Apps wont start with lion

Hi
Can anyone help? Ever since I have installed Mountain Lion my Mini Mac starts up with a black screen and it runs through a set of diagnostics, I then have to type in the root mode EXIT for the mac to start up. Not only that it states that it has cleard a whole load of abundant files and then I can continue.
Second problem, I cant get hardly any of the Apps to start up...Like Pages, Numbers itunes does sometimes.
My Mac is at an abundant state...Help!

After installing Mountain Lion, my iTunes app wont start, why ???

After installing Mountain Lion, my iTunes app wont start, why ??? It bounces in the dock, then "Unexpectedly Quirs"

Let's keep it simple...
1) Make a new user - the steps are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199
2) Log into that user, open iTunes, agree, etc. - it will probably work
3) If it does, it tells us that iTunes (the program) is fine but it's encountering something unexpected
4) Go back to your user, and try to open iTunes while holding option and making a new library - like suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
5) Your iTunes will be empty. This is ok. Your files are not touched by this process.
6) If iTunes doesn't quit when loading an empty library, you could try rebuilding the iTunes Library as Apple documents in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
7) If iTunes does quit, it could be trying to grab something - like photo information to sync to your iPad - and that's where it finds the unexpected data. Maybe try moving the iPod Photo Cache? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1324 should guide you for how to do that.
If you tell us whether it is library-specific, user-specific, or system-wide (happens in both users), we could maybe give you better advice on what's going on.'
If the new user has the same behavior, maybe remove the SC Info folder - there are not many system-wide files iTunes touches. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 covers how to remove that invisible folder.
iTunes uses /Applications/iTunes.app, /Users/Shared/SC Info, ~/Music/iTunes/ and ~/Library/Preferences/ and a bunch of other files. I don't think focusing on /Applications/iTunes/app or other system-wide files is going to be as effective as knowing whether the issue is system-wide or user-specific.
I hope this helps and feel free to reply if this is all confusing.

My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down. I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up. I think this just started with Lion. My iPod and iPad have no trouble.

My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down. I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer. I think this just started with LION. My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

Thank you BGreg. That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine. I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion. I may be incorrect about that. I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help. Not so. Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem. I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts. Nothing Improves. It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

Mail app always starts with the standard account.

iPhone 5s
iOS 7.1.2
Mail app always starts with the standard account.
Can´t it start in the mail overview, where all different mailboxes are shown.
iPhone 4 did it..
Opens in standard account:
Should open in MailBox-Overview: (here just one mailbox)
7.1.2

After some searching I have found a solution. I had to delete the contents of the following folder:
~/Library/Mail/myemailaccount/.OfflineCache/
Note: replace "myemailaccount" with the appropriate folder on your computer that represents your e-mail account. Once I deleted the contents of this folder (there were 2 files), and restarted Mail, there were no problems.
Hope this helps a few people in the future!

Howdy umaxmac,
As I understand it you have successfully reinstalled both Lion and Yosemite but you cannot get past this gray screen when you try to boot the computer. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting from the following article about gray screen issues, named:

Where do I find the interactive "Getting Started with Lion" video?

Hello from England.
Please be nice to me and talk in a language an OAP might understand.
I recently installed Lion on my MaBook. I did this in my lunch hour at work and took a tad longer than I anticipated. Anyway, after the shut down and re-start up popped an interactive "getting started with Lion" video which showed you all of the new touch gestures etc.
Anyway - as ym lunch hour was running out I closed my MacBook with the intention of watching this video later so I could learn all of the exciting and clever things.
Yes, you guessed it, throughout the day whilst I was busy, busy, busy working, not on a my mac ,but on my office PC (uk) the battery ran flat and I had to plug in and re-start again at home.
Did the "getting started on Lion" video pop up again? No. And for the life of me I can't find it anywhere. Not even trustworthy YouTube.
Can anybody tell me how I make this appear again pretty please?
First to reply gets a Scone and a Cup of Tea.
Thank you

Why am I being asked to authenticate for example when dragging a picture from an email to my desktop? Can this be turned off? It started with Lion

Why am I being asked to authenticate by entering my password when for example dragging a picture from an email to my desktop? This started with Lion. Is there a way to turn it off? Thanks,

I found that right clicking on my hard drive, Get Info and under Sharing & Permissions when the Privilege was changed to Read & Write, the authentication pop ups stopped and I could drag pictures to my desktop and save attachments there also. Now my hubby and I will investigate the Names under S&P. We know one is System, another is him sharing. There is a third that says everyone so it will be the main one we research. I get the basics of what they are - to secure folders etc. from someone getting into my computer. I'm sure this is a pretty basic description of the issue so I guess if you read this and try any of this to stop the authentication, you should make sure you know what and why.
Thanks for your help softwater.

Macbook pro wont start with 3 beeps

hi
Few months back I purchased a refurbished macbook pro (late 2012 model) with i7 processor and 8 GB ram. Now after 2 months I experienced problem with mac - it wont start with 3 beeps. I looked at different articles in net and found about no memory bank problem. I opened the back and changed slots and it seemed to fix the issue. However the issue was recurring few times and ram was changed. Again the issue seemed to have resurfaced. I tried with memtest in single user mode and RAM passes the tests.
What else could be the issue around the macbook pro. Do you suggest taking it to local Apple store to get it checked?
Thanks

Test each module installed alone while switching slots (power down before switching and remove battery.) Do both modules work alone in each slot? If they do, then it would appear the memory is good as are the slots. So, something else is at play and only an Apple Store has the equipment to go further - make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"

After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"
The system logs reads:
Mar 29 22:06:25 server servermgrd[82]: servermgr_web: Error Domain=XSServerFoundationErrorDomain Code=4 "Failed to read settings: Exception:

          undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass

To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect. That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

Apps wont start aftes sync with itunes

I have sync my iphone with 2 different itunes computers, and now none of my apps on the phone wont start, they crash after 2 sec.
Why ? and what do i do now ?
My iPhone have the latest software updates, and its a 3G model.

Thank you for so articulately describing your issue - the *exact* same thing has been ruining my experience for over a YEAR now. I have tried everything you've described and more - it's madness.
Download (and pay for) an app - only to have it disappear on syncs with iTunes.
I literally have to go into iTunes and manually one by one check mark the ones I want to keep on my various devices - and repeat the process for every device. It is as if the Only way to make sure an app syncs properly is to download all my apps on my desktop - through iTunes - sitting at a desk....
PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY.

Double click the Home button and quit the Facebook app. Then turn off your phone by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and wipe right to turn it off. Wait 10 seconds and turn it back on. See if this works, if it doesn't work delete the app from your phone and reinstall it.

Tuning Oracle APPS 11i Start with

Hi Hussain/Helios,
I am new to Oracle APPS, and am working oracle apps 11i 11.5.10.2 with 10.2.5.0, the database and application was upgraded by previous dba. which left almost 3-4 months before.
now my question is i want to have a performance tuning for Oracle apps environment, can you please suggest some key points for starting with and some good links for future usage.
Other thing is i have used find command on my linux box and found many log files which are greater than 1000K on apps tier (forms/reports/web), and similiarly db tier (db/admin/concurrent).
can i just remove all these logfiles using os (rm) command and is it feasible with production environment on running mode or is it not feasible and i should use some other ways/etc.

Please tell me what other Jobs i can schedule using OAM for weekend for All tiers in APPS.
I have been also asked to apply latest patches on PROD APPS/DB/* system, I can check using sql, which patches are applied, but how can i know which patches are required, (don't know about the licensed products with never ask policy here).

can you please suggest some key points for starting with and some good links for future usage.Please check below MOS doc:-
A Holistic Approach to Performance Tuning Oracle Applications Systems [ID 69565.1]
Configuring various JVM tuning parameters for Oracle E-Business suite 11i and R12 [ID 567551.1]
Tuning is something that require more analysis less action, first you need to answer:-
1) Why do you need tuning? is it proactive or some incident happend?
2) Where are you facing issues? i.e. which module, form, report or whole application.
3) Number of users facing issues? i.e. is it single user, user at one location or all users.
4) Has something changed in past that might have triggered this need?
Theri are various components involved in tuning that start from :-
1) user machine
2) network
3) Application tier.
4) Database tier.
Application tier can be further divided into:-
1) Apache server(JVM, modplsql, jserv etc etc
2) Form Server
3) Concurrent processing server
4) Discovered if using,
5) XML publisher..
and like wise other component using.
If you are looking to tune then i believe start from application tier first, pick one by one componets, like if your users are facing issues with login then use note that i have provided, if users are not satisifed with time taken to complete concurrent request then you might have to tune it and likewise.
can i just remove all these logfiles using os (rm) command and is it feasible with production environment on running mode or is it not feasible and i should use some other ways/etc.Do not rm files because it might be in use by some process and ti might then not be able to release space, its better to trim the file. do cat file >
Log file you have mentioned can be removed depedning upon your company policy if any.
Thanks,
JD

Screwed up the "fixed" font, and X wont start with

Hello everyone.
Somehow, after installing a font package (xserver-terminus-fonts), I somehow deleted the default font in X - "fixed", and now, X wont start.
I've tried to locate the file(s), but I haven't figured out where it is, what name it has, and reinstalling xorg hasn't helped either.
I'm out of ideas right now - how do I fix it?

Font 'fixed' is an alias that is usually defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias. I have this line in my fonts.alias:
fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
You can check that the specified font exists with xfontsel. If it doesn't, you can edit the line to point to an existing font.
It is also possible that the font package you installed has messed up some configuration files... :?
