Applications bounce on dock but nothing happens!!??
I've Been Trying to use an application called crossover but every time I Open It It Just bounces for ages and does nothing!
Please Help!
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Application bounces in dock but does not launch
When I double-click on a FileMaker file, it used to automatically launch FileMaker Pro 8 Advanced until about a week ago. Now, when I double-click on a FileMaker file, the applcation icon bounces for a fraction of a second in the Dock but does not launch.
If I drag the file to the application, then FileMaker launches.
Other applications are not exhibiting this odd behavior.
How can I fixt it?
G5 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.2)remove (drag out) the filemaker icon from the dock, open finder and locate the filemaker application and drag it back to dock.
If this does not help, the console messages mentioned before might help us more. -
Applications bounce in dock but do not open.
Hi, I'm having problems with applications not opening.
I've posted a few times, but no-one seems to want to help.
Is there anyway I can reinstall OS X without wiping all of my images from aperture, or any way of getting my images from aperture, because this is one of the applications not opening.
Obviously a resolution for the applications not opening would be preferable.
Cheers!hey, thanks for the reply.
I've tried that one and its systemwide...
I have the logs here from when Applications don't open...
Its a log of Aperture, iTunes and iDVD.

Great to have an Apple community with knowledge to help.
Can anyone help with the question above.
Should I just reinstall itunes? If so will I just be able to transfer my music back into the program?
Thnx in advance community,
SatiyaThe icon in the dock is just a pointer (alias) to the application, not the application itself. If that pointer gets confused or broken the app won't open. Right click (control-click) the dock icon, select Options, then select Show in Finder. This should reveal the iTunes application in your Applications folder. Double click the actuall iTunes application and see if it opens. You could also open the Applications folder and see if iTunes is still there.
Let us know what you find. -
I have a mac book pro. Yesterday the mail app failed to open. I have tried to open it from the dock and the application folder but nothing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions to get it to work?
You don't need iDVD unless you are going to make DVDs. If you are just trying to share files, iDVD won't help you at all.
What you want to do is in iMovie, choose File/Share/File, and export that way. It creates an .mp4 file that should be readable on Macs or Windows.
You could also File/Share/YouTube if you don't mind posting them to YouTube, because of course YouTube videos are watchable by any Mac or Windows computer made in the last 10 years. -
I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.
Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it. Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer. Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

I installed creative cloud to my desktop and it won't open. The icon bounces but nothing happens, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I think I screwed it up more. Please help!
Dd7 do you receive any specific error messages? What version of Mac OS are you using?

When I open iPhoto this appears- "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" I have not used iPhoto before on this computer. I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager as suggested but nothing happened. What should I do?
I think the usual advice is to use the Rebuild command in Library Manager.

I tried to sync my iphone4 to my pc (not mac) and the following message went out: I tunescould not back up the iphone because an error occurred I restore my phone but nothing happened. What shall I do? (my ipad is working perfectly when i sync it)
I dont know why this happens.Unfortunately, "because and error occured" doesn't give you much to go on. Some general things I would try if you haven't already:
Use Disk Utility on your mac to repair disk permissions, then reboot and try backing up again.
Use Finder to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/, then control-click on the Backup folder and select Get Info, then check Sharing & Permissions at the bottom and make sure your username has read & write priviledges
Try closing all apps, then reset your phone: double-tap the home button, tap and hold the apps at the bottom until they wiggle, tap the minus sign on all apps to close them. Then reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), and release
Try a different usb to dock connector cable; ensure that your case isn't interfering with a good connection to the dock connector at the bottom of your phone; clean the dock connector at the bottom of your phone (e.g., with a dry toothbrush); troubleshoot your usb connection (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286)
I know this looks like a laundry list, but unfortunately it's hard to isolate the problem without a clear error message. If the problem persists, you might try posting in the iMac or iTunes forums for other ideas. -
I have an IMac desk top. Safari icon is down at the bottom, but nothing happens when I click it. How do I open safari? Was working fine earlier.
You are in the iPad forum.
Open your Applications folder - find Safari in the applications, and double click on the icon in there. You may have a corrupt alias in the dock at the bottom. -
I am trying to install the CC on my Mac because my desktop computer died on me. I logged in, selected photoshop ( or premiere, or after effects) and hit the download button. The site says download in progress but nothing happens. I have downloaded other software ( not adobe) and it worked fine...Any idea what is wrong? I am not a Mac person and I am kind of lost. Thanks!

I am having problems shutting down my MacBook Pro. I go to the apple and click shutdown or restart, it appears the shutdown process starts, the screen goes blue and the little circle keeps going round and round, but nothing happens even after 30 minutes.
Make sure you quit all your applications before shutting down.
And try resetting the SMC.
