Why would OSX suddenly startup and then zoom in without any keystroke?

Hi all,
all of a sudden following happens when I boot my mac mini. The desktop shows up normally and then after 1 second it zooms in to something like 90% (just so that the top bar vanishes). I can zoom out then and all is fine but I cannot get the mac to change this startup behaviour.
Any help how to change things back to 'normal' would be very much appreciated. Thanks Thomas

Hello Thomas,
Three suggestions: First of all, as soon as you've zoomed out to the correct "unzoomed" appearance of the screen, log out immediately. Then try logging in again. That should fix it if there is a problem with a remembered preference.
If that doesn't resolve the situation, try opening the Universal Access control pane in System Preferences. Click on the Seeing tab, then on the Options… button in the Zoom pane. Make sure the "Minimum zoom" slider is all the way to the left (set to 1).
If that doesn't fix it, then go to ~/Library/Preferences (in your Home folder) and trash the com.apple.universalaccess.plist file. Then log out and back in again.
Keep us posted,
Archie

HT3275 Why would Backup suddenly stop and give me sparse bundle already in use error message?

The error message I keep getting is: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Brenda Glim’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. Help!

Because you are running ML and that is one of its bugs.
Even Lion can do it.
Wireless makes it worse.
Reboot the TC.. or reboot the network and it should go away.

Send XML from ERP TO PI and then to vendor without any additional xml tags

Hi All,
We have an xml document in ERP which we want to sign and send it to an external provider using the SOAP Adapter.
We have signed the xml by using java mapping.
Then the integration server is to take this String and resend it as is to the external provider using the SOAP adapter.
This however doesn't work because the message sent to the external provider is already an xml document like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns0:request_DT xmlns:ns0="um:ournamespace">
<payment>
here is a hexadesimal for singed xml.
</payment>
</ns0:request_DT>
i tryed to use java class to remove extra tags from operation mapping but once i tested it i got the following error message
"Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document..."
Also i used XSL in the operatin mapping to replace unwanted tags. but i got same error.
Nw , how can i remove the additional tags ?
Thanks & BR,

Hi,
>>Moreover you maintain that I should use XSL/Java Mapping .I have XSL for removing extra tags and java mapping as well.
Check these blog

for seeing how to use XSLT with the communication channel
In the mean time let me try to find the blog for java mapping usage with communication channel

My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help. If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod. If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
If you need help with any of these suggestions, detailed help on each topic is available via Apple's Support pages:

Hi, im having problems with my iphone it would always be showing up "No Service" even when I get my simcard out, when i turn airplane mode it would switch to " Searching" and then go back to "No Service", i have tried restoring several times, but nothing

Hi, im having problems with my iphone it would always be showing up "No Service" even when I get my simcard out, when i turn airplane mode it would switch to " Searching" and then go back to "No Service", i have tried restoring several times, but nothing has changed. I must say that my iphone was working perfectly until the last months my battery began to die all from a sudden, so my phone got turn off really frequently, so then i ordered a battery and changed it myself so when phone was on.. it had this problem.. im desperate here

No I haven´t take it to Apple Store, i think I will actually. My iphone was jailbroken and ulocked with gevey sim, but when this failures began i decided to restore it, and I did preserve the baseband, but when I took it into one of these "Places" they told me it would be a good idea to do a clean restore and see if this fixed the problem so I upgraded my baseband, and right now my iphone is freshly restore, no jailbreak no nothing.
Btw yes something like a year ago my screen was replaces by others not by apple, but I didnt had any issues after this.. until today (a little more than a year later).

Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library.

Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library. I can restore the artwork (and make my apple tv see the movie exists as well) by going into the movie library and clicking on each movie by hand, slecting get info, and then selecting enter. Now doing this 10 times in 20 days was fun and all BUT I would really like to automate the process so everytime itunes screws it up I can fix it easier.
I saw this example of an itunes script that restores artwork for music
tell application "iTunes" set theSelection to selection repeat with i from 1 to count of theSelection tell (item i of theSelection) set artworkCount to count of artwork repeat artworkCount times set theArtwork to data of artwork 1 delete artwork 1 set data of artwork artworkCount to theArtwork end repeat end tell end repeat end tell
but I need to tweak this to fit my needs for simply clicking the "get info" button and "enter" in the movie library rather than all the stuff this guy has listed. Any ideas or help on writing this? Thanks.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

10.7.5 suddenly slows and then freezes

My computer has just started to suddenly slow way down and then it freezes completely. When I reboot it seems fine, for perhaps 10 minutes or half an hour, but then it starts to lock up again. Any idea what the problem is? Here is my EtreCheck report:

Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions.   The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

Is it possible to save an iPhone back up and access the files later if needed? I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone. Is this possible?

I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone, but gain access to them later if I need them. I prefer to have the string with the date/time stamp vs copying and pasting into a doc or text file. Is this possible?

Not unless you buy an app that accesses data from an iTunes backup. Check in the app store.

My Ipod seems to be stuck in a manified or zoom mode. If I turn it off it goes to normal print size for aout 2 seconds and then zooms in too large to use. Help?

My ipod seems to be stuck in a magnified or zoom mode. If i turn it off, it goes back to normal size for about 3 seconds and then zooms in so large that it is unuseable. Someone help! Please.

Did you follow the instructions in the link I provided in my first reply?
Also try triple clicking the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn Zoom off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there.

On my iPad (Retina Display) in Google why would a site come up that I have not any knowledge of? Not one that I have EVER looked for?

As far as I could see - only once. All morning I have had trouble with connecting to my WiFi. I blame AppleSupport who were trying to help me with a totally different problem and they asked me to "Reset" my iPad - and I lost my Wifi connection and had a huge amount of trouble getting back on. Now every time I boot up the iPad and try to get on-line it asks for my Password for WiF! Not happy.

Why would OSX suddenly startup and then zoom in without any keystroke?
