Applications not launching

All of a sudden iPhoto will no longer launch at all, and Photoshop and Illustrator frequently won't launch. I've repaired permissions, thrown away preferences and taken out the bezelservices files. Immediately after doing all this, I can usually launch Photoshop and Illustrator, but not iPhoto, and the next day after starting up nothing works again. (In particular, removing bezelservices enables Illustrator to launch right away, but again the problem comes back.) iPhoto just gets one little triangle on the menu bar and stops. The others start up and then freeze somewhere during the initializing. Any suggestions? This is making us nuts!
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Have you also tried repairing the hard drive and permissions? Well worth trying. I would also suggest you might download the shareware program TinkerTool System and use it to remove the user and system caches, font caches, old log archives, etc. and also run the maintenance scripts to clean up log files.
Try booting into Safe Mode by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the SHIFT key until the gray startup screen appears with the dark gray Apple logo. Release as soon as the spinning gear appears. The login window will appear and you should see the words "Safe Mode." If your problems cease in safe mode that generally means a cache, third-party font, or third-party startupitem is at fault.
If you create a new user account and log into that account and the problem ceases, then that usually means a bad Login Item or bad preference file(s).

Adobe Air Applications Not launching. Flash Builder 4.5.1

I had this issue before where only flash based applications would launch but not adobe air. The issue is when you click run on adobe air, in the task manager on windows 7, 64 bit you get: Adobe Air Debug Launcher. Killing that gives me: If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run.
The program never launches hence why you have to kill it in the task manager.
I tried cleaning out the PreloadSWF entry in the mmc.cfg file. This does nothing to help the cause.
Ideas?

Please read the OP on the stale pale loader. I already took out the line in mm.cfg and I set vsible to true (never had to before on any air application Oo)
Tests:
The setting to visible to true though worked..... (again with never had to set that before)

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*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
If it is, follow the steps here to repair the directory and permissions*:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
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.

Application Not Launching from Desktop Icon

With every new release our jars change from say jarA-release1.jar to jarA-release2.jar etc. We don't use any version based JNLP download, hence the new jars are downloaded based on the last modified date. When we move from release 1 to release 2, customers launch the application from Desktop icon and get the new jars downloaded. But when they logout and try to launch the application again from desktop, it fails because the desktop icon still references the old cache. Any suggestions please?

Application not launching using webstart

Hi,
I have a fairly large sized application written in java. While developing I did not give a thought that this might get deployed using JWS. Iam now trying to get this application launched using JWS but it doesn't. The farthest I have got is JWS downloads the application and supporting jars and starts executing my code. But abruptly it stops without any exception and no windows appear. The few lines pertain to the loading some resources for menu items. How can I find out where it is going wrong. I had earlier removed log statements from my code since I read that the properties file cannot be loaded without additional software.
ANy help is appreciated.
cheers,
vidyut

App-v 5.0 SP2 Client UI Virtual Application not launching

Hi there,
Currently we're upgrading to APP-V 5.0 SP2 (HF5). I downloaded the official APP-V Client UI from the Microsoft site. The Hotfix and App-V 5.0 SP2 installed succesfully, I even got Office 2013 to work with the new App-V Client.
The problem I have is that the APP-V Client UI is published to a user and when I launch the application the Process is started, I can see that in the taskmanager but there doesn't appear a user interface. It only worked once for me.
I've tried this on a few different machines, also removed user profile (local and network), but still the appvclientux process is starting but no UI is showing.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this "bug".
Thanks!

Applications not launching in dock or otherwise

Random programs bounce once in the dock and don't open. Mail, Safari, iChat, and several 3rd party apps are affected. iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Microsoft Office, Final Cut, Photoshop and others are not affected. When I try and open the program from the applications folder, nothing happens.
I tried logging in as a new user, disk utility and repairing the disk from another boot drive and nothing has helped. I also trashed preferences and even reinstalled one of the 3rd party apps and still no change. I was working away normally last night and this just happened. I had not just installed anything, in fact I had just used several of the programs and all of a sudden they wouldn't open anymore.
I'm not sure if it only affects programs that are on my dock as I haven't had time to try and open every program I have, but could that possibly be the source, something with the dock? Any help is most appreciated.

Try this:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but longer in Leopard.

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Java application not launching

Greetings all.
Ununderstandably, I am stuck with the following problem at start up:
I have reinstalled "JavaForMacOSX10.5Update10", with no success.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Thank you.

Greetings Paul,
Nothing shows at that pic link.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

App Store will not launch with Mavericks

just upgraded to Mavricks and App Store and the Messages application not launch from Launchpad. Appstore also does not launch from the apple menu.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Application not working..grays out;finder wont launch 1712 error;

I was trying to transfer photos from my dell to my mac. i successfully transferred one file. when I copied another photo file into the same cruzer..the mac did not "see" that file (although it showed up on the dell). when i removed the cruzer from the mac..the application logo at bottom was grayed out and would not respond. Then the finder says..will not launch ..error 1712 ..THen the macbook will not shut down..only if if remove the battery. When i reinstall the battery..the startup desktop is grayed out and then looks like it is installing something at the bottom...screen is bright again, but same problem.
how do I fix this??
Thanks..
Joanne

i have not received a reply to this question. However , I went to the Genius bar today and this is how everything was fixed:
Go to "spotlight" and type in the word activity.
A list will show up and click on each to quit each one.
After this was done..all worked just fine.
Also...rather than removing the battery if the mac will not shut down..just hold down the power on button and it should power off . When the battery is removed that computer thinks it hads "died" and it will put the computer into a gray save type mode. So avoid this by holding the power button down,
Hope this helps someone???

HT1941 Hi i have recently updated my version of iTunes in order to sync music from my macbook air to my new ipod shuffle. After a successful installation the application does not launch and I am unable to oepn iTunes of access my music! Someone please hel

Hi,
I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
Does anyone have any other resolutions?
Many thanks

Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?
Thanks

BSP Application does not launch in SAP R/3 4.7

Hi Experts,
We are trying to create a BSP application in SAP R/3 4.7. We are using the MVC architecture for the same. However, we are failing to launch the BSP pages. When the URL is launced either from SAP or directly in IE, the password prompt appears, after entering the user name and password it reappears again for 3 times and then throws a message invalid user name or password. This happens for all User Names. The passwords are correct though.
We have similar BSP Application in our SAP CRM 4.0 box and it works. I do not have much expertise in BSP, thus would want to know whether there are any BASIS settings that could be required in the system before we proceed. How do we know whether the system is compatible to BSP applications. We have even activated the BSP Application in SICF (Default_host -> SAP -> BC -> BSP -> SAP -> <BSP Application Name>). The current Support Pack version on the system are as follows,
SAP_BASIS Release 620 SAPKB62065; SAP_ABA Release 620 SAPKA62065.
Even if we try to launch the standard example BSP applications in the box, even they do not launch. The same problem appears. Do we need to make changes to User Roles level? All these user IDs have SAP ALL access though.
Please let me know how can I sort this out. Also let me know if you would need any further details.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Subhrangsu

Hi Subbie,
in transaction SICF navigate to the service default_host->sap->public->ping. Right-click and select "Test Service". If this works then the BSP runtime is working okay.
Then navigate to the service sap->bc->bsp->sap->sbspext_htmlb and try the same there. On this service you will need to enter a username and password.
If all this works then you need to look clser at what you are doing.
Cheers
Graham Robbo

CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it. I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps). So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens. What next?
