When trying a web site (insightitaly.com), it will not open. Then my computer gets slow and confused and requires a shut down. Why?

my macbook (running Tiger) ran out of battery before it was able to shut itself down properly. Upon reboot (and ever since) Safari has been unable to open and there is no dock. I've tried installing firefox but it won't install, and many programs won't launch. I'm assuming something happened when the battery ran out, but I can't seem to fix it. Disk Utility won't work, AppleJack won't install,
I've restarted several times, tried to update.. everything, but nothing seems to work.
I've attached a screenshot of the finder window.. notice how it is missing all the stuff in the left hand column, the dock, and the arrows
My iTunes log has suddenly disappeared or atleast seem invisible i.e the space for it is there, I can click in the space and the app opens but not logo can actually be seen Anyone seen or heard of this happening before ? Running snow leopard on Core2Duo 24" iMac.

But when I start up my computer, instead of opening up a window, it starts up safari in the dock, but never actually opens a window. When I click on the icon in the dock the page will open up. Its acting as if I hid(CMD+H) the page. I know safari is open and it loaded the homepage, but the window wont actually open.
I've tried it on two different computers, Macbook pro, mac pro with same issue on both.
Whenever I open a pdf, adobe starts to open every pdf file on my computer. Does anyone know of any way to stop this? I couldn't really find anything on search. I am running OSX 10.6.3

I've poured over these boards in hopes to finding a solution as to why my dashboard won't open. It literally stopped working mid day, one day when I went to return to get a number off of my sticky note in my dashboard. I have tried posting the different lists from my preferences page, however, am unable to get the docments to actually drag to my desktop. I'm not sure if there are any other solutions, but was hoping to find a quick fix as opposed to traveling 2 hours to the nearest genius bar. Any help would be awesome!!

I've had my macbook pro for about 2 months, after 4 years on a pc (and 4 years on an imac before that). I love my MBP, but one major gripe I do have is that when I have a lot of windows, especially when I have a lot of word documents open, they can be hidden behind the current window I have open, but not show up on the dock (only show up on dock if they are minimized). On windows, this wasn't a problem. So, is it possible to make it easier to switch between windows that aren't minimized? make those windows show up on the dock? I know about expose, and I use it a lot (especially the application and all windows features). I know about spaces too, but I still would like something more like I described above.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on a MacBook3,1 (Late 2007). I'm currently having issues with the Finder. Current symptoms are:
1. When I click a directory in the Dock to open it in the Finder, I get an error that reads "You can't open the application Finder because it may be damaged or incomplete."
2. I've tried repairing permissions (from the OS and from the Install Disc), but the Disk Utility doesn't make any repairs even though it tells me it has made the repairs, because the exact same errors come up the next time I try to repair the permissions.
3. I also verified the disk, and it said I had to start from boot from another volume and repair the disk, so I booted from the install DVD and did so.....................
I've seen a video on youtube awhile back about opening all the dock apps at once. But now I'm having trouble finding it. Does anyone know how to open them all at once?

how do i eliminate apps on my dock but not from my computer

I took this 13" macbook off of my sisters hands as she has already bought a new one for college. My hope was to save it, as it had stopped working a few months after she spilled some sort of drink on the keyboard. Here's the short story: Took it to local tech support office once it stopped working. They said logic board needed to be replaced, so it's a done deal. Opened it up, cleaned the entire inside of the computer with 95% alcohol and a toothbrush. Let it sit for a day to dry. Turned it on. It worked! But it was finicky in terms of when it would charge and when it wouldn't. Eventually stopped working again when the battery ran out of power and it would not recharge the battery or start up without the battery and just the power. Took it to a friend's house who has the same laptop. Swapped his charged battery into mine. Computer booted up and ran fine. Forgot to test if it was charging consistently by plugging my AC adapter into my computer.
However I did test my AC adapter on his mac with his battery, and that did work fine. So I had eliminated those as the problems and figured it must be something inside the computer. After researching, figured the problem must have been the DC-in board. And I ordered one of these: [URL] and installed it no problem. Now the computer will only charge when it is on and open. If I close the screen it will not charge. And once I open the screen, it shows that it is charging, but 0 battery life, then corrects to the proper amount, then 10 seconds later the light on the mag-power connector comes back on. Another important detail, the computer will not turn on or run while the battery is removed. Perhaps only the part of the logic board that controls the power directly from the mag-connector is fried, but the part the directs it to the battery is ok?
Also just noticed: When the power chord is unplugged, there is a consistent and accurate display of remaining battery life. However sometimes when I plug the power chord back in, it will read 0%, then random other percentages, while the light flashes between green and orange on the top of the power chord. I would like to be able to charge the thing while its closed. Also does this sound like a quark I could just live with? Or does it indicate it will probably fail very soon? Because I could live with this for another few months while I'm waiting to be able to afford another laptop. Even if it meant finding some alternative way to only run it off of only battery power, buying two batteries, and charging them outside of the computer through some third party laptop battery charger.
I'm trying to get a few files off my old computer. I was able to access my computers backups before i backed up my MBP to the same external HD. I don't want to use migration assasinst. I tried option+clicking and ctrl+clicking on TM to access the backups, but the ones for my iMAC are greyed out. I really need those files and I can't simply 'redownload them'.

I don't see any option for it, so I think it's unlikely that it can be changed but if it can I'd appreciate being told how to change it.

View 11 Replies View RelatedThe problem began when I was attempting to force quit an app that had frozen last night. The Force Quit box wouldn't pop up and I got the rainbow pinwheel within Firefox. After the Force Quit box still wouldn't appear, I was able to shut down other apps and even able to restart the computer. Upon restart, once I tried to click an app on the dock, i'd see the icon bounce once or twice then just completely freeze. I'm able to move around the cursor arrow, but can't click anything.
This morning, I was able to open the Terminal (it never popped up in the dock for some reason) and did the 'killall Dock' command. At this point, my system started running real slow and I couldn't seem to double click anything. I had to cmnd + click 'Open' to get to the Activity Monitor. That opened, but then it froze and gave me the window pinwheel. I tried to force quit it, but it wouldn't quit. I had to hold down the power button to turn it off. When I tried rebooting, I couldn't even get to the Terminal anymore since now it would pop up in the dock when I opened it.
