OSX 10.4.8 app launch difficulties!

I updated to 10.4.8 through software update and although it indicated that there was an 'error' with the update, my cpu showed the OSX as 10.4.8
Many apps work fine but when I went to launch some others, they won't launch and below is a sampling of the 'code error' for various apps:
Please offer any suggestions! I am in need of these apps for an editing project!
Regards,
Maree
The application "(null)" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
The application "ScanGear Starter 1.1E" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "1<ScanGear Starter 1.1E><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_ATS>"
The application "Adobe Reader" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "(<Adobe Reader><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_ATS>"
The application "Photoshop Elements" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "'<application><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_ATS>"

1. You wrote: " I had MacJanitor installed already and that's why I went that route, it seemed like the only 'similar' app to run. Perhaps I was wrong here."MacJanitor does not perform cache cleaning. MacJanitor only runs the UNIX maintenance scripts and these have nothing to do with cache cleaning. See my "Running the Mac OS X Maintenance Scripts" FAQ to understand what the UNIX maintenance scripts are about. Cocktail and other utilities have functions for also running the maintenance scripts, ala MacJanitor, but MacJanitor is a "one trick pony" and only runs the maintenance scripts.
That the Cocktail disk image won't mount is another case of the problem you are having trying to mount the 10.4.8 Combo Update: your OS has become corrupted.
2. The ongoing problems you've been having with this computer could imply several things:
• Ongoing hardware problems: Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
• Bad sectors on the startup disk: See the "Bad Sectors" section of my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.
The terms "bad blocks" and "bad sectors" are used synonymously, but it is the sectors that go bad. Blocks are comprised of sectors.
Good luck!

  • No Internet Connection Before Login Apps Launch

    I have exhausted every known procedure to try and get an internet connection before my login items (Mail App & iChat) launch.
    I didn't have this problem with my G5 w/Mac OSX 10.4.8. At startup I could watch the blue screen and startup progress bar. During the process I got an "Establishing Network Connection" message (or something similar) and then the computer would continue to boot. Mail and iChat would launch and my mail would be retrieved and I chat would become available.
    On the Pro Mac I get no notification at all on what's happening. It boots normally, Mail and iChat startup and I get a dialog box that says I'm not connected to the internet.
    Within a few seconds I can hit the 'get mail' icon and mail is then retrieved, I also have to select a "Available" from iChat to log on.
    The problem is that the internet connection is not recognized until the boot process is completed.
    Side note: At startup I get the gray screen with the Apple logo for about fifteen seconds, the screen flashes to blue and for a fraction of a second a dialog box pops-up and says "Starting Mac OS X" before my desktop appears with all my login items open. On my G5 it use to say "establishing network connection" or something similar.
    I suspect this has something to do with my problem.

    My cable modem is connected directly to the ethernet port. It's the same modem I used with the G5.
    I have discussed this with Apple's Tech Support on two occasions and they couldn't come up with a solution.
    Before I call for an appointment with my local Mac Store for a diagnostic test, I would like to hear from anyone who has had a similar problem or can provide a solution.

    Here's a theory: the Mac Pro starts up much faster than an older computer and therefore applications and system are loaded before the network has finished initializing. So perhaps that is all there is to it?
    I'm not at home right now (and therefore no access to my Mac Pro) but I will add some network-aware programs to my login and see what happens and report back.
    The suggestion to turn off automatic login is probably a good one as this will give the system more time to get the network up before apps launch.
    Alternatively, there is a program called "Lingon" that you can use to re-order the system startup items. This might be useful in changing the priority of the network/dhcp status. Again, I will look in to it at home and report back.

  • How can I create an application shortcut in the KDE App Launcher?

    I installed Komodo Edit, and can run the application like this:
    cp to: /users/myuser/Software/Komodo-Edit-6/bin
    run: .komodo
    Is there a way I can add the shortcut icon to the the KDE App Launcher under Development?
    Thank you

    Please look up for *.desktop file structure, all you need to do is create a /usr/share/applications/komodo.desktop file with the appropriate content. You can start with any other desktop file as template.

  • Duplicate apps launching

    In Mavericks 10.9.5 I've been having duplicate copies of apps launching. I've noticed it w/Mail & Acrobat Pro. Don't know what causes it - can't duplicate it intentionally, just noticed that it's been happening lately.

    I got duplicate apps in iTunes too, but I'm still on 10.5. It copied everything on my iPhone 3.0.1 onto the computer when I synced this morning.
    I do sync my desktop with my 10.6 laptop, though, so there's a possible way for Snowy stuff to act up.

  • Apps launching on their own

    Today while using Net News Wire, the app crashed, and the Scrabble app launched all by itself. Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior? I can see an app crashing from time to time, but to have another one launch on its own is very weird.

    I think following the software troubleshooting path would allow you to eliminate software as a problem.  If you eliminate that, then it would have to be some hardware issue. Not sure if your phone is still under warranty, but if you can demonstrate that you've done all of the software troubleshooting you can, and you are still under warranty, you could get a replacement phone at the Genius bar. 

  • New App Launcher Suite Bar in 365: what CSS styles affect the background color?

    There is a new suite bar in O365. What CSS styles affect the background color of the bar, app launcher button and the Office 365 text in SharePoint Online? I want to hide Office 365 text and add my logo there.

    Hi,
    Per my understanding, you might want to change the style of the suite bar and replace the “Office 365” text with your custom logo image.
    In Office 365 admin page, we can customize the theme of the suite bar for the whole :
    However, as there is no such option can replace the “Office 365” text with a custom icon there, a workaround is that we can use some custom JavaScript to modify the
    corresponding HTML source code to display the icon dynamically after the page loaded.
    After applying the code snippet below into the master page:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ready");
    function ready() {
    var logo = document.querySelector("#O365_MainLink_Logo");
    var s = '<img style="max-height: 27px" alt="logo" src="/_layouts/15/images/siteIcon.png?rev=38">';
    logo.innerHTML = s;
    </script>
    Every time when users open a page in this site, this custom code will be executed, the “Office 365” text will be replaced by a custom icon:
    More information about how to add custom code into master page(similar in SharePoint 2013):
    http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.com/2012/05/adding-javascript-and-css-to-sharepoint.html
    What’s more, if doing in this way, we can only replace the “Office 365” text with a custom icon in Office 365 SharePoint Online sites, not the whole Office 365, this
    is a fact that you might want to know. For about how to replace that text for the whole organization, I suggest you open another thread in Office 365 forum, you will get more help and confirmed answers there.

  • Switching between apps launched through RemoteApp from Windows 2008 R2 server

    I have a problem with RemoteApp on Windows 2008 R2 Standard SP1.
    When I try to switch between apps, launched from RD Web Access web-page, it is not always succeded. Instead of it the target app blinks and I still remain at the previous app. In another words, the next app window remains behind the previous
    app window and I have to minimize the previous app before switching to the next app.
    Following the recommendations given by the TechNet Online Chat assistant, I've been installed all the available updates on that server from the Microsoft Update, but it didn't help us.
    Is there any way to resolve this trouble?
    Thank you.

  • Air Installer app launches constantly

    Anytime I go to certain websites, the Air Installer apps launches and quits... on every page! Quite annoying and frankly this erratic behavior makes me think I need to get this AIR stuff off my computer!
    Example: http://www.tweetdeck.com/
    Clicking here or any link within the site causes the Installer app to launch and quit in the background (bounces on the dock). What's up with that?!?
    Anyone have any clues for me? I've upgraded to the latest version of AIR and it still does it.

    mac osx 10.6.8 itunes launches automatically and will not respond to quit or force quit in the Activities Monitor.  When I quit or go into the Activities monitor and try to quit, it goes off, briefly, then immediately relaunches.  If i turn the computer off, and then on, iTunes launches automatically.  ITunes 10.4.  The only thing I remember doing different, lately, is I just updated a couple of days ago.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Thanks!

  • Muse Crashes - Where's the Love? App Launch Failures & Database Errors

    I really love Adobe Muse but I'm really frustrated by it's instability.
    There are two general problems that I consistently experience.
    App Launch Issues
    Firstly, and an issue I am experiencing right now is, a launch error where the program refuses to open displaying an error message then crashes immediately.
    Today's message is:
    Anyone experienced this before or have a solution? I tired signing in and out of Creative Cloud and uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Muse and same issue.
    Database Errors / Save File Errors
    I can generally expect for a Muse save file to become totally unusable for some sort of random database error totally messing up my save file making me have to step back to one I've previously saved. Just like the wii brought back load time in a serious way Adobe Muse is bringing back incremental save practices we'd all LOVE to abandon.
    Why This Sucks
    I don't do high-end web development but I offer basic sites to clients with simple needs and I find Muse to be a delightful product given my skills and base in photoshop.
    Not being able to update sites or launch the application at all is SUPER annoying.
    It certainly justifies NOT using Adobe Muse for complex sites.
    If there is a general approach I can take to avoiding these issues I'm all eyes and fingers.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Solution for "Üser ID Mismatch"
    Please do the following steps and you will be all set.
    1. Sign out from Muse By going to Help > Sign out. (if you see the option to do that)
    2. Sign out from Creative Cloud Application. (Steps are mentioned in the link Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app), then Quit Creative Cloud Application.
    3. Rename the "OOBE" folder to "OOBEold"
    MAC : (This folder can be found at Finder > Go > Go to Folder> Type ~/library/application support/Adobe > Hit return)
    Widows : ( This folder can be found at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe )
    4. Relaunch Muse, Sign in with your Adobe ID.
    Suggestion for database error:
    Is the file saved on local location or at a network drive or external location live Dropbox or Google drive.
    Please move the file to desktop and then try to save the file after making few changes. Hopefully you will not get any error.
    If you still get the error please share the exact error screenshot.

  • Dynamic App Launcher tiles

    Hi ,
    I am using a dynamic app launcher tile in the fiori launchpad. I am using Odata in the Service URL parameter, but i see that only number is getting bound to the tile where as other parameters like title,information are not getting bound to the tile even though they are passed from the odata.
    Please let me know is it only number that can be bound or we should be able to bind other parameters as well.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Seshu

    Hi Pat,
    Initially, We used filters in service URL. Which didn't work properly. Then we replaced filters with Single Entity. And worked correctly.
    For example
    /sap/opu/odata/sap/ZXXXXX/Collection?$filters=title eq 'System' and subtitle eq 'Manage'
    will not work. Its gives only number on tile. but not other information.
    /sap/opu/odata/sap/ZXXXXX/Collection(title='System',subtitle='Manage')
    Worked well with us.
    Note: Both returns the same output and single entry(entity). But the way we provide the URL in FIORI customization is really matters.
    Refer to
    OData Structure for Dynamic App Launchers - User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver - SAP Library
    for format of data for tiles.
    Regards,
    Seshu

  • App Launcher Configuration?

    I just got access to the new
    app launcher functionality as recently announced on the Office Blog. However, I can't find any technical documentation for this feature aside from the announcement. Anyone have a link? I'm looking for info such as:
    How can admins add/remove apps to/from the launcher for all users?
    Can an app be added to the launcher based on context? For example, if someone is in a particular site collection?
    Can an app be added based on a user's permissions or group membership?
    Or, perhaps the answer is that there are currently no customization opportunities?
