Why is there a "?" at the top of all my OS X 10.5.8 finder windows?

I was attempting to move files and graphic applications to a larger Extra Hard Drive from my G5 computer Hard Drive which was overloaded. Why am I seeing a "?" at the top of all my OS X 10.5.8 Finder Windows and what should I do about it?

    why is there space under the copyright bar on the contact page? all the other pages in the site fit flush at the bottom except on the contact and coaching page. does anyone know why? thanks

    What I'm saying is that the footer will always follow the content above it.  On short pages, footer may not align with bottom of browser viewport because the page content above isn't long enough to fill the screen.  Since everyone uses different display sizes, this is perfectly normal behavior and shouldn't be a major concern.

  • I upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues.  Neither Pages or Numbers will open.  I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone.

    I upgraded my "new ipad" (the 3rd generation I think) to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues. 
    1- Neither Pages or Numbers will open.  I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone. The icon that allows me to create a new document also does not appear.  I went to icloud.com to see whether my documents still existed, which brings me to the 2nd problem.
    2- It appears that all of my Pages documents are still on icloud, but all of my Numbers documents are gone.  There were only about 10, but I access 2 of them nearly every day, so this is a big issue for me.
    I went into Settings and all of the icloud information is correct and it "Documents & Data" is on.  When I look at the storage, I see the Pages documents but not the Numbers ones.  The next thing I did was turn my ipad off and back on, but this didn't fix anything.  Since my Pages documents are still on icloud, I then tried to delete the Pages app from the ipad so that I could reinstall it, which resulted in the 3rd problem.
    3- I cannot delete any apps.  I can get all of the icons to shake and the small x IS available, but everything freezes when I click it.  I can't do anything at that point except reset the ipad or wait until it eventually restarts itself.  I've tried this with Pages as well as multiple other apps, all with the same result.  I've also tried downloading a new app (which worked fine) and then deleting that one, but I got the same result.
    3a- A small related issue to this that I am far less concerned about is that when the ipad restarts itself, it comes back on and the screen is really dark and I can barely make out what appears on the screen.  If I enter my password right away, it stays that way until I go into Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper and touch the brightness setting (although I'm not actually changing the setting because it already shows that the brightness is turned up a little over halfway).  If I don't enter my password right away and let it go completely dark, then click the home button, the brightness is fine.
    So now I'm stuck.  My guess is that I will need to restore it, but wanted to check before I take that step.  Unfortunately, my laptop is on its deathbed so I haven't been synching my ipad to it and I fear my Numbers documents are gone forever.  I'd like to try everything I can to fix these issues before doing the restore in hopes that I can get the Numbers documents back.
    Any suggestions for any or all of these problems?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • How to put a JFrame on the top of all other applications

    when some message is received, I want to put an existing JFrame on the top of all other applications. So that the user knows that some message has arrived.
    I tried toFront(), but it blinks the JFrame on the taskbar never comes on the top of other application.
    Any ideas.
    Rajesh

    On Windows 98 the toFront() method works, but maybe not exactly how you expected.
    There seems to be a delay of about 20 seconds.
    If your frame has not been active within the last twenty seconds then the frame is displayed when the toFront() is used.
    If the frame has been active within the last 20 seconds then the icon will flash.
    I believe this behaviour is to prevent frames from poping up all the time. Here is a simple program that shows this behaviour:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.Date;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class FrameToFront
        public static void main(String[] args)
            final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
            frame.setSize(200, 200);
            frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
            frame.setVisible(true);
            int delay = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
            final Timer timer = new Timer(delay, new ActionListener()
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    System.out.println(new Date());
                    frame.toFront();
            timer.start();
    }After you start the program click on the dos window to hide the frame. Try the following two cases:
    java FrameToFront 5000
    java FrameToFront 20000

  • Why is the top of all print when reading online not appearing correctly

    hi, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
    <sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
    one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

  • Why are there changes in the histogram with a convert to profile?

    When you convert an image to a different profile the color numbers change, in order for the colors to represented the same (as closely as possible given the gamut differences) in the new color space.  The histogram also changes, quite noticeably.  Why?  Is it representing the raw numbers and not their interpretation in the new space?  And if so -- why is that?  Is it of some use?
    Thanks!

    I understand that for an export operation, but still puzzled why the histograms are almost identical in LR for images that had been brought into PS from the same RAW file and converted to different spaces (with slight differences undoubtedly due to the different gamuts).   In that case, LR must be "honoring" the different color spaces, with the same appearance and histograms...  But when I soft-proof the same RAW file I get very different histograms -- the sRGB more stretched out than the ProPhoto one.  Those soft-proof histograms are "the same" (realizing they are all quick calculations) as when I do the corresponding convert to profile in PS.
    Maybe I'm not getting my head around "the histogram of the proof target."  That would be the more "dramatic" (changed) histogram I'm seeing in LR's soft proof and PS's convert to profile.  But is there a reason to show it that way?  Doesn't a histogram need to be interpreted in a color space to be meaningful?
    If I go ahead with something like a Save for Web or Export from LR in that target color space, I'll then see the histogram return to more or less what it was before (given that rendering intent has done its thing).
    Is it that the more dramatic histogram is simply representing the image in the wrong color space??  I can see that as a pragmatic decision.

  • Why can't I access the top portions of a website I'm visiting when using firefox?

    I'll use facebook for an example, but bear in mind that this problem is when ever I go on any website.
    When I signed on facebook, my mouse turns into an arrow and it won't allow me to select anything on the top/upper portion of the website. I have to press the tab key, to go to 'home' for example. I can't even click on my message icon in facebook.
    How can this be resolved. Thanks alot, I love firefox, and I hate having to exit and use Internet Explorer.
    P.S. I tried using a different PC and that didn't work.
