Why won't my programs start properly when I install 6u12 - 6u14?

Hello all
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm having some frustrating issues w/ programs after I install update 14 (I tried 12 and 13 too).
This is a confusing story, but basically I have this issue where programs seem to start properly (this includes Netbeans and an application that I've developed and try to run w/in Netbeans) but the interface components never totally paint themselves. I see the program as running in the bottom program bar, but I cannot do anything w/ the program. I've been messing w/ settings, but I cannot completely trace/solve the problem. What I DO know is that if I fall back to version 1.6.0_04, all my programs work fine.
Any thoughts? I'm hesitant to deploy a new version of our application w/ the latest Java version at this point.
Thanks for any help
Brent

The only consistent problem posts I have seen involve 14. And there aren't really a lot of those.
You might have some unusual situation. Or the cause might be something completely bizarre.

When it opens it says "no codec found". I used HDV Apple intermediate codec 1080i60. What codec should I use?

Do you mean Final Cut Express or FCP X?
These are two different apps.

Why won't i tunes start in Windows 7 64 bit?

Got it working, had to go to the start menu and do a search for "Apple Software Update" and update Quicktime - had an old version that wasn't getting updated. Itunes works without problem now.

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

Hi Ruth:
Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
several months ago. Is there a setting I can adjust?
Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
without being diverted to voice mail.
Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
Thanks.

Why won't JavaFX programs run?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and firefox. If I go to http://javafx.com/samples/ and try to launch one of the samples I get redirected to a page that says I need a newer version of java.
If I run java -version from the command line I get:
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)
This is the same version as the one the web page wants me to download. Why won't these demos launch?
thanks,
William

Generally, there are some additional steps to configure the sun java plugin for firefox browsers on Unix systems
http://java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml. Scroll down to the firefox section to get a sense of how to do it.
A quick and fast solution (without configuration) to see the demos is to click on the launch button above each demo sample and then open it with javaws (from the bin directory of your java installation). Hope this helps!

Why won't my iMac start up from install disk?

I get a gray screen, apple logo in the center with a spinning gear underneath it. I have started my computer holding the c key, the option key selecting the install disk and startup disk in system preferences. The iMac hangs every time. The hard drive is in need of repair.
thanks in advance

Funny you should mention that, as that happened a few months ago. When it did, I could still start up from the install disk, there was just no destination for the software to be installed. I am currently running the iMac off an external drive via firewire. Disk utility informs me that disk is now in need of repair, even though it seems to be functioning fine, I can't start my machine from the install disk without it hanging up.

Why does Local Folders not show up when I install Thunderbird on certain computers?

I've installed Thunderbird on my computer and it looks normal with "Local Folders" showing up in the left pane. I didn't add an email account, I just installed Thunderbird and an add-on called ImportExport tool and left it with only Local Folders. But when I try to do the same thing and install it on someone else's computer to help them import an .mbox file, when I install Thunderbird on their computer, "Local Folders" is not there. The left pane is just completely blank. And it looks like I can't import an .mbox file without it being there. I tried installing it on another laptop too and the same thing happened with no Local Folders. Why is "Local Folders" not showing up for these other two computers?

I circumvented the problem by copying the c:\users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird folder and the c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder from my working PC to the nonworking computers, and Local Folders appeared in Thunderbird on those computers. It seems like these files aren't being generated properly on installation.
I tried uninstalling Thunderbird from my working PC and reinstalling it again to see what would happen (after also deleting those two appdata folders so that fresh ones would be created), and this time Local Folders did not appear on my PC as well. I don't think I did anything different during installation either. So I'm not sure why the Local Folders are no longer being generated at installation.

HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

Why don't the add ons work when I install them? I can see them in the addon manager, but they don't work when I want to use them. Also very annoying when you have to register for one stinking question!!!

I installed a new dictionary. Something that worked fine when I installed it in the previous versions, works fine on my pc. But I have installed the dictionary 3 times now and it won't "take". I see it in the addon manager, but when I want to switch from us to dutch dictionary, it's just not there to be switched to. It's annoying and I need the dictionary

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.

Why won't my program run when I schedule it.

I am trying to schedule an executable and it says it is successful, but the program never runs. I even tried setting up a simple batch file that will call the program and when I schedule it it says successful but never runs. When I run it on the desktop of the server it runs fine and the batch job runs fine. I have tried configuring it several different ways and adding supporting files. I have never scheduled a program in this application, so I'm sure I'm just missing something. Can someone please tell me how to set this up or give me an example. It is driving me crazy.

Why won't my PC remember History, when that is what I programed it to do?

Everytime I go to "Edit, Prefernces, Privacy", then under HISTORY: Firefox will:
And here is where I select "remember history" and then click "okay" at the bottom of the page....but it doesn't stay that way! When I go back to check in the "Firefox will:" section, "use custom settings for history" is there....and NOT what I told it to do...which was to "remember history".
So, HOW do I get it to remember history like before? This has never happened to me before....so please send me an answer via email so I can get this resolved. Thanks :-) !!!

Firefox shows the "(Never) Remember history" setting if all the history and cookie setting are the default.
Make at least one change to the default setting if you want "Use custom settings for history" to stay selected.
Otherwise Firefox will revert to "(Never) Remember history" if you return to the Privacy tab.
The choice "Use custom settings for history" will stay selected as long as not all settings are the default to make you aware that you made changes.

Why won't Macbook Pro startup properly without external monitor & keyboard?

If I connect a external monitor and keyboard to my late 2011 Macbook Pro (running Lion) it starts up just fine.
But if I try to start it up without these (or any other devices) attached, I get no display on the internal screen and the internal keyboard is ignored (the caps lock light doesn't light up when the key is pressed).
However, I don't think it's a hardware issue, as a PRAM reset seems to work (I get the second chime) indicating that the keyboard is OK. And I get a second or so of grey screen before the screen goes black.
I've tried resetting my SMC and my PRAM. The latter seemed to fix the problem once - but then it came back, and won't go away again this time.
I've also tried starting in safe, single user, and verbose mode, but none of these seem to make any difference.
I've been having some issues installing Windows (under both BootCamp and Parallels) but wouldn't have thought that these were related.

I have solved my own issue, so wanted to post here in case anyone else encounters the same thing.
My Macbook was less than 90 days old, so I booked a telephone support call from Apple. But they couldn't help. So I booked a genius bar appointment. I turned up, powered up my Macbook, and it worked fine!
Since it was working OK, there was nothing for them to investigate (though they ran some basic diagnostics anyway). But as soon as I got home it stopped working again.
Now this was really weird, so I started eliminate anything that was different between the environments - power supply, cooling pad, laptop stand...
My Macbook normally sits on an aluminium cooling pad, which in turns sits on a steel laptop stand. And when sitting on both of these (or just the stand) it exhibited the behaviour above. However, when I put it on a wooden desk it worked fine! So I replaced the aluminium cooler with a gel pad and it still worked fine. But why...?
I also noticed another difference. Once I reconnected an external display and keyboard, I found that my internal display now stayed on - whereas previously it had gone off (with only the external display staying on).
Searching on the internet, I discovered that this was normal behaviour under Lion, and what I had experienced previously was abnormal behaviour when the lid is open - but normal behaviour when the lid is closed. And since Macbooks use magnets to determine whether or not the lid is open, those who preferred the closed lid behaviour were using fridge magnets to fool their Macbooks into behaving that way.
It seems that my stand and/or cooler was acting in the same way as a magnet, and making my Macbook think that the lid was closed. So the internal display stayed off whether or not I had an external display connected. Isolating it from the stand with a gel pad has resolved this issue.
So I guess that Macbooks weren't designed to be used on metal surfaces...
