Applications not launching after 10.5 upgrade

I recently installed 10.5, and immediately upgraded to 10.5.2 on 4 different machines.
I use the .mac Backup application on one of the machines. After the upgrade it will not properly launch. It appears to launch but all of the menus are grayed out (posted this in .mac Backup forum already but no fixes yet).
I have Apple Remote Desktop installed on two other machines. On one of the two machines, ARD appears to launch, but the menus are all grayed out, the other machine is fine.
Any suggestions?

Is your data on that machine backed up? If not, follow the steps here*:

If it is, follow the steps here to repair the directory and permissions*:

If it does not work to solve the problem find out from someone on the Apple Remote Desktop forum how to remove all the Apple Remote Desktop supporting files from your system, and then reinstall it from scratch.

ITunes will not launch after upgrade--click, bounce bounce, nada

iTunes will not launch after upgrade--rebooted nothing--2 bounce icon
then shut down all and unplugged, restarted--no change, iTunes still will not launch after upgrade
iTunes current version
on imac w/10.6.8

I have the same issue.
Allready uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but the same problem occurs.
Icon keeps bouncing, and all that's visible is the first menu-item in the top menu bar, named iTunes. Nothing is clickable though.
The iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't seem to work either, it crashes on uploading an app to my iPhone. I guess it's using some of iTunes' libs or something.
Does anyone know how to get iTunes working again? I'm getting pretty desperate over here...
Thanks!

Lync mobile app will not launch after upgrade to lollipop on HTC One (M8)

Lync mobile app will not launch after upgrade to lollipop on HTC One (M8). Is this a known issue or is a fix available?

Hi THGutz,
Did you install the latest version of Lync for Android ?
The current version of Lync for Android is
5.5.3.8935.
I don’t test it on M8, but on other Android 5.0 devices it works fine.
Best regards,
Eric

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks for the ideas!

Aperture (2.1.2) will not launch after 10.5.6 installed

Quite possibly this problem happened because of something else I did. However I just now noticed today that Aperture will not launch after I installed 10.5.6 last week. This is the first time I tried Aperture since I updated.
Help! This is VERY important to me as I do all of my photo ediing these days with Aperture. I have a couple of thosand photos waiting .
Is it possible to download a new copy of Aperture? Yes, I am a registered owner and first paid the full $300 for this app.
Any and all help most appreciated.

try going through the application maintenance steps. You mentioned that you ran repair permissions prior to installation, this needs to be run AFTER any application install. As it could be any number of things causing the issue I have listed in sequence some steps to take for trouble shooting/maintenance.
1. Repair permissions on system drive and drive with application on it.
2. Verify and repair the disk with the library on it. If on your system disk run verify to see if it needs repair.
3. Remove the application preferences found here:
system disk/users/users/library/preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
•test application
4. CMD+OPT when clicking on the Aperture icon to launch it and choose consistency check
•test application
5. CMD+OPT and choose rebuild library
•test application
6. Remove any installed plug-ins from following directories
system disk/users/users/library/application support/aperture/plugins/
system disk/library/application support/aperture/plugins/
•test application
7. Hold the Option key down and launch Aperture and see if you get the option to create new library or choose library, try both of these steps.

TS1717 My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.

Any help here:

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Mail not launching after font update

Mail will not launch after recent font update, how can I reinstall Mail or repair it?

Have you tried repairing permissions? Are you using a font activation program? If so maybe try turning fonts off in groups until you can get mail to launch and try to narrow it down to a bad/corrupt font?

ArtRage demo will not launch after upgrade to OS10.9.5.

Gives crashed thread 11, problem with fonts. I cleaned up the Font Book which had a few duplicates. Cleared the Font Cache. In safemode ArtRage demo will still not launch. Worked fine before the 10.9.5 upgrade. Is this a known problem with 10.9.5? How do I identify if a particular font is causing this issue? Other apps seem to be running fine. Anyone else have this issue?

The problem only seems to be with stub applications used to start Java applications wrapped in a Mac OS X application package. All Java applications I have tried starting from the command line and using Java Web Start have launched and run without trouble. For example, the SmartCVS application package includes a stub application launcher in:
/Applications/SmartCVS/SmartCVS.app/Contents/MacOS
This application stub is named JavaApplicationStub, the command name reported in the previously posted crash log excerpt. It is this application that fails. However, I am able to successfully launch and run the SmartCVS application with the following command line:
( cd /Applications/SmartCVS/SmartCVS.app/Contents/Resources/Java ; java -cp help.jar:tools.jar -jar smartcvs.jar )
Note: This is more conveniently done from a shell script containing the following:
#!/bin/sh
cd /Applications/SmartCVS/SmartCVS.app/Contents/Resources/Java
java -cp help.jar:tools.jar -jar smartcvs.jar 2>&1 >> /dev/console &
The line beginning with "#" must be the first line in the script file beginning at the first character of the file.
Again, the problem is not restricted to SmartCVS. It also occurs with an in-house application with a stub generated by InstallAnywhere 5.5 Now. While the "Now" version is no longer available, the rest of the InstallAnywhere product line is now available from:
