Is there a programs that can scan my Mac and fix errors

I need a program that can scan my Mac and fix errors

It would be helpful to tell us exactly what errors you need to have fixed.
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.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
See if the above helps fix your "errors."

    Do you mean Entourage? It appears you have Office 2004 or older. Those are PowerPC apps only and will not run in Lion or later. If you need access to those emails like, "RIGHT NOW!", then I would suggest purchasing Office 2011 for Mac. Outlook is the new Office email client in 2011 and can import your older Entourage data.

    Hi champrider,
    You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -
    OS X Mavericks: Allow access using Apple Remote Desktop
    This help page will provide you with some other useful resources for Apple Remote Desktop -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Well... it's not actually an iTunes or even an Apple question is it? But you can use either Shazam or Soundhound.
    If you do a search for both of them, you will find the various options available to you, which include apps for portable devices and in the case of Shazam, a work-round that allows you to use an online option using your computer's microphone on either a PC or Mac.
    There may be other services as well, but I know these two.
    I do not receive any reward (financial or otherwise) as a result of mentioning either Shazam or Soundhound.

  • Is there a program that can view .indd files?

    Besides inDesign or inCopy, I mean.  I'm aware that there are programs that will extract the preview thumbnails from the file, but are there any that will view the .indd file itself?  My manager doesn't want to spend the money on a copy of inCopy for all of our users, but wants to give people the option to view .indd files currently in progress.

    Greetings! Matheau from Code Line here.
    Our product, Art View for Mac (formerly SneakPeek Pro), allows you to preview InDesign, as well as Illustrator, ASE, Freehand MX and others from Quick Look. It doesn't require you to have InDesign installed. For InDesign docs, it uses the built-in thumbnails which can be quite good if configured properly before saving. We talk a bit about getting better previews with InDesign on our blog.
    Here's a link if you'd like to see how it works:
    Thanks!
    Matheau
    P.S. We also have SneakPeek for iOS offers previews for InDesign and Illustrator as well.

  • Is there a program that can open .desktop icons?

    Hi.
    I am 15 years old and have downloaded a game thats called Planetside 2 with the program wine and winebottler. It installed perfectly and leaved a icon thats named Planetside2.PSG.desktop. I didn't exit the window until the planetside 2 have uploaded everything. After one day I decided to play Planetside 2 but I couldn't open that icon. Not even my winebottler couldn't open it. Is there a way or a program that can open that. (I do not want any suggestions buy virtual machines because I don't have a disk reader that can run cd´s).
    The way I did it.
    1. Installed Planetside 2
    2. Created a desktop icon for shortcut. (There also came a sort of document Planetside2.PSG.ink)
    3. Waited Planetside 2 to upload ( I went about 3 hours so I went to bed).
    4. Next morning, tried to use the shortcut (Planetside2.PSG.desktop) to launch it.
    5. Searching if there was anything more installed in the computer and I couldn't find anything except that desktop icon.
    Well there is one opertuntity that works but it takes a LONG time because I have to install it again and click the repear option to even open Planetside 2.
    My computer is a Macbook air with operating system OS X 10.8.4. (its not mountain lion but it was no more option).

    Thanks, I should talk to the support and now I know where my game is! I had the problem to find Planetside was one of the problems and it was in a windows c:drive that is almost impossible to find (Spotlight and Finder searches doesn't work). But I found a program that can find EVERY single program which is OmniDiskSweeper. It calculates every folders and programs size and lays a display on how much spaces it takes on your computer. If anyone have problem to find the windows C:drive I can guide you like this:
    Machintosh HD>Users>Your computer name (Which would take a lot of gbytes)>Library(Its probably here the folder Library doesn't show up)>Application Support>com.yourcompany.yourapp.??>there is your windows c:drive!
    Maybe in some computers it doesn't work but it worked for me how I found my C:drive. I was using a program called wine so that maybe explains the dissapering. Wine laid it on the C:drive.

  • If I reset my iphone (errase data and settings) is there any program that can recover information or deleted photos?

    I'm asking this beacuase I want to sell my iphone 4 and before I will errase it, but I want to ensure that the next user will not be able to have acces o recover information such as deleted photos from my phone, I know there are programs that recover deleted stuff from your iphone but do they work after errasing it completely?

    I'm not sure how flash storage works, but there's usually a very decent way of making sure no one accesses your data: first, erase your phone. After that, fill it with crap - you can use iTunes or whatever, and just either fill it with rubish images, or better yet videos (that you don't mind anyone recovering later). Then erase it again. If someone runs a recover data program on it, they will only find the last data you inserted.
    Make sure to completely fill the iPhones available space with crap.
    If you are really nervous - again, not sure if this is necessary for flash storage - but you can repeat this process a couple more times (erase and fill with crap), just to make sure. One time should be fine, though.

  • I have an iMac which I had loaded Parallels and Windows 7.  I recently uninstalled both programs. How can I delete all related files?  Is there a program that will find related files and delete them?

    I have an iMac on which I had installed Parallels and Windows 7 so I could some of the creativity software I was used to. I recently uninstalled both Parallels and Windows. How can I clean up my hard drive by making sure stray files from those programs have all been deleted?

    If you followed these steps to uninstall Parallels (you simply drag Parallels to the Trash), that's all. Parallels is a quite clean application that does not create a lot of files in different folders.
    However, you may still have the virtual machines you created in Documents folder. If you want to remove them, open a Finder window, select Documents in the sidebar and remove the Parallels folder

  • Is There a Program that can compress tracks and Cds into one long tra

    I have a couple long audio books and I would like to have it all in one track.

  • Is there a program that can replace entourage?

    I tried to install entourage to my computer because i got a new macbook, and to my suprise now i have to have a premium account to use it. And i dont feel like paying the 30 dollars for it, so if someone knows a program to replace entourage or how to trick entourage could you please let know/
    Thanks

    See this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3441932&#3441932
    Mail, iCal, Mail Labels, and Addressbook can easily replace Entourage for most any POP or IMAP account. Entourage doesn't require a premium account. It works with plain POP or IMAP as well. But as the above post illustrates it is a risky way to store your data.

  • Is there a program that can delete duplicate emails

    I was doing a sync on my MBP and got panic when all my emails in my inbox disappeared. I quickly jumped on my iMac and made a duplicate copy of my inbox only to have it copy all of them back into my inbox. Short of the long I now have 11,000 duplicate emails in my inbox. Any suggestions how to get rid of the duplicates without manually going through 11,000 emails?

    "11,000 duplicate emails in my inbox."
    *Good grief!*
    Check over on VersionTracker, MacUpdate and/or do a Google search.
    Good luck!
