Apple Configurator won't open.

I am teacher using a class set of iPads for the first time. I had hoped to use Apple Configurator to sync iPads and manage everything.
When I first tried, I got the message during the Prepare stage that the Apple ID wasn't authorized. I authorized the MacBook Pro OSX I am using to use the Apple ID I wanted so that worked. Then, I got the error message during the Supervise stage that it cannot install app. I never figured out which one after some trial and error.
But, NOW Apple Configurator won't open - it says the file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format. How can I totally get rid of a file and start again?
I've tried moving to the trash, emptying the trash and then reinstalling. I've tried restarting my computer. I've tried using both of my iTunes accounts to get it from the App Store and every time I try to open it, the same error message comes up. Is there some temporary or other file that I need to get it out of in order to start new?
Thanks for your help.

You can try completely deleting your configurator data folder. This should reset the app to a clean state, but you will lose all device and user data.
For Configurator 1.2 or later, delete the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator
For Configurator 1.1 or previous, delete the folder ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator.

HT200261 Configurator Error. Apple Configurator could not open your library.The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format.

I was using configurator without trouble. Unfortunately, my battery died and my computer went down. I plugged my computer in, restarted it and tried to open configurator. Now this is the error I am getting. Apple Configurator could not open your library.The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format. How do I fix this?

Thank you for responding. The number 2 after the file final cut events is temporary so I can copy it to another drive while I am working on this. . i got a new message that reads...

Recover redemption codes/Apple configurator could not open your library

Hi,
I closed Apple Configurator down when a couple of iPads weren't responding and not unsupervising as they were supposed to. When I started it back up it said "Apple Configurator could not open your library. The file couldn't be opened.' I've tried restarting, updating, and searching google for a fix.
I did come across this: Re: Apple Configurator 1.2 "The file couldn't be opened", but when I went to search for ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator, it turned out that the directory doesn't even exist.
I don't have Time Machine enabled on this macbook, and we have a number of redemption codes at risk of being lost here as everything is saved in that configuration.
Alternatively could someone please advise if/how it's possible to use the redemption codes we had purchased again - if we were to start again with a brand new installation of AC?
I would greatly appreciate some support with this issue.
Many thanks,
Martin

This has happened to me a few times and in each instance it has been solved by going to the computer and toggling sharing on and off. If this alone doesn't solve your problem try rebooting the computer and then the ATV.
The error message, suggesting that you make sure your computer and ATV are on the same network isn't likely to be helpful, especially if your ATV and computer are both connected via Ethernet. Most likely your ATV just isn't able to get a share connection from the computer and the above should solve that problem.

Apple Configurator could not open your library

Hello all,
I am having an issue with apple configurator. It froze up while I was running app and iOS updates on an iPad and I had to Force Quit Configurator. When i tried to reopen i got the error that says "Apple Configurator could not open your library. The file couldn't be opened."
My latest backup of this computer is a bit old so I am trying not to have to restore this computer with that backup and have to backtrack a bunch. Anyone have any ideas on how to get the library back or restore it without having to fully restore from a backup of the computer.
thanks

I've had the same error appear as well and have managed to fix it.
Inside the /Users/Shared/SC Info folder is a file named "SC Info.sidb". Both the file and the folder are hidden so you'll have to remove it using Terminal.
rm /Users/Shared/SC\ Info/SC\ Info.sidb
Delete this file and it will work again.

Programs keep not responding, computer freezes often, apple mail won't open

Starting yesterday my computer has been running very slowly. it takes almost 15 minutes to start up and then programs won't open or will quit unexpectedly or not respond. Not to mention that my computer freezes every 30 seconds or so. I have 4gb of crucial ram that system diagnostics say is ok. i don't know what is wrong.

Have you tried opening Mail from the Applications folder. The Dock alias may be corrupt.
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Basic Apple applications won't open on Mac Pro after Mavericks upgrade

Hi,
I'm having issues opening a number of basic applications including Quicktime and Itunes
Through the App store I have updated everything, the last one I was holding out on was updating Itunes. I did that last night and now today Itunes won't open.
I click the image in the dock, the icon briefly bounces upward and then after bouncing down does not open or display any kind of error message.
I am running a 2008 Mac Pro w/ 2x2.8ghz quad-core, 10gb of RAM, these issues began after updating to Mavericks.
Many other apps including FCPX, Adobe Premiere CC, VLC, App Store, are all working fine.
It seems to be an issue with just basic Apple software - please help!

Thanks for the suggestions... tried changing resolution and that had no effect, and I've checked my Perian and DivX installations in System Preferences and both say they are completely up to date. I upgraded Quicktime today to 7.5 before all of this became a problem -- but I don't know how to upgrade iLife. In Software Update everything is completely up to date (eg each of the iLife apps).
Oh well, iMovie is not very useful to me anyway -- just somehow annoying that it fails to work. No point flogging a dead horse!!
Any other ideas gratefully received... many thanks in advance

Apple Configurator Could not Open

Hi,
We can not open Apple Configurator on one of our Macbook.
When tried, this error message pop up The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.mdk.fairplay.error error -42110

Would anyone know the fix for this?

Apple store won't open on iPad?

Since I had the new software update my apple store won't load.

Try quitting the App Store completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that didn't work, try this. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You can also try rebooting your router. That may help. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Apple Address Won't Open

On my iMac G5, my Apple Address Book won't open. It has been working perfectly and I've never had a problem since buying the computer about a year ago. Though the name appears on the top menu bar and the triangle shows beneath the Address Book icon on the Dock, nothing appears on the screen. I ran the Disk Utility Repair Permissions, but aht didn't correct it. I've rebooted and that didn't solve the issue either. Any suggestions? Thanks.

iCloud is already first in Inbox.

Apple Software won't open now (Safari, Mail, Dashboard)

I downloaded iTunes and Quicktime updates yesterday. I went to open Apple Mail, and it opened all my previously opened messages, and then automatically closed. Safari did the same thing. It opened, briefly, but then automatically closed. Both apps told me an error occurred and asked if I wanted to Close or Reopen. Reopen just duplicated the problem.
This morning I went to Dashboard, and one by one, all my open dashboard items game me an error. Now when I switch to dashboard, my board is empty.
I used Disk Tools to repair permissions and restarted. No change.
I have a second internal drive with 10.4.9 on it so I restarted off that drive. My intention was to run first aid, but first I wanted to update to the same os version, so did a software update to get it to 10.4.10. It updated the security patch OK, but the 10.4.10 update gave me an error and said it could not be installed. I tried it again. Same error. I then tried to restart, and that system, which was VERY clean system, now doesn't even start up. I had to startup off of a CD to get back to my original system, which, still won't let me open Safari or Apple Mail.
Please help!! Thank you!

Nice thought! But alas I have 18 gig available on my primary 140 gig internal drive. I should also note that the applications also have problems under my other user accounts. However all users share the same applications folder. I tried copying just Safari app to user applications folder, but it still crashes. I checked the console log and both safari and mail are indicating crash on Thread 0. Safari crash reporter log shows;

Apple Configurator won't install a purchased VPP app

Apple programs won't open in mavericks

So after updating to mavericks after it was released, I am experiencing the same problem over and over. Everything will run and open fine for a while. After a week or a few days, Apple programs will stop opening. (app store, Preview, Facetime, Safari.) I have reinstalled mavericks at least 5 times by restarting in safe mode. The problem will be fixed for a while, (few days, maybe a week) and then the same issue comes back. The only thing that fixes it is a reinstall. I have seen similar post on other forums about the same issue, but have yet to find a solution. Anyone know if there is one? I am using a mid 2012 macbook pro.

I can't give any help as I also have issues that come and go. That is why I'm sticking with ML for now and run Mavericks on external SSD as a test drive until I see all these issues go away. I see very few benefits to the Mavericks OS at this point.

Apple mail won't open even though the amount of new mail is shown in top right corner of application?

I click to open the mail application but it never opens. After waiting a few minutes the amount of notifications I have is shown on the icon but it still won't open. Mail worked fine on my mac until I updated to Mavericks. Please help!! I've already tried restarting and I also tried deleting my mail account off of mail and then adding it back but it still doesn't work. I never made a backup so I can't go back to a previous version and I can't try a clean install.

I'm having almost the same trouble, and yes I did update to Safari 4 while I was still in Leopard 10.5.7. Now, in 10.6.1 my Mail app is suddenly getting this exception in the console log when trying to send via SMTP (to a server that the "connection doctor" validates as OK"):
