How to change language/Preferences will not load up
I open iTunes and the main tabs are in chinese (which i cannot read at all) I looked on the apple website and it tells me to go to preferences and to change language there but when i preferences (which i think it is preferenses because it's in chinese and theres a (p) next to the chinese) It does not open up the box it should do. Someone help?
Go to Application Definition -> Globalization. There you can define how to derive the language.
I also recommend the appropriate chapter in the Application Builder Users Guide.
brgds,
Peter

I have Lion installed on my mac. My desktop and screensaver, in system preferences will not load. I have to Force close it, after it's been open. I know that I
can change my desktop pic, by clicking "change my desktop, but I would like to understand what made it freeze up like that. All I get is that thing that looks like a piece of candy. From there, it does nothing. The rest of the system preferences work fine. It's like its caught in a loop of some kind. I would appreciate any help that I can get. Thanks.Since you are still under the Apple warranty, please give Apple tech support a call (before your 90 day phone support expires, if you did not buy the APP yet...) If the problem is more than just a simple software glitch, they will be able to fix it right away for you...

Mouse Preference will not load
Here's a weird one.
My Mouse slowed down so I opened System Preferences and clicked on 'Mouse' preferences and I get this message-
Preferences Error
Could not load Mouse
Switched Mouse in USB ports but still the same, Mouse still works but moves slow. Is there a Preferences pref file I can trash or a Mouse pref file? Any idea's?

System preferences will not load
Hello, I am new to all of this and my expert is traveling. I read through this forum and saw some others had problems with system preferences. My problem is that I can not get system preferences to load when I click on it. I have tried the icon in the dock, the item in the blue Apple menu and even in the applications folder. When I click on any of these, nothing happens. This problem just started. I have not loaded any new software or updates in quite some time. Any ideas about how I can solve this problem? I am using a Powerbook G4 with Mac OS 10.4.9. Thank you!
"/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences: launch failed with error code -2857 (cfragCFragRsrcErr) for application /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences\n"
Wow, that's bizarre. "cfragCFragRsrcErr" means that the 'cfrg' resource could not be loaded, but that makes no sense whatsoever. Well, it makes sense in that System Preferences.app isn't a Code Fragment Manager application, but a native Mach-O executable. (Applications in OS 9 and prior used the "Code Fragment Manager" executable format, which involved a single file executable that had both a resource fork and a data fork. See this image for an example. In the resource fork would be the 'cfrg' resource which would define the various sections of executable code found in the data fork of the executable.)
Apple hasn't created any CFM applications in years; as you could see, I had to dig up Microsoft Word to find an example of that format. Instead, in OS X, most applications aren't single "flat" files, but are bundles or packages, which appear as a single file, but are a folder which contains the many individual files that make up the app.
It's a mystery to me why you'd be getting that kind of an error on an application that's not CFM. It would help if you ran the two commands I gave earlier and post the output you get. you can copy and paste one line at a time into the Terminal application and hit return.
<pre>
ls -la "/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences"
file "/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences"</pre>
The first command is attempting to get information about the executable file, the second command attempts to look at the internal contents of the file and see if it matches a known recognized type of file. I get the following:
MacBookPro:~ mdouma46$ ls -la "/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences"

Security preferences will not load
I can't load the Security control panel.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

hello my computer will not load the photoshop program as it has Inefficient disc space how can i fix this please?
Regards
GeoffHi The Lad,
If you have "INSUFFICIENT" disk space, then you can try and change the install location while performing the installation of the desired product. I am not sure when the error message would pop up saying that the disk space is "INEFFICIENT". Could you please share a screen shot of the error message along with the system information.

Firefox 6 will not load when I click the icon. I have tried to uninstall it, both through the control panel and going straight to help.exe. In both cases nothing happens. How do I uninstall this program?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?
On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed. -

I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?
I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
2. Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly. There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:
[click on image to enlarge]
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization. -
How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects
There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube? -
I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub. The file will not load. Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?
You can't fix it. iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices. i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content. Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here. If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv. -
Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?
Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(
