Neither Appleworks nor Office will run

My daughter's MacBook (OS 10.5) will launch neither Appleworks nor Office. They start to run, but then immediately quit and she gets the "quit unexpectedly" message. Text edit and NeoOffice both run fine.
I trashed the plist file and cleaned the recent items and autosave but the programs still wouldn't run. I have also repaired permissions.
I would guess this is a font issue, but font book shows no fonts with serious problems.
Any suggestions as to what I can do?
Thanks for any help/advice.
Dave

AppleWorks has more than just a plist to delete. See this user tip for more information.
As for Office, I don't use it & can't help. Maybe you can find help in the Microsoft Office forums.

I just upgraded from Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

Try downloading the updates from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and install them manually.

I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link. Neither Safari nor Firefox will work. If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview. I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

I'm going to re-state this. Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE. Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it. The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem. The problem lay within the Update. Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website. This happens on both Safari and Firefox. If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview. This is happening only on my iMac. My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Does this help with Firefox?

X200s tried to add webcam - now neither webcam, nor thinklight will work

Hi all,
So, as the username hopefully indicates - a newbie to the x200s, which I bought recently, though I've been using thinkpad products for a few years now (a devoted fan!)
My x200s did not come with a webcam and, since I am thousands of miles from home, I reckoned I would try and install one manually. Note that I have swaped its HDD for an SD & changed keyboard in the past with no problem, so I was assuming (foolishly, perhaps!) that vaguely knew what I was doing.
I followed the instructions and user experiences on this thread, I purchased this camera - and got off to work.
Even though everything seemed fine when adding the camera to the system, a strange thing happened after I rebooted (I run Linux Mint 16): neither the webcam, nor the thinklight were now working. After lots of testing, I assumed I must have just destroyed part of the cable during installation, and so I purchased this cable (Lenovo ThinkPad X200 LCD Video Cable 44C9909) and tried again. Same result! The only difference is that the first time round, an "lsusb" command on linux would return a Ricoh product (and I assume that's the webcam), but it would still not be recognised by Mint, while now, there's nothing. In both cases, the Thinklight didn't work.
Since both the thinklight and the webcam come out at the same end (see the right end of the cable on this picture) I am assuming, of course, that the two are related.
Would anyone know which of the clips on the left end of the cable on the same picture, above, correspond to the webcam and the thinklight?
Thanks for reading, and any response and thoughts on the above would be most appreciated - a little bit at loss at to what to do now.

Hi,
perhaps HMM and Service Video might help.
Be sure integrated camera is enabled in the BIOS Setup menu.

Neither aperture nor iPhoto will start after osx lion upgrade

Anyone have any good ideas how to remedy this??? PLEASE? Off on a long trip through South-East Asia and really need to be able to get photos off my cameras...Thanks!

You're going to have to give us a lot more information if you are to get any help on this.
Version of Aperture to start with, did it ever work after the upgrade to Lion, hardware configuration, what version of the OS were you running before the upgrade, etc.
Any and all information plus a clear description of what you did ad what you have tried will all help getting you an answer.

Neither Bridge nor MiniBridge will start in CS6

Just downloaded and installed CS6, but Bridge will not run either as a standalone from the Windows menu or from inside CS6. Get the Window blue rotating circle when it tries to start and then after a few seconds it dies. No indication it is running in Windows Task Manager. Any ideas? I have 8GB of Ram and 2 SSD's. Everything is installed on C:

Kill those processes that you are seeing, including any plugincontainer.exe, only once firefox has stopped running should you try to update it.

Neither Bios nor Windows will recognize my 970 4G Gaming

Hello all: I've been struggling over the past 14 hours trying to get my 970 GTX Gaming GPU recognized by Windows 7 and my Krait SLI Bios. It goes to the default Intel 4600 Graphics. Neither Gaming App or any of the drivers will recognize the card. I know it's powered and mounted because the lights and fan are on. I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong at this point. If I connect the HDMI cable directly from the Graphics card I won't get any visual on the monitor, so I've been using a VGA connector from the mobo to get picture while still having the the GPU connected to the monitor. I'm confused.

Problem resolved. Just had to re-seat the card and use a single cable from the GPU to the monitor.
Simple fix! Those are seriously the best!

Neither google nor yahoo will search from the homepage

Typing in a search on either google or yahoo does nothing, it simple says page cannot be found. AOL will search. Also anything already on yahoo homepage will open when I click on it.
So I downloaded Firefox today and it still will not search. I type in anything on the Firefox search box and it says it cannot find the site

If there is a problem with the build-in about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the about:config page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

Neither Pages NOR Preview will open

I recently upgraded to ML, but now both Pages and Preview will not open. When I try to open a file, or open the actual application, they look like they're going to, but then they just bounce in the launch bar for ages and I get the nice little rainbow spinner.
Pages I don't think ever has worked since the upgrade, but Preview stopped right in the middle of using it one day and I had to force quit it. I had one image open in it, and tried to create a new document from clipboard, which resulted in it hanging forever with the little spinning rainbow ball, and I had to force quit. Since then it has never opened. Like Pages, It bounces and bounces and never asks me to restore windows or anything. Then it stops bouncing and the little indicator remains under the icon in the launch bar indicating it's open, but if I have tried to open an image, there are no windows for it open. I have tried repairing permissions and restarting without success.

Ok, backtracking a little... because Preview is being stupid again. :-) It opens, but I get the same mess happening again every time I try to save an image. Throwing out the plist file for preview makes it immediately able to open files again. All I have done is crop an image and try to save it or export it. The export command does not even come up. The menu highlights as if it is going to but no dialog ever comes up. Preview at the same time becomes utterly unusuable. I have to force quit it, throw out the plist, and start again.
OK I trashed the Iwork '09 folder in application support. (I still had an Iwork '08 folder in there too and I trashed that.) Starting from scratch, reinstalling, then updating. If this doesn't work, then my husband is thinking, since Preview (something awfully integral to the OS) is so messed up that the next step will be backing up everything, wiping the drive and starting the entire OS from scratch. Sigh.

My iPod touch (3rd generation) won't turn on and neither iTunes nor windows will recognize the device!

Today my iPod touch (3rd gen) fell onto the floor and the screen turned black. It was almost put of battery anyways so I wasn't exactly worried.... But when I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't. It wouldn't hold a charge. I tried hooking it up to the computer and windows pops up a message like "cannot recognize device" and it doesn't show up at all on iTunes. I've tried holding down the both the home and power buttons for 9 seconds. I've tried to enter DFU mode. Nothing seems to work. I could really use some help because I DONT want to buy a new one and I'm definitely not under a warranty. HELP!!!!

Try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

Socket stuff... Connection works but neither client nor server will receive

Okay, here's the deal...
I have a serversocket and a clientsocket in the same program. I have the client connect to 127.0.0.1 and the server accepts a connection. Both server and client make a thread to listen to one another. Then the server sends something to the client. The client doesn't catch anything. When I use the client to send to the server, the server also doesn't catch anything. Also, when I add the line "System.out.println(fromServer.readln())" after the connecting instead of in a separate thread, it gets totally weird and starts jumping back and forth between lines within the same try block. The line order gets random and some get executed twice. I'm using the IntelliJ software to program / debug. The application always gets stuck at the line I mentioned before. . I have no idea what the hell is going on. Can any one please please help me? =(
P.S. I could add the code but I'm not sure what to add and if I added all of it it'd kind of be a lot so... if you need to take a look at it tell me what parts you want or if you want the full thing or whatever. I don't see a way to attach files to posts =p otherwise I could have attached the project.

try this:
Client:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class client
     Socket soc;
     DataInputStream in;
     PrintStream out;
     public client()
          String str="";
          try
               soc = new Socket("127.0.0.1",5432);
               in = new DataInputStream(soc.getInputStream());
               out = new PrintStream(soc.getOutputStream());
               while((str=in.readLine())!=null)
                    System.out.println(str);
               in.close();
               out.close();
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println(e);
     public static void main(String args[])
          client obj = new client();
}Server:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class server
     ServerSocket ss;
     Socket soc;
     DataInputStream in;
     PrintStream out;
     public server()
          String str="";
          try
               ss = new ServerSocket(5432);
               while(true)
                    soc = ss.accept();
                    in = new DataInputStream(soc.getInputStream());
                    out = new PrintStream(soc.getOutputStream());
                    out.println("Connected !!");
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println(e);
     public static void main(String args[])
          server obj = new server();

Neither LR4 nor 5 will import

Had version 4.2 working just fine until last week when it stopped importing. Program does not even show external drive in available folders. Bought LR5 and updated to version 5.2. Same problem. I can view from Windows Explorer or Irfan View. If I try to import from other source, I can see the folders but when I open the folder I get an error message that says no items match your search. What am I doing wrong? I need to get this figured out as I'm a sports photographer and need to get 6 games processed and posted. Thanks!

It doesn't show external drive?
Is the drive letter A or B? Lightroom doesn't find drives with letter A or B, you'll have to pick something else.
