Since upgrading to Tiger Stuffit no longer works.

Since upgrading to Tiger, Stuffit no longer works. I cannot send an email with file compression selected, because it gives me an error message: The action could not be completed, an unknown internal program error has occurred.
I had been using version 9, but on the advice of Allume tech support, I uninstalled it, downloaded and installed Stuffit Deluxe 10.0.1. Twice. There are no error messages, as the program simply does not open. It is available in the dock, when I double click it, it will bounce once or twice and appear to be opening, and then stop bouncing. If I drag a file onto the icon, it bounces twice and then stops, no compressed file is created. If I go directly to the application folder and open the application, it looks like it will open, it places an icon in the doc for a split second, and then it goes away. Stuffit Expander, however, works fine.
Allume has stopped answering my inquiries because they can't figure out what's going on. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Prior to ugrading to Tiger did you repair your hard drive and permissions? Did you do a true Upgrade install or an Archive and Install? If you did an Upgrade install what version of OS X did you upgrade? If you did an Archive and Install, then try reinstalling Stuffit.
To repair the hard drive and permissions do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Upgraded to Tiger, iTunes no longer works

I updated iTunes when it popped up in Software Update a week or two ago. I upgraded to Tiger tonight from 10.3.9. Before the update to Tiger, iTunes worked fine in 10.3.9. Now it does nothing at all. When I click on the icon in the dock, it bounces once and then nothing.
I found on another post where someone suggested trashing the com.apple.iTunes.plist from the Users>Library>Prefs folder. No luck there either. I haven't moved any of my music or the library for the exception of backing it up to a external FW drive.
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I've downloaded and installed iTunes 7 from VersionTracker. That did the trick!

Ibook G3 upgrade to Tiger (Airport no longer works)

I have had my Ibook G3(384 MB ram, 20 GB HD, 600mhz, dual USB 2.0, 1 firewire, OS X 10.2, Airport)for over 2-1/2 years without any problem. I also have been using Netgear wireless router with 2 laptop pcs and 2 Apple computers (Imac G5 2Ghz, 2Gb ram, 20" and this Ibook G3) for over a year without any problem. Just recently bought Tiger to upgrade the Ibook. Everyhting seem to work except the Airport (wireless power bars remain dead). You would think that Tiger OS would make it simpler to set-up your computer after the upgrade. In this case the Airport just wouldn't work. It was perfectly fine with Jaguar. Why the upgrade??? It just made sense to upgrade since a lot of apple peripherals would comonly work with both the Imac G5 and this Ibook. Made a call to Apple tech support.. He was unable to help. He suggested to make an appointment with the "genius" corner at a local apple dealer.
Does anyone out there exeprienced this same problem I'm having after an OS 10.4 upgrade ?
Thx.

Quicktime broadcaster won't work since upgrade to Tiger!

this is probably the worst experience i've had trying to get support from Apple. nothing remotely resembling my problem is anywhere in the knowledge base. here's the deal...
i used broadcaster every week prior to upgrade without any problems...NOW...i am unable to "enable video stream" since upgrading to Tiger. All I can broadcast is audio.
I EVEN have AppleCare support for my computer but Apple still won't help me!!!! I spent all day on this and need it to work TOMORROW MORNING! didn't expect any problems since it worked fine before.
Signed,
A disappointed customer who has used Apple Computers for 20+ years!

Okay....after a few more hours I decided to reinstall Quicktime Player and then re-enter my quicktime Pro registration key. Now it works. I'm still disappointed that Apple wouldn't help me with this though. Not the service I'm used to.
So...quicktime broadcaster users be advised of this need to reinstall quicktime after upgrading to Tiger. It wasn't just my g5 that was affected...I checked it out on my g4 powerbook and also had the same problem.

Can only print one copy at a time in AppleWorks since upgrading to Tiger

Since upgrading to Tiger 10.4.3, (now using version10.4.6) and AppleWorks 6.2.9, I cannot print more than one copy of my document using either of my Epson printers, a R200 and a C86. I did not have this problem with Panther and AW 6.
Apple techs said to reinstalled AW, did not help. Then did a complete archive and reinstall of Tiger, no help, then created a new preference folder, no help.
I found by trial and error that my Grammarian spell and grammar program by Linguisoft uses an input method to be active in order to correct AW documents. I sent them an email and their reply was, this is a bug in Mac OS X 10.4.x (all versions as of Nov, 2005) Specifically, if an input method is active, you will be unable to edit the number of copies or page range values in the dialog versions of Print and Page Setup. This is not a problem in the sheet versions of Print and Page Setup.
Certain older applications still use these dialogs (i.e., AppleWorks) instead of the more appropriate sheet equivalents. To clarify the difference, the sheet versions are "attached" to the actual document you are printing (take a look at, say, TextEdit), while the dialog versions appear modally in front of all document windows in applications that use them.
I wrote a three page letter to Apple and received a call from them, it seems that for now no upgrades to correct this problem is in the works, so for now I will have to make my corrections to all documents that I am working on, then change the input method in Grammarian and print my copies, then go back and make Grammarian active again.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem or am I the only one?

Hello DaisyMay,
You're quite welcome. Very glad to hear it helped!
Yet I'd like to mention the true ones of merit are the contributors of the original Japanese thread. I've just summarized and translated a bit.
Regarding why it takes so long to fix this bug/flaw, I suspect that it is because it won't affect the majority of American users who do not use input method at all, and besides, it seemingly affects only Carbon API, that Apple Computer Inc. is liable to neglect lately.
However, input method is a vital piece in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages, and any other languages that use more than 256 characters, and also quite a few Carbon applications are still in service, so for us (Japanese, e.g.), this bug/flaw is quite unacceptable.
It's new for me to know a non-CJK program, Grammarian, uses input method. Now I understand you'd see this bug/flaw unacceptable as well!
At least one of the contributors of Japanese thread said he let Apple Computer Japan know this problem via official telephone support channel. Also other said that Ergosoft Corp., the maker of EGWord, stated that this is a known-issue of OSX10.4 and they can do nothing but wait for Apple to fix it. Ergosoft has been specialized to Macintosh platform since 1984, so it's quite unlikely they had not reported this problem to Apple via developer channel.
After all, I think Apple knows this problem, whether a bug or a flaw.
Well, possibly, it might not be sufficient for an end-user to point out the problem via Apple's telephone support channel...
In such case, you may try this form -

In my humble opinion, they should shortly fix this, and meanwhile they should promptly publish the user-proposed work-around methods as a Knowledge Base article.
Have beautiful May,

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

This was a big advantage of AppleTV1 - generally it did not need internet authorisation for synced material on its internal drive and was great for holiday/vacation.
I tend to use a Mac Mini these days when going away.

Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

Since upgrading to OS5 I know longer receive notice of incoming mail unless I actually click the mail icon.

Since upgrading to OS5, I no longer receive notificatios of incoming mail unless I actually click the mail icon. Then it connects to the server and loads mail. Any answers?

Go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure your account info is correct, delete the password and reenter to be sure it is clean. Go to Mail and then open Preferences and check the account informaiton for the iCloud account and again, delete and reenter the password for the account. Sometimes the passwords get garbled during an upgrade.

As I am not willing to put my Contacts data on iCloud, I am no longer able to update Contacts between MacBook, iPhone and iPad. This greatly reduces the value of these products.
Any help here???
Thanks.

Wait for the next iTunes release.

Since the update my password no longer works on apple tv

Cute. I redid my apple password last nite and made it real simple. It worked fine signing in to the forum just now. When I use it to sign in on Apple TV I keep getting message. ' server not available'. I had gotten it to sign in earlier but netflix wouldn't play the movie. Just the previews. So I reset everything and tried to start over and I can't log on at all. So if you have any helpful suggestions I would be interested in hearing them. Thank you
