Problems opening all programs!

Every program I open does not respond immediately. The spinning wheel always appears. Why is this occuring? Is it the battery? I have force quit all programs that were open hoping this may solve the probelm but it hasn't worked. Any ideas?

Sallyando,
this situation could be due to either a software problem, a hardware problem, or a combination of the two; let’s presume for the moment that it’s due solely to a software problem.
Try booting your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Do you still get the perpetual spinning wheel?

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

Nvidia, two monitors, both load, opens all programs on first screen

Hey all,
I have an nvidia GE force 9400GT and using two monitors.
In awesome wm, i get two different screens, almost like two computers shareing a keyboard.
However, in gnome, i get almost the same, but not quite. My wallpaper stretches across both screens, and if i open a program in either screen, it will only load in the first screen,
I don't want one large desktop spread over two monitors, would much rather have two seperate screens.
Am using the nvidia-173xx package
appreciate any advice. thanks

I have two monitors as well. What I am doing is running a separate X server on every screen. This behavior can easily be configured in the nvidia-settings application, on the "X Server Display Configuration" tab. Just press "Configure" and you are prompted for three options. Choose "Separate X screen". Then click OK, "Save to X Configuration File" and restart your X.
What you should note when you restart your X is that your window manger doesn't probably load on the secondary screen without further configuration. I have the following two lines on my .xinitrc file which loads Openbox to both of my screens (which you can use as reference):
DISPLAY=:0.0 exec openbox-session &
DISPLAY=:0.1 exec openbox

Problem opening all iWorks

I can not open any of my iWoks programs. I recently did a clean instal of OSX Lion and now all of my iWorks programs won't open, I ger the following message,
"Numbers can not be opened because of a problem, Check with the developer to make sure numbers works with this version of OSX. You may need to reinstal the application. Be sure to instal any available updates of the application and OSX."
I did try for updates and none were avilable, I also reinstaled iWorks 9. Same problem.
Any suggestions?

Hello Wayne.
Happily, there is no preferences file dedicated to iWork in the System folder (which by definition is reserved to System items).
The iWork preferences files are :
<startupVolume>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork09.Installer.plist

How do I stop Firefox from opening all programs like iTunes and even regular things like my download folder?

I am running on Windows 7. I do not know what happened exactly. My little brother used the computer and tried to uninstall Power Point. Ever since then, everything opens in Firefox. I cannot use the shortcut to my folders. All icons are the Firefox one. I have changed them back but they automatically revert to the firefox icon. I went into the default and changed the programs, but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Keyboard and characters unique problem IN all programs

Hello, thank you reading I have a unique problem with my computer. I have searched a great deal to locate information on my issue with no luck. It is very hard to describe the problem and I figured asking here might be the best idea. I have all the latest update software. I have not installed any new ]programs and this problem just started out of nowhere with In the last week. No wireless keyboard.
First the computer writes capital letters on its own while I type. The letters seem to be only the n, I and s. This goes for every application or text box on the web that I can type In.
Second the left arrow key when pressed types this ]]]]]]]]
Third the right shift key when pressed works, but makes an error beep each time
Fourth the enter key randomly doubles spaces rather than single space when pressed in programs like mail and word.
Fifth the left shiFt key types IIII when pressed
I have done the usual rebooting, repairing of the disk and permissions, emptying cache, restored defaults IN keyboard setting, sticky keys off with no luck. Once again no new programs have been installed. Issue started about the same day I registered for and started using facebook one week ago if that means anything?
Thanks for taking a look at my Issue.

Still having the same issue with my computer hs anyone ever heard of this?

Adobe tries to open all programs and con not be uninstall

Hi, I am using Windows XP and I installed Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 But after I installed Adobe, I could not open any files except the ones on desktop. I can not use any of them from Start or Control Panel. I tried to uninstall Adobe from Control Panel>Default Programs>Program Install/Unistall but still tries to open with Adobe. Is there any other way that I can uninstall?

It seems that the file association for .exe and .cpl may have been corrupted (and are now pointing to Adobe Reader).
Can you open Windows Explorer, or does it give you the same problem?
When did this start? Can you possibly do a System Restore to a date before it started?
This may be quite difficult to solve if you cannot open any .exe or .cpl files.

Problem opening downloaded programs.

I've tried downloading programs like Mojo, Openoffice, neo office but after the download when I click to open the file an error message comes up saying not recognized. I bought my computer 3 months ago. When I download songs or anything this problem doesn't arise.

A couple of things to try:
- Repair permissions using Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) - click on your hard drive on the left side of the Disk Utility window and click Repair Permissions on the lower right.
- Download the program using another browser (if you used Safari, try Firefox, and vice versa)

Problem opening Mail program

After a restart when I tried to open Mail I got the following error message- >>> "problem saving information in mailboxes" <<< and it says to try to restart the program but nothing happens. Each time I have to reboot the computer to try to gain control again. I have tried doing this a few times but it won't open properly.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Stephen

As an addendum, anyone with IMAP or Exchange accounts should be aware of what Apple says about reindexing by this method at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
Note the advice to remove account folders, and let Mail build new ones for IMAP accounts.

Problem opening a program: Iomega Storage Manager

The program Iomega Storgage Manager won't open anymore on my MBP. It appears on my taskbar and disappears immediately. One month ago, it still worked, under Lion. Which steps can I take to acces my NAS again? Thanks in advance!

Deleting the LenovoEMCStorageManager-username file (latest version got renamed Version: 1.4.4.14439) in my ~ (home) driectory worked as well. I'm not exactly sure why the files existence or contents matter. Maybe some detritus leftover from an ungraceful shutdown.
Further I was monitoring the console and there were no erros thrown. Definitely could use some improvement on error reporting under these circumstances.
I have a Iomega/Leveno PX12-350R configured with 12 - 3TB drives and mount a large share off it in 4-5 place. The deivce performance has been great. I've had independent 3 writers/computers hitting it pretty hard and one reading and it performed well. Everything is tied together on 1Gb switch behind the router - ariport extreme.

Problem opening all PDF files

I am suddenly unable to open any PDF file. I get the message that adobe reader has been forced to close. What could cause this. I have repaired the application and have also looked for updates. Says there are none.

What is your operating system & version?
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?

Since up grading to Adobe Reader X when I try to open any program Adobe tries to open it, therefore I can not open any programs now on my computer. I need help very quickly.

I can not open any programs now that I have upgraded to Reader X. It has made Adobe the default progam to open all programs.

Hi Kate,
Please refer to this KB doc. for the solution Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon
Let me know if the issue persist.

Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

Problems opening all programs!
