I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

Can't open downloads. Message on middle of screens says: The application 'preview' can' be opened.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

This problem only started when I upgraded to FF 4.0. I am running Windows 7. When I go to the task manager I am able to see the error message in the processes area, if I highlight it and tell the task manager to stop it, FF immediately starts and runs normally. I have no idea where the error message is coming from.

Zulu,
Quit (by any means necessary) Numbers.
Move the Numbers preference file from here:
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
replace <your user name> with your user name.
to go to the folder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder..." and enter the path:
"/Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/" then locate and move the file:
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
To the Desktop:

The appliCATION PREVIEW CAN'T BE OPENED -10810
When I try to "preview" a file, I am getting an error message that says "The Application 'Preview' can't be opened -10810
How can I fix this?Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
Thanks
CarolThe first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

Error message "the application APPLICATION_NAME can't be opened. -10810"
All of a sudden I started getting the error message "the application APPLICATION_NAME can't be opened. -10810" whenever I attempt to open an application. Sometimes all of the applications will work, but then all of a sudden one or two applications will turn unresponsive and I will get the above message whenever I attempt to open any application. Does anyone know what this error might be, and how I might go about fixing it?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
After shutting down and rebooting, I find I have no folders on display on the desktop and when I click on the Finder icon, a message comes up that says "the application Finder cannot be opened" followed by the number 10810. HELP!
You could do it by cloning. I have read OSX installations of a single version can be machine specific too, so even if this were a Tiger compatible drive a clone might not work. I haven't seen anybody actually state a specific case where they had problems on a machine compatible with the OS version because of this though. The last case I can recall of system specific installations was back in OS7 days with system enablers. I have moved Tiger between machines by moving the drive with no problems, but the machines were pretty similar models (both Quicksilver, just a year difference production model).

My MacBook Pro keeps saying The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. I just took it in to the apple store a few weeks ago, and since then I can't go into my desktop, I cant download anything to my computer.
Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu, click on the Desktop item, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself read and write access in the Sharing & Permissions section.

I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder “Music” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents". Why cant i access the files from my old mac? I tried the time machine and that isnt working either. I have files that I need to use on my new mac, all my old programs and such. I thought they said it was easy to get your files from one mac to another. Please help.
Your account names are probably different on the two Macs. If you know the UNIX command line, open a terminal window and run:
$ id
You should see a line that starts with something like this:
uid=501(your_user_id_here)
now check the owner of the folder you copied over:
$ ls -ld Music
drwx------+ 8 some_user_id_here staff 272 May 14 16:08 Music
Do the IDs match? If not, you could change the ownership. Say your id is "johnsmith"
$ chown -R johnsmith Music
Now try and access it with iTunes. -
Error Msg: "The application iTunes can't be opened. -1712" How can I open the application?
Error Msg: "The application iTunes can't be opened. -1712" Spinning Wheel from ****! How can I open this application?
Try downloading and reinstalling iTunes.
Does iTunes start normally in Safe Mode by holding down the Option and Command keys when starting iTunes?
If it works normally, take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins -
My os is 10.8.4. Airport Utility is 6.3. When I try to pull backups, time capsule says: 'The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.'. So I cannot use Time capsule to back up so what gives?
Did you use migration assistant when you set up the computer?
TM will treat this as a different computer and permissions issues can arise from that.
Pondini is the expert on that stuff.. hopefully he can drop in.
But I recommend you read all the FAQ to do with restore.. Q14-17.
And then look at the permissions issues he lists in troubleshooting.
E9 in particular. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html -

The application Safari can't be opened -1712
Has anyone seen this error message when trying to open the Safari application?
The application Safari can't be opened.

Thank youThanks Carolyn!
Force Quitting within Activity Monitor is a quick and efficient way to handle most Applications "Not Responding" or seeming not to open with error -1712.
It can also work great for an Application that "Freezes" and is giving the spinning beach ball
Just be aware that you may lose any unsaved work by force quitting an application.
