  • Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

    Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

    Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
    Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
    "There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
    The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
    Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
    So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
    Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
    Thanks for the ideas!

  • IPod service manager will not start after installing iTunes 10

I've removed reinstalled, wiped the registry reinstalled and deauthorized, removed and reinstalled from several different downloads. I have full permissions fo rservices and am administrator.. We now have three other units in teh office with the same issue.

    Don't know about fixing PitStop. However, have you tried a simple repair on Acrobat. If Acrobat won't open you can do that from the Programs and Features menu (Add/Remove Programs in OS prior to Win7).

  • My hp4530 will not print after installing Yosemite

    After installing Yosemite my printer will not connect because it is not "found" by my macbook pro.  I re-installed the driver, but that hasn't worked.  What else can I do? I've restarted, unplugged . . . all the obvious things haven't been successful.

  • ITunes will not start after installing newest version

    After installing the newest version of iTunes, I click on the iTunes icon and the license agreement flashes on the screen and disappears before I can click on the agreement. I am running Windows 2000 professional edition. Quick time will also not start. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, with and without firewall software running. Nothing seems to help.

    hi Rachel!
    No error messages, nothing. The hourglass is next to the mouse for about 3 seconds.
    okay, if it's not NIS 2005 related, let's first check up on this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
    ... but by the sound of it, you might need to check on this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
    if it turns out to be a weird start-up item to blame, would you mind letting us know what it's called? (there's a hint that there's a new kind of malware out there causing "the flash" and possibly some other start-up problems.)
    keep us posted.
    love, b

  • My mac book will not start at all

    Suddenly my mac book pro will not turn off.  first it started with the computer cutting off rather than going to sleeep then it started cutting off while I was using it.  I became worried that there was a problem and went to back up the hard drive on an external hard drive but suddenly the computer would not start at all.  before that happened i would get the gray screen with the dial and a bar underneath.  Help!

    See if these support articles help:

  • Itunes will not open after installing yosemite

    I installed Yosemite and have tried to repeatedly. Get my new Itunes 12 to open but it refuses. It will not make any indication that it is attempting to open. I have tried to reinstall it a number of times and it still will not open.
    any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    I've encountered the exact same problem.
    iTunes wouldn't start up at all, even tough it had the correct version.
    By browsing to the applications contents and running the itunes exec it would work.
    Also running it through Terminal would work. But simply not by clicking the iTunes.app
    However i've fixed it! by manually setting read and write so that you can delete the iTunes.app. (for a tut see http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/)
    Then manually Install iTunes again by downloading it at http://www.apple.com/nl/itunes/download/
    Then it worked fine with me! Hope it helps.

  • Pages, numbers, iPhoto, iMovie and keynote will not update after installing yosemite and yes I have the original disk

  • Wiki Server Will Not Start After Installing Safari 4.0.5

    *PLEASE HELP*
    We have a production server running MacOS X Server 10.5.8 with all software updates installed.
    Wiki server refuses to launch, though launchd tries to open it every 10 seconds.
    When visiting www.domain.com/groups/community we see an error 503 in the web browser
    *Steps Taken to Correct*
    % sudo chown -R 94:94 /Library/Collaboration
    % serveradmin stop teams && serveradmin start teams
    Restarted the machine itself
    % cd /Library/Collaboration && find . -name '*.plist' -exec xmlwf {} \;
    *Those steps proving ineffective, we're now just trying to start over. We've removed all user generated content from the wiki directories and we just want the wiki server to launch successfully.*
    Removed "groups" and "users" directories from /Library/Collaboration
    Replaced /etc/wikid/wikid.conf with /etc/wikid/wikid.conf.default
    Deleted /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/directoryIndex.db
    Deleted /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/User Preferences/* (all user preferences)
    WHAT AM I DO WRONG? HOW CAN I GET A FRESH WIKI INSTALL WITHOUT REINSTALLING THE OS? This is a production server. We'll have to go without wikis rather than introduce downtime. Thank you.
