Installer and Applications not opening
After the latest security and Safari updates, I can't open anything except third-party software.
I deleted my own account and am using the Administrator account, and have enabled Administrator as root user, but I still can't get basic apps to open (when I say basic I mean iTunes). The icon will flash in the dock for a second and then disappear.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Hello ultradeluxe, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, then use Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities to Repair Permissions, when it finishes, then reboot...

Macbook Migration Issues - Multiple Accounts and Applications Not Opening
Hello,
I used Migration Assistant via Ethernet cable to Migrate from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro and have encountered a few issues which are outlined in parts below. I followed the setup and migration steps from starting up me new computer for the first time
Firstly my notebooks:-
Old Computer - MacBook5,1, (2008 Aluminium case) running Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Lepard)
New Computer -MacBook Pro ( mid 1012) running Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Lion)
Issues:-
1. User Acounts:
I now have 2 accounts on my new MacBook Pro. (I only want one). Some application were transferred to the first account, and the second account all files and applications were transferred. How do i get to have just one account, the one from my old computer?
2. Applications:
Office for Mac 2008, These are present in my new MacBook Pro under the 2nd account along with all my document files. Yet when i try to open a File or one of the Office apllication such as Entourage, Word or Excel, Microsoft Setup Assistant launches. It asks to if I want complete a survey, the next step is "Getting Started" and it asks to "register" or just click Finish. Clicking Finish simply closes the Setup assistant. Clicking Register takes me to the Office Mac website where is says " Registration no Longer required" Either way i can not open any of these programes.
Other programes such as photoshop ask me to install Java Runtime, others require me to re regisiter with product key i no longer have, and some begin to open and close in a fraction of a second.
What Steps do i need to take to make this work smoothly?
Thanks in Advance.When I went to the 2012 MBP this is what I did for multiple accounts. I tried Migration, several errors. so I:
1. I installed from scratch. Creating my user names, ie user 1 and user 2.
2. After install was complete I ran updates since there are already updates to the 2012 machine.
3. I used time machine to move my work files, music etc over to each user.
4. I then installed the programs again.
I know this is a long process but I have not had any issues. For Office 2008 I would recommend going to 2010. I have no issues with it doing the above steps. MS really doesn't support 2008 with Lion so that is one of the bigger issues. Try MS knowledge base for other people who have issues with Office 2008.. -

I recently updated my MacBook Pro OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and can not open existing Illustrator5 files or save new files can someone help?
I think you have a corrupted upgrade. Do you have a backup of your old system?
Here's what you should do for now:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Hi Guys
This is more of an FYI post rather than a oh dear whats wrong post.
We've had the HH2 for about a 2 years or so now and lately have been having some interesting, shall we say, personality traits with our HH2.
Often, for no reason, the HH2 will drop all wireless signals and will not allow anyone to connect, new devices, old devices or ethernet devices. Only a press of the restart button will resolve this.
Now thats not too annoying apart from the hassle but another (major) issue we're having is port opening/gaming.
Last week i decided to start playing a game i hadnt played it years, upon completion of downloading and installation i tried to connect, may i note weve never had any problems with gaming whatsoever with the HH2 in the 2 years weve had it, unfortunately i kept getting connection errors. So being an IT guy myself i decided to pull up the ports for the game and proceeded to open them up in the HH2's manager and assign them to my device.
Tried to reconnect and still got the error.. i was a bit crosseyed here so i thought well i shall try a port scanner and check to make sure my ports have been opened. They hadnt.. i checked the hub again, ports were listed as open and available in the application sharing section and also assigned to my device.
I proceeded to disable firewalls and DMZ my laptop, risky i know but i am an IT guy and know what i am doing. Anyways i restarted the HH2 again to make sure the firewall selection and DMZ applied. I waited and checked the HH2 was up and rechecked the settings all ok.
I ran the port scan again, the ports were still NOT open. Now this is quite annoying. I went to work and tested the game there on a bog standard ADSL line and the game worked fine. Take it home and not a peep.
I have spoken to BT and we're getting a HH3 free of charge to fix the problem but i just wanted you all to know that there could be some serious issues with the HH2 and it not opening ports, nor allowing DMZ to function correctly!
Thanks everyone, have a nice day and apologies on my wall of text.Ok i think this thread is going to turn into a help me thread... in fact i dont think.. i know...
HELP ME!!!
I have received the new HH3 and with furvour decided to get into the hub, setup the wireless and put the ports in the forward list... i excitedly restarted the hub and connected...
and guess what.. still no joy.. ports are ALL closed... i have even DMZ'd my laptop and that isnt working.. im not getting the IP address im still getting an internal 192 address...
Can anyone give me a clue as to whats going on here? pulling my hair out now! -
Address Book 'Frozen' and Will Not Open
My Address Book has completely frozen and will not open. Whenever I try to open the application, it just 'hangs' there, without actually opening. It was working fine only a few hours ago.
I've tried the following:
*Restarting my MacBook 3 times
*Restoring Address Book from Time Machine
*Deleting Address Book and reinstalling from the Leopard Installer disk
Nevertheless, Address Book will not open. Any suggestions?I fixed the problem! I'm including the solution here, in case anyone else has the same problem.
It appears that my Smart Groups somehow caused my Address Book to freeze up. Unfortunately, you can't delete your Smart Groups while the application is open. Instead, try this:
1.) Close down Address Book
2.) Go to Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor
3.) Enter the following into Script Editor, replacing NAME OF SMART GROUP with the actual name:
tell application "Address Book"
delete group "NAME OF SMART GROUP"
end tell
4.) Click "Run."
5.) Reopen Address Book. This should fix the problem. At least it did for me. -

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages can i uninstall
I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -

DOCUMENTS and under documents was the DEVICES word with my Macintosh under it, this is missing... what have i doneSomehow you've managed to delete it.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
