Disc drive icon for downloaded applications doesn't go away

I have downloaded Chrome and Skype for my macbook, and when the applications have downloaded I copy it to my applications like it prompts you to, and delete/eject the disc icons. They go away at first, but once I try to open the new applications the same prompts and disc drives appear on my desktop. Do I have to keep doing this process over and over again? Please help!

DO you OPEN the disc image (.dmg) file and THEN copy the application(s) to your Application folder, or are you simply dragging the .dmg file to your Applications folder?

Creative Cloud, Download error doesn't go away (for a month now)

Hi everyone,
I got 'Download error' about a month ago (10.9.5, MBPr), after that I tried everything I could think of:
- permission steps from this topic Help | Download Error in Apps tab of Creative Cloud Desktop Application
- repairing permissions with Disk Utility and repairing ACL permissions with Reset Password utility
- setting a new user
- using root user
- updating certificates
- using safe mode
- using different internet connection
- probably something else
- I spent 9 hours on phone with different support team members while they were trying the same things by themself, nothing worked.
Yesterday I reinstalled the OS (10.10.2, clean install) and the issue disappeared, but in the evening I rebooted the computer and the issue appeared again.
The errors in console were mostly non informative apart from LBS.log which was saying that something is wrong with partitions/PIM certificates

I started to reinstall the OS again trying to find the app that was interfering with CC, but and a friend of mine suggested something I couldn't think of: first install CC app, then Wacom drivers (I'm using Cintiq 13HD) and then relaunch the CC app. I tried that (on a clean install) and CC app stopped working immediately.
So I'm thinking Wacom kext somehow interfering with CC.
So why am I writing this here and not on Wacom's forum? Well actually I wrote there too but the strange thing is that CC is the only app that is broken and I'm not sure whom to blame.
Currently the only solution I found was reinstalling the OS over existing one, and right now CC app works together with drivers, but I really hope this can be investigated.
I wonder if there's anyone with CC, OSX and Cintiq who's experiencing the same issue and/or maybe someone who can say what's going on and how another driver can interfere with other software permissions.
Thanks!

Based off this I would verify that you have sufficient disk space to write the files to the tmp directory. I would also recommend creating a new local administrator account and seeing if you continue to receive the same error. Details on how to set up a new local Administrator account can be found at Install or run Adobe applications in new user account | Mac OS X.

To create a desktop shortcut icon for the application for a jar file

Hi
I have created a jar file for my application. when i double click this jar file, the application opens.
What i want is--
Instead of user clicking on the jar file, my application also has to create a desktop shortcut icon.
If the user clicks on the icon which is on the desktop the application should open.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

>
Please suggest me.>Launch the application using java webstart. A webstart launch offers things like a splash screen, automatic updates, and desktop integration in the form of desktop shortcuts and program menu items. If the launch file specifies icons, they are used for the shortcuts, otherwise a generic icon is used.
For a comparison between a sandboxed webstart launch and a plain app., try the [Text Width Checker|http://pscode.org/twc/].
While the TWC can run OK within the security sandbox, many applications need to be digitally signed and request extended permissions, to do what they need to do.
STBC is an all-permissions webstart launch.
Edit 1:
And for one that definitely suggests desktop shortcuts (I usually avoid them, in favor of a menu item only), try the sandboxed [demo of the PrintService|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#prs], which prompts the user to choose.

The bar icon for downloading that appears next to "trash" and the "bootcamp" icon are gone.   How do I get them back?

This format confuses me.   I intended to simply ask a question but then this discussion window opened up and my question appears as though it were a topic.
Can we ask a question without beginning a discussion?   Then I am chided for trying to post a "blank message".   I am only asking a question.   What is all this talk of messages anyway?
My question is:   The icon next to "trash" that shows downloading is gone. The bootcamp icon is also gone.   How do I get them both back.
Thanks

Welcome,
If you are refering to the Dock Icon which showed you your Downloads folder then open a Finder Window on your Home folder and drag the Downloads folder to the dock. It will create an Icon for the folder.
Not sure about the Bootcamp icon, don;t use it but if there is a Bootcamp folder the procedure should be the same.
regards
BTW Starting a discussion is the same as asking a question.

I lost the icons for downloads and documents on doc bar

I lost the icons for the downloads and documents on doc bar. I read the other support answers and tried what they said still no luck. any answers?

If you mean they're on the dock but have the wrong icon, right click and select "display as folder".
If you mean that they aren't there at all, open a Finder window to your Home folder. Drag the documents folder to the right side of the dock. Do the same with the downloads folder.

Installer and icon for j9 application

Hello there!
I've done a j9 (personal profile for windows mobile) application and I wish to change the executable icon on the device. Additionally I'm in need of as installer for this application. Is it possible to build a cab file with both application and j9 to deploy on the taget device?
many thanks!

I would like to do exactly what you are describing, however I am not there yet since I just started the development of a Java on Pocket PC project.
I did see reference to a tool by IBM called JXE which seems to wrap up a java app in a native executable for Pocket PC
Check out their wirelss forum and you may find more details on this.

AKD driver slow for given application

Dear Sir
I am using kollmorgan servomotor and AKD Drive for my inverted pendulum project application. Also I am using Labview softmotion for programming( ni 9514 servo drive). But here the driver is taking the command only after first command is finished execution. For my application the motor has to be continously moved according to the instantaneous command(Angular reading from encoder). Please help me in disabling the existing function in AKD drive or an alternative method to solve this
in the attached word document this problem is demonstrated by doing a program of to and fro motion. i have also attached vi programs that used for balancing inverted pendulum
Thank You

My computer has been running very painfully slow for a while now. Is this because I need more RAM?
Yes. Here is a link to OWC, one of the best online retailers for Mac upgrades: http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=360&type=Memory
OWC only does Macs and will only sell you the parts that work on your specific machine. The link above shows memory upgrades for your specific model MacBook Pro.
However, the advice you were given above is incorrect. You would be wasting your money if you only bought 4 GB. Older machines upgraded to Yosemite need at least 8 GB. Buy the 8 GB kit from OWC. If you really want good performance, you should purchase an SSD to replace your hard drive. Since you are still using your original hard drive, you can purchase a smaller 240 GB SSD that will give you more space, much faster speed and is still quite inexpensive. The 2.5" hard drives that come with notebooks tend to fail after 2-3 years anyway. You are overdue for a hard drive failure.
I should caution you that there are other parts of your machine that could fail over time. There is a possibility that after upgrading your RAM and hard drive, your logic board could fail. Electrical components wear out over time. Your machine is 6 years old. You should seriously consider a new Mac.

Application Switcher: no icons for open applications.

After updating to OS 10.6, when I use the application switcher (command + tab) no icons appear for the applications I have already opened. I have only finder icon.

HI,

Drag that file form the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

Everyday I am being charged for downloading applications which I did not download

Hi,
For last three days I am being charged for downloading different applications. some of the applications I did not even see on my phone

If you believe that your account has been hacked, then change your password, let your credit card company know and ask them about reimbursement and let itunes support know that you may have been hacked.

Multiple Hard Drives: one for system & applications, one for backup

I am planning the upgrade of my hard drive setup. Presently, I have only the original 74.53 GB internal drive that came with my June 2004 G5 1.8 dual CPU. I have two goals for the upgrade. First, more hard drive space. Second, a drive for automatic backup. Since I am running OS 10.4.11 and not intending to upgrade to 10.5 at this time for application reasons, I will be using something like Carbon Copy Clone for the backup software (not Time Machine, which requires OS 10.5). My thinking, so far, is to install a 1 TB internal drive for system and another internal or external 1 TB drive for the backup. In perusing the discussions here, it looks like an external drive is always used for the backup. Is this true or would an internal drive work just as well for backup? I want the backup to be as free as possible from any corruption or problems that might arise on the system drive or other computer parts. Does the Firewire or USB connection of an external drive offer a greater amount of freedom from potential corruption as opposed to the direct SATA connection of an internal drive?
I realize that burnt DVD’s offer the greatest amount of freedom from corruption but one doesn’t burn a DVD hourly, daily, weekly or so on. Hopefully, if a problem arises my work underway is residing on the backup drive unaffected. I’m not sure how close in time this can be. I imagine this probably depends on the backup software used and how often the backup is run. I’m not yet fully aware of the options.
For the internal system drive is there any good reason to partition it? I f so, why, and in what way? Do the OS and applications need to reside on the same partition? If not (or better that they don’t), how should a 1 TB drive be partitioned?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on the best configuration of my hard drive upgrade.

1) The backup drive is best to be external (security from computer failure).
Yes. I am not sure about the "in some ways" my esteemed colleague qualifies.
2) The external backup drive should be connected by Firewire (ability to be bootable & greater speed).
Yes. Just beware that some of the Western Digital models have presented problems. Not the drives themselves but the enclosures. [List of Western Digital bootable and non bootable models|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9022456#9022456]
Is a Firewire connected drive any less vulnerable to damage by computer hardware failure than an internal drive?
Yes & no. The yes: I don't know about G5s (they use a different connector from the G4s and earlier with which I am familiar) but in some computers the drives will share the same controller. If the controller goes then all connected drives can be corrupted. The no: Then too, I have had two Firewire drives be corrupted. One was by trying it with a PCI card (not what you're using) that was incompatible with my model computer. The other was when the power source in the enclosure went bad.
This is almost leading me to think that 3 drives would be the best! One internal for OS system & applications (1 TB), one continually connected for auto backup (my original 74 GB), and one (a bootable clone) attached only during occasional backups (2 TB).
The more the better. I usually buy drives in size increments that make sense for my configuration. I have two 120GB internal drives so I bought a 250GB external drive for backup and partitioned it into two so I could just back up one internal to one partition and the second to the other.
I'm perplexed with both your feelings about burnt media. I was not aware of this and fortunately have not experienced problems. However, it is only recently that I gravitated from 700MB CD's to 4.7 GB DVD-RW's for backups. I've been using Maxell
There's backup and there's archiving. Backup is for having a copy of what you're actively using. Archiving is storing stuff that is unlikely to change. Optical media is lousy for backup because files are constantly changing. Backing up a 120 GB onto 4GB media either requires a super organized person or you're spending a day sticking DVDs into your computer.
Optical media is less lousy for archiving, but still not great. Where's the floppy drive on your computer? Where will the DVD drive be in 15 years? It's also a lot faster archiving onto hard drives, and the cost of drives has come down to where the per GB cost is about equivalent of less than high-quality, archival-grade DVDs. Yes, drives change too, but it is also easy to copy from drive to drive. I have items archived on drives that are over 10 years old and as long as I make sure I keep on top of being able to connect those drives to a computer they are usable.
BTW: I tried to quote your messages for this reply, went to "Help" to learn how that is done and found this: "If you want to quote specific text from the original message, click Quote Original to add all the text from the original message to the Message box." I could see no such button "Quote Original". Can anyone please tell me where it is?
There's a '"' icon in the compose window when you type a reply. If I'm doing a lot of quotes (as I did here) I use that, then edit out the bits I don't want. Otherwise I copy and paste the text and add a > before the line to get it to appear in the special format.

Error "print driver host for 32bit applications has stopped working"

Got this error when trying to "print" a gmail message to a pdf file. After some research (trial and error) I found that in my case this message is due to the subject line of the message generating an invalid Windows file name. Using the subject line to generate the filename is how GMail decides to generate the file name. I guess this is as good a strategy as any. I cannot think of a better strategy for GMail (would not want that "feature" changed).
Solution: Forwarded message to myself with a subject line that does not generate an invalid Windows file name and then "printed" that forwarded message.
Software: Adobe Acrobat Pro. OS: Win 7 64-bit. Application: Chrome accessing GMail. But I conjecture that this error message is not dependent on the specific configuration I have. For example, I recall having a failure when trying to do "print" a GMail message under 32-bit vista though I do not recall the error message (was very likely different :-). In that case I copied the message into Word and moved on leaving it as a mystery.
Adobe solution (I suppose) is that Acrobat (distiller) needs to check the validity of the Windows file name and give back a rationale error message before passing to the OS.
Hope this helps somone out there.

I am having the exact same problem. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Design Premium CS 5.5. InDesign is the ONLY program that will not print to any printer. I get the "Printer selection failed." error every time I select any printer, even the Adobe PDF one. I have a Brother printer, an HP Plotter, and even an Oce copier/printer. InDesign gives the error no matter what printer is selected form its own list. Photoshop and Acrobat do not give me any issues, nor does any of the MS Office programs nor Autodesk softwares. It's only InDesign that fails. Reparing doesn't do anything and reinstalling every printer driver is pointless because it's only InDesign that produces the error.
Does anyone know what to do to fix this?
