Updated Catalyst won't open

Hi, my desktop is a p6653w running with AMD HD 4200.
I usually do light gaming with online games so I had to recently update my drivers. I checked using HP's service updater but it didn't show any drivers available. So I went to AMD and chose to manualyl detect drivers for updates and there was the AMD Catalyst 12.6 I think. So right now I've done installing the update but the catalyst center won't open. I was wondering what could be the problem and if its due to incompatibility? I read somewhere that most HP built in amd gpu's really only on stock HP drivers. I know it wouldn't boost performance that much but I'm sure updating would help my gaming a bit.

Kritterbits, welcome to the forum.
I suggest trying an earlier version of the Catalyst Control Center. Sometimes the latest version may not be compatible with your computer. If this works, please let us know.

CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't open.

CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't open. Should I reinstall from disks or can I get a free upgrade to CS6?

there's no free upgrade.
you 'transferred' or you properly installed cs4 using the installation files?

Quicktime won't update, itunes won't open...having no luck :(

I'm getting an error message when I try to download the current quicktime. iTunes won't open without it. The error message is below:
It says "Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
I tried a link that was posted in another discussion about manually editing the registry and it did not change anything. I still get the same error message. I've actually looked over quite a few suggestions in other discussions (like deleting quicktime all over the place and trying to reinstall it) and nothing seems to work. I finally was able to get the newest version of itunes downloaded. However, when I go to launch itunes it will not open b/c it says that i need the newest version of quicktime (which i cannot download). When I try to download it via standalone, it gives me a new error message similar to the original except now the location is QuickTime.QuickTime rather than QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp. Before I uninstalled QT, I was able to edit the registry for the QT Player LIb and App. Since they did nothing I unistalled it again. However, after I uninstalled it, (and reinstalled just itunes which it finally updated) I tried to reinstall and it would not install because the new error message is the most resent one above... in the registry it will not let me change/save any permissions changes to QuickTime.QuickTime. I've again tried to uninstall it but now QT isn't there at all. I've been at this thing for a week and nothing seems to be working... any suggestions? I would love help!!!!
Oh, and I don't know if this will help at all, but I have an ipod mini from like 2003... when I couldn't get itunes to update at all to the current version I decided to uninstall itunes and my ipod mini... so then i had to reinstall my ipod with the cd software that came with it which also installed itunes... it worked fine and would open... then I tried to update itunes again and somehow i managed to get it to update itunes... however, when i go to launch itunes it won't let me b/c of the version of quicktimes i currently have. Thanks in advance for any help!

so i tried to download the windows installer update from the link you gave me but now i'm getting a different error and it won't let me download the installer. The error reads:

Keynote file i updated yesterday won't open

I'm feeling nauseous. I updated a very large file that i've been working on for years yesterday. Upgraded it to new keynote. Now....it won't open. At all. Just says "can't be opened". I tried keynote 09, new keynote. Tried dragging into new keynote icon on deck.
OMG. I've only had problems with this new effing keynote. I didn't even question that it would corrupt all of my content.
Anyone? thanks...

Use Keynote version 5 to open edit and play version 5 presentations.
Only use Keynote version 6 for new presentations.

The updated Illustrator won't open. Photoshop and Acrobat did

The updated Illustrator in Cloud won't open. The updated Photoshop and Acrobat did.
It mentioned something about needing to register. Thank you.

Hi Tina,
Which OS are you using?
Sometimes this is caused when Mac preferences become corrupt and prevent Illustrator from reading them properly or scratch disk for Illustrator is not set properly. Mac preferences become corrupt when home space is filled to capacity or computer shuts down improperly. Illustrator preferences must be set before using the product for the first time or when preferences become corrupt.
Solution 1
Start Illustrator.
Click on "Illustrator > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disks".
From the options available for the "Primary Scratch Disk", choose "LocalScratch", and click "Ok".
Quit Illustrator and start it up again.
Solution 2
Quit Illustrator. Move the following folders from your home space to the trash:
Library/Application Support/Adobe
Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Library Settings
Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings
Library/Preferences/com.adobe.illustrator.plist
The problem should disappear upon quitting and starting Illustrator after one of these solutions is applied.
Regards,
Rave

Macbook pro was preinstalled with 9.2.1and after update iPhoto won't open-what to do

macbook pro was preinstalled with 9.2.1 and after update won't open-get message that says 9.2.1 isn't supported by OS X

Update to 9.5.1 from the AppStore.
Sign ino the AppStore with your AppleID and check, if there is iPhoto on your Purchased tab to be accepted to your AppleID. If yes, accept it. Then check the "Updates" tab of the App Store.
If you cannot update this way, download an update from the Software update section of the Apple Support page. You need to update at least to version iPhoto 9.4.3.
What MacOS version did you upgrade from? Did your Mac come with system installation media, or did you install and update from the AppStore?

After update, firefox won't open

after last update, firefox won't start. maybe because I believed it would restart the first time I started computer. the instructions have always given that option

Try to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean (re)install of the latest version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

After update, Safari won't open

After installing the recent updates from Apple, Safari won't open.
Do I need to re-install from disc?
If so, how can I just install Safari? (The instruction manual suggests that i would have to re-install OS X and all applications).
Thanks

Hi Kat (and Cat ),
Give these steps a try:
1. Move the current Safari application from the Applications folder to your Desktop
2. Insert your Leopard installation DVD into the machine
3. Reinstall Safari using the custom install method [described here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1442] (the article refers to 10.4 but I believe it still works in 10.5)
4. Download the [10.5.4 combo update|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html] to your computer
5. Run Disk Utility and [repair disk permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/du h17.html] on your startup disk
6. Rerun the 10.5.4 update on your machine to reapply the update
As with all system installations, please make sure you have backed up any essential documents just in case something bad happens.
If the new Safari in the Applications folder now works, feel free to delete the copy you made on your Desktop earlier on.

Updated iTunes--won't open without agreeing to Ping

Just updated iTunes and tried to open it. Got a message saying I had signed up for Ping, and I hadn't. Not interested in Ping, declined agreement but iTunes won't open to let me proceed without Ping. Why can't I just decline and proceed without it? All topics are about getting rid of it after accepting. Am I able to avoid it in the first place?
Thanks!

good lord.
okay, it's plausible that you've got two different problems going on at once here.
underlying it might be a version of a drive letter confusion:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
(see also the link to the MS KB doc)
... which is working so that either your My Music folder has either accidentally made its way on to the ipod, or that it's only being seen when the ipod is plugged in.
when it's not being seen, you get the problem described in this document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... is there any particular reason why you have to have your "My Music" folder on your F drive, rather than your C drive?

IPhoto update and Won't open and lost all of my images !?!

I'm a photography student and store my images in iphoto, I updated it today, once its finished I go to look in iphoto and it says that my mac is too old for the newer version! ITS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD! I then went onto finder to see if my images are still there and theres nothing there! Please can someone try and help me retreive them, Theres photos that I need in order to finish my degree!!!!

I plugged in the external with my backed up library and we told it needed to update the library to open it. I am concerned this will mss up like the library on my MBP.
Copy this Library to your Main Hard Drive (a different folder than the current iPhoto Library) and open it with iPhoto:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
It will open and update the Library. If it works, trash the damaged one and put this one it it's place.
With Time Machine you can restore just elements, you don't have to restore the whole system

Firefox update 10 won't open and the previous version 3.6 won't load any pages. I have done everything this site said to do. HELP?

The last version of Firefox that I had was the one before 3.6. I stopped upgrading due to it always messing up and not working right for me... whether it be due to vista, or just errors on your part. My husband decided to upgrade firefox to the newest one two days ago because the version I had was just "too slow!" Ever since he did that, I cannot get firefox to open. No matter how many times I uninstall it and delete everything mozilla on my computer then reinstall after restarting my computer, it just refuses to open. Every time i try it says that firefox has stopped working. It cant even check for solutions. I then try to click on the icon and I get something that says: firefox.exe - Bad Image C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_none_d09154e044272b9a\MSVCP80.dll is either not designed to run n windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
I have tried installing it over and over again several times, same message shows up. So i had clicked on the link to go download the previous version of firefox... what sucks is that the only version on the site is 3.6.27. I have never upgraded to this. So the second i installed that version, i now am able to open up firefox... BUT it is unable to connect. I have internet... a pretty bad ass connection. So my internet is not the problem. I then looked up how to fix that issue and did all 5 things listed under the Firefox cant load pages but other browsers can link. Still nada! I am now stuck using IE and going insane. I am on the verge of throwing my laptop out of the damn window because I have to wait 3 hours for google to load. Nothing is working for me... and it would be appreciated for something more. If i can get help with a ton of details on what to do or how to fix this issue... either version... i would greatly appreciate it. I am going nuts having to put up with IE because my husband decided to update Firefox to a version that sucks with vista!

Here is the system requirements page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older has the latest 3.6.x version, and http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ is another option.

HP dmg firmware update files won't open in Lion

Another nasty suprise in lion...
Just bought a HP p1102w printer to replace an old HP 5p I've got an iPad 2 and iMac. Really wanted to be able to print wirelessly to the p1102w from the iPad 2. The printer installed fine on the iMac and works great.
When I went to establish a wifi connection, nothing was visible in airprint. Once again, HP (and apple) are touting that ipads will be able to wirelessly print and the setup is easy etc. Apple recommends the HP p1102w as a functioning printer...
Apple always seems to be left behind in the HP development process and once again it seems to be true. After an hour on the phone, the HP people told me the drivers need firmware update. So, I downloaded it ( LJP1100_P1560_P1600_FW_Update.dmg ) When I went to open the image and run the update, the driver update had the old "appleworks" logo on it. When clicking to update, nothing happened.
Called HP again and they said, "Probably just bad download." Redid it and same result. Upon further conversations I pressed them on why lion would run the update... When they looked into it, they basically said, "Looks like our updaters don't work with lion." Of course, they said it's apple's fault for releasing Lion. I mentioned they probably haven't spent any time checking anything till lion arrived (they admitted they don't do any updating till final product is out).
He did say that the firmware update ran fine in snowleopard, so I should just install it on a machine running 10.6.8 (ha! not rich enough to afford 3 or 4 computers a one time). They said they're working on it, but who knows when it will work.
so, I've got a new iPad 2, a new printer and a new OS on my iMac and can't get the firmware to update so printer will work for iPad 2.
I don't understand why the firmware update can't be somehow sent to the iPad 2... This whole system of doing things for my iPad 2 through iTunes or another computer is rather confoluted. Just wish the iPad 2 ran a unix base and didn't have to mess with a placenta like iTunes.
Sorry for the long rant... The question is:
How can I get my iPad 2 to print to the hp P1102w asap (I hate to wait for HP, apple always gets second class treatment for development with them...)
Also, beware of some updates on images may no run in lion. Looks like they used ppc or programing and doesn't work now. All sorts of nasty suprizes when you obliterate the ability to run some of the software for earlier OSs....
(Too bad apple doesn't keep rosetta or some translator for these older OSs... I've now got 1000's of Appleworks files and other ppc software files that can't be opened anymore).

OK, I did a bit more work, here is a workaround that I verified works on 10.7.
- Download the HP Firmware
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL32545/bi-95186-1/LJP1100_P1560_P1600_ FW_Update.dmg
- Disconnect your computer's ethernet. Turn off your computer's AirPort.
- Connect the printer to your computer via USB
- Run the utility
- Follow the instructions from there

After iTunes 10.6 update, program won't open

I just downloaded the iTunes 10.6 update and now my iTunes will not open. The icon in my dock will jump a few times, as if the program were opening, but then nothing happens. Any fixes?

I am having exactly the same problem. More specifically, after not loading, it comes up with the following message:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13010)."
Can anybody help?

After Update ITUNES Won't Open, Apparent Quicktime Problem, PLEASE HELP

I Have recently updated my Itunes, after installation of the updates I was unable to access itunes due to a problem with Quicktime. After trying to repair quicktime, with no luck, I have uninstalled (following Apple’s support system). There were two programs labelled “Apple Application Support”, one allowed me to delete and the other older one didn’t delete and came up with the prompts below, so I just installed itunes/quicktime again. The same response happened when trying to open itunes. So I followed Apple’s support system and deleted all I could again. What was left is below, any help would be extremely useful.
In “Uninstall or Change a Program” of windows 7, I was unable to delete Version 1.1.0 which is 32.3 MB installed on the 03/03/2010 of the Apple Application Support.
*When deleting it comes up with a box that says:*
+The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.+
+Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package ‘appleApplicationSupport.msi’ in the below box.+
C:UsersSeanAppDataLocalTempIXP722.TMP
I could only follow the path to the “Temp” part …\IXP722.TMP does not exist in that folder.
_Any Help with this problem would be Greatly appreciated._

This kind of problem often responds to using the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility. Here is a method:
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista and Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
