After upgrade to 10.4.x Corel Photo-Paint 11 refuses to start

I upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3.9 to 10.4.x (currently all updates done, so version is 10.4.8).
Anything works, beside a few minor things that got solved so far. However there is one big problem I deal with:
I have installed Corel Draw 11 on OS X 10.3.9 and it worked great. Now I tried to open Photo-Paint 11 (part of the package). It seems to start for a few seconds, but then does not open. No error message, nothing.
The system.log does not show any entries, same to panic.log as well as other log files I have access to.
Interestingly all other components of Corel Draw 11 (Corel Draw itself, Corel Trace and SBProfiler) are working as they should, just not Photo Paint.
Has anyone made same experiences and has a solution for this problem ? I know this software is old, but nevertheless works fine for me. So I would really look forward if someone can assist me.

I got it working myself
Maybe others are dealing with the same problem, so here is what I did:
At Corel's support website I found no information about similar problems, just a description how to set back the current workspace to factory defaults.
This is done by clicking at the program icon to start the software and then holding down the shift key immediately after clicking. Then a message box opens asking for confirmation.
Although I had done some custom settings to the workspace I had nothing to lose and gave it a try. Voila
Not sure what the reason behind is; I think that there are old configuration files existing or settings got mixed up for whatever reason.
Before I did so, I renamed the matching *.plist file at my user's library/preferences folder to *.plist.old - but this did not bring any improvement (in fact, even no new plist file became created).

Turn Photoshop into Corel PHOTO-PAINT

At the request of a couple of Photoshop enthusiasts in these forums, they thought I should post this feature request.
In a previous discussion, harry teasley wrote:

[I] agree with Harry's…
May I suggest a single suggestion, "Turn Photoshop into Corel Photo-Paint"?
In support of Harry Teasley and Mark Reynolds, I have created these lists of features included in both packages, that if not ignored might win over some Corel PHOTO-PAINT fans. Not that Adobe Photoshop is hurting for more customer base, but you get the idea. Oh! And none of these suggestions would remove any of Photoshop's existing functionality!
Here's a list of features that Corel PHOTO-PAINT has that Adobe Photoshop does NOT (as far as I know):
Mouse wheel zoom snaps to 100%.
Zoom tool actually zooms to selection bounds, even if it's greater than the document's bounds.
Cutting, copying, pasting and deleting selected layers.
File >> New From Clipboard.
Renaming menu bar commands and moving/copying them around at will.
Mapping arrow keys to keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+up and CTRL+down are my favorite)
Interactive Object Transparency Tool (wineglass tool).
Swatches panel width @ 1 swatch wide.
Ability to have larger swatches.
Click and hold on a swatch to see warmer, cooler, darker and lighter versions of that swatch.
Clicking a layer in the document to toggle between transform, rotate, warp and perspective.
If you select a layer, perform a single action on that layer, and undo that action, PP doesn't select the previous layer you had selected.
Checkpoints.
Reasonable price.
And here's a list that neither Photoshop or Corel PHOTO-PAINT has (as far as I know):
Creating new menu bar commands (wherever you want them) and assigning scripts to them.
Mouse wheel zoom does not maintain position when zooming way out and back in.
Brush strokes are not natural like Corel Painter and have a "skip rock" side-effect to them (yes, even with spacing set to 1 and smoothing checked).
Adding an alpha channel to the standard color picker.
Fully supported PNG alpha (even Photoshop creates artifacting that I've only seen present itself in Maya, but Pixelformer fixes the problem and saves the PNG appropriately). (more info)
Granted, there are a couple of features that Photoshop has, even from a Corel PHOTO-PAINT-biased standpoint, that I find extremely beneficial!
The first opened or newly-created document opens maximized (small thing, but very handy).
Vector shapes (though, still not truly vector).
Layer effects (and the drop shadows are flawless).
The healing brush! Just awesome!
I'm sure there are a multitude of other features within Adobe Photoshop that I will grow to love, but these are the ones that stick out to me now, after having been forced to use Photoshop over the last couple years.
And I don't steal software either, so that's part of the reason I've grown up using Corel's products.

He was trying to argue that Photoshop had a more reasonable price with Elements.
I was only pointing out that Corel also has a cheaper alternative to PHOTO-PAINT. In fact, you can't even BUY PHOTO-PAINT solo. You have to buy the entire Graphics Suite.
This wasn't always the case, however.

After upgrade to IOS 5, cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer, Why?

Don't know why I cannot get photos from camera roll to my computer after upgrade to IOS 5.
I could find an external driver to get photos before.

What can I do to solve this problem...??
HELP pls!!

Try disabling Norton and syning. If that doesn't help try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.
If you continue to have trouble you can use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer your photos to your computer while you continue to try to troubleshoot this.

Firefox would not connect after upgrade. Did system restore (XP) and not firefox wont even start

Firefox would not connect after upgrade from verion 6 to version 7. Did system restore (XP) and now firefox wont even start

Sometimes Firefox will hang during startup or shutdown, and still be running invisibly in the background. Usually in that case, you need to "kill" it either by restarting Windows or using the Windows Task Manager. It sounds as though you are familiar with opening the Processes tab, finding firefox.exe, and using End Process.
If you use an advanced firewall or other security software that tracks which programs are permitted to use the internet, please see these articles:
* [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
* [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
A couple of other suggestions:
(1) Can you start Firefox in its Safe Mode? Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. You should get a two-button dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset). Any difference?
(2) In case your regular software missed something that is interfering with Firefox, try the scanning and clean-up tools listed in this article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

Did Photoshop Steal Features From Corel PHOTO-PAINT?

I emailed this old-school PHOTO-PAINT tutorial guy from forever ago and he gave me this list of features that PHOTO-PAINT had before Photoshop:
PP had floating Objects before PS had layers (they are the same thing)
PP had unlimited multiple levels of undo while PS only had 1 undo.
PP had lenses before PS had styles (these were both based on methods to incorporate non-destructive alterations to objects/layers and to the image) .
PP had clip masks before PS had layer masks (again, same thing)
PP had a Paint on Mask Mode before PS had Quick Mask
Anyone know anything about this?

Yeah I like how he stated in a previous stupid post that he's been doing this stuff for 15 years!! Come on, did anyone look at his profile pic?? I mean he's still in school and all, must have been doing this stuff when he was in diapers. You'd think he knows it all by now, oh wait I forgot he does!!
You can't possibly understand how productive this can be unless you have relied on it for so long (myself, 15 years). I literally use this command ALL the freakin' TIME!
Upon farther review I'd say he picked out a few brain cells too:

After upgrade to IOS8 can't import photos from Aperture

I upgraded to IOS8, reset my iPad to factory settings and reinstalled all my apps from scratch.
When go into iTunes and I select to import photos from Aperture on my Mac it hangs.
I have an old iPhoto library on my Mac and if I select photos from that it works.
I have switched off everything to do with iCloud after seeing some posts that this might be causing the problem, but not a solution for me.
(I have over 28,000 photos in my Aperture library).

Did you turn on iCloud Photo Library? I suspect it may remove the ability to sync photos and videos between Macs and iOS devices.

After upgrading to iOS 5, my synced photos are not alphabetical. How can I fix this?

I have around 2,000 pictures in my camera roll and around 4-5 albums. Before, all my pictures were sorted alphabetically, but after this upgrade each album's pictures seem to be in a random order. Any ideas on how to order them the same way they are on my PC?

I'm afraid you'll have to wait until both Apple and the makers of your games/apps upgrade to new versions.
Apparently there are still some issues with iOS7 that are being dealt with and the same with some apps.
As for going back, I don't think you will be able to get this information from these forums...

Hint : Corel Draw and Corel Photo Paint 8 LE legit & free download

I found this while searching for good software for OS9 :
http://main.system7today.com/software/corelgraphics8/corelgraphics8.html
Basically its the full Corel Suite ( has some Potoshop capabilities ) for free.
The only thing is you can only have open one document at a time , but no restrictions in save/edit or whatever. Also a great Help System how to learn graphics manipulation.
This runs extremely well under OS 9.22 with enough Ram. ( needs PowerMac CPU)
On the site is even more goodies to find. Also note that Corel has made their WordProcessor "WordPerfect" free for Mac OS. It's as good as MS Word.

TS3960 After upgrading to Lion server 10.7.4, Server.app does not start.

My MacBook pro has slowed to a stop after upgrading from lion to mountain lion three days ago. Apps started freezing, now it has trouble even starting up. So disappointed with Apple right now.

Mountain lion has caused my MacBook to freeze up and fail to even start up.

Glad to hear that! Often, a drive that has minor corruption that has gone unnoticed will melt down when a major system install writes tens of thousands of new files. That's probably what happened to you. In the future, you should always reboot in recovery mode (hold down command-R at startup) and repair the hard drive with Disk Utility prior to any system update or upgrade.
Regarding iLife, what system did your machine originally come with? If Snow Leopard or earlier, the iLife apps will be on one of the gray disks that your machine shipped with (the one labeled "Applications"). Alternately, if you bought newer versions in the App Store, simply open the App Store and click Purchases... they should show up there.
If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you should be able to re-download iLife from the App Store. There's information on how that is done here:

After upgrade to 8.0 FF crashes every time I try to start it, even in safe mode

I guess the automatic upgrade happened last night (i hate that you auto upgrade btw) and now FF at work crashes every time I try to open it. I've had problems with FF ever since 7.0 came out. Please fix these problems because FF is almost unusable now :( So sad it is such a great program that has been ruined now

It seems to be caused by roboform 7.5.1. I upgraded to the latest version of robo and it's working now. Sorry mozilla, not your fault.. very frustrated.

After upgrading to mountain lion my mac is very slow?

Hello
After upgrading to mountain lion my mac is very slow
It was starting in 10 seconds and shuting dow in 5 seconds and now it's taking more than one minute to start it or shut down it and everything is slow
why????????/
Thanks

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Take these steps when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.
