Lion 10.7.3 widgets and programs

i am using mac keeper to clean up and since the new update osx lists some new widgets under my installed widgets, but i don't installed it. stupid enough i can not erase them and cannot find the files on my hdd BUT they are still listed under mac keeper !?!?!?!?!
further somehow the program boot camp assistant, grab etc. and some others which i installed are grayed out and do not work anymore ?!?!!?
in my opinion this update is at the moment more trouble than fun

Widgets should be found in your home/Library folder in a folder called "Widgets". You can get to the home folder via the Go menu in Finder. Hold the option key down.
Now, as for Mackeeper: Please search these forums for references to Mackeeper. You will find that it is not good software to have, and you don't need any such utilities normally. This software is likely causing many problems for you. You need to remove it. Somehow.

    As Austin Kinsella1 says, it's a good idea to check your program versions.

  • Magic: After installing Lion on a clean HD, all accounts and programs are back

    After I've erased my iMac, I did a clean install through an external USB with Lion 10.7.4. MAGIC: All former user-accounts and programs (include office) are back again.
    What was happened?
    I'm using iCloud and Time Mashine. A few days before, my iMac (10.7.5) had some errors, and than suddenly, it didn't start again. I've tried to reinstall from Time Mashine, but after about 60%, it had quit with an error. It might been an HD error, so I did an secure erase (with Disc Utility). After that, I booted from my USB with 10.7.4 installer and have installed Lion, restarted, and than there it was: All former user accounts and programs are back! I've thought, I has got crazy. But now, I hope, someone can explain me, what has happend.
    Thanks for answers,

    No worries, it was late, I was a little loopy and having a little fun while trying to help. You just keep poppin' away!
    Well we are on the same page my friend haha.
    Good to hear.
    I completed a fresh install of Lion on my HDD and migrated my data over with the migration assitant and all has worked well. Not flawlessly however all problems I encountered I could get past with a little thinking.
    I must say the computer is running so much better now (touch wood, I dont want to post this and have my computer crash xD). No more spinning beach ball, no more waiting excessively for apps to launch. In terms of speed it appears it is now close to the way SL used to be (of course I dont expect it to be on par as Lion is a new OS which is yet to be refined).
    Excellent!
    In terms of battery life I cannot comment, I am yet to use the computer for a period of time on battery. I will report back when I do so, most likely in a day or so (if that).
    I must recommend that if anyone is experiancing slow downs of their Mac after installing Lion, and it is obviously not Spotlight indexing to blame, that they try this. It does appear to improve general speed.
    That is good for many people to know, so thank you.
    I do hope Apple release updates and patches for Lion quite soon, it still has bugs in my mind.
    I have no information on it, but I would bet on it.
    Thanks for all of your help tjk, your a star!
    Wow, those are kind words. Thank you, and you are quite welcome.

  • I upgraded to Lion on my Mac Mini and I'm wondering if I have to pay 29.99 again to upgrade to Lion on my Mac book pro?

    I upgraded to Lion on my Mac mini and I'm wondering if I have to pay 29.99 to upgrade it on my Macbook pro also. Or since both computers are registered under the same account, is there a way to share the program?

    You can download it from the mac app store again on the other computer free of charge. Just go to purchases in the mac app store on the other computer and log in with the same account you used to purchase lion. Then you should see lion listed as a purchase along with a gray box that says INSTALL.

  • I have 2T imac running lion Can I re-partition and use one half as a back up disk?

    Bought a new mac in November and it is refused to start up yesterday. Spoke with Apple  and they said I should make sure I do regular back ups in case I l ose my hard drive?!?! I did a clean install of the Operating software but was advised to erase and install.
    I have taken all my important stuff off and can reinstall my programs once I get to the next stage so what I am wondering is
    I have 2T imac running lion Can I re-partition and use one half as a back up disk for use with time machine so that I do not have to buy an external HD?
    Cheers J

    You could partition the drive, I read that Time Machine will work on if you HD partition.
    BUT, it will do you no good if you HD fails.
    Usually, if a HD fails it's the entire drive that is dead not just a partition.
    So your time machine back would be on a dead disk, useless!

  • Is there a way for F12 to pop up Widgets and not open apps?

    I'm a brand new Mac user with a MacBook. Before I bring up my Widgets I like to clear the screen by using the F11 button. But when I use F12 to bring up my Widgits, it also brings up any open programs behind it such as Safari. It's a little distracting. Is there a way to bring up just the Widgets and not the other apps? Thanks!

    Hi Tiffany:
    You are welcome.
    Ask again, if you have questions.
    IMHO, these are the best on-line forums anywhere - and everyone is a volunteer!
    I have a little boat that I use to float Wintel boxes down to San Francisco Bay - I light them - it is sort of like a Viking funeral (chuckle).
    You will find that even if you need to use a Wintel box in a business setting, you will quickly find that Macs (and OS X) are superior in every way (I do not work for Apple, by the by).

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

  • HT201272 Hi I have a problem to recover files and programs iPhone 4

    Hi  I have a problem to recover files and programs iPhone 4
    Please note that I did backup How can I recovered
    thank you..

    You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
    An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to 10.5.
    An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors.
    10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
    10.7 Lion used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
    10.8 Mountain Lion is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.
    If you’re happy with 10.5 there’s no need for you to upgrade. But realize that you can’t update any applications. Companies like Adobe, Google, Firefox, etc.. no longer support anything less than 10.6.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

    Right now there is pretty much nothing on it, and I cant download basic things.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

  • Fields missing in MPD report after change to structure and program

    I have been working on a consistency report for transaction MPD.
    I had created a structure in SE11 for handling the data.  it was all working, but then i had to go and change the name of the fields in the structure.  Now those fields are missing from the report. 
    When i step through the debugger, all the fields are being populated correctly, but these fields are not displayed on screen.  if i change the field names back in the structure and change the code for populating these fields, they appear okay.
    i have created a custom implementation within BAdi MPD_WKB_REPORTING. 
    i have checked the config and it all points to my Z Structure and Z Table Type.  I have logged off and logged back on!  made sure my code is saved and activated...
    any ideas on how i can display these new fields names/values?
    Just for clarity, the field name has changed. not the linked data type.

    thanks for your response, however those notes and program have not done anything to assist my issue.
    i have found the anwser now!
    within the BAdi was a method i had to amend:  IF_EX_MPD_WKB_REPORTING~GET_ALV_PARAMETERS 
    all fixed now!

  • My 5 year old iMac's hard drive is at the point of failing.  I'm trying to save al files on it, but it wont allow backup via Time Machine to an external hard drive.  How can I keep from losing all the files and programs if the hard drive fails?

    I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
    How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.

    Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
    Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive.  Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
    After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box.  DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
    That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
    You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key.  That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives.  Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

  • I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?

    I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?
    Worse, i can't force quit the finder and get it to relaunch - the command won't work.
    Most of the Lion software also won't work - iTunes, Mail, iCal - and only some of the preferences work. 
    The message:
    Finder quit unexpectedly.
    Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Won't go away no matter if i hit Ignore or Report...
    I have no clue what to do...
    Any help?

    Does that happen if you boot into "safe mode"?  Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem.  If you see a "crash report", post its contents here.

  • I uses Time Machine to transfer files and program from old to new MacBook Pro. Aperture doesn't work. Every time I open Aperture the computer need me to key in Serial number. How do I fix it.

    Hi There,
    I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.

    Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
    Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.
