10.8.3 apps not opening files?

After upgrading to 10.8.3 certain apps cannot "open files" from their menu. i.e. BlackMagic Disk Speed Test cannot open window to select hard drive to test, iPhoto cannot "Import Library".  However, if I log into my other user account which is located on my SSD, the apps work fine.
My main boot is a Samsung 840 PRO SSD, with TRIM enabled. My second HD which has my main user account is the standard 1 TB Hard drive that came with my Mini. Is it possible the update corrupted or changed permissions on the User account on the second hard drive? I've tried the route of fixing the Containers folder, but it did not help. Everything else seems to be working just fine, but this is getting a little annoying.

I found the fix. The problem was with com.apple.ubd. Here is where I found the fix at the bottom.http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281143-comappleubd-problem/

    About the Mac
    I recently updated to Yosemite and now I am having problems with the above mentioned apps, not opening at all.
    I am unable to check to which version its update to, or even update to next version.

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Photoshop does not open file sent from LR

    Photoshop CS6 Extended does not open files sent from Lightroom. 4.4 on Win 7. What is wrong? PS starts but instead in LR the error "Could not open Photoshop' appears.

    BTW, I tried moving the Editor app from the support file into the app folder per fixes on this issue in the past.

  • V2.3 not opening files

    All of sudden, my Numbers v2.3 is not opening files and says I must upgrade.  Why do I have to upgrade to keep using Numbers application I've already paid for? 

    Hi,
    You probably have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, one in the main Applications folder and one in an 'iWork '09 subfolder within Applications. 
    If you do, the one in the main Applications folder is the new Numbers 3, possibly downloaded automatically because you have 'Install app updates' ticked in System Preferences > App Store.
    You may have inadvertently opened some of your old Numbers documents with the new version, made changes, and saved them. That converts them to the new Numbers 3 format.
    Now you may be inadvertently trying to open them with the old version of Numbers, which complains that it can't open the new format and that you must upgrade.
    So try opening the documents with the Numbers located in your main Applications folder, not the one in the iWork '09 subfolder. 
    And if you need to get those documents back in a format that you can open with the old Numbers, you can File> Export to > Numbers '09 ...  Or work on them in the new Numbers.

  • InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

    BW Experts,
    I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd  marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
    Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

    Hi Nagesh,
    Thanks for helping out.
    If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
    Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
    (red icon) Request No.147515

    If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf"  I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file.  After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared.  How do I resolve this problem?

  • My photoshop will not open files or create new files, please help?

    Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 will not work,
    When machine is first started the program works, for about 10 mins, then
    I can not open files, create new ones. When it does work it can not perform functions like transform etc.
    I tried disabling third party plug ins
    I tried creating a new account on my machine
    Nothing seems to work.
    Can any one shed some light on the problem?
    Cheers!

    There is a script running which Noscript lets me forbid, called akamaihd.net. It runs a script which is the same as in html when you highlight a word then attach a url to it.
    I don't know why I am seeing it but not others. FF and Chrome seem susceptible to it. It's not malware as usually thought of because no virus/malware program finds it here.
    Unfortunately, I have to forbid this script for every site I visit.
    In the other thread where your browser displayed an 'i.trkjmp.com' link which isn't really in the web page, I gave you a Google link for info about the problem. You said that it must be something else. Well, for months now, Chrome and Firefox users have been troubled by extensions which cause the 'i.trkjmp.com' problem. You might want to revisit the link I gave you.

  • Error message Could not open file....on application server

    Hi Experts,
    we are using 3.1 production server which has four application servers, after harware upgrdation we are facing connectivity problem with datastage.
    daily the infospkoes and abap programs are faling with the message "Could not open file........on application server".
    when we trigger manually on one server then it gets success, means we are facing problem with other 3 appliction servers. we do not know how to go about this issue.

    Hi,
    This is error RSBO214 and can be due to upper/lower case letters within your destination path.
    Maybe you have changed the path in transaction SE16?
    In case you change the destination manually, you have to make sure that that the directory exists and that the authorizations are set up correctly for the extraction user.
    Rgds,
    Colum

  • Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

    Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

    As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
    Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
    On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
    Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

  • Adobe reader X will not open files on the web

    If above steps doesn't work then let me know which Browser you are using, may be we have to do some settings there.

  • Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

    I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network.  I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
    The exact message I get is:  "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"  I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
    For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
    That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

  • Photoshop not opening files

    Photoshop CS5 will not open files. Occasionally if i try to open a .psd file that has already been created by double clicking on it in its folder, it will open but I will hardly be able to edit it. For example, the brush tool does not work, crop tool, resizing image etc. I had this problem 2 weeks ago. I uninstalled adobe creative suite, ran the adobe cloud cleanup tool and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again. However after a week everything suddenly went back to the way it was again. Very frustrating! I might as well mention that at the same time as Photoshop "crashed" I also became unable to drag objects in Illustrator and InDesign.
    I am not very good on the technical side so I just copied all my performance info below. I am working from a laptop with a mouse plugged into the usb port. Is there any other details you need to know?
    Thank you in advance for your help!
