Applications won't open (particularly microsoft word)

Hi everyone, in the past I've had trouble with my macbook but for the past six months or so it's been smooth sailing. Then yesterday I noticed that an application I wanted to use wouldn't open. There was no error message it just doesn't respond when I clicked to open it. I didn't think much of it and re-started it today to see if it would work. It didn't. Then I realized microsoft word does not open either, which does worry me because it is something I use a lot and I can't even open my old documents. I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem/knows why this may be happening/has some advice. For the record some of my applications like, safari, ichat, and itunes still open no problem. Thanks in advance.

Apart from Word... what other applications are not opening. There have been a number of comments about people having problems with PPC apps running under Rosetta since the 10.4.10 update. The programs that you said are still working... safari, ichat, and itunes... are all universal binaries. If this is the case, you can download NeoOffice which is a free office suite for OS X (just be sure to download the Intel version). It will allow you to open and edit your Word documents. It's not as pretty as Word... but it's completely functional:

  • After updating to Mavericks "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS

    after updating to Mavericks a window pops up saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS.  How can I access my files. Secondly, is there a way to allow these programs to function?

    Quite honestly, a step by step guide to install Windows into Parallels could be needed by some basic or novice users, as well!
    My point is to not scare aware a user with a problem where a potential solution exists. 
    This is especially true because some of the few, but vocal, "naysayers" about this approach would use your statements to validate their continued criticism of it.
    One guy in particular criticises every option other than upgrading to Mavericks compatible software, even when the OP clearly expresses a problem where that option does not exist! ... and he was an early and very vocal proponent of the "installing Snow Leopard into a new partition - 'dual-booting' solution" when Lion was first released back in 2011!

    So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    Workarounds:
    1.  Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
    2.  Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
    3.  Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
    4.  The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Pages Documents Always Open with Microsoft Word???

    I have two word processing applications installed on my computer:
    Microsoft Word (12.24)
    Pages (4.04)
    For whatever reason, documents in .pages always want to open using Microsoft Word.
    I have tried everything to change this, including Get Info> Open With > Pages > Change All. At first this appears to work, displaying a (default) after pages in the drop-down box. However, when I next attempt to open the document, the document automatically opens in Microsoft Word. When I again check get info, Pages still has the (default) setting, but Microsoft Word is selected in the open with.
    I can change individual documents to open with .pages (by selecting pages in the dropdown box), but this only works with the single document and is thus extremely impractical.
    Can you think of how to solve this problem?

    That is a (drop down) menu.
    Try *Repair Disk Permissions* with *Disk Utility* and rebooting.
    Something has appeared to been hashed.
    Have you by any chance moved the Pages appliaction from out of the iWork folder in the Applications folder?
    Also have you updated Pages to the latest version and updated your system using the Combo (downloaded) version of OSX Updater (not the one from System Preferences > Software Update).

    It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
    1. What OS are you running.
    To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
    2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
    To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
    Version number:
    Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?

    Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
    Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

  • How do I open a microsoft Word 95 document in Pages?

    How can I open a Microsoft Word 95 document in Pages?

    The document format is too old. Download the free LibreOffice, and then open this Word '95 document with it. Then export to a different filename.doc, or filename.docx, and then open in Pages.

  • Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

    Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

    Another one that just opened up yesterday is OnLive. Both OnLive and CloudOn are cloud-based - you're accessing a server to operate Windows programs and files remotely. There are drawback to it, compared to a full program on the iPad (storing your files remotely, requiring strong and constant internet connection), but since they are both free for now (OnLive will offer pay plans for more storage and features, I imagine CloudOn will do something similar) it can't hurt to try them. I'm downloading both and will give them a whirl.
    I'm also hoping the rumors that MS is working on iPad versions of Office is true, although I imagine that just like the iWorks programs they'll have less features than the full versions.

  • Applications won't open after software update

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.
