Entourage opens but freezes after 10.5.1 update

Installed 10.5.1 and whilst all other Office 2004 programs seem ok Entourage opens but then just sits there with the spinning ball.
Tried restarting and Repaired Permissions.
Anyone got any ideas what next, or least a suggestion how I might get to my Mail Folders as I can use the Web interface for Mail in the meantime.
Fortunately I have been using Time Machine before and after update, so assume I can retrieve any corrupted files but it all looks ok when it opens anyway.
Thanks

Peggy,
I didn't repair the permissions until I experienced the problems with Pages after the initial installation. After I did this, things worked fine. Like I said, after updating to 10.5.1 yesterday, the problem returned and after repairing permissions didn't get things back to normal, I reinstalled iWork '08.
Here's something odd. Even though I trashed the entire iWork '08, when I reinstalled, the installer told me that zero space was required to install iWork '08. So maybe there's some other disk issue involved?
The Repair Disk option is grayed out in Disk Utilities. There's an instruction to run the reapir application from a CD or DVD, but Leopard only has one installation disk and it doesn't have any independently running repair program on it.

My Apple Apps are unresponsive after installing Mavericks. iBooks, Maps, App Store, iCal, etc. will open, but freeze

After installing Mavericks, I found that my Apple Apps (iBooks, App Store, Maps, iCalendar, iBooks, etc) will open but freeze or are none responsive. I have reinstalled Mavericks, did a recovery and reinstall, almost everything that I could find in other discussions. They only thing that helped was the recovery, until I tried to reinstall Mavericks. Someone please help.....

OS X Recovery does restore OS X meaning Mavericks.
Make sure there's enough storage space ...
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
OS X Recovery does require a broadband high speed internet connection.

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$
I could use iPhoto images in Media Browser before the update - is this happening to anyone else?
I have restarted... no change. Maybe I'll try opening and closing iPhoto once.

Thanks for the reply.
I am on Pages 2 also... Hmmm, Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing - New to Pages. I see my Library, Last Roll and all my albums in the Media Browser but when I double click one of them nothing happens - Is there some other way to open them?

Cs4 wont open on mavericks after installing new Java update

Cs4 (photoshop and illustrator) wont open on mavericks after installing new Java update.
I have tried installing both from the auto prompt (which came up as 'software update') as well as directly downloading from this link: Java for OS X 2014-001
either way when i try to open a cs4 program the icon simply bounces around for a minute then it comes up "program not responding"
anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance.

Hi Matthew,
First of all, you should be able to check in your HD/Library/Receipts folder to see what has been installed by looking for the .pkg of it.
re: "I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine"
You should not be offered updates that are not intended for your System through Software Update. Software Update, as far as I know, reads the .pkg files in your Receipts folder and will offer what you need from that. (I believe that is correct....perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong)
Did you Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update?
If not I would try running Repair Permissions (HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions).
I've found that with Security Updates that it is very important to Repair Permissions before and after updating.

Progress Bar freeze after 4.2.1 Update - any news?

Hey Guys,
any news on the progress par freeze after the installation of 4.2.1 on the iPad?
After a horrible 8 hours(!) Backup phase, my iPad 3G 32 Gigabyte freezes after the progress bar reaches 80%. I tried to do a hard reset but it would just stuck at the same stage again after rebooting. My iPhone 4 synced just fine (5min. Backup-Phase to the max) and runs 4.2.1 without any hiccups. But the iPad, being once the love of my life, drives me MAD!!!!!
What did you do? Try to sync it again or just wait some days until the progress bar advances? I`m fed up with OS Updates for now... HEEEELLLLPPP!

Well, that didn't work. But in the process I cleaned up the folders that house my iTunes movies and music get rid of dupes, stuff I didn't want, and so on. However, I did find that I forgot to uninstall WiFi Sync before trying the upgrade. I downloaded the uninstaller and ran it, rebooted, and did the upgrade. Now my iPad is back. I hadn't realized that I had to uninstall WiFi Sync to upgrade the iPad.....

Double-click no longer opens PDF files after 9.3.2 update

I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on both my desktop and my MacBook. On the desktop, the update to 9.3.2 went without problems, on the laptop however, I'm running into problems:
When I double-click on a PDF file, the Acrobat application opens, but the document does not open in Acrobat. If Acrobat is already running, the document also does not open in Acrobat. However, if I use the File>Open menu item in Acrobat, the documents open without any problems.
I've tried to repair Acrobat (which on the Mac dos not seem to do much besides reporting that the no repairs are necessary), and I've also fixed the file system permissions.
Anybody else having these problems? Or, even better any tips about how to fix that?
Thanks,
Karl Heinz

Thanks for the tip, but that did also not fix the problem. I ended up removing Acrobat 9 from my system and reinstalling it and all the updates up to 9.3.2. It's working again.
Thanks again,
Karl Heinz

IChat freezes after 10.5.5. update

Since upgrading to 10.5.5, I have experienced freezes while video chatting in iChat. These freezes happen, on average, every 10-20 minutes. I never had this problem with 10.5.4. Anyone else noticing this? Any ideas of what may be causing this, or it just a bug that I should hope will be fixed in 10.5.6?

Just wanted to add that I am experiencing this too. Everything was fine until the combined update to 10.5.5 and QT 7.5.5. Now my video freezes after about 30 seconds into a chat. The sound keeps going for a while. I need to force exit iChat to quit. The are a lot of suggestions on these and other forums about how to fix this: limiting streaming bandwidth, re-installing QT, deleting plist files, etc. Nothing seems to work. Here's what I know so far:
1. Everything was fine until 10.5.5/QT7.5.5 update
2. Not all connections fail. One buddy never fails, one other always does.
3. Test user [email protected] freezes for me 9 out of 10 times.
4. The 10th time it's fine.
5. Shutting off WeatherDock does not fix it.
6. QT streaming rate throttling in preferences does not fix it.
7. Bandwidth limiting in iChat prefs don't fix it.
8. Re-installing QT does not fix it.
9. Re-installing QT in safe mode after fixing disk permissions doesn't fix it.
10. No combination of the above fixes it.
This is a problem the NEEDS TO BE FIXED, Apple are you listening?
I bought a mac because they said "it just works", I guess not.
I suggest we all send more complaints to Apple. I let the app debugger send its logs to apple a few times per day.

ITunes opening but crashing after "checking itunes library"

My computer has issues with multiple applications, which mostly are connected to itunes/ilife. iPhoto, iWeb, Front Row and iTunes all crash at certain points, but iMovie opens fine, although I haven't tested anything within it other than playback. YouControlTunes (an iTunes controller) also has issues. Reinstalling the OS has made no difference, nor has reinstalling iTunes. I will try reinstalling iLife (again).
iTunes did work after reinstalling the OS the first time after trashing iTunes and iLife and other applications that used up hard drive space (was running low so wanted to make sure Mac OS X installed fine), but after reinstalling iLife and Firefox and other applications then iTunes stopped working again. Garageband and iDVD weren't reinstalled.
I shall try trashing the iTunes library.
Also, the application Mactracker and the installers for 1.0.4 & 1.0.5 of Age of Empires III did not work, so the problem is presumably not iLife.

Try this;-
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.
worked for me!

ITunes 11.1.5 (64-bit) tries to open, but freezes Windows 7 (64-bit)

Even when it does manage to open, it instantly becomes unresponsive. Browser and other computer tasks become unresponsive. The task manager takes longer that usual to open when it does open. Had to shut down processes in task manager to take control of the system back. Had to force shut off PC twice because at one point the pointer and touchpad functions became unresponsive. Uninstall and re-install results in the same. It started when I dragged 146 re-tagged songs to the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder. At the moment I have over 32,000 files in iTunes.
I used Mp3tag to re-tag the mp3 files I tried to drag in. Although these songs where in iTunes while they were being tagged, I only retagged titles and artists, I didn't even add images to the mp3 files so I don't see why it would be too much work for iTunes to classify the previous versions as missing (as it always does) and just add the new files as it always did.
Of course this retagging process could have nothing to do with what is happening. I went back and extracted the songs from the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder (yes they were still there, all of them) and set them aside in a different location to see if it relieved iTunes from the workload, but no change. I tried uninstalling and installing an older version (11.1.3) but it didn't work. I uninstalled and tried to re-install 11.1.5 but the same thing is happening.
I just tried to view a CD I put in my PC with the purpose to rip it, and iTunes did the same thing.
I run Windows 7 (64-bit), with 70GB of storage available (of 449), Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor, and 8GB of RAM to work with.
Thanks ahead of time.

Hey pippin73,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like the third-party plugin may be impacting the performance of iTunes:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface
- Slow performance
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly
- You see this alert while syncing: "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you see the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any third-party plug-ins by opening iTunes in Safe Mode:
- OS X: Hold down Option-Command.
- Windows: Hold down Shift-Control while opening iTunes.
If opening iTunes in safe mode resolves your issue, see the above resource for steps you can take to minimize impact.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPhoto 11 opens but freezes as soon as I select photos; reinstalled no change

iPhoto 11 (9.1.5) started freezing. The appln opens, all seems OK. When I select photos or categories: events, last import etc. I reinstalled with no change.

backup your iPhoto library and depress the option and command keys and launch iPhoto - repair the library - if that does not fix it do it again and rebuild
