X11 and tablet problem

I'm running the Gimp (2.6.8) and using my tablet. I love the pressure support that now exists, but the trackpad seems to go away. To use a tablet, I need to set up gimp's Input preferences. Doing this however, disables the trackpad. Menu commands are accessible, but not one single tool works at all. I would like to use the trackpad for various tasks, but I don't want to have to remove tablet support each time.
I'm wondering if anyone know why this is happening, or how to fix it. My guess is that the X11 environment is interpreting the trackpad as some type of incomplete secondary tablet, and not a mouse.
Any help would be appreciated.

X11 and Matlab problems

I've been trying to install Matlab on my Powerbook, 10.4.11.
1) I insert the Matlab CD, start the installation, and it tells me I need to have X11 to run Matlab.
2) I insert the CD's that came with the Powerbook to install X11. I open the XCode tools folder, open the packages folder, and double-click on the X11SDK.pkg icon. It begins the X11 installation process. Mere seconds into the installation, it quits with an unnamed error.
3) I download X11 from download.com and attempt to install that. It tells me there is already a newer version of X11 on my computer.
4) I insert the Matlab CD and get the same error about not having X11 and needing it to run Matlab, but install anyway.
5) I attempt to open Matlab after installation and nothing happens.
6) I download a newer version of X11 from download.com and I'm still told that a newer version is on my computer.
7) I attempt to use finder and spotlight to find X11 on my computer with no luck.
8) I install XCode (hey, it starts with the same letter as X11 and is in the same folder, maybe it'll help!) because I'm getting desperate.
9) I attempt to install X11 again, getting the same error during the installation.
10) I bang my head on the wall until I realize that the friendly folks at Apple Discussions will probably have some insight.
Thanks much!

So, did your Powerbook come with 10.4 on CD (DVD) or an older version of OS X?
I think you should boot from the OS X 10.4 installer disc and select Custom Install to select the optional X11 installation package from there. I am not sure if it is safe to install these system files when you are running from that booted system. In any case, maybe you need to restart for the new installation of X11 to work.
You only need the X11 SDK and Developer Tools (XCode) to compile and build X11 applications from source code, like some of the GNU apps from the Fink project.
(Not sure if Matlab needs the SDK/XCode Tools or not, unless maybe you are using m-file stand-alone application compiler, or if it uses its own compiler?)

X11 and Firewall problems.

In MacOS 10.5.1, I had been able to run xterm on a remote host and open the window on my Mac, but suddenly it has stopped working and I cannot figure out what the cause is.
1) On my Mac, I have disabled the firewall.
2) On my Mac, in X11 preferences, I have unchecked "Authenticate Connections" and I have checked "Allow connections from network clients."
3) On my Mac, in an Xterm window, I have entered the command "xhost +", which results in the message "access control disabled, clients can connect from any host"
4) On the remote system, I have set my DISPLAY environment variable to my hostname:0.0
5) I then type xterm on the remote host, but the following error is displayed:
Xlib: connection to "172.31.225.11:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 172.31.225.11:0.0
6) On my Mac, I look in the Console log and I see this message:
11/17/07 1:05:00 AM [0x0-0x6c06c].org.x.X11[655] AUDIT: Sat Nov 17 01:05:00 2007: 656 X11: client 3 rejected from IP 172.16.3.82
How can I get my Mac to stop rejecting the connection?

I am having the same problems. I have sniffed the network connections and see that the Mac is returning the message "No protocol specified."
My goal was to get an X client on a Linux system display to the X server on a Macintosh running 10.5.1 but got this message. I am able to start an X client (xclock, for example) on the Macintosh and have it display to the X server on Linux. After sniffing the networks, both sides are sending the same info but the Mac seems to be replying with that "no protocol specified" message. I have even tried a 10.4.11 system. In fact, I can't get the Mac's to display on each other; they can, however, of course, display locally.
Any clues????

I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer.

Yet Network control panel says I am connect to the modem, and Network Diagnosis says I am connected to the Internet. It's like the blind man who has eyes that cannot see. BTW, I am not some newbee. I have been a Machead since the early nineties and set up a half dozen networks, including the one I am using at home to which the iMac mysteriously is there but not. This has me stumped! I am considering going back to 10.7!

Problems with Pen and Tablet

Hello there,
I've recently bought Adobe Photoshop CS3, I previously had CS2. In CS2, when I connected by pen and tablet, Photoshop would automatically detect and ammend all my brushes so they're sensitive to touch, etc.
However, with CS3, this isn't the case. Photoshop doesn't do anything to the brushes, I've tried the shape dynamics but have failed so far.
All the best,
Kristopher (UK).

Problems with phone and tablet version and presentation images

hello,
us to explain the problems encountered with Adobe Muse
pointing out That We Already have published a website designed with Adobe Muse, about two months ago, without finding any kind of problem, for this reason we believe That the problem does not depend on us
1. the site properly sets in three versions (desktop, tablet and phone) and visible only in the desktop version Also from smartphones and tablets.
2. all photos included in the 'presentations' or galleries poprie the program does not display it in local preview it after publication.
note: we use the exported files in html and uploaded in our domain
you can redraw the program to see if the update was performed to Muse DC Correctly or use the old version Which at least gave no problems with image galleries?
thanks greetings

The problem I am having is this: The phone and message portion of my palm stopped working. I called my provider and they told me I needed a new sim card. I got a new one and put it in and still experienced the problem. It was a complete stoppage. I could call one out of 10 tries and a message or two came through but late. I then called Palm and they walked me through a hard reset and the phone started working, ...but only for the evening. Now again it is at the same place. I have hard reset it several times and occasionally it will work once or twice after that. ....

Firefox Sync doesn't sync bookmarks between smartphone and tablet.Works fine between desktop and mobiles.

I have a desktop,smartphone and tablet.They all have the latest FX35.They are all signed in and connected to Sync.Sync is the latest version and it works with email and password, instead of pins.On all devices, Sync is configured to sync all items(bookmarks,tabs etc).
When I enabled Sync on smartphone and tablet, they got my desktop's bookmarks without a problem.They appear in a folder named desktop bookmarks.All the changes reflect properly between smartphone-desktop and tablet-desktop, but, the bookmarks do not sync between smartphone-tablet.
When I open a tab on the smartphone, after a while it appear on tablet's Synced Tabs page.Vice verse is true also.So at least some syncing exists between smartphone-tablet.
Is it possible to create a bookmark on smartphone and have it appear on the tablet and vice verse,just like the synced tabs work ? I tried deleting the sync account and creating a new one, but I still don't see my smartphone's bookmarks on the tablet.
It would be even better if there was an option to choose which device can override another device's bookmarks.I don't really need desktop bookmarks on smartphone, but I'm too scared to delete them.I'm afraid it will also delete them from desktop... ?
Thanks.

HI GeorgePeterson:
So "new" aka "Firefox Accounts based sync" syncs desktop<->tablet and desktop<->phone but not phone<->tablet. Hmmm I actually have tested this S5<->Nexus 5<->desktop (Mac) and it worked.
soooo the big question :-)
# What desktop OS version (e.g. Mac OS X 10.10, 10.8, Windows (Windows 7, 8), Ubutuntu crafty codger ), what tablet and OS version(e.g. Nexus 7 2013, Android 5 Lollipop), what phone (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.2)
I will re-test too!
Cheers!

X11 and X11 applications won't start

I seem to be having a problem getting the X11 application, which I installed from the 'optional installs' package on the OS X installation DVD, working. I originally posted this elsewhere, but was advised to post it here, where people familiar with X11 might be able to help.
I'll just quote what I posted elsewhere below, and hopefully someone can help.
I seem to be having a problem with the X11 utility, which I installed off of the OS X DVD (from the 'optional installs' package), and a problem with The Gimp, both of which i think are probably related.
Well I installed The Gimp a while ago, aswell as the X11 program, and both worked fine (you probably already know that The Gimp needs X11 to run). But at some point, it suddenly stopped working. I think it may have been after an update, but I really can't remember.
The problem I was having with The Gimp is that it would go to start up, but just after the X11 icon appeared in the dock, the cursor would change to an X for a few seconds. The splash screen would come up, but it didn't even appear to have a background or progress bar or anything, and didn't do anything.
At that point, just running X11 on it's own, or OpenOffice.org worked fine.
Well recently, i've tried to run The Gimp again, and something different happens. The X11 icon comes up and starts bouncing in the dock, but after a few seconds, it closes again, and The Gimp tells me that it needs X11 to run (which I already have of course).
When I try to run X11 on it's own, the same thing happens. The icon comes up in the dock, starts bouncing, then goes again.
I've used the Console program in the Utilities folder, and both times, for both problems (when The Gimp had the funny splash screen and wouldn't start, when it wouldn't start up at all, and when X11 wouldn't start), I get the same few lines which might help, these are below:
XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root

Screen 0 added: 1280x1024 @ (0,0)
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
Quitting XDarwin...
So now, I have The Gimp that doesn't work, X11 that doesn't work, and OpenOffice.org doesn't work either (same problem where X11 quits), which is rather annoying, since I could do with using The Gimp.
I hope that explains my problem a bit, and I hope someone can help me sort it out. Thanks in advance for any help

I have a similar problem that I described in a different forum, but was referred to this one and hope that someone can give me clue.
My original message was:
Hello,
Brandnew here and new to the Mac environment (former Windows user), so excuse for anything dumb as it may follow.
Wanting to install GIS software (Grass GIS) it appears to require X11 application. Found the refence in Machelp to the topic on the Apple site. However, it doesn't provide a link to the actual software, just states it is on the Install disc. Indeed, there is a package on the install disk (under Xcode Tools/Packages) called X11SDK.pkg. I thought that this might be the required app, but after installation of the Xcode tools the Grass software still doesn't function (start-up screen only and error message indicating that there is no X11 found).
Thus the question is: how do I properly install the X11 app and where do I find the software?
I hope that someone can help me out (as the AppleCare helpdesk doesn't seem to function today). Many thanks in advance.

2 pages not loading on phone and tablet

Not all pages work on phone and tablet for my website... thegreatlifecookbook.com
The desktop layout correctly loads on the phone and tablet, but the buy now page and the cookbook page are blank.
No problems with the site on the computer.
Have any ideas? Thanks so much....////Julie

It appears you created Tablet and Phone layouts in the Muse Plan mode, but never put any content on the pages, and then published. Thus when you visit your home page on a desktop device you get the desktop layout (which appears correct) but when you visit from a phone or tablet you get the Tablet or Phone layout from the Muse plan view. Those are blank.
You'll want to Page > Remove Alternate Layout for the Tablet and Phone layouts in Muse and re-publish, so your site is no longer re-directing to blank pages when loaded on a Tablet or Phone.
In the future if/when you create a complete Phone or Tablet layout and re-publish, your site visitors will automatically be directed to the layout appropriate to their device (and it won't be blank since you will have created a device specific alternate layout).

'Phone' and 'Tablet' versions of Tumblr blog embedded into Muse

Hi, I have managed to embed a Tumblr blog into my 'Desktop' Muse website which works fine however my problem is when I go to create 'Phone' and 'Tablet' versions the blog is cropped. Does Tumblr have Moblie Site formats to use for these formats or can anyone recommend a way to have the blog as a moble site?
Many thanks =)

I'd like to know it too.
PLease share w/ us if if have a solution
Tks!

I downloaded gimp+x11 and message says can't uninstall -help please

I downloaded gimp with X11 and want to uninstall it but an icon of a hard drive is in my sidebar under my mac hard drive icon with gimp X11 on it and when I tried to drag it to the trash, a message popped up saying "can't = put it in trash because gimp cannot be uninstalled" . Please help me. I have an older version of adobe creative suite but wanted a simpler paint program to merge art and photos. I desperately want to uninstall gimp because it is not even as good as Tuxpaint which my granddaughter uses at school and which I realized has options of photo merging also and seems like a better designed program even if it is for kids. The only problem with Tuxpaint is enlarging its canvas or workspace window and I haven't yet found how to export it's images but my granddaughter loves it and will flip when she realizes she can load photos from her digital camera, I hope. My main problem though is getting rid of gimp. Thank you for your help.

It sounds like you have a disk image mounted. If that's so, unmount it by clicking the eject icon that appears when you mouse over it in the Finder sidebar, then move the image file (something like "Gimp.dmg") to the Trash.

X11 and Gimp won't start

Hello all.
First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't quite sure where to post this, seeing as X11, which i'm having problems with is a utility, I thought this might be the right place to post (it says about 'utilities' in the forum descriptions afterall).
Anyway, I seem to be having a problem with the X11 utility, which I installed off of the OS X DVD (from the 'optional installs' package), and a problem with The Gimp, both of which i think are probably related.

For the problem with /tmp you might see if there is any useful information in this discussion. I've seen a couple of other people with a problem involving /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID. Don't know what the scoop is on that. The directory is supposed to have two files: fonts.dir and fonts.scale. If you have the CID directory and it has the required files I'm afraid I don't know what else would need to be done, although running Repair Permissions from Disk Utility is something you might try. It doesn't hurt, might help, and shouldn't take too long. You might also try posting your problem in the UNIX discussions. You're more likely to attract the attention of people familiar with X11 problems and solutions in that forum.

Brush pressure and lag problem with CS4

I've been having a huge problem with Photoshop CS4 and the brushes. Whenever I go to brush, the pressure will turn off and on randomly with each stroke, and it lags horribly. I've installed CS4 on two computers with Windows 7, and both have this problem, but my old computer which had Vista was perfectly fine. I've tried downloading new versions of CS4, turning the OpenGL on and off, updating the GPU, downloading the Windows 7 tablet driver (that made it worst), and a bunch of other things. Nothing has worked, and this problem has been going on for two months. I'm starting to think the only way to fix this problem is by switching back to Vista. Can anyone please help me solve this? Thank you.
My computer is an HP that runs on Windows 7, my Tablet is a Wacom Intuos3, and I have Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.2

Others have reported that completely removing the tablet driver(s) first, then installing the very latest from the Wacom web site have made things work.
Good luck.

All of a sudden I am unable to receive e-mail through comcast on my PC. I am able to send e-mail. I can receive comcast e-mail on my phone and tablet

All of a sudden I am unable to receive e-mail through comcast on my PC. I am able to send e-mail. I can receive comcast e-mail on my phone and tablet. One help topic suggested I delete the password for my comcast mail and that I would be prompted to set up a new password. No such prompt appeared. I am wondering about help for this problem. I'm also wondering if I can delete the account nd add it again and what would be the ramifications of doing so.

check the settings in your mail settings, outgoing server. If your ipad is ok, compare the settings with the ones on the phone
