Hey.

I have a macbook pro 2007 and snow leopard installed. please help!!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
They need a 64-bit kernel. A 2007 MacBook Pro uses a 32-bit kernel, so those programs can't run on your Mac. You can try to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. OS X Mountain Lion uses a 64-bit kernel

When the browser is open the mouse does random things in all open programs, I can close FF and it works fine is there a mouse bug?

Since the last upgrade, when the browser is open the mouse randomly clicks on things changes windows by itself. In addition highlighting things to cut and past is almost impossible... this transfers over to all open programs word, movie maker, audacity, etc... and as soon as the browser is close the problems go away... I am having this on two computers the first is a 32 Bit Vista system with a corded mouse the second is a dual boot 64 bit Win 7 and Linux Mint laptop using a Logitech cordless mouse and built in mouse pad both mouse and pad does this... in both operating systems.
I thought it was a problem with the mice or interference with the wireless receiver or from an Xbox in the same room interfering with the systems, however updated drivers were downloaded and installed on both computers for all three operating systems.

Opening PDF crashes any open programs

Whenever I try to open a PDF (in mail, safari, preview, or Adobe) all my open programs crash. I booted in safe mode and I had no problem opening a PDF.
So, I tried disabling all my login items; I deleted all the pref files, of the above listed programs, from the library; did the usual disk utility, mac janitor, multiple restarts: Nothing. Same problem.
I looked at the crash report and I notice this line:
"KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000"
The x00000 number changes everytime depending on which program I am looking up.
I recently updated Microsoft word and added Extensis Suitcase X1 and I am up to date on all my Tiger updates. Any thoughts? It looks like there is an extension conflict with adobe. If so, how can I access the extensions and figure out the conflict?
Thanks....
Powerbook G4 867Mhz 640 MB ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)

First thing to try is creating another admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If not, then the conflict is within the original user account—usually a corrupted preference file, checkable with Preferential Treatment. If not, then it's system-wide and your best bet is an Archive & Install, preserving user and network information. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120 for details.

Why my LV 8.6 (Englsih version in WIN 7 English OS) can not open programs I developed under LV (Chinese version)

Hi,
I just installed LV 8.6 (English version) in my new laptop (WIN 7 English OS). I found under LV 8.6 environment I can not open some programs I developed using LV 8.5 (Chinese version). These programs are saved in folders with Chinese names (subvis for some programs have Chinese names). If I take these programs on the desktop and chang the Chinese name into number or English name I can open them usingL LV 8.6. However, all Chinese words in opened programs can not be identified.
What should I do?
Thanks.

I was replying into a recent message thread where the user posted a VI that had some oriental characters in the VI name and I was not able to open it as a result until I saved the file and renamed it using normal alphabetical characters. It is not a problem with LabVIEW but with windows not knowing what to do with a strange character set.
The only solution I know is to go change your file and folder names so they don't use chinese characters. You could also try opening them on a chinese version of Windows. Maybe Microsoft has some download you can install that will allow english Windows to work in a chinese environment.

Lion always opens programs by starting even when I uncheck it

Even in the System Preferences / General I uncheck the restore function. After a reboot the unchecked field becomes checked again.
I close mannualy all my open programs before rebooting the Mac but anyway al previous closed programs are starting again.
Who knows what to do?

So, I fixed it...but I'm not quite sure how. I compared, line by line, my about:config with the one on my houses main computer...only did about two screen's worth, but I changed some values to match the other computer and the problems gone!

TightVNC - Can't open programs on remote session

Hi All,
I'm a Linux newbie and have a problem I can't seem to solve. The other day I installed tightvnc and have a server which runs on startup. I have added the following line to /etc/inittab:
vn:35:once:sudo su - brian -c "vncserver :1 -name Brian -depth 24 -geometry 1280x600"
I also have the following in my xstartup file
#!/bin/sh
#xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
xhost +localhost &
exec startxfce4 &
I am using UltraVNC on Windows 7 to remote into my arch box and I manage to get the XFCE4 desktop. The problem lies in trying to open programs on my remote session. If I click on the terminal shortcut, nothing happens. Same with Firefox etc.. I attempted to right click then execute and still no go.
However, I am able to click the filesystem icon and it will open. Also, I can click on logoff and shutdown no problems.
Any ideas?

I use tightvnc as well, but I start it a bit differently (I don't think this is your problem). Have you seen the tightvnc wiki article? I updated it a while ago with the method that I use.
Anyway, I don't think the & mark is needed in your ~/.vnc/xstartup
$ cat ~/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
#exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
I dunno why your mouse isn't working properly if it's not something in that file.

Trouble opening programs since upgrading to yosemite

I am having trouble opening programs since upgrading to Yosemite.

CS 6 or Photoshop 6. CS6 is version 13, Photoshop 6 is super ancient history.
Either way CS6 should work in Yosemite but not officially supported by Adobe any longer.
Are you trying to navigate to a location that is not there like a disconnected drive?
Photoshop tries to remember the last location you opened from
close photoshop
open Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe
find the Photoshop folder or photoshop.app inside the folder, wherever you installed it
hold down ctrl+opt+shift+cmd and click on the photoshop icon as you are holding these down
when the prompt comes up to reset preferences click okay
you can't do this from the dock icon or an alias btw.
if that does not work
create a new admin account,
boot to that account
run photoshop,
if it works there is a problem with your old account and possibly corruption.

My Mac is running slowly and having some glitches in opening programs. How can I clean upspace?

My Mac is running slowly and having some gliches when opening programs. How can I clean up the disk to make it more efficient?

learn how to use Recovery Mode
Don't do anything until you can restore and have repaired the disk drive.
Post should get moved to either ML (10.8,.4) or iMac forum
Swap out the hdd for an SSD : )
Don't do anything to clean it up unless you don't know how to first remove browser history from within the programs; low on disk space (I consider more than even the 15% minimum, more like 3--40%)
And do you have page outs? more than enough RAM? what actually leads you to ask? Programs aren't opening properly?
Sometimes it is easier to take the long road: just reinstall and restore.

Users (no administrator) can´t opening programs...

After installing Mavericks os x 10.9.2, users (no administrator) can´t opening programs (safari, calculator, any other). Only Finder can be open.
I deleted un account, created again, but the same.
Somebody has the same problem? and solution?
Macbook 2009 later. Thxs.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen. How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

Dear Jean:
It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
Open System Preferences.
Choose the Displays Icon
There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
Drag the toolbar to desired display
Let me know if this helps at all!

Open programs on Lion

On my Macbook Pro, I used to be able to do a 3-4 finger horizontal swipe on my touchpad and it would show all programs that were open and had not been shut down completely, the windows had just been closed. With Lion, the swipe I used with Snow Leopard just moves between Dashboard and the Desktop. Does anyone know how to find which programs are open without having to go to "Force Quit" to see what's open?
Thanks

command+tab to see the open programs
Command + Q to quit the programme
I have not yet found a trackpad gesture still.

Before closing down the machine, how can I close all the open programs?

Now that the iMac automauically starts up with the programs in use when closing, I find that this is delaying my start.
There must be a shortcut to close all the open programs before closing the machine.
Kindly advise.

If by 'closing' the machine you mean shutting it down, there is a checkbox in the Shutdown confirmation window which is preset to re-start all apps at startup which were open when the machine was shut down. Uncheck that item in the Shutdown confirmation window.
Unfortunately you'll need to do that each time you shut the machine down.

My Adobe Bridge CS6 default open program has changed into "Window Live Photo Gallery" after uninstalled previous version of Bridge CS5. I uninstalled with remove all prefrenses. How can I get My Bridge CS6 default open program back to Photoshop CS6 ? Can anyone help me please. Thank you !!!

How can I get My Bridge CS6 default open program back to Photoshop CS6 ?
You can set this in the Bridge preferences File Type Associations section. Look for the file type you want to open in PS (e.g. jpeg, psd, tiff, raw) and from the menu choose PS as your default application.
