Applications won't open 10.4.8 update

I know there are several posts relating to 10.4.8 issues but the topics seem to digress somewhat.
I own a Powerbook 17" shipped with Mac osX 10.x navitevly. Software updates up to and including 10.4.7 have been done (automatically) without an issue. I Updated to 10.4.8 and immediately after:
1. No applications open at all (bounce on the dock only)
2. Finder on dock and in menu bar is non-responsive
3. Spinning colour wheel continuously
4. Can't force quit or shut down normally, I must hold down the power button for 5 seconds to quit.
5. I've tried to both repair the HD using disk utility, and verify and repair permissions with no impact on the above
6. I can access the hard drive before I try to open applications, but when I attempt to launch an application I lose the ability to browse the hard drive or DVD drive.
I do have an admin password that I have to type when I install programs (could be related to permissions?)
I'm a noob user that is under the impression I shouldn't have to do anything other than automatically update. I know most will say I'm wrong but it should be that simple?
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome. I can't use my Mac at this point without booting to safe mode.... help please.

archive and install basically keeps all your settings.
I personally would wipe it clean, and start fresh.
I actually do this every few years. This way you only install the latest versions of the software you actually use.
Just make sure you backup your mail, bookmarks, documents, music, pictures, movies, etc.
If you have an external hard drive, you could use carbon copy cloner to backup your current system.
Than wipe your drive, and everything will be on the external. (just move files over as needed) NOT application, always install apps from their installer.

  • Some applications won't open after updating to OS 10.8.5

    I am running the Mountain Lion on a 2009 Macbook Air. I just did an update to 10.8.5 and now some of my applications won't open. A few of the appications that no longer run are Chrome, iPhoto and all Microsoft applications.
    I tried uninstalling an reinstalling the apps but that did nothing, I also tried creating a new user account to see if the problem persisted in there and it did. I then tried removing my caches folder from Library which also fixed nothing. I then tried booting it in safe mode and the applications successfully opened in there.
    I obviously can't just boot my Macbook up in safe mode whenever I need to use it so if anyone knows how this problem could be solved? They were all functioning normally before I did the most recent update of OS.
    I have tried repairing the disk permissions but that resulted in no change also. I do not have the start up disk for Mountain Lion so reinstalling the OS is not possible, nor is booting from disk.
    I'm in my final year of college, in the middle of my final year project I REALLY need this fixed.

    When I try to open iPhoto, Unity, Chrome or a few others it gives me the same error each time. "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X"
    But that doesn't make sense because I just updated the OS and all my applications are up to date also. I've tried reinstalling, no joy though.

  • Applications won't open after software update

    after i installed an automatic software update on my iBook G4, and did the restart, several applications won't open such as Safari, iTunes, iChat. I tried to reinstall the software update, but that won't open either. it just jumps up and down like normal, and then won't open. after i try again, it jumps only once. what the heck is happening??? and i'm not very computer smart so dumb it up for me

    Hello, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

  • Applications won't open after Quicktime Update...and fix won't work!

    Hello,
    I'm having the same problem as many others: after the recent Quicktime update most of my applications won't open.
    I've followed the instructions from Apple at
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306043
    However, when I do the "sudo" prebinding thing, I get this:
    update_prebinding: error: dependent dylib is not prebound
    update_prebinding: error 256 running updateprebindingcore
    Any ideas?! Thanks!

  • I Just updated the software of my iphone 4s thru phone, now the photo application won't open... Please help me what to do?

    Hi! I'm Ralph.. Just updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.2- 6.1.3. ... Now the photo application won't open... Please help me what to do

    Why would this be covered under warranty?  There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
    As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device.

  • Applications Won't Open After Charging/Updating iPod

    I downloaded several applications to my iPod Touch from the App store on my iPod. Then, I charged my iPod on my computer, downloaded the latest iPod update, and now the applications won't open on my iPod. When I press the application button, it goes to that app's opening screen and then goes right back to my iPod's main screen. What's the deal? Thanks!

    This problem just appeared on my son's iPod Touch. I reset the iPod to it's factory settings. I did NOT restore back to my saved settings. When it was restored, I installed each downloaded application one at a time until I discovered which one was corrupting the operating system.

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 suddenly won't open unless it's updated

    My iPhoto version shows in the Application folder as 9.4.3. I try to open it and get rerouted to the App Store to update it. When I try to update it I get a dialogue box that reads:
    "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    The App Store shows an update is ready, but won't let me update. I tried to repurchase and the App Store won't resell it to me, only gives me the option of an update because I already have it installed. Then it won't update because it says I haven't yet bought it.
    So far as I know, no other user bought it nor was it refunded or cancelled. It always opened until suddenly it didn't anymore.
    What might have happened to the original iPhoto 9.4.3, and how would I get out of this loop where iPhoto won't open unless it's updated, the App Store has an update ready to install and won't let me have it or repurchase it?
    I'd be grateful for any ideas that will stop this confusing cycle.
    thanks.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with AppleScript Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
    delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. Note:  you may have to Control (right) - click on the app after uncompressing and select Open due to the Sandboxing feature of OS X.  If you have problems with the app create your own with AppleScript Editor.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • Applications won't open, among other things

    My MacBook is falling apart...first the wireless stops working (similarly to others), then the backlight goes out, and now my applications have gone haywire...
    First, I tried to install the iTunes 9.0.2 update and the install failed and corrupted my iTunes so that it no longer works (I have this posted on another thread). I have tried to redownload and install multiple times and it tells me there is an error in the install. The I tried to install it again from the software update, along with a system update and both had errors installing. I tried doing them separately and they still wouldn't work. This was last Thursday. I was put of town and didn't use my MacBook until today, but when I turned it on, I discovered that half my applications won't open -- mail, safari, iChat, adium, picasa, to name a few. The software update won't open from the pull down menu, but I can get to it from the system preferences.
    Also, now it tells me there are no updates, when the two that failed should still show up.
    There actually seems to be something wrong with the installer in general too, as now anything I try to install gives me an error...
    Any ideas???

  • Mac Applications won't open on startup

    Whenever I start up my Macbook Pro, it's very slow when I log into my user account. It takes multiple attempts to open up programs such as Safari, Microsoft One Note, or Microsoft Word. The icon will pop up and bounce in my dock, then stop bouncing but not open. I have to right click and select "force quit" because it will tell me the application is not responding. It usually takes 4 or 5 tries before the application can start normally. If the laptop has been on a few hours, this usually won't happen.
    I have tried logging in a Guest User account and everything opens up so quickly! Same thing when booting into Safe Mode and logging into my own user account. Rebooting normally, I still have this problem.
    I tried following this thread but the fix seems to be user specific
    All applications are up to date. This happened in Mountain Lion and now Yosemite (using 10.10 right now).

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

  • Applications won't open after error in a update using a Apple G4

    Apple G4 wont open applications, it says application switcher error or error type 3, everthing used to work until when updating the mac a error accured it restarted, now it won't open an application without saying error type 3, or when it boots a bomb sign with the following message saying application switcher error please restart. does anyone know what i can do or whats happened? i have a boot disk which isn't the offical apple cd as i cannot find it or find a place where i could get one from if anyone knows where i could get one from that would be most helpful!!
    Thanks.

    haydn,
    It sounds like you are talking about Application Switcher from system 6, twenty five years ago.  If you are using system 9 and you happened to have other systems on your hard drive, the computer could get confused with what to do becausse it sees older software that the processor can not handle.
    I looked at a map of England and did not recognize any cities that would have a Mac user group.  If you google and find a user group near you, the best thing to do would be to find a Boot CD, put it in, restart while holding down the C key and see if you can clean up your drive.
    Otherwise, ebay has boot CDs listed from time to time.  This may look tempting:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/iBook-G3-Install-cds-x7-10-2-Jaguar-OS-9-2-2-OS-8-/2207859 53727?pt=UK_Computing_Apple_Mac_Accessories&hash=item3367de4bbf
    But, here is the catch.  The disks look like they are grey and not the universal install CDs.  If one of the CDs is not for your exact model of computer, be sure and look for a CD that is white with an orange 9 on it.
