When resuming from standby or undocking and opening the laptop display, Firefox 4.0b10 will never repaint the application window.

Just installed and added AdBlock Plus & Nuke Anything.
This is the portable version of the beta from PortableApps.com test section.
100% repeatable so far.

Unless the schedule it's running on is every single time I open Firefox (including closing it & reopening it right away), I don't think that's the case. Also, I don't have any of these issues on the PC I switched back to v3.6 on. That one runs smoothly whether I run Ccleaner, registry optimizers, clear the cache & history or whatever. I thought after you first gave me the answer of deleting the session files that they must've got corrupted during the upgrade, but it seems that v4 just doesn't do a good job of retaining or maintaining those files without getting them corrupt or something.
If this is not an issue with everyone & I'm having it on both my PCs, then v4 has an issue with something that I install on my PCs that, I guess, many others don't although I don't know what that could be and I use everything I install or have running. So, I'm just going back to what works without having to dismantle my config one prog at a time to try to find what v4 may be finicky about.
By the way, I did check & couldn't find any cleaners that run automatically on my PCs.

  • When resuming from standby mouse-click/keyboard doesn't work.

    When resuming from standby about 80% of the time the mouse on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) stops working. I think it is a software issue. It appears that the mouse will do a click or click and drag but will not let go when removing my fingers. The issue only happens within 5seconds of waking up. The issue is only fixed with a hard reboot. I can bring up the shutdown menu, but am unable to slect shut down as the mouse/keyboard won't give input. This issue was present in Lion and was gone for the first few months of Mavericks but appeared again this week.
    I can freely move around the mouse cursor and enter expose with three fingers but cannot select anything.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can use viewToModel() method to get caret position for x, y location. No need to click.

  • Help!!! the app Iphoto is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

    I was editing my photos and adding them to a album and suddenly the app is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

    Option 1
    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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • White screen when resuming from standby

    Hey,
    For about a week when I resume from standby by opening the lid I get a white screen.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro 2,7 GHz, Intel Core i7 with 4 GB ram bought in September this year (2011). Fully updated as of today.
    Basically, I close the lid of the laptop before I go to sleep and when I open it the next day the screen goes white. So far I have remedied this by pushing the power button which forces the Shut Off options to appear and the white screen is gone.
    Is this something I should be concerned about? I've read about the "White Screen of Death."
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    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.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • 3000 N100 lost network connection when resuming from standby

    My Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop seems to lose it's network connection when it resumes from standby.  I have to restart the machine in order to reconnect to the ethernet network.  Running WindowsXP Pro.  Any advice or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Sorry for presumption that it was wireless connection issues, it might work since the solution involves tweaking or changing power management settings.
    However, if does not work you can still look for the solution in that website by entering the problem in the search dialogue box and clicking "search site"
    Let us know how it went.

  • X201 display rotates after undock and opening the lid

    Hi,
    I'm supporting some guys here in my company. One of them is using a X201 with Win XP and Presentation Manager.
    When he undocks the notebook and opens the lid afterwards the screen is turned upside down after a few seconds without hitting a key or anything. He says that this doesn't happen every time,  but almost.
    I can bring the correct view back with Strg+Alt+ Arrow Up.
    Is there a way to avoid this behavior?
    Thanks
    Mith
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hey Mithrandir,
    try removing Presentation Manager and check if there is any new driver for that unit's graphic card. Install if there is and try again.

  • When I start my MAC Pro (OSX10.6.7), It always opens the Application window. How do I prevent that from happening? I just want to see the desktop

    Everytime I start my MAC, the Applications window opens. How do I prevent that from happening. I just want to see the Desktop with the normal Hardrives and folders I setup on the Desktop.

    Start up. Close the offending finder window. Shut down.
    Now start up again.
    Is it fixed?

  • When resuming from standby in OSX, firefox has no gesture support for scrolling, tapping to click or three finger flick back and forth in Snow Leopard

    This occurs in 10.6.8 Snow Leopard when resuming usage after the computer was in standby (closing the lid).
    I never experienced this with firefox 6. The problem arose with 7 and continues with 8.

    I'd like to chime in and add that there is currently no acceptable Font Management solution for OSX.
    Sorry, but it's true.
    Me, and every professional designer / ad agency / design firm I know struggles with this every day. In fact, most of them have resorted to the 'ol "temporarily drag said fonts into ~users/library/fonts, and then out again when you're done".
    That's no way to work.
    I've tried them all. And I know people who've tried them all. Font Book, Suitcase2, Font Explorer X, FontAgentPro, etc, etc. And they ALL have major problems. Especially when you have more than a few hundred fonts. Which most designers easily do.
    We need a robust, stable, AUTO-ACTIVATING solution ala ATM in os9... I'm not a programmer, but I gotta ask: why is this so hard?
    I've used Font Dr to check and re-check ALL my fonts. Most of which are bought-and-paid-for professional versions. I keep a bare minimum of fonts activated at startup. I've read all the "How Fonts Work in OSX" articles, and I know what the heck I'm doing! But my font life on Panther, Tiger, Leopard and now Snow Leopard has been a living ****.
    YES the Helvetica disaster is a huge problem. But I think the issue is much, much larger.
    I spend literally HOURS of billable time each week dealing with this nightmare. When it comes time to design something, and find "the perfect font" for a headline, or a logo –which is something that used to fill me with glee– I'm consumed by dread. Having to yet again wade through this depressing morass of stupidity.
    Sorry for the rant. But this issue is literally EVERYWHERE on forums and message boards, but NOWHERE in MacWorld, ArsTechnica, CNET, etc, etc. AKA the kinds of pubs that could actually hold Apple's and the other companies feet to the fire on this issue.
    Something MUST be done.
    Darnit!

  • Multitouch fails intermittently when resuming from Standby on Win 7 x64

    I've got Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and Boot Camp 3.2 on a late-2010 Macbook Air 13". Intermittently (about one out of ten times, and more likely if the system has been in standby for an extended period), the multitouch driver will fail to run on resume. When this happens, the [Trackpad] tab is missing from the Boot Camp Control Panel, there is one fewer HID-compliant mouse in the Device Manager, and all multitouch features fail on the trackpad (only basic pointing and mechanical clicks work).
    The only method I've found to restore multitouch functionality is to reboot the operating system. I've tried the technique described here: http://brandonlive.com/2007/02/04/macbook-and-vista-fixing-the-trackpad-on-resum e/ but with no luck.
    Apple tech support says it's a bug with the Microsoft OS and that I should contact Microsoft Tech Support for resolution, which is basically just a cop-out. Even if it is a bug with the OS, it should be the responsibility of the hardware/driver vendor to identify and report that bug back to the OS vendor.
    Does anyone know what I can do to keep the multitouch driver working on resume?
    Message was edited by: jaraco

    It seems since BootCamp 3.3, this problem was resolved. It has happened very rarely since the update and when it does occur, I can restore the mouse driver by entering standby and resuming again.

  • X61 Trouble when resuming from standby

    I own a X61-7673-7EU+docking station for nearly a year now and I've downgraded to Lenovo supplied XP Pro soon after purchasing.
    The problem I have is that once in a while, approximately every 10 or so standby resumptions, the screen will not turn on and no Fn hitting, F8 pressing or any other combination makes the screen work. The only way to solve this is by resetting which is very annoying. I should note the lights indicate the computer is back on when this happens. I also noticed this happens when the computer is used without the docking station.
    I constantly look for updates and install anything that looks even remotely relevant but to no avail.
    I would highly appreciate some guidance on how to solve.
    Thanks.
    PS. - if possible, I would also appreciate knowing why sometimes the laptop goes into standby but when I undock or touch the mouse it resumes.

  • Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit,... Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches

    I have restarted lightroom and still get the same result, I have also fully uninstalled  lightroom and then re-installed  3 times  without success

    You do not want to delete your catalog file Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat with extension .lrcat. This will cause you to lose all of your image editing information.
    Locate and rename the Previews Cache folder named Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata by adding a .old to the extension (Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata.OLD). Restore the original catalog file from the Recycle or Trash bin if possible. See procedure here:

  • Log-In Screen Does Not Appear When Resuming From Standby/Sleep

    We are running T400s with XP SP3. From time to time when the computer comes out of standby the login screen will not appear. You just get the background image and your mouse. The mouse will move across the screen. However there is no screen saying press Ctrl+Alt+Del or swipe a finger to login. Also swiping a finger, or pressing ctr+alt+del, typing in your password and hitting Enter does not work either. It seems to be a random but frequent occurence. The couple of T400s with Vista installed do not have this problem. Any ideas?

    After doing some troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the FingerPrint reader software.  Sure enough after uninstalling it fixed the issue but then the finger print reader is useless.  I looked at the latest Version, 3.2.0.116, readme file and it states:
    <3.2.0.116>
     - (Fix) Fingerprint Reader is not working ater 1 minute idle.
     - (Fix) Fingerprint Reader is not working after standby/resume.
    I am wondering if they are still working out the bugs, nothice the "l" missing from later. Any help would be a big plus as I need to roll out about 200 or so for my employer in the next month.
