Angry birds 1.6 update won't launch

on an ipod touch gen 2 with 32 Mb, the new angry birds 1.60 update downloaded but won't launch. screen goes black for a few seconds and then back to home. once, it did go to the 'loading' page but it froze. i tried a soft reset and a hard reset - neither fixed the problem. do i need to do a restore, and will i lose all progress? how to do it so i won't lose all progress - and will it help? note: a web search suggested that i'm not the only one with this problem with this particular update, though i haven't seen any fixes yet. thx for any help/tips you have.

FYI, finally Rovio replied to my bug reports, here is what they say (I haven't tried it yet...not sure how to do the backup to keep progress but will look at that link).
We have now received some feedback on this issue and are currently investigating it. We apologize for not being able to give an answer or instructions right away, this is something that needs deeper investigation.
Meanwhile you can try to reinstall the game but remember to back up scores and game progress. At the moment we don't have an own program to do this. However, I would recommend you to take a look at the following link:

Angry Birds Seasons Perpetual Updating

I am running iTunes 12 on a Win 7 laptop. This past week an Angry Birds Seasons update was available so i loaded on my laptop and all my devices. Since then everytime I visit the App Store Update page either on my laptop or my iDevices, Angry Birds Seasons is there. The icons on the update page won't go away on any of the devices I view the App Store Update page. What is going on? How do I get rid of this perpetual update without screwing up my scores?

Ask the developer of Angry Birds. How are we supposed to know why they do anything?

Why is angry birds in my updates list?

I have a brand new macbook air that's only a week or so old and has never had angry birds installed on it. I only vaguely even know what the heck angry birds is, let alone have I ever used it. Yet in the App Store on the updates tabs, low and behold there appear angry birds. like, what?! not that it really matters in the grand scheme of the universe, but how do I remove this from the updates list so i don't get a little red "1" in the corner of my app store icon? this is very strange.

Have you been downloading apps that should cost money for free somewhere? Because there is a well-known exploit that pirates use to steal software that involves mimicking a cheap app... Like Angry Birds. A symptom of such theft is often that updates for software that you do not have show up.

Safari, Mail, and Software Update won't launch

I've tried downloading Safari 3 but my iMac needed to be 10.4+. As a result my Safari, Mail , and Software Update will not launch. When I click either one it will just do 1 or 2 bounces and will not open. No error message pops up.My Firefox browser does work so it can't be a internet problem.
This is what comes up on Console when I try to open Safari.
Safari can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SyndicationUI.framework/Versions/A/Syndicatio nUI (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you.

That's probably because Safari 3.1 introduced a webkit that your Panther applications can't use.
Go to HD/Library/Packages, and delete the package for Safari 3.
Then go to HD/Library/Receipts and delete any reference to Safari 3.
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Now re-install your previous version of Safari from your install disk (the one that came with your Mac).
Repair permissions and reboot.

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...

Safari and Software Update won't launch on Macbook

I have a macbook (OS X 10.4.11) that I haven't used in a while. I tried to use it today but Safari crashes as soon as I launch it. I can't even view a page--Safari and its menu appear momentarily on the top bar and then disappear. Software Update does the same thing. Skype didn't launch the first time I tried, but it did after doing some disk repair. I don't want to use the Mac CD to take it to factory settings because I don't want to lose the Microsoft Office I have on it. Is there a way to make these programs work?

When you boot up the Mac with the install disc in, hold the C key for around 10-20 seconds. THEN let go of the C key. I notice this when doing this on my Mac. I would hold down the C key for a minute, and give up cause I think it just froze, and let go of the button only to find out that it didn't really work cause I had to let go of the C key. It also takes a while to boot up too. I'm not sure about the next part, but I think it goes like this. It will show you a installation screen, and on the top bar, you click utilities and Disk Utility. I don't remember the whole process cause I haven't done it in a while.

Mail, Safari and Software Update won't launch?

My Mail, Safari and Software Update apps don't launch after my last Software Update installed Quicktime 7.0.4 and iTunes 6.0.2. During that update (Jan 12, 06) I got the spinning ball and ended up restarting because nothing was happening...
That's when my apps stopped opening.
This is what Console says when I try:
dyld: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
dyld: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
dyld: /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/MacOS/Software Update truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
So it appears I have a "malformed library", what should I do?
Thanks.

Yes, it looks like something is not right with /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. The message "filesize extends past end of the library" sounds like there might be some corruption of the filesystem, although I certainly could be wrong about this. (The filesystem is the operating system's mechanism for determining where files actually start and stop on the harddrive.)
The first thing to try would be to attempt to repair the filesystem. This can be accomplished by booting of your Panther Install CD and using Disk Utility to do a Repair Disk. There are good instructions for that at Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. See the section on Repair Disk.
If that does not work, I suggest that you try to replace /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. If you have another computer with the same operating system, you could connect via target disk mode and copy over the good folder to replace the bad one. Alternatively, you could do an Archive and Install.

Angry Birds update, but not owned?

My App Store is telling me that I can upgrade Angry Birds to 1.6.2
Problem is, I have never bought Angry Birds for my mac, only for my iPod Touch
The only Angry Birds on my Mac is "Angry Birds 1.6.2.ipa"
When I click update it says: "Log in on (removed)@mail.ru to upgrade the programs on that account". I've never used that email or heard of it.
How can I remove it from my update list?

Read what I actually wrote. I said that the pirated app that you have gotten somewhere for free has been cracked with the MAS receipt from Angry Birds acquired by this other person's Apple ID. The MAS is reading the receipt and notifying that Angry Birds has an update.
Finding a pirated app
All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

Updates won't go away after updating

I have three updates on the App Store which have been downloaded and I have those versions on my computer, but the updates won't go away from the App Store. Aperture 3.1.3 was updated the day it came out, but won't go away. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? Thanks.

I have a similar problem if someone could please help. In my AppStore I show Angry Birds needs an update. I have never purchased Angry Birds nor do I have an illegal copy. When I click on Update, it tries to have me login with the previous owner of my computer's Apple ID. (I don't know him). I have deleted the plist file for the Appstore from my User Preferences Library and that didn't do anything.
This happens whether I am logged in to the app store or not.
Anyone know a way to get rid of this user and this obviously erroneous Update? I have searched all throughout my computer for any files hidden or not and can't find anything. Thanks in advance.
Oh, and I tried unplugging my external hard drive as well and that didn't do anything.

I had a download on my angry birds game and now it does not work just turns screen black and then goes back to normal

my angry birds showed an update so i did, when it finished i cannot play it now, when try to play the welcome screen comes up and then after a few seconds turns black and then the phone returns to normal

I suggest taking it back to Best Buy. Once it has been opened, Apple will not handle the phone. Best Buy or another 3rd party are your only choices. Best Buy probably made an error when replacing the screen. Understand they are not an authorized Apple Service Center.

Updated iPad software last night and did Angry Birds update, now AB won't open. Help?!

When I now click on any of the Angry Birds I updated, it tries to load, but then goes back to my home screen. I have tried restarting and relodading the iPad. What else can I do?
Thanks.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

On my iPod touch 3rd generation, why won't Angry Birds let me in?

So, I tried to play Angry Birds a few weeks ago, once it hit the "Rovio" screen, it booted me out!!! I have tried the "Turn off", but it still won't work, should I update the app?

Yes, I would update if one is availabe. Also see:

I can not control my cursor with the trackpad. It moves randomly. It began after an Angry Birds update. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a late 2011 OS X Lion 10.7.4 that is only 6 months old. For the first 4 months I had no problems, but then about 6 weeks ago I downloaded an Angry Birds update from the Apple App Store, and my problems began. When playing Angry Birds the the new Angry Birds update for the first time the cursor began to jump around, moving on it's own as if someone else was controlling it. After a few moments I became obvious I could not control the cursor with the trackpad. When I placed the tip of my finger gently in the center of the trackpad to try to hold the cursor still it becan switching from the game (desktop) to launchpad and mission control. I then put the computer down so I was not even touching it, walked several feet away and the cursor still moved on it's own.
I've done a lot of research over the last few weeks on related articles and realized this is a common problem with numerous different causes: PRAM settings,
screen sharing, remote settings, having fingers accidently touch edges of trackpad, writst resting too close to trackpad, swollen battery, etc. and I don't think it's due to any of those issues.
The problem came out of nowhere. My computer stays at home, and is not used by anyone else. At first it was just Angry Birds, but now it can happen at any time. Sometimes hours or days go by when this does not happen, sometimes it happens so much I can't use the computer at all. It can get so bad that I won't be able to click out of whatever I'm doing on my desktop, and I'll have to shut it down by holding the power button.
Has anyone else had this issue after updating Angry Birds?

try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

The level after Carnival Upheaval in Angry Birds Rio won't download on my iPad. What can I do? It keeps saying "coming soon" when I go that next page.

The level after Carnival Upheavel in Angry Birds Rio won't download on my iPad. It says it s coming soon on the screen.
Is there something I can do to get it to download?
Thank you for any support you can give me.

That likely means that it doesn't exist yet. It's up to rovio (angry birds maker) to get it to you. Theyll likely have it as an update eventually. Angry Birds is very good at promoting itself.
