare-ish memories here.
Ok, I'll share.
This is how turned out:
Needed to send my MBP to another town with an Apple authorized service provider and asked to change the keyboard for a new one.
It was ~20 days waiting until they got the new keyboard part from Apple and about ~3 more to get it fixed and ~2 more to get it again in town.
I received it very well packaged and all was fine after that but the whole thing was very expensive, ~40% of the price I paid for the whole MPB in the first place plus all that time without being able to use it.

Weird Battery Behavior in 7.1.1

Has anyone else noticed weird behavior after upgrading to 7.1.1 - on my 5s its not that the battery is draining quickly - in fact its showin 5 hours 40 minutes usage with 75% remaining - which i find hard to believe
whats weird is standby time equals the usage time but i have turnd off and aback on the iPhone - I even did a hard reset - i have a monitor program which is showing the cpu as mostly idling at 90% or more ( although the monitor probably doesnt know about the M7 chip - it probably doesnt even know about the A7 chip too)
The battery percentage is not going down quickly - it seems to be thr same rate as with 7.1 but i dont believe these numbers
Im going to let the battery drain completely and do a battery calibration - that some times helps after IOS upgrades
But i was wondering if anyone else was seeing this and had any suggestions

Grant Hiesterman wrote:
Out of curiousity, how were the issues fixed/resolved other the past? With IOS updates? Other?
The problem has always been an errant app that got stuck in a loop. It can happen any time, but is more likely to happen right after an update. My hypothesis is that the update process suspends running apps, and sometimes after the update they "lose their place" and spin their wheels trying to find it. (It's easier to say it that way then to talk about race conditions.) What will frequently fix it is to run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off. This terminates all processes, even those that cannot be killed from the Quick Launch screen.
You can also try to find the app; if it's email turning off any Push email accounts, rebooting, and turning them back on will frequently fix it. If it's a 3rd party app killing all apps in the Quick Launch will frequently fix it.
Sometimes just turning off the phone for a few minutes will fix it.
Restoring the phone as new will usually fix it, but restoring from backup may not, because the app state may be preserved in the backup.
It really just a matter of trying things like these one at a time. One of them will work.
Do you or Trevor have a CPU monitoring app you believe is a quality application?
I've tried several, and haven't found any that I like. I like Trevor's answer.

Weird Internet Explorer problem!

Something really stranged has happened to my computer within the past couple of hours. I use IE 5 (yeah, I know...I am hopelessly out of date, but it has all my bookmarks and preferences and I like the way it functions much better than any other browser I've tried...). A little while ago I was doing some surfing and I guess something I did--some page I visited?--caused my Command key to be tied in to Subscriptions. I don't understand how this could be, but it's true. If I want to do something like copy + paste, or something else I might normally use the Command key for, I can't do it. Instead, my pushing the Command key causes a window to pop up asking if I wish to subscribe to the site in question. (Actually, at first, whenever I pushed Command, my subscriptions were updated, so I went in and deleted all my subscriptions, but that didn't take care of the underlying problem.)
I am not particularly computer literate. For instance, I can't even tell you what the bar across the top of my screen is called (the one that starts on the left with the Apple logo, followed by File, Edit, View, Go, etc.). But I can tell you that that bar, when I'm in IE, is fouled up. After "Go," there is a bunch of garbled stuff that reads, approximately (I can't type all the symbols), "p[symbols]>Favorites[symbol]AddPagetoFavoritesD[checkmark]OrganizeFavorites[bu nch of other symbols ending in a black apple]Update Su." Then the bar continues with Tools, Window, and Help. When I click on that bar and the dropdown menu appears, it is some weird, mangled, unusable version of my bookmarks. However, if I use the Favorites tab on the left side of the window, my bookmarks are there and usable.
I've poked all around in Help and Preferences and, not surprisingly, cannot find any way to undo this. (I'd be amazed if I actually found something telling me what to do if my Command key brings up my subscription window!) It's really unfortunate because, as I said, I like IE and this is making it pretty hard for me to use it, since I can't do anything involving the Command key.
Have any of you ever encountered this? It is about the weirdest thing my computer has ever done!
imac Mac OS 9.2.x IE 5

Hmmmm. Are you getting problems with disappearing
words in the menu in IE alone? How about other
programs or when you open your HD - any strangeness
with the titles in the windows?
It seems only to be in IE. By the way, I also have a Mozilla browser on my computer, which I installed because so many sites were simply not working with IE anymore. Mozilla is working fine. If I liked Mozilla as well as IE, I'd just use that, but it has numerous differences (mostly about commands and things like not being able to click and hold on an image or page to open it in a new window) and 9 times out of 10 I prefer the IE way of doing things (though that could mostly be habit).
IIRC, Microsoft is set to remove Internet Explorer
for Mac from it's website VERY soon..
Yeah, I think in April. It's too bad--IE for Mac has become the unwanted stepchild browser.Yahoo doesn't work with it (at least, not the version I have), and I frequently get alerts when I go to sites that tell me my experience won't be optimal since I'm using IE. But I really like it! I use Safari at work (I have OS X there) and, like Mozilla, it has various differences that bug me, plus it just looks strange--somehow less "live" than IE--as if I am looking at a PDF of a web page rather than the actual page.
In a pinch, there's also iCab which is a wonderful
browser that is still being developed for OS 9.

Thanks for the tip. But with an unusual browser like that, don't you get the same warnings all over the net about how this or that site doesn't support your browser?

Not a real problem anymore, but a weird Apache behavior wrt .php files

Hello everyone. Yesterday I was trying to set up an ordinary LAMP server in my VPS, running Arch (first time ever touching apache). After all was said and done, and apache and PHP were correctly configured following the Arch Wiki, I tried to get some things like phpmyadmin and ampache running, but I found out that my browser was asking me to download either a login.php file or an index.php file (to be more specific: I added a test.php file in /srv/http and that was interpreted correctly and I could see all the information as intented; if i pointed my browser to /phpmyadmin or /ampache though I would see the first page but after trying to, for example, logging in with phpmyadmin I'd get the download prompt). I googled around and yes, everything was configured as it should have, I had the AddHandler directive in the apache conf file and all that jazz. This morning, I log in, I start apache (since it wasn't working I figured that I might as well shut it down for the night and yes, while testing and setting up things yesterday I restarted the daemon every time) and everything works as it should: ampache lets me create my configuration, phpmyadmin lets me see my DBs and everything works. So, the problem apparently fixed itself, or at least the weird behavior I was witnessing is no more. Is there any specific reason for this? I wouldn't want to start from scratch (and I probably will, since I like to mess up a lot, that's how i learn!) to perhaps find myself in this spot again and not know what to do!

This was a problem with apache-2.2.17-2. Don't worry, it's fixed for good.

Weird keyboard behavior PS CS3

Hi all,
Every now and then it seems like my keyboard has gone nuts.
This always happens inside PS CS3. After doing some actions, especially when doing a 'Shift-Alt-Arrow key' action (duplicating a layer or group and moving), it looks as if the keyboard goes in some sort of 'Alt-Always-On' modus.
The annoying thing about this is, that regular keyboard-shortcuts for selecting a tool don't work (pressing 't' for the type tool does nothing) but far worse is the fact when you want to move a layer or group of layers they get unwantedly duplicated.
Sometimes this behavior seems to disappear, when I click around my desktop (outside of Photoshop), but sometimes it doesn't disappear. The only thing left to get rid of it is to quit and relaunch PS.
Does anyone else have this problem, and how can it be solved.
This weird keyboard thing does only appear in PS, every other application is not affected by it.
I'm running PS CS3 on Windows XP SP3
I have all updates of PS CS3 installed

Zeno,
I feel so stupid, but that also crossed my mind.
And to be honest, I think that is really the reason.
Why didn't I think of that before...

Weird compression behavior

I have been trying to compress some animation material for DVD. It is mostly flat colors with black outlines. The past few weeks I've been having trouble exporting to compressor via Final Cut (the connect to background process bug) and so I have been using reference movies loaded into Compressor standalone.
I am seeing weird behavior, though. When I compress the reference movie, the frames look fine although every now and then there are artifacts, pieces of the image that break down. I think of them as compression errors, and I suspected that the compression markers at the beginning of each clip were not being exported in the reference movie.
So I tried a few things and finally got Final Cut to connect to compressor directly. This worked in that the compression errors I was seeing are gone--HOWEVER, the overall quality of the encode has decreased markedly! The black lines around shapes are all jagged, and the whole image looks inferior to the one compressed in Compressor standalone.
The thing is, both of these were compressed using the exact same preset! Does anyone know what the deal is? I would like to get the image quality from the standalone Compressor encode, but without the artifacts.
Thanks for any advice,
Bob

Your mileage may vary with Compressor 2. Some like it, some don't.
As for your original question, I've never seen unexplained changes like what you describe in a preset's behavior with FCP HD and/or Compressor 1.2.1.
As for the "unable to connect to background process" problem I've seen that once in just over one year of use with Compressor and Final Cut. On this one occasion I just manually relaunched QMaster and everything was fine from then on.

Strange stacks icons and weird dock behavior

I got leopard for Christmas and on the first day of the install my icons on the right side of the dock- i guess the stacks for applications and downloads icons look weird. It's not a combination of all the icons in the stack like someone else wrote, it is a weird green, white, red rectangular shaped image with weird black and grey squiggles going through the middle. Also-I'm not sure how to describe it but what used to be a clear line I guess to separate the stacks stuff with the other icons on my dock it's next to about this mac icon on my dock has turned into a weird pink rectangle with a really small picture of the weird red, green, and white rectangle on top. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My husband is a windows guy and after me bragging about how much better mac is, I don't want him to know that I'm already having problems with leopard

No, this is not "normal behavior." The problem is that it is not consistent, either, so it is hard to tell what is going on. It may happen after using some full screen programs, but I am not sure. I am not able to reproduce the issue, myself. It just happens from time to time.
The icons are not changing after they are used. The ones in the download folder will usually have their normal appearance, the dmg file or a pdf file with its "preview" icon or whatever. Then, for some reason, I will notice some of the icons have become blocky and pixilated, not resembling anything, usually almost a solid color.
Again, the way to get them to change back is to remove the downloads folder from the doc and return it. Then all the icons return to their normal view.

Weird application behavior - solution

I recently had a major series of disk meltdowns. I suspect part of the problem may have been caused by letting my startup disk get too full and working with very large photoshop files (with photoshop using the startup disk as a scratch disk). Anyway, I managed to restore a clone of my startup drive, update all apps, and get back to work. I've cloned the startup drive to my second internal drive and intend to religiously update the clone whenever I update any applications (we'll see if I return to agnoticism). Anyway, several applications had weird behavior. Cleaner would succesfully compress one file and then quit. I could then restart cleaner and the batch list had successfully updated but again, just one compression and then a quit. DiskWarrior would successfully rebuild a drive directory but then quit without any notice. Today, I restarted from my cloned startup drive and ran diskwarrior on my main startup drive. Problem solved. Figured a few people out there might benefit from my experience.

Michael,
Often, the Quits are caused by a corrupt Property List file. When a number of apps have the Quits, that's another story. Back in v10.2, that was often caused by a hidden user prefs file
(~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist) where ~ is your user Home folder. You could try deleting it in Terminal, but I haven't heard of this causing these problems since Jaguar.
Maybe you could try creating a new user Account, log into the new Account and see if things improve. At least that would prove whether the cause has something to do with user prefs, including that hidden global prefs file.
I'm thinking it's a hardware problem, though.
EDIT: FWIW, here is the step-by-step for deleting that global prefs file and replacing it with a fresh copy:
1) Log in as an Administrator.
2) Create a new user account, called NewUser.
[The name isn't important, because you're going to delete this account when we're done].
2b) If the affected user account is not an administrator account, go ahead and make it one. You can revoke this privilege later, but it will make things easier for now.
3) Log out, and log back in as NewUser.
[This will initialize the account and create undamaged preferences.]
4) Log back out, and log in again as the user affected by the crashed (who, according to step 2b, is an Administrator).
5) Launch the "Terminal" application, located in /Applications/Utilities/
6) Type the following command (for all of the following, copy and paste):
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
7) Type this command:
rm .GlobalPreferences.plist
8) Type this command:
sudo cp /Users/NewUser/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .
[it will ask for an administrator password to allow you to log in as root for this action]
9) Type this command -- DON'T COPY-PASTE THIS ONE! YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR OWN USERNAME:
sudo chown USERNAME .GlobalPreferences.plist
10) Log out.
10b) If you enabled Admin access on an account that shouldn't have it, log back in as an Administrator and disable that Admin access.
11) Delete the NewUser account.
12) Log out, and log in to the affected acount.
There will be some System Preferences you'll need to reset afterwards.

Weird textinput behavior embedded font

I have this weird behavior with an embedded font in a textinput.
I have embedded the myriad font and aplied it on a textinput.
In this weird scenrio when i type "test configuration" in the textinput and then pres the left arrow key the cursors will not go further back than the letter n in the word configuration.
This behavior is only with some font types, like myriad or ubuntu.
Since i have no clue how to upload attachments to this forum i created a Box link
https://www.box.com/s/0boj6u2kgmwojbg9ubhd
In here i have a video of the behavior and a test project.

Not sure if this will help you, but in order to get my embedded fonts to render, I had to do:
                GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null;
                //setup text item from xml
                var res:XML = XML(xml.htmlText.children()[0]);
                var tf:TextFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromXML(res,WhiteSpaceCollapse.PRESERVE);
                tf.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;
                tf.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
                txt.textFlow = tf;
                txt.textFlow.whiteSpaceCollapse = WhiteSpaceCollapse.PRESERVE;
                txt.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
The important lines ar the first and last.

Nokia E52 weird internet connection

Hi!
I changed to E52 from E66, and i have weird issues. Its connecting to internet on every weekdey from 08:00->18:00. I dont have mailbox setuped, so it can't be the mail client.
How can I figure out what application connects to net?
thanks

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem. It wasn't easy but I solved it.
I remembered that I had a nokia messaging account which I deleted in the past.
And I remembered synchronize new updates was set to on which means "push email".
(I do not think it is a real push as it is working with permanent connection).
I realized that the permanent connection is between the hours which was set for synchronizing emails. It seemed that however I deleted the mailbox, but the configuration was still working. And really!!!
I re-added the same mailbox which was deleted before. There was a notification during the adding process, this account exists already or something like that. I choosed yes, to merge it to the existing account.
After this I was able to switch the synchronization off and delete it again.
This solved my problem, maybe can help anybody.
Regards,
Tibor

Weird window behavior after 10.10.3

I have an interesting issue with 10.10.3 finder window within Column view. In Illustrator and only Illustrator, when I go to Open or Place a file my finder window looks like this:
Look to the far right, I can’t view the files within the folder. And the grey scroll bar abruptly ends. I can't go any farther to view items in folder. I can resize columns but I have to do every time. To add to the weirdness, it is just the Open command this happens. If I do a Save As, it looks like this:
And I can view the files.
I have trashed Finder window prefs and Illustrator prefs and no luck.
Any thoughts???

I've got exactly the same issue with Illustrator CS6. Have tried updating Java with no luck. I'm also getting the same thing in the 'scroll view' (or whatever it's called) finder. Photoshop isn't affected. This only happened after I upgraded to 10.10.3. What I do know is that it's annoying

Lion produces weird trackpad behavior in Angry Birds

I upgraded to Lion this week. I know there are all sorts of new trackpad features, but the probem is that it messes up a lot in Angry Birds. For example, the various finger-swipes have unpredictable results; instead of resetting the screen, it might activate launchpad. Or it might jump you back to the "play" splash screen. The pinch and expand gestures might randomly activate mission control instead of zooming the way it did in pre-Lion Angry birds. And quite often, I'm finding that the trackpad stops responding at all! No matter what gesture I use, the bird sits there in the slingshot, unmoved, unless I restart the app. It's weird.
I've adjusted the trackpad settings in Settings as much as possible to accommodate gameplay, but AB still responds unusually to gestures, without regard to either the specified setting or to its pre-Lion performance. It seems like Apple put way too many features into every slight gesture on a trackpad, so it's become LESS intuitive because gameplay gestures trigger spontaneous resets and screen modifications instead of, well, game interaction.

Works for me and thanks i just try to see because i didn't play in Lion and the level that i was stuck in i pass it in the first try so thank you it works for me.But is true playing that game you can't do much gestures same thing happening before lion,just open it play it and close it.
