Received Alert after installing X11

Hello all-
I've just installed X11 off of the Tiger install disc and all seemingly went well until directly after the install and I got this alert:
Alert
You have an existing ~/.xinitrc File.
Windows displayed by X11 applications may not have titlebars, or may look different to windows dispalyed by native applications.
Would you like to move aside the existing file and use the standard X11 environment?
I have no idea what a ~/.xinitrc file is and if it might be important. I've looked for it in the computer and in the forum and no luck. So, what should I do? I am trying to use Gimp (my first time for that as well). Basically I need to know if answering YES to this is potentially going to screw with another application I have installed on my MBP, and there are many. Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick responses you guys. All seems to be running well now. Littleshoulders your link to Macworld was just the fix I needed, so thank you. And Grant Bennet-Alder you were totally right about the update, I never would have checked for it automatically otherwise and I'm sure it will be needed shortly. Now I can play with Gimp to my hearts content. I'm a happy woman.
Once again, the Apple Support Forum to the rescue.
Thanks

  • Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4

    Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4.
    All email accounts are still fine and not lost but ever since I installed iOS6 I cannot send any new email and I am not receiving either. That includes my Exchange, Yahoo  and Hotmail. I didn't loose any old email in my Inboxes.
    Can someone help please. thanks.

    I am having a similar problem.  I have iPhone 4 with the updated iOS6 and a Hotmail account.  Mail had been working after the update, but I noticed that wasn't really pushing my mail like it used to before the update.  I wouldn't get notifications after the update and when I open the Mail app, it would take much longer to download emails.  I decided to remove my Hotmail account and then re-add the account to the phone to see if that would fix the problem.  No such luck.  Now I have zero emails in my inbox on my phone when there is new email sitting in my Hotmail inbox on my laptop.  I've tried to delete and add the account multiple times now while rebooting the device and nothing changes...I've looked into other fixes mentioned here that say to change the settings on cellular date, airplane mode, push vs fetch, etc. and nothing is working.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Receiving error after installing TimesTen update via "Check For Updates"

    After applying the automatic update, I'm getting this error every time I start SQL Developer:
    SEVERE     131     0     oracle.dbtools.raptor.timesten.TTAddin     Cannot find TimesTen JDBC jar files in CLASSPATH

    I'm guessing that you have not installed the TimesTen In Memory Database?
    I got the same error because I have not installed TimesTen either.
    You can easily disable the extension by Tools -> Preferences ->Extensions and uncheck the TimesTen one.
    If you have installed TimesTen, I think that you need to add the jar files to your classpath environment variable ;-)

  • HT203242 iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

    I have the solution.
    Uninstall Itunes.
    That is what I did and my disc burner works fine. I am gonna wait for Apple to come up with a solution. So if there is no solution that means no Itunes which means no Iphone or Ipod and time to move on to a comany that has solutions not year old posts that most people cannot decipher and won't be able to fix on their own.

    +Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2510.+
    +Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.+
    By any chance, do you have a copy of Daemon Tools installed on that PC?

  • Wac discovery has failed Alerts form all mailbox/cas servers after installing CU5

    Is anyone else seeing this alert after installing CU5?
    Everything works normally.. Just the odd new alert.
    Each of the 6 servers issues this alert about once a day.
    Will simply setting the WACdiscoveryEndpoint clear this up?
    Like this?

    We do not have OWAS and do not integrate it with Exchange, so we do not need to monitor health of this item.
    After checking exchange health I decided to disable monitoring for
    WacDiscoveryFailureEventDiscovery by editing xml file.
    Browse to %ExchangeInstallationPath%\Microsoft\Exchange\V15\Bin\Monitoring\Config\
    and edit WacDiscoveryFailureEventDiscovery.xml file by changing:
    the line
    Enabled ="true" /> to Enabled ="false" />
    Save the file and restart the Microsoft Exchange Health Management service on the server where you modified the .xml file. There should be no downtime applying this change and restarting the service.
    This needs to be changed on all servers.

  • Vf_vmnic linkstate alerts after vMotion

    We upgraded our UCS infrastructure from 2.1 (1f) -> 2.1 (3c). Ever since we've started receiving linkstate down/up alerts from vCenter whenever a VM is vMotion'ed. We're not doing high performance / DirectPath I/O.
    I understand with the nature of dynamic vNIC's, these linkstate changes are normal with a vMotion. What I don't understand is why we only started receiving alerts after the upgrade. I've had a case open with Cisco TAC for more than 2 months, they can't reproduce the behavior - though their test environment is running 2.2 and they don't want to downgrade.
    Does anyone know how to suppress these messages? Either from the UCS or ESXi side of things? We get a couple dozen emails each day due to this from vCOPS, and unfortunately vCOPS notifications aren't flexible enough to weed them out. I've been told vCOPS v6 contains a complete retooling of the notification system, but the beta isn't due until the end of the year.
    Thanks,

  • ISE advanced eval license alerts after full base install.

    Has anyone had an issue with the advanced eval license triggering the below alerts after a full base license has been installed and the advanced eval license has expired?
    How can I keep the license expiration warnings and avoid receiving warnings for an expired eval licence?
    This is on Cisco ISE Software Version 1.2.0 full running on a ISE-3315-K9. There is no requirement to go to a full advanced license.
    License Expiration
    Details :
    Advanced License expires in 30 days
    Description :
    The License installed on the ISE nodes have been expired or about to expire
    Suggested Actions :
    Please contact CISCO Account team to purchase new licenses
    *** This message is generated by Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) ***

    Gary,
    The way to supress this message is to disable the License Expiration Alarm.
    To do this, go to Administration > System > Settings.  Choose Alarm Settings from the Left Menu.
    Scroll down and select Licensing     |       License Expiration  from the list of Alarms.
    Click the Edit Button and use the dropdown to change the Status to Disable.  Click Submit and you're done.
    I would then set a Calendar reminder through Outlook (or on your phone) to enable this feature once the expiration date for your Advance License has passed.
    Please Rate Helpful posts and mark this question as answered if, in fact, this does answer your question.  Otherwise, feel free to post follow-up questions.

  • Calendar alerts on every device after installing Mountain Lion. How do I stop this? Tech support acted like I was the first person this happened to. Anyone have the solution?

    I have Calendar alerts on every device [Mac/iPad/iPhone] after installing Mountain Lion. How do I stop this? Tech support acted like I was the first person this happened to. Anyone have the solution?

    Well, whichever device you uncheck = exclude from calendars (and reminders) via iCloud will be excluded as both, receiver and sender. It's an "all or nothing", I guess. Otherwise it'd get more complicated, and the support calls could easily fill an extra forum...
    @lmp68: don't think iTunes is it, in the days of iCloud that would sure take quite an extra effort, if possible at all.

  • TS3147 After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"

    After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"  This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

    Solved problem with original Canon software.  When I downloaded Canon software upgraded for OS X 10.8, I got all by Navigator Ex. Noticed that on Canon's site, the upgraded version is 3.1; my app was 2.1. Upgraded to 3.1 for Nav. Ex, and it works.
    You should still use Image Capture IMHO.  If it was my gear, that's what I would do.  No need to worry about software upgrades.

  • After installing ios 6 to my iphone4 and my daughters iphone4s we now get each others text messages. How can we disconnect from each other so that I don't receive the text messages from her and her friends and she does not receive mine?

    After installing IOS6 on my iphone 4 and my daughters iphone 4s we have this wonderful connection that we would like to break.  We are now seeing/receiving each others text messages.  I love my daughter but I don't really want to get all of her text messages from her friends and I don't really want to read every response she sends.  Additionally, she can also see my text messages and there are times I really don't need for her to know everything that I am doing. 
    So It is time to cut the cord we need our own seperate texting.  I am not sure what we did to have this happen but how do we undo it?

    Get your Apple ID sort out.
    Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC.  I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

    After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7).  I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034.  Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest".  I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted.  The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

  • After installing FF 5.0 I am receiving a list of incompatible Add-Ons. I go into 'Extensions' and click to remove them, exit FF and lauch FF again, the same incompatible add-ons list appears. Is there a way to permanently remove the old Add-ons?

    After installing FF 5.0 I am receiving a list of incompatible Add-Ons. I go into 'Extensions' and click to remove them, exit FF and lauch FF again, the same incompatible add-ons list appears. Is there a way to permanently remove the old Add-ons?

    Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
    I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)
