Applications not opening, how do I fix this?

This afternoon several of my applications have stopped opening. They just bounce in the dock a couple of times and then disappear. I have tried extracting the Webkit.framework since that is what it looked like was the problem. No luck there. I just tried to verify disk and this is the error message:
Verifying volume “Megan's hd”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect number of thread records
Checking multi-linked files.
ng Catalog hierarchy.",0)
Invalid directory item count
(It should be 38 instead of 37)
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
0)
Checking volume information.
The volume Megan's hd needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Any ideas? Help!
Thanks

HI oregon and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I have an iBookG4 also and had the same exact thing happen when I used DU to check the drive. I rain Verify, it reported the errors same as yours, I clicked the Repair button but that didn't do the trick, then I remembered something that is a basic rule of thumb. If the drive has 15% or less free drive space, application icons will bounce in the dock but not open the app itself. Check to make sure you have plenty of available space. Open any Finder window. At the bottom of that window you will see free drive space displayed.
Also, DU can't repair the disk from the Disk Utility app in the Applications folder, you have to do that using the system restore disc(s) that came with your iBookG4. I'm pretty sure DU is on the Disc 1. Insert the disc, double click the folder when it mounts on the Desktop. DU should be in there. Run DU from that disc to Verify and hopefully Repair any errors. Free up as much extra drive space as you can.
If DU can't fix the problem, you might consider either DiskWarrior www.alsoft.com or TechToolPro www.micromat.com Either one can fix disk errors. I personally like DW. Between my iBook and PBook, I've yet to have to take one into Apple for repairs of anykind because DW could fix the problem.
Hang in there ...

  • My adobe cloud will not open, how do I fix this?

    I have tied to repair, uninstall and reinstall.  The most I have gotten is the window for the cloud to open showing the program is there but it does not open at all.
    How do I fix this on windows 7?

    no the Adobe cloud window opens..the links for the programs dont work on the Cloud screen.  Its never happened before.  I did find the program and after uninstalling and reinstalling it will come up in programs.  But why it crashed fist of all and then why I had nothing at first, then the cloud window, then the program would go no further.  All the other links work on my desktop. Just not the Adobe.

    I just upgraded to mountain lion osx and now my applications are crossed out and out of date. they will not run. how do i fix this?

    Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar question:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open, modify and save your data files;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

  • I updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do i fix this?

    i updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do I fix this?

    kathieaross,
    click on the Java pane in System Preferences. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the Security tab, and set your Security Level to Medium — that will allow “untrusted” applications (i.e. those without certificates from a trusted authority) to run. Press the Apply button in the lower-right corner to confirm the change, then press the OK button to close the window.
    Apparently your Yahoo! card games don’t have certificates associated with them, which is why the default security setting of Java SE 7 Update 51 didn’t allow them to run.

    You can although did it not also identify a troubleshooting document for you to use?  The package for support option will simply make the installation log available for Adobe employees to review.  If you would like to respond with your token number I would be happy to look at the log file.
    Alternately you can follow the directions listed in Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.  This is exactly the same process which I would use to review your installation log.

  • Slideshow will not export how do i fix this?

    in iphotoslideshow will not export how do i fix this?

    Back in your own account try this:
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto  8.1.2 and later  or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
