Mysterious WIKI Error (wikid won't launch)

I became convinced that wikid was running into a bad plist on startup,
but the error log didn't name any files. It just said XML parsing
error at line 1 character 0, so what I did was modify the python code
that was referenced in the error to output the file names of whatever
it was trying to read. The results were interesting. Wikis start by
reading the wikid.conf file, then all the theme plists, then
caldavd.conf which is actually part of calendar server. Caldavd.conf
is the final file that wikid tries to parse before exiting, but it
opens just fine in property list editor! No corruption. Do you have
any other avenues for me to explore?
Thanks, David
I don't know what this error means: "Failed trying to build an index for a non-directory path: '/usr/share/wikid/help/fr.lproj'"

Issue: Wikid server would not launch
Error: "Failed trying to build an index for a non-directory path: '/usr/share/wikid/help/fr.lproj'"
Solution: Installed leopard server on an external drive and copied fresh versions of the help files to the production server

"An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)" when launching Time Machine

Hi! When attempting to launch Time Machine, I get the following error:
The operation could not be completed
An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)
My machine is a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon running 10.5.8
What's strange is that Time Machine DID work just the other day. It would launch automatically when I plugged in my external HD (Maxtor One Touch) though I didn't set it up to back up yet. After I reformatted the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Time Machine started giving me this error and won't launch. Any ideas here? Thanks!

When you reformatted, it got a new UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier), which may be confusing Time Machine. Try just reselecting it, per +Time Machine Preferences.+
If that doesn't help, try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.

There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

ITunes Won't Launch: Error -50

I've just installed iTunes 7 on both my PowerMac and PowerBook both running 10.4.7 and the new QuickTime 7.1.3. On both computers, iTunes would crash after I launch it and click on "Agree" in the license screen. When it crashes it says iTunes won't open because of error -50.
Help would be appreciated.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I will check back so I can find out what to do should this happen again.
More possible bad news. If you had followed what fane_j had asked you to do you might have found out it wasn't microsoft's fault for your problem and wouldn't have had to spend $150. Because while you may have an Office that works, fane_j was not suggesting a solution but probing for a trojan (google "flashback trojan") that has been crashing powerpc code which is what Office 2004 is.
So if you do have the trojan, while you can run a version of Office, the trojan may still be in your system since installing a version of Office isn't going to remove it. So I'll make another request. Launch Terminal (in your Utilities folder) and copy/paste the following line into the terminal window and hit return:
defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment
If you see anything other than a "does not exist" error message you almost certainly do have the trojan and post the results in this thread.
The choice is yours. You can ignore this and take the risk. Or do what has been requested.

CSS 8.3 in Win7 won't launch - error re: css_admin.exe Entry Point not found... Help

New install of Win7 / all Win7 drivers installed & working
Except... during launch of CSS 8.3 (w & w/o patch installed - tried both ways), an error window pops up with:
css_admin.exe - Entry Point Not Found (title bar)
(Red X in window)
The procedure entry point
??0LocalFileFormatTarget@xercesc_2_7@@QAE@QBQAVMemo
ryManager@1@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link
library xerces-c_2_7.dll.
?? What is all this stuff mean ??
(the underscore is NOT present in the window, by the way...)
HELP! Anyone have ANY idea what the above lingo is re CSS and why it won't launch without popping up a window with this error, whatever it is??
I'm days into this reinstall and this is my "last" hangup / called support and they won't touch it since i didn't BUILD it with Windows 7 from them... just don't get this mindset. Only spent 5 digits (around $20,000 +) with Lenovo so far last year / may be the last dollar - I've run into many issues with support lately, for one the T61p I have has had 2 sys boards swapped, processor, 2 keyboards (after "loose screws from sys board swap" were found rolling around inside - yes, loose) among many other issues / only TP I've ever had issues with / want to stay with them, but if I have to fight city hall to swap out a lemon, heading out into the wild blue.

Try the following user tip:

I cannot get iTunes to launch, and receive this message:
"The iTunes Library .tl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "music folder"
I've repaired and removed it and still the same message appears. I've done both when asked to "fix" or "remove" and it goes through the process, however it still won't launch, and the same error message appears.

Solution 1
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
Solution 2
Quit and reopen iTunes. If the issue continues, then restart your computer.
Solution 3
Quit iTunes, temporarily disable the anti-virus security software on your computer, then reopen iTunes and try to sync your device. If iTunes successfully syncs your iPhone or iPod touch, consult the anti-virus software vendor.

Updated iTunes to 9.2, now application won't launch - Error #13005

Help! I just updated my itunes to 9.2 and now it won't launch. An error window comes up and tells me it's due to an unknown error # 13005? I tried re-installing it to fix it but it still won't. Please help. I'm on the white 13' Macbook, running OS X 10.6.4. I have my itunes library in my external HD. Dying to get this fixed any help would be appreciated.

try these user tips:
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and, if you have flip4mac installed
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

IMovie4 won't launch, Error code 1000?

I closed and saved a current project, trashed some old projects, and now on attempted launch:
"the operation could not be completed
an unexpected error code 1000"
no launch, no bouncy-bouncy icon, nothing.
please help

Quit iMovie.
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie2.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder.
The files are located here:
Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie2.plist

My apps won't launch & menu bar missing all top left icons!!!

A strange concurrence of multiple problems:
I am a pretty advanced user and have an iBook G4/1.33 GHz running Tiger 10.4.8, but I am having trouble with my PowerMac G4/500 MHz running 10.3.9 right now. I keep my PowerMac in Panther since it is almost 7 years old and I only have Tiger on my iBook disc.
Suddenly a few things started to happen at once yesterday:
1) NONE of the top right menu bar icons (OS 9 status, modem status, iChat, monitors, AirPort, Volume, clock, etc. show up upon log-in or restart.
2) Virtually NONE of my apps will launch from the Dock or the Finder. They bounce a few times then give up, with no error message.
I peformed successful repairs booting from both the OS X Panther disc and TechTool Deluxe. Although recommended, I can't create a TEST User because System Prefs won't launch, can't repair permissions from the problematic drive because Disk Utility won't launch, and I can't clear out caches because Cocktail won't launch.
I made sure the Application Support Folder in my Home Library had read/write permissions for me and applied to all enclosing folders as suggested. I tried trashing the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist preference in my Home Library also as suggested. However, it wouldn't allow me to remove the Launch Services file in the Caches folder of the main Library Folder as I also read here in the discussions.
Aside from successfully running disc repairs from the startup disc and TechTool, I tried repairing permissions from the startup CD as well (since couldn't launch any apps like Disk Utility from regular startup drive). Every time I try to repair in this manner though, after a minute it tells me "Disk Utility lost connection with Disk Managment" and I must quit and relaunch Disk Utility. However, same thing happens when I do, for both my drives running copies of OS X 10.3.9.
Only thing I can think of is to do an Archive/Reinstall of one of the two OS X systems on two different drives. But does anyone else have a clue what is causing this or what I need to try??? I read similar stories on here but nothing will all these symptoms at once.
I would REALLY appreciate some input, thanks!!!
PowerMac G4/500 MHz (1 GB); iBook G4/1.33 GHz (1.5 GB) Mac OS X (10.4.3) (still using 10.3.9 Panther on PowerMac)

Menu Bar Problems ..........
Check the following link for OS X troubleshooting steps. When doing so, following all steps in the order provided:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
1 If resetting permissions doesn't help, you may have a corrupt preference file... Delete....
Delete ~/Library/Caches (folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string
• Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
• Removing systemuiserver.plist will cause the right half of the menubar back
its original pristine default state.
2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
- Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Preferences" folder to the desktop.
- Restart and test your applications.
• If this does not work, move the "Preferece" folder back to ~/Library
• If this works, delete the old preferences folder. (You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them).
3. Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Fonts" folder to the desktop.
- Restart and test your applications.
- If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
( A likely suspect is Time RO, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
4. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
- Navigate to ~/Library.
- Get Info (Command + i) on the "Applications Support" folder.
- Open the "Ownership & permissions" flippy triangle.
- Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
- Click on "apply to all"
- If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
Note...The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
• Create a new User.... go to System Preferences/ Accounts and click on "+" at bottom left of window..... and test the apps in this new account if they work the problem is isolated to your User
(~ means your home directory)
