Applications do not open on the iMac
I am rather disappointed with the new iMac with the much vaunted Intel processor. Among other things it is slow and more to the point, buggy.
After it has been up and running for some time and especially if it has been left idle for a while, many non-Apple programmes will not open. Today, I left the machine on, went away for about an hour. when I came back, I was unable to open a backgammon application. Many times, Entourage or other Microsoft programmes won't open. The solution is to re-boot and then all is well. However, the computer is very slow to re-boot. Apple 'iprogrammes' such as iWeb are pretty slow to open up.
This new machine is not fast. My Powerbook on 10.4.8 runs faster in just about every respect. By the way I have already done an archive and re-install; I run regular Unix clean up programmes and have also run it through Onyx.
The most I can award this computer is a meagre five out of ten. Not awfully impressed.
Any thoughts out there.

Hello David,
You have posted in the G4 Flat Panel iMac forums. You will, I am sure, get more help if you post the question in here...
Intel Macs
Having little knowledge of these machines and their habits - I suggest you post there.
Maybe some one here knows more?....

Just transferred data to iMac from working Mac Pro that is using Parallels and Windows 7 and the Biblesoft 5 and it will not open on the iMac the only change is the new Maverick OS from the macpro Lion OS. Any ideas?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

Applications will not open on iMac
How to fix applications that will not open on an iMac?
None of the apps will open. If I attempt to open an app, the icon bounces up and down in the dock and then stops. I have to restart the computer and it will work for a short period of time and then the same problem occurs when I try to open a different app.

I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it. I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open. Can anyone help?
The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

My hard drive crashed on my Mac Book Pro and I just had it replaced yesterday. After restoring my data, Safari will not open. The error message I continue to receive is "Safari quit unexpectedly" Should I just delete the application and download a new one?

I recently upgraded from an iPad 1 to an Air. One of its main uses is to avoid printing volumes of papers for meetings, so the abilty to open attachments with mail is pretty important.
There are some attachments that will not open in the mail application on an iPad Air. Some in the same format do (docx). They do open in Mail on my MacBook, and iPad1, or if I go to webmail on any device including a Blackberry, so it is not a file corruption problem. The problem persists on different networks. Other emails from the same sender do work. It seems to be specifically related to IOS 7 or the Mail app. Quickview won't work, nor will opening with a range of Apps which report a file error.
There was an historical problem with Apple garbling pdf files, but this is a new one on me.
All this is a shame because it is opening emails in attachments that was one of my main reasons for buying an Air.
Does anyone know of the cause? A solution?What about a work-around?
Ios 7.1 etc. has a problem with communicating with exchange. There are lots of reports of problems with pdf files.
The work-arounds mentioned here may be of assistnace.

Download a free app and try again, you can delete the free app afterward.

Some applications are not opening, including Mail and Word. Clicking on the icon stirs it on the dock, but will not open it. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Ok, that's plenty of space.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions. -
I recently had my account expire, and need to utilize the trial to finish a project. Even though my account says 'free trial' the applications will not open. How do I get the APP to recognize that I'm in trial and not expired?
I had a year long CC membership that expired at the beginning of the October.
After realizing that, I attempted to start a free trial of photoshop to work on a project. My Adobe account states that i'm on a trial, but my (Mac) dashboard CC app won't allow me to start the program. I have reinstalled both Creative Cloud and Photoshop CC but still get this message. -
Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed" Why now since I updated Mavericks?
The format in which a developer has to sign his application in order for it to be recognized as signed has changed. Update the applications, wherever possible.
To make a one-time exception to the security policy, follow these instructions. They apply to Installer packages and other installable items as well as applications. -
I cannot get my Acrobat Pro to open. I already uninstalled it and re installed it. But still does not open. The program pops to ask for permission to open the program, but it never actually opens. I trouble shoot it and it says incompatible application.
It sounds like an issue of trying to run XI on VISTA. That combination does not work. Info on both the Acrobat full version (including sub-version) and OS would help. It might also be an issue of running 11.0.0 on a system that needs the updates to work.

I successfully installed Adobe Digital Edition but the application will not open
I installed Adobe Digital Edition for Windows on a Windows 7 PC. It successfully installed, but the application will not open. I double click on the icon and it gives the borders, but never opens. I have waited 30 minutes and still nothing.
It is on Windows 8.

Just purchased Imac running Lion - doc. and cwk. extensions will not open . whats the fix?
just purchased Imac running Lion - doc. and cwk. extensions will not open. whats the fix?
Pages 4.3 is the most recent, but no matter. If Pages cannot open it, there are many other programs that may be able to. Some of them are free.
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
OpenOffice (completely free)
Try TextEdit also. It is included in OS X.
If you are trying to open the document by double-clicking it, don't, since the Finder may be looking for a program that is no longer installed. Use Pages' File > Open... menu. The same recommendation applies to using any of the above alternatives - use their File > Open menu.
The least attractive alternative is to purchase Microsoft Word, but I have been completely Microsoft-free since updating to Lion.
