Bootcachecontrol:unable to open...

Hi,
My Macbook pro won't start, it just shows the apple logo and the spinning gear. When I tried to boot in safe mode, tha last two lines read: "
Bootcachecontrol: unable to open/var/db/bootcache.playlist:2 no such file or directory
Launchctl: dubious file. Not of type .plist (skipping): /system/library/launchDaemons/com.apple.installer.osmessagetracing.plist~orig "
Can anybody please tell me what's wrong and/or how to fix this please??
Thanks.

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

TS2570 Still cant access my computer, followed instructions to perform a safe boot and last line of script it shows: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /Var/db/BootCache.playlist:2 No such file or directory. Any idea?

Brand new Mac Book Pro
Purchased in Mexico's Department store Liverpool on June 20th 2012
Purchased Memory upgade to 8Gb, on june 27th, at Apple Store Memorial City, Houston
Upgraded memory from 4Gb to 8Gb on June 28th.
Tried to write on my external HD (previously written on a windows based PC) with no success.
Upon reccomendation from a Mac assistant, copied all my external HD contents into my Mac Hard drive.
Then formatted my external HD and copied back all my information to it.
deleted all the information from my MacBook Pro HD.
Attempted to repeat the same operation with another external HD, but got a message saying there was not enough epace on the computer HD (even though I have a 750Gb Hard Drive.
Looked in the trash bin and there it was, all the information previously deleted..
Could not empty the trash bin, although I got a message asking me to safely delete all the information from the trash bin,
Could not get enough space released, after several attpempts the trash bin was finally emptied.
All happy getting acquainted with my new MacBook Pro. Two days later, got a gray screen and not able to start the computer.
Looking in to Mac support I found article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and followed instructions to perform a safe boot:
"Perform a Safe Boot
Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to
see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
The following is the script that appears on the screen upon safe boot. and halt after the last line.

Help: upon safe boot, got following message: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /Var/db/BootCache.playlist:2 No such file or directory

Mac Book Pro, late 2011. Purchased in a department store in Mexico.
Was running ok for several days after I purchased it.
Had some software installed and memory upgraded from 4 to 8Gb.
Suddenly at start up, got a gray screen with a spinning wheel and never boot.
Followed advise from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and performed a safe boot. (hold Shift-Command-V during startup instead of just Shift).
The boot sequence starts then stops and nothing happens. these are the last lines of the boot sequence.

Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select your startup volume, and run Repair Permissions. Then reboot as usual.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop. I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG. Is there a way to use

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?

The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Some options:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3
Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC

I am unable to open Icloud on my PC with Windows 7 but have it installed

I am unable to open Icloud on my PC with Windows 7 but have it on my Iphone & Ipad working OK
Please help

The menu selection only shows the other options if you already have a selection active; a selection made with one of the available tools like lasso or quick selection. First select with the tools, then use the menu 'Select'.

I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 and I am unable to open iTunes on my phone - the screen just never loads.

I installed iOS7 on my iPhone5 and now I am unable to open iTunes - the screen just stays blank.
I have checked date and time and wifi settings.
Not sure what else to do.
I do have iMatch active on my device and its working fine on my other iPohne with iOS7 installed.
Any help please!

Have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in ? If it's still the same after that then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Unable to open Apple application

Last week, I did the most current software updates. Ever since then, I have been unable to open certain Apple programs such as iChat, Skype, Preview, Pages, Photo Booth, etc. I have tried to download AIM, but the computer says it isn't supported. Also, now when I try to open Photo Booth, it says my graphics card doesn't support it, but I have never changed the card from the one the computer came with. The programs will open up, and then immediately quit, and I am left with "The application _____ quit unexpectedly" message. No matter how many times I relaunch and reset, ignore, or report, I can't get them to open. I'm in college and really have no way to get to a Genius Bar for a few more weeks, and I don't have the Leopard disk with me. Is there any way I can fix this on my own? Thanks!

I think it was the repair disk permission that actually worked for me. I tried it once and got no result, and then tried to download the updater. For whatever reason, I couldn't even download that. So I went back and did the disk permission repair again. It still didn't seem to work, so I just turned the computer off out of frustration. When I turned it back on, it was all fixed. So I'm not entirely sure what it was that fixed it...all I know is it works now!

Error unable to open script file

I have been using DW8 since it came out. I am running Windows 7. Everything was working fine until I had hard drive failure. Replaced hard drive reinstalled Windows and DW8. Now when I try to insert an image I get the message "unable to open java script file c:\program files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\configuration\objects\common\AccessibleImage.js (error 2)".
I have done the usual--rename config file--reinstall DW8--clean register and reinstall--run as admin.--run in compatibility with XP SP2, etc. but nothing works.
Help would be invaluable to me.

ERROR: Unable to open TUXCONFIG file

Hi,
I installed and installed the following software successfully on Windows XP
Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.1) Microsoft Windows
PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools 8.50
PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Management System 9.1 - Revision 2
Tuxedo 10gR3 for MS Windows Server 2003 w/MS VS 2005 (32-bit x86, AMD64/EM64T x64) 32-bit
i am at the point of installing the Application Server. Domain created sucessfully but i got boot errors as shown below.
I searched for the TUXCONFIG file but could not find it in the tuxedo installation folder.
I read that i have to create the TUXCONFIG,if missing, using tmloadcf.exe and the ubbconfig file, but the only UBBCONFIG file is located in "\samples\atmi\rpcsimp\" folder.
How do i create the TUXCONFIG file?
Did i miss something with the installation? What location should this file exist after your tuxedo installation?
thanks

Hi
The TUXCONFIG file normally is created automatically when you create your domain.
In this case I think you ran into trouble because the path of installation is too long!
Note the error in your log:
115818.SU1491!PSWATCHSRV.5832.6140.-2: LIBTUX_CAT:1519: ERROR: TUXCONFIG value (C:\Documents and Settings\klondon\psft\pt\8.50\appserv\hrms\PSTUXCFG) is longer than the allowed length of 64
Your path is 69 chars long!
I would suggest that you re-try the configuration with a shorter tuxedo and PS_HOME: perhaps in the root directory (c:\PSHOME)
In the past I've also noticed that installations have problems with paths that have spaces - ex: 'Documents and settings' , so I would avoid that as well.

ERROR: Unable to open structapps file!

Hello,
Having modified the structapps.fm in FM10, I am getting the following error within a dialog when attempting to use the same file in FM8:
ERROR: Unable to open structapps file! FA_errno -43
Is FM not backward compatible ? OR do I need to reread the file in FM8
Thanks

The file should be saved in the FM version that you're using it in. You can't use any newer FM version file in any older version of FM, e.g. FM8 can't open any FM10 files (except for the MIF formats).
