Third Party Applications not Installing

Here is my problem, Every new third party app i try to install/open in my MacBook it doesn't work.
I just move the app to the Applications folder // try to open it from the downloads folder, it opens it on the dock, jumping without any window and when i click the icon at the dock it dissapears.
Tried several things:
- Checked that it happens with every new application that i download, they are free aplications and work in another mac. So it's not problem of the app i downloaded.
- Tried creating a new user with admin rights and downloading + opening an app. Same result.
- Disk utility Verify + Repair permisions on the boot disk, Still the same problem. Also checked that i've read/write permisions in the app folder.
- Tried to install the app in the two applications folder /applications and /users/XXXX/applications . Same result.
- Restarted/shutdown the system several times, updated the system software.
One thing that i've seen strange is that, when i try to delete an app installed with app cleaner, it shows me items in the Library preferences etc...etc... When i try with one of the new apps i tried to move to the app folder, it just shows the app.
This is why i think apps are not installing when i move them to the applications to the folder :S
Is there a way to see any logs of this so i can troubleshoot it a little more? Can anyone think of one reason why this is happening? I've an appointment in the Genius Bar Apple Store this week, but I was hoping you could help me without having to make the trip to the Apple Store.
Thanks for any help you could get me!

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.

Third party applications not working

So I had to get a new pearl the other day and everything is the same, but had to redownload my third party apps (like tsn, cnn, etc.). none of them work, they just say redirecting and then waiting and never go to the site, but if I go to that applications website through the browser it works. I figure something in my settings is incorrect for the third-party apps not to work? tried a few different things but nothing seems to help.
can anyone (please) help?

What does it say if you go to About This Mac -> More Info -> Graphics & Displays -> Pixel Depth
1: Try resetting the PRAM.
2: Go to System Preferences -> Displays -> Color -> Select another profile or calibrate
3: Go to System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Slide the Contrast bar all the way to the left
Might end up just being a plist to snag though.

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

Fonts not showing up in third party applications

Hello All-
I am running OS 10.9.2 on Active Directory and I have 370 total fonts (Typefaces) installed. If I am logged into a local Admin account everything is fine but if I log in as an AD user then I am missing fonts in third party applications such as Word, Indesign CS6 and Photoshop CS6. They all show up in Text Edit and FontBook but I cant seem to get them to come up in these other applications. I have checked permissions to the Library>Fonts folder and they are set correctly. This also happens if I install any fonts under an AD user to that users Library>Fonts folder. Fontbook installs it, the font is there and I can see it in the folder and fontbook, but nowhere else. Any ideas on this would be helpful.
Thanks!

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
I'm not sure if this is the cause for anyone else, but I had the same symptoms--almost no fonts showing up in InDesigns Font dropdown options.
THE SOLUTION: The new version of ID has two "font filter toggle button". They are the "Apply Favorite Filter", and "Apply Typekit Filter". It seem that in my install, the Typekit filter was on by default, which makes it so that the Font list only displays those fonts that originate from Typekit, as opposed to the thousand you have on your hard drive.
Click the toggle to turn off the filter and --zowee! All your fonts come right back.
I hope this helps some of you. It would also explain why people on both Macs and Windows boxes are having this issue.
Best,
Lance

After upgrading to Mavericks on my MacBook, I'm not able to download third party applications like Dropbox and MyCleanMac 2. After clicking the download button, the screen just turns dark and is frozen. Any idea what is happening?

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

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?

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

Third Party Applications? What exactly are they?

Right,
I've read alot about the Blue Screen that appears when Upgrading to OSX Leopard. I am intending on upgrading tomorrow when my external hard drive arrives so I can Clone my 10.4.11 onto the external hard drive and upgrade the cloned version first but would like to know if I can check in advance for any of these' Third party App's'? and what exactly are they?
Regards,

A third party application is anything not made by Apple. It can also include products that Apple purchased fairly recently (some of those "Pro" apps) that weren't coded to Apple's specfications and haven't been well tested. Apple doesn't and shouldn't test their software with third party applications. It isn't their job to test other people's software. They probably make exceptions for things like Office and Photoshop, but that is a short list.
Most third party applications will be fine. The ones you have to worry about are those that ask for your password when you install them. They can then install any sort of incompatible software.
After you clone your hard drive, verify that you can boot from the external drive and all your data is there. If so, don't upgrade the external drive. Boot using the 10.5 DVD and immediately run Disk Utility and re-partition your internal hard drive to wipe it out completely. Then install Leopard. Do not use Migration Assistant. Re-install all your 3rd party applications that are 10.5 compatible. Be very careful about copying over from backup anything in a Library/Preferences folder. You can copy any preference file from a third party application back over - those are safe. Anything from Apple may have been upgraded. Only copy over the Apple files that you absolutely have to, such as your Mail folder and Address book file, for example.
It sounds like a lot of work but it will only take a couple of hours.

Unable to delete third party applications

I have several third party applications that i want to delete on my 8320 Curve. I've read many forum posts on the several ways of deleting them and i have hit a brick wall:
1. The applications are not visible in Advanced Options > Applications, however their modules are when i choose to view > Modules. However when i select the modules which i want to delete, there is no delete option. (The option is there for other applications which i dont want to delete!!)
2. Several of these applications were installed via PocketMac for Blackberry, and even those will not delete when i choose the uninstall option.
Is there any way of getting rid of these third party applications without resetting my Blackberry, or the use of a Windows program?
Thanks in advance.

Hi...
You can backup your entire device and reload the os. Using the application loader, you can uncheck third party apps once you start the application loader and reload the device. You can use a third party tool like JL Commander to wipe the device prior to the reload and then reload the OS and then be given the opportunity to load what you want. You will have to make sure you have the latest OS that your provider has posted on the RIM download site.
Good luck...

Moving third-party applications

As an administrator, how do I move a third-party application from the app Utility folder to the main Applications folder? All I seem to get are copies of the app I want to move. More than one copy of the app will cause problems when it is time for updates.

Well, I stand corrected:
I just tried the following:
1) drag an application from the Applications folder to the Utilities folder and got this window:
If I hit authenticate, and then enter password, it is moved.
2) tried to move an app from Utilities to Applications and it was copied (without any dialog).
I deduce from that behavior that this is a new "feature" in Lion. Regardless, I've learned over the years that it is best not to change/mess with the Applications folder. So I would not rearrange apps that have been installed in one or the other. If you have new third party apps you want to install, I would first create a new subfolder (such as "My Applications") and then direct the installer to that location.
And, the question is: how did your third party apps wind up in the Utilities folder in the first place? If you manually installed them there, I'd guess it would be ok to copy it to the other folder and then delete the original - but that is a guess. Try at your own risk.

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.

How do i revert back to a OS X 10.5 without losing third party applications

Hi,
i have recently installed my HP printer CD software, after i did this it started to cause problems with some programmes, so i uninstalled it.
However since doing this i have lost the relevant printer driver (however have now managed to print but do not have most of the functions e.g. print quality levels etc) and now want to revert my system back to a state when it was working fine. i have time machine and leopard cd and go through the process as described on the apple website however i have not done the restore from time machine back ups as i'm not sure if i will lose my third party applications (some of which i dont have the cd's for as they came pre-installed). can anyone help, will i lose my third party applications?

Have you been using Spotlight to backup?
Your system installation disks let you restore the system from the Spotlight backup, if you backed up your entire system with Spotlight.
