Running 10.6.8 OSX on MacBookPro stickies act weirdly?

The stickies app seems to act as if there are multiple databases(?) it is reading because all the notes do not act uniformly. For instance I will be working on a sticky note then click on a different part of the screen and about 1/3 to 1/2 of the stickies disappear and the rest still litter the screen=very confusing!

>I then uninstalled the application...
How did you uninstall? If you didn't use this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/ you didn't do it properly.

  • Thunderbolt display running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 acts weird

    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) connected to a Thunderbolt display running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2. I am using Photoshop CS5 Extended Version 12.0.4 x64.
    About 3 weeks ago when I opened a file and tried to move it up to the Thunderbolt display to enlarge it and make it easier to work on, it disappeared. This had never happened before. Now all PS files behave this way.
    This doesn’t happen with any other apps on the computer including all the other Adobe apps I use.

    I have  similar problem Thunderbolt Display, Yosemite  10.10.2, but Photoshop CC 2014. sometimes I can quit PS and then it will work - or if I launch PS from the toolbar on the TB display, but today I can literally drag it from my Laptop where the file is visible to my TB display and the image disappears. I've even relaunched PS with all the preferences reset and that got it to work one time that it happened but I've only had the computer and PS for 2 weeks so its not like that much could have changed or gotten messed up in that time right? did you find any solutions?

  • How do I run new  iWork on OSX 10.6?Thanks

    How do I run new  iWork on OSX 10.6?Thanks

    iWork is licensed for the system, not the user, so if this user is on the same system, there's nothing you need to deactivate. If this copy of iWork is installed on a different computer and you want to install on this second one, just delete the iWorks apps from the first system.
    Regards.

    Have you tried resetting preferences by holding down Option key and starting Bridge?  Should get reset window with 3 options.  Choose all 3.

    running on a mac osx 10.7.5 and need to import video from a dvd to edit in on final cut X

    I'd try Handbrake. Copy the Video_TS file from the DVD to the Desktop. Then use Handbrake to convert the file compatible with Final Cut X

  • Running 2 versions of OSX at once

    I have my hard drive partitioned and am running Snow Leopard on one (so I can use some older power pc applications) and lion on the other.  Is it possible to virtually run both at the same time?  I downlaoded Parallels Desktop 7, but I don't see how to run another version of OSX with that.  It only wants to run Windows.  Will Fusion work for this, or perhaps another program?  Or am I stuck running one at a time with Boot Camp?

    VMware Fusion v4 will run Lion on a Snow Leopard system (I'm doing this on my Snow Leopard iMac), but not the other way around (as the Snow Leopard license does not allow this, and all the virtual machine vendors honor the license).  I suspect the latest version of Parallels and VirtualBox might be able to do the same thing.
    Your Mac needs to have more than 2GB of RAM, as Lion will want VMware Fusion to create a virtual machine with at least 2GB (which gets locked down, so it is not available for other apps).

  • Possible to run different versions of OSX on same internal HD in iMac?

    Hi All,
    I am a Pro Tools user, and Pro Tools is usually many weeks/months behind in supporting the latest builds of OSX. So while the rest of my computing needs would benefit from immediate upgrade when the newest OSX build is out (i.e. better network performance, security enhancements, etc.) I'm often warned by Digidesign not to upgrade until they've certified Pro Tools works with the newest build.
    So I want to buy an iMac with a large hard drive, and I'm wondering if this is possible: can I partition that hard drive and run 2 versions of OSX on it? Initially they'll be the same build (10.5.5 or .6 whichever it comes with) but on one partition will be all of my programs minus Pro Tools, the other one will only have Pro Tools. I'll upgrade one partition regularly to the newest version, but keep the other partition to the last approved OSX build by Digidesign.
    Is such a thing possible? How would I choose to boot from the other partition, by holding ALT at startup just like I do when I want to boot from an external firewire HD? Would I have to buy a second license of OSX?
    Thanks!

    A new mac, that came with leopard won't be able to boot to 10.4.11. You will be able to view the files on the external, but many programs when opened, e.g. address book, will say that they are not supported on this architecture.
    ADW wrote:
    (including Classic OS 9)
    If this is a separate partition that has an install of OS 9, you will not be able to boot from it. Again, you will be able to view files and even fewer (if any) files will be supported. If you have used an app like monoligual to remove old architecture support then you definitely won't be able to run the apps.
    I have little experience with OS 9.
    If OS 9 is not on a separate partition then I am not quite sure what you mean.

    I would really appreciate if some one can help solve the above issue.

    That is always a classpath issue. Fix your classpath so it uses the J2ee.jar. If you are using an IDE you will have to look up how to add JARs to the IDE's classpath, which is usually not the same as the system classpath.

  • Unable to reload os or Run Disk utility off osx dvd

    Late 2007 Macbook Pro ( 2.53 , 4gb Ram, 320 GB hd) Will Load into osx but has the grey status bar at every boot ( Approximate 10 Mins for full boot) Ran disk utility in osx found issues and says run off DVD to repair the disk. Ran disk utility off the original DVD that came with the mac, wont find the hard drive to run disk utility. try to reinstall the OS. The installer wont find the hard drive? any idea how to resolve the issue so I can re install the OS to remove the grey status bar.

    I can make a partition on the HD.
    You'll have to decide which works best for you:
    -boot from install disc, partition the external HD, install OS X on it, boot from it and see if HD shows up there so you can try to repair it (make sure you don't wipe out your TM data; your internal HD may not be reliable).
    -get DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro or another disk repair utility and see what it can repair (note that these are more expensive than a new HD, but can come in handy to have around).
    -get one of the SMART utilities that supposedly tell you more about your HD (I'm not a fan of either of the ones I've seen/tried and am far from confident in their results).
    -get a new HD and try restoring from your TM backup.
    -get an external enclosure (15 bucks or so for a USB model from newegg, amazon, macsales and others).

  • Help Center is running extremely slow in OSX Lion.

    Help Center is running extremely slow on my MacBook Pro with OSX Lion (8 GB RAM, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i5).
    It takes several seconds to start up, occasionally variable names like "[currentBookname]" are displayed instead of section headings, results update extremely slowly. This has always been an issue but keeps getting worse it seems.

  • BlueStacks (0.3.6.102) won't run on a Mac OSX (10.8.4)

    I downlaoded BlueStacks (0.3.6.102) from http://www.bluestacks.com/  and installed on a Macbook Pro, running Mac OSX (10.8.4)
    I have BlueStacks.app in my Application folder.  However, when i run it,  I get a screen with this message:
    [BlueStacks App Player should not be run from within the disk image. Please run it from the Applications folder and launch it from there]
    and that is the end. Any help much appreciated.

    I have installed and all I get is a welcome screen saying 'Loading'

  • Why is my macbook running slower after loading OSX mountain lion?

    Just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and my laptop seems to be running slower - delayed window filling, etc.  Anyone else notice this problem or have any solutions?  Should I just go in to see a genius?
    TIA,
    ddhall

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
    Otherwise, take these steps when you notice the slowdown.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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.
    Select the 50 or so most recent messages in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Slow running Macbook Air using OSX 10.5.8

    I have a Mac Air running OSX 10.5.8 and its running very slow with the spinning baseball appearing between mouse clicks! What can I do? I have 50% free HDD space and 2GB RAM. Do I need to upgrade to a newer version of OSX? Thank you.

    Hello.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+you+open+it
    In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • You can run Win XP in OSX via Parallels, but how do you run OSX in XP?

    Hey, I have a week old MBP that I've boot camped to run a stripped down version of XP for gaming. I got Parallels so that I could, if I wanted, game while keeping OSX native, but with no DX9 support (and awful DX compatibility in general) it's totally useless to me.
    SO, I thought, why not try to virtualize OSX within XP. I'd want to keep the memory/processor dedications as light as possible, as I'd just be using the virtualized OSX to access iTunes and keep various torrents seeding.
    Any progs you know of?
    Alternately, is there an easy way to get access to the iTunes collection on the OSX partition from within XP?
    Thanks for your help in advance

    Hi 12orphans;
    There is an iTunes for XP. As to whether or not it can access the iTunes library on a Mac I don't know. I try to have as little to do with anything Windozes as I can.
