Applications won't launch when a file from Finder or Dock is opened

With Snow Leopard i'm experiencing the following problem:
After a while of operating, if an application isn't launched and i open a file of that app from the Finder or the Dock, the app's blue indicator blinks for a very long time and when it's finally open the app freezes. only option is to force quit the app.
But i can in fact open the file, if i open the app first and then select the file with the open dialog.
This happenes with every application: +Archive Utility.app, TextEdit.app, Preview.app+ and non-Apple apps.
When i reboot, the problem is gone for about an hour.
Any solutions?

Rebuilding the launch services database sounds like a good thing to try - except on Snow, the directory LaunchServices.framework doesn't exist in the place that that link points to.
Its now in /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister according to [Tuaw|http://www.tuaw.com/2009/06/11/terminal-tips-rebuild-your-launch-services -database-to-clean-up>
I've just rebuilt - I'll post in a few hours if it worked.....

  • CC desktop application won't launch, can't download from site

    I am a new CC member. I downloaded the application yesterday - it shows on my (Windows) desktop, but nothing happens when I click it. I tried logging into the Adobe website, but when I attempt to download an application, nothing happens again. I've tried two different browsers, and emptied my browser history. Help!

    I'm having this issue too. Did you figure anything out?

  • Application won't launch when selected

    I don't know if any of you play a game called RuneScape, if you do I apologize that you play it too. Haha. Long story short, I started playing a couple weeks ago and have to use the game client, which is pretty much just an application. When I clicked on the application it would open it's on disk drive and such. I try to open it today, nothing. Doesn't bounce, doesn't load, if I click it two times fast I get that god awful denial ding. I'm thinking it may be a Java issue but I'm not sure, is there anyone out there that an help?
    Please and Thank you!

  • Non-Apple applications won't launch

    On Intel iMac, recently many non-Apple applications won't launch, including Photoshop, Indesign, Quicken, Filemaker, Techtool Pro. On the other hand, Mail, Safari, iPhoto, iTunes, Pixadex, Ultralingua all launch just fine. The non-launchers quickly present the window with Ignore, Report..., Relaunch; and using Relaunch just brings the window up again.
    I've tried Disk Utility, both from the drive and from the OSX install disk; Time Machine back to just before the problem started; removed .plist file from Preferences: all to no avail.
    While this problem started one week ago, we have had a new iPhone 3G since July 12 (since I see a few discussions with the same error codes related to iPhone).
    Below are the error reports for Photoshop and Filemaker, and some system info.
    What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

    No idea what caused it, but your PPC emulator is definitely hosed and doing a clean installation would probably be less time consuming than figuring out what the problem is.
    This is also all very old software that was never meant to run in Leopard at all, so you should consider the possibility that some of it will simply never work.

  • Sound Buzz when transferring file from Trash to desktop

    I get the occasional Sound Buzz when transferring file from Trash to desktop
    Its a Short "grounding" buzz similar to slowly plugging an electric guitar when the amp is on, but its loud !
    I am just using the internal sound,

    Brett - thanks for that input, but as stated in my original post this happens whether I do the copy within Finder, or from inside Bridge.
    Your note did inspire me to try one thing though: I UN-checked my Bridge preference to export caches to folders when possible, then I went to the folder I was trying to move (on the NAS) and did Tools > Cache > Purge Cache. I found that if the folder contained only files and no other folders, then I could move the folder to my desktop. However, if the folder in question had nested folders, then I still run into the same conflict.
    Question: since this conflict does not happen when moving a folder from one computer to another computer (but only from the NAS to a computer), I'm not sure how your logic holds when you say "Bridge is trying to cache the files you are moving and creates a ".BridgeCacheT" file before the remote version is copied"
    To answer your other question, we use AFP or at least is says "afp://server.local" when we connect. My apologies for not being an expert on this. The icon of the NAS on the desktop looks like the icons for the other computers.
    Thanks, I'm still trying to solve this. It's really become a major problem for us as we now have to drag files individually (rather than by folder) when we want to do something with them. -- Jim

  • When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

    When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

    How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
    When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
    When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
    You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
    I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
    ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

  • Unable to open files from Finder

    I just bought my Macbook Pro yesterday.  This is my first Mac so bear with me.  I bought and installed Office for Mac.  The problem is that I cannot open files directly from Finder or the folder stack on my Dock.  If I trt to open a Word or Excel file from there i get this message:
         Microsoft Excel cannot be opened because of a problem.  Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft Excel works with this version of Mac OS X.  You may need to reinstall the application...............
    I have already reinstalled the program (Now I have duplicate icons in Launcher). 
    The only way to open a file seems to be to open the program and then open the file from within the program.  I have already set the "Open With" preferences and this does not seem to help.  If Word/Excel is running, I can double click a file from the stack and it opens with no problem. 
    Any ideas???

    I fixed the problem.  Stupid me forgot to check for software updates when I installed Office.  Seems the most recent updates have fixed this problem. 

  • Can No Longer Drag JPG files From Finder Directly Into .fla Stage?

    For the past six months I have been following a manual process to convert JPG files (exported from InDesign) into SWF files for display advertising assets. 
    Using pre-built FLA files as templates (configured with clicktags):
    Open FLA templates (3 separate files for 3 IAB ad sizes)
    Drag JPG from Finder directly into stage of FLA file, aligned to
    Publish to output folder for renaming
    Today, for no apparent reason, I can no longer drag anything into the stage of any FLA file.  Not just the pre-built templates.  Nothing will drag & drop into an FLA stage. 
    What I have tried:
    Restarted Mac
    Reset Flash preferences
    What I know I can still do:
    Drag files from Finder into the Library, and drag into FLA stage from there
    "File > Import to Stage..."
    This works but because of my naming convention it prompts to import them all each time because Flash sees the sequence
    This is not another step I am willing to contend with for my manual workflow
    Me and my creative team need to process hundreds of assets like this each week, so I'm very anxious to discover why functionality that was working, suddenly stopped.
    Running:
    MacBookPro Retina OS X 10.8.5
    Flash CS6 v. 12.0.2.529

    just want to add my annoyance to the pile here. I can't see any logic behind removing the drag and drop function, especially when adding a new folder is now a multi-step process that is far from obvious. to start a new playlist with local folder content you now need to:enter settingsclick into advanced settings (basically all settings now seem to be "advanced"?)manually find and add the foldergo through the adventure of finding the files in your library.
    -- because they may or may not be listed under "local files" - you won't know because Ctrl+F is also removed. so you have to remember/know what the album you added is called and search for that. if you have a mixed bag of file names from various albums, you're basically shafted; there's no way to find them all with a single search.then you can add them to playlisteta: but wait! there's more! if you have more than 15 files? you're **bleep** out of luck, because the search will only display the first 15 hits among your local files, and then show you spotify library tracks.I can't help but feel as though spotify is doing everything they can to stop us using spotify to listen to local files, as bugs that make it more or less impossible persist through multiple versions - and now features that seem to me to be basic functionality are being removed?mega minus points from someone who's been using spotify since 2008.

  • Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

      Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

    The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

  • ? Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will.

    Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will. I am using Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on an 8-year old puter I have just upgraded to 2G of RAM. It worked fine before with 256K. When a file won't open I get error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (103:103). Have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe products several times. Ideas?

    Good luck with that. Adobe10.0.1 is a bug infested BAD program. Look at the posts relating to this issue for the last 3 days. Many, many problems. Support is no help.

  • Mac: can I drag and drop files from Finder into Files panel

    I am relatively new to Mac so forgive me if this is obvious.
    I just switched from Windows to Mac and now something I used to
    know how to do in Windows I can't figure out how to do on Mac. In
    Windows I used to open an Explorer window over Dreamweaver, select
    some files, and drap and drop them into the Files panel in
    Dreamweaver, and they would be sucked in.
    Now on the Mac whenever I select the Finder window to select
    files to drag and drop, the Dreamweaver panels disappear
    completely, rather than just move beneath the Finder window. So
    when I'm ready to drag and drop there's no Dreamweaver to drop
    into. I see that if I put focus on Dreamweaver, then Finder won't
    disappear, and I can click on Finder to begin a drag without
    Dreamweaver disappearing but then it is unresponsive to a drop.
    In short, I can't seem to drag and drop files from Finder
    into Dreamweaver on the Mac. Am I missing something? I'm using
    Dreamweaver CS3 on Leopard if that makes any difference.
    Thanks,
    Jan

    I don't believe you can do this on the Mac platform. The only
    other thing you could try is to use Spaces and have the Finder open
    in one Space and then drag it over to Dreamweaver in another space.
    Outside of that I can't think of how this would work.

  • HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

    Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
    I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
    If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
    Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
    Which is best ?

    It does both at the same time.
    When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
    You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
    This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
    I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
    Then there are no "extra" files around.
