Hi Amanda,
Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

You may need to contact Adobe Support if this does not resolve your issue:

My all reports are running very slow now, I am using Reports 6i?

Dear Friends,
My all reports are running very slow now, I am using Reports 6i. A few months ago there speed is better. Please suggest me the solution of this problem.
Best regards,
Shahzad

Get statspack/AWR running against your database and analyze the reports. 15 minutes interval between snaps should be enough.
That should give you a clue as to what is going wrong in your database.
Since you are saying that the reports speed was better a few months ago, it is possible that you are suffering from "data growth".

HT4718 I upgraded my OSX to Version 10.8.4 and all operations are running very slow, especially my online browsing. Anyone else have this problem, and can undo the update?

I saw an update was available and trusted without exploring what was involved. Now all applications are running
slow including anything having to do with the internet. Can I uninstall the update?

Start up in Safe Mode. Connect to your router with an ethernet cable, as your wifi may not work, and apply the 10.8.4 Combo update.

I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite. You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

Firefox 6. says update is available. when i try to install error that other firefox is currently running so update will not install. then firefox starts. i verified no other programs are running on the pc but still get same message

This began when an auto update was downloaded to my pc late August. I do use thunderbird 6.02 and that is up to date. That I closed before Firefox update attempt. Task mnager in windows 7 says no programs are running. Current version in firefox is 6.0 with update available when i go to help about firefox.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

You can delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

SCDPM 2012 - backups are running dead slow

SCDPM 2012 - backups are running dead slow.
Below is the details of software and hardware.
Server OS : WIndows Server 2008 R2
DPM version : SCDPM 2012 , Version : 4.0.1920.0
Server Hardware : Prolinet BL 460C G1
Tape drive - LTO 4 drives
Network : HP NC325m PCIe Quad Port Adapter , driver version 16.1.0.1 ( 10/16/2013 )
Could you please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks
Raghavendra Bhat

we've got a Windows Server 2008 R2 server that has been running DPM v4.0.1920.0 since it was released in
10/18/2012.
we are using D2D2T
We did have tape throughput performance issues initially, but after switching to the in-box LTO tape-drive drivers included with the operating system (instead on HP drivers), and setting several registry values associated with tape ports, we got it working.
see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3cda9c6a-688d-4c2d-8dc0-9d04b8ea1f05/dpm-2012-not-filling-lto3-tapes?forum=dpmtapebackuprecovery
The best advice to speed up the D2D part of the backup is to configure any antivirus software if present to not perform any real-time scanning made by the DPMRA.EXE and DRSR.EXE executables.
Don't backup the system drive of the DPM server to tape, because there are as many junctions as you have protected volumes define, which makes the backup not work at all.
Also, for the system being backed up D2D,

I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday. With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar. How can I tell what programs are running in the background. I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

Reports are running deliberately slower

Hi,
After the installation of office 2007 reports are running vey slow.
Can any one let me know what is the reason.

Hi,
First check using ST03 where the most time is being taken. Based on that decide where the problem lies, i.e front end, network, backend. Based on what you describe , it looks like a backend problem with the data volumes. Some of the things you need to look at are :
1. First of all compress the cube data and also the aggregate data.
2. Look to see if you need to create more aggregates.
3. Through RSRV check the status of the indices.
4. Would be a good idea to drop and rebuild the indexes.
5. Check the statistics on the cubes. They should be green. Regenerate the statistics.
6. Think about deleting the old data from the cube. Talk to your business, and see if they still need the data that is 5 yrs old, to report on and if not suggest you delete that data. That'll help tremendously. Even if they need that data, look at ways you can archive that data someplace and then delete it from the cubes.
Cheers,
Kedar

Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

There is nothing you can do with iMovie program itself. Slow response in usually due to a shortage of system resources (CPU, RAM and disk space).
How much free disk space do you have on your boot drive and what is the capacity of the drive?
You can check memory utilization while running iMovie using Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities). What does the Memory tab show for Swap used?
Are you running many other processor-intensive applications a the same time?
If you have a lot of events and projects, it will help a bit to hide the ones you are not using by moving them from your iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders into an enclosing folder so iMovie doesn't load them.

How do you know what programs are running?

Is there any way to tell from the Dock which programs are running? In Tiger there use to be a little black arrow underneath the app. What's changed in Leopard?

The default Leopard Dock indicators are a bit difficult to see with the light background and 3D glass effect. If you would like to have a different look then go to http://www.leoparddocks.com/ I'm using the "Revamped" design.

How can I tell if programs are running in the background.

iPod touch version 4.2.1, how can I tell if programs are running in the background. Battery is dead quickly and time/date reverts to Dec 31, 1969. can see thin silver frame around screen like something is running in background.

You really can't tell unless you hear music or similar. Many are always listening for notifications and other things.
To preserve battery life see the following:
Apple - Batteries - iPod
I leave mine in airplane mode when sleeping.

Several programs are running at Startup

Hi Everyone, I truly need your assistance as I am a novice to the internal workings (system Admin) of the computer (Windows 7). My computer is performing terribly and when I check the "troubleshoot" system it tells me that "SEVERAL PROGRAMS
ARE RUNNING AT STARTUP". I know this a simple "fix" if you know what you are doing but I don't. Please help me....someone.
How do you know which programs are the ones needed at STARTUP?.

It the Resume feature.
When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Press return.
You can also accomplish this through the GUI by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State/TextEdit and delete that file…
(note that the User Library is hidden - one way to get there is to go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library")
To turn off Resume globally...
chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Press return
The reverse of the first one is to replace false with true.
The reverse of the second one is
chflags nouchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Again, you can accomplish this through Finder by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting the folder.

ISight indicator light on even when no programs are running.

The green indicator light next to the built-in iSight camera is on, even though the only program currently running is Safari. Furthermore this seems to be causing the camera to show nothing but that same shade of green when I open Photobooth. The color settings are set for millions, so I know that's not the problem. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Hi. First, I suggest you install the most updated software from Apple. Try resetting the SMC as well. Here's the steps:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
If none of this works, it is possible that you have a hardware issue. Try going to an Apple Store.

Images in all programs are reddisch

If you draw a picture in the length or larger, the image turns reddish. it is in all programs.

Its almost certain you have a drive problem
1. hardware problem (unlikely), or
2. corruption of the data or indices (likely), or
3. malware (unlikely)
So, step #1 is to boot from another drive (DVD, bootabl back, you do have one, right?) and run disk utility on the drive. Check both permoissions and the overall drive/repairs, and et it make any repairs needed.
Then try again.
if that does nto do it, we'll get more serious.
