Finder does not run properly after starting up [Mountain Lion]

I've installed MountainLion from Snow Leopard 10.6.8
My Mac is Macbook7,1 (Macbook White) Intel Core 2 Duo
When the installation finish, it seems like Finder does not run. I have to click on the Finder icon on the Dock to make it run.
And then I got some of problem after that
1. When I Click "About This Mac", nothings happen.
2. When I Click "Restart...", "Shutdown..." or "Sleep", nothings happen. So, I have to Shutdown or Restart my Macbook from "Login Window..." only.
3. Some of my settings in "System Preferences" do not be saved. Such as Trackpad settings (I can't "Tap to Click" in every time I start up my Macbook, I have to use physical click instead.) and Spotlight Hotkey settings (When I switch the Language, the Spotlight is popping up.)
I'm not sure what is the cause of these problem.
Could anyone help me please.
Thank You.

I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

Why Mail does not work properly after updated to Mountain Lion?

I updated to ML two days ago and my Mail is not working. I can read but cannot reply because there is no cursor. Restarted a few times, no change. Anybody has the same problem??

Mail does not retreive messages after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I just upgraded my work iMac (2009) to Mountain Lion last night and now it will not retreive any messages from my work email account (POP). It was working fine yesterday (and for the past 3+ years) while I was still on Lion, but despite searching for answers and trying multiple solutions for several hours, I still cannot get it to work. Among other things, I have deleted and then added the account back (multiple times); restarted the Mac (multiple times); and zapped the PRAM, but nothing has fixed it yet.
When I select "Get Mail" from that mailbox and watch the Activity Monitor, it connects to the server, says "Fetching new mail", then "Preparing to retreive new mail", but it then just disappears after about about a minute and makes the "no mail" beep. There are no error messages, but I can see in the bottom "Mail Activity" window that it says it's downloading 40+ messages but nothing shows up. The mail account still works on my iPhone and I can check the mail on my webmail server, so I don't think it has anything to do with the server especially since it worked fine yesterday.
Any insight would be much appreciated because it's driving me crazy!!

My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Javascript does not run properly in Firefox

Firefox does not run javascript properly.
For example:
http://vk.com/app2622342_40916334#NEW/comp1427
Comment form does not run at all in Firefox ( the last version = 20.0.1)
but runs OK in Opera.
WHY?
Mozilla still is HALF-DONE SOFTWARE!!!!!!!
WHEN YOU DO IT IN A GOOD WAY?

I have javazcript-enabled = TRUE in my about:config. So your comment did not solve my problem. I noticed that javascript does not run properly in some websites (forms in vk.com) but those forms run OK in OPERA - how can you explain this!?
And I have no errors in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
I wrote you a link to the page where javascript does not work.
( you need to login to vk.com to see that page

IOS 7.1.2 Clock does not move properly after screen blocking

Please help! Clock on my iphone 5 does not work properly. It does not move or stays behind, every time I am blocking the screen. How can I fix it

Hello r-engineer,
Given the iPhone is not getting past the Terms and Conditions prompt I'm wondering if it is having issues connecting to the update servers.
As suggested in this article, try restarting the iPhone, try a different network, then try with iTunes.

ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync. I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/. I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help. Please let me know of any solution.

I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.

Line 6 tone port gx doesn't work properly after updating to mountain lion, i'm hearing artefacts, how is that possible?

i am using logic 9 and line 6 toneport gx for recording my guitar. on the previous version of OSx everything worked perfect, but now, after updating to mountain lion, i hear noise after i play something. the settings were: input: toneport, output: coreaudio, 44100, buffer 512. now they are the same and i have noise. i've installed the latest drivers for toneport and changed the buffer settings. when the buffer is large, i can play some seconds without the noise but it appears after 15-20 seconds. and when the buffer is small it appears faster. i assume it has to do something with the buffer size but i don't know for sure. any ideas?

I have the same problem after updating to ML. It's unusuable for recording until it gets sorted out.
I think it's a problem at the Line 6 end. They are aware of it, and are working on some patch/fix to address the strange artifact sounds, so hopefully it will be ready soon.

Screen does not turn on after start up, but after standby on Satellite M100

Hi,
I have quite some experience with computers and laptops, but this problem exhausted all my knowledge.
My girlfriend has a Toshiba Satellite M100, PSMA1E. It runs Windows XP, currently on SP3.
The laptop always had shutdown/stand bye issues. It would go on stand bye and the screen would not come back. She usually would turn it off manually (holding the power button) and turn it on again.
Same thing happened last week, but with me. I turned it off holding the power button but when I turned it back on the screen was completely black. After a few attempts I realized that everything was working; I could hear XP booting and the usual sound files but there was no way I could get the screen working.
The strangest thing is that the CMOS/BIOS screen, the first one with the Toshiba logo, also does not show up. If it was a OS problem I thought I would be able to access the BIOS at least, but that doesn't work. Fn+F5 also doesn't work.
Then something even stranger happened. I was turning it on and off with keyboard shortcuts and I realized that if I put it on stand bye using shortcuts and then turn it back on the screen turns on perfectly fine (there is some resolution adjustment cause icons are out of place, but it works perfectly well).
From that on I tried everything I know. BIOS update, all Windows XP updates, all Toshiba QuickFix, cleaning the registry with different tools, uninstalling and reinstalling the video driver (ATI Radeon X1400), HotKeys utility, Power Saver Utility, Toshiba Hardware Tools, looking at start up programs, services, everything I could possibly think off.
What really puzzles me is that the Toshiba start up screen won't show up. I can't access the BIOS, but I tried restoring BIOS standard values through Toshiba Hardware Tools. It didn't work. I don't even know if reinstalling XP will work because every time I turn it on it's all black and I need to do the stand bye/turn back on trick.
When I plugged it on a external monitor I could see the whole start up process (BIOS initial screen and Windows). I then tried to access the display configuration of the video driver but it would only show the external monitor. It would only detect the laptop screen after a stand bye/turn back on, and then it worked perfectly well: two simultaneous screens, extended screen, everything. Ah, changing the BIOS from Auto-Select to LCD+external monitor also does not work.
I'm really puzzled here and I can't figure this one out. I really don't think it's a hardware issue, because the screen works 100% after the stand bye. I guess XP is making something during shut down that completely 'shuts down' my screen, even after boot, and then I can only turn it on with the stand bye thing.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Best,

Hi mate,
that whole story sounds really weirdo since after reading all this and knowing that youve tried almost everything doesnt makes it better.. :/
Usually I would say: update your BIOS, but you already updated everything. This problem could be BIOS related since the initialization of the hardware after a standby is controlled by the chipset trough the BIOS.
I guess it could also be something with the background light of the LCD screen (failed initialization after waking up), you can check this by reproducing the situation with the black screen and holding some light near the screen. If you can see some schemes on the screen (something like desktop, etc..) then it could be the background lighting. In such case try to reinstall the operating system and update all installed drivers to the newest version (yes I know, sounds like more pain).
Otherwise, click [HERE|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT], find the nearest authorized service partner in your country, contact them and ask them for a hardwarecheckup. Maybe its really a hardware related issue..
Greets and good luck

Configfree does not run properly under WinXP

It looks like the Configfree is not working as it should on my Satellite laptop. I get a ghost of an image icon with Summit, Connectivity, Profiles and Q-Connect items. I can't do anything with then from the icons on the screen. Connectivity Doctor does not seem to work. I run Wndows XP.

I had some problems with this as well on my A9. You can uninstall this and use windows to configure your wifi...this works heaps better. :)
In Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, then Services. Start the Wireless Zero Configuration service.
Then go to Network Connections in Control Panel, Right click on Wireless Networks and select View Available Wireless Networks. Select Advanced, select the Wireless Network tab and check the box "Allow Windows to Configure Wireless".
After this go back to Network Connections and right click on Wireless Networks, select View Available Wireless Networks.
Now you should be able to use Windows to configure your wifi. :)

Stored Procedure Does Not Run Properly When Called From Portlet

We have a simple Java portlet that calls a PL/SQL stored procedure which we wrote. The stored procedure sends a large number of emails to users in our corporation using the "utl_smtp" package. The stored procedure returns a count of the emails back to the Java portlet when it's finished. This number is displayed in the portlet.
Our problem:
The stored procedure functions as expected when run from a PL/SQL block in SQL*Plus, and the Java portlet calls the procedure properly when sending out a smaller number of emails (Less than 200 usually). When we get into a higher number of emails the procedure hangs when called from the portlet, but it STILL functions properly from SQL*Plus. It does not return the number of emails sent
and the Java portlet is unable to return a SQLException. Also, we have noticed that emails are sent at a much slower pace from the stored procedure when it's called from the portlet.

Any Ideas?

Firefox 6 on Windows XP SP3 does not close properly after checking if plugins are up to date.

After doing Tools > Add-ons > Plugins > Check if plugins are up to date, Firefox process will not exit after closing Firefox.
I can close the window, but Firefox process does not exit. New window does open if I click Firefox icon to launch it. After reboot Firefox complains that some tabs could not be opened, as if it had crashed because of reboot.

i deleted the rdf and now the first window only (and any tabs in it) are maximised. i found this in the rdf
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"
screenX="4"
screenY="4"
width="1008"
height="461"
sizemode="Normal" />
i tried changing normal to maximised; no effect. either i need also to change the numbers (to match a maximised window) or ff ignores this. i want to be able to open different sites in different windows, and not have to maximise them manually. ff never used to be broken, why break this? what possible security flaw was fixed by screwing up ff to never open maximised unless u hack it or delete certain config files?

HT1414 Linksys webcam does not view properly after upgrading to ios6

I upgraded my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 to the new ios 6. Now when I go to view my linksys web cams they do not view properly. I see the camera view for a few second, but then it goes blank. I have another iPad 2 which I did not upgrade and am still able to view with the old iOS. Seems like the new iOS 6 did something, but not sure why it will not work with the new iOS.
I access the site through the web browser.

Same problem. I two nights ago I upgraded to IOS6 on my iPad2 and can no longer call up my LinkSys cams in Safari. My iPod Touch 4 is still on IOS5 and no problem viewing cams in Safari.
I am still in Lion on my iMac but last month upgraded to Safari 6. I then lost the ability to view my cams in Safari. I went back to Safari 5.1.7 and then no more problems.
Obviously this is a Safari error. Until this is fixed, I will not upgrade to Mountain Lion.
I spoke to Apple last night and the tech said he will contact engineering. He took detailed notes so let's hope for the best.
If you need to view your cams on your devices, investigate iCam by SKJM or LiveCams Pro by Eggman Technologies. Both apps do way more than just viewing your cams. I have been using iCam for about a year for security reasons. Your cams can be set up to record on motion where images will be stored on your devices AND Dropbox.
iCam, however, is slightly difficult to set up (and sometimes maddening) but lots of info on their site as well as direct response to any problem by email. Some idiosyncrasies but hey it's only $5 and does provide security when you leave your home. Not to mention all your cams on one page if all you want to do is look at them.

Imac running slow after installation of Mountain Lion 10.8.2

I purchased Mountain Lion OSX v.10.8.2 to access icloud. Since installing imac running slow, especially connecting to web sites.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
Note: I will respond ONLY to the original poster.
