• Some JPEG files seem to download very well, but are rendered incompletely.

  Some JPEG files seem to be well uploaded by Firefox, but they do not completely. A progressive JPEG will remain very rough and no progressive JPEG will be missing the lower part. Of all the things I tried, I think maybe it's a bug of rendering in Firefox. More precisely:

  • The images are downloaded properly. The page loading stalls not but join immediately. If I click with the right button on the image and click "View image", he appears completely. If I open the media dialogue information Page tab and look at the picture, it appears quite as well. More curiously, if I use the eyedropper color tool and hover where the rest of the image * should * be, it displays the actual image pixels in the raster and also returns the value of the color of the image in pixels, while the main browser window always makes these regions as being transparent. I added a snapshot of the species to this post. Therefore, the problem also doesn't seem to be a problem of CSS/layout of the page (the Page Inspector shows the img block correctly).
  • Clears all data cache and cookies, then by restarting Firefox in safe mode does not make a difference. I even installed a vanilla Firefox to a new virtual machine and had the same problem when opening these pages. Other browsers (tested: Opera, Chrome, IE) do not show the same problem.
  • Reload with forced renewal cache (Ctrl + Shift + R) most often does not change the rendering of the image, but will rarely showing either more or less incomplete than before.
  • I can see the issue going on with two images on two separate pages. I re-encoded them using different software and different settings, but the problem persists, then it doesn't seem to be a problem of corrupted images.
  • I created an example of a toy to try to reproduce the problem: a same page with a different image, created specifically to try to trigger the problem. What I've found, is that the issue is triggered when the JPEG file above a certain minimum size (somewhere between 15 and 40 KB). What seems to be the rendering of the image in the main window stops after the reading of the image up to a certain length. Once again, the image seems well to be loaded into the cache and memory completely as evidenced by the display when you use the view image, or information Page.

  I made three versions of the test page to try to reproduce the problem. Image of the first page is 11KO and always seems to go completely. Images of the second and third page are respectively 102 kB and 107 KB in size and will be usually incompletely. The image on page 2 use the progressive encoding, so the image will end up blurred. The image on page 3 use straight coding, so the image will eventually be rendered with the bottom part missing.

  So far, I'm not sure why only, I encountered this problem on a specific Web site pages. Something must be the trigger, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with the server, the page or images.

  Update: I introduced the site at Browsershots, asking for Firefox 35.0 renderings and a previous version for each of the Windows, Linux and Mac. Unfortunately, the renditions for Mac failed. As for the others, none of the versions pre-35, 0 present the display problem, and it is not present in Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 35.0, but appears on Firefox on Windows 2008 R2 35.0.
  Here is the URL of the test pages where you want to check yourself: (darkened circles be transparent)

  http://www.abgase.org/firefox_debug.html (11kB, no problem)
  http://www.abgase.org/firefox_debug2.html (Progressive 102KO)
  http://www.abgase.org/firefox_debug3.html (no progressive 107KO)

  (Do Ctrl + Shift + R repeatedly if the question does not seem to show, to be sure. If by any chance I can get it to render properly, it will fail again after that 2-3 charging at the most.

  I did have a lot of time lately to make studying more. However, since the upgrade to Firefox 36 a few days ago, I can reproduce is no longer the question. This was confirmed during the audit on all my other Windows systems running Firefox: image rendering is usually interrupted when loading pages on Firefox 35.x, but still fine finishes after upgrade to Firefox 36.x.

  This problem can be considered resolved, that the bug seems to have been given to v35 only.

  I couldn't find anything relevant in the changelog of 36 of Firefox, but also found two Bugzilla reports that could have described the same problem, both claim that the problem goes away when you use v34 and/or v36:

  #1125789: image full size is only partially displayed
  #1126707: Firefox 35, MAC and PC image rendering problems

• Time Machine must create a new backup

  I received the following message: Time Machine has conducted an audit of your backups on "Personal Cloud."  To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.  Does this mean that to maintain backups, my previous backups will be gone?   I'm basically ignoring tech.  Thank you!

• Two MacBooks, 10.11.4, a fast Time Machine backup and a very slow

  In our office at home, connected to a Gigabit ethernet on the same switch network, we have two MacBooks.  One is a 2011 MBP with a 1 TB SSD (third party), and is an MBA in 2015 with a 512 GB SSD (Apple).  A Linux server on the same network running Netatalk 3 providing the backup network drives, one for each laptop. The two TImeMachine network drives are on the same physical server drive.  Two laptops running 10.11.4 and darn are configured almost identically.  Neither laptop has no trouble finding the network backup drives, and they begin to run backups without problem.

  The old MBP was a workaholic and functioning flawlessly for years, including the fast and regular Time Machine backups. File unique restorations are done with some regularity, and they always worked (I don't think that once done, we use a complete restore of the system from scratch, and it worked).

  The new MBA, in contrast, had endless questions from and complementing the backups.  Last night, for example, I decided to simply reformat the drive on the server where there is a material error affecting the MBA (I ran Linux fsck to check the file system before you wipe it off and he's found no errors) and resumed full backups on two laptops.  The MBP has about 600 GB for the first backup, and complete the backup in about 5 hours.

  MBA, with about 350 Go back up, was still underway this morning and had less than half the backup is finished. In the console log, he showed he was backing about 5 GB/hour.  Not only that, but the incremental backups took a lot of hours (more than overnight), making it impossible to never complete because it must be packed and taken to work at some point in the morning.  I.e. backups are all simple broken on this MBA.

  The MBA connects to the network with a third USB3 (Anker) hub that has a Gigabit Ethernet port on this subject.  I downloaded iperf for Mac and Linux server and found that this is right about 900 Mbps throughput, so I expect an optimal bandwidth is achieved in this regard.

  Any ideas what might be happening here?  Diagnosis between the two to see what could be such a radical difference? Tried to change taps the network wiring/switch problems, without change. Reset, no change.

  We have two other Macs also running backups in this way, under 10.11.4,, and they were also without problem. Also is it just that an MBA, the most recent of the bunch, problems.

• Central Seagate NAS - "Invisible" Time Machine backup

  Running OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), have a central Seagate NAS connected to the same network.

  Struggling to locate/mount the Time Machine "partition" of the NAS using the Finder, even if the NAS works more or less perfect otherwise. For example, I have no problem to mount the NAS in the Finder and have accessibility without restrictions and read/write permissions to files on the NAS and visible files. I have also run the Time Machine backups with no problems, however, I can't physically locate the backup Time Machine (sparsebundle file) when you use the Finder. During the mounting of the SIN in the Finder (= "user1" user / password = *), I have 3 folders available and visible (with subfolders), "user 1", "Public" and "user 2". Unable to locate the backup in the any of these files.

  Then, when I run the terminal and run ' ssh ' user1@ipadressofNAS, then ´cd /', then 'data ls', I find several items, including the "Public" folder I mentioned, I do not see in the Finder above, and also a component called "user1.tm". Later in the user1.tm, runs "ls Data / user1.tm ', I find"mymac.sparsebundle"- that is.

  Then of course, the dedicated part time Machine is the NAS Server (I just pointed out Time Machine backup to the NAS Seagate available without being able to specify the directory), but I can not located this part physically using Finder. Just for reference, I also tried to find backups to the display of hidden files and directories using the Finder.

  Is it possible to physically see the backup Time Machine 'partition' in the Finder? I think that this was possible according to the default in some earlier versions of the operating system, but then the time Machine 'disc' disappeared as well as the evolution of the OS.

• Recovery disk Tecra M2 installs but happens with incomplete installation

  Tecra M2 worked fine, it's a good little machine without running out of space.
  I tried to install a new drive HARD 160 GB (Seagate) was 60 GB (Hitachi).
  I used the recovery on the new HARD drive disk, it formats the drive sets up XP Professional, gets that me recorded by Microsoft OK, but when the laptop wants to run Windows it bombards gives me a blue screen ('dumping' memory etc.).
  When the laptop reboots, in "Safe Mode" message pops up that the 'Installation was incomplete. Re-install Setup.
  First question: -.
  Is it possible to 'fix' the installation with the recovery disk?
  Another disk of Windows XP CD - seems unable to repair the installation.

  Then
  Second question: -.
  I tried to do a complete reinstallation from scratch, with the Windows CD - no problem. But then I need to install the drivers - got the support of Toshiba OK and I see the recovery disc has a whole bunch of the 'fix' but the June 10, 2006 forum thread "necessary driver after installation of Windows on TecraM2, gives the order of installation: no problem except that I cannot locate"Microsoft Windows XP Professional Step by Step Interactive"anywhere - I looked everywhere for it?

  Hi Ollienz,

  I'm a little confused about your Mr. ad you want to install Windows from Toshiba Recovery disk or normal drive of Microsoft? What do you do now?

  Theoretically, the recovery disk might be scratched so that installation can t be completed so successfully in your case, I would like to try a Microsoft Windows XP disk.

  I did a Google search for this Microsoft Windows XP Professional Step by Step Interactive and I found it s an update of safety for interactive training but it doesn t seem to be important for the driver installation:

• Time Machine breaks down during the work week, working all weekend after preferences rebuilt

  End of 2013 the MacBook Pro 13 "Retina display, 16 gig RAM, OS x 10.10.5, gigabit networks are home and work, NAS at home only.

  MacBook is used as working on simple business network machine all week. Time Machine off and save a couple hundred K and then crashes when I connect to home network at night. Same thing happens when I return to the home network for the weekend. I have disable TM, kill the TM preferences, restart to create new ones, back up on my home network NAS all weekend without problem. I turned off TM before going to work on Monday and back at home Friday night, and it fails. If the routine is now restore preferences TM Friday night, let the backup of its contents all weekend, turn off TM and go to work all week.

  I would like to have the security of offline backup that comes with the TM run all the time.

  It was suggested elsewhere to rebuild the Spotlight database. It did not work. I use locate on the command line and have rebuilt the database too.

  Any suggestions?

• Time Machine restores very, very, very slow!

  Hello! After a will using Time Machine for backup of my stuff, I m now in the need to restore the library. Yes, all my memories are gone, due to the said Photo library can´t be use more. So I decided to do the restore, but after 4 days, I only got 200 GB to 240GB total. I m using an account 3 to hard drive, which is connected to my 1 Gbit switch. I m using an iMac (27 inch, end 2012) 3.2 GHz i5 with 8 GB of RAM DDR3 1 TB hard drive, which is also connected to the same switch. According to my lack of knowledge the iMac ethernet card is also 1 GB. So, once again, according to my knowledge, I should have + 120 MB/s transfer rate, but the glance that I had was 25 MB/s.

  Another interesting fact, is in the same room, I have an old PC running Windows 10 and transfer files from the same device of account to this PC, I can get 90 MB/s transfer rate.

  So, I m wondering if there are some networks relate to configuration that I need to do in order to make the most of the account with the iMac using time machine. Of course I have doc all research with the support account but, since the 'question' it seems to be linked to Time Machine, they push me in that direction!

  Thanks in advance for any advice!

  Diego!

• HP Z3200 incomplete printhead replacement - restart

  Hello

  Recently, I replaced all the inks on this machine which had served market for the past 4 years.  The inks have all expired and were out of warranty, so they were replaced by new inks.  Yet, I couldn't run GMG ColorProof calibration so I replaced now all print heads.  Managed to get 5 of 6 print heads, out of stock on the chromatic red until the end of the year and always get the message "Incomplete print head replacement" that lists all the printheads as needing to be replaced.  I never had this message with the old print heads, but now, when I pass the old ones back in I get this message.  I tried to replace the printheads several times.  The message always, that the print heads need to be replaced.   I hope that the problem will be solved when the last print head is installed, but that will have to wait until the new year.  Any suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks.

  That was it, the sensor window was loose.  This made it impossible to complete the installation of the print head.  Now, running through the installation program, lcd says 22 minutes.  Working finally discovered why didn't fit the last print head, was the Red print head 70, was supposed to be 73! Heck! Using the old expired for the moment thank you all for your help.

• Time Machine can't see NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan

  We have two MacBook Pro and 4 car TB WD MyBook attached to our wireless router. This disk is partitioned and used for Time Machine backups. We did not have problems with this configuration, up to yesterday, that we decided to format the disk and repartition it. We did it with my MacBook Pro which is running El Capitan (10.11.3) and the newer disk utility program. I plugged the drive locally on the laptop and he came back and said that through fine form/partitioning layout. However, I moved to the router as a NAS and went to setup Time Machine... Time Machine could not see the player. I could map the drive and write to her through 'connect to server... ". "without any problem. Even tried the thing to "map the drive on the desktop" to make it appear on the list of drives available in Time Machine. Nothing worked! I thought something may had been bad installation, or gone bad, partitioning and started... always the same results. The third time, I decided to use MacBook Pro my wife who still works Yosemite with the old "Disk Utility" program on this subject. I went through and formatted/partitioned it the same as before. However, when I hooked up like the SIN this time and the mapped drive he appeared right on Time Machine just as it should have the first time.

  Is there a problem with Time Machine, find readers NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan? Is there a setting that needs to be changed in the new "Disk Utility" program to make it work? I'm a bit of a loss here...

  The router cannot possibly recognize a drive formatted by OS X. It uses an operating system that is totally foreign.

• Network drive cannot be selected in Time Machine, but works in the Finder

  Hello

  I have a NetGear wndr4500v2 router in which I now have my 1 TB HD plugged (HFS formatted). I've always used this drive for backups TM via the USB in my MBP, but decided it would be good to have all it wireless. Unfortunately I was not able to select the player in Time Machine.

• Equium A60: Installtion was incomplete and applicant to re-run the installation program

  Hi all

  I tried to recover an Equium A60. It seems to copy from the DVD with no problems - no error message in playback. It then asks me to remove the media and do a restart. Windows XP begins to install and then I get a message indicating that installation was incomplete and asking to rerun the Setup program. Any idea what the problem might be?

  I also tried to install Windows XP, (not Toshiba), the other machine without any problems. The only problem is that there are some missing hardware drivers. Specifically, the Multimedia Audio Controller, PCI Modem, SM Bus controller, (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller and video controller.

  Concerning

  I used the A60 DVD recovery once before and never experienced these in fact after that error messages the recovery procedure was complete, there should be no setup message. I guess you deleted the DVD before restarting normal XP?
  Regarding the missing drivers install you from the CD provided tools although the recovery DVDs would be a more preferable way to install XP (you avoid complications such as software licensing and activation)

• Time Machine hooked up / slow down

  I use a clean install of the OS X 10.11.2 leave a USB boot. Not an upgrade from an earlier version. I had used a NAS for the TM backup without incident so far. Since the machine is new, I started a complete backup of the TM. I noticed it seems to be suspended after about 430 GB. I deleted the sparsebundle to the NAS and started a new backup yesterday afternoon. My iMac is set to the computer keeping up when the screen is off. More internal SSD of the iMac, I have a USB 3.0 external hard drive connected with the added data, which I suppose is included in the TM backup. Preferences/Time Machine is showing "Backing up 431.55 1.51 to Go" and «Calculating time remaining...» "The entries of two console log I could find related to this are:

  22/12/15 7:54:29.003'M com.apple.backupd - helper [968]: doesn't start is not at the request of backup Time Machine: running Backup

  22/12/15 mds 8:01:33.851 AM [59]: (Volume.Normal:2464) volume: 0x7f8f50968000 * initiated creation of occluding a default location: 1 SpotLoc: (null) SpotVerLoc: (null): 0 Volumes/Time Machine John-1

  Interestingly, I was not able to find a log entry on the beginning of the TM backup.

  Little Snitch provides very low flow to the SIN of 256 MB in the last hour. It was much higher when he started the backup yesterday. The network is 1 Gbps.

  I noticed saving energy/system preferences had ' put to sleep when possible, hard drives "checked. "Enable the NAP" is also checked.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of Netatalk incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)
