Why do some documents appear blurry and unreadable?

i opened the text on my power engineering website (which suggested firefox as the best browser) and the text all appear blurry and i cannot read it.

Are you zoomed in?
Hit Ctrl + 0 (zero) to reset the zoom
Hit Ctrl + + to zoom in
Hit Ctrl + - to zoom out
Does that help?

After upgrading to OS 10.10 some fonts appear blurry. Specifically top menu bar, desktop icons, mail

After upgrading to OS 10.10, some fonts appear blurry. Specifically top menu bar, desktop icons, mail and Safari. This only occurs after the computer has been running for awhile, not immediately after startup. I'm running an iMac, 20 inch, Mid-2007 with the following graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB.
It's not a huge problem, just darn annoying. Thoughts anyone?

Hi,
Please note that this upgrade related problem would very likely be what has been covered by the support document at the link below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
If you also find any files named to include MessageSorting (which would mean you once have upgraded from a version of OSX earlier than 10.4, which is clearly the case for you), remove those, also, but never restore those.
Often this is all that needs to be done, but you might then need to force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
Keep me posted.

Firefox screen blurry and unreadable (as if way out of focus); don't know how to correct. Browser is unusable. Disappointed in Mozilla cust svc.

As stated, Firefox screen is blurry and unreadable (as if way out of focus). One day, it worked; the next, it did not. Not sure if there was an upgrade as I did not request or accept one. All I know is Firefox is unusable and I've had to switch to another browser just to get online. You cannot do anything in Firefox because everything is illegible.

Try launching Firefox while holding the '''Shift''' key to open the Firefox SafeMode, and see how it is.

Why do some pages look blurry?

I have noticed that some websites look blurry and also when I am trying to read an assignment in word it looks almost pixelated. What can I do to make it look clearer?

Do they still look blurry on the "best" setting for Retina?
The problem I see is, there are many applications around that were created a decade ago, and the developers have moved on. These are still valuable applications for many people. Are they just always going to look crappy on the Retina MacBook? That sounds pretty undesirable.
The difference with the iPhone is, the Retina was an upgrade, but didn't make existing applications look worse.

HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI. I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud. I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown.
I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

.FLV files ..why do some play in HTML and others don't?

hi,
I am using dreamweaver 8 to embed 'FLV videos into html
webpages.
the problem is that when I embed and test some flv files, the
player shows up on the page and the videos play fine,
but when I try with a couple of other flv files, these files
do not work - a blank screen shows up (though when I right-click on
the screen where the video player is supposed to be, the flash
drop-down menu appears).
I know that the Size of the files is not why these files are
not working, and I have the latest version of flash player
installed. Also, I'm sure I have not made a mistake in the code,
and I suspect that it is something to do with difference/s in the
files themselves... ?
If you need any further info, please let me know.
this is quite frustrating - so please help.
thank you.

wutronic,
Maybe the following bits from the following Adobe page may be relevant:
Considerations
You can use the Live Corners feature multiple times on a corner, and modify either the radius or the corner style. However, if an associated anchor point in the corner is dragged or manipulated in such a way that the roundness is lost, then the widget will no longer appear for that corner.
Maximum Angle Limit
Users have the option to hide the Live Corners widget
for corner angles greater than a specified value. You can specify this value in the Preferences
> Selection & Anchor Display
> Hide Corner Widget
for angles greater than field.

Why does my PDF appear blurry after taking a snapshot?

I need some assistance. I'm working with a client who is trying to do email blasts. They create a flyer in Publisher (probably switching to Acrobat exclusively soon), and then import it into Acrobat or Reader and take a snapshot of it. They then paste it into Outlook and it looks great before they actually send the email. Once the email is sent, it's blurry and pixelated.
Here's what we have to work with on their computers:
Outlook 2010
Acrobat X Standard
Publisher 2010
Any advice would be greaty appreciated!

There's some weird stuff going on here.
- 'Switching to Acrobat exclusively soon' - what does this mean, Acrobat isn't a replacement for Publisher or any kind of design tool?
- 'Imported to Acrobat' - how - Acrobat doesn't actually have a function called Import?
- 'Pasted into Outlook' - how, Acrobat can't Copy a PDF to the clipboard?
It may be that they are doing things that are not at all right, or it may just be the way they are described...
In any case, Acrobat and PDF _cannot_ be used to make stuff for seeing visibly in an email...

Larger Document Appears Black and Displays Incorrectly

Hello,
I have just purchased Web Premium CS4. Photoshop CS4 Extended was included with the package and I installed and ran it. Sadly any large document I tried to open appears black and sometimes when I zoom in partly displays with random black lines through it. I have checked my system's specs and they all match up with the requirements. I am running Vista SP1 on a Dell computer. I have read all the knowledge base articles relating to this matter and have done everything they said (including disabling OpenGL, etc.) but still the problem continues. Is there any way or patch/addon to fix this?
Thank You So Much,
Bailey

Do they open up in other images manipulation software packages? Try CS3 if you have it.
What size, format (psb, tiff, etc) are they?
I've only experienced what you say with corrupt files...I hope that's not the case here.

Why do my photos appear blurry unless i'm online?

SO all of my photos appear blurry or low quality and they all have a small circle in the right hand corner as if it has to download them from somewhere. the only way they show the proper resolution is when i'm connected to the internet after a few seconds of loading. This is bothersome as i already have them all backed up using dropbox (not icloud i don't use icloud so i don't even know where it could possibly be downloading from) and i would like to be able to view my actual photos in their entirety. Any help is welcome. Thank you!

This went wrong here:
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
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.

HT5661 why are some texts in blue and some in green

Why are some texts on the I 4s phone in blue and some in green

Hi cstack,
Blue messages are iMessages (i.e., messages sent via Wifi to other Apple devices)
Green messages are SMS messages (i.e., messages sent via your Cellphone to non-Apple devices, or when Wifi isn't available for Apple devices)
P.S. Apple devices using iMessage only.
Cheers,

Indesign cs4: why are some documents extremely slow?

i am working on a iMac (2.8ghz core i5, 8gb memory).
Some documents are incredibly slow on my iMac - on others in the same office the documents are working fine.
Even if I set the preview of images to 'low' after every action - selecting a tool, selecting a box, anything, however small, it takes at least 10-15 seconds before I can do a new action.
I suspect it has something to do with EPS settings, but I can't find anything that seems likely to be reason for the slowness.
HOpe somebody can help me!

Why have some tracks appeared in duplicate?

Some tracks in iTunes Match appear on my iPad and iPhone in duplicate. For example, the iTunes library on my Mac has Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree on it. This appears in playlists so it is on both my mobile devices as well. However, since subscribing to Match the downloaded tracks AND duplicate undownloaded tracks appear on my mobile devices...why is this and can I do anything about it?

If you have view automation turned on and click the disclosure triangle in the track header you can see extra automation tracks. This is to allow you to view different types of automation for a single track without having them all bunched on top of each other.
At a guess, they appear empty because you don't have any other automation on the track apart from volume. You can get rid of them by clicking on the disclosure triangle to hide them then check out the automation section of the manual, it should make more sense to you after this.

Why do some computers join OD and have a dollar sign ($) appended to the name?

This question has been asked before here a few times with nobody being able to really definitively answer it (see: 2027636, 5979187, and 11144245). It has been a couple of years and versions of OS X server and I am running into this same issue. I am working on building an image to deploy Mavericks to our office computers and have been working on a script to set the hostname and join it to OD. As a result I've been joining and unjoining this computer to our local OD server in an attempt to get the script working. In the course of my troubleshooting, I've noticed that a number of computers in our domain have a $ appended to the name. In fact, when I join my computer "office-test" it shows up in both workgroup manager and directory utility as 'workgroup-test$'. If I remove the dollar sign from the end of the name in workgroup manager, the light next to the network server name goes from green to red on the client (in System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Options). The reason this has been an issue for me is that the script attempts to populate some attributes and make the computer join groups on the server (so it can get the proper MCX settings), but since my script is using 'office-test' as the computer name and not 'office-test$', it is failing. We do have other computers with the $ appended (mostly windows machines). We also have hosts that don't have the $. Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent/correct/change it?
This is what I'm trying to do:
#set variables
odserver=SERVER
odbindacct=ACCOUNT
odbindpass=PASS
computername=office-test
computerGroup=officegroup
#set hostname
scutil --set ComputerName ${computername}
scutil --set LocalHostName ${computername}
scutil --set HostName ${computername}.DOMAIN.TLD
#join OD
dsconfigldap -v -N -f -a ${odserver} -n ${odserver} -c ${computername} -u ${odbindacct -p ${odbindpass} -e
#update attributes
dscl -u ${odbindacct} -P ${odbindpass} /LDAPv3/${odserver} -merge /Computers/${computername} RealName ${computername}
#get GUID
GUID="$(/usr/bin/dscl -u ${odaccount} -p ${odpass} /LDAPv3/${odserver} -read /Computers/${computername} GeneratedUID | awk '{ print $2 }')"
# Add to computergroup/list
dscl -u "${odbindacct}" -P "${odbindpass}" /LDAPv3/${odserver} -merge /ComputerGroups/${computerGroup} GroupMembership ${computername}
dscl -u "${odbindacct}" -P "${odbindpass}" /LDAPv3/${odserver} -merge /ComputerGroups/${computerGroup} GroupMembers "${GUID}"
dscl -u "${odbindacct}" -P "${odbindpass}" /LDAPv3/${odserver} -merge /ComputerGroups/${computerGroup} Member ${computerid}
dscl -u "${odbindacct}" -P "${odbindpass}" /LDAPv3/${odserver} -merge /ComputerLists/${computerGroup} Computers ${computername}
In Directory Utility, I do see the following attributes/values set
AppleMetaRecordName (cn=office-test$,cn=computers,dc=[HOST],dc=[DOMAIN],dc=[TLD])
AuthenticationAuthority array ((;ApplePasswordServer;[HEX DATA]) (;Kerberosv5;;office-test$@[HOST].[DOMAIN].[TLD];[HOST].[DOMAIN].[TLD];))
RealName: (office-test$)
RecordName (office-test$)
ENetAddress ([MAC ADDRESS])
GeneratedUID ([UID])
HardwareUUID ([UUID])

I have observed the same issue on some 10.8.5 servers with 10.8.5 clients
This behavior happens when authenticated bind have been enabled on server.
Once authenticated, binded computers receive a ComputerName change during boot which append the dollar sign as appears in workgroup manager on server
System logs on clients computers shows
UserEventAgent receiving the $ name from _workstation._tcp.local (Workgroup Manager https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/qa/qa1312/_index.html)
and mDNSResponder updating/enforcing Computer Name accordingly.
Moreover, a binded computer will typically have « System Preferences ->> Sharing ->> Computer Name » option geyed out
The workaround i found:
1) moved macosxodpolicy back from « authenticated bind required » to « enabled » and remove the $ sign from the end of each Computer name in workgroup manager.
This allows to keep reliables computers names for mcx administration on workgroup manager but
on the other hand, as you pointed out, this will also block network users on client computers.
so on clients computers:
2) Unbinded to clean the authentication entry and performed a simple bind —> without authenticated binding ( -f option) and admin/privileged network user (-l -u options)
