Trouble with OS X 10.3 apps?

Hello. I have an iBook G4 running 10.3. I am having trouble with the applications that are part of the OS X system. I first noticed this with iPhoto because I use it a lot. When I click the icon the program launches but will not start (proper term?) No page is displayed but I have to force quit the program. Several of the apps do this. It just came back from the computer doctor (authorized service person) and is worse. It has been upgraded, archived and installed, erased and installed. At first the apps would work after a reinstall until I shut it down. I just deleted several gigs of previous system files that were eating my hard drive space. I do have applecare and have spent quite a bit of time with tech support. I am wondering if my install disks are corrupted? Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I would suggest you try to repair permission (application / utilities / disk utility),; and then check you have the correct fonts installed in the right places - there are some documents on these forums that go through which fonts are needed (sorry, I dont know off hand where there are- try the 10.3 discussion area or FAQs)
Try those 2 things and come back and tell us if you still have the problem!
Good luck!

  • I'm having trouble with Creative Cloud's desktop app, when I launch it it loads but it's just a blank window, can you help?

    I'm trying to attach a screenshot but apparently that's against Adobe's guidelines.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times today, even redownloaded the .exe from adobe. All with the same effect.
    Everytime CC loads with a blank window and the only thing I can interact with is the gear icon for Help, Pin Notification, and to Quit.

  • Having trouble with a push to phone app?

    If you have ever seen this error messages "The requested URL '/CGI/Execute' was not found on the RomPager server." you are not alone.  I had this problem recently writing a python script to push a simple raw file to a phone and in my searching I have seen postings that were very similar but almost none of them had successful responses.
    One of the main problems here is that the error message is fairly misleading.  The root cause is how your XML needs to be written when being sent to the phone and the content-type header being used.  I stumbled across this when examining a successful request from a simple HTML app and when compared to my unsuccessful python script post.
    You need the content-type header to look like this: 'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
    the next part is the XML message you are pushing needs to look like this or some variation depending on the command needing to be sent: 'XML=<CiscoIPPhoneExecute><ExecuteItem Priority="0" URL="Analog1.raw"/></CiscoIPPhoneExecute>'
    Please let me know if this works for you or if you have run into anything different.  Thanks.

    If the db is huge, you may want to copy it, and delete all but a few hundred rows.
    Then you can play with the copy till you get the query doing what you want.
    You might try changing this section
    "tblQAMonitorTrack"."CSR_ID"="tblCSR"."CSRID") INNER JOIN "SMG_APPS"."dbo"."tblFM_BeginEndDates" "tblFM_BeginEndDates" ON ("tblQAMonitorTrack"."FiscalYear"="tblFM_BeginEndDates"."fiscalyear") AND ("tblQAMonitorTrack"."FW_Month"="tblFM_BeginEndDates"."fiscal_month")) INNER JOIN "SMG_APPS"."dbo"."tblMonitorsPerFM" "tblMonitorsPerFM" ON
    To left outer joins.
    Also, just create a connection to the tblMonitorsPerFM all by itself, run a query and see if you get multiple results directly from the DB...

  • Trouble with AppBuilder for updating an app

    Hi !
    I have created an app with a Single Edition serial number in late november.
    Now I want to update the app.
    But the original app did not appear anymore in AppBuilder. So i couldn't "select it and Edit it" as indicated in Step-by-step guide.
    So I tried to create another app.
    It worked ; I entered my serial number and got the dev app and distrib app.
    Now I want to edit this app because I had to make some changes.
    But I can't : when I click on the dev and distrib file, it says something like "the folio has been missing or moved".
    So I can't do anything now : 
    - If I try to edit or remove it, I can't : "manage" button remains greyed
    - If I try to create another app in App builder with a new folio exported, when i want to activate it, it says that the serial number is already in use.
    What can I do?!

    Single Edition customers cannot edit the app or make changes. What kind of update are you looking for? Send me a Private Message with your account details and reason for update. DPS Serial numbers are one time use serial number and re-use needs approval. In case you need an app which would need multiple updates, go in for a Creative Cloud Subscription.

  • Trouble with deploying a standlone Java app/client that calls an EJB

    Hey guys,
    I am well aware that there are many topics that are quite similar to this topic that I am posting but the fact of the matter is I have failed to procure a satisfactory answer.
    So a bit of background about the environment I am using. I am using Netbeans 5.5 development build, today's version, JDK 6 Build 77, and Sun Application Server 8.2 to create, run and learn J2EE 1.4 based apps following the Sun J2EE 1.4 tutorial pdf and the Netbeans 4.1 tutorial pdf which I realize is a bit outdated but it gets the job done for the most part.
    I have satisfactorily created and built the Converter application as described in the above mentioned tutorial pdfs. For memory refreshment purposes, it is the simple session bean example where it is stateless and remote and has 2 business methods:
    dollarToYen(BigDecimal dollar)
    yenToEuro(BigDecimal yen)So I have this EJB being called, for learning purposes, by both a JSP and a Servlet as well as a standalone Java client. Now since the development machine is where I am deploying and running the enterprise application, everything works without a hitch. Once I have the Application server up and running I am able to access and execute the EJB's methods through JSP and Servlet even from remote machines on my home LAN. I realize that since the JSP and Servlet are in the same application context as that of the EJB I am not requiring the client jar which is where my confusion starts coming in. I know I need the client jar when I try to run the standalone java client from a different machine because it simply cannot access the EJB I have written.
    Now I found this link below and I read it and sorta understand it. I also found that under C:\AppServer\domains\domain1\applications\j2eeapps\ConverterApp I see a file called ConverterAppClient.jar. Is this the so called client jar? If so how do I go about using it?
    Before I end my rather long post, let me detail the steps I used to create the standlone Java client. I selected java application in the new menu of Netbeans and gave it the name ConverterClient and the IDE then proceeded to create a main class for me with a main method where I stuck in the following code:
    try
                Context c = new InitialContext();
                Object remote = c.lookup("ejb/ConverterBean");
                ConverterRemoteHome rv = (ConverterRemoteHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(remote, ConverterRemoteHome.class);
                ConverterRemote converter = rv.create();
                BigDecimal param = new BigDecimal(100);
                System.out.println(param + " Dollars are  " + converter.dollarToYen(param) + " Yen.");
                System.out.println(param + " Yen are " + converter.yenToEuro(param) + " Euro.");
            catch (RemoteException ex)
                ex.printStackTrace();
            catch (ClassCastException ex)
                ex.printStackTrace();
            catch (NamingException ex)
                ex.printStackTrace();
            catch (CreateException ex)
                ex.printStackTrace();
        }and that code works when I call it from the same machine that the Application Server is running with the EJB deployed. I also added in the classpath of the client application, the j2ee.jar and the other appserv-rt.jar as well. Have I missed anything?
    I even tried using the deploytool but to no avail as all it generated for me was the same jar file that I found underneath the Application server application directory as I mentioned earlier.
    If anyone is willing to help me, I will upload my Netbeans project files and all you have to do is open it through Netbeans 5.5 to recreate the exact scenario I am talking about.
    Thanks in advance. I apologize for the rather long post but I thought it would be best to provide as much details as was possible.
    Cheers,
    Surya

    hI,
    Pls, I'm happy to know u r using application server. I have just started reading enterprise bean.
    But I could not set the path and some other configurations for it to start working.
    Pls, I would be most grateful, if u could put me through on how to configure application server.
    Right now, I'm in the state of dilemma due to the insufficient knowledge in it.

  • Trouble with GoDaddy Domain and Google Apps Email

    This question doesn't really involve Apple too much, though I do use MobileMe to host a website and GoDaddy provides the Domain Name without flaws.
    Previously, Yahoo hosted my Domain Name, and I had my Mx Records set up so that all emails were forwarded to Google Apps, and it worked using Google's instructions. Now I use GoDaddy for the Domain Name Hosting, and have used Google's instructions again (but this time for GoDaddy), and now my email does not work.
    I have already contacted GoDaddy multiple times, and they are not willing to help me at all.
    If anyone else uses these services, I would greatly appreciate if you could maybe Screen-Shot your Mx Records in GoDaddy for me so that I may finally get my Email back working.
    Thanks!

    Anyone?

  • Trouble with updating apps

    Having trouble with updating some of my apps. You Tube esp.

    Apps are tied to the account that downloaded the apps, not to the device that they are on, so any apps that your son downloaded can only be updated via his account and vice versa.
    You can sign in and out of accounts via Settings > Store and tapping the account on the right-hand side. If you no longer use the apps that your son downloaded then you could delete them (or if they are free apps you could delete and then download them under you account) - you could always reset to factory settings (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Setting) and reload just your apps from scratch (apps can be re-downloaded for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), which is a 'cleaner' way of doing it

  • My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage

    My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage. Sharing calenders, apps, music, contacts, etc...all great. But when we imessage each other. Our phones get confused and either not deliver message, or send it to and from itself.

    Go to Settings > Facetime and you will see "You can be reached for video calls at:"
    This should list your phone number (iPhone) and your email address (probably the gmail one).
    And then an option for "Add another email..."
    Choose that and enter your @me.com account and it'll send a verification email.
    Same for iMessage: Settings > Messages > "Receive at" > Add Another Email
    So you can be called by facetime and use iMessage through multiple email accounts yes.

  • I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

    I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps.  This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related.  All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting".  I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement.  The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup.  I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on.  There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available).  Any suggestions on what to try next? 

    Hello there, Missy.
    First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • I'm having trouble with my Apple ID. I changed my email account, and recently (a month ago) and since I switched is requested every time I open any app to Apple ID password to the old email. How can I solve this? Could it be that my iPhone 4S is in sync w

    I'm having trouble with my Apple ID. I changed my email account, and recently (a month ago) and since I switched is requested every time I open any app to Apple ID password to the old email. How can I solve this? Could it be that my iPhone 4S is in sync with my Ipod???

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPhone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • HT1689 I am having trouble with my appleid and password. I have changed to a new id and password, however whenever I updat an app it continues to give me my old applid and i  do not have a password for this account because it no longer exists

    I am having trouble   getting my updates on my apps. The email address no longer exists. I have set up a new appleid and password. However my old email address keeps showing up and I do not know the password. Can anyone help me?

    Items are permanantly associated with a single AppleID used at the time of the purchase.
    You will have to contact Apple about the non-working e-mail and forgotten password.  It's kind of like going to the police and saying you know that red car in the corner of the parking lot is yours but you don't have the papers for it and you have lost the key to the door.
    http://www.apple.com/contact/ - many contact options, including web site feedback and legal.
    Apple ID Support - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/  -> Apple ID FAQ -->
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store.

    I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was.  I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

    I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software.
    The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems  with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.
    when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
    If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist    That will take you right to that file.
    (.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
    It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.
