Program opening
Recently, when I open my Macbook Pro something flashes on the screen. It looks like a program opening but it flashes so quickly I can't tell what it is. I don't know if it is related to the latest Iphoto upgrade that I installed recently, it probably started about that time. How can I find out what it is? I've been getting the spinning beach ball more since it started.
Go to your account options and check Login Items. If something there doesn't look familiar, remove it temporarily to see if there is any change.

Safari won't open web page on my domain with apple e-mail program open
Mail Version 3.2
Imac 2.4 ghz 3 gig ram
Mac OS x 10.5.2 up to date
After installing Safari 3.1, I have had an issue that I thought was going to drive me mad. If I have the mail program open, I cannot access any webpage on my domain. Lets say my domain was vvv.com. If I have the mail program open I cannot access www.vvv.com, no any subdomains on there. If I close the mail program and then just refresh the page in the browser, it works just fine. I have searched thru the forums, but cannot identify a solution. If anyone has an idea for me to try, I would appreciate any feedback and helpful hints. Yes, I know that I can just close the email program, but I am in the process of starting up a business website and having to remember to open my email program every so often is something I don't need.
And by the way, the problem also affects firefox also.
Thanks in advanced..This forum is for troubleshooting compatibility issues between Macs and Windows, not Safari.
You may want to re-post your question in the Safari discussions:

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it…. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?
Remove the check in the box "Reopen windows when logging back in":

Multiple programs open at start up: iTunes, Calendar, email etc...? Why and how do I fix it? Thanks!
When I boot up my computer multiple programs open??? Just started doing it a while back. Not sure why or what changed. It's as bad as having a PC now ;-) Any help on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps” -
Office 2010 Student and Home Edition has been running without problems on my PC since 2012. Recently installed Microsoft Outlook 2013 (The version of Office 2010 did not include Outlook), since then, every time I open any of the original Office 2010 Programs
eg XCEL, WORD, POWER POINT, ONE NOTE, the program opens in 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' which appears to have to be installed every time any of the programs are opened. The Installation process takes anything up to a few minutes to complete and sometimes
when filing or printing a document, the install restarts, on occasions, in an endless loop which requires random,imaginative keystroke action to terminate. The program shortcut icons all point to the 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' application, I have
not succeeded in finding where the original programs are located as a quick way of trying to fix the problem.
The new installation of Outlook 2013 opens normally.
Evidently, the Outlook 2013 installation has disturbed the 2010 licensing or something ellse, can this unintended change be reversed?
Short of a complete Un-install + Re-Install, I have tried every straightforward repair/ change (run All on my computer)/ enter product code etc option, all to no avail.
I have read of variations on the same problem relating to mixing Office 2003/ 2007, cases of Outlook 2013 starting up in a similar way, but no examples of the specific problem outlined above. The next step
is a complete Un-install + re-install of Office 2010, is this the answer or do I need to go further? Indeed, is there a quick fix?Hi,
The Microsoft Office Single Image 2010 is a set of tools, documentation, and product files that licensed original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can use to preload Office on new computers for distribution to end users.
I would suggest you to try the methods listed in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2528748/en-us Just run the Fix-It tool mentioned in the page, or follow the steps to fix it by yourself.
A similar issue is discussed here, you might have a look:

Especially an inconvenient for previous Numbers users as you all know.
any word on New Numbers Tutes at all??
You'd think with a Billion dollars they could make a 10 min clip saying here are changes guys, go enjoy new layout..... Just saying... not.
anyway Hi and any help out there tonight is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Cheers Jason.If the reset doesn't work:

I installed a new 1tb WD hardrive in my mid 2009 macbook pro along with upgrading from 4gb to 8 gb.
My start up disk is still almost full, booting up is extremely slow, and programs open up by themselves once booted up ex:word, excel.
New TB drive shows up alng with 8 GB but, new hard drive not updating somehere? What am I missing? See screenshots belowThanks for the response, but I'm looking for answers to a few of the other answers before I look at completeing the steps above.
1. Whyis the new TB drive recognized in image 1 but still have the original 256GB size still recognized(and almost full) in image 1 also? The HD should now be 1 TB, not 256 correct? If this were the case, the HD, would only be fraction of full capacity, Where is the disconnect between reconizing the installed tb HD but, it not being used?
2.Image Number 2 shows once again that the new tb internal HD is recognized. However, in image 3, the HD 256GB drive is still shown underneath the new HD. Does this show that I am misssing something, some step, related to confirming the new HD should be fully reconized instaed of this old 256 that still remains?
3. In image 4, the SATA heading, shows the TB hardrive, However, in image 5, the 256GB drive is still being shown under the storage heading? Once again, seems like I've missed some simple step to make this all the same?
4.Why is the start up from boot up soooo slow now. I was never even close to this slow(slower than PC startup slow) before the new HD was installed. IS this common when updraging to a new HD? Doesn't seem right?
5. Why now all of a sudden when the computer finally boots up are certain programs automatically opening up, word, excel, when they have never opened up like this before?
Summary: 1. New memory issues, 2. Very slow start up, 3. Programs opening up automatically at startup.
Until I address these issues, I'm not going to worry about loking through and deleting heavy folders.
All responses welcomed! -
How to fix InDesign CS5 install/program-opening problems the "right" way?
After my second install of CS5 Design Premium, I was still having all sorts of problems with opening programs. InDesign was especially troublesome and I posted my woes at the bottom of this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/661059?tstart=0
John Hawkinson (presumably an Adobe employee) kindly replied suggested I start a new thread so he could help me debug properly. So while the iron is hot...I'm ready...let's debug. Can it be done in an hour?
Other comments from John H.:
"You should realize that removing the welcome screen plugin is not supported and can come back to bite you later on. It would be better to fix it properly. Probably by reinstalling InDesign."After about a minute though, the program opened, welcome screen and all...
Oh dear. Well, then I guess it's not stuck.
So, we know it's not specific to your customizations from CS3 or otherwise, since it doens't affect your new user. So it's either something about InDesign's installation on your machine, or something about your machine in general.
I forgot to ask: Do you have any font management software installed? Have you tried disabling it? That has been the source of a variety of problems... One of the things InDesign does at startup is enumerate all the fonts on your system. Do you have a really large number?
How about any plugins for InDesign or other software that modifies its behavior?
I am mostly out of ideas. Your Sample Process output is not very informative to me. It looks like it is in the midst of calls to the operating system (all the CF* stuff is Apple's CoreFoundation code), rather than inside InDesign's code itself. Which could implicate...the operating system's font subsystem, graphics subsystem, or, well, almost anything.
I'm afraid I'm almost out of ideas. It would seem pointless to suggest you replace your preferences, since you started out with a clean user account.
You can certainly de-install CS5 and run the CS5 Cleaner Tool and then reinstall. No promises that it would work, though, it might just be a waste of your time
If you're feeling really exciting, the only other thing (other than the above) that I would try would be to go the Activity Monitor, and choose View > Send Signal to Process and choose Abort (SIGABRT). That will force InDesign to crash. The crash report may be a bit more insightful than the call graph from the Sample Process. Though it'll be frozen at an instant in time, so it might not reflect what's going on during the bulk of the rainbow-wheeling. Anyhow, the relevant section is the "Thread 0 Crashed: " portion and the lines that follow until Thread 1.
I suppose it might be possible to instrument the CoreFoundation calls with dtrace. That's definitely not something I've done and it's probably easier to take out the WelcomeScreen plugin and soldier on. Hopefully something along the way will help before you get that far.
And of course, you can open an official support case with Adobe... -
I got iPhoto '11, version 9.2.3 and want to edit photos using Photoshop elements 10. I have put P'shop 10 as the preferred editor... but when I click on the photo in iPhoto the Adobe p'shop 10 program opens BUT the picture does not open for editing. What the heck... I did fine with the old iPhoto and "Shop elements 6... .
Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.
Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5
The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then download an installer from here:
