Applications will not start up... OS X Snow Leopard

I have tried all the tricks I know. But My Mail application and my Xcode Application refuse to start up. I click the Icon in the dock it sometimes will bounce, but it will never actually run the application on my Mac Book pro. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Launch the Console application and enter "Mail" (without the quotes) in the Filter box. Click the broom icon to clear the display. Try to launch Mail. Do any error messages appear in the Console window?

  • HP TouchSmart application will not start

    We purchased an HP IQ 526 TouchSmart desktop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit machine approximately two months ago. We use Clearwire to connect to the internet. About a month ago the HP TouchSmart applilcation stopped working. It will not start. Every time we try to start it we get the following error message:
    HP TouchSmart Calendar has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Sometimes it says it's the HP TouchSmart Notes has stopped working or one of the other TouchSmart applications. I went to hp.com and updated all of the software for the TouchSmart application and Windows Vista. And I reguarly use Windows Update to ensure my OS is current with Microsoft security updates. I also updated the firmware. After these actions and rebooting many times the application would still not start. At this point I contacted HP customer support. We uninstalled HP TouchSmart, then reinstalled. This didn't work. I continue to see information events in the Windows Application Log almost every minute regarding HPTouchSmartCalendarNotes. They are typically the following messages over and over:
    Reminder clock elapsed event is successfully fired.
    CheckReminder() is executed successfully.
    ShowReminder() is executed successfully.
    After Fetching the XML nodes, checking for each node is done successfully in ShowReminder()
    Events in Events.xml Before Showing Reminder<DataRoot></DataRoot>
    I still have a case open with HP support and they said uinstalling the OS and reinstalling is likely the next step but I have to believe someone else has run into this issue or HP has a QFE for this issue. I really do not want to uninstall the OS and reinstall it. This has become very frustrating as the HP TouchSmart application is the primary reason we purchased the computer so my wife can manage our photos and music collection via the touch screen.
    If anyone has seen this before or has a solution I would love to hear about it. We are considering taking the computer back if we can not resolve this issue.
    On a related note and this might be a separate issue I continuously get HPTCS stopped working messages. I've searched the internet for what HPTCS.exe is and what is does but there is little to no information available.
    Please let me know or if there is additional information I could provide that would be useful for troubleshooting.
    Cheers,
    G

    Our machine was sent back to HP and they reformatted our hard drive and sent it back. Wow. Fantastic service. NOT!!!! I could have done that. Without debugging their own software to figure out why this was happening they reformatted the hard drive. I can only expect this problem will happen again since there must be a software update, etc... that is causing this behavior. I honestly do not know how to voice my disgust in their customer service. I have been a long time fan of HP and we basically only buy HP at work but this was the poorest display of customer service I have ever encountered. If your TouchSmart application stops working and the TouchSmart software updates do not resolve the problem you might as well pretend like you bought a normal computer without touch capabilities. Like buying an iPhone without it behaving like an iPhone.

  • Firefox Application will not start unless in PC Safe Mode

    == Issue
    ==
    I have another kind of problem with Firefox
    == Description
    ==
    A couple of days ago after seemingly working fine the day before Firefox suddenly decided to stop working. I seem to recall updating both my Adobe Flash and my Java on that day, and I'm also not 100% sure that I didn't change my Overclock settings too (but I think I did that and Firefox was still working)
    Basically if I "start" Firefox from any location be it shortcut, direct executable or otherwise the application does not "run" I get the process but that is all. I have tried renaming to various combinations but still nothing appears to have any effect. Using the -profilemanager suffix in my shortcut / startmenu search and creating and using a new Profile has no effect either as does deletion, and Firefox Safe Mode shows the settings window but after choosing to open in safe mode nothing happens and I am left with the Firefox process hanging there doing nothing. I have tried multiple compatibility and administrator run settings but no effect.
    I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Done full cleans deleting everything to do with Firefox and its Profiles. Uninstalled Flash and Java, and then Reinstalling FF. I have scoured the registy deleting anything obviously connected to Firefox, Mozilla and even Java to no effect (I have not cleaned out for Flash due to having multiple Adobe apps which I would prefer not to screw up.) I have downgraded from 3.6.3 to 3.6.2 and as far as 3.5.1 and then doing upgrade to the new 3.6.4. All with the help of my CCleaner to tie off any loose ends, but nothing seems to work. Can't restore pc to earlier date as I only remembered about it after I had already made too many changes.
    The only time I can manage to run Firefox properly at all is when I am in Windows Safe Mode, I am sick of Google Chrome as it feels really slow and I also dislike Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer. I really do not know what else to do and would really appreciate some help so that I may use the only good browser that I have found again.

    Firefox will only open in safe mode and other issues in Firefox 3.6.8
    Rig / Set-up:
    Win 7 (U.S.) / Ultimate 32bit
    • P.O.S. Internet Explorer not installed…
    • Firefox Default Browser
    This Event:
    1. Firefox will immediately close after opening 2 blank (Untitled) tabs and /or 2 (Untitled) windows.
    2. Firefox will not open a 2nd time.
    3. Firefox will only open in Safe-mode (.exe))
    4. Firefox excruciating slow Start-Up
    5. Firefox web –surfing unbearably slow
    6. Firefox unpleasant web page hanging behavior
    7. Firefox awful flash content behavior / Obnoxious Adobe Flash Player has always been and will always be crap.
    The Cause:
    Session Manager = Corruption …!!!
    o This issue was created by faulty and inconsistent and flawed M$ Win 7 legacy software support for Hardware.
     The Keyboard / Hardware would generate a separate session manager event with the action/Web key.
     Firefox and/or TabMixPlus session manger were corrupted in the event process.
    The Source:
    A: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate32-US Version = substandard legacy device handling :
    B: Hardware/Keyboard (shortcut) Customization Software Conflicts causing Corruptions of Firefox-Session Manger.
    The Fix..!!!
    I. Remove from Add and Remove Programs (Win7) Hardware/Keyboard Software “only”. ..Special note: Win 7 Updated- Hardware/Keyboard Device driver does not have to be removed...!!
    II. Clean and remove all Instances of Keyboard software.
    a. The “Best-est and Safest” Registry Cleaner is jv16 2010 Power Tools.
    b. Restart Computer.
    III. “If” available install an older version of your “Hardware/keyboard software” compatible with Win 7 that will allow some customization of Hardware/Keyboard-keys.
    Confirm fix by:
    1. Restart Firefox from Hardware/Keyboard key (shortcut).
    2. Clean-up Internet crap and corrupted session managers...
    3. Test Launch keyboard shortcut of Firefox.exe [“after” a clean-up of all internet crap]…
    4. Test launch keyboard shortcut again / use Firefox extensively or normal use for any recurring bad web behavior.
    If Corruption events occur again:
    i. Use different and / or Older Keyboard “software” with win 7.
    ii. Or you will have to wait for a Win 7 Hardware/Keyboard software update for keyboard installed.
    Note:
    “Do not use the hardware or keyboard shortcut-key for Web Browsing… Or else: // This Event (See Above): …Will Continue..!!!..”
    And it is “not” a Firefox 3.6.8 issue.
    So, look elsewhere.
    Look @ the main culprits:
    a. Substandard legacy device handling: Micro$oft Windows Operating System in combination / with.
    b. Customization Software for your keyboard or other hardware that generates web functions and web sessions. / Hardware driver may not be the problem.
    Add-on:
    Flash Switcher Win / 1.0.2_
    DownThemAll! / 1.1.10__
    Personal Menu / 4.3.2__
    Tab Mix Plus / 0.3.8.4__
    Theme Font Size Changer / 0.2_
    MR Tech Toolkit / 6.0.4__
    Menu Editor / 1.2.6
    It is with hope that this solution may help someone.?

  • In XP Mode on Windows 7, after installing application as like I would normally on an actual XP system, application will not start in windows XP mode itself.

    Just did a clean install of windows 7.  I then downloaded windows XP mode and Windows Virtual Mode.  Everything ran flawlessly and everything is updated.  I needed to Install a program called Dentrix 10.5 which can only be installed on Windows
    XP for numerous reasons and one including it needing to use Microsoft .NET 1.0.  I installed this program on Windows XP Mode as I would as if I were installing it with a computer with windows XP.  The Install of the program went fine and completed.
     Still being in Windows XP Mode I wanted to see how it would run.  I hit Start Menu, All Programs, Startup Programs, and clicked on the Dentrix Application.  Once I clicked it the time glass on the  mouse was there for a few seconds and
    then went away without the application starting up at all.  One thing that I'm thinking is why after I clicked Start Menu, All programs, is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?  Any Ideas how
    to get the program to run?  Like I said, I am trying to run the program in Windows XP Mode and not Windows 7 as I have found many Q's and A's on only how to do that.  Also this is the second application which I downloaded and the first being Microsoft
    Security Essentials so I know I don't have some virus from keeping from opening the Dentrix Application.  Incase you are wondering the Microsoft Security Essentials opens and runs fine in Windows XP Mode.  So Pretty Much My Main question is: Why
    my application not starting up in Windows XP Mode?  Any help is greatly appreciated! 

    Once I clicked it the time glass on the mouse was there for a few seconds and then went away without the application starting up at all.
    A couple times a week I open Dentrix 11.0 in a virtual machine on Windows 7. I experience the same thing almost every time I open the VM. I must first get Windows to "reconnect" my network for me. Do this by opening Start | My Computer, and
    double-click on the mapped network drive leading to the Dentrix data. After I can see the Dentrix data drive, Dentrix will be able to read it too and will open correctly.
    In Dentrix, seeing nothing (or briefly seeing a hourglass and then seeing nothing) is a classic sign that either:
    - The database files are marked as Read Only
    - The program cannot access the data files (probably the folder it is pointed to does not contain any data).
    - Or possibly the database path does not point to the right location where the data files are located
    Open the folder where you installed the program files of Dentrix (probably c:\program files\dentrix\) and double-click to run EP.EXE. The database path will be revealed. You can "Browse" to the correct location, and "OK" through the dialog to
    close them. Then try opening Dentrix again.
    Should that not work, open Start | My Computer, and try to open the path (starting with the drive letter, then the folder structure you saw in EP.EXE).
    By the way, if your path uses UNC (starting with two back-slashes and then the computer name of the server), you'll need to map a network drive and replace your path with a mapped drive path. (Map a drive in Start | My Computer | Tools | Map Network
    Drive). Dentrix really doesn't like UNC paths.
    Dentrix 10.5 can only be installed on Windows XP
    Microsoft .NET 1.0
    Just FYI, Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 is required only for the "Time Clock" feature of Dentrix. Windows 7 already has .NET Framework features up to version 3.5 built in, and Time Clock (in my experience) works great under Windows 7 without installing
    .NET 1.0.
    Have you tried installing directly in Windows 7? I have a specific reason why I don't (I have a newer version of Dentrix installed on my Win 7 machine, and use the VM to go back to an older database occasionally - so I can't mix two different program versions
    on the same machine). If you were to try installing this program under Windows 7 directly, Dentrix will launch the Microsoft .NET Framework install after the Dentrix install is completed. Just cancel out at that point (Windows will probably give you an "incompatibility"
    error message anyway before allowing the install to go through) and I believe you can run it under Windows 7. That might eliminate the networking-through-the-VM issue. So, if you have no other reason not to install Dentrix on your Windows 7 machine directly,
    I'd try it. You might be surprised and if it works, you'd save yourself some headache with connecting the to network through the virual machine.
    Is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?
    During the installation, on the Select Program Folder screen, you must have clicked the "Startup" option under Existing Folders. By default, "Dentrix" will be typed into the box at the top. If you simply clicked Next, it would have gone
    to the correct location. The screen is a little confusing, because something in the list will be highlighted by default, but what is typed into the box at the top will actually be used.

  • CS3-Some applications will not start, including Photoshop

    I have Creative Suite 3 Design Premium running on a new laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1. I bought the laptop and installed CS3 about 3 weeks ago. Everything ran fine for a while but now I am unable to open Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign. I can run Acrobat and Bridge but Illustrator and InDesign do not start at all. Photoshop tries to start, but then disappears before it is fully loaded. I've seen posts where there have been issues with the installation failing to load, but my install went fine. Today I re-installed and repaired with the same result. I have not yet uninstalled and re-installed.
    My laptop has 3.0 GB memory and 230 GB hard drive. Any advice will be appreciated

    Now today I'm finally getting an error message that I hope will get me closer:
    "Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
    I followed http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528&sliceId=2 as far as I could, but when I get to resetting the permissions, the steps shown don't match the dialog boxes I am getting and I don't want to make things worse. So that's where I'm at. If anyone knows of a more accurate list of steps for resetting permissions, please let me know.

  • X11 not starting after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    Hello, sorry if this is trivial stuff for all of you, but I am really having trouble sorting this out; I'd be grateful if anyone can help. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.2), did the Combo update as suggested in www.apple.com, but I cannot get X11 to run since the upgrade (I did re-install X11 from the optional installations, btw). The symptoms are that when I try to run any X11 application (such as xmgrace, gnuplot or xfig), or even if I click directly on the X11 icon in the Utilities folder, the X11 icon keeps jumping in and out of the dock; I reproduce below what shows up in the console. Needless to say that I have read through it, but cannot make any sense of what is reported there. I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem, since all I have done is to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard following the standard procedure. Should I perhaps do a clean install?
    Thanks in advance.

    I believe the easiest way to accomplish this is to first repair your user account permissions
    using the SL install DVD. This won't fix the account, but it will make sure the user data in the
    account has the correct permissions before backing it up for transfer later.
    Mac OS X v10.5 or later: While started from the Leopard Install DVD, a user's home directory permissions can be reset using the "Reset Password" utility.
    I suggest using Carbon Copy Cloner or equivalent to backup and restore your account data.

  • Safari does not start after upgrading to Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I just updated my iMac to Snow Leopard. Everything works fine except for Safari.
    If I open Safari, it says: You cannot use this version of Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3 (translated from Dutch).
    In About my Mac I see that the version of OS X is 10.6.1.
    Software Update says my system is Up to date.
    So I downloaded Safari from the Apple site with Firefox and ran the install.
    The install of Safari says in the Select Target Volume screen: Safari cannot be installed on this Disk. For this update Mac OS X 10.5.8 of higher is needed (translated from Dutch). But I have 10.6.1! Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this without loosing all my settings?
    Thanks in advance!
    Daniel from Amsterdam

    Greetings,
    Don't waste your time downloading Safari from the Apple web site; it won't work, no matter what you do, since it's not for Snow Leopard.
    From what you describe, it sounds like you (or someone else) may have moved Safari from where it belongs, and therefore it wasn't updated when you installed Snow Leopard, which would cause the current version it sees to not run.
    Where, exactly is Safari located on your system? Safari must be at the top level of the /Applications folder; it cannot be anywhere else or it won't work properly when updating the OS.

  • FCP will not open after upgrade to snow leopard

    I ran MacKeeper on my MacPro, then my FCP would not open. Upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, FCP still will not open.
    By the way, I uninstalled MacKeeper, I think.  Need some help PLEASE!!!!!

    It sounds like MacKeeper (it's junk! stay away!) did a number on your computer. Doing a major upgrade to a Mac when it already has problems will just exacerbate those problems.

  • I have a older MacBook I upgraded memory two 3 gb from its original two but it still will not let me update from snow leopard to maverick I have plenty of available ram does anyone know why

    I believe it is running an older version of maverick it is 10.6.8 but it will not let me update any further . I added 3gb of ram to upgrade from the original 2gb it came with but still no updates are being allowed Does anyone have any idea why this is ? I am sure the criteria for the upgrade is available so I don't know why I can not up date it?

    10.6.8 is Snow Leopard.
    Run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    or Mountain Lion:

    The applications that are already open will continue to work fine, albeit a bit slowly, but I can't open anything else.

  • The Apple store will not download Mavericks on my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I Mac

    When attempting a download from the Apple store of Mavericks for free, the process goes no further than the download link.  No further action takes place.  Imac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB ram & 500 GB hard Drive. Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.  FRUSTRATION TO SAY THE LEAST!

    500 GB hard Drive.
    How much HD space do you have left?
    Make sure you meet ALL of Mavericks system requirements.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 will not start

    I've had this problem for several weeks and thought I had it fixed by resetting the Preferences (http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html), however, my DCS6 application will not start again, and it seems to happen when I'm out of my docking station, and working from home.
    Initally, I uninstalled/reinstalled DCS6 twice, and each time it worked, and then stopped working when I got out of the dock.  Then, as I said, I found the documentation to remove the established Preferences.  It worked fine in the office, but will not load again working from home.
    The DW logo comes up on the screen, but hangs there.  It never loads plug-ins or any of the other animations I normally see on the logo screen during a normal launch.  The only way to stop the logo is to open Task Manager, locate Dreamweaver(whatever).exe under the Processes Tab and End Task.  Dreamweaver is not listed in the Applications Tab.
    Fortunately, Dreamweaver CS5.5 wasn't automatically deleted when I installed the new software, and it works fine, so at least I can get my work done.
    i need some help with this, please.
    Thank you.
    Frank

    So I take it that you have also cleared the registry entries as suggested in the document linked in your first post.
    So we now need to prove that your Windows Profile isn't the culprit to make DW un-startable.  To prove this, create a new user account  on your machine (temporary or otherwise).  To do this follow these instructions:
    To create a user account
    To open User Accounts, click the Start button , click Control Panel, click User Accounts and Family Safety, and then click User Accounts.
      Click Manage another account. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
      Click Create a new account.
      Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type, and then click Create Account.
    Please post back if this worked or not.  If it worked then you may want to use this account for your DW work otherwise we need to find some other solution.  Make sure the account is Limited if you plan to use for everyday work because creating an Administrator account is not advisable.
    Good luck this time.

  • Aperture will not start anymore

    I bought and installed Aperture 3 over the App Store.
    Initial install and running the program was no problem.
    Upon launch now, the application will not start, reporting that "Aperture cannot be opened due to a problem". 
    The message also says I may need to re-install the software. Well how?
    I think this started to happen after I got my iPad2 and selected to sync photos from Aperture, but I am not sure about that.
    Even a reboot and with no other started applications, Aperture will not open.
    I am running a Mac Mini Server (I bought it new in december 2010 in the Apple Store), running OS X server 10.6.7
    Regards, Henrik

    Problem I'm Getting is:
    Dyld Error Message:
      Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
      Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
      Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
              /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
    No expert but from what I can tell theres some sort of bug or something in the PluginManager File as all the files appear to be there. Possible?
    Cheers.
