4.3 won't launch from lrcat files

I always launch LR by double-clicking the catalog files for the images that I want to work in.... I have many catalogs so launching from the one I need is the simplest way. Installed 4.3 today, and now, double-clicking the catalog files does nothing... LR won't launch, nothing happens. anyone else seeing this?? any help from Adobe??

Okay, that answered that question for me. But something else just doesn't make sense. I just tried it again, double clicked on the catalog file, and Lightroom opened just as expected. All I did was download the 4.3 update and install it like I normally do. So I wonder why it would fail to do a registry entry on your computer but not mine. I'm not challenging you, or saying that you are wrong. It just doesn't make sense. It almost seems like if there is any anomaly with Lightroom or with the computer that Lightroom is automatically the thing that gets blamed. The program has been so erratic, baggy, inconsistent, slow, and who knows what else that it seems to have gotten some people terribly gun shy. I just wish Adobe could almost start over if necessary to make things right. I like Lightroom a lot. Maybe I'm just going to have to stop reading the forums because every time I come on here I get scared about another problem. I hope I don't run into the same thing you're having. But I wish Adobe looked like they were really on top of things.

Applications won't launch from dock

I have recently had to re install tiger and was not able to use archive function so had to erase.
Most files etc were OK and was able to shift stuff around between the macs hard drive and an external storage device.
Lost of stuff got duplicated and I've been trying to sort out the mess!
I'm pretty well there now but have one last weird problem.
I can't launch the Word or Excell apps from the dock.
I've deleted and added them and also re installed the Office software but it still won't work.
I can open any of my Word or Excell files from the docs folder but the programme won't launch from the dock
Any ideas?

What happens if you go to office preferences (from your pulldown menu with Word or Excel open) >> general >> "show project gallery at startup" and deselect that item?
It's also possible that it could be a font that Office does not care for. Try dragging ~(yourhome)/library/fonts to the desktop and logging out and back in or restarting.

Safari 2.0.3 won't launch from Mail

Since the new security update yesterday for OS X4.5, my Safari browser 2.0.3 won't launch from the Mail e-mail program.
What do I do now? It was working perfectly before the update.
Kathy : (

I've had the same problem using numerous apps and on different Macs since updating to 10.4.5. Today, using the "check for updates" in Quicken 2006, something corrupted Safari completely and it won't launch at all - double click merely shows the icon in the Dock for a second before it quits. I did all the usual stuff: deleted the cache, cookies, etc. Finally trashed the app but now I can't figure out how to reinstall it alone...

TS4412 Aperture 3.4.3 simply won't launch from a fresh install

So, I just purchased Aperture from the App Store, and it won't launch.
I tried the advice here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4412
To no avail. Since the app hasn't launched, there is no preference file to delete.
The only other variables, of course, would be my hardware and OS, but all of that is up to date.
I kind of need the app running... Any idea what's happening?
Cheers,

Do you have Final Cut installed? The crash dump has all the signs of the classic Final Cut /Aperture conflict.
If so the easiest way to fix the situation is to just install the operating system Mountain Lion again. Re-installing the OS will not damage your data files however is it always a good idea to have a full backup in cases lie this.

Will launch in Eclipse, won't launch from command prompt

I've got a project that works in Eclipse, but won't run from the command line prompt.
The command line command that I'm using is this...
java -cp /users/shared/RainfallSeriesTranslator/bin ui/LauncherThe error I get is this...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
 at ui.Launcher.getMethods(Launcher.java:37)
 at ui.Launcher.<clinit>(Launcher.java:15)and the class is this...
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Launcher {
 private final static String name = "RainfallSeriesTranslatorPanel";
 private final static String[] methods = getMethods();
 private final static String fileExt = ".class";
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 new Panel(name, methods);
 public static String[] getMethods() {
 String workingDirectory = System.getProperty("user.dir");
 String fileSeparator = System.getProperty("file.separator");
 String methodDirectory = workingDirectory + fileSeparator + "bin" + fileSeparator + "methods";
 File dir = new File(methodDirectory);
 ArrayList <String> methodsAL = new ArrayList<String>();
 FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
 public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
 return name.endsWith(fileExt);
 String []contents = dir.list(filter);
 for (int i = 0; i < contents.length; i++){
 methodsAL.add(contents.replace(fileExt, ""));
 return methodsAL.toArray(new String[methodsAL.size()]);
 public String getPanelName() {
 return name;
 public String getFileExtensionName() {
 return fileExt;
}BTW the purpose of getMethods is to dynamically list out the classes (files) in the directory 'methods', and to load the names into an array which is passed to a JComboBox in the Panel. My intention is to permit users to select which method to use for the next step of the analysis. If there's a better way to do it, I'd like to know.
Having played around with the code, I can get it to run if I 'hardwire' the methodsAL arraylist to ... methodsAL.add("Some method");...but that defeats the purpose of reading in the classnames dynamically.
So, the nullpointerexception seems to do with the array 'contents' not getting populated, but I can't figure out why. As I noted above, it works in Eclipse, so why doesn't it work from the command prompt?

Martin_J wrote:
Sorry, I had cut out some comment lines at the top.
Line 37 is the line
for (int i = 0; i < contents.length; i++){So it looks like the nullpointerexception is generated because the array 'contents' has a null (zero?) length.
On reflection, is this to do with the working directory? You will note that I have prepended the 'methods' directory with the working directory path. I'm thinking that this would work in Eclipse because the working directory is something, but it does not work when I execute from the command prompt because the working directory is something else.
If this is the case, then what is the best way to find a directory at a relative location to a class?You get that error because the directory doesn't exist at the given location (the bin folder I guess). dir.list() returns null.

Final Cut Server 1.5: G5 clients won't launch from icon

So I upgraded my client from FCServer 1.1.1 to 1.5. They have a mix of G5 and Mac Pro stations. The 4 Mac Pros are all working fine after some fiddling and Java cache deleting. The G5s, however, won't run the client launched from the saved icon.
Scenario:
Access the client download from (IP address)/finalcutserver in a web browser - this works.
The applet downloads and saves - this works.
SOMETIMES it asks where to save the app - sometimes works.
The client app runs, logs in, all working fine - great.
BUT...if you quit and try to relaunch from that icon, it doesn't work. Purged Java caches, emptied the cache in the client, etc. - nothing. Updated from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8, same problem.
The Intel boxes all work, none of the G5s do - seems entirely platform specific.
-mike

Heh... I solved this... in a manner of speaking. I really appreciate the input from Nicholas, Andy, RadUS, and everyone else, but nothing worked.
Weird. May be actually a Java problem, not a FCSvr problem, maybe something in the Java implementation of 10.5.7 and later. But who knows? No word on this from Apple. There's a surprise.
Here's the solution I ended up with. It's a cop-out I know, but it works!
My solution was to put the Final Cut Server.jnlp file on my desktop and just launch it from there. You can even make it look like the desktop app if you want. Here's how:
First you have to get the Final Cut Server.jnlp file on your desktop. It's not easy to find, because it's located in some weird temp directory somewhere buried in the recesses of the OS. If you don't know where it is, look through your browser's download history and find it. You can always redownload it by going to your server (yourserver.com/finalcutserver) and redownloading it. When you find it, move it to your desktop. Then do a Get Info on both the desktop app and jnlp file. Click on the icon for the app (the tray with the balls) and press Command C to copy the icon. Then click on the jnlp icon (the document with the cup of java) and press Command V to paste the FCSvr desktop app icon to the jnlp. Then check "hide extension" in the jnlp's get info window. Voila. You now have a "fake" desktop app. Yes, it's fake. Get over it! You won't be able to tell a difference. This is the only solution I came up with and I reinstalled Leopard twice.
Hope this helps others too!

How To Set Third Party Media App Is Default When Launched From Default File Manager

I use rock media player, which can encode & decode The Video and audio files i use, unlike the phone i have, i don't receive the option to set the app as the default media player. I would really like to be able to use this app on the thrive as it is some much a better media player than the thrives defaulty app. Rock player is the name of the app, who do set it as the default player when launched from the default file manager.

From my experience playing with the Thrive, when you attempt to watch a media file, it will open a menu asking you what application to use. From that popup, you can set a default.

System Preferences & Software Update won't launch from Apple Menu

I could really use some help with this, I've tried google searches etc and nothing has worked out.
I recently upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 and then changed back to 10.4.11
When it was installed (from a Universal retail not the DVD that came with the mac) I copied all the folders from "Previous System" and replaced the newly made ones.
At some point I was using System Preferences when it vanished with the usual message "Closed unexpectedly, reopen, close etc". Since then neither System Preferences nor Software Update will launch from the apple menu. System Preferences will, however, open from the dock.
When they are clicked on the hard drive makes some noise and then stops and nothing appears.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi catloo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
This is the Tiger/10.4 forums & you might get a better answer on the 10.5 forums.
It's quite acceptable to start a new topic of your own, feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

Camera App Won't Launch from Lock Screen after update

After updating to ios 8 and then 8.1 my camera app will not launch from the lockscreen. When I swipe up on the camera app I see my home screen wallpaper until I press the home button or the lock button.

Hey morpeo,
Thanks for the question. Let’s see if we can isolate the issue further. To do so, try restarting/resetting your device:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after a restart, let’s see if we can isolate to software or hardware by backing up and restoring your device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Applications won't launch when a file from Finder or Dock is opened

With Snow Leopard i'm experiencing the following problem:
After a while of operating, if an application isn't launched and i open a file of that app from the Finder or the Dock, the app's blue indicator blinks for a very long time and when it's finally open the app freezes. only option is to force quit the app.
But i can in fact open the file, if i open the app first and then select the file with the open dialog.
This happenes with every application: +Archive Utility.app, TextEdit.app, Preview.app+ and non-Apple apps.
When i reboot, the problem is gone for about an hour.
Any solutions?

Rebuilding the launch services database sounds like a good thing to try - except on Snow, the directory LaunchServices.framework doesn't exist in the place that that link points to.
Its now in /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister according to [Tuaw|http://www.tuaw.com/2009/06/11/terminal-tips-rebuild-your-launch-services -database-to-clean-up>
I've just rebuilt - I'll post in a few hours if it worked.....

Bridge won't launch from CS3 - intermittent problem

Hi folks I dont think I am alone in experiencing this problem as a quick google threw up other sufferers but the suggested fix update everything at the Adobe website has not fixed the problem, so I am hoping that someone here can shed some light. Problem 1; Bridge will sometimes not open from CS3 - ie when I click on the icon , or if Bridge is set up to open automatically when CS3 opens, I sometimes get an error message that reads error 2:Photoshop is undefined. Line: 1 ->photoshop10.invoke bridge (false, false, ); When this happens Bridge will still open fine from the start menu, so it is not disastrous but is annoying because the keyboard shortcut <shift ctrl W > won't work either (to close a file in CS3 and bring the Bridge window up on screen) - a similar error message is received when using Shift Ctrl W as when trying to open bridge. Problem 2; the fly out menus will not remain on screen. Eg if I have a layer and want to access the blend mode menu - if I click on the menu in the layer palette the menu appears for a second and then disappears. Problem 3: If I try to create a new action as soon as I click on the "new action" in the actions palette the word "scripts" appears multiple times in the action - it just produces line after line of this until I click the button to stop the action. Problem 4 (may be related to problem 2 ?); in the crop tool - I can't get the cursor to remain in the width and height boxes - so I can't control the dimensions of the crop (which is currently stuck at my last size of 3 x 4 cm - not much use to man nor beast). Most frustratingly of all - these are all intermittent problems. Things I have tried - updating CS3 and bridge from Adobe site, opening CS3 and bridge before any other program, not running any other program at the same time, uninstalling and reinstalling (after disabling all antivirus etc stuff), but so far nothing works. I am using a 1 year old Dell PC, lots of RAM and hard drive available, only working from internal drives, no new hardware or software loaded (although there might have been a windows update - but this occurred after the problems started and has not noticeably changed things). Windows XP pro. Recently done whole system scan for viruses etc and no problems found. Please help, this has been going on since I loaded CS3 a few months ago and it is driving me nuts. Thanks Amanda D'Arcy

Amanda - One consistent recommendation that has fixed a lot of problems, especially if program worked before, and does not now, is to reset preferences. This is not the same as uninstalling and reinstalling, as the preference file is not affected with that operation.
Since it is intermittent problem this will probably not help, but worth a shot.
When it does not work is there some process that is running, like a anti-virus scan, or?
What about startup scripts in Bridge? Disable any you do not need.

AIR apps won't launch from flex builder

Hi,
I am currently working on my first AIR app inside of Flex
Builder 3. For some reason, when I try to launch, profile, or debug
the app, it does it's normal "Loading.." message in the
bottom-right corner, but will never launch. The loading message
just disappears and the app never shows up. I do have the AIR
runtime installed. I receive this message when trying to profile
the application:
Process terminated without establishing connection to
debugger.
Command:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder
3\sdks\3.0.0\bin\adl.exe" "C:\Personal\Freelance
Projects\MyBoatData_Prototype\bin-debug\MyBoatData-app.xml"
"C:\Personal\Freelance Projects\MyBoatData_Prototype\bin-debug"
Output from command:
invocation forwarded to primary instance
Can anyone help?

If you are using mx:Application, you need to set visible as
true in the app.xml file.
Also make sure that no instance of adl is already running. If
so kill that instance via task manager.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Itunes won't launch from Windows XP

Feel like I must be doing something fundamentally wrong. Have downloaded itunes from website (plus de-installed and reinstalled several times), but itunes won't open when icon is clicked. It doesn't open from start menu either. Waiting to load up daughter's new ipod 30Gb with video, but cannot get past first base.

I have never installed any of the problem codec packs so I don't know what they look like. Usually people install them intentionally and know what the look like.
Have a good look around in Start>>All Programs to see if you can see anything that looks like them. If you find one ther should be an uninstall facility.
If any one else can help with this please do.
Anyway if you can't find anything this is how you do the cleanup and reinstall, it's probably worth a go if can't find anything, but if you do have an incompatible codec, it won't work.
He is the list of known problem codecs again:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
You can Google the names to see if that rings any bells.
Reinstalling Quicktime:
Download the stand alone Quicktime:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method here (just Quicktime):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Or for Vista
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.
