Programs will not open from Dock

I have updated my Macbook Pro with Yosemite which has led to - a lot. Programs will not open from Dock, they are just revealed in Finder. Scrolling with mousebuttons in a browser will zoom instead of scroll, the courser will not change after changing tool in Indesign. Just to mention a few problems i have discovered so far. I think I was an idiot to uppgrade to Yosemite. PLEASE HELP!

Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions, then quit DU and Restart the MBP. If that does not clear the issues, restart again holding the Command and R keys, and from Utilities on the menu bar select Install Mac OS X. That will reinstall Yosemite but leave your content and settings intact. See if that repairs whatever is broken.

After updates, mail will not open from dock

After updates, Mail will not open from dock, or from the application app in finder.

What happens when you try - anything?

Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open. Help please.

You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

My adobe CS2 programs will not open on my macbook pro osx 10.5.8

Today my adobe cs2 suite programs will not open. They were working just fine a couple of days ago. And they have worked fine for years. I did not update to any new os that would cause them not to work. I really need to get some image work done soon and this is a real monkey wrench in my plans. I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall from the disc and it would not let me do that either. I tried to download picasa just as a quick alternative to get some images edited tonight and it would not let me open that either, even though it said it was good for 10.5 or above. So the only thing I can think of is that I downloaded something that changed some settings?

Mackeeper can also be a problem:

I Just bought iMovie for yosmite and the program will not open.. I will like a fix or a refund..

I Just bought iMovie for yosmite and the program will not open.. I will like a fix or a refund.. i am getting tired of these problems...

Welcome to the world of downloaded software. There are no refunds.
Back in the good old days when software was purchased on disk one could sell it (legally).
Please describe your problem. Give us some details to go from. Are you using iMovie 06, or something newer?

TS2518 updated to Aperture 3.4, but program will not open, keeps telling me it needs to restore windows?

I just updated to OS X 10.7.5 and Aperture 3.4, but program will not open, keeps telling me I to restore windows

Quit Aperture, if it is running/ hanging.
Remove the file com.apple.Aperture.plist from the folder
Your home folder > Library > Preferences
The User Library is hidden by default. You can reveal it from the Finder's "GO" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences" sub folder and remove the file
your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist.
After removing the user preferences file, you will have to reset the Preferences, you selected in Aperture's preferences panel.

Motion 3 program will not open

When Motion 3 opens, the Canvas Pane is all that is available to view. The Utility Pane is totally unavailable. It will not open from any tool bar icon, or other method. It just started doing this out of the clear blue. No updates, or file changes have taken place on the MacBook Pro.
I tried to uninstall and re-install the program. No help. I really need this program. Does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions, Jon.
Could be a preferences file problem - to quote Mark Spencer:
1) Quit Motion.
2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete
post back,
Patrick

7515 Program will not open

I have an HP 7515 All-in-One printer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the operating programs on my Dell XPS 8700 Win7 Pro several times and it says everything is working the way it should but when I click on the desktop icon, the program will not open. I need to print an address on an envelope so I need to get into this program. Any suggestions?

Hello DavidBez,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I'd like to help get your Photosmart 7515 up and printing from your computer. I am not aware of an area in the printer software that is installed on the computer's Desktop that allows you to print an envelope, but I hope this helps get the icon working again.
HP Printer Assistant Opens the 'Printer Setup & Software' Window<---
If the above fails to resolve the issue with the software, run the Print and Scan Dr and let me know its results.
Cheers,

Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs). but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

My iphoto program will not open, I get a message "you have previously used a newer version" open with that

my iphoto program will not open I get a message "you have used a newer program in the past use that program" I only have the one ???

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My preferences will not open from the apple menu. Time machine will not open either. I've tried reinstalling Lion, to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).
