Well, I have rebooted finder at least 10 times, and even deleted finder's prefs file, and I guess that sorta helped finder always work but i'm still having the invisible desktop problem. I guess I shall try this safe boot thing.

Yes, the finder problem had been fixed from me uninstalling firefox, but the invisible desktop icons problem is still here. Hope you don't mind me asking, but what will restarting in safe boot mode do? Will it clear any data or files?

I deleted finder's preferences as you said and now finder seems to always work. I also uninstalled firefox from the admin user, and that seemed to help also, but now I am stuck on this desktop problem: the items aren't showing up! Oddly enough, when I click on where one should be, it appears...

Okay I have an update: It appears the main cause for all this is finder. Finder well, has SHUT DOWN. When you click it, nothing opens up, and when finder is active, you cannot log out (using apple-log out) or even the keyboard shortcut. And the whole apple menu with sys prefs, etc doesn't work...

Just a little bit ago, my father updated firefox to 2.0.0.7 so then I logged into my user and noticed something was wrong: the desktop icons weren't showing up. So I preceded to right click on the desktop and opened the desktop view settings or whatever its called. I noticed they were all...

Problem solved, the command was this: "Documents/MBA.app/Contents/MacOS/MarbleBlast Gold" -test movingplatform_test.dif

I just thought that if I typed: "MBA\Contents\MacOS\MarbleBlast Gold" -test (interiorName).dif then it would work because I am directing it to the unix executable it would be like an exe for windows, but it doesn't seem to. Am I using my backward/forward slashes right? BTW it gives me: "-bash...

Yes, I figured that part out quite easily, but I wanted it to have the same effect as typing that stuff into windows run application. Basically what it does for windows is also loads the program (application) and then it executes the "-test interiorname.dif. So obviously macs do not have an exe...

Hello all, I was wondering how I would get the same result as typing this into the Run program on a windows: "Marbleblast\marbleblastgold.exe" -test (interiorName).dif Obviously, I do know that macs do not support exe's so the application obviously did not have an exe, only package...

I tried that, and it still didn't work. I shut down the computer and powered back up, and it has disappeared. Thanks anyways.

It seems my camera made a folder on my desktop after ejecting the camera and disconnecting it from the computer called "Untitled" and it seems not to want to eject. Any help appreciated.

I accidentally added a volume to the finder and I can't seem to get rid of it. When I try to click on it it says "cannot be found." When I try to control-click to delete it, it doesn't do anything. Here's a picture: Thanks.

Thanks it's fixed now.

I did that, but it's not working.

Hi, I recently made the Microsoft Messenger for Mac app start-up on log-on, but I changed my mind and unchecked it after using it for some time like that. It still opens up when I log on, though, even though it is unchecked to start-up on log on. Is there any way to stop this? Thanks.

Never mind, problem fixed. It turns out when I did the instructions for the Firmware, it gave me like only half the instructions. When my dad tried to log on, it gave him a message saying Firmware not properly installed or something and we did new steps and now it's working.

I don't feel like getting that, there should be some simpler soultion. I shouldn't have to do that anyways, it's just messed up.

I just ran a FrontRow update and some others for iMovie and GarageBand and iTunes and stuff, and now my iSight isn't working. I tried it both from Photo Booth and iMovie but it shows up as if it is pitch black with no lighting at all. You can see a faint patch of light where the window is, but...

Never mind, I did the keyboard shortcut again and everything unusual stopped like it saying everything I did, multiple log outs and such, and the black box. Weird.
