10.3.9 Software not working,

hi there, the problem I've run into is that all of the OS programs (Mail, Safari, Calculator, Calendar, Mac Help, Software Update...etc.) don't want to work. They all just freeze up. All other programs that I'm running are working fine, (IE, Adobe Suite, etc..)it just seems to be the applications that came with the OS, and it just started happening out of nowhere.
I tried a software update thinking maybe there is a fix hidden in there somewhere, but of course that is one of the applications that is affected.
Any ideas? I've never run into this before. Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Jay.

jaay,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
With those symptoms, I would recommend that you follow the steps listed in Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch, by Dr. Smoke.

    You need to be more specific about which software applications you're using, the versions and what happens when you try to open them.
    It would also be nice if you could include which model MacBook Air you're using.

  • Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

    Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.  the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties  I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device?  IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

    Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver.  I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update.  After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

    It appears that one of our Experts is trying to answer your inquiry on another member's Thread on this subject.
    I will comment briefly here and then withdraw.
    Commentary
    After installing the Full Feature Software, at least in many cases involving Windows 8.1 installs of the printer software, you should see a Printer Assistant shortcut on your Desktop.  You can use the Printer Assistant to access the Scan to Document or Photo software package. 
    Although there is a scan program within the hierarchy of many of the Printer software folders, I have not seen an recent instance where the scan program is a stand-alone executable.  In other words, you must call the Scan package from a parent program, even assuming you can find a "Scan" program in Bin or another similar folder.

  • FingerPrint Sensor/Software not working right with Windows XP Pro SP3

    Hi All,
    I have a 3 month old Satellite Pro S300-S2504 (2.4 GHz CPU, 3 GB RAM, Bluetooth, firewire - was a custom build with most of the options I could get). The O/S installed was/is Vista Business. It came with a dowgrade XP Pro SP3 disc as well.
    I bought a second hard drive - swapped it with the original and installed Windows XP Pro on it - having grown tired of Vista. I don't intend to keep both O/S's - but I didn't want to mess with what I had until I got XP working - and that's the reason I got the second hard drive for XP. Anyway, XP Pro is installed and working except the fingerprint sensor. As soon as I booted for the first time - with nothing but the factory everything installed, it prompted me to register fingers for the sensor. I tried but I got a database not found error followed by a sensor not working error. I got the latest updates for the fingerprint sensor, removed what I had - rebooted and installed the newer program - I got the same error. I then uninstalled the program again, went through the registry and removed all entries whose key had TrueSuite in it, rebooted and installed the latest version again - rebooted - and got the same errors. Looking in Device Manager, the sensor is working fine but once I try to register a finger and it fails, I then look in Device Manager and the sensor has a yellow error indicator. I used System Restore to go back to the original configuration and then tried the Fingerprint drivers/patches for Vista and for Windows 7. All of them installed but I got the same database not found error followed by the fingerprint sensor not working error.
     I did end the program, then using Task Manager, I ran the Fingerprint utility as administrator - still got the same errors. I've completely reinstalled from the Windows XP restore CD four times trying to solve this and I can't get the fingerprint reader to register fingerprints - I always get that error.
    I have a lot of graphic editing (movies) software as well as file conversion programs and a very stable version of Roxio Easy Media Creator that all works fine in Windows XP - but it all has problems running in Vista and I'm tired of the bugs that Vista seems have - and I want to use Windows XP Pro. I will try any suggestions.  The fingerprint sensor and software works reliably in Vista. I even updated it and that went fine. I suspect there's a problem with the XP version of the software for my computer. I did notice that Toshiba doesn't sell the this model series with XP downgrade as an option anymore. I wonder if this is one of the reasons.
    Anyway - I would very much appreciate help with this. Any ideas at all are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Satellite Pro M10-S405 
    ..a clean Win XP Pro install and it still doesnt work.There is a Win Xp key on the bottom of the laptop, but I cant seem to use it.
    The Product Key that comes with the computer is useless to activate a retail installation. You would need to purchase a new one or convice Microsoft that an old one is no longer in use.
    In the device manager it shows
    Ethernet Controller
    Multimedia Audio Controller
    Network Controller
    Unknown Device needing Drivers. I have searched and downloaded drivers and installed them but it still doest work.
    Get the drivers from here.
    Install the chipset utility first, followed by the display driver. Be sure to install the common modules prior to any Toshiba utilities, including power management.

  • HP Scan 3 software not working with MacOS 10.9 Mavericks

    I just bought a new iMac to replace my old iMac and updated toe mew Mac to 10.9 Mavwericks.  Now my HP Scan 3 software does not work and there is no update for this software that I can find.  Can anyone help getting updated HP scanning software to use with Mavericks.  Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply.  I tried what you suggestsed and it did not work.  My printer was listed.  The website says it is for MacOS 10.8 and Mavericks is 10.9.  My printer prints fine.  The problem is with the HP Scan 3 software.  When I try to use it I get a dialog box that says check withn the developer as it does not work with my OS.  Also, I went to the firm ware updater in my HP utilities folder and trie to run that.  I got a message saying that there is no update for my device.
    It is hard to believe that HP has not updated the scan software to work with Mavericks.

  • Zen Sleek: Software not work

    well i just received a Zen Sleek today for Christmas and so far the only problem im having is that the software is not working on my computer. I think the CD ROM Dri've on my comp is messed up so I was just wondering if there was some way I could download all the software I need for my Zen Sleek... The media explorer thing, the mediasource, and w/e else I need. Ive been looking around this site and haven't been able to find what I need.
    thanks in advance for the help.

    thank you so much! now i have another problem though...i tried to install the Playsforsure CD on my computer, but it says I need Service Pack or higher. im on the microsoft website looking for it and it told me to download the automatic updates for windows XP, however service pack is not on the list of updates im downloading, like microsoft said it would be. is this Playsforsure CD necessary for my mp3 player?
    Not necessarily. It's only necessary if you want to use PlayForSure compatible subscription music e.g. Yahoo Music Unlimited, and/or if you want "driverless" support on Windows XP.
    The v2 firmware will mean you can ONLY use the player with Windows XP (+ SP/2 + WMP0) PCs.
    If you don't need this stick with v.
    if so, does anyone have a clue as to how i can download Service Pack ?
    Windows Update should prompt with Service Pack 2, as this is the latest. SP2 is better to have.
    also, the first thing im supposed to download on your list is not listed under downloads for Zen Sleek.
    Ah! I was forgetting you have a Sleek. Hmm... look under another player like the Micro, although there's a possiblity the earlier drivers won't work for the Sleek.
    If not, you'll have to try and resolve this problem with your CD-ROM dri've.

  • NI488.2 linux driver software not working

    I have installed and uninstalled and re-installed several times NI 488.2 driver for linux.  Version 2.5 - in SUSE Linux 10.1.
    When selecting troubleshooting, it says the software wasn't installed correctly and says to re-boot and install sofware again.  The GPIB explorer sees the card, but I can't get past the troubleshooting box that says to reinstall the software.  When I uninstall, the nikal and nipal do not totally uninstall.  I looked at the knowledge database and followed the directions on uninstalling, however the UNINSTALL in the /usr/local/natinst/ni4882 directory do not exist, evan after I re-installed the driver again.  I don' t know where to go from here to figure out why the software is not installed correctly.  Can you direct me in the right direction to correct whatever problem may exist?

    Hi Song M!
    This is a screen capture of when I uninstall the driver.  I've done this before.  Apparently, it doesn't totally uninstall and I'm wondering if that has something to do with my installations not working properly.  However, I get no errors when I install the driver.  In answer to your other questions - the driver is running just fine on another linux machine.  I believe there is something in my linux installation causing this, but I'm not quite sure what it is, and where to start poking around.  I also believe the problem is in the installation of the sofware, not the hardware, since that is the error I receive.

    I found a problem in the knowledge database about uninstalling earlier when I was attempting to fix this problem.  It follows.  I do not have uninstall scipts in these directories after installation of the software.  So, I'm not sure if there's a problem in my installation, or if these just don't exist anymore.  But, in any case, I can't uninstall everything.
    This is what I saw in the knowledge base:
    Problem:
    How do I uninstall the NI-488.2 version 2.5 driver for Linux?
    Solution:
    Uninstallation scripts ship with the NI-488.2 version 2.5 driver for Linux.  The uninstallation is componentized, so you will have to run multiple scripts if you wish to completely remove the driver from your system.  To uninstall NI-488.2, run the following commands as root:
    /usr/local/natinst/ni4882/UNINSTALL-help
    /usr/local/natinst/ni4882/UNINSTALL-util
    /usr/local/natinst/ni4882/UNINSTALL-driver
    Additionally, NI-KAL as well as an additional NI support library are installed with NI-488.2 version 2.5 but may be required by other NI programs.  If you do not need any additional NI software, run the following uninstallation scripts:
    /usr/local/natinst/nikal/bin/UNINSTALL
    /usr/local/natinst/nipal/bin/UNINSTALL
    Note: Newer versions of NI-KAL and the NI support library installed by NI-488.2 may not include these UNINSTALL scripts.  In this case the NI-DAQmx or NI Modular Instruments Driver UNINSTALL scripts should be run last and they will remove NI-KAL and the NI support library.
    The NI-488.2 installer also installs the LabVIEW Runtime Engine.  Depending on the Linux distribution, you will need to either remove this via RPM or by deleting the shared object from /usr/local/lib.
    So, still looking for more suggestions.  I have attempted all you said to do.  And still have the same problem.
    Thanks,

  • X-Fi Bundled software not working in Vis

    As the title states, the Software CD that came with my Xtreme Music is not working in Vista. While to Beta drivers do allow sound output, I no longer have access to my software. Will there be a fix for this or a software download anytime in the forseeable future or should I forget about it's Just wondering.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    To use the software from the CD, you have to be using the drivers for XP (since the CD is for XP). If you have anything else then the X-Fi Xtreme Audio, you should get the software with the beta drivers and if you have the Xtreme Audio then try using the software AND drivers from the CD.

  • Apple scanner software not working with HP

    HP claims that the Apple Scanner Software on PowerBook is not working properly with the HP scanner

    Is this a question about the scanning software in the MacBook Pro computer shown
    in your post's lower boundary area, or do you have a PowerPC G4 PowerBook, too?
    There may be a newer or alternative driver for a recent version of OS X, that the
    older obsoleted PowerBook can't run; but a later supported MacBook Pro, can.
    Issues with Apple products, software or hardware that may elicit comment,
    can be addressed to Apple Feedback... in case you want to tell them direct.
    Mac OS X - Feedback
    If you have posted in the vintage/obsolete PowerBook notebook ASC discussion,
    by accident, Hosts could relocate this thread to one more appropriate, on request.
    You may have to look into alternative drivers or software for scanners, if whatever
    Mac you are using with the HP scanner is unsuitable. The older PPC based Macs
    can't run an OS X version past Leopard 10.5.8. With a later MacBook Pro running
    Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, you may have difficulty if HP does not support it...
    Drivers for current printers & some scanners may be included in Mavericks; but
    for users of older printer/scanner/copier all-in-ones, bits may be left behind. If
    the HP product is older, a different version HP scanner driver may work. There
    are a few open source drivers available, however I do not recollect the web site.
    Please make clear what version HP product, which Apple computer portable, and
    what OS X version, your discussion actually pertain to. Some users refer to a
    MacBook/Pro as a PowerBook; and for a time, a MacBook as an iBook. Oh well.
    {edited & re-posted -- after accidental reference to an unreleased software version}

    please solve this issue as soon as possible.
    iam un able to send or receve any deta.

    Do you get the message 'Unable to perform Bluetooth Operation' when you try enabling BT ? If so, many users are facing this issue on various models. What you may try is Updating / Re-installing the Firmware..If that doesn't solve the issue then Reset the phone by dialing *#7370# followed by the security code (Default is 12345 unless set by you) when prompted. Be warned that this will erase all data from the phone memory..so Back-up data first. You will need to restore after the Reset. You will also need to re-install the applications that currently are installed.. If this also doesn't solve the issue then most probably its an Hardware issue that can ONLY be resolved by Nokia Care technicians...
    BTW, is the FM Radio working OK ?
