3rd party apps wont start up after updating to Leopard

I upgraded a iMac - 2ghz Intel Core Duo to Leopard 10.5. Boots fine. All the new apps run fine but none of my previous apps such as Office, Photoshop, Eudora, Toast, etc. will launch. They bounce in the dock then tell me they quit unexpectedly. HELP!

Hello er:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
While it is possible that some of your applications are not compatible with OS X 1o0.5, I seriously doubt that all of them will not run.
Run permission repair from your HD.
Run repair disk from your software install DVD.
Do you have a backup of your system before the upgrade?
There are other steps that are more time consuming, but run the above items first.

  • 3rd Party Apps No Longer Work After Update

    I just got my iPhone today and installed a few apps, Cube and GuitarChords. Both apps were working fine earlier. Later I connected the phone to my PC and it requested that I perform an update to v2.2, which I did. After the update, neither app would start. When I pressed the icon, it seemed to start for a few seconds then went back to the main screen. I reinstalled the apps and GuitarChords worked, but Cube still wouldn't start. I then did a hard reset (holding home and lock button) and now neither app will open again. All the apple apps start fine. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the apps working again?
    On a similar note, how would you guys rate the stability of the iPhone at this time. I mostly use my phone for business, so if it's still pretty buggy I'd like to return it and get back on my Win Mobile phone for now. Thanks in advance!

    IT DID IT AGAIN!!!
    I didn't change or update anything. I was using the Touch Term ssh client this morning and it was working fine. I tried using Win Admin later this afternoon and it wouldn't start, none of the 3rd party apps would. Again I tried the soft and hard resets. I even tried resetting the phone in the general menu. After looking around online, I see that this is an extremely common issue. I'm going to return the iPhone tomorrow and have my Tilt reactivated.
    I don't know if Apple monitors these forums, but if so they should take note; if they intend to make a dent in the enterprise market, stability needs to be a top priority. Sure, Windows Mobile doesn't have a very pretty or friendly interface, but it's quite reliable. In the year that I had my Tilt, it crashed once, and that was the fault of buggy software I had installed. Honestly, this being the first Apple product I've personally owned leaves a poor impression of the brand. I know Apple can do better, I manage several Macs at work and I almost never get support calls from those users. I really like the iPhone, and hopefully Apple can get their priorities straight and work out the issues, as I would like to give it another go in the future.
    Thank you again to those who responded to my question earlier.

  • Macbook Pro Wont Start Up After Update

    Hey All,
    I was in the middle of installing the most recent update for OSX when my computer froze completely. I shut it off by holding down the power button. Now, when I start it up, right after the apple, it goes to a screen with some script in the upper left hand corner, and a box in the middle with a picture of the power button telling me I need to restart. I've restarted it several times and it just keeps going back to that screen.
    I have booted it up from the install DVD and run disk repairs and verifications, as well as checking the system profiler and utility, and nothing seems worng. I've tried starting it up by choosing to start up from the folder and it still didnt work.
    If you've got any ideas, let me know. All your advice is appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I meant to say that the system would have been made unstable after the semi-complete update (if it was in the middle of replacing a crucial system file).
    An archive and install would replace all system files, so wouldn't hurt anything. You might have to reinstall any system-intrusive applications (Palm Hotsync springs to mind, if you have that) but it will certainly fix system corruption, if that is your issue.
    After the reinstall, if you encounter a complete freeze again, then I would definitely be suspicious of hardware. Possibly the original RAM, but it could be somewhere else in the system, such as the logic board. In those cases, you would have to go back to Apple for repair. (Your Macbook Pro, that is, not you.)

  • Computer wont start up after update

    today i had an update notification from my update software. So I loaded it and let my computer restart. Well i went make a sandwich and when i came back my computer was still starting up.
    Everytime i turn it off (via power button) i get the gray apple and little grey pinwheel then it alternates from a blue screen with the grey pinwheel to a grey blank screen. It just keeps flip-flopping between the two.
    HELP ME!!!!
    Update:
    won't let me load in safe mode.....

    The operating system disc can only at minimum fix normal directory damage. Extensive damage requires more sophisticated utilities. From the sounds of it, your data isn't backed up, so I really recommend you pursue the course of getting an external hard drive at least bigger than your internal drive, partitioning it, and installing an operating system and data recovery tool on it's first partition, and making its second partition at least as large as your internal drive, and recovering to the second partition your data. This will at least let you try more extensive tools on your machine to get it back to normal, in event the issue isn't hardware related. But since it is impossible to determine the difference between a hardware or software issue, unless the machine actually boots and shows all data, a data recovery program & external hard drive are the tools I recommend getting. If you read my aforementioned backup FAQ, it explains this.

  • HP Pavilion g6 wont start up after updating windows, no blue/black screen or fan noise

    Clicked update and shutdown on the laptop last night, tried to turn on this morning getting no response at all, power button is intact its not damaged or overheated any ideas?

    Hi @ESAWatson91 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a first rate  place to find answers and information!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that after doing an update and shutdown, that when you try to power it on you are getting no response at all.
    First I would try a hard reset. Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset.
    If that did not help, please provide some more information.
    Do see any power lights on the adapter?
    Do you hear the fan  or hard drive spin up?
    Do you hear any beeps or see any flashing lights?
    If you would like further assistance please provide your exact model, the OS and reply to my questions.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Good Luck!

  • After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"

    After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"
    The system logs reads:
    Mar 29 22:06:25 server servermgrd[82]: servermgr_web:  Error Domain=XSServerFoundationErrorDomain Code=4 "Failed to read settings: Exception:
              undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass
              ." UserInfo=0x7fc547901080 {NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to read settings: Exception:
              undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

  • Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

    Hi
    I hope someone can help me with this issue.
    After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
    1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
    2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
    3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
    4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
    5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
    Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
    Anybody has any solution?
    Thanks in advance.

  • After upgrade 3rd party apps are looking for serials

    Not wanting to jeopardize my Mavericks install, I cloned my main HD and after checking that the cloned drive did boot, I installed Yosemite to it. Despite all my apps showing up in the application folder, some won't open and some are requesting I reinstall the serial numbers. I used Carbon Copy and asked it to clone all files. Are there hidden files it missed or is this requirement to reregister all the 3rd party apps. normal?

    Mike,
    If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
    Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
    Quit LPX
    Open Finder
    Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
    Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
    Now Restart your Mac.....
    and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
    Fingers crossed...

  • All 3rd party apps are crashing on startup of the app even after a restore

    My iPhone was working perfectly fine yesterday before I updated the weather.com application over wifi, ever since then none of my 3rd party apps will open on the iphone. The standard apple apps i.e. weather, email, calculator, etc. all open fine.
    I have done a reset, a hard reset and a full restore from a backup and still it is not working properly. Any ideas on what to do from here?

  • Updated Carrier Settings - All 3rd party apps now crash on startup.

    Updated the new Carrier Settings today. Now all 3rd party apps on the iPhone crash on startup. Am I the only one experiencing this?
    Rebooted several times
    Running 3.1 (7C144)
    Thanks!

    Just wanted to post in the event someone else had the same issue. I did a restore and reset. All third party apps went away (poof).
    I had to manually re-install my apps from the app-store. Thank goodness iTunes tracks your previous purchases.

  • My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately.  This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

    My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately.  This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

    Here's a couple things to try:
    1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
    3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
    Hope one of these works for you!

  • Possible fix for 3rd party apps crashing after 3.0

    If some or most of your 3rd party apps crash when launching them after upgrading to 3.0, I have a fix that cured my problem. Another symptom is that you can delete the App, then reinstall and it works until syncing with iTunes.
    Well my cure was to download any app, even a free one via iTunes, then sync with the iPhone. All was cured. I usually just download Apps straight from the iPhone, but the iTunes route worked.
