All of my apple has programs will not open eg safari mail and stuff as well as system Prefs are in another language what should I do?
Hello I have recently installed a program called Mac keeper and it deleted some very important files, now I cannot open any of my apple programs like safari mail, photo booth, iChat, etc. If I reinstall leopard will it delete the accounts and files that are already on the
Computer? And I also found out that nobody on the computer thought of turning on time machine.
Hi,
If you stick the Leopard Install Disk in the Computer and Launch the Installer you will get offered Options and one of these is for Archive and Install with sub Option or Preserve Settings.
This will install the Software and the Apps but not touch any Home Folder of any User.
The Disk is likely to be at an earlier version of 10.5 and you will need to run Software Update (System Preferences) to get back to exactly where you were.

I have a Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded Firefox 4 and now the program will not open at all. I get an error message that reads --
"You cannot open the application 'Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture."
I am also unable to find a link to download the previous version (3.6) that was running fine. (I'm using Safari to contact you.)Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
worked great in 3 mns -
My adobe CS2 programs will not open on my macbook pro osx 10.5.8
Today my adobe cs2 suite programs will not open. They were working just fine a couple of days ago. And they have worked fine for years. I did not update to any new os that would cause them not to work. I really need to get some image work done soon and this is a real monkey wrench in my plans. I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall from the disc and it would not let me do that either. I tried to download picasa just as a quick alternative to get some images edited tonight and it would not let me open that either, even though it said it was good for 10.5 or above. So the only thing I can think of is that I downloaded something that changed some settings?

Mackeeper can also be a problem:

Programs will not open from Dock
I have updated my Macbook Pro with Yosemite which has led to - a lot. Programs will not open from Dock, they are just revealed in Finder. Scrolling with mousebuttons in a browser will zoom instead of scroll, the courser will not change after changing tool in Indesign. Just to mention a few problems i have discovered so far. I think I was an idiot to uppgrade to Yosemite. PLEASE HELP!
Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions, then quit DU and Restart the MBP. If that does not clear the issues, restart again holding the Command and R keys, and from Utilities on the menu bar select Install Mac OS X. That will reinstall Yosemite but leave your content and settings intact. See if that repairs whatever is broken.

I just updated to OS X 10.7.5 and Aperture 3.4, but program will not open, keeps telling me I to restore windows
Quit Aperture, if it is running/ hanging.
Remove the file com.apple.Aperture.plist from the folder
Your home folder > Library > Preferences
The User Library is hidden by default. You can reveal it from the Finder's "GO" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences" sub folder and remove the file
your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist.
After removing the user preferences file, you will have to reset the Preferences, you selected in Aperture's preferences panel.

I have an HP 7515 All-in-One printer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the operating programs on my Dell XPS 8700 Win7 Pro several times and it says everything is working the way it should but when I click on the desktop icon, the program will not open. I need to print an address on an envelope so I need to get into this program. Any suggestions?
Hello DavidBez,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I'd like to help get your Photosmart 7515 up and printing from your computer. I am not aware of an area in the printer software that is installed on the computer's Desktop that allows you to print an envelope, but I hope this helps get the icon working again.
HP Printer Assistant Opens the 'Printer Setup & Software' Window<---
If the above fails to resolve the issue with the software, run the Print and Scan Dr and let me know its results.
Cheers,
JERENDS

my iphoto program will not open I get a message "you have used a newer program in the past use that program" I only have the one ???
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I Just bought iMovie for yosmite and the program will not open.. I will like a fix or a refund..
I Just bought iMovie for yosmite and the program will not open.. I will like a fix or a refund.. i am getting tired of these problems...
Welcome to the world of downloaded software. There are no refunds.
Back in the good old days when software was purchased on disk one could sell it (legally).
Please describe your problem. Give us some details to go from. Are you using iMovie 06, or something newer? -
Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail. Windows Live mail is already set as my default e-mail program.
Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that resolve the issue for you? -
I have upgraded to OS X Mavericks and my MacBook keeps crashing and my numbers and pages programs will not open as they are being updated continuously
The next time the crash happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run. Be selective about what you post and don’t post huge amounts. Make sure there is no personal data visible. Information learned from Linc Davis.

I recently upgraded from an iPad 1 to an Air. One of its main uses is to avoid printing volumes of papers for meetings, so the abilty to open attachments with mail is pretty important.
There are some attachments that will not open in the mail application on an iPad Air. Some in the same format do (docx). They do open in Mail on my MacBook, and iPad1, or if I go to webmail on any device including a Blackberry, so it is not a file corruption problem. The problem persists on different networks. Other emails from the same sender do work. It seems to be specifically related to IOS 7 or the Mail app. Quickview won't work, nor will opening with a range of Apps which report a file error.
There was an historical problem with Apple garbling pdf files, but this is a new one on me.
All this is a shame because it is opening emails in attachments that was one of my main reasons for buying an Air.
Does anyone know of the cause? A solution?What about a work-around?
Ios 7.1 etc. has a problem with communicating with exchange. There are lots of reports of problems with pdf files.
The work-arounds mentioned here may be of assistnace.
