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.

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).

As I understand it, encoding fomats your digital video clips and photos (assets) into Standard DVD mp2 format so that it can be burned to a DVD. If there has been an error in the encoding process, then you remove the old encoded assets and start over. There are numberous reasons why there can be errors in the encoding process.

ITunes cant sync music. Third party applications can.

So i posted a discussion ages ago about iTunes not being able to sync my music. I have tried 5 PC's with different Windows OS's and even some Mac Machines. Before iOS7 it worked fine, then the beta was used and it did not work since even having wiped the phone and used the public release.
Anything that could narrow down the issue would be nice. It just syncs and sits on 'waiting for items to copy' and then just times out. Phone loses the whirling arrows and then iTunes gets stuck in 'Cancelling Sync' which it never does and needs force closing. Same exact issue on all PC's.
MediaMonkey - Same music, same PC, same cable and same phone... Works fine. All 3800 songs.
So my question to you all is, why can iTunes no longer sync my music yet third party applications can...? (they use the iTunes mobile device drivers)
Trying to contact apple when outside of warranty is near impossible without paying. This was broken before my warranty expired but didnt have the time to go down. They also just removed my question for some reason so posting it again.

Because the considered view is that you will be keeping regular backups of your computer in general which would keep these 'last backups' that way. Thats what Time Machine on the Mac does.
So I'm hosed. iTunes not only deleted my apps (presumably an iTunes bug)
Its not a bug - you deleted the content of the phone presumably.
but I read on one forum where someone had re-synced and got his apps back.
Correct, by following the instructions which instruct you to disable automatic synce before restoring to stop the autosync overwriting the last backup.
I tried that and in the process it automatically deleted my good backup I guess.
No, you didnt do it correctly, but don't panic. All free Apps can be downloaded again as can all purchased Apps as long as you log in with your original iTunes account. They will all come back just fine.
This seems really like a really dumb way to do it, Apple.
Not really - the instructions are quite explicit but reading them after the event or not at all is even dumber.
Get downloading those Apps again

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 applications don`t work!!!!!!

Hi I really need help here I have a bb 9530 verizon(my uncle`s) cause my last phone broke a bb 9300 3G.i have set up the bb but I really don't know what I'm doing so every thing works fine except third party applications because when ever I go into a third party app for e.g... whatsapp it comes up with a message : <app name> has attempted to connect to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy. and after saying OK I get another message: unable to open folder.java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied  that always happens!!!! Please help me I'm really getting tired of this.P.S I don't know much about where the phone came from(country)and I'm in south Africa and on mtn and I don`t know about the previous settings or any of that all I know is the model and that its my uncles so please help.
Regards:fruityboy78

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
What you have is a BB that was previously associated with a corporate/BES system, and the IT Policy that was placed onto the device by BES was never properly cleansed, even though the BB was removed from the BES system (cleansing the BB is NOT an automatic function). Until that is gone from the BB, you will have this problem.
The other problem you have is that the only remedy will totally wipe your BB clean of everything -- data, apps, configurations, etc. It will be as if it was brand new again, fresh from the factory. The problem here is that, from what you say, you probably don't know the first thing about what you need to do in order to proper re-configure after you cleanse the IT Policy off of the BB. So doing so could render your BB useless since you don't know any of the settings you would need to accomplish this task.
All in all, what you need to do is a rather complex set of things, requiring you to know what you are doing, and know the necessary configuration items in order to get your BB working again. If you are willing to undertake that mess, then we can give you the necessary procedure...if you are not willing, then you likely should seek out some paid support from someone who does know what they are doing and can perform the necessary steps for you.
Good luck and let us know!

Third Party Applications

Right, so now Apple have decided to make a complete U-Turn in Application Avenue with the latest update, (1.1.3) and allow Third Party apps, what's the story so far? Are the apps made for jailbroken iPhones installable (if thats a word) now? (and if so, does anyone know how to now do it legitimately?) Or do we have to wait for new apps to be made in the near future?
Thanks,
Curt.
P.S. Sorry if this has been posted before. I did perform a search which yielded no results, so i'm assuming not.

Apple does not allow 3rd party apps in the 1.1.3 update. All you can do is add web bookmarks to the springboard screen. Those apps are not stored on the iPhone - they are still on the remote servers.
In Feb, Apple is releasing a S oftware D evelopers K it so that actual 3rd party apps can be programmed. We will see the option to put those apps on the phone some time after the SDK release, once the devs have programmed the apps and Apple has put in place a way to transfer them to the phone.
As for the jailbroken apps out now, there is no legit way to put them on the phone. Most will not do damage to the phone but in my personal experience they are not optimized all that well and cause a larger battery drain than I would like.

How do I disable auto-launch of third party applications (i.e. TeamViewer) at startup?

I've loaded a few third party applications like TeamViewer which installed themselves as startup applications which I cannot disable in the system preferences login items. The obvious answer is don't load these apps but that being said, how do I disable them now that they are loaded without uninstalling to prevent them from launching automatically during startup. I can quit them after they launch but I'd like to prevent them from auto-starting during startup. Any insight would be appreciated.

Look in TeamViewers preferences for this:
Uncheck it.

My third party applications keep de-activating. How do I fix this?

Hi everyone!
I am wondering if anyone can be of help to me. I am desperate.
I upgraded to Mavericks and am currently on version 10.9.5.
I have numerous third party applications...to name the two important ones,
most of them are video effects from New Blue FX and the other ones are just like converters etc.
I have had no problems with them in the beginning when I upgraded to Mavericks and
certainly no problems before Mavericks. Now all of a sudden, every time I try to use
these applications, it keeps saying that I am running on trial version and that I need
to activate the product with the activation code. This has never happened before and
it certainly has not got to do with a certain app as it is happening with all my applications
that require an activation code. I have to keep activating the apps everyday so that I can
use them and it is becoming really annoying and I don't know how to fix this.
I am sure it is something simple as my computer has been absolutely GREAT since
I have updated to Mavericks. Everything has been so much faster and just amazing until
this new problem. This is the only problem I have. I have checked and I have done ALL updates.
I am a video editor and I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and these continuous activations are
really not helpful for me when I am trying to concentrate and use my effects.
But like I said, it cannot be just the effects I use for adobe as applications that
are not associated to adobe at all are being affected as well.
If you guys could help me, it would be greatly appreciated!
I am really desperate! By the way, I am working on an iMac with Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.5.
Thank you so much!

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

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

What exactly ARE the .pkg files that collect in the 'Receipts' folder?

Hi there all.
Those .pkg files that collect in HDD>Library>Receipts. What exactly ARE these packages for? How do they tie in with Disk Utility's 'Repair permissions' option? Why do we need to keep them?
It's all Unix to me ;0)

I used to delete .pkg files after I'd installed an application. I thought i was just the electronic equivalent of throwing away the empty box after I'd bought something.
The "cardboard box" icon encouraged me to think that.
Then someone said you should never throw away those.pkg files.
So I stopped.
But the only thing that has ever happened is that during permissions repair, I get a few lines here and there that say "could not repair permissions".
I have experienced no other problems of any kind over about the last 2 years. All applications running normally, nothing weird happening.

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?
