X11 not working, screwing up other applications

X11 hasn't been working under my main account on my MacBook for about a year now, but it worked under another user name for some reason so I was ignoring the problem. It recently became more of a problem to switch account names, so I tried to fix it yesterday and broke something. I thought it was a problem with the display variable, but changing it didn't help. Someone suggested downloading Xquartz, but that stopped X11 from working entirely. I restored it to an earlier version but somehow screwed up the libraries, so now not only can I not use X11 at all, I can't use anything that calls it - I can't open IDL, VPN, and cut and paste stopped working.
Here's a recent error message:
$idl
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/bliXp.6.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/itt/idl704/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64/libidl.7.0.dylib
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/usr/X11/lib/libXp.6.dylib: can't map
Trace/BPT trap
IDL would start up just fine before I started trying to fix X11. Any ideas about what I can do to fix this? I'm a thousand miles away from my install disks and that's not changing anytime soon, and last time I did an install I lost Parallels (also a thousand miles away, and I can't work without it). But I could get to an Apple store (not covered under warranty though).

Try the Unix forum under OS X Technologies.

I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My apple wireless mouse will not scroll in Mail but works fine in other applications.
Any suggestions?

First, see this discussion. If the solution suggested there doesn't work for you, continue.
If you've installed a Mail plugin called "Mail Unread Menu" and you know how to remove it, please do that, then quit and relaunch Mail. Test. Otherwise, see below.
Back up all data.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and its the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If that doesn't solve it then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.

Hi all ,
We found the solution for this issue .
We have installed the crypto library in global executable directory and any way it will replicate those binaries to individual application servers.
But the parameters are still looking for global executable directory for loading crypto library during time.
So all application servers are trying to load crypto library files from global "exe" instead of local directory, which was clustered .Sometimes during heavy network load it may cause some delays to load the libraries to individual application servers and in turn is causing the license key issues.
Note 982056 - The license key library has not been initialized yet..
SAP Recommend option for all SSF parameters should be instance profile parameters not in default parameters..This was mentioned in below note:
Note 662340 - SSF Encryption Using the SAPCryptolib --- .
But in our Environment SSF and SEC parameter were set in DEFAULT profile instead Instance profile.
Recommendations:
o ssf/ssfapi_lib = <Path and file name of SAPCRYPTOLIB>
o sec/libsapsecu = <Path and file name of SAPCRYPTOLIB>
This was mentioned in the below SAP HELP.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

HI JUST COPYED CALL OF DUTY FROM ONE OF MY MACS TO OTHER IT WILL NOT WORK ON THE OTHER ONE?

Are you saying that you bought the game from the App store and made another copy onto a dvd so you can play it on another computer too? If so, you can not do that, you have to buy it again for the other computer.

When a pdf file is opened in a tab, the automatic scroll function from the pad does not work in the other tabs, but only for the particular PDF tab.

The scroll function from the pad/mouse does not work for the other tabs when a PDF file is opened.

Hi NSHS,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
Hopefully this helps!

When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

You can only update an app from the AppleID that was used to purchase it.

The Mac was recently upgraded so it is the Mac, or is it?
Looking for a common denominator: I'l start with wi-fi as the common communication medium.
Known:
A) Broken: iPhone —> wi-fi —> Mac.
B) Broken: iPhone —>USB—> Mac.
C) Broken: iPhone —> Bluetooth —> Mac.
D) Working: Mac —> USB —> other USB devices.
Unknowns:
E) Test Mac —> wi-fi —> a non-iPhone router.
F) Test iPhone —> wi-fi —> another wi-fi device.
Given not A, not B and not C either the Mac or the iPhone could be the culprit.
1) E        | F        : Non sequitur (deepens the mystery).
2) not E | F        : The Mac is the common denominator.
3) E        | not F : The iPhone is the common denominator.
4) not E | not F : All heck broke loose.
For case 1: It would be something on the Mac that prevents it talking to the iPhone through three media even though it can talk to other routers over wi-fi. That would be weird indeed, given the iPhone is talking to other wi-fi devices with no trouble.
For case 2: All of the Mac’s intranet media broken (wi-fi, Bluetooth, and wired-USB) and at least wi-fi works on the iPhone. Something weird is going on in the Mac.
For case 3: The iPhone router function is broken. Upgrade the iOS? Test using another iPhone?
For case 4: Throw everything in the trash and start over.

What do you mean it won't save date? What exactly are you pressing and what happens or doesn't happen?
Try this:
Open the Calendar App and Tap Calendar at the bottom of the screen. Make sure all calendars have checkmarks, then Tap Done. Do your events show up now?
