All Apple apps won't work/open

I was wondering if anybody has ever seen or heard of something like this…
For some reason all of my Apple applications (i.e. safari, iChat, mail, address book, calculator, ect.) don't open. But all other apps seem to work. (on firefox now)
When I open an app, it bounces once and then doesn't do anything else. With the exception of iChat which allows me to login, once I try to send a message it freezes. When I hit apple+tab to scroll through open applications it shows the icon of the problem apps and I have to force quit to close them. But like I said all other applications seem to be working fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

    blakefromsaint george,
    if you boot your MacBook Pro into Safe mode, do your apps still not work then?

  • Why is it that each time I upgrade my iPad, half of my apps won't work properly but worst of all my email won't send after the latest "patch" today, wake up Apple I am a new user and getting sick of this problems

    WHy is it that each time I get an upgrade some of my Apps won't work when they did with the previous version. I have just upgraded to v7.01 and now I cannot send email, wake up Apple and get it right as I am a new user of Apple technology and not impressed.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Apps won't work after sync and software update

    Just syncd my ipod 4.  Now FB, games and other apps won't work.  The screen just goes blank.  Re did the sync and still nothing.  I really don't want to restore the settings because I have a lot of info on this pod.  What can I do?

    Try restarting your iPod by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, if that don't work try double clicking your home button to open your multi-task window hold you finger on the first app until it start to wiggle and the red minus sign shows up in the left corner tap the red minus sign to close all of your open programs.

    iOS 5.0 i never did an Update or restore to the software
    iPhone 4S white
    16GB
    iOS 5.0
    Unlocked Version But now im using China Unicom Carrier
    Bought on January 2012

    I happen to be experiencing then same problem again!
    I have followed all the steps and my phone will just not come right. I love my iPhone but I have no clue what is going on sometimes it will just freeze in the camera app and I have to restart my whole phone.
    I have downloaded another camera app to see if it would make any difference and it hasn't.
    Should I take it back to the service provider that I have my contract with and get them to send it in to apple? Because the phone is only 3 months old.
    Please Help me or advise me on what to do because I don't want to leave it and it causes more problems.

  • Had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, new iPhoto etc. just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No rosetta and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

    I had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, snow leopard and mountain lion,  just to connect my new iPhone 5 and somewhere between uploading iPhone 4S pics to iCloud some important pics disappeared then installed new iTunes and purchased new iPhoto all  just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No Rosetta to make apps work but its not as simple as upgrading apps and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

    File a complaint with Apple for not giving adequate warning before upgrading OS X that it would render PPC programs dead.
    That someone at Apple said requiring the iPhone 5 to have 10.8 (10.6.8 is the minimum actually) and in order to remain a loyal Apple customer they need to fix this mess and revert your machine and software back to 10.6.8
    You see, 10.6.8 would have ran your iPhone 5 and ran your PPC based software, so whoever told you to upgrade to 10.8 was wrong and they need to fix your machine.
    It can be reverted to 10.6.8 yourself.

  • All my apps won't sync to my ipad.

    I received a new ipad because my original wouldn't charge and now all my apps won't sync, only a few will.  How do I get all of them to sync?

    As far as I know, iTunes will still not change anything until you click on Apply in the lower right corner. I fiddle with my settings all the time - just so I can get a sense if what to expect should I make any changes - and I have never seen anything happen to my configuration unless I click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. Not only that - you have turned off auto sync so as far as I know you still have to click on sync or apply in order for the iPad to sync with iTunes.
    That doesn't mean it will not happen, I've never seen it happen - is all that I'm saying. I'm sorry but I'm not sure what will happen, but the only reason that I can of why the apps will not transfer is because of the manual manage setting. I could be wrong about that as well.
    Look at this discussion - which I have referred quite a few users to read. I know this process has worked for a number of people that have read it and used the instructions in it. Maybe we are missing something - what that would be - I'm not quite sure, but take a look.

  • All Mac apps don't work after cloning on new hd.

    All Mac apps don't work after cloning on new hd.
    I used CCC to clone 10.6.8 then onto new drive. Everything works BUT all Mac apps.
    Error: You can't open the app(s) because it is not supported on this type of Mac. (On MacBook 2011)
    Thanks for your help.

    All good. Just drag and dropped each application and they worked until I did a restart. Then repaired permissions and everything works.

  • How do I close all the apps that are still open?

    How do I close all the apps that are still open?

    You don't need to.
    The "task bar" that Demo mentions above is not, in fact, a task bar at all - it is the Recently Used Apps list. Not all of the apps in this list are open, running or in memory.
    iOS automatically handles closing apps that are not in use, so you don't have to manually manage them.

  • Installed 10.4.8 (PPC) - now my Apple DVD won't work

    After installing the 10.4.8 update on my G4 laptop my Apple DVD Player app won't work, saying "A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]?
    What happend and how do I fix it?

    Repair permissions and restart. Check System Preferences->CDs & DVDs, check the settings, and try again. Move the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences/ to the desktop and try again. Run the System Profiler app and see what it says for the device.
    Is the DVD drive internal or external? What kind of Mac? Other options are to create anothe admin user account, log into it, and see if it'll work.
    BTW, it's not the update. Mine works fine and has for the past six years through 10.1 through 10.4.8.
