Kontact freezes after clicking 'Summary' icon

Hi
I found the following bug using Kontact but could not find a solution to it. I wonder if anyone else has the same issue.
When I run Kontact I get the following error after clicking the "Summary" icon in the top left corner. The application freezes totally and indefinitely. Nothing else is output after this and the window remains open but unresponsive.
kontact(4795)/kdeui (kdelibs): No such XML file "/home/__username__/.kde4/share/apps/kontact/default-.rc"
I checked and -- of course -- the file is not there. I wonder why it isn't. If someone could provide me with a working xml file I could put into that directory, it would be appreciated.
I also get this when I run the application but I also get it running Amarok for instance and Amarok works fine, so I think it's probably got nothing to do with this freeze.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

$ pacman -Q kdepim-kontact
kdepim-kontact 4.9.3-1
$ pacman -Q kdebase-lib
kdebase-lib 4.9.3-1
It's not a very big issue because i really don't need the Summary view. It's just slightly annoying... If it turns out that this is a bug that affects someone else but me, I'd be happy to do what I can to fix it: I'm not a c++ programmer, but I can provide information if needed.

Solved my own problem by booting off the Tiger DVD and running "repair disk" and "repair permissions" from Disk Utility.

Firefox 8 Crashes immediately after clicking the icon. (Won't load safemode either)

Firefox 8 crashes immediately after clicking the icon. It does not even show the windows for a second. It immediately goes to the crash reporter. I tried holding shift while opening firefox to load safemode, but the problem is still there.

No longer able to download podcasts, get an exclamation mark on left of episode listing after clicking download icon

suddenly cannot download new podcasts to my Shuffle. After clicking the download icon, I get an exclamation mark to the left of the podcast label. I tried resubscribing to the podcast with no success.

Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac no longer able to save or save as documents; program freezes after clicking save

Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac 2004 is no longer able to Save or Save As documents. After clicking Save or Save As, the program ceases to respond and must be Force Quit. Any tips on making Word functional again?

There was a second Security Update (v1.1). Did you download that one. It was supposed to have fixed the problems created by the prior update. At least is solved my problems with Quicken 2007 for Mac and AppleWorks 6.

IPhoto '08 (7.1) Freezes when Clicking "Music" Icon for Slideshow

When I try to add music to a slideshow, iPhoto freezes up when clicking the Music icon. How to make it work again (it worked fine before the upgrade).

Monique:
It actually not frozen, just as slow as molassas on an iceberg. It's a result of this last update, iLife Support 8.1. It may take up to 30 seconds but the slideshow pane will eventually open and you can set your options.
Be sure to report this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports on this subject the more likely they will get a fix out quickly.
A similar slowness is in accessing the preferences in iPhoto for many.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why am i getting a shadow type display when i attempt to start up firefox after clicking on icon?

I recently deleted an older version of Firefox that my dad had been using on his user account and i noticed as he had explained to me that when i clicked on Firefox to start it up and make sure its on my computer as a second option to our primary Google chrome default browser, that it opens a shadowy transparent type page. At times seems like it wants to open then goes back to the shadowy page. I recently figured out how to get rid of a hijack homepage portal known as env9.com portal that had attached without my permission to google chrome and notice this same homepage is at the top of the shadowy transparent page when i click to open firefox. I run windows 7 and have a 64 bit version, I've read that firefox isnt all that compatible with this windows 7 version yet and produces several crashes and inconsitencies. That is unfortunate because on my laptop that ran windows 7 i used to use firefox all the time until i started having various problems with it. I figure the startup problem for firefox wouldn't continue after uninstalling older version and reinstalling this new one, but the problem persists. How do i get firefox to open properly again to a normal webpage and also once that is solved how do i terminate the v9 portal homepage from firefox?
-Much appreciated ,
frustrated novice techy

hello, please close all open firefox windows and then press the shift key the next time you're launching firefox. a dialog should appear where you can choose to reset the browser: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
afterwards please keep firefox updated - i don't know where you've read that firefox wouldn't be compatible with windows 7 64 bit. this information is false, firefox should just run fine on these systems, just as everywhere else...

MacBook Pro freezes after clicking 'Shut Down' and won't remember 9600M GT

After choosing 'Shut Down' from the Apple menu my MacBook Pro (1998, 5,1 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) freezes and the Grey Screen of Death appears.
Strangely this only happens when I'm using the lower-power GeForce 9400M graphics card. When I use the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card my MacBook Pro wil shut down normally.
Ever since upgrading my system to Mac OS X 10.6.3 this problem occurs. But since then also other problems arose. After installing Safari 5 my MacBook didn't boot, and I had to zap the PRAM to get the system booting again. Since then my system won't save the 9600M GT setting in the Energy Saving panel. I can logout from the 9600M and login to the 9600M GT, but after a reboot it switches back to the 9600M card.
Today I did a combo update to Mac OS X 10.6.4, but all the problems still occur. Also I did maintenance tasks with 'Cocktail' and 'Maintenance', but that didn't help either.
Also sometimes after choosing the GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, OS X logs out and hangs in the blue screen instead of displaying the login screen.
I hope someone can help me out with this!

Unfortunately the problem reoccured, alltought less. The last weeks my MacBook froze two times.
The report I send to Apple contains the following:
... Sat Jul 17 12:42:23 2010
panic(cpu 1 caller 0x124fc5b): "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED : rdar://7254528"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-2.8.63/k ext/AGCPowerManagement.cpp:849
Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)...
Anyone a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks!

Reader 11.0.4.63 freezes after click (not responding)

Hi,
Windows 7 x64, Reader 11.0.4.63.
When I open a PDF (or even when I just open reader) it freezes when I click the mouse or try to scroll the document.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
I've tried turning off protected mode (found a registry entry from these forums), neither works.
It doesn't seem to be able to load whatever content is supposed to be in the right grey bar?
Any suggestions very gratefully received.
Screenshot as below:

First of all, try updating to the latest Reader 11.0.05 from here

Time Machine freezes after clicking "back up now"

Whenever I click "back up now" to start a Time Machine backup, the top of finder "rainbow wheels" and freezes for good. The only way to get out of it is to restart the computer (relaunching finder does not fix it).
OK, so why not let time machine just back up on its own? It doesn't do that, either - when the time for the "next backup" arrives, time machine simply pushes the time back by one hour (if it was scheduled for 1:00 PM and the time arrives, Time Machine just re-schedules it for 2:00 PM). It does this forever - it won't back up!
The hard drive is a brand new 1 TB that is completely error free. I am running OS X Mavericks 10.9.3.
Is this a known problem? Any suggestions on getting around this?
Thanks!

Wow, thanks for the help everyone!
Just in case anyone else has this issue, I solved it by re-installing Mavericks (not re-imaging/erasing) over my existing installation. I'm guessing it was a bug with finder that was causing it. Time Machine is now backing up without a problem.

IMovie freezes after clicking on AUDIO

What's going on ? I tried the new iMovie HD on my new iMac G5... it freezes as soon as I hit the audio-button. I've tested with the old version4... same error !
Could this happen because I stored my itunes on a external firewire disc ??
Looking forward to your suggestions !

After a major crash of my system and a reboot iMovie seems to be working OK again....
Very Windows-like !
Nevertheless, I am happy it is all working again...

Apple start page after clicking safari icon

Nevermind. Finally noticed bookmark icon at top left. Duh.

Captivate does not launch after clicking application icon

I just downloaded and successfully installed Captivate. And elected to use the Trial mode. But when I click on the application icon, whether in the applications folder or the alias I placed in the dock, nothing happens.
Help please.
Thanks, Chris.

@Arunkumar: Yes, I ran the AM tester and I am able to see the results properly for all the VOs and levels.
I created a sample on the HR Schema and tested. I see that when I click on the Employee node for expansion(can be checked with the data or the short description), it hangs with the load icon.
I do not see anything in the log other than:
<RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.
I do not see any upload options here to give my testcase. So, I uploaded to this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vybip3owzuziz86/HRHierarchyViewer.zip
Please let me know if I can do this elsewhere for easy access.

Firefox 3.6.10 died it will not launch after clicking the icon nor does it launch in safe mode, unknown causes W XP.

(Laptop runing W XP SP3.) Firefox 3.6.10 died, I mean totally dead. It does not launch from any of the icons in the desktop or the quick launch bar, nor does it launch in safe mode either. I uninstalled it and tried with 4 older versions of Firefox to no avail. I defragmented the disk, I ran a full antivirus scan, also ran chkdsk but the issue persists. Looked all over the internet and Mozilla KB but found no answer, nothing that worked for me.
Going crazy because I like my Firefox browser and I can´t believe I will have to use another browser which is not as fast and which I am not used to. Please help me find a solution, I like my Firefox Browser.

The quote below is from a previous thread where several people solved your same problem with the stated technique. Maybe it will work for you. Good Luck.
iTunes 7.0.2 FIX ("Have tried all 'fixes' suggested but iTunes STILL not opening").
1. Uninstall iTunes and QuickTime.
2. Do a search in the C:\ drive for "QuickTime". Delete EVERYTHING that pops up.
3. Restart the computer.
4. Install QUICKTIME ONLY
5. THEN install iTunes......and IT WORKS.....Just remember to install QuickTime FIRST.

I've gone through and used the Adobe cleanup tool to remove both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat and then did a fresh install of Acrobat, but I am still getting the error.
Any suggestions that point me in the direction of fixing this issue are highly appreciated!

Launch the product and activate again.

Clicking on Icon

Icon appears on too;bar but after clicking on icon, email doesn't appear on monitor. I had this problem a month ago with dictionary after installing update downloads from Apple. Never bothered to check into it but now the same thing has happened with email. What must I do to have email appear on monitor so I can view incoming, sent, etc., and send new messages? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
