Should I install Third Party Applications?

Hello Everyone!
Since my mac is messed up with other applications which is used to clean my system (Clean My Mac). Is it safe and recommended to install system cleaners to enhance the system? Because my alternate system cleaner is CCleaner. Could anyone tell me is it recommended to install system cleaner applications? Will system cleaners harm my system? Thanks!

OS X knows how to take care of itself by running some maintenance scripts during the early morning in order to keep the hard drive cleaner, so you don't need any cleaning application. I don't recommend them because sometimes they delete OS X files and you have to reinstall OS X or you lose files, so it's better not to use them

Installed third party applications not showing Application folder?

Hi,
i've installed third party application outside from AppStore. i chosen "Anywhere" option on Gate keeper. however its not proper installation process hence how can i install? if i install third party application which is get .DMG file from some one else and installed. if i install those application its not displaying inside the Application folder on my Mac OS X 10.8.3.
Please anyone suggest me,
Thanks in Advance,
Suresh Balakrishnan.

if i double click on Xcode icon, Xcode application lauched immediatly. however Xcode is not there in the Application folder.
Because you didn't drag and drop copy the app into the Applications folder, so your running it from the DMG instead.
A DMG is basically a disk image volume, like any other seperate hardware volume like a USB thumb drive, a external hard drive, or another partition, except it's virtual and based all in software.
If you don't know your way around a computer you shouldn't be using Xcode to begin with.

Installing Third-Party Applications

My family wants to start downloading some games and third-party applications for our iMac. I am new to iMac system administration, so I have a few questions.
I want to install the download so that they will be accessible to everyone. Does this have to be done in the admin account? What is the difference between an admin or a non-admin user downloading software?

Installing third party application on Trusted Solaris 8

Does anyone know of a procedure describing the steps necessary to install an application into /usr/local/ on Trusted Solaris 8. I've managed to get directories and files created under this by switching between admin_high and admin_low workspaces. However, part of the process requires one of the binaries in a sub-directory under /usr/local/ to write to a file in another sub-directory under /usr/local. I have not found a way for this to successful execute.

HI andouille07,
What application are you trying to install.
Have you tried fallowing this article?

while "Use a shared DVD or CD:" should be on the air.
If you do not see the remote disk on the air. make sure both your desktop and macbook air are connected to the same network over wifi.
If that dose not work you could try making a disk image, and then coping the disk image to the flash drive and bringing the flash drive over to the other computer. assuming your desktop is a mac.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
Click Go then move the Conduit/Library/InputManagers/CTloader file to the Trash.
The same for /Library/Receipts and /Library/Application Support

Installing Third Party Audio Units

Wonder if anybody can help. I have just bought a G5 Dual 2.3 and Logic Pro 7.1 I can not find any way of "installing" third party plug ins. I have checked the ones I have ( Waves Platinum for AU for OSX ) and they are valid for Logic 7. I have put several plugs in Applications , but they are not even appearing in Logic Audio Units Manager. Im probably missing something really simpe here. Im also having the same type of problem trying out "demo" versions of some new AU instruments e.g. X treme FX and MOTU MX4 Soft Synth ( that is appearing in Audio Unit Manager but will not open, so maybe its not valid for Logic yet?) Pleeeeeeease Help. Thanks. Paul

Hey Paul & Welcome!
I don't quite understand what you mean when you say you can not find a way of "installing".
You should have installers for your AU's. If you doubleclick one of those, it should take you through the installation process. Apologies if this is what you have done, but I become a little suspicious when you say you have "put several plugs in your Applications folder". This is sometimes the right procedure when it comes to installing certain applications (e.g. Reason), but rarely or never the case with plug ins. You need an installer.
Now, If indeed you have gone through the installation process, it is still possible that the plug in question won't show up as available. As you rightly point out, it may be rejected by Logics AU Manager.
Check in your following folders:
HD/Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components
and,
Home/Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components
wich is were your AU's are supposed to be located.
If they are not there, they are not installed. If they are there, they should be scanned by AU Manager and be validated or refuted.
When you have checked the folders, you can open Logic and run AU Manager and check the status of your installed AU's. The ones that have failed or crashed can still be selected by checking the little box, with the risk of making Logic unstable. You will indeed get a warning every time you open logic, telling you how many failed AU's you're currently running.
So, check for installers, check your component folders and cross reference with the AU manager.
Again, sorry if this is at a beginner level for you, I could not quite make out where you're at.
Good Luck!
Erik

ALL third-party applications crash upon save, open, or save as

Okay everyone, this is an odd one.
I recently installed photoshop CS6. However, when I try to save my documents in CS6, CS6 freezes, then crashes without an error report. The same thing happens if I try to open or 'save as' a document. However, if the document was created in Gimp, I can right-click the image in finder, click 'open with' Photoshop, and then something weird happens - File>open still doesnt work (but I don't need it to, as I've opened the image I need) File>save as still crashes - but File>save and Command-S work fine.
I've spent the last few weeks searching for an answer on the adobe forums and found nothing that has solved my problem. And then, something else happened.
Today I installed Python 3.3. Brand new, fresh installation. Started up my IDLE and typed in some code, then hit command-S.
The same thing happened - Python 3.3 froze, then crashed, also without an error report. The exact same symtoms.
This got me thinking, so I opened up Openoffice 4. This had been installed on my mac by my school's ICT services, and had never been opened before - a fresh installation. Once again, saving a document in openoffice 4 also caused it to freeze, then crash.
So, I took my mac into the ICT department and got them to have a look at it. They recommended repairing my disc permissions - which I did - and then, if that didn't work, reinstalling Maveriks.
I'm currently typing this on my mac, having spent the last 3 hours downloading and installing a fresh copy of Maveriks, and still I have the same problem. Any third-party applications freeze and crash when I try to save.
As I am the only user of my computer, I always run applications from an administratior account. Creating a new admin account hasn't helped.
All of these applications work when I'm running in safe mode.
My educated guess is that it's something to do with finder.
Whenever photoshop CS6 crashes, it's when a finder window should appear - for example, so I can choose a name for my new document, or select a document to open. But if the image was opened with finder's right-click, open with Photoshop, then CS6 doesnt have to open a finder window. If the image has already been created, CS6 doesnt have to open a finder window when I hit Command-S.
But I have no clue how to fix it.
This guy (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16595546#16595546) seems to have a similar problem to me, and he fixed it by moving all his items off his desktop. I've done that, but the problem persists.
Adobe (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/crash-using-open-save-dialog-mac.html) suggests that my viewing options in finder could be the problem. I've tried the solution described in the article above, and the problem persists.
Please, I need to be able to use Python and CS6 for my schoolwork! Help me if you can!
Help me, (your name here), you're my only hope!

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

Third Party Application Called TuneUp Lost Ringtone Icons/Ability to Buy

Okay, I purchased and installed a third party application that is supposed to help iTunes get album art and other things. All was going well until i did their latest, greatest update and now I cannot see any Ringtones icons in the field that shows if ringtones are available in iTunes purchased songs. I still have my "purchased ringtones, but I don't have the ability to purchase anymore on songs that are eligible.
I've uninstalled TuneUp, reinstalled a fresh version of iTunes, but still not joy. How to I burn iTunes to the ground without losing my entire music library?

Right that is the point. I had a whole slew of eligible songs purchased from iTunes in my library that now are not available for purchase. For example I just purchased two songs that have the icon in the iTunes store. After I purchase them the icon in the "Bell" ringtone column is not showing for the songs that should be eligible. The only recent change I've made is this third part application. So I am thinking this has messed with my library somehow.

Reinstalling OS 10.9 and third party applications

After trying the many suggestions given here and still having problems with too many "applications quit unexpectedly" I have decided to reinstall 10.3.9. I would like to anticipate what I face by doing this---lost passwords, etc??? Also, how do I identify what are third party applications? Not usually a conspiracist, but five times this pm when i have tried to visit the votenader site, a crash has occured within seconds after I get to the site lol.

Panthetic,
Web browsers, such as Firefox and Camino compatible on 10.3.9, are still being updated by their developers to keep pace with changing web standards. Safari is being updated but not for 10.3.9 and it's version of Safari (1.3.2 is the farthest that a Panther user can update).
Camino will feel very similar to Safari and can be customized to feel even more like it but the benefit is that it will function on sites that Safari 1.3.2 can no longer handle (Google Maps etc.).
Personally, I would leave Safari and Firefox alone on your Mac for now as it's nice to have a backup browser if you have any problems with another that you are using (ie. Camino). If your available disk space is that low perhaps trash one but hold on to at least one spare browser.
If you suspect a third party application of causing system problems I would look first to applications that embed themselves or intergrate more fully into the system. Applications that perhaps add a menubar icon or a system preference pane of it's own. Those would more likely cause problems with the system than a browser I should think.
Can you not remember which apps you have downloaded as third party applications?
"As before, how do you identify which ones are?"
I don't have a method of determining original installed apps that came with your computer. Alot of that depends upon what model you have and what software was bundled with it originally. I'm from the school of "if I don't know for sure don't mess with it" so you don't stand the chance of messing up the system. If there are particular apps that you have questions about deleting you are probably wise to post back and ask before deleting them.

Third party application forcing java stack to restart when logged in through SSO

Hi
We have APW Third party application installed on Enterprise portal 7.4.
When we tried to login APW portal through SSO it forces Java stack services to restart.If we use APW directly without SSO it works fine.
Can you help me tto resolve the issue.

Hi Manish,
Please check the configuration once agian about the third party connection and the portal.
Also provide the "dev_server0" which under in directory /usr/sap/SID/J00/work and default trace which under in “/usr/sap/SID/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/log" to analyze the issue. There is some other tool as well to check the issue using "httpwatch" log tool. But, mostly issue can be identified in dev_server0 or defalut trace".
Thanks,

How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi. How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share? I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up. I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
Thanks,
KMQ7

This would really be the "Holy Grail" right now. I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application. In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment. For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link

How do I disable auto-launch of third party applications (i.e. TeamViewer) at startup?

I've loaded a few third party applications like TeamViewer which installed themselves as startup applications which I cannot disable in the system preferences login items. The obvious answer is don't load these apps but that being said, how do I disable them now that they are loaded without uninstalling to prevent them from launching automatically during startup. I can quit them after they launch but I'd like to prevent them from auto-starting during startup. Any insight would be appreciated.

Look in TeamViewers preferences for this:
Uncheck it.

My third party applications keep de-activating. How do I fix this?

Hi everyone!
I am wondering if anyone can be of help to me. I am desperate.
I upgraded to Mavericks and am currently on version 10.9.5.
I have numerous third party applications...to name the two important ones,
most of them are video effects from New Blue FX and the other ones are just like converters etc.
I have had no problems with them in the beginning when I upgraded to Mavericks and
certainly no problems before Mavericks. Now all of a sudden, every time I try to use
these applications, it keeps saying that I am running on trial version and that I need
to activate the product with the activation code. This has never happened before and
it certainly has not got to do with a certain app as it is happening with all my applications
that require an activation code. I have to keep activating the apps everyday so that I can
use them and it is becoming really annoying and I don't know how to fix this.
I am sure it is something simple as my computer has been absolutely GREAT since
I have updated to Mavericks. Everything has been so much faster and just amazing until
this new problem. This is the only problem I have. I have checked and I have done ALL updates.
I am a video editor and I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and these continuous activations are
really not helpful for me when I am trying to concentrate and use my effects.
But like I said, it cannot be just the effects I use for adobe as applications that
are not associated to adobe at all are being affected as well.
If you guys could help me, it would be greatly appreciated!
I am really desperate! By the way, I am working on an iMac with Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.5.
Thank you so much!

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
