Some odd things after a reinstall

Odd...
Just a few odd problems I noticed after reinstalling OS X. A few of my shareware applications I downloaded still warn me that I downloaded it from the internet every single time I open it.
_Probably because of Coversutra_
And when I quit iTunes it tells me that iTunes unexpectedly quit, possibly because of the FX plug-in. This could have something to do with Coversutra, because I'm Coversutra seems to love to open iTunes all the time (even if the preferences for Coversutra say no).
Most of these are simple 3rd party bugs but I am mostly asking about the downloaded from internet warning. It's really annoying.

don't know anything about Coversutra but in order to get rid of those "downloaded from internet" warnings you need to run those apps once from an admin account.

Odd things after making a Disk Image

Hello All,
I'm a admin for a large group of Mac's. When I did my last hardware upgrade we deployed 10.3 and I built a master computer with all apps and sys prefs configured for our group of users. I then took that computer and made it my master and used Disk Utility to make a disk image of that pre-configured computer on a firewire drive and distribute the image to all new hardware that came in. It all worked well and I had no problems.
All users have been upgraded now to 10.4. I went to build a new image from scratch from a 10.4 install disk, did everything just like the first time around, with one problem. When I boot from the Firewire drive and use Disk Utility to restore the image back to a new computer and restart on the HD I see more than I should.
I see the links to etc, var, usr out on the root of the HD as links. Anyone can just double click on them and go right into any of these folders. A friend of mine said that in 10.3 their was a file called .hidden, that was a list of these links that were invisible, but it is no longer in 10.4. Does anyone know why this happened and how to fix this problem?
Any help would be great. Thanks
John

My iPad is doing some strange things. Any suggestions???

Hi everyone
Thanks for taking time to read this. My iPad is doing some odd things and I think it's been sicne iOS 4.2 update. The problems I'm having are:
1) I installed The Sun newspaper app a few months back and it's been workng fine but recently it's having problems loading saying it cannot contact the server and to try later. My ISP says nothing is blocked their side. The Sun say everything is fine their side. I've updated my router but still no good. Now and again and with no pattern it will all of a sudden work. Interestingly thought, it works fine with my 3 MiFi dongle. The News Of The World App does the same thign, yet The Times and Financial Times apps work fine.
2) When surfing on Safari it will now and again say there was a problem displaying the page. I refresh a few times and it will load. When it's saying it can't display the page I have jumped on my Windows 7 laptop and accessed the page fine.
I have done a restore from back up and also a restore and setup as a new device. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the problem apps but to no avail.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks again in advance.

Hi,
1. Try resetting network settings. Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
2. For Safari. Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the history, cookies, and cache.
Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
See if you notice an improvement. If not, try syncing but omit the Sun app.
And try contacting the Sun app developer support.

Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!

I recently had a kernel panic in which I think my hard drive only had so much space left after I ran a bunch of drivers I thought I needed. I uninstalled all and moved files. For some odd reason I'm not getting sound of of my hdtv/monitor.HELP? I uninstalled all the drives and apps I download. I moived files either to trash if not needed, and others to other external drives. I went into disk utility and did a repair disk permission and verify disk. Clean out junk files. Now my hdtv/monitor does not give me any sound, nor does my mac mini. Can someone please tell me what to do?

I want to reinstall CS4 as it has been doing some strange things regarding printing, etc. However, when I did this before, it created a major problem and I ended up buying a new computer because no one could figure out why it kept hanging up during the installation. Hours on the phone, no results. I'm scared to do it on this computer. Should I try? Not even the Adobe support could get it resolved. I believe it was somehow reading a product number that could not be deleted or something, and nothing worked.

Hello, as an addition:
In your case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" as Keith wrote.
Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part - as it seems unlike you - had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

Restoring from Time Machine after complete reinstall

Hi!
I have some odd problems in my system. Can´t do capital K without using capslock, flickering images, mousepointer freezes when I connect an external drive etc. I have booted from another system which makes all the problems go away which leads me to think it is something wrong in my software. Same problems if I create a new account and I´ve tried an Archive/reinstall without any luck. So I thought I would try a complete Erase and reinstall. I have a Time Machine backup which I would use but my question is. Is it likely that a transfer from my Time Machine backup, after my erase and install, will contain the problems I am trying to get rid of? Any better suggestions to try instead?
Thanks

If the problems are with software and not hardware that's quite possible. but what you describe is pretty strange. if the problems were with the system files an archive and install should have fixed them. if they are with some user preference files making a new account would have fixed them.
You can try doing an erase and install and check if the problems go away. if the do try using migration assistant to import your user settings and home directory ONLY from the TM backup. and if that doesn't work there is always an erase and install followed by manual migration from TM. that's VERY tedious but will give you the cleanest system.

Firefox x86 32 on win8 rp 64 beta 16 gives persistent "eval in sandbox error" as "javascript error" even after uninstal/reinstal -

firefox x86 32 on win8 rp 64 beta 16 gives persistent "eval in sandbox error" as "javascript error" even after uninstal/reinstal -
have not yet uninstalled with deletion of all user files.
greasemonkey runs some javascripts - I don't give a hoot if they are "secure" or not, or indeed anything about "security". oh well I am odd that way.

Firefox beta 17.0b2 - Windows 7 pro x64 - problem started 10.13.12 after whatever Firefox auto update(s) installed that day. Not all sites, but MANY. e.g., Facebook. Whether Javascript enabled or not, with Firefox extensions/plugins on or off. Experienced as few as 4, as many as 20 (!!!!) error boxes to close before able to continue - depending on the site. Open in another tab or window still error boxes on CURRENT window, even if current site has no problem. Page refresh causes error boxes again. Any navigation on offending site (clicking on site links, opening photos, etc.) causes, again, error boxes.
Troubleshooting: Uninstalled Java. Reboot, then tested Firefox, no relief. Uninstalled Firefox. Reboot. Reinstalled Firefox (17.0b2). Reboot, then tested again, no change. Upgraded Java to most recent (1.7.90.5). No change. Subsequently added Firebug and ConsoleExport so can provide more info.

Odd Problems After Leopard Upgrade

I upgraded to Leopard a couple of weeks ago. All seemed fine until I began to notice a few odd things.....
1. Disk Permissions - If I select 'Verify/Repair Permissions' the disk utility began with the blue hatched bar and just stayed like that. I upgraded to 10.5.1 and now it progresses to the solid blue progress bar and says 'one minute remaining' but it makes no further progress. Same happens if I select 'Verify Disk'
2. No volume icon in the menu bar. It was there after the upgrade to 10.5 but yesterday I pressed the 'mute' button and the volume icon disappeared - it's been missing ever since and now I'v no volume.
3. MS Office 2002. I can see MS Office files - I can even preview them, but if I attempt to open them nothing happens. If I attempt to open the relevant MS app the icon just bounces once in the dock and then nothing.
It's worth noting that there are two users on my PB (both have admin status) but problem 3 only occurs in my user profile.
The other user is my wife and she's not the sort to mess with the computer - she just uses it.
can anyone shed any light on this as I'm seriously (and reluctantly) considering downgrading to Tiger.
Thanks in advance,
Seán.

Yo dude!
I think it's time to boot from the start-up dvd, run disk utility repair (always before an upgrade!), re-install (keep previous install just in case), restart, run all updates. Maybe if you have old software, it's time to un-install them and re-stall one by one until something untoward happens. I've been using Leopard on three macs without hitches.. I find it very stable. Current version is 10.5.2, quite soon since last update, so they're (apple) obviously fixing a few things. The only problem I had after upgrading to Leopard was some apps wouldn't hide (command-H) even from the menu, but sorted that by re-installing them after the leopard upgrade,.... hunky dory now.
Don't panic, there is always something silly causing bad **** to happen, 95% of the time it's software..
See you on Wednesday dude...... I'll bring up those disks I borrowed from you.....

My computer is starting to do odd things

My poor old computer is starting to act up. It's a variety of things. I'll list a few, but first my question. Are there some general things I can do to give my computer a good spring cleaning. I fill it up often and archive to external drive. I am a designer and have thousands of files from many years all over the place, but organized. It feels like I just need to clean out the cobwebs and simplify to get back in control.
First of all, stuff just seems slow. Searches are slow, searches are slow, files load slow, like big photoshop files. Sometimes I think it is just sitting there doing nothing (beachballsville as we call it in the office) and suddenly it snaps to and performs the requested task. Even if I clear up 15 gigs on the drive, it doesn't change things. So I don't think it's a pure space issue.
Finder searches will work after a restart, but by the second search, it brings back no results and just keep searching even when it should be hitting a million documents. So luckily I know when everything is organized. Especially when I try to do something like a "created on" date specific search. No dice on results.
Occasionally, browsing my disk in columns mode will freak out on me and the smallest of files will take two minutes to bring up the preview thumbnail. A restart puts things to right. But it's a pain when looking through files of images for a specific image. It's fairly rare for it to have this problem, but it consistently pops up every week or two.
Once in a while, Photoshop tools windows will one place on the screen, but when I click them, I see a ghosted box the same size as the toolbox elsewhere on the screen as though my cursor thinks its elsewhere on the screen. Again, a restart fixes it. It just seems like it had a brain ****.
Programs like Photoshop and In design can take many minute to quit unless I force quit them. They will say they're not responding, but eventually they will. So if I wait for everything to close properly, it can take 10 minutes to restart my computer for all the time it takes to close the programs. That doesn't seem right.
And when I'm doing a finder search, it starts searching before I finish typing, which would be find if it let me finish typing, but it does not. It will freeze up while searching and not allow me to finish the word until it comes back with results, so don't misspell a word and type fast, or I'll get lost in beachballsville while it's spining away looking for nothing of relevance. Can I make it wait till I'm done writing the search term and click "search". It would save so much agony.
Today my active screen corners stopped responding. Guess what fixed it.
Yeah, I probably need a new machine, but it really does work pretty well most of the time. It's just that when I come across these issue at really inopportune times, it's is no frustrating.
I'm hoping someone has advice, or has corrected some of these issues in the past. I looked around the board and didn't see something that made me say, YES! that's what's happening to me too!. But I've been wrong before. Thanks for reading my tome.

I have the "Handheld overwrites Macintosh" for all categories and the connection is made, but the info does not copy to the Mac. I don't know what to do. The connections appears to work, unlike many postings. There must be some little thing I am not getting. The message is simply Hot Sync was interrrupted. Some data was not backed up." Actually nothing is backed up. Any ideas please?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

apps are stored in
C:\Users\<your account name>\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
their extensions are .Ipa you can try doing a search on your harddisk
unless you formattet it when you reinstalled
but an app can only ever be bought 1 times on an appleID so if you try to buy them again it will give you a free download of the app and not charge you
about sync then if you connect the ipad and click info tab and set it to sync your outlook data it should sync without any problems

Very strange thing after 10.7.3 update?

Very strange thing after 10.7.3 update?
Everything seems to be working normal except the desk top BBC iPlayer which plays fine in a small window but when you go to full screen still plays the sound but the screen just goes black, no video?
I thought maybe the update knocked off one of the plugins or players but reinstalled iPlayer and same problem, anyone got a workaround or suggestion as to how I can fix it, am I the only one?
Full screen YouTube works fine.
Everything else seems ok, maybe running a little hotter and the fans are kicking in a little sooner but does feel a little snappier.
Thanks
Phil

Seems like they are on it

'09 MBP with some odd screen anomalies

My MBP has some odd screen anomalies. They appear as small blotches of greyness and can only be seen clearly on a white background and when the backlight is bright. When viewed from a viewing angle almost parallel with the screen, one can clearly see the overall shape. They exist in an almost perfectly round ring around the center of the display with an average diameter of about 2.5 inches. The greyness is thickest on the top half of the ring. There is a distinct spot about half an inch above center and the lower semicircle is filled with random grey dots. It looks like, of all things, the Death Star if looked at straight on, or as if someone used the screen as a cupholder.
It doesn't look like image persistence or dead pixles. The anomaly does not move around or change colors, nor does it appear to get any better or worse with time.
I have no idea where it came from or why...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

do a pram reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 and then try verifying your icc color profiles with colorsync utility (verify and repair) found in your utlities folder in the applications folder.
This sounds hardware related though and you should take it in to an apple specialist. sounds like a ball hit it or someone punched it and the LCD is broken. can you still see it when you turn the screen/computer off?)
