App' icon boucing in dock and app' not starting

Hi there, can anyone help?
I used to use Photoshop 7 on OS9 with no problems. After switching over to OSX I found that I couldn't start Photoshop (although I could by switching back to OS9). I uninstalled it and reinstalled it with the same results.
As a very regular Photoshop user i continued using it on the OS9 operating system, although it was a pain to keep switching operating systems because I wanted to use other OSX applications at the same time.
I recently uninstalled Photoshop 7 and installed Photoshop CS. Now I don't have Photoshop at all! The installer said that CS had been successfully installed but every time I try and start the application the icon bounces in the dock and disappears.
desperate to get Photoshop up and running on OSX because I need it for work.
Any tips would be fab.
Tim

Thanks for your help. I've tried everything that people have suggested and still no go
The only thing that may have something to do with the problem is at the bottom of the system log. Being a complete technophobe it means absolutely nothing to me, so any further help on the matter would be very much appreciated.
I've copied and pasted the end of the log below.
Cheers,
Tim

Do you have Time Machine enabled. If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder. Then restore.

Ical appears translucent in dock and will not show events when opened

Has anyone recently experienced iCal appearing translucent in the dock? This is weird and just recently started happening. Once iCal is launched it appears normal in the dock but goes back to translucent when I quit. Our MacBook Pro is brand new just a few weeks old and all the software is up to date. Also, even weirder, suddenly the events are not showing up in the month view when launched. I can go back to December and then move to January and then they appear. I made sure that the preferences are checked to show times and that in View "show the to do list" is selected. Whenever it has been launched the calendar is blank and will only show events after view or preferences have been manipulated. Any help would be appreciated..

kkovardfd,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Do you have any duplicate fonts? If so, make sure to resolve duplicates with Font Book.
Remove the iCal icon from the Dock, and replace it with the iCal Application located in your Applications folder.
Open System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats> and set/re-set your appropriate "Region."
After deleting the iCal plist, also delete the com.apple.Dock.plist, log out/in from your account, or restart the computer. Your Dock will revert to default appearance.

I am resurrecting my old iMacG5 for my grandson. Appleworks has question mark in dock and does not load from bundled software on original installation discs. Can anyone help?

I'm sorry no-one has answered you yet - I'm afraid I don't know the answer to the question: but I wanted to put into your mind that starting up with AppleWorks at this stage isn't a good idea. The program was 'end-of-lifed' years ago, it won't run on Lion, and some of the document types created in it - Databases in particular - cannot be opened at all by any other program whatever. Word Processing documents can be opened in Pages, and Spreadsheets in Numbers (with some reservations in both cases), but building up a collection of AppleWorks documents at this stage is going to lead to problems later on.
It's difficult to know what to recommend for a PowerPC machine that would still be compatible with modern ones. An older version of Microsoft Office, perhaps, if you can find one which will run on PPC; but most of the modern Word Processors are Intel only. This is something you would need to investigate.

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

R12-oafm, forms and oacore not starting up after IP adress change

Heloo my friend;
I had problem while i changed my server IP...when i start adstrtall.sh script its end wiht :
adstrtal.sh: Exiting with status 3 and adoafmctl.sh: exiting with status 204 ...soo my login page doesnt come to explorer and it gives HTTP 404 page not found error
So here is the solution:
Cause
The OC4J lock files contains the IP adress, after the ip adress change the lock files includes the wrong Ip adress which caused the OJ4J to fail
Solution
1 - open a new shell and set your apps environment
2 - cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
3 - adopmnctl.sh stop
4 - check if it is really down: ps -ef grep grep opm
5 - delete the following:
rm -fr $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/persistence/*
rm -fr $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oafm/persistence/*
rm -fr $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/persistence/*
6 - adopmnctl.sh start
7 - check if the issue has been resolved: adapcctl.sh status
I hope its helpful

MacBook Pro has a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode.

MacBook Pro has started to get a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode. This happened once previously, however, it allowed a safe mode reboot and then worked for a week or so. While utilzing the machine, it started with the spinning beach ball for about 5 minutes, went into a shut down mode and then rebooted and came back up with the grey screen with a circle and slash after a few minutes. For the past three days it has been stuck and will not allow it to boot into safe mode. Any idea or suggestions?

Try starting the MBP with the OPTION key down. If you see two HDD icons, select the recovery Icon. From the 4 option menu, select Disk Utility. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
If you cannot get into the recovery partition, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

Hi Alkaf,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPad will not turn on. Take a look at the iPhone article linked below, it provides tips that will help resolve power issues for both iPhones and iPads.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

- After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod? If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
- If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement. Not much else for troubleshooting here. Sorry.

please help me my ipod nano 7g went off and will not start, this happened after I connect to my computer, my ipod will restart and I no longer turn on. what I do?

Hey saintbless,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines troubleshooting information for iPod nano. While it mostly refers to the 6th generation, most steps apply for your model as well:
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
Will not turn on or screen remains dark
- Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
- If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
- If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
- If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
Thanks,
Matt M.
