I get an error message when opening the Imessage app. referring to "activation error". My e-maill address is correct for Apple I.D., but cannot authenticate for Imessage.

I cannot send text message from the message icon. When I click on the app, it asks me to sign up for Imessages. When I do that, it tells me that my existing e-mail address is already associated as an Apple I.D. Can anyone offer any suggestions on what to do next? Thanks !!

When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed." After clicking on "OK" another box pops up saying "The server responded with an error." How can I get rid of these?

When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed," and after clicking ok there is another box saying "The server responded with an error." How do I get rid of this. The calendar functions all right, but just have to close both of those boxes after doing any action in the calendar app.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
Step 1
From the Calendar menu bar, select
Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
Enable this account
Then check the box again. Test.
Step 2
Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
Step 3
If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
Step 4
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
*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.

AE Error message when opening: The following plugins have failed to load

I am getting the following message when I open AE. I reinstalled AE and am getting the same message. I don't know how to just reinstall plugins. Thanks!

Re: Cineform Plugins failure to load

Mac Pro accessing SMB shares on a windows server. After being left on all night, the MP gets "file unavailable" messages when opening files on the share.

Windows Server 2003 accessed by several PCs and Macs without previous incident. This one Mac Pro after it's been left on all night (running jobs, or just left idle), and a user tries to reconnect to an SMB share, can go to Finder, Go, Connect to Server, enter the Server info as normal, login as normal, view the directories and files as normal, but as soon as they try to open anything they are given one of the following messages:
"Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \ /). (<filename>)" - when opening a word document
"<filename> could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted." - when opening an excel spreadsheet
Note that these messages are popping up AFTER the user has double-clicked on them to open them. So the files are certainly there and correctly named (and contain only letters, numbers and underscores). After restarting the Mac Pro, the error messages are gone and the files can be accessed without problem. Would like it so that they can connect to the server without having to restart every day.

Keep getting this strange message when opening project

Hello!!!
This project worked perfectly fine yesterday but when I load it today I get this bundle of wierdness
The "SetEnv" task could not be instantiated from the assembly
What in the heck does this mean? do I have to re-install vs 2013?
Thank You
AO!

Hi dareal.apacheomega,
It seems that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss the VS IDE.
Just to make this issue clearly, when did you get this issue? Which kind of app did you develop? Is it related to the MSBuild?
I doubt that it is the VC++ APP, maybe you could check whether it is related to the Platform Toolset under project property.

How to get my mail through without opening the mail app...

Hi
I have a tendancy to when ive finished using with my apps on my Mac I always go to top left and press quit itunes or quit mail etc
if i do that to mail, obviously when a email comes through i dont get it straight through unless the mail program is open (like on my iphone, if an email comes it just comes straight through)
what im asking is, is there a way for me to get my mail through straight away whilst the mail program is open? - thing is I like things tidy and dont like all these programs left open
also what is the point of the red X in the top left corner?, if im on a website on safari and I press the X, safari is still open isnt it, but if i click back onto safari to re open the app it just goes to the homepage
so really what is pressing the red X on the top left and quitting the app altogether, what is the difference?

Mail has to be open to receive the new mail notification.
Clicking the red x button just closes the window, does not quit the application.
To quit the application, you have to select "Quit......" from the application menu.
When an application is open, a white light indicator will be shown under the application icon in the Dock.

Get the following error message when opening The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll.

I tried to download the update but something went wrong so when I open Firefox I get the error message: The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll.
What do I do? DO I reinstall Firefox? And if so, how do I restore my bookmarks?
Thank you so much

If you can't reinstall Firefox yourself then you need to contact your IT department and ask them to check the Firefox installation.
It is possible that some files got broken with the latest update.

I can't open the application App Store on my iMac. How can I fix this?

Here is the error message I keep getting.
You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Simone ...
You can reinstall the App Store by downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, then try the App Store.

I get an error message when trying to download apps from the app store. "safari can not open the page because the address is invalid". Please help!!

You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.
