Cant use downloaded programs since re-install

my macbook pro recently crashed
all i could get was a spinning wheel when i turned it on so i had to reinstall from the disc that it came with.
i am now only able to log in a root however all the old user files and folders are still available under user-dan but there is no way to log in as that user.
anyway since the re-install i have not been able to get VLC or neo office or any other similarly downloaded propgrams to open.
whenever i double click to open these apps the screen flashes as though the page is opening but then nothing happens orininally i thought it was just a vlc thing
but since installing neo office so i could read powerpoints i have found the same issue.
i have no idea why this is happening or what i can do from this point so any advice would be helpful.
thankyou

I use Symbaloo but since I installed FF4 I get no connection when I choose a radiostation ( i.e. no sound ). Wrong settings?

Each has a p/w but it is input only once at when I set it up. I get no prompts for p/w since they are in prefs. Is this safe?
Yes, as long as the wireless network required you to enter a password the first time that you connected.

It sounds like your application is dependent on the Internet Explorer for Windows.
Internet Explorer for Mac is not only discontinued, but never bore any resemblance to the Windows version - apart from in name.
A lot of proprietary corporate software is dependent on a PC running Windows and Internet Explorer, and it seems like your application falls into this category.
Unfortunately, on your present machine, it seems that Virtual PC is your only choice.

Cant use downloaded stuff from ipad which is now on my imac :/

I downloaded a good amount of stuff on itunes on my ipad and i sync them to my computer imac but they have downloaded but i cant use them they wont play ? :/

Do you both share the same Apple ID? Are you using iTunes on the PC to sync your phone?

Still cant use my itunes since i dont rember the answer to my security questions

BEen teying to change my answer to the security question still fail to do so. Till dates i cant use my itunes to buy anything. Such a waste. did try to change but fail to do so. Need help

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I am trying to activate an older copy of PhotoshopCS. On a chat I was told to download CS2 which I did. It won't open or instal and I don't know what to try next??l. I get a notice that says I only have 14 more days to use the product since I installed it

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to activate PhotoshopCS that I am trying to install on a my new computer?

I now have downloaded the .exe file. I now have it and my old copy of Photoshop in my programs. I am assuming I should uninstall the old copy? I thought I was just downloading an update to the old copy but I now have a new icon with a green/blue feather icon. The oldcopy has the rainbowed feather icon. Do you agree that I should uninstall the old copy? Thanks, morganne

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I have tried to just install the new version of itunes from the apple website, it looks like it downloads but after 5 minutes at the end of the install it says 'old version of itunes cannot be uninstalled, please contact support.'?
Is there anyway I can remove the version of itunes from my computer? i dont mind if i lose the music/content I already have on my itunes. I need to do this as i have just received the iphone 4 and need to install the newest version of itunes.
Many thanks

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Is there a solution?

Found the answer. I wasted a bunch of time trying a whole bunch of different things like changing my security settings to allow apps from Everyone, turning off my firewall, downloading a newer Java, etc.
I finally contacted Printmaster support and they said that Printmaster 2012 Platinum (and ALL VERSIONS of Printmaster other than their newest one) will simply not work with Yosemite. Even their newest one (called Printmaster V6 Platinum) won't work unless you download a fix. Here is the entire response that they sent me. I've had Printmaster 2012 Platinum for several years so it will cost me $10 and some effort (calling them AND sending an email with a photo of the box and disc...and then paying them) to get a version that will work.
"Thank you for contacting Customer Support.
Unfortunately with the release of Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite PrintMaster is experiencing issues with this new operating system. We have created an update for PrintMaster v6 Platinum our current release of PrintMaster.

Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).
