Why is my 'redaction square' behaving so strangely?

In Acrobat (Tools > Protection > Mark for Redaction), the user redacts text by controlling a square. But my square is behaving very strangely:
1. I create a square by clicking and dragging.
2. Upon releasing the mouse button, the square shrinks to a smaller size.
3. Upon applying the redaction, the square returns to roughly its original size, but shifts up and to the right!
I can provide screenshots if needed. Is anyone here familiar with this bizarre phenomenon? Am I doing something wrong? Why on earth would the redaction square shift up and to the right?
Thanks.

OK, I made a little pdf to illustrate the problem, and here is the album of screenshots. Here's what's going on:
1. I have a pdf open.
2. I zoom in to do some detailed redaction.
3. I click-and-drag to make a 'redaction square' (grey).
4. The redaction-to-be is now indicated by a slightly-smaller square (red).
5. I apply the redaction and get results that are shifted up and to the right (blanked out).
And of course it's step 5 that's absolutely baffling, and so unpredictable as to make detailed redaction a matter of painful guesswork.

Why does the middle mousebutton behave so strange in firefox 4.0?

Since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 from 3.6.** my middle mouse button behaves strange. When I press the middle mousebutton to scroll in a website and it happens that I release the mousebutton with the mouse over a link, the link gets opened in a new tab. The same happens with the links in my bookmarks toolbar. I am aware of the functionality of opening links in new tabs with the middle mousebutton, but in pre 4.0 versions of firefox if you wanted to open a link in a new tab, you had to hover the mouse over a link directly and specifically click it with the middle mousbutton. With 4.0 you can press the middle mousebutton anywhere on the website (even if there is no link), move the mouse around to scroll and then accidently release it over a link to have firefox open it in a new tab. This is very annoying i.e. if you want to scroll through a gallery with many pictures (that have links to bigger versions of themselves) and accidently releasing the middle mousebutton on a gallery image (with link) instead of some empty space. This way many new tabs that are not wanted get opened in the background. Additionally the functionality to just click the middle mousebutton to scroll and then click again to end scrolling is missing. You now have to keep the middle mousebutton pressed to scroll, which is a little annoying too if you want scroll through large websites/documents and have to keep the middle mousebutton pressed all the time.

Who makes your mouse? Is it a Logitech? If so, please see this post: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=206293

Address Book behaves very strange

Hello members and outside viewers,
First thing: My Address Book behaves very strange.
- After startup, the window freezes. Only if I minimize and click again, works OK. I began used to it, BUT
- Since yesterday, Addresses gone, disappeared from every entry.
- Under Preferences » Address Format is uneditable, it has "Item3" in it, unclickable drop down menu.
- Under Preferences »Template » Add Field several options are grey: "Phone", "Email", "Related Names", "Instant Messaging", "Address".
Please can you help me! I deleted both plist files from Preferences folder and deleted the whole folder under Application Support/AddressBook, also reinstalled Address Book from Leopard DVD, but nothing helped so far.
Second thing: when I invoke Spotlight, and start typing after 2-3 seconds, it quits and also Dock unusable, restarts automatically. Spotlight is useless, it behaves every time like this. Spotlight in Finder windows are OK, system-wide menubar has this error. Also, it was suddenly gone wrong like Address Book. Can I think of some virus?
P.S. (off topic), might helpful to share: very frustating, that registering to Discussions took me over an hour.
- With Safari 4.03 the "Name" and "AppleID" are blank fields on "Create New User Account", therefore impossible to proceed. ( Error: invalid AppleID. Please login with a different AppleID )
- With Firefox you can actually see them, but "?" instead of accounted letters.
- After changing My Info, I finally realised that Apple ID should be complete e-mail address.
- That means my "visionfresh" account is totally different from "[email protected]" (or me.com, whatever..)
- Not to mention that I created a new Apple ID, that was also not working.
- Bottom line: my "[email protected]" account is working also in Safari after editing my Name (replace accented characters), but I could not proceed with the nickname "visionfresh", I chose "matyashuszar".

MacBook Pro - Battery behaving very strangely

I have noticed there are already many threads on this, couldn't decide which one to post in so am starting a new one.
I have a MBP 2.33 C2D 17" from late 2006. Last year I experienced the 'expanding battery' problem, my battery totally warped out of shape and was not working properly. After a fair bit of trouble with Apple France (who basically said, too bad, buy a new one), I eventually was able to go above their heads and get Apple to send me a free replacement. This seemed fair seeing as I had bought my MBP within the timeframe of an official battery recall published on the Apple site. The new battery worked absolutely fine, and is now still less than a year old.
Recently though, it has started to behave very strangely. I hadn't made any connection that it could be to do with having upgraded to Snow Leopard, but in retrospect, after reading many of the threads here, it does seem likely that this is the case.. I recently did a big upgrade from Tiger to SL on this very machine, and it has been since then that I've had very erratic battery behaviour.
My symptoms are similar to many I've read here: The remaining battery time (when not connected to AC) will jump from say 3 hours down to 15 mins very suddenly. Then sometimes it will jump back up again. Sometimes my battery health condition will say 'replace now', other times 'replace soon' or other times 'normal'. Also, sometimes the machine will just go to sleep with no warning, even when it had estimated more than an hour of battery time left.. upon reconnection to AC, suddenly it says 0%.
I have always been careful to power cycle the battery properly, to let it run down regularly. Also since noticing this problem, the first thing I tried to do was recalibrate.. But I've tried twice now with no success. I let the machine run right down till it went to sleep, then left it on overnight, waiting for the power LED to stop flashing on the front of the machine.. But it wouldn't stop flashing even after being left off overnight. I have yet to try an SMC reset, will do that next.
I realize my battery is not brand new, nor is my computer. However, this was a replacement battery I received less than a year ago. I'll put the battery stats below, but I'm not sure I believe them because I've been checking what is says a lot recently and sometimes it even shows a full charge capacity of a negative number! Something strange is going on here. I obviously don't expect full performance from a battery nearly a year old, but what it's doing here seems to be more than just a case of a battery getting old, especially having seen that many other users are having a similar set of symptoms after going to Snow Leopard.

Cheers.

I just got off a call with Apple support. The tech agreed that my symptoms were not normal, even for a battery with a cycle count over 300 like mine.. especially with the fact that the system profiler is showing bizarre info that makes no sense such as a full charge of a negative number. He said that basically the only thing I can try is to do an archive and reinstall of Snow Leopard, since it seems that the operating system is possibly corrupted. I don't think it's anything to do with the physics of the battery, it is more likely that the OS is not interacting properly with the battery, thus giving false and conflicting readings and information.. He seemed quite certain that it can't be a problem with Snow Leopard itself, seeing as all of the laptops in the Apple Support office were on SL and did not have this problem. So in his opinion, a corrupted OS was the most likely explanation. In any case, he said that batteries are only covered by a 90 day guarantee, so if it turns out that after a reinstall, my problem doesn't go away, then I'll have no choice but to buy a new battery because they won't cover it... This doesn't seem very fair to me because if it turns out that the OS has nothing to do with it, then it must be a faulty battery, because this kind of behaviour is certainly not what I'd call acceptable for a battery of less than a year old.
Anyway, I'll perhaps try the archive and install process on the weekend and see what happens.

Macbook Pro behaving extremely strangely

Today I took delivery of a new 11 inch Macbook Air. Started migrating over wi-fi from my 2009 Macbook Pro and obviously it was taking forever so I stopped it after a few hours. Now doing a backup restore to the Macbook Air from Time Capsule which seems to be going much quicker. However, my Macbook Pro has now started behaving really strangely. Particularly, it won't recognise clicks on my magic mouse and I have to press hard on the trackpad for it to recognise clicks have tried monekying about with trackpad and magic mouse setting but to no avail.
When it started doing this, if I restarted the computer it would work fine for about a minute and then start doing this. Now it's just doing this. Also it seemed to have logged me out of my home network but now logged back in. It's running Lion by the way and has been a little glitchy since installing that anyway but so far nothing like this. Is it connected to the aborted migration or the currently restoring Macbook Air perhaps? Both computers would be having the same user account signed (that's ok right)? Please can someone help!

Sorry to keep bumping this but keep finding new things. Ok, so if I restart my Macbook Pro everything works fine, mouse clicks are registered no problem UNTIL I touch the trackpad or close the lid and reopen. If I touch the trackpad it reverts to clicks not registering on the mouse and the trackpad continues to behave in this screwy way. Same thing for closing the lid and putting to sleep. Please, does anyone have any thoughts. Going to take it to the geniuses tomorrow anyway but if anyone has any thoughts it'd really be appreciated!

Trackpad began to behave very strangely

After installation Mac OS X v10.7 Lion on my MacBook Air trackpad began to behave very strangely. I just moving the pointer but it's clicking during the movings (closing windows, tapping links etc).
So, how to fix it?

48 hours ago, I installed Lion on my Macbook purchased in the spring of 2009. Everything seemed normal, until I went to type. Regardless if it was in Facebook to reply to a thread, Text Edit, Mac Mail, my cursor would erratically act possessed, cursor appearing in the middle of a blue highlighted portion of what I had just typed. I was cursing my Macbook, wondering what on earth was wrong!
I should state that when I installed Lion, it was from Leopard. I erased Leopard entirely from my hard drive from the Lion disk utility. I did my updates. Called Apple Tech Support today, ended up with a supervisor. Both people I spoke to were terrific. During this phone call, I was advised to reinstall Lion without erasing it from my hard drive. Just to reinstall over the top of what was already on my hard drive. Did this, and to my surprise two software updates arose for Airport Utility and iTunes!! Did those updates. It didn't require a reboot.
I still had erratic-possessed cursor problems. At this point, I went to my iMac desktop, unplugged my new keyboard, and plugged the usb keyboard into my Macbook. This worked beautifully. At this point the lightbulb turned on. With the wired usb keyboard plugged in, I shut down my Macbook. I unplugged the USB keyboard, and rebooted my Macbook. My Macbook keyboard, cursor, trackpad are now cooperating in the manner in which they should be.
I can only suggest to reinstall Lion, without reformatting your hard drive. Check for updates. Reboot. Try my external USB keyboard suggestion. GOOD LUCK!

Why is my MacBook display behaving strangely?

I am using an alumin(i)um MacBook (13", late 2008 model with multi-function glass trackpad). In the past couple of weeks, the display has started to behave strangely. The screen seems to freeze (meaning any mouse movements or keystrokes do not display), and then the screen begins to fade to grey. It seems to be resolved by tilting the display until the MacBook "wakes". There has also been some occasional flickering of the display, although far less frequent. Could someone help me with this? Is it something like a loose connection, and, if so, how should I deal with it? (The MacBook is now out of warranty, so my next step would be my local Apple store). Thanks in advance!

Same thing happening to me - began about four weeks ago, two weeks after warranty expired. Has gotten to the point where it's difficult to use the computer - don't get through composing an e-mail before it starts to fade - now know that even though computer display is frozen, the keystrokes are still getting through, so be careful what keys you press trying to get it to pay attention!
I believe it's going to turn out to be a connection problem between the computer and the display in the hinge area. I found out yesterday that as it freezes, and I start to pick it up off my lap and put it aside, if I pick it up with my left hand near the lower left of the keyboard and my right hand behind the display, down low near then hinge, and pulling slightly towards me, this fixes it (for a while), and this is (for me) the most reliable way to wake it back up. I've seen references elsewhere to this being a simple problem where a connection is maintained with a black foam pad to provide pressure to the connection. I think the foam must degrade or lose resiliency (apparently at 12.5 months from purchase!) and there may be a simple solution available. When I figure it out for this particular model, I'll post my conclusions.

Why is Mac Office:2004/2008 acting strange?

After I upgrade to Lion 10.7.3 over a month or so, I experience problems with some of my documents in Word or Excel. The Excel opens to READ only and I am the only pperson that has the priviledge for it. Also when I go to leave a cell, the curson locks on the cell and grabs everthing in the path I move my mouse. I try to click it loose and nothing happens. After a while I do get back control of the document, but again it begins to behave strangely.
In my Word documents, I would be typing and all of a sudden the curson is some other place on the page inserting my input in the wrong place.
I have spent hours on the phone with the tech support people with Microsoft and Apple, but no one seems to be able to have my errant software work properly. In my furstration I purchased the 2011 version of Mac Office. I stll have the same problems after installing it.
I just realized also that when I did an upgrade of the MS Mac Office:2004 to 2007, I continued to save my documents in the 2008 version, but selected the 2004 format to save them. I understand that 2004 will not even open in the Lion OS X. So I am beginning to think I may have created an anomoly by intergrating the two versions while in the Lion OS X version. Does anyone have any nsight to this?
Also as part of my frustration with this software proble, I am not able to restart or shut down my Mac Mini from the drop down menu. The wheel just spins and spins for minutes and minutes, so I finally do a power shut down. The restart it by pressing the power button again to turn it on. Any clue to fix this problem.
My Mac Mini is a 2009 vintage. I am not an extremely knowledgable computer person. I need help. Thanks!

I have contacted them many many times. For two days I waited on the phone for over 1 1/2 hours. All total I have been on the phone with them over 6 hours and they are not able to find any problems with what I am experiencing. Thus I fell there is something with the Lion OS X that is the main source of this glitch. Thanks for your input.

Is there any way to change the redaction square to an absolute square instead of an angled one?

I use a HP laptop PC. I design bead patterns and some of the numbers need to be changed. When I use the redaction tool, it crops off some of the numbers on the line above because it goes to an angle instead of staying straight. I would love for the redaction box to stay in a square box and not angle off.

Cfqueryparam behaving really strange

Hi!
I have the following scenario.
CFMX 7.0
MS SQL 2005
Col1 and Col3 are nvarchar and Col 2 is an int
Working sql: (returns all rows matching clause)
SELECT * FROM table WHERE col1 = <cfqueryparam
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#var1#"> AND col2 =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#var2#"> AND
col3 = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value="staticvalue">
Also working sql (returns all rows matching clause)
SELECT * FROM table WHERE 1=1 AND col1 = <cfqueryparam
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#var1#"> AND col2 =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#var2#"> AND
col3 = 'staticvalue'
Not working sql (returns only one row)
SELECT * FROM table WHERE col1 = <cfqueryparam
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#var1#"> AND col2 =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#var2#"> AND
col3 = 'staticvalue'
As you can see, using cfqueryparam with the static value
makes query #1 work and adding 1=1 in the where clause makes query
#2 work. But I find it very, very strange that query #3 shouldn't
work - and whats even more strange is that it somehow at least
returns one row...
Has anyone experienced any of this behaviour?
Regards,
Johan

how many rows does this return:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE
col1 = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value="#var1#">
AND col2 = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"
value="#var2#">
AND col3 = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value="staticvalue">

PLEASE can a AE from NI take a look at my problem. Sound input read behave in strange manner then the buffer size is larger than 2X number of samples to read.

On my computer I have discovered some strange behavior then reading data from the sound card. Then the buffer size is 2x samples to read everything is as expected. But since I read the sound card 10 times pr second I feel a .2 second buffer is to small. I am using XP, and XP is not a RTOS so with a buffer set to 0.2 seconds I may lose data. Therefore I set the buffer size (number samples/ch on Sound Input Configure.vi) to be in range of 2 seconds. The result then is that then reading from Sound input.vi, a reading often take more than 0.1 second. On my computer it is often 500mSec. Then the next 5 read follows with almost zero interval. I do not loose data. But on my front panel the graphs looks like an very early silent movie. This error was introduced in Labview 8.x. To be honest I think the labview 7.x sound system was much better in many ways.
But before I point any finger NI. Other people has to verify the behavior I experience. I have made an example showing this error. It is a modified version of the "Continuous Sound Input.vi" example. Then the "buffer in seconds" control is set to 0.2 every thing works OK. Changer this to a larger number will produce the mentioned above hiccup. The larger number in this control the larger hiccup. Is it any way to fix this? My solution up to now has to use a free 3. part software(http://www.zeitnitz.de/Christian/index.php?sel=waveio) But I guess it soon will be outdated. It may not work with newer windows versions.
Any help at all will be appreciated
And yes I have the most updated version fo DirectX. Also I se this in Labview 2009 which I have trail version of. The VI I have made is in 8.6

If you take a moving average of the 0.2s buffer vs. 3s buffer at an update rate of 10, then they are the same (just under 100ms), so the average refresh rate is the same. I agree that is odd behaviour that the time between sound reads go to zero quite a lot then take a long time once in a while (presumably to fill the buffer
I guess it goes to zero because it is reading data from the buffer it do not has to wait for data from the sound card. The mysterious thing is the periodic delay. You are also correct then saying that average timing is correct. And in my application I have no data loss.
If you search for sound in this forum you will find out that many people has reported trouble with the sound system.

I'm affraid I lost my "Word" document of 30 pages. I can see only stars,squares and other strange figures. How can I recover this? Please I need help!!!

I need help! My daughter is busy with her final studyprogram. Her "word" document changed into stars and other strange figures. Is there a possibility to recover this. I hope someone can help her!!!! thanks jvdharst

Are you using the latest version of MS Word? It’s possible you can restore the corrupt file from the last saved version or the automatically saved version. Have you tried that? MS Word uses a folder called Autorecover to store temporary versions of your file. Hopefully there’s a good version in that folder. Use Finder to search for Autorecover if needed.

Why are my album listings behaving oddly!?

I'll try and keep this short, but it probably won't make sense without the detail...
I've just been copying music across from iTunes to my iPod - mainly tracks from compilation CDs that friends have made up for me, and something odd has started happening.
For example, I have a dozen CDs that are all 'Driving Mix'. Before the last major iPod Touch software update, a few months back, if I just copied all the CDs to iTunes and changed the album info on all the tracks to 'Driving Mix' and then copied that across to my iPod, they would all appear as one album - 'Driving Mix'. So I'd end up with one 'album' on my iPod which actually contained the 100 or so tracks from a dozen CD mixes.
However, since the iPod/iTunes update, if I follow the same steps, and then go into 'albums' on my iPod, it now lists 100 albums called Driving Mix. And if I click on any of them, it still shows all the other Driving Mix tracks, but for some reason it is including them all separately in the album listings.
It's not just happening with homemade compilation CDs - there are a few bought albums that I've copied across that are now doing the same thing.
Any ideas why, or what I can do to fix it?

Did you check "group compilations when browsing" under the Advanced preferences within iTunes?

Why is my 'redaction square' behaving so strangely?
