Qjackctl won't launch jackd anymore

Greetings.
I have a problem with qjackctl. qjackctl itself starts up fine, but for some reason refuses to lauch jackd - reporting a problem of loading the ALSA driver. I can start jackd with its set of paramters manually, so I suppose this issue is not related to jackd.
I had qjackctl working quite well in the past, this is, before I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.11.3 (2.6.10 was working ok). And I even don't think it's a permission problem, as the same symptoms come up when using qjackctl as root.
I tried building qjackctl from ABS, but the apps' behaviour remains the same.
Any suggestions are welcome! Thanx.

IPhone won't auto launch iTunes anymore

I just updated to Lion and the new version of iTunes. When I plug in my iPhone, however, iTunes won't launch and autosync anymore. I checked the settings and, based on my preference settings, it should autolaunch. I tried to click and unclick on the setting, restart the computer, etc., but nothing will get iTunes to launch when I plug in my phone. If I launch iTunes manually, it will immediately begin syncing however. Any thoughts how I can go back to the old way?

Same issue here. iTunes 10.4 doesn't seem to automatically install the iTunes Helper in your user login items.
Here's what I did:
Navigate to the Applications folder
Right Click on iTunes and select Show Package Contents
Navigate to Contents/MacOS/
Double-click on iTunes Helper to get it running. This will allow iTunes to start when you plug in your iPhone/iPod
Open System Preferences and go to Users & Groups
Select the Login Items tab to view the list
Drag iTunes Helper from the Finder into the Login Items to get it to run at login

IPhone 3rd party apps won't launch anymore!

After updating the iPhone software to 3.1, a host of 3rd-party apps won't launch anymore (appear for 1 second, then revert back to the apps icons page).
I've tried upgrading to iTunes 9, uninstalling then reinstalling ALL apps on the iPhone via iTunes, hard rebooting my iPhone, restarting my iMac, etc etc, but nothing works.
On a iPhone 3Gs page on the Forums, I saw many others having similar difficulties and blaming it on the XX upgrade. One solution proposed there was to download a free app from the App Store and install it. Tried that, and it didn't work for me.
I hope Apple will give this attention, because it's basically disabled my iPhone's business-sensitive functionalities (like 1Password) on the eve of a 2week business trip ... and on business trips, I don't have my iMac with me! >:-(
In case it helps the OS is showing as 3.1 (7C144) on my device.

Hi!
I may have a solution to your problem. I updated to Firmware 3.1 today and couldn´t open any application i downloaded. I seems the updated version of iTunes handles apps a little different from before. When you connect your iPhone and it pops up in iTunes, right click on it to enter your configuration area (for the iPhone). At the top bar you have a row of options like music, pictures, podcast and somewhere in the middle you have the option "Programs". Click on that and you will see a list of all the programs you have downloaded in iTunes. Unfortunatly you have to recheck all the boxes at the left side of the program you want to be synched to your iPhone. Check these boxes and click "Apply" at the bottom right and iTunes will now transfer them to your iPhone. Easy breasy when you know how to do.
Best of luck, Cheers!

Microsoft Office X- won't launch anymore

Hi:
I have Microsoft Office X- All of a sudden my Microsoft Office Apps won't launch anymore. They report an error yet if I open a document it will launch Microsoft Word or PowerPoint just fine.
I have tried to replace the Microsoft Office X from a Super Duper back up but it also is still failing to launch.
I am guessing "launch services" is goofed up. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thank you,
Reid

I don't think it is an Intel based problem. I have a G5 iMac and a legal old MS office v.X upgrade on top of office 2001 version. Worked fine until a few weeks ago except for a few years needing to keep current with the latest XML free MS converter. Repaired disk/permissions. Dug out all of the app/preferences from my user/library. Reinstalled and it checked with MS mothership. However, still crashes on launch. I think perhaps the most recent OSX security update?

Itunes won't launch anymore: AVFoundationCF.dll problem

Hi,
since my last itunes update, it won't launch because of a "AVFoundationCF.dll" problem. I'm on a Windows XP system. Can anyone help me please?

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click Repair.
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post (although it's for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things):
Re: I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes 10.2.1 and ever since I did that my itunes won't open any more. Itunes starts but before anything loads a window pops up saying that the prograam has encountered a problem and sh...

Creative Suite programs won't launch anymore

Premiere Elements 11 won't launch

G'day,
I downloaded the trial version of PRE11 a few weeks ago, but I couldn't get it to run. Upon launch I get the welcome screen with two choices, to launch the Organizer or the Video Editor, but neither of these actually start. It seems as it is trying though, as I see a scrolling line below my choice after clicking it. No error code or anything like it, it simply won't start (and I don't see any process starting either).
Nevertheless, a few days ago I bought PRE11 (Win/Mac DVD, English) and installed it. Exactly the same behaviour as with the trial, apart from one thing. When I try to lanuch the Video Editor I get the licence agreement. After agreeing, it's the same thing though, nothing happens.
I've read this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4773135) and tried to see if I had any of the symptoms described, or if any of the suggested solutions worked. So far, no luck. I tried Large_Donkey's solution (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4893868#4893868) with the msvcr80.dll and msvcr100.dll files, but it didn't make any difference. Same thing with VDOsurfer's reply (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4903592#4903592) I also tried primarykeytech's suggestion (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4905283#4905283) and downloaded Dependency Walker and ran both Premiere Elements 11.exe and Premiere Elements.exe. At first, it reported that IEShims.dll and gpscv.dll was missing/couldn't be loaded, so I added these to the Premiere Elements folder. Then I got a message (still while running Premiere Elements.exe in Dependency Walker) saying that sysntfy.dll was missing, so I added this one as well to the Premiere Elements folder. After this, I still get three messages in Dependency Walker, but no further description on which files it can't find:
"Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
And none of these changes made any difference, I tried to launch the Video Editor and/or Organizer, but it's the same thing; won't launch, no error message. I've now resetted everything back to the way it was on installation, and tried to continue finding any solution.
Some specs, even if maybe not all of these are relevant. If any other specs are needed, just inform me.
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2
CPU: Intel i7 950 3,06GHz
PSU: Corsair HX 650W

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I tried the blacklist approach by adding a "blacklist.txt" file to the VST plugins folders I have, but to no avail. I also read the last post you made in the "Failure of Premiere to Launch - One Possibility VST's" thread, with the answers from Adobe Engineering. As that post was made almost 2 years ago, I somehow think this wouldn't be an issue in PrE 11 anymore?
Anyway, while trying to launch Premiere Elements.exe ~200 times the last 24h, I've not noticed anything strange in Event Viewer, no errors or warnings connected to the launch of PrE (or, for that matter, no errors or warnings at all during the time I try to launch the program). One thing I did notice, though, is that the process Premiere Elements 11.exe actually starts (I chose not to display the welcome screen every time, but to launch the Video Editor right away) but then quickly terminates. Utually it manage to get between 15-20MB of memory before it crashes and terminate the process, only takes 1 or 2 seconds from launch to termination.
Slowly losing my hope to actually discover the cause, as I'm shooting in the dark evey time (not getting any error messages or hints on what actually fails). Really needed to use PrE this week, maybe have to find some free alternative on the interwebs.
Regards Henrik
Edit: Searching deeper on the Adobe forums regarding VST scanning issues with PrPro/E, and it baffles me how long this error seems to have been going on, even if it's not 100% certain that is the error in my case.
Edit2: Once again a shot in the dark, but I'm thinking my troubles may be due to multiple hard drives? As things are scattered over 3 discs (OS on one, programs on the second one and personal data on the third one) this might cause some path/reference issues? I was thinking this since Depencency Walker gives me the following error messages:
"Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
And it also states that it can't find IESHIMS.DLL and GPSVC.DLL (a road I already have been down earlier). This got me thinking PrE can't find the correct files from where it is installed (E:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Elements 11). On the other hand, I'm getting the exact same error messages on Photoshop CS5 (which runs fine), and the same two dll files seems to be missing. Even tried running a few other programs that work, such as games, though Depencency Walker, and even they seems to miss these dll files.

Dreamweaver CC won't launch - Mac OS 10.8.5 - No Crash Logs Created

Dreamweaver CC won't launch at all on my machine anymore. All the other Adobe CC applications work just fine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled all my CC applications and done it again for good measure. I've uninstalled all my fonts and reinstalled the normal Mountain Lion fonts and the fonts installed with the Adobe CC apps.
Creative Cloud desktop is installed. It has update Dreamweaver to version 13.0.0.6391. I'm aware that there is a version 13.1 out there, but Creative Cloud tells me I'm up-to-date and I have no more requests.
When launching Dreamweaver, It bounces in my dock for a brief second, then disappears. No crash log is created. The Console app shows the following entry after a number of attempts to launch Dreamweaver:

FCP 6 won't launch

I had FCP 5.0.1 and one day and all of the sudden, it wouldn't launch anymore. I troubleshooted some, threw away preferences and all those other files people speak of and nothing..
I thought I would fix the situation by finally uninstalling the entire studio and REinstalling FCP 6.0.
When launching Final Cut Pro I can't seem to get past "Loading Audio Filters RP150". It unexpectedly quits every time.. I have thrown out all the files people have said to throw out. I have repaired my disk permissions, etc. Still the same thing.
What else can I do?

does anyone have Disk Warrior?
Yes. But it's not going to fix this issue. DW does one thing only -it checks and repairs the directory structure of hard drives.
Where does this audio plug in come from -do you have Logic or another audio software package installed? As Studio X already mentioned, +"If these filters are incompatible, FCP won't launch and won't give you much in the way of an error message."+
Final Cut Pro plugins are located at: hard drive name/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins. Look for the plugin there and move it out of the Plugins folder. Note that it might be in a sub-folder, typically named after the manufacturer.
If the plug in is an AudioUnit, you might be able to use [Audio Unit Manager|http://audio-unit-manager.en.softonic.com/mac] (free) to tell FCP not to load it.

FCP 7 Won't launch

ok, i've searched around for a WHILE before starting this thread. strange FCP 7 behavior:
i'm running 10.7.4
FCP 7.0
the splash screen comes up, as it's loading my plugins, it gets to "loading master templates" and just stops. no error message.
i trashed the preferences, used the digital rebellion tool to do so
tried a different user on my laptop and it does the same thing
i can't find the plugin folder anymore to try deleting the plugins. could that be the problem?
i haven't uninstalled yet.
motion 4 won't launch either.
i have fcp x and motion 5 and they both work fine.
could some sort of templates be corrupted?
any suggestions on what else i can do to troubleshoot this?
thanks!

ok. i solved it. i had changed the name in my apps folder to FCP 7. i tried to software update and nothing happened. i removed the 7 from the name, software update updated to 7.0.3 and now it works again... so who knows what happened? hope this helps someone in the future...

My X11 programs won't launch

I have two applications that run under X11: Xephem and Open Office.
About the time I upgraded to OS 10.5.4 I noticed that they wouldn't start. Today I looked at the discussion groups here and upgraded to X11 2.3.1. They still won't launch. Before they would just hang up without giving any error messages, but now when I try to start Xephem I get:
sh: line 0: cd: /usr/local/xephem: No such file or directory
sh: ../bin/xephem: No such file or directory
It sounds like X11 just needs to be pointed to the proper directory, but I don't know how to do that. I never did get the hang of working with the command line.
As for OpenOffice, I get this:
The application soffice.bin quit unexpectedly.
I don't know what to do about that.

Looks like the upgrade might have done something to those application installs. The error you're seeing is from a wrapper script that is used to start Xephem. This script is looking for the actual binaries in a directory located in /usr/local/xephem, which now doesn't seem to exist on your system anymore. Likely it's looking for the "bin" subdirectory in that directory, in which would be the actual application binaries.
In any event, this wrapper script can no longer find these directories. Before trying to do much manual digging to see what happened, I'd just try to reinstall Xephem. That should be a fairly safe thing to try...

Indesign CS5 won't launch on new MB Pro 10.8

After migrating Creative Suite 5 Premium from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to new Macbook Pro 10.8.5 Indesign won't launch while all other components do. I've posted the crash report at http://pastebin.com/JrVw4Sm4. Can anyone help with this problem?
I've already browsed the forum but didn't really got a clue how to sort it out. The original software was downloaded from adobe.subscribenet.com three years ago and doesn't seem to be available anymore for reinstallation. Product keys are in place...
Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks for your replies.
@Ankit:
Tried and removed the SING Datastore but still doesn't work.
@Salah
Updating also didn't work.
@Bob
I would have tried new installation but unfortunately don't have access to the original media installed from an electronic download. All I want to do is moving all applications from an old 13" MB Pro 10.6.8 to a new 10.8.5 and make sure they run within the new system before cleaning up the old one. Any idea what the specific problem is with InDesign since all other applications are running smoothly?

ISync won't launch

What makes an app not launch? It flickers but then it never becomes active in the finder. I've tried deleting preferences for the app (this happens all the time with my Preview and once I delete the preferences its works again).
I tried copying iSync from another machine that it does work on and the same thing happens. What gives?

I trashed iCal and reinstalled it. I again trashed iSync and reinstalled it. It still will not launch and the crash log reads the same.
The reason I am trying to get it to work is I am purchasing an iphone for his birthday (tomorrow). Is there another way to get contacts from his current phone to the iphone? If so, I won't need iSync anymore (I don't think) because iphone syncs through iTunes.

Yahoo Pagebuilder won't launch

Ever since I did the security update in early March I can't launch Pagebuilder anymore. It worked fine previously to that.
As best I can tell, something in the update prevents yahoo from accessing it's cookie on my mac.
It's NOT a browser issue, it's NOT a compatibility issue- all system requirements are met, it's NOT an individual user issue. It is definitely an issue with mac computers themselves, but what?
And, I'm not the only one with this pagebuilder problem, or with this app:
aol users are having trouble accessing their e-mail, too.
Something Apple did is messing things up for us mac users!!
PageBuilder works fine on pc's still, but I have a mac!
Thanks,
Julie

Flash CS6 won't launch.

Hi there,
My Flash CS6 won't launch anymore. I've used it before but am not able to anymore.
When I start Flash CS6 the loading screen pops up and disappears after a few seconds without starting the program.
Solutions I've tried without results;
- Opening a Flash file directly to start Flash
- Reinstall Flash
Im running Flash on Windows 7 64-bit.
If anyone can help me to get it running it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Luuk
