Since update to later version of Lion, some applications don't work?

Since I updated to a later version of Lion, the following things have stopped working:
-Safari
-VLC Media Player
-Java based things (chatrooms don't work for example)
I did a combo update that someone suggested and this did nothing.
Here are my specs:
Macbook Pro
Mac OS X Version 10.7.4 (11E53)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
I have tried removing VLC and reinstalling but no luck.
Please help? I am tempted to just wipe my Macbook clean and start again but that will take forever to get back and my internet is awful.
I hope you can help!

Facetime doesn't go fullscreen...
As has been mentioned you must be connected to a FaceTime session to be able to enter Full Screen.
... there is no iPhoto option in Address Book...
I'm not entirely sure what you mean but if you are looking for this:
You can find it by double-clicking the photo area in an AB contact. Mine says Aperture because that is my default photo manager.
... the Social Profile and birthday options show in preferences but are aren't working so well...
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?
...I just can't see or use the Versions browser...
For the moment only a few applications support Autosave + Versions. They are mainly Pages, Numbers, Keynote and TextEdit. So depending on what application you are using you may not have that feature available yet. But you can enter the Version UI a couple of ways:
1. Pull down the window name and choose "browse all versions;"
2. Or, pull down File > Revert to Saved.

  • Since updating to newest version, I can't open g-mail and have to use explorer. How can I fix this?

    Since updating to new version of Firefox, I can't open my g-mail-this is sporadically. I have to go to internet explorer and have no problems at all. It is very frustrating and I want to either get it fixed or go back to the old version even though my college I attend does not support the browser.

       Yes, I checked for updates and was given a message that my Firefox was updated and my Lion, too.  I get no error messages with Firefox.  It just won't work.  If I click on a video link, nothing happens, yet if I switch to Safari, it works.  I went to the Firefox website and follow directions for that--turned off proxy--yet, it still doesn't work. 
         As for MS Office/Word, I get a message saying it is activated, yet it never opens.  When I try to open a document, it just keeps taking me back to the registration page where it says I don't need to register it.  It has been maddening.

  • EA Helper crashes since update to CC version

    Hi,
    since updating to the CC version of Edge Animate, i am no longer able to open an existing html file to work on it. I just get an alert saying "Adobe Edge Animate Helper EH kann aufgrund eines Problems nicht geöffnet werden."
    This isn't true for all html files, just for some files. If necessary, i will send the files.
    Regards

    I am running MacOS 10.9.1 on a 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon MacPro (Mid 2010).

    Hi, Holger-
    Sorry for the delay, and thanks for the bump.  I downloaded your file and opened it on my Mac OSX 10.8 machine running the latest version of Animate CC.  It opened just fine and I was able to create an Animation based off of one of the text fields.  What platform are you running on?
    Thanks,
    -Elaine

  • Ever since updating to latest version of Firefox it has been painfully slow on my Mac running OS 10.5.8.

    Ever since updating to latest version of Firefox it has been painfully slow on my Mac running OS 10.5.8.
    Websites just hang, and never get to where they are supposed to go. The status loop on tabs just spins and spins but never loads the site. Go to the same site on Safari and there in a second. It is like dial up slow. Have tried all the troubleshooting tips(reset, delete/re-create profiles, uninstall/reinstall, updated flash) nothing works.
    Firefox had been working fine until latest update. What gives?

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Since updating the new version of Firefox my Memory Card to download photos wont work. Anyone help? (Please explain in simple terms, im a novice) thank you.

    I regulardy used my Memory Card to download pictures, but its only since updating the new version of Firefox it wont read the Memory Card. I have no information on the screen of my computer when I put the Memory Card in.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    *You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    *To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

  • I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event and the number of pictures.

    Hello,
    I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event with the event title, the number of pictures and the pictures itselve as small thumbnails. BUt ounce I want to open the event to see the pictures in full screen the event title annouces 0 pictures and no pictures are visble anymore to mee. I have checked if the pictures are marked as hidden and this is not the case. What's going wrong. All the other events are visible in a normal way.
    The albums with the same pictures into them are visible.
    Thanks for your help,
    Raf

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

  • Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs

    Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
    I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
    Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
    I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
    THANKS in advance!

    Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

  • Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right. On videos or music. There is constant distortion and what sounds like interference. Any ideas?

    Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right--on videos or music. There is distortion and some kind of interference at all times. Any ideas?

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
    If "No," first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Some links don't work in Safari

    I ran a whole bunch of software updates a while ago (funny, after the entire process, nothing actually updated... I had to run it again later), and somehow, in the process, something went wrong with Safari. Now, some links don't work. It's mostly links in the content portions of webpages. For example, things like the Store/Mac/etc buttons at the top of the Apple site work fine, but things like links in forum signatures don't. I have to open them in a new tab. I tried updating Safari, but it didn't fix anything. I've tested Firefox and Camino and they work fine, but Safari is my browser of choice, so this is pretty irritating. Any ideas as to what's causing this and how to fix it?

    You might try installing a fresh version of SafariStand and see if you still have the problem with dead links. I'm not familiar with the 'Quick Search' feature but you could have a look at Glims. Don't try to run both Glims and SafariStand together.

  • I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

    Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
    Anyone help you with your fix yet?

  • To all experiencing burn issues since updating to last version of iTunes

    To all that have been experiencing difficulties burning music since updating to iTunes6:
    After reviewing this discussion board it seems obvious to me -I am not a technician but nonetheless- that the problems that we are experiencing are due to some kind of incompatibility between our PCs and Apple.
    While some here have been very helpful in trying to resolve these issues, I find it disgusting that Apple does nothing. Itunes customer support do nothing. We are left to fend for ourselves, frustrated by the amount of money we have invested in building up our music collections in order fot them to be held hostage because Apple and/or iTunes will not address the issue.
    Did anybody bother reading the software license upon updateing to the earliest version? Is it too early to talk of "class action" suits?
    It seems logical to me that we will be heard better by Apple if we speak as a collective and not individuals. Maybe that way we could put more pressure on them to either fix what needs to be fixed or refund the money we have invested in iTunes.
    As for me, iTunes has already lost me as a client. I won't download any more music because there is nothing I can do with it. That doesn't seem to matter to them. I suppose this is what happens when you get too big for your own britches!
    Any ideas on how we can take down the bully????

    Lost data from iTunes on upgrade? See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
    Restored an older backup to the device? If you're lucky your most recent photos may be in your Photo Steam.
    Otherwise you may need to paint a fuller picture of the problem...
