Fixing permissions problem on Mac OS that impedes start of Adobe applications

See this article for a suggestion for how to deal with a cause of After Effects (and other applications) taking a long time to start on Mac OS:
fixing permissions problem on Mac OS that impedes start of Adobe applications
This same issue also affects the functioning of Dynamic Link and warnings regarding QuickTime not being installed.

"Later I used DirectoryChooser. This is working fine but the pop-up is always coming behind javafx applet when started in browser. Note: This is working fine if we run as stand alone applicationYou should file a bug/feature request about this against the Runtime project:

Exception in thread "AWT-AppKit" java.awt.HeadlessExceptionSee:
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-20784 "Mac: Headless environment issue, MacOSX"
The above issue discusses some potential workarounds which may (or may not) work in your situation.
Try the latest 8-ea build (available at http://jdk8.java.net/download.html).
The graphics environment is no longer forced to be headless in the java 8 trunk (the jira case I linked is closed as fixed), but it may take a week or two for the fix to propagate to the jdk8 early access download page.
Also note that this kind of call from a JavaFX application to a Swing component isn't really a supported configuration (embedding JavaFX in a JFXPanel in a Swing application is supported, but other forms of interaction between JavaFX and Swing such as JavaFX opening Swing dialogs are not). That's not to say that it might not work, it's just that you shouldn't expect it to work now or continue to work in the future (especially in an applet deployment context where the window handling is more complex for the underlying frameworks due to the browser embedding). Further facilities to ease Swing and JavaFX integration are planned for JavaFX 8 (http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-12100 "Swing components inside JavaFX"), but I don't know if it would mean that the scenario you are trying to achieve would be supported.
A further alternative you might have would be to deploy your application as a Swing application rather than a JavaFX application and wrap your JavaFX content in a JFXPanel. It is likely that opening a Swing JFileChooser would work in such a mixed code scenario, though I have not tried it.

What can I do to fix an old Power Mac G4 that gives an I/O error message when trying to access Entourage?

What can I do to fix an ld Power Mac G4 that gives an I/O error message when trying to access Entourage?

You mean when you try to just start it?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

HT2963 How can I fix permissions problems now that I have changed permission on my HD and have error code -8076, locked disk or ....?

iMac v10.7.4. Error message says disk is locked. Permissions set for read/write admin (me). Can't open iTunes, Mail, photoshop, adobe bridge [you do not have permission!]. Fonts in Word are unexpected, not cambria. Used Disk utility to repair permissions (ran it twice, once before reinstalling photoshop from DVD; once today). Situation worsening.

Permissions problems occurred after I downloaded Lion update on 6092012. I believe the problem originates with Lion (see the 19 pages of posted problems in the community). I have now talked with Apple Support rep and an Apple Genius. Have reinstalled Lion from the HD Recovery disk. I see some improvement but also at least one new problem: TimeMachine apparently has lost all backups, don't know how or why. Will have to take machine to a mac specialist or wait for Mountain Lion to arrive. Lion is a bad cat.

How do I Help Apple Care Stop Warring with Each Other and Fix the Problem with My iPhone that They Acknowledge Creating?

How Do I Help Apple US & Apple Europe Stop Warring With Each Other And Fix The Problem They Created?
PROBLEM
Apple will not replace, as promised, the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) that they gave me in London, UK, with an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model).
BACKGROUND
My iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) was purchased this year in September on an existing Verizon Wireless (VZW) line using an upgrade. The purchase took place in California and the product was picked up using Apple Personal Pickup through the Cerritos Apple Retail Store. I will refer to this phone at my "original" phone.
The original phone was taken into the Apple Store Regent Street in London, England, UK on November 15, 2012. The reason for this visit was that my original phone's camera would not focus.
The Apple Store Regent Street verified there was a hardware problem but was unable to replace the part.
The Apple Store Regent Street had me call the US AppleCare. At first they denied support, but then a supervisor, name can be provided upon request, approved the replacement of my original phone with an iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) as a temporary solution until I got back in the US. And approved that the GSM model would be replaced with a CDMA model when I came back to the US. I will refer to the GSM model as the "replacement". They gave me the case number --------.
The Apple Store Regent Street gave me the replacement and took the original. The first replacement did not work for reasons I do not understand. They switched out the replacement several times until they got one that worked on the T-Mobile nano SIM card that I had purchased in England, UK. Please refer to the repair IDs below to track the progression of phones given to me at the Apple Store Regent Street:
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 15)
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
The following case number was either created in the UK or France between November 15 to November 24. Case number -----------
On November 19, 2012, I went to France and purchased an Orange nano SIM card. The phone would not activate like the first two repair IDs above.
On November 24, 2012, I went to the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps. The Genius told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. They had me call the AppleCare UK.
My issue was escalated to a tier 2 UK AppleCare agent. His contact information can be provided upon request. He gave me the case number -----------.
The UK tier 2 agent became upset when he heard that I was calling from France and that the France Apple Store or France AppleCare were not helping me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault.
The UK tier 2 agent said he was working with engineers to resolve my problem and would call me back the next day on November 25, 2012.
While at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, a Genius switched the phone given to from repair ID ----------- with a new one that worked with the French nano SIM card.
Also, while at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, I initiated a call with AppleCare US to get assistance because it seems that AppleCare UK was more upset that France was not addressing the issue rather than helping me. I have email correspondance with the AppleCare US representative.
A Genius at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps switched the replacement with a new GSM model that worked on the French SIM card but would not work if restored, received a software update, or had the SIM card changed. This is the same temporary solution I received from the Apple Store Regent Street in the UK.
By this point, I had spent between 12-14 hours in Apple Store or on the phone with an AppleCare representative.
Upon arriving in the US, I went to my local Apple Store Brea Mall to have the replacement switched with a CDMA model. They could not support me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. My instructions were to call AppleCare US again.
My call with AppleCare US was escalated to a Senior Advisor, name can be provided upon request, and they gave me the case number -----------. After being on the phone with him for over an hour, his instructions were to call the Apple Store Regent Street and tell them to review my latest notes. They were to process a refund for a full retail priced iPhone 5 64BG black onto my credit card so that I could use that money to buy a new iPhone 5 64GB black at the Apple Store Brea Mall to reoslve the problem.
The Apple Store Regent Street did not process my refund. He, name can be provided upon request, told me that the AppleCare US did not do a good job reviewing my case, that they were incapable of getting to the bottom of it like they were, and instructed me to call AppleCare US and tell them to review this case number and this repair id. I asked if he read the notes from the AppleCare US Senior Advisor and he would not confirm nor deny. When I offered to give him the case number he accepted but it seemed like would do no good. Our call was disconnected. When I tried calling back the stores automated system was turned on and I could not get back through.
Now I have the full retail price of an iPhone 5 64GB black CDMA on my credit card and Apple will not process the refund as they said they would.
I've, at this point, spent between 14-16 hours at Apple Stores or on the phone with AppleCare representatives, and still do not have the problem resolved.
SOLUTION
AppleCare US and AppleCare Europe need to resolve their internal family issues without further impacting their customers.
Apple is to process a refund to my credit card for the cost of a full retail priced iPhone 5 64GB black.
DESIRED OUTCOMES
I have an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) that works in the US on VZW as it did before I received the replacement phone in the UK.
Apple covers the cost of the solution because I did not create the problem.
Apple resolves their internal issue without costing me more time, energy, or money.
This becomes a case study for AppleCare so that future customers are not impacted like I have been by their support system.
Does anyone have recommendations for me?
Thank you!
<Edited by Host>

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

Permissions problems, keep changing and can't save from within application

Hi there, we're running Mavericks server on our local network with a half dozen MBP and iMacs connected.
For a wee while now, our users have been getting permissions problems. Documents (Excel documents, InDesign, Photoshop etc.) are becoming read only and we can't save them to either the same folder from within the application. Even ones that the same user has created. The thing is, we can copy the document to our desktop and then back again to the same folder and continue to edit and save normally.
I've tried setting the Access for our "Group" to "Read & Write" but to no avail, this keeps happening. I can login to the server as admin and correct the permissions but they seem to keep reverting somewhere along the line...
Apologies if there's something obvious I'm overlooking.
Any recommendations? Would you recommend just removing all users and groups and starting again? Am I missing something?

Thanks Linc, I have selected the folders that are shared from the Server App "Storage" tab and made sure the permissions are correct and then "propogated" them.
All users belong to the same group we call "material".
Just wondering, should I do this sort of thing when no one is connected to the server? Or should I require that everyone log off and back on?

TS1702 Vtok application problems since I update my iPad 2 system to ios6, my vtok cannot open. What I need to do in order to fix this problem? I already removed and re installed the application many times, but this didn't fix the problem.

It is any problem with the application vtok? Since I update my iPad2 system to iOS6.0 I was unable to use this application. The problem is when I tap on the vtok icon, the application opens and closes right away. I removed and reinstall the application twice, but this doesn't fix the problem. When I try to find the application on application store, it's give me a message that the vtok application is not available in USA.

Not available in Spain either. I can't find anything googling for this problem, Vtok's page and facebook page seem to be unmaintained.
It is strange such a widely used app doesn't show life signals.
Good luck

It would appear that there is a problem with Adobe Application Manager. When I run Bridge(64) I run the HELP->UPDATE. The system will launch Application Manager and hangs. “Checking for Updates….” Icon spins and nothing that I can see happens. I will have to use Task Manager to kill it.
It also appears that I cannot install from my CS6 Installation disk. Will not except the S/N. My guess the count need to be reset. We are at 6 authorizations.
The problem: Ever since I stopped the CC Upgrade Special and deleted CC software I have not been able to get Adobe software squared away.

open tinyurl.com/975597
After looking around he asks “Is it working fine?” – I’m still baffled at this question because he had not made any changes.My response:
Well no.. let’s check it out
1. bridge update, that would be no
2. CS6 installs? That would be No...
So what's the question?
Amit Kumar: When it is already install, then why are you installing it again.
Rod Chatfield: option 1 - Bridge is my 1st choice to work. If that does not work then I have to Re-load Adobe
Amit starts looking at various systems setting and web pages and we wind up on: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Before Amit could run anything I spoke up: “the last time a rep took me this path I had to rebuild my pc... Are you sure you are not taking me down that path?
Amit Kumar: I will just check adobe id credentials.
Rod Chatfield: get me to the next level of tech.
Amit passes me off to Udit
Udit Tuli: What is the issue you are facing?

Are there any known problems with Macs and the mp3 playback in Adobe Connect ?

One user using an Apple Mac has complained of not being able to hear the mp3 sound playback in a meeting.
Is this a problem with Apple Mac and mp3 compatibility or is it an individual soundcard issue ?

I use several Macs with Adobe Connect and I have even created MP3 files for playback in the room. Works fine on all my macs. It's basic Flash. Suggest they clear their browser cache, replace their host-add-in if using one. Run the audio wizard as well to make sure sound is working in Connect.
All of the Adobe Connect Government engineers use Macs all the time so we've never had an issue with MP3's.

Can't start my Adobe Applications - returning Error 150:30 after updated Mac OS to 10.9

I have just updated my mac to OS X 10.9 and my Adobe CS4 applications won't open, returning error 150:30. I understand this is licensing related. I have been browsing various forums to get a fix for this, and I haven't found anything that works to date. Can somebody offer any advice on this, and is it something that has been seen before. I should mention that I updated straight from 10.5 to 10.9.
Should I go about reinstalling CS4 from the disks? Is there a simpler fix? I would appreciate any help or specific knowledge that anyone can tender in this topic.
Thanks!

Yes, reinstal lthe programs.

Ownership and permissions problem

Hi all
I've got a new iMac 27" running 10.6.4. Following my old Mac Pro's departure I have copied all my backed up work files and folders from an external drive to my documents folder (not via Migration Assistant / Time Machine backup - MA wouldn't recognise the drive!). I can open the files without problem, but I can't save them to the same file or folder. If I try to do so, I get a message saying the file is either read-only, I don't have permission, it may be open by another application, close everything - basically I can't. If I create a new folder with its own new files, I can save and re-save without a problem, its just my old/existing work files that I can't work on.
I've just spent an hour and a half on the phone to Applecare who cannot resolve this. We tried fixing permissions from the Mac OSX startup disc, creating a new user account with admin capabilities, manually getting info on specific files and checking the permissions, unlocking and applying permissions to all enclosed files and folders so they have read and write capability, but nothing works. Applecare tell me to re-save the files with a new name in a new location. I have literally hundreds of thousands of files, this is not an attractive solution. So they suggested I try and find a 3rd party app that will batch-change ownership on these files.
I've read a lot about people with permissions problems but none quite the same as mine. If the Apple OS (get info) and Disk Utility cannot change the permissions so I can work effectively, can another piece of software realistically do this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Dave
