Follow the first instruction in this URL, or see what I did below from this tutorial:

1. Go to Spotlight, type "Terminal"
2. Click on the first link to open the Terminal app
3. Type
killall Dock
4. Close Terminal and Launchpad should be friendly again.
Hope this helps!

If that does not work try resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Right (Command) click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock and see if you can select Quit there or if you get an iPhoto not responding message. If you do get that message you'll have to the the  ➙ Force Quit... menu option then figure out why iPhoto is stalled.

Hello tomivie,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are having some unexpected behavior from this app you got from the app store.
I would recommend the troubleshooting in this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you may be asked to purchase the app again. Learn more about downloading previously purchased items.
7. If the issue is still unresolved, contact the developer
If you continue to experience the issue, contact the developer of the app for further assistance:
Find the app in the App Store.
Open the app's page, tap Reviews, and then App Support.
All the very best,
Sterling

Indesign CS4 suddenly crashes down when I click on "edit" or try help. Can anyone help?

Hello,
I am still using Indesign CS4 (Version 6), so far no problem, but since new Macbook with Yosemite several Problems, also with Illustrator.
I cannot print from Indesign, so far just printing the PDFs, thats possible.
Since today I cannot use the software at all, as I cannot click on "edit" anymore. The software immediately crashes down when I click.
Searched the internet, someone told sth about "Zusatzmodule", but it also crashes down when I search for sth in the "help".
Can anyone here help me?
Kind of devistated, because its my business, need to work with InDesign...
thanks
P.

I'm sorry to say this but Yosemite and CS4 are incompatable. You're now five versions behind the current on InDesign, and CS4 was never tested with Yosemite.
You should seriously consider upgrading to either CS6 (perpetual license) or get a Creative Cloud subscription for your business.

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.

How to make a button stay down when I click on it in CSS nav bar.

So I have created a horizontal navigation bar, I use the CSS
Sprites/Pixy method to get the hover working with the same image as
the link/in active stage of the buttons.
Now how do I make the button stay down when someone click on
them?
These are the codes for the nav bar.
#nav{
width: 780px;
list-style: none;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
padding: 0;
height: 40px;
#nav li{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;
padding: 0;
#nav a{
width: 125px;
display: block;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
background-image: url(ZITTO_IMAGES/button_set1a.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center 2px;
padding-top: 14px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
background-color: #000000;
#link2,#link3,#link4,#link5,#link5,#link6 { margin-left:
6px;}
#nav a:hover{
background-image: url(ZITTO_IMAGES/button_set1a.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center -36px;
color: #FFFFFF;
width: 125px;
padding-top: 14px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
background-color: #000000;
Everything works so far, the hover works when you roll the
mouse but when you click the button goes right back.
How can I make it stay down and then go back to normal when
you click on another link/button?
Thanks very much.
Patrick

Read my suggestion again. You are missing a critical point. I
show you
exactly where to put the stylesheet. And it doesn't matter
how many
stylesheets you have on a page.

Hello there, averypamby.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to sharing/exporting your video in Motion:
Motion 5: Export a QuickTime movie
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH16623
Export your project as a movie file
Choose Share > Export Movie (or press Command-E).
Choose an export format from the Export pop-up menu.
This menu provides a list of codecs.
Choose an option from the “Open with” pop-up menu:
Do Nothing: The movie is not opened after the export is completed.
Open with QuickTime Player: The movie is opened in QuickTime Player.
Open with Compressor: The movie is opened in Compressor (if installed on your system).
Choose an option from the Include pop-up menu: Video and Audio, or Video Only.
If you’ve set In and Out points in the Timeline, use the Duration pop-up menu to choose whether to export the sequence or the portion between the In and Out points.
To specify additional Motion-specific options, click Render.
For more information about options available in the Render pane, see Render settings.
To see details about the file to be output, click Summary.
Click Next.
Enter a name and choose a location for the exported file, then click Save.
Motion renders and saves your movie.
Important:    The Export Movie command does not use background rendering, so you must wait until rendering is finished before you can continue to work in Motion.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

If your iphone 3gs just shuts down when theres something wrong with your hardware,is there any possible way to get all your pictures back?

if your iphone 3gs just shuts down when something went wrong with your hardware is there any possible way to get all pictures or other important stuff onto itunes?

What happened to the phone. Did it just go black? Did you try to plug it into Itunes and see if it can be seen or throw it on the charger. You can still try the reset procedure listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and see if the phone turns back on.
The only way to get things back is to have backed them up ahead of time.

Illustrator shuts down when I click drag on an object.

It doesn't matter if I open the file in another version... It doesn't matter if I copy out the content and paste into a new file... Illustrator continues to shut down when I click drag on an object. Is this a keyboard issue? Or a program issue? or a combination?
I have plenty of memory on my computer.

After being on Adobe Chat support all morning, we uninstalled and reinstalled the program (outside of the cloud -as re-installing from the cloud produced the same error in the software).
When having this issue, it did not matter what object was selected and moved. It did not matter what file I was in. It did not matter if I created a new file.
