You are opening app...for the first time - warning???

I get this message sometimes when I double click a file to open an application even though the app has been used innumerable times? ANyone know why?
Thanks - JAY

Jay,
I have a copy of OnyX but I reserve it for troubleshooting.
As stated by Wade, and presented by Dr. Smoke in Maintaining Mac OS X (Maintenance myths) most maintenance applications are in fact troubleshooting tools.
I use Macaroni for regular automated (set it and forget it) maintenance and also for cleaning language-specific localized files for languages I do not use.

Opening application for the first time warning keeps coming

I've installed VLC player and amongst other media files set mp4 to automatically open with it. When I double click a mp4 file it asked 'You are opening the application 'VLC Player' for the first time' etc. Pressed ok. After that it didn't ask that any more.
However, every time I reboot my Mac and double click a mp4 file again, I keep getting that 'You are opening the application 'VLC Player' for the first time' warning popup again the first time I want to open a media file. Then it's gone again, until I reboot my Mac again.
Every time I reboot and want to play a media file I always get that 'first time' popup. It only happens with VLC Player. I've uninstalled it completely and reinstalled it again, but that 'first time' popup for VLC Player keeps coming every time I reboot and upon the first time I open a media file.
How can I fix that?

Did you copy VLC to Applications folder? When you download VLC, you get it in a DMG file, that you have to open, and here's VLC. However, you don't have to copy the VLC copy you find in it, but you have to drag the VLC icon to the Applications icon:
Then, drag the VLC DMG file you find in the Desktop, drag it to Trash and delete the VLC installer from Downloads folder. Finally, open VLC from Applications folder

Running app for the first time NOT

Suddenly I get this message for some of my Applescript apps I have been using for years,
"You are opening the application “name.app” for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?"
Even after saying yes and running it the message persists every time. I have verified using the terminal that the quarantine flag is not set for the app.
Any thoughts on this? Better, any solutions?

Check your Gatekeeper settings.

I downloded iphoto 11 9.2 and when opened it for the first time and the program started to update my iPhoto library the file got corrupted. That has happened in the two macs I have (both of them rather new and updated to last Lion version 10.7.2).

I downloaded Iphoto 11 9.2 from the apps store (was on iphoto '09 before version 8.x) and when opened it for the first time it tried to update my photo librery and ended up corupting it to the extreme that I had to get a backup from time capsule and downgrade my iphoto version. I spent yesterday 6 hours at the genius bar in an apple store and they were not able to provide me with any other solution. In the emantime, I have to forget about about photo streaming... Any idea, is this a bug that somebody knows how tp fix?

In fairness, this isn't an issue in iPhoto 11 but one in your Library. Some file or other in there is damaged and that's what causes the crash during the upgrade.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

Download music from ipod when opening iTunes for the first time?

I just got a new iMac at work and the first time I plugged my iPod into the comupter to charge it up it opened my iTunes and then started to download all my songs from my iPod. Being 7am I wasn't thinking properly and pressed cancle to stop the download, then I remember I have 500GB free memory and why shouldn't I have my music on the computer. The problem is I can't get it to download the music again. I know you not ment to be able to download from your ipod but that is what happened.
I have tried completely uninstalling iTunes by removing the icon in Applications and in the User>Music folder to get the same result but it makes no difference, where I once had a couple of meg's worth of music which had started to download I have none. Can somebody please explain to me how this happened and how I can revert iTunes back to how it was before I opened it so I can quickly download all my music onto my computer??

We'll unfortunately that's not true. I had though that was the case as well until this happened. I wasn't sure if this a new feature that iTunes had for when you first attach an ipod to a new iTunes (where you need to go through the terms and conditions, and set up your settings at the beginging).
I have downloaded very little from the iTunes store and the things which got downloaded were some funny adds which I had converted and put on my ipod as well as some AC/DC, some Beatles and a collection of 179 other songs (I'd be lucky if I've downloaded 5 songs in my life from iTunes). Before deleting everything in the hope that I could do it again I even played a couple of them in case all it had done was take the album artwork or something. But they all play fine and none of them were ones I had downloaded.
Does anyone know what's happened and how it can be repeated?
As to the other ways of getting music of your ipod I'm aware of them and have used irip in the past without any problems. I know how to do it that way but now that I have been made aware of this other way I was wanting to clear up how it happened and if it can be repeated, say if I was to reinstall iTunes.

Buttons are not displayed for the first time when drawImage method is used

Hi
In my swing window 2 buttons are there and when clicking these buttons, it should display an image . The two buttons are displayed at the first time and I can click on it . While clicking a button , the corresponding image is also got displayed. [ I am using drawImage() function for it] But what the problem is, then the two buttons are not displayed and it will be displayed again when the mouse moves along the position of these two buttons. And this problem occurs only at the first time..When they are on the window on a second time, they won't vanish when the image is displayed when clicking it. Is this the problem with paint() method?. I am using start() method also.
Please help me!
Thank You

Hi
This is not my exact program, that has a large no: of code. So I am putting here a sample one. One thing I would like to point out is that , I can see the buttons at the time of loading the applet and suddenly it vanishes and the image is drawn. Then if I move the mouse along the position of these buttons , they got displayed.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
/*<applet code = MyClass width = 500 height = 500>
</applet>
public class MyClass extends JApplet
Image img;
JButton b1,b2;
Container cp;
Canvas1 cv;
class Canvas1 extends JPanel
public void paint(Graphics g)
super.paint(g);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.fillRect(0,0,500,500);
img = getImage(getCodeBase(),"image1.jpeg");
g.drawImage(img,20,20,this);
public void start()
cv = new Canvas1();
cv.setBounds(0,0,500,500);
cp.add(cv);
public void init()
setLayout(null);
cp = getContentPane();
b1 = new JButton("Button1");
b1.setBounds(1,1,100,30);
cp.add(b1);
b2 = new JButton("Button2");
b2.setBounds(200,1,100,30);
cp.add(b2);
It would be very helpful to me if you could fix the problem.
Thank You.

When I open FF4 for the first time after starting the computer it is very slow to load. From then on it loads normaly.

I have an HP Pavilion DV9000.

I had this problem too. Not just with FF 4 but also previous versions. For that and other reasons I decided to by an SSD and install windows and all the programs on there. That worked fine except for firefox. Boot time is much faster (2o secs) and programs (from the startup folder) are loaded almost immediately after the desktop comes up. However firefox still took 90 seconds to load. After some trial and error I disables in the registry prefetcher and superprefetch (I am running windows 7, no SP1). Then I restarted my computer twice. The first time firefox did not load any faster but at any subsequent startup firefox starts in a few seconds. In fact some times it is so fast it comes up before the wireless network connection is established. HTH
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/SessionManager/MemoryManagement/PrefetchParamaters/EnablePrefetcher --> 0

"Application opened for the first time" warning after every reboot

Hello, I have a problem with Lion 10.7.5. The system does not remember that I already opened applications before. After every reboot, every time I open an application it displays the warning as if it's the first time I'm opening it. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In my case, the problem disappeared after I installed the 10.7.5 supplemental update.

I just opened iWeb for the first time in several months and the fonts have changed and are garbled in the headers. Is this a result of switching to Lion, and does this mean I have to go through all 70 pages on my site and manually change them back?

The text on my pages are messed up. The letters in my headers are on top of each other and the letters in the body of my pages have no separation between them. Is this a result of switching to Lion? (I haven't opened iWeb in several months, since before I installed Lion.) Any ideas of how to fix this, or do I need to go text block by text block and page by page to put it back right? Thanks.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
