You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Apple applications not opening after Messenger update

Opening Messenger last night, a box popped up saying that there was a new version to be installed. Alongside this were ticked boxes for 'security' and another application (which I can't remember now).
I went ahead with this, but since restarting the computer I've been unable to operate my Apple applications such as Safari, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD. Finder and Preview also won't open. When clicked they all just bounce then don't open.
I can still open Explorer which I never normally use and Messenger and the Dashboard. iTunes opens but then doesn't play tracks.
I realise that I may have to reinstall software however I don't want to lose my files in iPhoto though spotlight shows me that they are still there (though they will not open in larger format) and I also wanted to try reassure myself this wasn't me being hacked either!
Have tried to trouble shoot this with manuals but as Preview won't open it's making this impossible. Be really grateful for any advice.
Am a bit new to all this though I suppose the upside is that I now realise what great Apple resources and forums there are out there!
Thanks, Joe
iMac 1.8 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi,
think it's gone beyond that now.
rang apple support and went through the install process (as per last night) but when got to install section of the process, the achive and install option is greyed out and the only option appears to be to erase and install.
as i have photo files that i don't want to lose (my itunes are on my ipod and luckily i backed up my word files) I need to back up data by target disk mode before going ahead.
the applecare man was very sorry that he couldn't help me as i didn't have a second mac handy for this option! am going to have to find a support shop instead now.
i rang again and another guy said that they weren't meant to help non care people, but advised to open in safe mode by holding down shift key but when i did this i got through to a grey screen which started by reading:
'No debugger configured - dumping debug information' before a whole scree of code and ending with 'Panic: We are hanging here...'
All in all doesn't look good. so I'll have to go into the shop. brilliant.
thanks for your help though,
Joe

Is the apple website not opening after installation of mountain lion?

is the apple website not opening after installation of mountain lion? because after i updated from lion, apple's webpage is like not opening from any browser..even from safari..

And other websites work? Do you mean http://apple.com, or a specific page within their website? The main page loads fine for me.

This seems to be most common with lower resolution pictures. You can go into settings > general > accessibility and turn reduce motion motion off and then try to rescale. Or user a higher resolution picture, which works better with the new OS.

HT1338 Aperture will not open after update? What do I do?

Aperture will not open after I updated. What do I do?

Mgoss, quit the installer or App Store/Software Update (depending on what you're using to update) and restart your machine. With Aperture closed, drag the Aperture application to the trash, then reinstall Aperture from your original media and, if necessary, update again.

AS does not open after update

Cannot get adobe story to open after update (indeed there was difficulty before as well; it got worse after update). This applies to both offline and online. Even after a restart. All I get is a big, blank, black page, with no projects on it, not even the sample project. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
christophermark

Thanks, Ali.
I'm working on MacBookPro Intel with Snow Leopard, 10.6.5 using Firefox as
the browser. I have Chrome and Safari, but haven't tried them.
I updated Flash. I find AIR installer and uninstaller in
Applications>Utilities, but I can't find the AIR app anywhere. (So how was I
able to go online with AS in first place?) When I try to unintall AIR (with
the idea of reinstalling) it says that Adobe Story will no longer work
(should I proceed anyway?)
I've cleared the cache in Firefox, restarted AS, but the clearance had no
effect. Still get a blank, black page.
Thanks for trying to figure this out. Any other suggestions?

Bridge will not open after update.

Adobe Updater did its update and now Bridge will not open. The message is:

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

ITunes will not open after updating

Ever since the update to 7.1.1 iTunes will not open.
I get a pop-up window that says iTunes has stopped working.
I have followed Apple's instructions for Vista about uninstalling all Apple products. I have done this 8+ times and I am at a total loss. I am a webmaster and Sr. Sys. Admin for a software company, so it's not like I don't have experience with computer/software issues.
When I look at the Windows application log. I have this error:
Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 7.7.1.11, time stamp
0x4890a5ee, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time
stamp 0x4791a76d, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000254d8,
process id 0xf44, application start time 0x01c8fb2e587a39a9.
This started happening after I updated.
No other issues with any other programs. Quicktime will start up and run.

I hear you. My itunes is fubared and Apple and ALL the articles they send do NO good. I have emailed Apple many times and nothing helps.
Whatever they changed with version 7.1 messed up itunes and you can't go back.
I have emailed Apple asking them if I can delete my itunes directory and any references to itunes and NOT lose my 10K songs. They havent responded to that email and my guess is that it will delete it. But Im not going to risk losing my library until I know for sure !
Im in the same boat you are, I dont want to lose my library either. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOW !!
anyway this is a pain in the *** but itunes(windows) will open this way
UNTIL APPLE FIXES THIS !
1.boot up windows
2.right click on your START button
3.go to C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes (my machine is a Dell with Vista)
4.go to the itunes directory C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC INFO
5.delete BOTH files SC info.sidb AND SC info.sibb
6.launch itunes, it should open, mine did.
7. if you have any purchased songs from the istore, log-in with your user name/password.
THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR ITUNES OPEN, IF YOU CLOSE IT OUT, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS AGAIN. (at least I did)
GOOD LUCK !!

Applications not opening after Yosemite

I downloaded Yosemite about a week and a half ago and I've had nothing but trouble. My adobe applications like Indesign and Dreamweaver will not open, but in the rare instance that they do, they crash about 20 min into working in them. Mail and iTunes won't open saying that there is an error. When trying to change permissions, it says that I do not have access when I am the admin. As of now the only web browser I can use is Safari and even that will crash and not respond. I can't even open the App Store to get the latest update.
Any help?

I have this same issue   I have installed CleanMyMac but after the problem started.

ITunes will not open after update to 11.4

I updated iTunes, along with the other updates I was prompted to install but now my iTunes will not open. At all. No error message or anything. Please someone help?
Thanks.

Hi Cchoe,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with iTunes after an update. It sounds like this issue could be related to third-party software interactions with iTunes. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot:

Word documents located in a sparse bundle will not open after update to Lion

I have several files of Word documents created by Office for Mac 2008. These files are located in two different sparse bundles for security. One sparse bundle is the original. The second sparse bundle is a larger maximum size that I copied the original Word documents into. My plan was to delete the original after I confirmed that the second larger one worked. After updating to Lion, I also uninstalled Office for Mac 2008, and installed Office for Mac 2011. Now when I try to open these Word documents, I get a message saying that Word cannot not open these documents because they may be in use or may have unacceptable symbols in the file name. If I control click on the documents, I can see the document in Preview but still cannot open in Word. In addition, I am able to open Word documents that are on my desktop. I tried moving my folders out of the sparse bundles by copying them to the desktop but this did not work either.
Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

ok i created a hello world app to try a nail down this issue.

Many thanks.

With that one, the only workaround I'm aware of at the moment is to disable your BonJour Service.
Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage".
Expand "Services and Applications"
Open "Services"
Right click on the BOnJour service and select "properties".
In the General tab, change the start-up type to "disabled".
OK out of the tab.
Restart the PC. Does iTunes launch for you now?

I-tunes will not open after update to 11.1.1

App will not open after update from market.

I have an android app that when I publish an update and the user downloads the update the app will not open. It opens for a second and then closes.
This happens even if I do not change anything in the update.
The only thing I can find is that after downloading the update I clear the cache and it works fine. My question is does anyone know why this might happen. Also is there a way to clear the cache at time of update.

ok i created a hello world app to try a nail down this issue.
i created the app with version 1.0.0
uploaded it to my server on the net.

Pre installed application not opened after nokia b...

after updating c6-01 to nokia belle my some preindtalled application like calendar, photo editor, messege reader and new application video editor not opening.what is the use of the phone if these must application is not there, pls help

Hi!
We are still investigating this topic. If you still have issues, you could consider to reset your phone to factory settings (and taking a backup before to not lose your personal content).
What would be helpful for us would also be to know, what other applications you have running on your phone.
Thanks in advance!
