  • System preferences cannot open because it may be damaged or incomplete??.. and now iphoto wont open... it just shows the loading circle.

    I have not deleted anything... I've used the applications install dvd... I've tried following along with previous conversations BUT nothing seems to be working.. can someone please help me?
    Oh! And since this has been not working... my iphoto won't load aswell.. does anyone know how to fix that issue?

    Diane,
    Your photos are in the iPhoto Library. Almost certainly that is intact, so don't worry.
    Go to your Home folder and open the folder called Pictures. What you want is in there, iPhoto Library. Don't do anything there, this is just to reassure yourself.
    So it is a matter of getting the iPhoto app to work. Apps are in the Applications folder. Find it and trash it.
    Next download iPhoto:

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    If you're opening it from /Applications then you'll either need to restore it from a backup, install/extract from the Snow Leopard DVD, or reinstall OS X.
    Meantime, quicktime 7 should work for playing audio/video

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    you probably have an incomplete/corrupt download.

    then re-download perhaps with a different browser.

  • You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS5 because it may be damaged or incomplete

    Hi all,
    I have installed Adobe cs5 and all the other programs (indesign etc etc) work but when I try to open photoshop it says:
    "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS5.app because it may be damaged or incomplete"
    I am a noob, I first installed it but it was in polish, couldn't work out how to change the language but entered into the program without problems so I deleted, redownloaded and reinstalled and it said the above. I deleted, redownloaded and reinstalled again but it didn't help.
    What else can I do? again, I am a noob to all of this (and Macs) so Idiots Guide to Fixing your Photoshop CS5" Would be fantastic!!
    Many thanks
    Chelsea

    Chelsea,
    Your big (as in HUGE) mistake was in deleting the application instead of using the Adobe uninstaller.
    Look for the CS5Clean script at the Adobe site, download it and run it according to the instrructions.
    Good luck.

  • ID Install -  Can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete.

    Trying to install inDesign CS6 on my imac. But everytime I try at end of install I either get a problem with install error, or if it does show up in my applications folder, it has a "no" sign and when clicked I get:
    "You can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    Need help, Im a freelance desktop publisher and need this to work!

    After I deleted Adobe File Manager because it was always popping up annoyingly, I got a similar "damaged application - reinstall" message. However, InDesign didn't seem to be affected. Nevertheless, I reinstalled AFM, and fixed the problem, except for the annoying appearances of AFM.
    If it's not present on your system, you can search Google for "download adobe application manager mac" without quotes, to download and install it.

    Here’s some updates.
    I can not uninstall Flash (CS4) using "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium". It looks like Flash is not installed.
    If I try to install it using the disk, it looks like Flash is not installed at all. So I go thrue the installation process, and follow the instructions, until it’s complete.
    But if I go in my App folder, and look in the Adobe Flash CS4 folder the Flash.app icon has a circle with a bar in it. This is when I get the message.

  • "You can't open the application [application name] because it may be damaged or incomplete"

    I just wiped a Macbook Pro and freshly installed OS 10.6.3.(since ran updates to 10.6.8) I installed Adobe CS4 and when you try to open InDesign, bridge or Illustrator you get the error message:
    "You can't open the application [application name] because it may be damaged or incomplete" The Icon to each of these three also have crossed out symbol over them.
    I have done this whole process twice, the 2nd time I used a different Adobe Install CD and a different license, same result.
    Photoshop and Acrobat work fine. What happened to these three?

    I am having a simular problem with cs5.5 Dreamweaver.

  • Error: "You can't open the application....because it may be damaged or incomplete"

    I just wiped a Macbook Pro and freshly installed OS 10.6.3.
    I installed CS4 and when you try to open InDesign or Illustrator you get the error message:
    "You can't open the application (InDesign or Illustrator) because it may be damaged or incomplete"
    Photoshop and Acrobat work fine. What happened to these two?
    The Icon to each of these two also have crossed out symbol over them.

    This must really be a mystery.  Nearly nothing found using Google.  There seems to be a similar problem with iPhoto that happens and get this error message but no many solutions.
    Anyone out there have any suggestions?
