Apps are requiring restarts to run on a MBP...

I just purchased my first intel mac- 15" MPB. As a longtime powerpc mac user, I'm a bit frustrated. Multiple times a day I go to launch apps only to have the icon bounce once and then refuse to start. I end up having to do a full restart to get them to run. I've run multiple perm. repairs and the like. Nothing seems to work. I'm rather frustrated and find myself wanting to go back to a PPC machine. Any suggestions from the good people of the forum?
Thanks
Mac book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

This usually happens because the application has corrupt preferences, cache, fonts, or permissions. See also if checking off the Open in Rosetta in the Get Info box of the said application works better. To get to the Get Info box, click once on the application in the Finder and select Get Info in the File menu.
To repair permissions go to Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility, select the hard drive, and repair permissions
When it comes it comes to the other issues, sometimes reinstalling the combo update and repairing permissions again works better. The combo update for 10.4.7 is found here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1047combointel.html
If that doesn't work, creating a user account in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts and logging into it, will help determine if the corruption is with a user level file, or a system level file. Let us know if you get to this stage and find whether it is user or system level.

Iphone mail app regularly requires restart to get mail flowing???

Anyone seeing this issue? Advice re how to fix?
My iphone mail app regularly requires restart to get mail flowing. That is it is running (doesn't crash) but will at time just stop getting email updates. I then have to force close the mail app (i.e. kill it) and then restart it. After restarting it the mail flows again.
Notes:
a) I do connect to Gmail for my mail - I'm using the IMAP facility for gmail currently (i.e. not the "Exchange" method)
b) I do also have the Google "Gmail" app running on my device too
c) on iPhone 3GS, latest version of IOS

I have this same problem too. I have both a hotmail and work Microsoft Exchange account setup on my iPhone and have intermitent issues with both. Sometimes the hotmail push works, but my work email doesn't push, other times it's backwards, and sometimes neither work. I can't figure it out. Usually restarting the app (closing out of the multitasking bar), and/or going into settings and disabling the affected mail account works. And to top it, I have an iPad, I'll hear the mail chime go off on my iPad, expecting it to go off on my phone....and it never does, not until I manually fetch it.
Very frustrating.

Can you see which apps are open and/or running like you can on an android phone by going to settings applications running services?

can you see which apps are open and/or running (like you can on an android phone by going to settings>applications>running services)?

Hi wjosten,
thank you for the help. I should have said I had a iphone 3. A friend has the same phone and she showed me how she can see what web pages are open when she double taps the home button. Mine is set to bring up favourites when I double tap (chosen from settings>general>home button).. BUT my choices are only HOME; SEARCH; PHONE FAVORITES; CAMERA or IPOD. I changed my choice to HOME but that just defeats the purpose as when I am at the home page and double tap nothing happens. Am I making sense?

What kind of computer specs are required to smoothly run CS5 and future versions?

Hello,
I'm in search of a new laptop for running CS5. I checked the Adobe site for system specs (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/tech-specs.html) and they look ridiculous -- I stopped reading at 1 GB RAM...
So my question is what should the system be like in order to smoothly run CS5 and the future versions CS6 and maybe even 7? I read that there have been problems with i7 processors. Is it true?
This far I have found:
- nVidia Quadro graphics card (are there different versions of this? how much memory the card should have?)
- 64bit Windows 7
- memory? how much is sufficient? 6 GB? Memory type/speed specs?
- processor? i5 or i7 or some else? (I'm in search of a laptop)
- SSD HD drive or 7200 rpm HD?
Our company laptop brand is Dell and I tried to look for a suitable model. However, very few had the nVidia Quadro graphics card
Usage:
The laptops are mostly used for website and DTP publishing, photo editing, drawing (=Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) but also for technical documentation (Framemaker). To some extent also video editing is done, but not yet very often. However, there are plans for this too. We also run MS SQL Express in some computers to run company-specific software. And of course the normal Office 2010 package. Virus scanner used is McAfee.

Hello,
I too agree with the points Mylenium stated. We have discussed about multiple computers (desktop & laptop), but people don't like the mess it would cause in terms of file syncronization etc. And it would also mean double effort for the IT to maintain all the software updates etc. in that many computers. We do work quite a lot in meetings etc. and work and collaborate directly with using these programs. So it would mean double work to first make notes in a meeting and then do work in another computer according to the notes. So the decision of using a good laptop is not random but thought.
Our current laptops were selected in the CS2 era and they have survived well updates up to CS4. I haven't yet tested what CS5.5 would do in terms of performance and usability. The idea of changing and configuring a computer every year according to the latest models and software requirements does not sound good. That's why I stated the point that the computer to be selected should survive at least a few CS updates.
SSDs. I don't see them pricely at all. We've changed SSDs to the current laptops and they increased their lifetime by at least two years. Incredible increase in speed! I really do recommend SSDs and would not even consider using mechanical drives anymore. In general I don't see the price of the laptop as problem -- it costs a lot more to configure and install the computer than the price of the computer. And if the computer is slow and/or needs to be changed often to a new model, it costs even more in lost employee performance.
So conclusion up to now:
- Win 7 64 bit
- 8 GB memory
- SSD drive
- min i5 processor
- Graphics card? Mobile Quadro NVS 3100M?
So the current computer model could be:
Dell E6410
- Intel Core™ i7-640M
- NVIDIA® NVS 3100M 512MB gDDR3
- 14.1” WXGA+ LED Display (1440x900)
- 8 GB dual channel DDR3 memory, 1 333 MHZ
- 128 GB SSD

Question: What Lenovo drivers are required to make Win 7 work on a T400s?

I'm looking to upgrade my T400s to Win 7 RTM, and I want to check which Lenovo drivers / apps are required. Based on this forum plus the Lenovo Win 7 Beta site (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=WIN7-BETA), I think I need:
System Interface Driver
Hotkey Features
Power Manager
Either UltraNav Driver or UltraNav Driver 2 -- how do I tell which one of these I need?
UltraNav Utility
Lenovo Fingerprint Software UPEK
ThinkVantage Active Protection System
ThinkVantage Access Connections -- Optional
WLAN Intel Echo Peak ??
Questions:
Did I miss anything or do I not need any of the above?
Any problems running Win 7 64 bit?
Is the above order correct? I thought I saw a thread showing the install order a while back, but I cannot find it now.
Any problem using the Lenovo System Toolbox for Vista?
Thanks!

I am running Lion and trying to reinstall iLife06. I get a message "You can't open the application iLife06.mpkg because PowerPC apps are no longer supported." But my disk says it requires an PPC OR intel Core processor?

I spent ages digging out the disc as it was installed on my old iMac and it clearly states that it does not require a Power PC.
I also tried upgrading to imovie 11 but all my old movies won't import.
I've heard from others in these forums that iMovie 6 is the only way to resolve this and people have described how they are running it on Lion.
So how can I get iMovie 6 to run?

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)
You will find that the above applies to any PPC-only software including old iLife. You can purchase the new iLife versions on the App Store.

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this

I tried to build the application using javafx ant build, generated jar file. But when I run the jar file, issue:
Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application.
The javafx-class-path: libs/h2.jar libs/jfxrt.jar libs/log4j.jar
Running the JAR file using:
java -jar app.jar
What could it be?

Which version of iTunes?
When you go to Programs control panel you can see as well as uninstall the current version.
I always uninstall Bonjour, MobileMe etc and itunes will ask if I want to reinstall those (no thanks).
itunes and many apps keep an installer cache so they can do a repair-reinstall without a full install again.
I'd install Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 which is free and excellent.
Programs don't affect data. But if you don't have backups, you are likely past due.
If you have any doubts about the integrity of your system, if you have had to do a hard power down and likely do have issues, you should / could / might want to do chkdsk on your hard drive (hard drive properties tools scan for errors).

Apps are restarting when they were closed prior to shutdown.

I am running an iMac 13.1. The system is super fast - especially after installing Mavericks. My issue is related to startup when apps are automatically start up even though I closed them prior to shutdown and I have unchecked the box that will restart open apps in the shutdown window.
If I wait 15 to 20 seconds after closing all apps prior to shutdown I have no issue when I restart my iMac. But it seems like the queue that keeps track of apps that are/were running is not being flushed completely if I shutdown my computer with a few seconds after closing the last app. Not saying that this a big issue but it does seem like there is a delay in clearing the app queue on faster Macs.
Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

After upgrade to EMET v4.1 and reboot EMET_Agent didn't self-restarted but now double clicking its icon shows error "Admin privileges are required"

Hello all,
after on my Windows XP SP3 test client I upgraded to EMET v4.1 (from v4.0) and rebooted I noticed the following:
- EMET_Agent didn't self-restarted so I had to run it manually (and I noticed that after it started it also self-added an undocumented --NoRestart command line option),
- now that its icon is already in SysTray (Notification Area) the error "Admin privileges are required" appears whenever I double click on it or select 'Open EMET', so in case of need I can run EMET_GUI.exe only manually.
Is all this normal and expected or there can be any other possibly known way to avoid or definitely fix both effects ?
P.S. If to better show effects also providing any bitmap should be needed, then please just let me know.
Thanks in advance for any helpful reply or suggestion. Regards.
Rob

Hello everyone again,
I'm updating this post to ensure anyone interested may know how to definitely solve this issue.
After verifying that same annoying issue was also found with EMET 4.1 update 1 (valid for its 1st 4/30/2014 release, and verified also with
current and latest 5/29/2014 version) I recently made some little more investigation and after noticing its weird command line (reported by Process Explorer) simply as :
--NoRestart
I simply ensured to manually force same option to be properly set at startup, and that's it. :-D
So here you are quick updated versions of :
- EMET41NotificationFix.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"EMET Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\EMET 4.1\\EMET_Agent.exe\" --NoRestart"
- EMET41upd1NotificationFix.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"EMET 4.1 Update 1 Agent"="\"C:\\Program Files\\EMET 4.1\\EMET_Agent.exe\" --NoRestart"
I hope this helps (and if it does then please be kind and vote this post as useful... ;-) ) while to some forum moderator I'm asking to kindly mark this post as Answer.
P.S. It's just a pity that latest current version of EMET 4.1.1 (aka 4.1 update 1) cannot easily install over its 1st release (its setup suggest to 1st remove existing version), anyway I've found a tricky (hacked) way to overcome this limitation while also
avoiding reboot so in future I'll consider to share it publicly in a different discussion.
Regards
Rob

How can I see what apps are running on my iphone 5?

Is there an app that will show me the apps running and also allow me to close apps that don't need to be running?

Double tap the Home button, this brings up the Multi-Tasking bar. Any app running in the backgroud will be listed. Tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle. Tap the red minus sign to remove the app from the Multi-Tasking bar.
Note: very few apps are actually running in the background...they must be designed to do so. Almost all apps listed will not be running, but rather in their last used state.

Apps are requiring restarts to run on a MBP...
