Suddenly - spinning beachbal in all new apps I open

I was doing a thing in an a PPC application — so in other words it's using Rosetta — and suddenly it started to beachball and then the Adium, Finder, Word and Safari followed, the fans started to run, the hung apps took alot of processor power.I had several other apps open too, but they continued to run as usual. I could force quit the hung apps and everything and the fans then calmed down, but as soon as I started for example Safari or Adium I got the beachball in those apps. If I started an application that hadn't been open before it also got hung, except for the Terminal and Activity Monitor, but eventually they also freaked out. I had to force restart the computer. This is the first time this happens to me in more than two months of heavy use. Why did this suddenly happen?
Here's a parts of the systemlog I found interesting:

Very few apps are open in the background.
What you are talking about was the recently used app bar, NOT open apps. You were simply removing them from the recently used list.
Any apps that run in the background can be turned off from within the the app. As the vast majority of apps do not run in the background you need do nothing but press the home button.

but they perhaps loosely paraphrase " How compatible your application is with Rosetta depends on the type of application it is. An application such as a word processor that has a lot of user interaction and low computational needs is quite compatible. An application that requires a moderate amount of user interaction and has some high computational needs or that uses OpenGL is most likely also quite compatible. One that has intense computing needs isn’t compatible. This includes applications that need to repeatedly compute fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), that compute complex models for 3-D modeling, or that compute ray tracing." as including Photoshop among apps that have " intense computing needs " - maybe the wiki author found that to be the case on an older machine?.
Very loosely! Actually that quote from Wikipedia is wrong with regard to Adobe Photoshop and should be corrected (at least as it applies to version 9, CS2, after which, later versions, starting with CS3 do not need Rosetta in any event).
While I am not sure about the rest of that quoted phrase (acually in most of my posts on this forum indicating my solution for running PowerPC applications [Installing Snow Leopard with Rosetta into Parallels] in Lion or Mt. Lion, I do note: "Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization." I do, however, see this as a virtualization problem and not a Rosetta problem (as opposed to these programs running on a computer that can actually boot into Snow Leopard and run these programs in emulation, where Rosetta should not pose a problem).
My experience with Adobe Photoshop is limited to CS2, which is now available for free download from the Adobe website. My uses for this program are limited, such as when one frustrated Mt. Lion upgrader noted that Apple should post a flag about the loss of Rosetta (see my graphic posted above).
But my understanding is that Adobe Photoshop (at least up to version CS2) does not require any rendering, which could be hampered and slow in virtualization and perhaps additionally with Rosetta.
Use of Photoshop 9 (CS2) appears to be similar to use of Freehand MX and none of the users of either of these powerpc applications have come back with any complaints after my suggestion to them on how to continue to run these powerpc apps in Lion or Mt. Lion.

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display. But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close. Any advice... thanks?!

Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

I want all new windows to open in tabs but they dont, even after I have selected the option " Open new windows in new tab instead"

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

On os 10.7.5 '08 pages app tells me I need a newer app to open an '08 pages document

I notice you say you have something on iOS 7.1 which does not work with Pages '08.

As I recall, the dropdown menu had no option for os 10.6.8. The sending computer works on os 10.7.5 and the receiving computer operates on 10.6.8. Both iMacs. The Pages app was downloaded from the same CD some time ago. The CD purchase was for three computers and has worked well until recently. No recent upgrades. Are the OSystems above compatible? Frank

Is there a way to get all new tabs to open to the right of all extant tabs?

I just upgraded from to 3.6.10 and now when I open a tab by right-clicking on a link in a current tab, the new tab opens somewhere other than the far right end of all the tabs I have open.
I want all new tabs to open to the right of the tabs I already have open, just like they used to with the previous version of Firefox I was using.

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''false'''

Can I submit apps built with Windows Phone 8.0 SDK or do all new apps have to be windows Phone 8.1

I thought this would be an easy question to google but I can't find a simple Yes or No.
My app uses some components that are not currently developed for windows phone 8.1 so I was going to build the app in the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK. But I know that other platforms stop you submitting apps in older SDK's, but what about Microsoft? Can I still
submit a brand new app built on the Windows Phone 8 SDK?

you can submit , I have submitted a new windows phone 8 app recently which will support on windows 8.1 phone also. In case of 8 the build will be .xap and in case of 8.1 it will app.package . when you run your windows 8 app in 8.1 phone it will
internally convert xap to package and it runs as usually. I would suggest you to start developing in 8.1 apps which has lot more flavors added(ex: Geo fencing etc).

Windows move off screen when new app is opened

I have a user running 10.8.5. The user opens an application like Firefox or Safari. As soon as they open another application like Microsoft Word the browser or other application will shift off the screen. The finder is allowing only one window to show up on the screen at one time. I reset all keyboard shortcuts. Checked Mission Control, Launcher and couldn't find anything that would make this happen. They only have one display connected. I removed all the Office plist files and launched as a first time launch. I still can't find what is making the windows disappear or move off screen.
I logged on as a different user and the problem went away. So it has to be something in their profile that is causing this. Any ideas?

In OS X 10.6 and prior, Expose' and Spaces had a separate System Preference setting, along with hot corners. One of the options was to force apps to open in a new space.
That changed to become Mission Control with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I haven't really used the feature in 10.8. I can't quickly find a useful Apple link, so I'll provide this 3rd-party 'Dummies book' link which might help you sort things out. Mouse and trackpad preferences also can be set to enable gestures that work in conjunction with Mission Control.

News app just open my browser

Hi All,
I just got my blackberry passport, super happy with it!
I just have one problem. I installed a Dutch news app called Nu.nl. Whenever i tap on a newsstory within the app it opens my browser, which its not supposed to do.
Any ideas what I can do to fix it? I reinstalled the app, restarted the phone.
Thanks!

Hi! Congrats on your new Passport!
Have you tried contacting the developer about this issue?

How can I get all new sites to open in a new tab rather tnan replacing the site in the existing tab?

When I click on most, if not all, of my bookmarks, the new site opens in the tab from which I was open. I would like the new site to open in a new tab (unless I type in the name where the address was. How do I get this done.

URGENT: Spinning Beachball...several apps getting "hung up"?

I was doing some tidying up last week and removed 2 gig worth of uneeded files to backup. Since doing that, I have had several applications get hung up. It started with Mail not opening, then Safari will start to load the home page and just spin, now Help and System Prefs are doing it also. I ran Disk Utlity and TechTool and neither found anything. Help me, you're my only hope.

Hi Josh
Don't know if you've fixed this yet, but I have a similar problem. Seems to be with some Mac-native apps such as address book, mail and safari. I discovered that by logging off of your account then logging back on it cleared. I know it's not a fix, but it might help.

All new apps to banks, tickets and wireless contro...

As a Nokia fan for many years - i am right now shopping new phones for my company, the first n8 is bought, but whenever i see a website with information about the possibility of using apps on the phone - it might be the bank, checking account statement or paying bills, or it might be shopping bus tickets, it’s NEVER meant for Symbian. Will we not ever see these possibilities? Because then the next 2 years with an n8 will be just watching other users get more and more apps for REAL use except us nokia fans.

The computer has to be authorized in iTunes to the same iTunes account as the phone is logged into and under which the apps were purchased.

New app windows opening Under current ones

so I have this strange issue that just suddenly started happening and it's driving me nuts. this only seems to happen when I open applications, never folders, and it does it to ALL applications, so I know it's a system problem. the issue is this: say I've opened FireFox and now decide to open System Preferences. when I click on the System Preferences icon, it appears that nothing has happened, when in fact System Preferences HAS opened, only the Sys Pref window opens UNDER the FireFox window. unless I'm going nuts I seem to remember that all apps opened their new windows on TOP of all other windows. the same thing happens if I open Mail, Word, Safari, you name it. I cannot find any logical preference that I might have changed to cause this, and am really sick of having to find new windows after I open an application. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to say, except something mucked up in memory, where everything running on the machine is stored and operating. You might want to review what you had done since the restart prior to it happening. If it doesn't come back, running the Apple Hardware Test program, extended tests, wouldn't hurt. If you want to thoroughly check out the installed RAM, download and run Rember.

Why all of a sudden do I have all sorts of windows open up in the middle of what I'm doing and it's almost impossible to close them out

When I'm in the middle of a web page, all of a sudden I get 4 or 5 new tabs open up with Mozilla offers and to get them to close is a battle. Ever since Mozilla updated my version to a newer Firefox which I HATE( and it didn't even ask me if I wanted this version) I've been getting all these windows opening ? I'm so angry and frustrated if this can't be fixed, I'll look for a different browser where I don't have to put up with this.

hello, you may have malicious addons present. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

10.5.2 and CS3 conflicts: all CS3 apps wont open

The install of 10.5.2 has rendered every one of my CS3 apps bricked on startup. None of them will load. I see that other people seem to be having similar problems. If there is anyone that is able to resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated. I have cleared all prefs, rebooted, done an additional combo 10.5.2 install, but still, all of my adobe design premium apps can't start up.

Thanks for the heads up. Linotype Font Explorer, the only font management software that has ever worked for me after ten years of throwing money and Suitcase, causes all of the conflicts. Simply quit this program to run other apps and pray that Linotype comes out with a fix for their ingenious little software. Sorry Linotype, that apple seems to be stepping on your toes. I love you and will miss you.
