Failure to Launch after Migration

Hello!
I tried to launch InDesign 5.5 for the first time since migrating to a new Macbook Pro (running 10.7.3). I'm able to get the splash screen, but shortly after "Intiatlizing Plugins" appears on said screen, it crashes. I get the standard error message "InDesign quit unexpectedly" from the Finder. I've uninstalled SING, reset my keychain, tried launching it on other user accounts, and updated to the latest patch. Nothing has worked, and I'm recieveing the same error. I can't run an error repor via Activity Monitor because it isn't open long enough, but here's my error message via the Finder: http://pastebin.com/cBWZyPiY
Is there any solution that I haven't realized/thought of?

I was afraid of that. That's my last resort, but it looks like I'll be doing it tonight.
Any other ideas?
ETA: All other Adobe products I own (Illustrator, Photoshop, Reader) have no issues.

Pro Apps won't launch after migration

We just migrated from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and FCP, DVDSP, and iDVD all won't open. I tried reinstalling FCS but it didn't work. I used a freeware called Final Cut Remover to try to get rid of all the bits but that didn't work.
HELP! We have an edit scheduled on this machine tomorrow!
I had the same problem once before when I upgraded my computer but I had more time so I just did a clean install of OSX and all my apps. I don't have that luxury this time.

Warning - This is a long post.
How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the install disc and go through the following procedure to identify the installed files.
1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
2) Click to let the installer check your system
3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the files installed, then select all of them
5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
6) Open a text editor & paste the list
7) If you have a printer connected, print
8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated in the list
The other way involves the Terminal.
Using Terminal:
1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)
lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.
7) Press Return to view the list
8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)
9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.
10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System.

Failure to launch after upgrade to 34.0.5

Did the auto upgrade to 34.0.5. Couldn't launch Firefox. Reinstalled to new folder and the product launched. When I closed Firefox and tried to launch from desktop it would not launch. Completely removed Firefox. Reinstalled and still have the same problem. Ran Norton Scan and no issues. Am at the end of my rope. When I look at Task Manager after trying to launch I see firefox.exe *32 but shows no CPU time. Each time I tri the *32 issue appears in Task Manager. I end the tasks and try again with the same results. Any suggestions. I had posted a similar issue a few hours ago and I thought it was resolved when I reinstalled Firefox but then I closed it and the problem is back,.

I once had an issue. After an update, Firefox had no access to the web at all.
But other programs were working fine. I started doing the normal diagnostic
things. No joy. So I thru everything. I finally discovered the problem. Somehow,
during the update, my proxy setting was changed from No Proxy. After I
changed it back, FF was back on the web.

Mail won't launch after Migration to another Mac

I had to migrate my wife's account from a 10.6 machine to a 10.5 machine (trading with my daughter, her mac has a damaged airport and weak wifi and she is heading off to college). The mail application will not even launch (it tries and dies giving me the option to reset and retry with no luck). I wonder if there is an incompatibility between 10.6 mail files (Mail app version 4) and Mail v3.6 on the 10.5.8 machine?
I tried removing to the destkop the com.apple.mail.plist with no luck. I even moved the mailbox folder to the desktop (hoping to get a new mail account and import old mail) - still no launching.
Eventually I will upgrade to 10.6 on this machine, but have to install more memory (tried to install 10.6 refused to load due to too little memory). Can I install mail 4.0 by itself?
Any help would be really appreciated.

I also tried two other "virgin" accounts and Mail does not open/launch. So from reading elsewhere this implies it is not the mail data on my wife's account.
This computer was just upgraded from 10.4.x to 10.5.8 through all the updates. I checked tonight and there is no Mail update. But I don't know if Mail was working in 10.4.x as my daughter did not use Mail (she accessed a web mail account).
Any thoughts? I have the Leopard install disks. Can I try installing Mail only?

Why is Acrobat 8 not launching after Migration Assistant Tranfer?

"Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component [WHICH I HAVE] (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."

Migration assistant doesn't work with everything. I'd be amazed if it managed to get all the licensing stuff. I'd recommend you reinstall.

Failure to launch after purchasing subscription and installing.

I downloaded the Acrobat Pro trial on my laptop and it works file. I purchased the monthly subscription, installed it on my MAC desktop, and it fails to launch. How can this be repaired? I saw a similar question with no answer. Does Adobe offer any real technical support for their products besides these forums?

Hi,
Please try re-activating the Acrobat.
Go to Help -> Deactivate.
Relaunch
Help -> Activate.
See if that makes any difference.

InDesign CS5.5 won't launch after migration to new Mac

In my main user profile, InDesign will start to open and crap out after initializing Plug-ins. No error is reported. When I log into a test user account, I'll at least get this error, "InDesign quit unexpectedly":
I've tried trashing preferences and restarting, but no luck. My guess is I need to reinstall, but can't find a CS5.5 installer to download (the suite was bought via download originally). I'm not interested in upgrading to CC.
Running Mavericks.
Appreciate any help.

I was able to download the InDesign installer from prodesigntools. But it won't recognize my serial number (which I'm getting from my account on Adobe's site).
I thought it be because my serial number is for the Design Standard Suite. So I went back to prodesigntools to download that installer, but am now getting "Access denied". I've tried in multiple browsers, cleared my cache and cookies, and in Chrome's incognito mode. I followed the directions explicity again but can't get to the CS5.5 Design Standard installer.
Any ideas?

Why won't an application launch after migrating to new computer?

I have a new non Intel 2.3 Ghz G5 OSX 4.7 1.5 GB RAM that I used the migration assistant to move files from another non Intel G5 OSX 4.7. We use Quark 6.5, Photoshop and Illustrator as our main working applications. I had to reinstall Photoshop and Illustrator 10.0.3. I've been able to boot up all the other applications on the computer except the Illustrator app. I've reinstalled several times. But each time when it looks like it's going to open, it crashes and gives me the "send report" window. I've tried asking questions on the Illustrator forums site but no one there seems to know what to do. I've thrown away the .plist, installed Illust. 9 to update from, used another disk to install from and also created another account to see if it is a system problem (and it did the same thing there, too). I have another G5 set up with the same software and it works fine. So I know this software will work on this computer. Can anyone give me any direction from here? Kappy or Dr. Smoke, if you're listening, can you help me out?

It might be simpler to boot the new machine into Target Disk Mode, hook it up to a machine that works, and clone from the working machine to the new one. Use Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, Disk Utility (restore function), etc.

HP TouchSmart600 Failure to launch after installing Win10

I tried to download Win10 today. My TouchSmart 600 downloaded ALL the program and as it went on with the install it said everything was good but at the final launchif hung up and wouldn't launch. It hard the startup repair screen and made me restore to the previous Win7. I had a similar issue when I tried to install Win8 too, it downloads the progam ok, but cannot lauch it. There is some hardware or software component that is preventing it from launching and its pissing me off! This computer wans't cheap and I have TWO of them! I think when I tried to investigate why it wouldn't launch WIn8 I read that the issues was with graphics driver or video card? Apparently there was a fundamental conflict and HP had not deeoped a patch. I was hoping that 2 years later they would have figured this out and got it sorted for Win10. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this so I can enjoy Win10? Again, i can download and install the program, the issue comes when it goes to launch it.

HT4972 Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

I think a few have.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

After Migration to new iMac, old Photoshop won't launch

I used the Migration Assistant in Firewire Target Disk Mode to transfer my old Apps and files and folders from my intel Macbook to my new 24" iMac. I had to do it several times since it transferred Applications okay, and all the folders, but the folders were empty on the new machine. I finally had to drag and drop the contents of most folders. Everything seems to be working okay now except for one glaring failure. My old Photoshop 7.0.1, which was working just fine in Rosetta on the Macbook, no longer works at all. It will not even launch. I get an error message that due to an "unrecoverable error" in programming, Photoshop will close now, almost as soon as it tries to start. I have a number of other Power PC applications (even Adobe ones) of similar vintage that are working just fine. I tried reinstalling the Application entirely (still have all my old Apps!), but it had no effect on the failure to launch. I checked with Adobe and they declined to support such an old version. Any ideas on what could be causing this that I might check? Having blown all my money on the new iMac I really cannot afford to purchase a new Photoshop right now.

Photoshop 7 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5 and Adobe offers no fix. You'll need to upgrade.

After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

Hi rustyg12,
Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
Fire up DW. See if it works.

ITunes crashes at launch after Info Migration.

I've purchased a new MBP; and i've chose to transfer all the info.
Everything is now the way it was on the old MBP; except for iTunes.
iTunes doesn't launch at all; it crashes on launch all the time, I've tried restarting/shutting down with no hope.
Please help!

@uncman: I tried your solution but no luck. Thanks for suggesting. Any other ideas?
Might be useful to consolidate the discussion on one thread. The other thread has some more discussion in case anyone is interested.

2012 R2 Generation 2 VM Boot Failure after Migration

I have encountered an issue after migrating virtual machines to a new host. It happens whether the VM has been moved with live migration or though a shutdown, export, import process.
The hosts are both 2012 R2 Datacenter. The virtual machines are Generation 2 and also have 2012 R2 Datacenter. All the systems where installed with the April ISO. The only difference between the hosts is that one only has no other updates. The other has
all recommended and optional updates as off 2014-10-10.
Once the machine has migrated to the updated host the next time it attempts to boot up (after a restart, ect.) it will fail with one of these two messages.
This happens whether the virtual machine has updates or is a fresh install from the April ISO. Once the machine is migrated back to the host that does not have any updates it will boot back up without any issues.
Notes:
The virtual machines where created on the host without any updates.
When creating a new virtual machine on the host with updates the 2012 R2 ISO bluescreens.
I setup another host machine without updates, tested migration to it and then ran updates. Same issue occurs.
I have tried boot with and without secure boot enabled also tries it with drive signature enforcement disabled. No change either.
This does not happen with generation 1 machines.
What I am trying to figure out is, if it truly is an update issue which update might it be so that it can be avoided? It would also be interesting to figure out if there is a workaround to get affect virtual machines to boot back up.
Let me know what your ideas are or if there are any other tests you would like me to provide.

I would like to thank you for your suggestions. It wasn't the updates that where causing the problem, it is actually a side effect of them requiring a restart. In addition to running updates on the new host servers, I also added a second network card.
The virtual machines are stored on an SMB 3.0 file share. When the server gets restarted SMB 3.0 finds and starts using that second network card in a multichannel configuration. (There are two physical cards / 3 ports / 3 vlans).
I found this out when I looked at the multichannel configuration on the server without updates, but had this network card installed. It wasn't using it at all. After a restart of that server the VM's where exhibiting the same broken behavior. Simply disabling
that network card on the machine got them to work again. The server with updates, because it had been restarted already, was trying to use this network card in SMB 3.0 multichannel.
It just happened to be a coincidence of timing. On the other hand the issue moves to why this second NIC would be causing these issues. I am not entirely sure if it actually has to do with SMB verses something with Hyper-V and the network card. After the
restart the saved state of VM's on it failed to start. Removing the saved state and trying to boot them resulted in the same digital signature error. However, like I mentioned, disabling the network card worked. Virtual machines with
save states restored themselves and those without them also would boot. Again, I will post what I figure out.
Thanks again,
Kevin

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion. I can run connection doctor OK. But the activity window is blank. If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes. Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead. Thanks for any help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
