Weird selection problem

Hopefully this is an easy one. In Illustrator CS4... my object is de-selected and I try to select and drag (in one move) like previous versions of illustrator, it acts as if the object is locked, it just selects it... Leaving it selected, if I then try again to drag the object it works. I basically need to select the object before I can move it. I have tried trashing the preferences to reset the app, but with no luck. Any ideas?

farmer,
... The Preferences trashed were: User/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings
Hopefully with Illy closed: otherwise it changes nothing. But sometimes deleting is not enough, and you need to Move the folder
Are there any separate preferences I have missed, I read somewhere about document preferences?
None that would create this issue.

Weird Selection Problem - Mouse starts selecting everything when going near line numbers

In Dreamweaver CS6 Mac Code View, if I move the mouse near the line numbers it goes into some weird selection mode: It tries to select everything I move the mouse over.
It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens frequently enough to be very annoying.
How can I disable this?
I have looked through the options and cannot find anything. I have also searched on Google.
I have been using Dreamwaver's code view since Dreamweaver MX and have never come across this problem before.

I am very sure that slim was done. It didn't start it as a daemon, I only let it respawn on runlevel 5 (in inittab). After I went in 3 and closed it, It didn't respawn. I looked at the display and I looked at ps -ef | grep slim and waited ;-)
Anyways, seems like I was right: slim is simply not doing something.
Now I have i my slim.conf:
# Commands executed when starting and exiting a session.
# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
sessionstart_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY %user
sessionstop_cmd /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY %user
With who I have now:
jonnyjd :0.0 2007-11-06 22:00
The :0.0 made with -l $DISPLAY and seemed common. You can do anything you like I guess. -a stands for "add" and -d for "delete". Usually you have a -w and -u option also, but in Arch the wtmp and utmp are in the standard location, so we don't need them.
The session*_cmd entries in slim.conf were inserted for exactly this purpose somewhere in the year 2005, referring to the bug-database of slim (http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=2663)
Okay, so I learned something new today
EDIT:
If you don't have xdm installed, than you shouldn't need the "-x" part. This is basically only needed when you have more than one x-display controlled by a login manager, which slim can't do anyways. So it would be a nice and clean: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY %user (edited the above .conf)

Weird BGP path selection problem

Hi, all,
I am seeing a weird BGP path selection problem on 4948 switch running cat4500-entservicesk9-mz.122-46.SG.bin code, this switch has two uplinks to the same ISP's different edge router, one circuit is primary the other one is strict backup, only default route is accepted from ISP. I am setting both local preference and weight to the default route advertised over backup link, however neither one is taking effect, BGP still thinks the backup link is better, what could be wrong?
rtr#sh ip bgp 0.0.0.0/0
BGP routing table entry for 0.0.0.0/0, version 105

Hi,
On cisco routers , weight is having highest preference to decide best path. By default for received route, weight is 0 but you are setting weight 90 to backup path and that is why it is getting preferred (higher is better). Please remove weight and let local preference be 90 (lesser than route on primary path)

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.

Selection Problem with JTable

Hello,
i have a selection problem with JTable. I want to allow only single cell selection and additionally limit the selection to the first column.
I preffered the style from MS Outlook Express where you can select the email accounts to edit.
It is a table like this:
Account name |   Type |   ...
--------------|---------|---------------------
Hotmail       |   POP3 |
GMX           |   IMAP |The selection should be only avaibable at 'Hotmail' or 'GMX' - not at 'POP3', 'IMAP' or as complete row selection.
Please help me!
Thanks.

Select Problem For 'Back Menus' - Zen V P

Just got the Zen V Plus and tried to set the time/date. Followed the 'guide' and after the time/date screen pressed the 'back button'. Got the Set Alarm/Date/Time (etc) menu but when I selected an option (moved joystick down to desired option then pressed the joystick) the time/date display came up and I was NOT ABLE to set the date. Same thing occurred trying to set the date (tried it several times and it worked once .... then attempted again - several times (4) but it only worked once). Turns out I have the same problem with any option in ANY 'back' menu. Suggestion?
Do I have a defecti've unit (can't be the 'operator' who is defecti've! haha)? Should I return it and try another?
Actually not that interested in playing music .... it's more for playing .wma(DRM) book files.

Latest ... updated my firmware (to ZENVPlus_PCFW_P4S_L2___0.exe) and it fixed the select problem for SET DATE/TIME etc however
the SELECT procedure doesn't always work for 'back button' menus. Example: tried to set a bookmark... following procedure in 'guide', pressed 'back button' and held it, from 'NOW PLAYING' screen - works 2 out of 5 times. Most of the time, pressing and holding takes you back to the previous menu - not to the 'back' (or in this case the SET BOOKMARK) menu. Sounds like something for the next version of firmware ... the code doesn't always set an internal timer correctly (am a programmer of 30 years ... part of that time pgmmng firmware).

Print selection problem

when i select a page to be print from my pc the page select in

Hello. I feel your pain and frustration with the print selection problem in safari, especially in Snow Leopard. I have spent hours trawling help pages and forums etc. BUT YEE HAA (sorry got a bit excited, but it really was hours) I found the answer. So here goes.
Click on Safari
Scroll down to services then slide to right
Scroll down to services preferences and click
Scroll down to the Text section
If you Tick the Text box it will choose all options for you. Or if you don't want all options in the Text list, then untick Text box and tick options you do want.
BUT for your print selection problem make sure you tick NEW TEXT EDIT WINDOW CONTAINING SELECTION.
Then when you want to select something in a web page you want to print (including pictures etc) then highlight it, then Right click. And low and behold, in the list is NEW TEXT EDIT WINDOW CONTAINING SELECTION. Click that, Then press cmd+p and your printing.
I really hope that helps with your problem
I can now go to sleep.

You need to set a "Hide" after the write... I suggest you also set your own dialog PF-STATUS too so you can have just a PF2 "pick" button and a Cancel button ( this will look better to the user).

Weird audio problem during calls

I have a weird audio problem and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or could help...
My wife and I both have iPhone 5's and sometimes (not all the time) when she calls me (or I call her), it connects, but no matter which audio input I choose (phone, bluetooth, speaker, headphones), I cannot hear her, but she can hear me... I hang up, call back (and when I call, there is no dialing sound, nor any other phone sounds) and it's the same thing. Sometimes restarting the phone works, other times I have to restart it 3-4 times before it'll work again. I try different things during these calls, like turning on/off bluetooth and/or wifi (pretty much anything I can think of that would make a difference), but nothing seems to help.
The (other) weird part is that after the last time of this happening, I tried calling my iPhone with my office phone and it worked fine, so then I immediately call my wife back with my iPhone and it was doing the same thing again. I called her back using my office phone and could talk to her fine...
This problem has been going on for a few months now and I have tried restoring the phone a couple times (and I am on the latest iOS) and sadly, that hasn't done anything to help... Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? I'd make an appointment for the problem, but since it doesn't do it all the time, I don't know what good it would do... But it is getting very frustrating!
Thanks for any help!
-Jason

Thanks for the response! It happened again yesterday... It seems to be happening more frequently in the past few weeks now.
I checked the link and have tried all of the things listed at one point or another over the past few months. I did just check my Carrier settings and it said it had updated (it's on 14.1), but I am not sure when that happened (could have been today, could have been after my last restore last week, not sure). I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe that fixed it...
If it continues to act up, would you recommend that I bring the phone in to an Apple store or an AT&T store? I bought the phone through Apple, but my carrier is AT&T (and if you suspect that the problem may be with the cellular conection), maybe the AT&T store would be the better choice?
I really wish the problem would be more consistant or go away, cause trying to get the problem solved is driving me crazy!

Slooow internet and weird mouse problems?

I recently upgraded my iMac to Leopard (10.5.4) and started having weird mouse problems. At start up, mouse would be frozen in upper left corner. I'd restart, switch mice, restart, over and over. I use a Wacom tablet w cordless mouse plus Apples alum cordless keyboard. Eventually I tried switching USB ports for my Wacom tablet and the mouse was OK. I have learned that when this problem occurs, I need to shut down and unplug everything. That seems to solve it. Anyone know why? ALSO, ever since upgrading I have found the Internet to be appallingly slow. I have 2 GB memory and just upped my internet speed (supposedly) through Embarq.

hmm, what is a mouse usb or a keyboard usb?
arent all the usb ports same?
I really wish to show you how this happens it is really fun, but also annoying. especially when I am playing a game. it is interesting to watch the screen when suddenly all the world starts rotating when you are playing a first person shot'm up.

KT6V Weird boot problems

Hi..
I'm having this weird boot problem (and no it doesn't seem to be the standard one)
OK..
I have the following :
AMD Athlon 2000+
KT6V LSR mainboard
2x 256 Crucial PC2700 memory
IDE Hard Disk (120gb segate)
Creative 5700ultra Graphics card (AGP)
Cd Rom
Chieftec 400w PSU
WinXP Pro
If I set my CPU FSB to 100mhz (everything else on auto).. win Xp pro boots fine and all is pretty good except that my chip is now seen as a lowly 1.25ghz..
If I then set my CPU FSB to 133 or 166 then the machine boots (ie it beeps etc..).. starts to load windows xp (I get the logo and that's when the problem happens) and either black screens (ie.. nothing and the monitor turns off) or blue screens with the windows message saying that windows has detected a hardware fault and has halted the system..
I know my memory, chip, heatsink etc all work because just over an hour ago they all worked fine in my KT3 ultra.
What is going on as I've tried almost everything to try and solve this, with the only option to set the FSb to 100mhz which is incorrect for my CPU.
How do I fix this.
I've looked through the forum but this is not the same problem as simple reboots.. this is weird.
If I can't fix this then I guess it'll be send it back.. which is a shame because I like MSi motherboards.
Thanks
Slippery

Hi..
I've checked the CPU heatsink.. and nothings wrong !
(Can't check the voltage but I know the PSU is Ok as I did run it in a custom case with 4 Cd writters, 4 HDs, loads of lights etc.. before I moved to this new plain case tonight)
What's weird is that set at 100FSb it's fine but at 133 or 166 it just crashes after the loading XP logo is displayed. Up until that point it's all fine.
But why does it run Ok at 100mhz and not 133mhz ?
Please help.. before I end up fixing this with a hammer !
Thanks

Weird genre selection problem

Hi,
I just got my Video iPod on Wednesday and I've just been getting used to it. One problem I'm having is that when I go to select a certain genre, I come across something strange.
From the main menu, I select Music>Genre>"Genre title">All[Artists]
The Genre title I have is something most of you probably wouldn't understand so don't worry about it.
But, after I select All[Artists]the iPod automatically brings me to a selected album in that genre......this is a problem because I can't use all the songs in the genre, only the ones on the album that the iPod selects.......
PLEASE HELP!!!!
I'd be glad to answer any questions.

Bump....please help someone..

Weird Javascript problem on Safari and other web browsers

Hello,
this is actually pretty weird. For the past several weeks I have been dealing with a very strange problem which I believe relates to JavaScript. To be more specific I have an issue with two websites: Macuser.gr and Facebook.com.
As far as Macuser.gr is concerned this is how it's supposed to look:
http://f.cl.ly/items/0j1J123Y2D0t1C2U3b1f/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .04%20PM.jpg
and this is how Safari renders it:
http://f.cl.ly/items/3N0V3I1c0Q0a1r0K0e1C/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .40%20PM.jpg
The problem is with the preview images as you can see.
Now, in Facebook there's this annoying white line where it isn't supposed to be:
http://f.cl.ly/items/0k0i2c0T0q1h3t2j2s3e/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .52%20PM.jpg
I have tried and tested everything (Guest user, different browsers etc) and all it comes down to is JavaScript. Disabling Javascript seems to fix everything immediately. Enabling it again and this mess occurs. Also, this happens with the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox BUT not with Camino 2.1.2 although it has JavaScript enabled in it.
This is really frustrating and it appeared out of the blue one day. I did not have this problem from day 1. Any ideas?

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

Weird Server Problem - Apple Tech Support guys baffled!

So here is a really weird one!! I go to the finder. I choose 'Network' from the sidebar. I select a columnar view of the servers showing the names of the machines connected to my network. The last item, names 'Servers' should show an alias with a link to my own iMac G5 (which is named DG's iMac G5) - but what it actually says is 'macaboss.central.cu.lu' which I have found out is a server of some kind at the Central University of Luxemburg!!! Aaaaagh! So here is what is even more strange! All of the Macs on my network have the same problem and all have different names - all of which are connected with the Central University of Luxemburg. I have looked everywhere and cannot find any way to change this. I have spoken to Apple and they have no idea what has happened here or what to do. If you can shed any light on this, or can offer a solution, then I will be seriously impressed. Thanks
iMac G5 2 Ghz 1.5Gb Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The numbers on the page I linked to are all, to the best of my knowledge, Apple tech support, not independent support providers, with the possible exception of Hong Kong and perhaps some of the smaller areas; I'm not sure, not having called them all. What country are you in?
BTW, there is no email for Apple tech support. Apple provides tech support via telephone only.
