This application can't be opened

Hello.
So I have been playing this game on my macbook pro for almost a year. Today, when I tried opening the app, it says The Application "NAME" can't be opened. I checked my trash but it wasn't deleted. I don't know what to do. Please 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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
    Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
    Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
    If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
    In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

    Bought new MAC desktop tried to open old Ipages and I get this message, what do I do now?

    Thanks

    If you migrated your old system to the new Mac you should still have Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Open your document in Pages '08 and Export it to Word .doc/.docx and open that in Pages 5.

  • This spreadsheet can't be opened

    Just gone into Numbers having updated it and loaded Yosemite and now find I can't open one of my most used documents. I keep a copy both on hard drive & on iCloud. The hard drive document will open but not the most up to date version on iCloud. I simply get 'This spreadsheet can't be opened'.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to get the spreadsheet back?
    Thanks

    Hi mgasparino,
    It seems that you have tried to open a Numbers '08 document with Numbers version 3.
    If you recently updated Numbers to version 3, that did not remove Numbers '08 from your machine.
    Look in your Applications folder for a sub-folder called iWork '08.
    First, make backup copies of your documents!
    Launch (open) Numbers '08 and Menu > File > Open > your document.
    In Numbers '08, Export to Excel.
    Numbers 3 will open that Excel document.
    Numbers 3 will ask you if you want to convert that document to the latest Numbers format.
    If you are sure, then upgrade.
    To open it, save it with Numbers ’09 first.
    Other users in this forum have found ways to download a trial version of Numbers '09, and convert documents from '08 to '09.
    Other users in this forum have found ways to purchase, install (and then update) a DVD of iWork '09.
    Numbers '08 and Numbers '09 still work, but they are now "orphanware".
    See this User Tip on how to work with old and new versions of iWork:
    Need newer version of Numbers to open file

  • Can't Install Flash Player, What does "Only a single instance of this application can run" mean?

    I try to follow the steps 1-3, as it shows. After it downloads, after step 2, a dialog box pops up saying “Open Executable File? Then it says it may contain viruses or malicious code and to be careful when opening file.  So I click OK, then step 3 occurs, file name lists as: install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih(2).exe.  So then I hit “Run”.  Then another dialog box pops up titling “UI_FlashPlayerInstaller”, and it says “Only a single instance of this application can run”, “OK”. I’ve checked to see if there is another version installed, but I don’t see any.  I am operating a Windows 32 Bit, FireFox,

  • Why I can't install adobe keep getting: "only a single instance of this application can run"?

    Hello, Can someone help me with Adobe Flash Player installation ?
    I have tried too many things to install it but keep getting this message " only a single  instance of this application can run. 
    I can't see any Adobe applications, I've tried deleting all files adobe and still nothing.
    I have opened the task manager and try to end the processes related to Adobe manually by selecting 'End Process' and then try to install it, but nothing happened.
    I've tried 'clean boot' but neither worked.I downloaded the 'Adobe unistaller' from the official page and the 'latest version of flash player' but it doesn't work!.
    I've also went on the Adobe website and it said this error message was due to the flash application but I deleted all of those files to and still nothing.
    I've got firefox and windows 7.

    If you haven't done so already, reboot your computer, then re-run the installer you downloaded.

  • "Only a single instance of this application can run" error when installing Flash

    I deleted Flash Player when trying to solve a Shockwave Flash Google Chrome issue, and after being unable to solve it I switched to Firefox. I now can't get the installer to open. I double-click on it, it asks me if I want to run it. I click Yes, then the window closes and the installer doesn't open. When I try running the installer again, I get the error message "Only a single instance of this application can run". I have tried everything. I closed Firefox, restarted my computer, and ran the Flash Player uninstaller. I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit with Mozilla Firefox and I am trying to run the latest version of Flash Players as of October 26 2014. Please help!

    The download link has moved since then: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe

  • Unable to install Flash Player as "only a single version of this application can run"

    I was having problems with Flash Player earlier today and decided to uninstall it (from Windows 7) and reinstall from scratch.  I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it but now I get the following message: Unable to install Flash Player as "only a single version of this application can run" I tried uninstalling   I checked to see if there was still a programme to install but there is not. I checked my files in Windows and there are several files called Install_Flashplayer _16x32 .............. files. I presume they were created each time I attempted to install Flash Player.  I thought of deleting the numerous Install FlashPlayer files but decided to seek help before taking this step.
    Browser: Firefox 35.0.1
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    64bit OS

    I have somehow managed to install Flash Player and it works. I deleted all the install files except one which did not want to be deleted, Then I started to install Flash Player until I got the message about conflicting applications. I then used Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open Task Manager, then closed all tasks except the Flash Player one. Flash Player finished installing. I then opened a TV Player in Firefox and was able to play a programme that required a Flash Player.
    Why do I have to use Task Manager to close applications. I can't remember the last time I used it ut think it was about a year ago when my computer would not shut down.

  • Reinstalling - "Only a single instance of this application can run"

    I had to uninstall Adobe Reader some months back and ever since have been unable to reinstall. I get through the first couple download steps, and click yes to "allow the following program to make changes to this computer", but then it all closes down and sometimes I get the "Only a single instance of this application can run" box pop up. I googled that error message and have spent hours trying every tip on how to resolve it on various message boards but nothing works and I really need to be able to open pdfs again. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    If you are in Windows (which we don't know), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • I get this error message: only a single instance of this application can run

    When I try to open my bank statement I get this message: only a single instance of this application can run.  Just wondering what that means,  and how do I open a file with adobe reader?

    Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Security (Advanced)
    That is, start Adobe Reader.
    Chose Preferences from the Edit menu
    Look at the left hand side for Security (Advanced) and click on it
    Now look for the option to turn off Protected Mode.

  • Error This message can't be opened

    I am running 10.2.0.429 currently.  However, since updating from 10.0, I have been unable to open any Notifications from the Hub.  When I select a notification, the view switches to a new window that says:
    Error
    Date label area
    This message can't be opened
    Any help resolving this error?
    NOTES
    I have updated the OS gradually (2 or 3 times now?) from the originally installed OS 10.0.  Getting to the current OS was not a one-step jump.
    I used to be able to update my apps directly from the Notification section of the Hub.  Now I get the notification and must go to BlackBerry World to update it, which is much less convenient (and annoying).
    This is not a new error, I had hoped that the most recent update would fix the issue.

    Not if the error code should be visible on the screen, I am not.
    All I see is the blue bar across the top of the window that says "Error" and "Date label area", and then the message area says "This message can't be opened"

  • This file can't be opened.

    I have got a file I have worked on for ages that was on iCLoud and it for corrupted and started saying "This file can't be opened."
    So I went back to an earlier version and did the work again saving it on my mac.
    Now it is saying again:
    "This file can't be opened."
    1) Is there any way of salvaging this file?
    2) Given the way apple have made it harder to save incrementally as you work what is making my files corrupted?
    3) The file was a multi sheet spreadsheet. Am I being unrealistic thinking Numbers can handle this?

    I suggest backing up the file using Time Machine.
    You can also use the menu item "File > Revert To " to see all versions

  • This file can't be opened because it has been deleted

    When I tried to save an Appleworks 6 document by clicking SAVE (drop down menu) and then inputting a file name and then clicking SAVE I get the following message.
    "This file can't be opened because it has been deleted."
    This problem started yesterday. I also had this problem this morning - but -
    I have just tried to replicate the problem and I can't
    However, has anybody had this problem before? If you did you solve it, or did it just not happen again?

    Although I've only gotten this message when I've had AppleWorks 6 open in both Classic & OS X at the same time, others get it like you with no specific cause. It usually is fixed by using Disk Utility to repair permissions and deleting the AppleWorks 6 preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more on the preferences.
