Having a funny quirk with my G-5 tower  pics and pdf's

Hello,
I wanted to see if someone could assist with this issue.
I have a g-5 tower 10.58 op. sys.
I partially downloaded a program called Mackeeper to
clean my mac. I quit the program early. And now I
have a strange thing happening. It's user specific.
For some unknown reason, I cannot open pics or pdf's.
I can however open with another program like adobe and
quick time.
Would might you suggest to get my system working smooth
again. What caused this. I did buy to two back up
hardrives so I'm safe there. Was this specific enough?
I'm trying to do process of elimination of a couple of
cleaner programs I've installed.
I'll try repairing permissions.
Thanks man or woman, Scott

aarrr. thanks so much for for trying to help.
This might be a job for AppleJack.

You install and then run from single-user mode. Read the accompanying "ReadMe.rtf" file in the install volume that comes up from the dmg install file.
Easiest usage is with either
*applejack AUTO <cr>*
or
*applejack AUTO restart <cr>* (if you want an automatic reboot when it is done)
The all caps puts you into "deep" mode which cleans out the launch services database as well, which is probably what you need to do.
The boot process will take a little longer, as cache files have been cleaned so they need to be recreated. Be patient. Also, some applications, when first launched, may trigger a "you are launching this for the first time" alert. Annoying but will only happen once for each application that is launched, mostly (I think) non-Apple apps.
This has a good chance of getting you back into gear, so to speak.

    Not quite sure exactly what you want to do, but you cannot do it on a PowerBook. iCloud requires Lion and Lion requires an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro.

  • Outlook Quirk With E-Mail Submission of XML and/or PDF

    Hello all.
    I am running into an annoying little Outlook quirk when testing e-mail submissions of PDF forms. When the submit button is clicked, Outlook will open a new message window as it should, but the
    Send button will not trigger when clicked. The new message window doesn't react, it just sits there normally. Also,
    Ctrl+Enter doesn't work either. But...if I save the message as a draft, and then send from Outlook's drafts folder, the e-mail miraculously goes its merry way.
    I have tried this out with submitting the XML data by e-mail and with sending the completed PDF via e-mail (both by revising the
    Submit By E-mail button's submit node to "PDF" in the XML and by using a regular button and changing the field's control type and submit info).
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why Outlook is being finicky with this? I am running Office Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Pro and I use LiveCycle Designer 7.0 to create and edit the forms and Acrobat Pro 8.0 to test. My testers also use Outlook 2003/WinXP Pro and use Acrobat Pro 7.0 to fill in the forms.
    Thanks for the time and any help.

  • Having the same problem with Aol not sending my mail and getting error message. If I delete this account, what will happen? This is on my iPad, and I also have a gmail and Yahoo account.

    This happened after I was hacked.

    If you delete that account from your iPad, all messages from it will be removed. You can then go back into Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars and 'Add Account' to add it back onto your iPad.

  • Can I use iphone earbuds with a mac pro tower? And with an extension cord?

    I also need to use an extension cable because of my standing desk (tower is on the floor). I get confused with the 2-band jack, the 3-band jack, etc. I haven't been successful using a regular, radio shack type of headphone extension cord. Salesmen give me a blank stare when I try to explain that I have iphone earbuds with a 3-band jack and that it doesn't work with a regular extension cord. It's like I'm speaking Swahili.

    You can't using 4-band iPhone earphone with Mac Pro.
    You need to get 3-band earphone and extension cable.
    I've been using iPod shuffle's earphone with extension cable osn it works well.

  • Corrupting library with songs turning into jpg's and pdf's?!

    I've run my 60-odd gb itunes library from a (backed up) external drive for a while now with no problems, but recently have found many files (a growing number up to 2000 now) that won't play whose size is only 1-200kb.
    When moved out of iTunes (latest version) they show up in the finder with jpeg or pdf for html extensions... very strange and can find no similar problems on forums so far. Any ideas please wider iTunes community? I'm not wanting to re-import them all without working out why it has happened and continued affecting more and more songs. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It seems that it was working fine earlier.
    The issue seems file specific.
    Try using different file or check with different browser and see.
    Regards,

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

    MY PROBLEM
    I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
    This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
    Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
    WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
    I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
    I have rebooted router many times, nothing
    I have changed my home router, nothing
    I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
    Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
    I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
    i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
    WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

  • I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

    I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

    Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.
