ScreenSaverEngine says it's opening for the first time

Greetings everyone,
For some reason, starting this morning, I am getting a popup that says "You are opening the application "ScreenSaverEngine" for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?"
If I click open, it disappears and nothing happens. I try launching the screensaver again and the popup comes back. I tried this fix in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2165990&tstart=0 and that didn't work. I can go to screensaverengine.app directly and launch the screensaver just fine. It's when it tries to automatically launch that I get this message.
Any ideas?

Nevermind, a reboot fixed it. by the by, this started happening after awakening the macbook pro from sleep.

Preview always "thinks" it is opening for the first time...

When opening images in Preview, it always says that "Open this document will open the application 'Preview' for the first time" - no matter how many times you open/close Preview, restart, trash preferences, etc. Where does OS X keep track of this setting/information?
Thanks.

Hi Edwin,
no matter how many times you open/close Preview, restart, trash preferences, etc.
* Just to be sure, trash the com.apple.Preview.plist
You will find this in: HD/User/Your_Name/Preferences
Good luck ...

"Application opened for the first time" warning after every reboot

Hello, I have a problem with Lion 10.7.5. The system does not remember that I already opened applications before. After every reboot, every time I open an application it displays the warning as if it's the first time I'm opening it. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In my case, the problem disappeared after I installed the 10.7.5 supplemental update.

My mac is freezing on start up. its brand new just opened for the first time. installed the updates and it froze. can anyone help?

My new mac is freezing on start up. after the initial start up, i did software updates and now its frozen. can anyone help?

If this is really a NEW Macbook Pro and this happened the first time you turned it on and did Software Updated then you need to take it back to where you bought it and RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND. Then decide whether to buy another NEW unit or move on to something else.
Apple has a No Questions Asked 14 day return policy. Take advantage of that and return this unit. This type of thing should NOT happen on a Brand new notebook.

You are opening for the first time, but I'm not

Recently I have been getting this message sporadically with some applications after a restart. Parallels even asks to be re activated sometimes. Also, more often than not after a restart my Safari home page has defaulted back to the apple web site.
I have done a complete reinstall of the OS from the retail SL disk and run the software updater. I have repaired permissions and verified the disk. Lastly I have dumped the com.apple.luanchservice.plst and cache.
Please... any other suggestions. Its a macbook pro.

OK, I can concede this point. You need to disable APE when you do an install or update.
I have gradually got used to the lack of Fruitmenu. For my workflow its main function is available on the sidebar. My objection to the sidebar is that it is on every open window and constitutes a waste of space.
HoudaSpot is an excellent remedy for the loss for the shortcut for find-by-file-name in ML.
Does anybody know of a way to replace the functionallity of WindowShade, which is the only OS9.2 feature I still find indispensible?????????????????????????????????
Apple's minimize function is inferior to Windows because the minimized items are tiny due to sharing dock space with all the other things you have in the dock. However, I think it unlikely that Apple will return the functionallity of the dock back to the Apple Menu and provide a Windows-esque minimization function. This is why WindowShade is an actual requirement on an Apple OS, not just a mere whim.

Working in code view selects whole blocks of text when a page is opened for the first time

This is really annoying feature of dreamweaver, I assume it serves a purpose but I do not know what it is. If I open a document (I generally always work in code view) then select the area I wish to, say, copy and then press control and c, the whole block of code becomes selected (so my selection expands). That isn't what I selected so why does it do this? If I click outside the code view - on to css styles for example - then I can now select the lines of code I want and can work with the code as intended. If I save the document, tab to another document in dreamweaver and tab back again, the same happens. So, everytime I open a document I have to click CSS styles before I can work with the document as intended. I've been working with this for a while and it's go to the point where it makes me cry. It's not quite as annoying as working with the old ftp service but it's not far off.
Help.

I think you're describing this well known bug

Scroller not appearing in the popup when opened for the second time

Hi,
I have a popup window which has three tabs A, B, and C. My tab A has BorderContainer > Scroller > Vgroup
When opened for the first time, I can see the scroller. But , when opened for the second time, the scroller does not appear and the content in th Border container seems truncated.
Please help.

No answers, but I may be seeing something similar.
I'm converting a project from Flex 3 to 4. In a popup (Spark TitleWindow) I have a some TabNavigators. On subsequent openings of the popup, the contents of the navigator children don't always render. After some changing of various Halo components to their Spark equivalents, I thought the problem had gone away. But the problem seems to have come back.
In my case, I'm not sure if the "subsequent opening" is the key issue. Sometimes, the contents of nested TabNaviagtor children don't render on the first opening. although the first child content always renders. But the problem seems to increase in subsequent openings. (I.e. more children of TabNavigators don't render.)
Perhaps not connected, but I notice when this happens, the outside borders of dataGrid components don't render in components outside of TabNavigators. I suspect there's a simple thing I need to to do to fix this, but I haven't found it. Any hints or insights would be welcomed.

When Webdynpro popup is opened for the 2nd time, image is not shown

Hi Experts,
We have created a WebDynpro with a popup window.
This is shown in an iView in the portal.
If the popup is opened for the first time it looks good.
If the popup is opened for the 2nd time the image is not shown and the title is shown with a different font.
If we do a preview of the iView in PCD content area, the title and image is shown and the right font is used: also when you open this for the second time.
If the iView is in a role the problem appears.
How can this be solved?
Thanks in advance,
Joeri

Sounds like a wrong reference to a stylesheet.
Use IE Developer Toolbar or Firefox to debug the code. Or view source (of the popup) and search for .css. Do the same for the popup that doesn't work. Check if there are differences.
Good luck!

For the first time, I'm trying to use adobe premiere elements 10 that came with my pc Windows 8. I created a single project, saved it but cannot open it. My pc shows the file I created but I get an error message that says this type file is not supported or the codex is not installed. As a test, I created another very small project and get the same error message, when I try to open it. Pls give me a simple answer, a refund or a phone

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on? And, what video card/graphics card does that computer use?
Is this the first time you are using Premiere Elements 10 or have you worked with it before successfully? There is no easy solution until we
know the details and troubleshoot to determined what caused the problem.
1. Can you open a new project?
2. After you saved/closed the problem project, did you move, delete, or rename any of the files/folder that were related to the source media
for that project?
3. Please review the Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects.
Troubleshoot damaged projects | Adobe Premiere Elements
4. What are the steps that you are using to reopen this saved closed project.
a. File Menu/Open Project/Name of Project
b. Other
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next based on your further details and results..
Thank you.

I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?

"you are opening application "xyz" for the first time are you sure you want

When working in Tiger or Panther if I click on a document eg: word, illustrator, photoshop, indesign. and the application that is supposed to open this document is not open already. You get a warning message. that says "you are opening application "xyz" for the first time are you sure you want to open it. " Even though this is not the first time the application has been launched. However if you launch the application from the applications folder or from the dock the warning does not appear.
How do you disable this warning or at least correctly inform the OS that the application has been opened before.application
This happens from clean installs and those that have their launch services database cleared the link from document to application survives a logout but not a restart. I know it is a security feature and not a bug but it would be nice to know where this cache/.plist is and why it is suffering from amnesia.
Textedit does not exhibit this behavior across installs but any other app does I get the warning whether it is a user with a l

Hi Mike,
I would think (from your original post) that the document was created in Numbers '08. Numbers 3.2.2 will not open a Numbers '08 document. Hence the message to save in Numbers '09. It looks as though your colleague must export to Excel and send you the Excel version.

Updated to iOS 7, when my phone came on for the first time I could see I had 2 new viber messages. When I went to open viber it asked me to register my number, which I did. Once the app was open I noticed all my message history was gone.

Hi,
I have only just upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and am having a problem with Viber. When my phone came on for the first time after the update I could see I had 2 new viber messages, when I went to open viber it asked me to register my number, which I did. Once the app was open I noticed all my message history was gone...
I still have an itunes backup of my phone just before the update, I restored it to this backup, followed the same process and now viber will not even work (the access code wont sms to me and the phone call option for recieving this code also come up with some error about not being able to do this at this time).
I have been able to access viber using another phone number (I have two sims which I use as I am currently overseas in south korea, my referenced australian sim has worked previously on viber overseas and I definently do have roaming on) but again I have no message history.
So to questions:
1) Why is my activation not working under my referenced australian number?
2) Can I recover all my message history which should be saved in my itunes backup? I am willing to revert to this backup state again if needed.
Please help.
Thanks.

Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.
