  • I am receiving an error message and PSE won't open

    Hi. I've been using this laptop (Windows Vista) and PSE7 since the beginning of this year.
    Last night, when I went to open up PSE, I got this message:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements(Editor)  Has Stopped Working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
    But, it doesn't give me a solution.
    I rebooted. Then I shut down and turned off the computer over night.
    PSE is still not working.
    Any suggestions?
    What do I need to do to get it going?
    Thanks,
    Charlene

    Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash.   Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

  • Safari and itunes won't open

    I was using my mac 3 days ago and everything was fine, then comcast had a internet problem and I lost service for 3 days now I have internet but safari and itunes won't open the icon bounces once and then nothing. I have removed them from the dock, and removed them from the app folder, I also removed the plist and cache files from the home directory. Using firefox I tried to download new copies of them both and nothing new appears on my desktop. I have run the hardware test utility on my osx discs and everthing checks out ok. I am so frustrated, this is the first real problem with my mac since I got it 2.5 years ago. thanks in advance

    ok here is an update, I repaired permissions in disk utility with my boot disk, then verified the volume and the volume had errors. I tried to repair the volume and disk utility said I had sibling errors and could not repair. I had an appointment with the genius bar and they determined that with the unrepairable errors on the drive an erase and install was necessary, after coming to grips with this reality I decided to backup everything and do the reformat and upgrade to leopard. I can honestly say that the genius bar person was very courteous and professional. They allowed me to stay at the bar while backing up my files onto my lacie external drive and then installed a new copy of leopard from their lacie drive (after I paid for my copy of leopard) which took 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. I am frustrated that I had to do this whole process and the genius bar employee could not tell me why it happened but the system is working great and I am enjoying the new operating system.

  • App Store, Messages and FaceTime Won't Open

    I own a Macbook Pro (15-inch mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.5)
    I was using my Messages App just this morning and all of a sudden it stopped working.
    I have tried opening it from the Applications Folder as well as directly from my Dock.
    What happens is the icon for the Messages App bounces several times (usually three after I press it the first time) and the screen will not appear.
    The icon shows currently that I have three unread messages and even when I hold and click and try to open a "new message" or an "unread message" the screen won't open.
    I tried several other apps just to see if this was an isolated incident, but I found that FaceTime, App Store and iPreview will not open either. They all bounce a few times, but they will not open a screen. My App Store even shows that there is one new update, but it won't open.
    I have tried so many things from a lot of older threads but I am completely clueless on what to do.
    Can anyone help me?

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • ERROR MESSAGE AND CANT SEEM TO RESET IT HELP PLEASE

    my phone kept restarting itself and then the last time it did the blackberry platform was in the background and i clicked ok to afew error messages then i cant seem to get rid of one which say...
    uncaught exception: applicationregistry. getorwaitfor
    then lots of numbers
    but ive done the ctrl alt del and nothing is working.
    can anyone help me please.

    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient, and try variations of what the KB recommends. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    If you can't get it into Safe Mode, then more drastic measures may be necessary, all resulting in complete data loss on the BB -- hopefully you have been following a diligent backup process with your BB:

    KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
    KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
    Of course, if there is something wrong at the hardware level, then no amount of software, OS, or Internet-distance diagnosis will be of much use.
    Good luck and let us know!
