Just installing non compatible apps frys the computer?

I have been using leopard since day one and it has worked just about trouble free. I installed lots of apps I knew where compatible during this time period. I decided to move all the apps I had on a drive with tiger to my leopard drive and ended up being stuck at the stalled blue screen on start up.
My question is did the non compatible apps cause this? I thought a non leopard compatible app would just not work when you tried to launch it. I didn't think just the mere presence on Leopard would goof things up.

When I migrated my old apps to Leopard i simply got a "note" that some would not work, Virex being one of them.
I have since tried to run it - it runs and stalls.
I have also tried to run Sherlock - it gives me a message - "Sorry, Charlie but ...."
There may be some 3rd party apps, though, that initialize on boot and may cause a blue screen.
Most apps only run when you start them, but not all of them. Some Epson printer and scanner apps for example install a program that runs on boot and looks for activity.
I suggest you look in your startup programs first and then check your logs to see what's going on.
A "Safe" boot might get you through the bluemeanies.

  • Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

    What kind of noise?
    The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • I'm running out of hd space on my MBP with Mavericks. How do I move my Photoshop 5 app off the computer for more space. How can I store the PS5 app on DVD or on my backup hd for a future reinstall on my next Mac?

    I'm running out of hd space on my MBP with Mavericks OS. How do I move my Photoshop 5 app off the computer for more space, and store the PS5 app on DVD or on my backup hd for a future reinstall on my next Mac with larger hd?
    Thanks

    slaglejrp,
    perhaps it would be less expensive to just install a new disk with a larger capacity on your current MacBook Pro, rather than plan on buying a new Mac with a larger disk? Once your current disk has been cloned to the new disk, and the new disk has been installed into your MacBook Pro, that would allow you to keep Photoshop 5 on your current MacBook Pro.

  • Just installed Yosemite (MacPro15 End 2011), the fan is working on high speed since! any solutions?

    I just installed Yosemite (MacPro15 End 2011), the fan is working on high speed since!
    Is there anything I can do? On Maverick the mac worked just fine and very silently, so I assume that the new system does something wrong?
    Can anybody offer some help?

  • How to do a clean install go yosemite and then just install certain files, apps, documents, phopt's, etc...from time machine backup?

    How to do a clean install of yosemite (have Mavericks 10.9.5 now) and then just install certain files, apps, documents, phopt's, etc...from time machine backup?

    Do a backup before doing anything.
    If you want to make a clean install of Mountain Lion, boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on a restart, use Disk Utility to Verify/Repair  the disk and run Repair Permissions. Then erase the hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format using the Options button. Reinstall Yosemite. Restart normally and test. Use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to import what you want.

    I was just scrolling through my apps when the screen suddenly froze. A force shutdown didn't work and when I pressed the silent on/off button, there was no vibration either. The frozen screen faded to white with a few lines and about 10 minutes later, the edges started to turn black, forming a ring which got larger till about 4 hours later, the screen turned completely black. I tried connecting to iTunes but it wasn't detecting the phone and I can't do anything with it now... When it turned completely black, I charged it and after a while, the low batt screen came on but it was fuzzy and flickering with the white ring... What to do know ???????

    Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.

  • Re-arranging apps on the computer? Great New Ability!

    Are you enjoying the ability of re-arranging apps on the computer rather than having to do it on the iPhone? I sure am. Of course you have to have iTunes 9.0 and the iPhone 3.1 software update but it's finally here! Tom

    Ok ... I must be doing something very wrong here. I have been trying to arrange the App icons on my phone both directly on the phone and using the new feature in iTunes ... I have the same problem each time ... I move an App from one line to the next and it moves other Apps that I have just put in place ... It's like the most frustrating sliding block puzzle that I have ever played!!!
    Is it an IQ test set by Apple to ensure that iPhone users are clever enough or have I just lost the plot?

    Video no longer plays from sites on comedy central.  Site says browser must be updated, but I have installed all updates and restarted the computer..twice.

    If it is any consolation this started happening to me today. I am in Toronto. I am wondering if there is a copyright issue here. I have done nothing to solve it - mostly because I suspect this has nothing to do with my computer.
    p.s. My speculation about copyright is not correct. Comedy Central plays fine with Google Chrome. Have not yet tested Firefox.

  • Would you recommend installing and creating apps in the apex install schema

    Would you recommend installing and creating apps in the apex install schema for e.g. apex_040100? Or would you rather a separate tablespace be used for the application objects? In addition to this we are integrating it with Oracle EBS? Are there any industry best practices for creating tablespaces and schemas for apex applications?

    A BIG NO!!!, you should be using separate schema's

  • I just installed firefox; when I click the icon, nothing happens.

    I just installed firefox; when I click the icon, nothing happens

    In case you haven't solved this by now...
    Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
    Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
    You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
    After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.
