Win7: Skype update will not display some favorite ...

These non-displaying contacts are stored on my computer. I can find them if I search SKYPE. But they will not display with my contacts.
I wish Microsoft would not "improve" Skype! I have spent hours going around in circles trying to pose this question. I hope somebody in the community has the answer to this problem.

Thanks for your thoughts. Here's what I've learned. The browsers display correctly for the new user after SafeBoot. I removed all startup items, to no avail. Removed all fonts from the new user account, nothing. Removed all fonts from the admin user's library, nothing. Then I removed all fonts from the HD library, and that fixed it for the new user. Now I just have to figure out which one it was.
So in summary, a bad font in the HD library was affecting Safari and Chrome (but not Firefox) in new user accounts, but not in the admin user's account. Nice. D

Preview.app will not display some PDF files

Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

Safari and Chrome will not display some pages right for new user account

Not sure this is a Safari issue actually. Behavior is also in Chrome, but not Firefox. If I need to post elsewhere please advise.
24"imac running 10.5.8. 2gb ram, software update run,
Setup a new user account. Machine will have 2 users.
When I login as the new user, in both Safari and Chrome, some pages - google, ebay, amazon, cnn, yahoo, do not display correctly. Mainly empty space, a few graphics all wrong. They do display correctly in Firefox.
I assumed it was the user. So I added a 3rd user. Same behavior. Tried giving the new user admin rights. Same problem.
For the admin account, everything's fine on those pages, both in Safari and Chrome.
It feels like the new user is not getting access to something it needs, but it also feels like more than a font problem. Thanks for any suggestions. Dan

Safari will not display some media content despite Flip4mac loaded

As the subject indicates, Safari will no longer display some media content after installing Flip4mac. Where that media content would normally display all I see is a square with the Quicktime logo in the middle and a question mark in the middle. For example see the Dakar Rally site http://www.raid-live.com/dakar/en/index.shtml#. In my case Safari does not display the Flash content relating to "Premium Offers".
Mozilla displays everything fine though I don't particularly want to move between browsers depending on the on-line content. I'd rather not use Mozilla as in some cases the page appearances aren't as neat as those displayed by Safari.
Is there a way of restoring Safari back to its default settings in order get it to play ball.
Cheers
Chris

Also a possible explanation is Safari cache files. Safari can be quite stubborn about holding on to these and refusing to let go of a cache file for a page, not showing up-dated content. Since the new user account didn't have any cache files Safari displayed the file correctly there, and used a "bad" cache file in your original account. Even clicking reload doesn't necessarily force Safari to take a new look at the page code. Drives me batty sometimes. If that is the problem you can go to the Safari menu item, choose Empty Cache and try again. I'v had instances though where I had to empty the caches and quit and relaunch Safari to get it to display a page properly.
Another thing to do, to make sure something is a Safari specific problem rather than a system problem, is to download Firefox and try it with a funky page. If the page works in Firefox, but not Safari, you know it is Safari being funny and not your system.
My truck was running rough the other day when I moved it to wash it. Was not looking forward to using it to haul stuff the next day, but when I started it then it worked just fine....

ARD 3.2 Update will not map some keys

Hi All,
Have just updated from 3.1 to 3.2 Apple Remote Desktop Admin and found that the remote computer will not map three keys anymore.
These are '~', ')' and '+' insead, it maps the character on the key without the use of the SHIFT key, i.e. '`', '0' and '='.
I'm using the "Australian" keyboard layout and have tested on two separate machines now, a PowerBook G4 and an eMac G4. Tried a clean install from CD of ARD 3.0 and upgraded to 3.2 - same issue. Tested all keys on keyboard in TextEdit with and without the SHIFT key and only find these three keys do not map.
Anyone else experiencing this since te update?
Cheers,
PJR

Hi All,
Have just had a go at reinstalling (rolling back to) 3.1 ARD.
It think it's all working ok now - only thing I've lost are my computer lists which shouldn't be too difficult to re-populate.
These are the steps I followed:
1. Stop ARD
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -agent -stop
2. Backup ARD files
mkdir /ARD_backup
sudo cp -rv /var/db/RemoteManagement /ARD_backup/
mkdir /ARD_backup/libPref
sudo mv /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist /ARD_backup/libPref/
mkdir /ARD_backup/usrPref
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist /ARD_backup/usrPref/
mkdir /ARD_backup/AppSupport
sudo mv /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/Remote\ Desktop /ARD_backup/AppSupport/
mkdir /ARD_backup/usrAppSupport
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Remote\ Desktop /ARD_backup/usrAppSupport/
3. Delete existing files
sudo rm -rf /var/db/RemoteManagement
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ARDPref.prefPane
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/StartupItems/RemoteDesktopAgent/
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent.plist
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/RemoteDesktopAdmin310.pkg
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/RemoteDesktopAdmin320.pkg
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/RemoteDesktopClient.pkg
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/RemoteDesktopPrefs.pkg
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/RemoteDesktopRMDB.pkg
4. Install ARD 3.0
<Run RemoteDesktop.mpkg on ARD 3 Install CD>
5. Update to ARD 3.1
<Run RemoteDesktopAdmin310.pkg to update to 3.1>
6. Input Serial Number
Launch the application
Input XARD-030-000--***-***-***-***-***-***- serial number
Quit Remote Desktop application
7. Restore db files
sudo cp -rv /ARD_backup/RemoteManagement/ClientCaches /var/db/RemoteManagement/
sudo cp -v /ARD_backup/usrPref/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist ~/Library/Preferences/
cp -rv /ARD_backup/usrAppSupport/Remote\ Desktop/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/Remote\ Desktop/
8. Logon and test
You should then have your list of computers in "All Computers" and just need to bulk select the machines you require, set a password and then add to a new container.
Reference marterial:
kickstart:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108030
ARD uninstall:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108021
No doubt someone else will have a better way of doing this but it's worked for me. Some machines have even remembered their passwords so I don't need to re-enter the whole lot!

Preview 8.0 will not display some pdfs.

I review documents that are available as PDF files from my local government. Preview 8.0 (Yosemite 10.10) can not display pdf documents created by the Registry of Deeds (Land Titles) since approximately 2005. As well the Finder previews and icons show all blank pages. The PDF files contain the correct number of pages, they are just totally blank.
I installed Acrobat Reader (version 11.0.09) so I can continue to work, it displays all the documents correctly, but this is the first time in years that I have needed Reader on my Mac. The troublesome files appear as Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4) and Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.7), The documents I need to review might be TIFF or JPEG files that are made available as a PDF, I am waiting for their support department to tell me what format is used for the documents on the server.
Does Preview 8.0 only display something newer that Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4)?

Wunderboy,
Have you heard back from Apple yet? Has it been escalated to Engineering?
I have only recently noticed this problem when trying to look at some bank statements which were downloaded. There is a background that is is fine but like you the other data shows in the Thumbnails and briefly in the preview when the Thumbnail is clicked.
Interestingly if I:
a)     Export as a .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
b)     Export... but then choose .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
c)     Export... but then choose .jpg all is ok.
b)     If I File / Print but save as a .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
c)     Finally if I File / Print to a printer all is ok
So a workaround is to Export .jpg and then Export that (.jpg) file back to .pdf. Sounds like a an Automator script would help!
Regards,
Simon

Adobe Reader Will Not Display Large PDFs

When using the Adobe Reader app on PlayBook it will not display some PDFs. It seems that it will not display PDFs that are too large.
Some files that might be too large do not display while smaller files do display in the app. The too large range could be in the 12 MB region where the good range could be 6 MB or less.
I tried to submit feedback to BlackBerry on this issue but it returned my email saying it could not process my request. I am hoping that they read it here.
Here is a link to a page with both readable and unreadable files:
http://www.bossus.com/backstage/product_manuals/?group=2
A readable PDF is the owner's manual for the RV-3. A unreadable PDF is the owner's manual for the RC-3.

That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect. You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

Updated to the latest revision. Firefox will not display my chosen home page without clicking on home icon.

Since latest update...Firefox will not allow a new page to be opened from a link in a current page. It will allow a new tab to be opened (with tabbed browsing checked) but i prefer a new page. Even in tabbed browsing links to things like a pdf will not work at all.
Firefox WILL NOT close. X-ing out will close the window but I can not get back to Firefox without closing it in task manager.
Firefox will not display my chosen home page without clicking on home icon.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Grrrrr.....makes me miss my stupid PC set up as I could force it to do what I want!
Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
Any tips/tricks/ideas???
dave

Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
ie TC name.. TCgen4
Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

Firefox will not display on the screen even though with Process Explorer I see Firefox.exe active but no CPU usage

I use Firefox v10.0.2 as default browser on Dell XPS8300 e/w Intel Core i5 & Windows 7 Ultimate and Compaq Presario CQ57 e/w Intel Core i3 & Windows 7 Home. More frequently on the (about 90% of attempts) than the Dell (50% of attempts) Firefox will not display to the screen when I click on icon. When it happens I cannot display other programs. I specifically say display because I believe Firefox has started. To circumvent the problem I installed Process Explorer on both machines and start this program first then click on Firefox icon. When problem occurs I can see Firefox.exe process in Process list; some CPU consumed but, then, no CPU activity. If I click on Firefox icon again another process opens in Process list but with same response - some CPU consumed and then no CPU activity. If I have 2 processes running and kill the 1st process, the 2nd will display and everything from then on is normal. If I do not open a 2nd process but kill the 1st process then click on Firefox icon Firefox is displayed and everything from then on is normal. This problem has occurred since original installation on both new machines. I've updated video drivers in both machines.

Ok, let's see if we can fix this and get it working for you!
First, if you start Firefox in [[safe mode|safe mode]] (restart your computer first, then when you open Firefox, hold down the shift key) does it start up more reliably? This is usually caused by a faulty add-on. If it does help, then restart Firefox, go into the Firefox button, then add-ons, and disable your extensions one by one until you find the trouble maker.
Also, try updating to Firefox 11, it has several bug fixes that might make life easier here.
Just as a few basic troubleshooting steps to make sure we have all the bases covered,
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. you can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

Emoticons Will not display with new version

Downloaded the new version, and now the (finger) and (wtf) emoticons will not display. Every single other one does display. Why is this happening? I have tried restarting my computer, and redownloading Skype itself. Is there any way to fix this? I know I have the emoticons display on because every one BUT those ones work.

These hidden emoticons indeed got removed with 6.14 because of them or their shortcodes having the potential to offend some users.

In FireFox 4.0, PDF files will not display

After updating to 4.0, PDF files will not display in the browser window as before. All I get is blank screen. Everything works fine in IE9. I have updated all the plug-ins, including Adobe Acrobat. Also have enable Display PDF in browser in Acrobat Reader.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Clock will not display, Eject button not working

Odd problems. Users clock will not display, check the box and it will not stay, clock never appears. Now the eject button will not function properly.
Logged in as a different user, same problems. Must be a system thing...
Ran Disk utilities both while in the OS and from the install CD. It did find some problems but says it repaired them all. No change.
Ran TechTool Pro, it said it found some problems and fixed them. No change.
Trashed all preferences and .plists, reboot. Everything reset to defaults no change to clock or eject button.
System is G4 Mirror Door Dual 1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM, on system 10.3.9 all updates applied.
The odd thing is everything else seems to be working properly... None of the Apps complain or display anything wrong...
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Ryan,
I see that you list X Serv and Tiger 10.4.2 for your computer profile. I presume that you are talking about a different computer in the text of your post since you specify system 10.3.9.
Problems of that nature can often be rectified by removing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist from the ~Library/Preferences Folder, or by reapplying the most recent Combo update.

Third party apps will not display pictures upon OS upgrade

Hi
I recently upgraded my 8520 to OS 5 and I've noticed that my Time Mobile App and Viigo will not display pictures in the articles or news feeds anymore. I've tried the apps support but no luck.
Is there a possible solution for this?

I don't know about Time Mobile, but I noticed that Viigo started having some issues with displaying photos correctly a while back after an OS update as well. One suggestion you can try is to simply do a battery pull - while the phone is on, remove the battery for 15-30 seconds and reinsert. After the phone has rebooted, see if you have any better luck.
Now then, Viigo is still intermittent for me - some feeds load pictures no problem, while others have a lot of issues (or simply don't load pictures period). My guess is that there is something that changed slightly in the OS update that is influencing how pictures are downloaded from the internet and to these apps. Unfortunately there is little that can be done though unless the developer(s) update their apps as well.
If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.
