Why are there weird boxes around text in the Apple apps I use in mavericks?

After I updated to Mavericks I noticed these weird grey boxes that appear around the text in some of the Apple-made apps I use lime Pages, Reminders, etc. Also, in a finder window, whenever some of my tabs are open, the tab's colour is different from that of the header of the window. I checked other people macs which has mavericks but none of them had the same problem. Here are a few images of my problems:

So nobody else has seen this problem? Is that the gist I'm getting?

Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV? Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Why is there a java enable function in the settings app if java ia not supported by ipad2?

Why is there a java enable function in the settings app of the ipad2, ios5, when java is not supported by ios5 on the ipad2? The adds say that java neo, I think that is what it is supposed to be called, was supposedly introduced into the ios5 format to deal with this?

If you're looking in the settings for Safari, that's JavaScript, which despite the similarity in names is completely different from Java. Java is not, never has been, and all indications are never will be supported in iOS. I have no idea what "java neo" might be, but I've never seen Java mentioned in any way in any of Apple's iPad ads.

So why are there so many LESS options in the New iMovie??

So I just started doing a new project in iMovie 2008, and let me tell you, I am really ****** off on the time I have so far wasted trying to edit my project here rather in iMovie 6.x or Final Cut Express. I am extremely disappointed at the lack of editing features in this version of iMovie. It is also way less intuitive than previous versions of iMovie. And to top if all off, I cannot even transfer any of my work to another program, so I guess I will have to start over.
PLEASE GO BACK TO PREVIOUS VERSIONS FUNCTIONALITY!
-Continually Disappointed Mac User...

And to top if all off, I cannot even transfer any of my work to another program, so I guess I will have to start over.
iMovie '08 is a totally different application. There is nothing to transfer but a list of instructions which the older versions cannot understand or use. No physical content exists as such until you share/export your project. And so far, no one has come up with a way of "threading" third-party "instructions" into the application detailing how third-party effects might be generated as part of the sharing/exporting process.
PLEASE GO BACK TO PREVIOUS VERSIONS FUNCTIONALITY!
This is a user to user forum. If you wish to make your feelings knot to Apple and "the powers that be" who might be able to make changes, select the "Feedback" option from within the application or go directly the to application feedback area on the Apple site.

Why is there not a saving mechanism in the Notes App?

I had a few paragraphs written and accidentaly selected and pasted over it all. My passage was deleted and there was no undoing or anything that actually saves what you type. Why not? There should be an update in the future adding to the keypad save, redo, and undo buttons. Just a suggestion, unless there is something i'm missing, in which case anyone who can help, let me know.

You've posted this in the iSync forum - the MobileMe forums are here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
(iSync has nothing to do with MobileMe syncing, or the MobileMe icon in System Preferences).
You might also want to clarify what you mean by "Dome" - probably means something to you, but nobody else!

Why is there a thin vertical line on the copy when I use the feeder?

There is a thin vertical line on copies when I use the feeder but not when I copy from the glass. The copier is new. Any ideas?

Hi Ccorning, When a vertical line (top to bottom) is produced only when using the feeder (ADF) of your laser product, the issue would actually be due to a small mark or debris on the scanning glass area that sits directly under the left panel cover of the ADF. This occurs because as the paper feeds through the ADF and across the scanning area, every inch of the paper passes over the small mark which gets picked up by the scanner. This then produces what looks like a line. However, thorough cleaning can resolve the issue. You can clean the platen glass and the underside of the ADF by following the procedure below. 1. Turn OFF the Main Power Switch and disconnect the power cord. 2. Open the ADF. 3. Clean the ADF scanning area on the left side of the platen glass and the same area on the lid (the area that would touch the scanning area when the lid is down) with a cloth dampened with water. You will want to carefully and fully clean the glass in the ADF scanning area. Look for scratches, tiny spots and marks of any sort. If marks are noticed, you may have to clean the platen glass up to three times or more depending on what created the mark (i.e.. correction fluid, pen ink). You can use a soft lint free cloth either dry, with glass cleaner or water to clean the glass and may have to scrub until it squeaks to remove certain types of marks. NOTE: Please spray the cloth with the cleaning solution and not the glass. Another way to ensure the mark is removed is to use a credit card by placing in on a angle and sliding it across the glass in one direction. The plastic of the card will not scratch the glass. You can then lift the credit card when reaching the end of the glass and return to the other side to slide it across again. Then wipe the area with a soft, dry cloth. 4. Close the ADF. 5. Reconnect the power cord and turn ON the Main Power Switch. Caution: Be careful not to get your fingers caught. After cleaning the glass, run 4-5 blank/clean pages through to test it. If the thin black line still appears, please try cleaning the scanning area again as a mark on the glass is the only cause for this. If the issue persists, there may be a scratch in the glass which would require service. If further assistance is needed, please feel free to Contact Us.

FsCacheddata?? Why are there weird images in here?

I was looking through the fsCacheddata folder on my Mac, and saw soo many weird images from, let's say, explicit websites. I have gone on them before, but did not look at half of the stuff that was on there. Why is it stored in the folder? I'm a little freaked out... other people use my computer. Does that mean they're looking at that stuff, or it just got linked to the site and stored on my computer?
Thanks! Sorry I don't know how this stuff works. :/

Does that mean they're looking at that stuff
Yes. If you don't want them to do that, don't let them use your computer.

Why is there a box around my Photoshop image showing in my InDesign file when I print?

I created a brochure in InDesign, in which I have imported two Photoshop images of buses that I had previously clipped in Photoshop. The file looks fine in InDesign and even when I export as a PDF, but when I print the PDF I can see a box surrounding one of my clipped buses. How do I fix this issue?
InDesign File:
PDF File:
Printed:

You will always see it on a laser printer, not on offset. Doesn't matter if you print from InDesign directly or from any exported PDF.
What I do:
I do the transparency as you did in Photoshop
I add a path around everything which has no transparency (Opacity ≠ 0). This path will surround also the smooth transition from the object to the transparent area.
I define this path as clipping path.
I place the image with this clipping path into InDesign. I select the clipping path.
I convert the clipping path into the image frame (right mouse click context menu.)
The image will go smooth to the background but for the laser printer it will cut away the part which will cause the YDB syndrome. So the image will fit for both, laser and offset.

Why are there different specifications and SKUs on the same model window air conditioner?

Hello, The Best Buy website has a Frigidaire Home Comfort 12,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner - White Model: FFRE1233Q1 SKU: 6060171. In the Specifications next to "Energy Star Certified" it says "No" and doesn't show the EER. The picture of the unit shows an Energy Star emblem in the upper, right of the unit.
The website also has a Frigidaire Home Comfort 12,000 BTU Air Conditioner - White Model: FFRE1233Q1 SKU: 8274079. It also states in the Specifications next to "Energy Star Certified": "No" yet shows the EER as 11.3. The picture of the unit also shows an Energy Star emblem in the upper, right of the unit. Both units are in the section "Best Buy/ Appliances/ Heating, Cooling & Air Quality/ Air Conditioners/ Window Air Conditioners/ Product Info".
The Frigidaire website shows a Frigidaire 12,000 BTU Window-Mounted Room Air Conditioner FFRE1233Q1 and states Energy Star Certified": "Yes" and says the EER is 11.3. The picture they show looks to me like the same picture on both pages I've referenced on the Best Buy website and also shows an Energy Star emblem in the upper, right of the unit.
Can you possibly tell me what the difference is between the 2 units on the Best Buy website and the Model FFRE1233Q1 on the Frigidaire website? Thank you.

Hello agreatcompany,
This is certainly bizarre! To my knowledge, it seems that these are the exact same unit, so there wouldn't be any differences. It is possible we were doing some modifications to the information on this unit, and ended up changing the SKU, causing 2 to exist, which may explain why you were able to see both on BestBuy.com at one point. Presently, it would seem the only SKU available on BestBuy.com would be SKU 8274079.
In regards to the specifications, we receive all of the information from the vendor. With that said, I do see that this model appears to be Energy Star Certified according to Frigidaire's site, yet we do not have it listed as such. Please know that I am bringing this issue to the attention of the appropriate teams to have it reviewed, and any errors corrected.
If I should be provided any alternate information in regards to the two SKUs, please know that I will update you right away! If you should have any questions, please let me know.
Regards,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Why are there no Cas2 certified Ram for the KT4V

I've been using XMS3500C2 2 x 256MB (slot 1 and 3)
with absolutely no problems. Is there a problem that I'm not aware using cas2 because there's no cas2 ram certified for this board and I'm curious to know why.

Because it's easier to certify RAM at CL2.5 than CL2.0, and the bigger the list of certified RAM, the better the marketing.
Gee I'm cynical tonight.

Why are there two separate JWS forums?

There's this forum and http://www.javadesktop.org/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=45 - shouldn't they be merged? Why are there two? Which one is the "official" one?

This forum, (the java developers forums) pre-date javadesktop.org, and as can be seen by the total thread count (5000+ threads vs 64 topics) has a lot more activity on the yopic of Java Web Start.
Javadesktop.org was created in 2003, and since it has much overlap with generic java development they also created a thread in their forum for Java Web Start.

Framemaker 9 PDF exports with red boxes around text areas

I have a doc, made in FM 7, using version 9
When I make a PDF i get boxes around some of the text. It wasn't there during FM design.
example
(see red)
Please help

AxialInfo wrote:
you might consider saving the FM file as MIF and then looking at the MIF using the wonderful freebie MIFBrowser, from Graham Wideman, from here:
Wideman Adobe FrameMaker Topics
to find the problem area do a search for the string that is in the title
"Downblast Centrifugal
Exhaust Ventilator
Roof Mounted
Belt Drive"
although just pasting it here it looks like you might have soft carriage returns in it which will make it necessary to just search for the two-word segments.
After you find the phrase, use the left navigation area to walk "up" the MIF file, looking for the specific structure that those words are in (is it a text box, or rather a graphic frame inside a text box, correct?) Is this an anchored frame, or is it just floating? If it's anchored, where is it anchored?
In the MIF, see if you can identify any odd sounding properties of the text box or graphic frame. The MIF reference manual is a PDF found in the FM documentation folder.
Also, one other possibility is that there's something funky with the red swash that goes across the page that's somehow "contaminating" the text frame. What kind of graphic type is the red swash? Could you take a copy of the FM file and remove the swash and then make a PDF, to see if that solves the red outline.
edit: additional questions: are the swash and the text frame on the body page or on the master page? When Arnis suggested checking for graphics behind the text frame, did you also check the master page(s) as well as the body pages?

Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

<< Discussion moved from All Things Community to Apple for better exposure >>
Why are there numbers not showing up on my call and texts log when i look this up online at verizon? There is one number that my daughter texts and calls a lot i found from her phone log but not one time does it show when i look this up on the Verizon wireless call log??? We all have iphones is there an application or something that can block certain calls from showing up? It clearly has texts on her phone from this number why would it not be on the call log?

Thank you for your reply.
However, wouldn't an iMessage show up different than a text? It looks just like every other text on her phone. We all have iphones in this house and they always show up as texts on the call log but this one number seems to be blocked somehow from showing up on the text log. And there are texts from weeks ago and it's from an actual number not computer or any weird/odd code and yet it never comes across on the text log when i look it up.
If you are correct and it's coming across as iMessage is there a way for me to block texts coming across this way so they all show up on the text log?

Why are there weird boxes around text in the Apple apps I use in mavericks?
