Missing Preview, Quicktime, & more after running Cache Cleaning Software

Hello.
I have what is probably a pretty ignorant question, but I do need help.
I purchased a third party app bundle including a cache cleaner. After running it once, I no longer have quicktime, preview, calandar, and a few other apps that came with my iMac. I did a restore from a previous backup, but I still do not have the apps. I could not find downloads since they are basic apps that came with the computer, and I have very little time to research unfortunately.
My question: Is there anything I can do to fix my iMac without taking it into an Apple store?

The only thing you can do to recover your OS X apps is to reinstall OS X. To do it,y ou have to use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting to start in OS X Recovery, choose the option to reinstall OS X and follow the steps. After installing Mountain Lion again, you will recover the lost apps and you won't lose any data.
You shouldn't use cleaning apps because they aren't needed and because they could delete OS X files, as in this case. OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any third-party application

  • Have to run cache cleaner on restart...

    Here is a problem I've been having for too long and should have sought advice for months ago...
    ABout 6 months ago I had a problem in that I would try to open any of the main Mac applications (Safari, Mail, iMovie, etc.) and it would just bounce up and down and then never really start. I can, however, open Netscape and I can open Finder windows and Panther Cache Cleaner. When I run the Panther Cache Cleaner on Medium Cleaning and then restart, everything works fine.
    Basically, I have just stopped shutting down my computer unless I have to do it...no matter what, I always have to perform this cache cleaning upon a restart.
    I know this is not normal, but since I figured out a way around it, I have just been living with it. But now is the time to straighten things out...if anyone has ever heard of such a thing, I would appreciate advice!
    I've had this computer for 1 year, I have 1 GB of third party RAM and I also have a LaCie external hard drive, printer, and scanner attached by USB. Is there other helpful info I can provide?
    Thanks...

    Take a minute and have a look at this link and run the free utilitys..Macjanitor...Onyx...Cache Out
    Before you do unplug all the external periphials..
    If this doesn't do it...It might be your Ram...Cheers.Don

  • Missing stuff/altered settings after clearing cache

    So I wanted to clear up disk space by clearing up the cache. I had not done this before so I did it for the first time. I cleared up the caches from both the main Macintosh HD device and my user name. I went to the Library folder, then to the cache folder, selected all, and put all the stuff in the Trash and emptied it. Then I re-started my computer.
    The problem is, after I restarted I noticed that some things were missing. All my desktop images were gone. Even though they were all the default images that came with the computer, I liked the default space image. The color of the menu bar on top (where you see the apple icon, file, edit , ect.) changed from the default light gray color to now a light blue color. I tried to change the color by going to system preferences and then to appearances. But I only have two choices, Blue and Graphite. When I change to Graphite, there is no difference. Also, all my widgets are gone. I tried to look for those widgets but can't find them on the apple website.
    What I did to try to fix this problem, I inserted the applications install CD that came with the computer and re-installed the applications but the stuff was still missing. I have not tried to re-install  MAC OS X because right now I don't have a way to backup my files. For those who cleared their cache like I did; did anybody have things missing? And how can I delete the cache without affecting the settings of my computer??

    Deleting the cache files shouldn't have had the effects you describe, so I don't know what really happened. What I do know is that you should do no more work with the computer until you have a backup solution in place. Without it, you are inevitably going to lose all your data, and there will be nothing anyone can do to help you. Shut down the computer now. Don't turn it on again until you're ready to connect an external hard drive and activate Time Machine or some other backup software.

  • Missing movies in iPhoto after termination of the software during watching a movie

    Details:
    OS X Version 10.8.5, Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, storage capacity 250 GB
    iPhoto 11 Version 9.4.3 (720.91)
    Following has happened today:
    After recording and transferring movies from the camera to iPhoto I have watched every transferred movie.
    During watching the last movie (about 3 - 5 minutes) iPhoto has closed. I have rebooted the notebook about 3 times. The only thing still there are the 2 folders - but the imported movies are still missing. The program showes "0" entries.
    I would be very grateful if the movies could be retrieved and perhaps the cause could be found.
    Thanks for helping in advance
    Angela

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • ITunes + Quicktime won't run after install

    I did an automatic upgrade to ITunes verson 8 from 7. After the upgrade, neither iTunes nor Quicktime would work. I then proceeded to do a complete uninstall of both items, to include deleting all directories and cleaning the registery so I could complete a fresh install of both items. After the fresh install, iTunes would work IF (and only if) it was started by the installation script. If I try to start iTunes after the installation, windows pops a window that says "Please wait while Windows configues iTunes," after which it prompts to restart the PC. This happens EVERY time. That is, iTunes will run ONE TIME correctly when it's started by the installation process at the conclusion of a fresh install, but it will not run again. Each time I get the windows message.
    Quicktime will not run at all. It gives the error message "Error 41: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control." However, I can open the Quicktime preferences from the Control Panel.
    I get no errors or any indications that the installation process had problems or that the items did not install correctly.
    I'm running 32-bit Vista with SP1.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • Missing with chapter markers after Export Using QuickTime Conversion

    I have my FCE workflow setup as follows:
    I create the sequences using relatively large video source files, in Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
    Then, I use Export -> Using QuickTime Conversion to H.264 Codec, but my chapter markers are lost.
    If I use Export -> QuickTime Movie, the chapter markers are preserved, but the codec is still AIC.
    I need a compressed file with chapter markers. What am I missing?

    One more time: "Where are you looking at the exported file? After making a DVD or somewhere else?"
    Can you answer this for me? How are you looking at this material? Off the DVD you've burned? Is that what you're saying? Comparing the QuickTime Movie export to a DVD burned from a PhotoJPEG export? Or are you playing it from the computer to HDMI? If so are you using the QuickTime player? Is the QT player set to high quality playback? Yes, PhotoJPEG (not JPEG Photo) is a very large file especially at full quality. You probably don't need any more than 75% quality. I'd be very surprised if you say you can see the difference between 75% and 100%.
    The length of the video is important not the size of the disc. iDVD's compression is fixed by the length of movie and the amount of content that has to be encoded.

  • Missing partitions after running Recovery from previous System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

    After running Recovery from a recent Sytem Image Backup the LRS_ESP partition is now missing and the Used space on the  PBR_DRV partition is reported as 95.20MB while it previously reported 9.52GB in use. The WINRE_DRV, SYSTEM_DRV, Windows8_OS and D:LENOVO partions appear to be OK. 
    I ran the Recover after replacing the original 500GB HDD with a 1TB. Any details/links/recommendations on recreating/correcting the LRS_ESP and PBR_DRV partitions? Thanks!

  • Imovie runs choppy after 10.6.5 software update

    Hi all,
    I've been running Imovie HD on a MacBook Pro ever since I got it this fall for college. It has performed exceptionally thus far, up until this afternoon. I downloaded the latest software update, and now when I play project files, or watch video clips they run choppy as if the processor or video card or whatever is cutting frames to keep up with the playhead. Any idea of why this would be? A 2.4Ghz intel duo and 4 GB of ram should be more than enough to handle an Imovie file of a couple gigabytes right? It has up unto this point at least, and I'm very ticked that my favorite program is now running slow, and it makes me now want to use it.
    I tried everything from restarts to disk repairs by Apple Jack, but nothing but setting the video rendering to the lowest quality or whatever smooths out the videos when I play them, and up until today I was able to glide through them at the highest quality.
    Help please?

    Hi
    First thing that runs to mind is
    • Free space on start-up hard disk. How Much ?
    • Movies with lot's of audio clips eg > 50 use to stutter - medicine is to mix down
    audio to one Audio-clip and it'll run smooth again.
    Else
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    • Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • iMovie updated ?
    • QuickTime updated ?
    • Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • Cache Cleaner ruined my menu bar, no longer able to screen shot

    not sure if anyone is familiar with this application "Yosemite Cache Cleaner". i just started using it. tried out the light scan and auto restored my computer then messed my top menu bar... well its off screen i can not see the time or the wifi icon it almost looks like the other half of the menu bar is on another screen by HDMI but in this case its not. i have nothing connected to this computer but my midi controller and a pre amp (always) anyways . i have dropbox and g-drive installed i can see those but any notification that pops up i can only see half of it. so of course i contacted this company immediately. i get a response back they are asking me to "screen shot my problem" so i try to screen shot and nothing happens, my screen flashes once and then the more i tried, the more screen flashed with an error sound. can anyone please help me solve this problem?

    First, delete the fake "utility," which is a scam. Caches don't need to be "cleaned."
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
