You are opening for the first time, but I'm not

Recently I have been getting this message sporadically with some applications after a restart. Parallels even asks to be re activated sometimes. Also, more often than not after a restart my Safari home page has defaulted back to the apple web site.
I have done a complete reinstall of the OS from the retail SL disk and run the software updater. I have repaired permissions and verified the disk. Lastly I have dumped the com.apple.luanchservice.plst and cache.
Please... any other suggestions. Its a macbook pro.

OK, I can concede this point. You need to disable APE when you do an install or update.
I have gradually got used to the lack of Fruitmenu. For my workflow its main function is available on the sidebar. My objection to the sidebar is that it is on every open window and constitutes a waste of space.
HoudaSpot is an excellent remedy for the loss for the shortcut for find-by-file-name in ML.
Does anybody know of a way to replace the functionallity of WindowShade, which is the only OS9.2 feature I still find indispensible?????????????????????????????????
Apple's minimize function is inferior to Windows because the minimized items are tiny due to sharing dock space with all the other things you have in the dock. However, I think it unlikely that Apple will return the functionallity of the dock back to the Apple Menu and provide a Windows-esque minimization function. This is why WindowShade is an actual requirement on an Apple OS, not just a mere whim.

Of course there is. There is with any computer system that you connect to the internet or transfers files to and from. When you run Windows on your Mac you increase the chance from zero that you will get a Windows based virus to virtualy the same risk as any other Windows user.
The weaknesses in Windows OS and applications are well trodden by virus and worm malcontents the world over. That doesn't mean that OSX is exempt though. All it will take is once and the entire Mac world will sit up and take notice......

Once you launch Safari for the FIRST time, do you seee what am looking at?

I received MBP yesterday.
I launched safari.
I typed www.
AND
I saw a series of address including 20-30 RRS address as well.
There was NewYork Times, Flower oder site, and hotstuffworks.com as well. Some of them are registered as RRS (around 40 site) there are some others as well.
Did you see this when you launch Safari for the first time.
I called Applecare and after sales center and they said nothing worng if machine is working fine.
Would you let me know what you guys experienced with your MBP?

It's fine. They are the default bookmarks. You can see and change them from the bookmarks menu or by clicking the "book" symbol under the "back" arrow.

The warranty is only good in the U.S.
You woulod have to send it to someone in the U.S. They could take it in and if it is defective, then it would be replaced.

ScreenSaverEngine says it's opening for the first time

Greetings everyone,
For some reason, starting this morning, I am getting a popup that says "You are opening the application "ScreenSaverEngine" for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?"
If I click open, it disappears and nothing happens. I try launching the screensaver again and the popup comes back. I tried this fix in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2165990&tstart=0 and that didn't work. I can go to screensaverengine.app directly and launch the screensaver just fine. It's when it tries to automatically launch that I get this message.
Any ideas?

Nevermind, a reboot fixed it. by the by, this started happening after awakening the macbook pro from sleep.

Preview always "thinks" it is opening for the first time...

When opening images in Preview, it always says that "Open this document will open the application 'Preview' for the first time" - no matter how many times you open/close Preview, restart, trash preferences, etc. Where does OS X keep track of this setting/information?
Thanks.

Hi Edwin,
no matter how many times you open/close Preview, restart, trash preferences, etc.
* Just to be sure, trash the com.apple.Preview.plist
You will find this in: HD/User/Your_Name/Preferences
Good luck ...

I have a 5 month old Magic Mouse and I want to replace the batteries for the first time but the battery door will not release any suggestions?

The battery compartment door on my Magic Mouse appears to be jammed shut and will not open, the device is only 5 months old and this is the first time I have needed to open it to change the batteries. Are there any suggestions?

It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost. Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.

"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.

My mac is freezing on start up. its brand new just opened for the first time. installed the updates and it froze. can anyone help?

My new mac is freezing on start up. after the initial start up, i did software updates and now its frozen. can anyone help?

If this is really a NEW Macbook Pro and this happened the first time you turned it on and did Software Updated then you need to take it back to where you bought it and RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND. Then decide whether to buy another NEW unit or move on to something else.
Apple has a No Questions Asked 14 day return policy. Take advantage of that and return this unit. This type of thing should NOT happen on a Brand new notebook.

Unhandled exception when code runs for the first time,but works fine the second

Hi All,
I have the following code snippet
private void RGL_Click(object sender, RibbonControlEventArgs e)
Word._Document oDoc;
oDoc = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument;
object start = oDoc.Content.Start;
object end = oDoc.Content.End;
oDoc.Range(ref start, ref end).LanguageID = WdLanguageID.wdEnglishCanadian;
oDoc.Range(ref start, ref end).NoProofing = 0;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ReadabilityStatistic DocStats;
DocStats = oDoc.ReadabilityStatistics[10];------>exception occurs here when code runs first time
MessageBox.Show(DocStats.Name + " " + DocStats.Value);
When I copy paste a document and click on the button it raises a COM exception but if I click continue and click on the button again, the correct grade level score is displayed.Cant figure out why this is happening.

Thanks for the answer Eugene, this exception never shows up if I type something and click on the rgl button , but if i open a huge document that is already in Canadian english and click on this ribbon it gives me the following exception

Working in code view selects whole blocks of text when a page is opened for the first time

This is really annoying feature of dreamweaver, I assume it serves a purpose but I do not know what it is. If I open a document (I generally always work in code view) then select the area I wish to, say, copy and then press control and c, the whole block of code becomes selected (so my selection expands). That isn't what I selected so why does it do this? If I click outside the code view - on to css styles for example - then I can now select the lines of code I want and can work with the code as intended. If I save the document, tab to another document in dreamweaver and tab back again, the same happens. So, everytime I open a document I have to click CSS styles before I can work with the document as intended. I've been working with this for a while and it's go to the point where it makes me cry. It's not quite as annoying as working with the old ftp service but it's not far off.
