Applications wont open after they have been opened once.

Hi. I have had this problem since i got the Mac Pro. Unless i open my applications as soon as i turn on the computer, i most likely will not be able to open them later. I also have a problem when after i have opened an application, i probably wont be able to open it again unless i restart. this happens with games and other programs like office for mac. anyone else having this problem and know of a way to fix it?
Thanks.

Your system sounds like you need to do more troubleshooting and maintenance.
Running Disk Utility to repair your drive and permissions. Check your drive's health and SMART status. Run Disk Warrior 4, too.
And clean out cache files and folders.
When I setup a drive, first thing I do is erase it with the zero-all option, then install and update.
Maybe you installed something that is interfering. Also, 2GB RAM helps.
Any 3rd party hardware like USB or anything?
More than 1GB RAM is essential, but you have something else, and need to provide more details probably. Also, run the Apple Hardware Test which is on Install Disk #1.
Take a look here at "resolving startup issues"

Photos showing in memory after they have been deleted

I have an iPhone 5s and have synced photos in iTunes to import my photos, and then deleted a few hundred pics.
Currently, my phone shows that I have 116 pictures, and 0 video - but when check usage, it shows 15.9GB still being used by photos.
I have connected the phone to my computer and in iTunes done a backup, and a restore iPhone. This did not correct the issue.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thank you in advance.

In most cases, no. Unless you are experiencing a specific problem with an app, you really don't need to close anything. Should you need to, pvonk explained it nicely.
Best of luck.

Photoshop Starter Edition 3.2 Restoring photos after they have been deleted from the catalog

Rotated pictures come out blank after they have been exported.

Pictures scanned from Epson 700 photoscanner to i Photo looks fine in iPhoto. No problem editing in IPhoto, but the rotated pictures came out blank after they have been exported. The original picture is exported okay. I have tried all the repair options in iPhoto to no success.
Any suggestion how to fix the blank pictures or do I have to scann them all again?

Still I have to scan every picture again
No you don't. You can change the colour profile to sRGB with a script. Search this forum. Old Toad has one that he created and you can download it.

HT201077 Is there a way to delete files locally, on iPad, after they have been backed up in iCloud, without losing any files?

Is there a way to delete files locally, on iPad, after they have been backed up in iCloud, without losing any files? Because iCloud is seeming like it actually doesn't back up anything.. Just clogs up all storage space on every device with duplicate images/videos. I am looking for a delete when backed up feature. Does that exist?

You and Murray have both alluded to a separate "testing"

I can not believe that I am the only person in the world that has a

Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
Quicklook works fine.
Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.

Why are e-mails (subject line) and ("to" line) still staying in bold print after they have been read?

After I read an e-mail, and after I hit the back space arrow, to look at my list of e-mails, the previously read e-mail still shows up in bold type. Usually when an e-mail is read, and you then look at your list of e-mails, the e-mails that have been read show up in light grey type so you can distinguish these e-mails from the ones that have not been read. Why is this happening? It is very difficult to remember which ones I have read when I am looking at over 100 unread e-mails.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== yesterday

Firefox is not an email program, so your problem depends on what site you are using for email. What site are you using?

HT201302 If i delete photos on my iphone after they have been downloaded to my mac will they be sync and delete on my computer??? Silly question??? HELP ; )

I have connected my iphone to my mac and my photos have been transfered.... The option to delete my photos on my phone has come up....If i go ahead and delete the photos on my phone will my photos on my ipad be deleted? I guess my question is will i loose those photos in any way when i delete them from my iphone? Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by "backed to your Mac." If you have just done a backup of the phone to the Mac via iTunes, then you should NOT delete them from your phone since the only way you would be able to access the photos would be by doing a complete restore of the backup to the phone and that would wipe out anything more current on the phone.
If you copied the photos to your Mac via a USB cord as described in Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support then you can safely delete the photos from the phone. Note that you should be sure to have a good backup plan in place for your Mac so that if something were to happen to it you wouldn't lose the photos.
If the photos were sent to iPhoto via Photo Stream you can delete them from the phone if you are certain that the photos have been copied from the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto into the Library - Events section of iPhoto. That can be done manually or you can open iPhoto and go to the menu named iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > and insure that there is a checkmark in front of Automatic Import.

My voice mail messages are not appearing as they are left. Often no voicemails show up until 4 weeks after they have been left

I am having trouble with my voice mail on the iPhone. The voicemails are not appearing until 3 even 4 weeks after they are left by a caller. Last night 10 voice messages came through all at once, one left before Thanksgiving. Is this an iPhone issue or an issue with the carrier?

I'm having the same issue. It began three or four days ago. I'd notice that I'd miss a call but the person wouldn't leave a message.
Two days later, suddenly three or four new voicemails will pop up from the past couple of days. The time stamp on the messages is correct-- it will show that the caller left the vmail a day or two before.
Also, in what has to be a related problem, some of the voicemails appear to be corrupted and cannot be played.
I have a 4s and my software is up-to-date. I have made no material changes to my phone, other than automatic software updates to explain this.
It's enormously frustrating and as a job seeker, I can't afford to miss voicemails. Does anyone know if this is the phone or the carrier (AT&T)?
Any help and input will be enormously appreciated.

Removing syslog entries after they have been buffered

Hi,
Is there a way of deleting specific lines of syslog entries from the buffer after the syslog entries have been buffered on the router? Is it done using the xml keyword after the show logging command?
Thanks.

HT4528 How do I recover pictures after they have been deleted from iPhone 5???

These are pictures that have been deleted the same day that they were taken!!!! And I didn't have a chance to back them up on iTunes or the iCloud.

You can solve this problem by this method.
You may need a third party easy iPhone pictures recovery tool to recover your pictures.
http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/iphone-recovery-resource.html
This tool can help you to recover the lost pictures directly from your iPhone. Please have a try.
If it works, try to pay for it to get the full recovery feature.

Printing Purchase Orders after they have been created using BAPI_PO_CREATE1

Hi
We have a requirement to develop a Z program to to alloow certain users to create and print "special" dummy Purchase Orders (PO).
Using BAPI_PO_CREATE1 I have been able to create the PO no problem. But how on earth do you get them to physically print out ?
BAPI_PO_CREATE1 is meant to be an alternative to ME21N. In ME21N you can create a "PO message" which is actually a print output of the PO) and have it sent to the spool, depending on config. However, you can't use BDC with ME21N.
I expected the BAPI to have some sort of table/structure to pass print parameters that emulated ME21N's PO message, but there is none.
Anybody done this ?
cheers Hugh

Well, if you had your PO output configured to print immediately when the PO is created, then the BAPI call would result in a printout.
But if you don't want to always print a PO when a new document is created, you could set up a new output type for 'print immediately' and then attach a condition in the output configuration that checks if a certain criterion is met (so for instance if the PO was created via the BAPI), and only if this condition is met would the processing continue.
That way, you could keep the current PO output process (on request only), and have a conditional output that'd only be processed for POs created by the BAPI.

After preferences have been opened and closed, instead of folding back into the menu bar a grey square stays in the far left hand corner of my screen. This is then replicated on every screen. I can't seem to solve this, any ideas?

After using the preference pane, it does not fold away back into the finder bar but leaves a grey square in the top left corner of the screen. When I switch to another screen within spaces, the grey square still appears.

I have the exact same problem.. I tried disabling all add-ons and I'm only using the default theme... still no change. Whenever I close the preferences window it becomes an obtrusive grey square in the top left corner of the screen. It even obscures other open applications and won't disappear until I quit Firefox...

I had, until today, quite a lot of tabs open in firefox. Now I have none. What the hell happened? How do I get them back? History wont help because some have been open a for some time.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
