I cannot open numbers.  When I double click on the icon it says "Numbers cannot be opened while it is being updated."  The same is happening with other programs.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks

Well, I figured itout.
Apparently the Numbers (and Pages) app downloads was stopped and \never re\started.. possibly because of something I did, like turn off my machine during them.
I went to Apple > App Store > Purchases.  I discovered all three iWorks apps were listed but showed "Resume" as the status button at the right.  I clicked on each to get them started again... and they eventually automatically became "Installed".
They work, now!

  • Hello.  I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION.  I also have Photoshop CS6 installed.  When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6.  If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in

    Hello.  I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION.  I also have Photoshop CS6 installed.  When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6.  If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in the Dock it will open in CC.  Since I like to double-click or hit return in the bridge, I am constantly having to wait until the file opens in CS6, quit CS6 an then open it another way to get it into Photoshop CC 2014.  I tried to disable CS6 by hiding it, but then double-clicking Bridge did nothing.  Any ideas why this is happening?

    Check and adjust the File Type Associations in the bridge cc preferences.

  • When I double click on Firefox Icon, it doesn't start

    when I double click on Firefox icon the clock glass appears on my pointer but the Firefox doesn't start. but some days like today it opens and doesn't have any problem.
    I predict that I will have this problem again after I close the Firefox's window.
    The problem started since a few days after updating my Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == afew days after updating my firefox

    One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • I have a MacBook Air and when I double click on gmail in my dock I can't open

    When I double click on gmail in my dock on my MacBook Air it doesn't open.

    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
    Look for these two files.
    com.apple.desktop.plist
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Right click each  one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
    Restart the computer.

  • My iPad won't show the open apps when I double click

    Double clicking to show the open apps does not work.  I re-powered but it did not help.  Any suggestions?

    For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Will there be any problems with Parallels Program if I upgrade to Maverick OS?

    I have OS 10.7.5 on my intel iMac desktop and MacBook Air with Parallels 9.0.2 running Windows XP.  Will there be any problems if I upgrade to Maverick OS? Do I have to do anything special because of the Parallels side when I upgrade?

    You shouldn't have any issues, since Parallels v9 is the current version.  You might want to visit the Parallels support forums to see if users there are aware of any issues.  I know I upgraded my MBP from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and I had no issues with my Parallels v8.  A short while after the update to Mavericks, I did upgrade my Parallels to v9, but I wasn't really having any problems on v8 either.

  • I can't open firefox. when i double click on the icon, there is a message that says: the procedure entry point squlite3_db_status could not be located in the dynamic link library mozsqlite3.dll.

    can i fix this problem anyhow or will i lose allllll my bookmarks if i reinstall firefox..??

    The first thing to do is to locate your profile folder/directory, that is easiest to do if firefox itself is open! Then copy the whole lot somewhere safe such as onto your windows desktop. This step is not entirely necessary but a belts and braces procedure, because presumably you have no other backups of your bookmarks and so it seems a prudent precautionary step.
    For informatiom the bookmarks themselves are stored multiple times. The main and most important is a file called ''places.sqlite'' there will also be a folder of backups with the extension ''.json''.
    Normally Firefox will retain bookmarks and other data when reinstalling, as long as you do NOT use the option to delete data (however that is worded). The location of the profile folder is likely to be something like
    ''C:\Documents and Settings\[name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles''
    Copy the whole lot from where it says Mozilla that should include the bookmark backups folder.
    Now you can go ahead and do a clean reinstall of firefox. Noting that these files are in a totaly different file path from the profile. typically ''C:\Programs''
    #download a new version of firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html <br> this will be firefox 5 not firefox 4 that is ok <br> [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forums/contributors/707043?last=40456 (discussion)]
    # save the file where you can find it such as on the desktop
    #uninstall firefox using XP control panel option ( do NOT remove personal data)
    #to ensure this is a clean install remove the firefox folder if it remains in your programs directory (do not confuse with the profile mentioned already)
    # run the install file for firefox 5 that you have saved already
    This should result in a clean reinstall of firefox 5, which should have your bookmarks and any other settings. In future remember to make backups of bookmarks. (The profile folders/files saved initially should not be required).
    If you had backup bookmarks, simply creating another profile may have worked to fix this problem.

  • I try to download firefox. After completion, the firefox icon is crossed out and when I double click, I get a message saying the architecture does not support this application. I have a g4 mac laptop with 10.5.8. Any suggestions?

    hard drive died two weeks ago and had it replaced by an authorized dealer.
    Previous to this disaster, I had firefox and had no problems.

    The latest 9.0.1 version is not compatible with your ppc mac os.
    Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.
    see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/system-requirements/ Firefox 9 System Requirements]
    '''The latest supported version for your os is 3.6.25''' , you can download it from:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/ Firefox 3.6 System Requirements]
    [For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, if you like, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8]

  • TS3276 Mail is not responding. When I double click the icon spinning colour ball come out and my Mac Book Air hang. Can you solve this Problem?

    Dear Sir/Madame,
    Yesterday my mail worked very well. This morning I could not open the mail. When I double click at mail icon, spinning colour ball appear and my computer hang. I have to force quit the mail. I would appreciate very much if anybody can help me to solve the problem.
    Thanks
    Bambang Sutrisna

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Disabling double click on SAP icon to create new support message

    When we double click on SAP icon, it gives pop-up for create message. Please tell me how to disable this message generation from SAP systems.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    i do not think you can deactivate this.
    A workaround could be to implement BADI SBCOS001 and use the statement LEAVE_PROGRAM to abort the popup before it is shown.
    But this would also deactivate the function "Help->Create Support Message".

  • I have photos on a cd which I'm trying to open .  If I click on them I can see the picture in the preview, but when I double click it doesn't recognise the picture.  They are all in .jpg format.  Tried copying them but it said some data cannot be read.

    Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file.   If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
    You could try a photo file recovery application like  MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.
