Why won't PS/CS5 open with newly installed Mac OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)?

I've just installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro (before trying it on my iMac). The only incompatible s/w identified in the installation process was DivX. Photoshop (CS5), however, refuses to open, at all. No compatibility issues have been reported, so what's up and how to I get it to work?
Thanks,
Lee

When I got around to _thinking_ and not just reacting, I realised that Mavericks has been out there a while and so has CS5, and figured that it couldn't be a unique problem. So, I asked the question of my browser of choice and up popped that particular link (there were others). I read it and it seemed to make sense, so I updated Java as it indicated and Hey, Presto! back in business. I'm a happy camper again.

Why won't my Firefox open with my home page instead of a blank tab?

The browser always opens in a new tab even when I have it set to open in my home page. When I have Firefox set as my default browser it opens in a new blank tab when I click a link in a document or email. The only time I get my home page on opening Firefox, is if the browser is already open and I choose to open a new window. However, when I do that I lose my yahoo toolbar settings for the newly opened window. Yes, I have tried removing cookies, and that does not work. This problem is exasperating, I do not like IE, but I use it because it opens links without my having to keep the browser open all the time.

Hi tigerleatoo, I'm not sure I understand your question.
When you launch Firefox using its program icon, you should get your preference from the following tab:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General > "When Firefox starts"
So in your case, you should see your home page(s).
When Firefox is completely closed and you launch it using a link in email or a document, Firefox usually will ONLY open that linked page and nothing else. Are you getting a blank tab in addition? Do you want your home page in addition?
Is the problem that you want external links to open a new window when Firefox is already running?
Firefox tries to follow your preference for new tabs vs. new windows for both internal and external links.
In other words, if you have set Firefox to open new windows in a tab here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Tabs
Then external links will usually open in an existing window rather than in their own window.
There is a way to split these so they behave differently, but because the steps are detailed, I won't burden you with those unless you need them.

Why won't my ipad open with the correct pass codWe?

My ipad will not open even though I type in the correct pass code.

Either you are mistaken about the correct passcode or someone changed it.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Why won't my iMac G5 let me install Leopard OSX?

I am desperately trying to install Leopard OS X. It will not let me install and I brought the whole computer to the genius bar and they told me to install more RAM which I proudly did myself. It is still not working. When I put the CD in it lets me click on install then restart. But when the computer restarts all that happens is a gray screen with apple logo and timeclock. The fan races loudly and eventually I just have to shut it down and restart holding the mouse just to get the CD out. HELP PLEASE. I am SO frustrated.
Terry

First of all, does the new RAM you installed show up in your System Profiler? Are you using a retail copy of Leopard (the one with the starry sky and the big X on it)?
Let us know the answers to the questions and we can take it from there,

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Why won't my iphoto open - it is there in applications ?

my iphoto won't open... But the pictures are still there
I added a disc and somehow have zipped some files
How can I get this reset to a different day?
Can you do that with a MacBook?

Sorry but with that amount of information no one can help
We can not see you or your computer and can not read your mind so you have to actually tell us details
Start with the version of iPhoto and of the OS and details about what is happening
Why won't my iphoto open - it is there in applications ?
I believe you are saying that the iPhoto Application is in your Applications folder which is good
my iphoto won't open
Ok - but exactly what does happen? telling us the problem without details does not give us anything to work with
My car won't start - Why?
But the pictures are still there
Does this mean tha the iphoto library is still there? or that you see the photos in iPhoto? Exactly what does it mean?
I added a disc and somehow have zipped some files
Is this revelant to the issue? If so then again details - what does "added a disk" mean and what disk did you "add"? Wnd what exactly did you do to "somehow zip some files"? What files did yoo\u "somehow zip"? What did you do with the files you "somehow zipped"?
How can I get this reset to a different day?
I have no idea what you want to know here
Can you do that with a MacBook?
What is "that"?

Why won't logic 7 open after installing PT LE 7

does anyone know why logic 7 isn't opening after i installed PT LE 7? i just upgraded to tiger and PT 7 but now my Logice 7.1.1 won't open. it freezes while trying to start up and then i have to 'force quit' in order to shut it back down. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
david

Pro Tools LE and Logic Pro don´t have anything to do with each other. Installing PT LE 7 shouldn´t change anything with your Logic setup, unless of course you use your digidesign hardware in Logic as well.
If you use the digi hardware as your interface in Logic, try to drag the digi core audio driver out of its folder and try to start Logic again. The digi core audio driver used to cause a lot of trouble.
Also, if you had Logic on your system before, try to throw away all its preferences, especially the Logic PM data! Check the prefs folder in the system (root) folder and your user prefs folder as well.

Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

Hey there Ray_J,
I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences

If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work? If so, this may help you. A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS. This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed.
Before You Start
Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS. The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer. It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.
USB. You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m). Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer. Do not use a USB hub.
Ethernet cable. Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
Wireless. You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network.
1.     Installing Via USB
Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users. In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection. If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install. In Windows 8, that will not be a problem. If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work. Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s really that easy.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Alternate Install Methods
With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS. These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system. If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless. Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest. There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason. You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates.
Printer Install Wizard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Windows Update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date. Check the support site linked below for driver availability. I will update this post once they become available.

Ok, so sometimes apple's servers may crash, temporarily. Just check the following site: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/systemstatus/
and it will notify you of any crashes. The link above is for the UK. Change to adapt to your country if you are outside of the UK. If your problem isn't listed I am sure it will be resolved within 24 hours. If this problem persists best thing is to contact apple.
Hope this helped :)
