iMessages refuses to open on macbook
Last night, iMessages on my Macbook Pro was working fine. This morning, he refuses to open and I continually have to force quit. I restarted my computer several times for nothing doesn't. The only thing I can think is I changed the Admin password before going to bed, but can't see how this is related. Help, please!
May be a corrupt .plist.
Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J. When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder. Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist. Move the .plist on your desktop.
Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.
If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.
If this does not work, repeat the above, but remove the com.apple.imagent.plist
Thank you Leonie and Ralph Johns (UK) , that some information contained in the present.
If this does not work,
Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolate a problem by using a different user account
If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account. Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

I've migrated the content of my iMac to a new Macbook. The content included CS6. It is open to all first and later refused to open, flashing the Adobe icon briefly. I had a Time Machine backup for just once I migrated the iMac for Macbook, thinking my remove programs and components in some sort of corrupted unwanted video Photoshop. It's the same thing. Apple does not know what to do and Adobe said maybe someday someone on the forum will have the right answer. In the meantime, my Macbook is useless for me.
Migration does not work for Adobe products. You must install using files of facilities. Uninstall what you have currently on the computer, and then use the cleaning tool. After that, download the installation files and install using your serial number.

Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -

But SDHC should be supported.Are you able to format the card in FAT32 format?

6.3 Lightroom refuses to open after an automatic update Windows 10 Pro
My computer refuses to open Lightroom 6.3 after my software has been updated automatically by SM. When I try to open Lightroom, I get a message dialog informing me that Lightroom has been checking the integrity of the Lightroom Catalog. After 20 seconds of audit, the dialog box disappears and the Lightroom program does not open.
When this error occurred initially, after the automatic updates of Windows Pro 10, I tried to fix the problem with Lightroom 6.2.1 opting for Lightroom 6.3. After the Lightroom 6.3 upgrade, I am unable to open my Lightroom program and edit images.
