[WORKAROUND]Calibre no longer starting

Hello,
Since a couple days now calibre no longer starts. I left it alone hoping an update would fix it, I believe there was an update yesterday but it still won't launch. I'm have an ati card and I'm using the radeon driver from perry3d repository.
$ calibre

Reinstalled, added a new user. Same error as before with both users.
Is your system fully up to date?
I can run calibre w/o a problem on an nvidia card, 32-bit Arch.
Can you run calibre-debug?
There's an open bug for calibre, but the segmentation fault Dan is getting may not be the same thing as your problem https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27715

WORKAROUND ::
I installed catalyst-total from AUR, afterwards I rebooted and calibre worked fine. Seems like it might some sort of problem with the open source driver.

Plugging in camera no longer starts iPhoto

Hello,
Recently I found that plugging in my Canon S2 IS no longer starts iPhoto.
I see that in System Profiler, the camera shows up as a USB device, but Image Capture does not show that the camera is plugged in.
I have tried to:
- Use a card reader (which used to open iPhoto),
- Remove Image Capture and iPhoto .plist files,
- Use a different USB port,
- Plug in the camera when a different user is logged in,
- Recharged camera batteries,
- iPhoto repair (Shift+Option on start)
- Try a different, new SD card,
none of which starts iPhoto.
My current workaround is to use a card reader, manually mount the card with Disk Utility, start iPhoto, and manually import files. Not ideal.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for the suggestion, but the Image Capture setting was always set to open iPhoto (left that bit out of the original description).
As an experiment, I changed the option to open Image Capture, closed Image Capture, then plugged in the camera. Nothing happened. I then changed the option back to use "iPhoto".
Image Capture displays "No Image Capture device connected." even when the camera is pluggeed in.

MacBook pro no longer starts after a month of kernel panics. What to do?

After about a month of kernel panics, my Mac crashed one more time and will no longer start. It sits at a black screen and just beeps, sometimes once, three times or more. I've been waiting for a friend to bring me an osx startup disk so I can fix it from the disk utility, but in the meantime I've been avoiding suspect programs as well as starting the computer holding command + s and typing /sbin/fcsk fy as many people have told me, and each time it said my hard drive was all right. My friend is coming back this week with the disk, but I am afraid it will be impossible even to boot from that. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't have apple care or a warranty so going to the nearest apple store (one hour away) or the nearest servicer (a few minutes away) doesn't seem good. What should I do? I'm also slightly worried because I installed a firmware update not long before the panics started, to get around the region limitations of the DVD drive. I'm hoping this didn't cause any problems, since these panics seem to be related to RAM but the timing is just too convenient. Could this be a factor?

Thanks again BDAqua, and sorry for the long delay between reponses. The computer's been out of sight and out of mind for me the past few weeks, but my wife reminded meabiut it this morning.
So I tried the repair disk function within disk utility on the install disc, and everything seemed to be ok. I got a message in green that says "the volume Jeffs OW Mac appears to be ok." And then "Volume repair complete." I also noticed that the capicity of the drive appeared to be 119.69 GB and the available space 119.61 GB, which I guess meant the drive was completely empty but working.
So I tried once again to restore from my time machine backup, and wonder of all wonders, it worked this time! Two hours of restoration later, I'm writing to you now from the restored computer, and my wife is thrilled (and thinks I'm a genius!). So thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to walk me through the steps! I really appreciate it!
But now we're afraid to try again to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Do you think there's any reason trying again would throw the computer into another state of confusion, flux, and ultimately disaster, or should I just give it a shot? It's a 2009 Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, running OS X 10.5.8. Perhaps it just can't handle the new software?
All the best, and thanks so much again!
Jeff

ITunes no longer starting automatically with iPhone

I have an iPhone 4S. Running iTunes 11.0.4.4 on Windows 7.
iTunes used to start automatically when I plugged in my phone as it was set to do.
have not changed the settings, and that box is still checked but now iTunes no longer starts automatically.
When I manually start iTunes, it detects my phone as normal.
When I first plug in the phone, the PC detects it and gives me the Windows dialog box asking what I want to do with the device.
I've unchecked the box, saved that, and rechecked with no changes.

Hello mysticsinger,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

Best of luck,

Upgraded to lucid lynx-amd64, firefox will no longer start, even in safe mode, terminal reports segmentation fault.

Upgraded to Ubuntu lucid lynx 64bit platform, Firefox will no longer start, even in terminal safe mode - terminal reports Attempting to load the system libmoon Segmentation fault. Thunderbird works fine. Un-installed/re-installed to no success.

I completely uninstalled everything associated with firefox in synaptic package manager, then reinstalled the latest version of firefox again.
Evidently one of the add-ons was preventing firefox from opening, not sure which one though. I hope this will help someone else. Firefox is working now.

MacBook No Longer Starts

This is going to be a long one, so please bear with me.
I have a macbook, an original one (purchased May 2006), and have had many problems (hardware and software). My latest problem started when I put on the OSX.4.10 update. After the update it will no longer start ... it just hangs at the white apple screen (I've left it on for over 20 minutes).
As I've said, I've had many previous problems so I decide to just reimage OSX. I have another mac and connect it via target disk mode, but some directories take a long time to list, and sometimes completely hangs the host computer. Each target disk mode restart allows me to access different folders, so once I finally get my stuff backed up, I stick in the install disk.
The install disk starts fine but when it gets to the point of which destination to install, nothing is listed. So I open disk utility and run verify disk it says "invalid node structure" and "the volume needs to be repaired", but it also presents a modal dialog that says "first aid failed" and "the underlying task reported failure on exit". When I proceed and run repair disk it gives the same error.
So I read around and learn about fsck so I start the terminal, run the fsck as described here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
It doesn't do anything ... as if I just pressed enter at the prompt, it immediately returns. I just restate that at this point am at the main OSX install and using the utilities. The hard disk will not mount at all.
So what is going on? Is my disk dead and it is just a coincidence it happened after the update? What are my options?
And I should mention that I'm a software engineer and although it is certainly possible I missed something obvious, I've been repairing computers for many years.
Thanks for reading!

If you are logging into this drive as an external hard drive (which you are when you connect it via firewire to another computer) and you cannot pull up things like the directory listing then it is hardware because you are using a working OS on the second computer and just trying to read the bits of data. The data is corrupt and majority of times it is corrupt due to hardware and not software.

HP Pavilion dv7-6b03sg does no longer start

The laptop of my daughter does no longer start. It does not react at all. When connected to the power adapter the LED next to the power plug of the laptop is white, if the battery is not inserted and yellow, if the battery is inserted.
All other LEDs don´t react at all.
Hardware reset did not help.
Any idea about the reason?

Dead motherboard. Sorry.

Found my solution for my long start up. but more questions

When I first upgraded to 10.5 I had this problem (long start-up times and the long blue screen), did a clean install and all was good.
A few days ago it happened again all of a sudden. I did an archive and install, all was good.
It did it again today [:(] so I went about to try and troubleshoot it.
*Come to find out when my iPod mini is plugged in i get the slow start. when I unplug it and restart its fine. If its plugged in during startup it goes slow, as soon as I unplug the iPod mini from the USB port it loads right up.
Anyone know why that is?

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I figured. I've all ready fixed itunes so it wont open when the ipod is connected. But the problem remains.
I also just noticed that when its plugged in during startup I do not get the startup chime. I also tried it in different USB ports (between the two on the front) which had the same effect.
Also it does not matter if the ipod mini is on the charger. Same effect with just the empty dock plugged in. Know why that is? Could it be the dock is bad?

Xfce4 no longer starts from kdm [SOLVED]

I have somehow borked my Xfce4 setup. I've switched back and forth a few times between Xfce4 in /extra and Xfce4-svn. Somewhere I've done something so that I can no longer start Xfce4 from kdm. Instead, I have to open a terminal and manually do "startxfce4".
When I try to launch xfce4 from kdm, I get this segfault message:
xfce4-session[8818]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f92e95008a2
sp 00007ffff51bcc80 error 4 in libc-2.9.so[7f92e9461000+14a000]
I've done all kinds of manipulations of my ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.config/xfce4-session files, including toying with permissions and even zapping them altogether.
I've also uninstalled xfce4 entirely, then reinstalled.
And I've uninstalled xfce4-svn entirely, then reinstalled.
I've reinstalled glibc, thinking that there might be a conflict, and I rebuilt xfce4-session from abs. No go.
My other DE (KDE4) and wm (fluxbox) start fine from kdm.
FWIW, this is all that's in my ~/.xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
#~/.xinitrc
exec startxfce4
Here's my ~/.xsession:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xsession
# Executed by xdm/gdm/kdm at login
/bin/bash --login -i ~/.xinitrc
What am I missing?
Last edited by dhave (2009-01-01 15:25:18)

Solved, finally.
Following suggestions from Allan (mod), I deleted these files, then restarted:
~/.config/xfce4
~/.config/xfce4-session
~/.cache/xfce4
Thanks!
right again. When I followed Allan's suggestion, I didn't simultaneously delete . I had deleted them before, but to get a really fresh start, I needed to delete all of them at once before restarting.

Adobe AAM no longer starts ...

I have CC (Photoshop only), but since installing the CC manager, AAM no longer starts.
If I click the AAM shortcut, I get the CC manager.
I tried to un-install AAM, but could not find it in the list of programs to un-install (Windows 7 64bit).
I removed the OOBD folder containing AAM and re-downloaded and re-installed AAM. That installed a shortcut to AAM on my desktop again (I had deleted the previous shortcut). It definitely points to AAM (See below), but when I click it up comes the CC manager.
I CAN start AAM by opening Photoshop-CC, and going to "Help | Updates" -- seems a bit of a round-about way to get AAM???
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDapp.exe" --appletID=CCM_UI --appletVersion=1.0 --workflow=CCM_workflow_launch

Hi Dennis Smith,
CC desktop is actually the update for the Adobe application manager.
This Creative cloud desktop tool has the same ( infact some more) features as Adobe application manager.
Please let us know incase if you are facing any problem using Creative cloud desktop.
Thanks

After downloading the new version of iTunes the program will no longer start on my MAC. any ideas?

after downloading the new version of iTunes on my MAC book pro it will no longer start. any ideas?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

Adobe Acrobat Pro X will no longer start up.

I have been using my version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X for a while with no problems but suddenly today, after I restarted my computer, the program will no longer start up. What would be the best way to fix this problem?

We can't know. You're not telling us anything about your system or the specific error/ behavior you see.

Installed applications no longer start

Today all the applications I have installed on my iPad (and were working) no longer start. Applications that were pre-installed on the machine are all working fine. I haven't installed anything new today or made any changes. Anyone have any thoughts?

First, download any free app directly to you iPad and try gain.
If this ones not solve it, go into Ttunes, Apps, deselect all apps but those pre-installed, do a sync, then re-select the appropriate apps, sync again and have another try.
If all that does not work then see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097 where you might consider putting your device into recovery mode.

Soundtrack no longer starts

I work with Final Cut Express 3.5. I've never updated to version 4.
Unexpectedly, Soundtrack no longer starts. When I try to launch, I've the message " Soundtrack has unexpectedly quit". I've reinstalled the application from the original dvd "Final Cut Express Dvd Install"
but the risult didn't change.
Anyone can give me an answer ?
Many Thanks.
Oscarf.

I have an eMac 800mhz which I had FCE 3.5 loaded on and working fine. I then bought the iMac i7, transferred the FCE 3.5 software to the i7 and bought the FCE 4.0 upgrade. Apple is in big trouble! It clearly states on the packaging that Final Cut Express 4 is an upgrade! How can it be an upgrade if Soundtrack doesn't work with my new computer. This is Apple not Microsoft! I know why Apple did this, because they wanted people to upgrade to FCS which does work with Soundtrack. I have just spent $3000 on the latest machine with the FCE 4.0 and I feel ripped off. I suspect that everyone else on this same thread is in the same boat as me. The Apple tech guy said that he was aware of work arounds out there that would make it work, but that they were not authorized by Apple. If there are work arounds then the excuse given to me earlier today by another Apple tech guy was wrong - it is not because I have an Intel based computer, it is that Apple doesn't want us to have access to a great software application that they feel belongs in FCS. FCE is great for us filmmakers that create on a shoe-string budget. For all of us left out in the cold Apple should come to the party and fix this. This is not in keeping with basic Apple philosophy.

I can no longer start some applications (i.g. Office and Photoshop)

Hi!
Since a few weeks i can no longer start some applications in Mac OS Tiger that worked perfectly before:
- The complete Microsoft Office suite (incl. Update)
- Finale PrintMusic
- Adobe Photoshop
When I try to start them, their symbols just jump some times in the dock and then disappear again.
I deinstalled Finale PrintMusik in order to reinstall it afterwards. But when I double-click the install-file from the cd it's the same: it jumps and disappears.
I repaired my permissions, ran the daily, weekly and monthly scripts and reset the P-RAM.
Any ideas?
Thanks

This problem occurred for many people after updating to QuickTime 7.2, and was traced to Java 6:

If that isn't the case for you, you might be able to fix the problem just by updating prebindings:
