I cannot use service:  make sticky note

Hi,
I posted the question below many months ago and had several helpful responses but unfortunately nothing helped. Basically I can set up a new user on my machine (24" iMac OS 10.4.9) and the new user CAN use the service "Make new sticky note". I cannot. Very strange and no one knows why. BTW, the replies indicated it was not only me; others had the same problem. Anyone want to add $.02?

I find the ability to copy thiings from an application to a sticky note using the "make new sticky note" command under services very useful but it no longer works (for me) under 10.4.3. In fact, it is no longer even mentioned under Mac help. Does anybody kow what is happening? Thanks,

Hello, rickw9.
This post lists troubleshooting steps which are a bit more serious than my first recommendation. Both are in the Automation panel of OnyX.
The second task I ran was Reset: LaunchServices database. A restart is not required, but save any open work anyway.
Information from OnyX: Rebuild the LaunchServices database allows you to remove the links between documents and applications and to correct misc problems. Reset the LunchServices database deletes the current database, its preferences, and creates a new database.
Review the information in the Notes section of this link so you know what to expect. [1] You may be prompted to approve the launch of an application associated with a document the first time you double-click that document. [3] You may find that you will need to recreate associations you have created between specific file types and applications. This is done by using Get Info —> Open with.
Resetting Launch Services
I had also tested all five of the Clear Cache options simultaneously, but I have done that before and Make New Sticky Note was not fixed. If you want to try that, do two things: save any open work because a restart is required, and read this link so you know what to expect.

Thanks for your patience. I am coming at your post sideways because I was not specifically troubleshooting Make New Sticky Note.
Sincerely (and with hope that this might be helpful),

  • FFv19: cannot use for long without (Not Responding). Have to restart FF about ten times a night

    Never had this problem until V19 [and I don't want V20 yet--no Norton toolbar] I open about 10 tab and it chokes up. [used to have 20 tabs open] Cannot play any game or puzzle because it locks up.

    hello, for general advice on this error please refer to [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]].
    please also note that norton has already released an update that makes its toolbar compatible with firefox 20: https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-20-amp-Google-Chrome-26-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/937023

  • Another "Cannot use catalog... not writable and cannot be opened" issue.

    After a restore of a Windows7 system backup image (using the built-in Windows tools), my main catalog is now stuck with this error.  I do have daily backups which are all fine so I've only lost work on about 20 images (really only tagging and metadata since I didn't do much with them) so I am not at all bent out of shape. I'm more curious to know what is going on here since based on my troubleshooting I'm pretty convinced this isn't the Win7 permissions issue.
    My setup:
    -LR 3.3
    -Win7 Ultimate 64
    -Xeon server with SATA backplane
    -C: and D: on same physical disk - windows, apps and "personal data" only (Vista and Win7 dual boot, haven't used Vista in a year so was removing that partition and resizing D, and that's what started this... learned to let sleeping dogs lie)
    -F: 1TB PhotoDrive - contains my Lightroom folder with the .lrcats, and the Backup folder; outside that is my "Negatives" folder structure containing the NEFs and .xmp sidecar files.
    -G: small RAID0 for Lightroom and Photoshop/Bridge (never use Bridge anymore) caching folders
    I've searched this forum and found a number of similar threads (newest Jan 1); however, all have indicated permissions and ownership problems with Windows 7, so I've spent the last 4 hours or so researching and changing ownership type things on my system as regards the master file.
    First I verified that I could create a new file into that same Lightroom folder.  Check.
    Next I copied the broken catalog in place and tried to open the copy (surely I own that one!) and no go.
    Yet I can open all the backup catalogs just fine (same drive, same owner, same parent folder).
    Then I manually went through the security properties of the Lightroom folder and added full permissions for everyone.  Took awhile as I could see it going through all previews in subfolders as well ... but no change in behaviour.
    I manually went through the advanced security properties and verfied that my user was in fact the owner of the individual lrcat file.  (and then went back and did that for the folder as well).  No dice.
    I went back to the folder and changed the ownership to the administrator group.  (just for grins, checked it now - still same behavior)  Then changed the ownership back to me (still won't open).
    Finally, I copied the catalog over the network to my laptop (where I can see the ownership properties of this file reflect my laptop user) and it still won't open using my laptop copy of LR 3.3.
    It's frustrating to not be able to fix this (I mean, this *could* have been catastrophic!), but I've wasted enough time on it now.  I also don't really know what caused it - it had been several days since working with photos, and my 1TB "PhotoDrive" was not touched during the system restore on the other disk (well... that's not true now that I think about it... since it is my largest drive, it's actually where I stored the system backup file, so it was the "source" drive of the restore).
    I did want to post and report it; perhaps someone has already dealt with it. I'd love to know what's going on.  Not sure if adobe tech monitors here or not, but if they want the file for forensics, I could try to post it somewhere, it's about 1GB so that would suck a bit.
    -Brent

    This may or may not be relevant but I suffered from this message (and not being able to open the catalog) when I was switching between using a catalog (on the same caddy based hard-drive) on two different PCs, one Win 7 64 and the other XP 32 BUT only if, rather than completely close down the PC, I hibernated it.  As long as I closed the PC down I could open the catalog succesfully on the second machine but if I hibernated I could not (even if LR itself had been closed down). Something was apparently marking the files when I hibernated(?)
    Hope that makes sense!
    Like you I didn't lose much work as backups from both machines functioned just fine.

  • I can't use the sticky note function-Help!

    I have version 9 and I am not able to makes sticky notes in reviewing the work that is sent to me. I had version 5 where all worked well and recently got a new hard drive and installed Adobe Reader 9. I read that the document has to have permission to make comments and when I go to preferences it says that this document does not have permission....but when I call the person who sent it(graphic artist who works in Quark) -she said that nothing has changed and that it does have permission. Help! What do I do to be able to use the sticky note function again.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    I have noticed a similar problem at my friends computer. The small company he works for has a regular Apple Quad tower running Version Cue 3 w/ Leopard. The system has Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional installed. When he logs in and creates a PDF review, he is able to see the review window open up in Safari with the commenting features. Granted, since he has Adobe 9 Pro, he doesn't need to "Enable the Commenting" feature.
    So we tested on his lap top that just had the Adobe Reader 9 (AR9) recently installed on a fresh copy of Tiger 10.4.11. He got his invite email and went to the server and was able to do all the functions except for one: when he went to check out the review and clicked to open the PDF, it came up with an JavaScript error indicating that the: This Document is Available for Review in Acrobat Reader. You must use Adobe Acrobat .. blah blah
    So I did the next obvious step and went to AR9 and and "Enabled the Commenting". Saved it as a different document name and re imported it into the Version Cue through Bridge. I went back in and tried to initiate a new review with the updated file. SAME ERROR POPPED UP. Now, I was able to directly open the PDF document that I exported from AR9 on my friend's lap top (solo Reader) and the document loaded successfully.
    The users all have the proper permissions. It works on a system with Acrobat but not with just the Reader installed. Any ideas out there?

  • I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

    I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

    You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
    a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
    must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
    institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
    It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
    from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
    To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
    available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
    in the US with verified billing address in the US.
    You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
    cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
    the aforesaid conditions.

  • I cannot use the bottom part of my touch screen. It would not respond to any of the touches I make. Is the screen broken or have I stuffed up my settings? I want to be able to type on my iPhone

    I cannot use the bottom part of my touch screen. It would not respond to any of the touches I make. Is the screen broken or have I stuffed up my settings? I want to be able to type on my iPhone

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have the problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple.

  • I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

    i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?

    First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.

  • Stickies/sticky notes confusion- services menu

    I am so confused. I recently wanted to start using the services menu to make new stickies with selected text. The problem is, i have 2 post-it® type apps installed- stickies, which says it is an apple application, v.6. Then i have one called "sticky notes". It's about says it's a third-party app. But the services menu makes a new note in "sticky notes", and i want it to make one in "stickies", as i like it better. And it being an apple application, shouldn't that be the default anyway?

    Click the close button in the top-left corner of the sticky note to close it.
    Click the Save button in the Close dialog.
    Type a name and choose a destination for the note.
    Choose an option from the Format pop-up menu:
    Plain Text files cannot include paragraph and font formatting or graphics and other embedded files.
    RTF files can include paragraph and font formatting. If you add graphics to an RTF file, its file name extension is changed to ".rtfd."
    RTFD files can include paragraph and font formatting, as well as graphics.
    Click Save.

  • Make a new Sticky note from an application

    All applications have a means of making a new sticky note from the application menu/Services/make a new sticky note, but it does not work on my G5 imac. The application menu blinks but a note is nowhere to be found. I have searched the forums and have tried trashing the stickies preferences but nothing was found or has worked. I am able to create a note from the Stickies application however.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    All I did was launch Stickies.app, close the default junk while not saving, make a new note from the Edit menu, and quit the application.
    I next tried it from Finder and it made a small desktop picture. I quit the app then. (That retains the sticky itself)
    Next I launched Safari, highlighting a 3 line sentence out of its first hit, then to Finder ->> Services ->> Make New Sticky Note. Stickies launches with highlighted text in place. I quit to retain sticky.
    Because Stickies.app retains (keeps its own data) OR saves (Externally as a file) oddly, I seldom use it. A such a simple .app but awkard to use.
