Back up won't run

My Time Machine backup won't run. When I connect the external hard drive (which has 1.25TB of free space), the little "clock" icon on the top bar changes (a little triangle appears at the end of the arrow) but back up does not occur. I haven't backed up in 2-3 weeks.
Thanks.

Maverick - which I updated to immediately before this problem developed. It was suggested that I re-install OS-Maverick. What do you think?

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

Action steps that won't run correctly in PSE 7/8/9 (but did in 4 and 6)

I have a wonderful action that was written to work in PSE 3/4/6. It won't run in PSE 7/8/9. After fooling around for a while, I think I understand why. Adobe changed the way Adjustment Layers are handled. In earlier versions of Photoshop and Elements, Adjustment Layers threw up a modal dialog box. That changed so that Adjustment Layers now appear in the Palette Bin as a palette.
Here a sample of some of the action steps that won't work correctly:
Make adjustment layer
Using: adjustment layer
Type: levels
Set Selection
To: none
Set current layer
To: layer
Name: “Adjustment 1”
Set current layer
To: layer
Mode: luminosity
Stop
Message: “Move gray slider left”
With Continue
Set current adjustment layer
To: levels
In earlier versions of PS and PSE, the way these steps would work is that a new adjustment layer would be created, the dialog box giving the instruction would open, it would be dismissed by clicking "Continue," and then the "Set current adjustment layer to: Levels" would generate a model adjustment layer dialog box would open up which would let one make the adjustment.
In newer versions, since Adjustment Layers are handled in the Palette Bin, after dismissing the instructions, the action doesn't stop to allow the user to make change the sliders on the adjustment layer.
The action runs perfectly in CS4 and CS5 and throws up the levels adjustment modal box as it did in PSE 4 and PSE 6, but the action doesn't throw the modal box in PSE 7/8/9
Does anyone know of a way to alter the action steps to allow the action to stop to allow the adjustment and then to resume again?

Adding a new levels adjustment layer on top of the Midtone contrast layer
should work, just use a clipping mask to restrict the adjustments to the
areas of the levels adjustment layer below. The histogram will be different, but
actually testing the action is really the only way to know if that makes any difference.
Replacing the levels adjustment layer is another option, though it requires a few more steps.
The following assumes when the action gets to this point,
the Midtone contrast adjustment layer is the active (selected) layer.
To record this part of the action:
1. Duplicate current channel (in the channels panel. drag the Midtone contrast mask
    down to the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the channels panel)
2. Ctrl+click on the newly created channel (Midtone contrast mask copy)
    This loads the selection of that channel.
3. Drag the new channel (midtone contrast mask copy) to the trash icon at the bottom
   of the channels panel.
4. Back in the layers panel, delete the Midtone Contrast adjustment layer.
5. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
    This creates a new levels adjustment layer using the selection loaded from
    the duplicated channel and opens the levels dialog.
To load the RGB (composite) as a selection, Ctrl+click on the rgb in the channels panel
and the same is true for the red, green and blue channels.
With layer masks, elements doesn't seem to want to load them as selections in actions,
so that's the reason for the action steps above.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart the computer to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

The latest Firefox won't run with Mac OS 10.4.11. How can I get the previous version of Firefox?

I have Firefox 12.0. It won't run with Mac OS 10.4.11. I do not want to have to buy a new computer right now. I would like to go back to a previous version of Firefox that will run with my operating system. How can I download an older version of Firefox?

You can find the latest Firefox 3.6.x release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

I'm not buying Lion because it won't run Quicken

This is one of those frustrating OS conversion problems.
Quicken 2007 won't run on OS X Lion. Intuit does not seem to have anything in the works to make Quicken work in the new OS.
The dilemma is that Mac users EVENTUALLY will have to convert to Lion and its successors because other mission-critical apps we use will eventually not run in OS X 10.6.x. For Quicken users, the options seem to be :
1. Stay on OS X 10.6.x forever, but note the caution above about this not being a reasonable long-term solution.
2. Convert to Quicken Essentials. This won't work for me because Essentials is missing features of Quicken I consider "essential", e.g., handling securities transactions and portfolios.
3. Convert to one of Quicken's competitors such as iBank. I am testing iBank now. It successfully imported my large Quicken data file which I had exported as a .qif file from Quicken. I'm now auditing the results and they are more reasonable than I had expected. For example, the securities positions can be reconciled back to Quicken. There are issues I have not yet figured out. Such as how to capture years of bank reconciliation data for checking accounts.
But converting all the years of data and checking it all is going to take a lot of time.
Anyone have anymore info on this issue?
Thanks,
Rich

Adobe Photoshop CS6 won't run, problem with Application Manager

I've now got three Adobo Photoshop CS products on my MacBook Pro, the latest is CS6 which won't run.
I own Photoshop CS3, I just happen to install the CS5.x suite today, which runs during the trial period (30 day, today is day #1).
I then see that PSCS6 is out so I install that and get an error dialog.
Adobe Photoshop CS6
Adobe Application Manager, required to verify your license, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
I go to that URL, run the new application manager and get that same dialog box when I try to run CS6.
When I did the CS6b install it asked for my Adobe ID/password and I entered that and the install completed. So I'm not sure what's going on.

Hi, Using OSX Lion...was getting the same AAM errors.
I hope my "fix" is of help:
During one installation attempt I noticed that it was using an Adobe Application Manager here:
~User/Applications/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
It is version 6.0.236.0 and the installer deletes it after the install. The download page only has version 2.
So during my last install attempt, I grabbed a copy of that OOBE directory -- to catch the support files -- before deletion.
Did not work in user Applications folder, but when I copied it in the location of AAM 2, it works.
The full location is as follows (I renamed the original OOBE folder as a back-up):
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
Authorization works, and software update seems to...however, uninstall can't use this method.

Bridge won't run. Should I reinstall it?

1.I went to Windows>Workspace, and "Output" was not there.
2. I read at adobe.com help that I should check for updates and then download the "Output" workspace, then put it at the right extension.
3. I did that.
4. Now Bridge won't start.
It doesn't seem normal that adding a workspace should make this happen. At least I should get an error.

Thanks, station_two.
I'm using Photoshop 14.0 x64
I've downloaded and reinstalled whatever version of Bridge installs currently on CC.
Mac OS X version 10.7.5, 4gigs of memory, 250 free gigs of disk space.
I'm not receiving an error message.
The problem I have is that Bridge won't run. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, checked all of the updates. The way I'm trying to run it is by clicking on the icon under Launchpad. I tried another method: going into photoshop and clicking "Browse in Bridge," but that's not working. I tried using mini bridge. It says that it is waiting on Bridge, and the Bridge menu bar appears and disappears on a regular interval, and the icon appears and disappears on the same interval on the Dock.
This seems to have started when I tried using the instructions described here Install Adobe Output Module and here How do I navigate to the Application Support folder in Mac OS 10.7 and 10.8? to use the Output method for create a portfolio. I've tried going back and undoing those changes.

ITunes 7 won't run after reinstalled XP MediaCenter & reinstall iTunes7

We made backup copies of the iTunes folder on an external HD, then reinstalled WinXp MediaCenter (not full clean install) and moved iTunes files back from the external HD, then reinstalled new iTunes 7; however, it won't run now. When we click on the icon, it just says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience. If you are in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. We have created an error report that you can send to us." We've tried reinstalling iTunes many times. We've turned Antivirus & Wndows firewall off and on when installing, but no difference.
Anyone got any suggestions because my wife and 2 teenagers are lost without their iTunes and iPods.
Thanks,

Someone in a different forum said to be sure that iTunes is installed under the primary user with Administrator Privileges. I'm pretty sure I did that, but I'll try it again to see what happens.

Java applets won't run on Safari???

I have reinstalled Java twice, and it still won't run any Java applets. It just sits there with the cup logo and the arrow on either side. It works fine on Firefox but not Safari. Help?

Hello
I'm piggy backing on this thread because I too have had problems with Java and Safari
Java runs fine for me in Firefox, however.
I went to a federal website
https://blrscr3.egs-seg.gc.ca/gol-ged/gov/browserdetection/BrowserCheck.html
that uses java and received this message
" Java applet unable to load
To use this service, you must either install a recent version of the Sun JVM or enable "Scripting of Java applets" if it has been disabled."
so i looked for an update and have downloaded and installed release 6, (at least, it said that it was installed, but have never been able to figure out where)
when I check Java preferences, the choices are J2SE 1.4.2 or J2SE 5, and when I've switched to 1.4.2 I still have no luck.
When i run firefox, i get the java console opening, but it doesn't open with safari, and I can't find the option for this to turn on in safari
i have restarted both safari and my computer and no luck. I have repaired permissions and no changes have taken place.
Any more suggestions?
(thank you, by the way)

Activity Monitor Won't Run

Anyone else having this problem? Activity monitor will simply not run. It starts, then crashes...every time.

Me, too! Since upgrading to SL & then immediately to 10.6.2 a couple days ago.
Well, it won't run - it didn't crash, it just hung on startup. I tried repairing permissions and, after finding this thread, removed the plist file suggested, but no luck. I just realized I should check the log (Console), and found it was putting out this, over and over again:
12/13/09 11:28:47 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.ActivityMonitor[4828]) posix_spawn("/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/activitymonitord", ...): No such file or directory
And exiting, then retrying every 10 seconds.
I opened the Activity Monitor package to confirm that activitymonitord is there, but upon rereading the message I realized it's telling me Activity Monitor needs to be in the utilities folder - and I had moved it into a subdirectory (to declutter my Utilities folder). It always worked there in previous systems, but apparently SL's Activity Monitor has a hard-coded address built in.
I moved AM back to where Apple wants it and it immediately opened. Don't know if this helps anyone else, but I thought I'd put this out there in case it does . . .
(Yes, I know you "should" leave programs where Apple puts them and keep your files in your user folder, but I just like to do things my way whenever I can get away with it.)

Itouch downloaded applications won't run

I have an Itouch with the 2.1 operating system. I got it a month ago and everything ran fine. I downloaded several free applications on there and now suddenly, none of them work. Everything else works, its just when I try to run the applications, they start and just stop. They say they are free apps in the Apple store. My first thought was they were demo versions. I'm trying to run Paper Football Lite, Four Free, Astro Tilt, and others. Can anyone help me figure out why they won't run? Everything else runs fine.
Thanks!

I got an iPOD touch last week and have same problem. About 7 FREE apps, and 1 Paid for now bring up the splash screen and then it goes back to main screen - they just don't run. My touch sync fine with my authorized macintosh using my valid .MAC account, etc... Also, just upgraded the touch to 2.2 and no help.
Here's the strange thing... If I download another application - anything - all the applications start working again. I can't find a rhyme or reason, but after a few days they all stop working. I download another app - and they all work!
Anyone?

The new software - mozilla 6.0.2 won't run un my dekstop

i just downloaded the latest version of mozilla, 6.0.2.
however, when i try to run, after extracting, this software won't run everytime i use my name.
however, if i use administrator name, it asking the password that i did'ny receive in downloading this software.
how come..??

It appears to be in both. The one on my external hard drive is a bigger file than the one on my local hard drive.
Just confirming but this file will have an iTunes icon and not an XML icon, right?
This time, I closed iTunes and dragged the iTunes Library icon from my hard drive to the external drive and it overwrote the one on my external drive. I reopened iTunes and my library was still not showing up. Do I also delete the ones from my local drive?
At this point, I am willing to do a fresh install of iTunes just to get back to square 1 and try things again. Please let me know if there are any other things I can try.
Thanks again for your help.

Audition CS6 won't run anymore

My version of CS6 used to run perfectly until I used Malwarebytes, which removed amtlib.dll
Now it won't run at all, even though I've put amtlib.dll back. I keep on getting the 0xc000007b error, and I can't uninstall the program at all. What do I do to fix this problem? It's extremely frustrating. Nothing I have done has fixed this, and I've tried many times to remove it, such as command prompt, the windows uninstaller (it doesn't show up), and multiple programs such as ccleaner.

If Ryclark's suggestion still doesn't work I would strongly recommend finding and downloading the free version of Revo Uninstaller, from Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall probl… The Pro version can be used for 30 days as a trial; speaking personally I think it's well worth the money! The Portable version is especially useful to keep on a pen drive; you can then use it on any computer.
I've needed to use it on more than one occasion when faced with similar problems (a program that is now "corrupted" but cannot be uninstalled by any standard method). If Audition is not listed as installed when you run Revo, use the Forced Uninstall mode and simply point it to the folder where AA currently is.
One word of caution: Revo Pro creates a full back of your registry etc., before beginning the uninstall routine. I don't think the free version does, so do create a System restore point before running it.

Action Set renamed - Now actions won't run

I had a set of actions named "Kevin's Actions" to "Kevin's Actions CS5" (I have both CS5 and CS3 installed.
However, when I tried to run actions that had references to an action entitled "Kevin's Actions" it wouldn't run. Seeing the problem I tried simply dropped the CS5 and renamed the action set BACK to the original "Kevin's Actions".
THE PROBLEM: The actions still won't run.
Is there a way to get them running again? I really don't wan to have to re-creating them ....????
Thank,
Kevin

Hi guys,
Below are screen shots of the first action in the set, the First action it calls out and the error message I am receive. I checked spelling, spacing and capitalization and it all seems clean to me???? You'll probably have to enlarge these to see properly:
