Applications won't open, trying to reinstall OSX

I have a G5 iMac and I installed Leopard about a month ago and have installed the 10.5.2 update. The only software I have installed on the computer is iWork '08 and the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection (both of which were purchased legally.) The problem I am having is I can't get applications to open. When I click on an icon on the dock it bounces for a second and I get the spinning rainbow and then... nothing. The icon stops bouncing and the spinning rainbow goes away and the program never opens. I called Apple Care and they had me try to restart the computer in Safe Boot mode however it was unsuccessful. When I get to the login screen for Safe Boot mode I am not able to click anything or type in a password. The login menu will appear for a few seconds, then go away, and this keeps repeating. I am also unable to restart my computer from the top left corner. I have to push the button. Apple Care told me to reinstall Tiger and then reinstall Leopard. When I tried to put in the install disc for Tiger the installer will not open, it does the same thing as the applications. I have my computer backed up so I don't mind wiping it clean but I can't seem to get anything to work, what can I do? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I was able to fix my problem today if anyone is interested. I started the computer while holding the option key with the Tiger start up disc in the computer. A menu comes up with a Macintosh HD icon, Hardwear test icon, and an icon for the DVD. I selected the DVD icon and clicked the arrow icon and then just followed the instructions that went along with the disc. I still have no idea what the problem was but I'm glad it's fixed, I hope this helps if anyone is having similar problems.

  • 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.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 won't open, tried to update software, but software won't load

    I have CS6 (not cloud) installed on my computer, I use Photoshop and Illustrator regularly with no problems.  I recently got a freelance job that requires me to use Dreamweaver.  I've used it in the past but it's been some time since I've opened the program.  Recently I've tried to launch CS6 Dreamweaver and the Application won't open, but my Illustrator and Photoshop programs open just fine.  I tried to update my software through the Adobe Application Manager but its claiming that the update has failed and cannot be applied.  Is there a reason my applications are not working properly?

  • 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).

    Gave up on the GUI.  This script derived from http://blog.netnerds.net/2012/07/os-x-how-to-setup-nat-on-lion-and-mountain-lion / seems to work for me:
    gwdev=en0 # This is my WiFi connection (has Internet connection)
    targetdev=en1 # This is the USB to Ethernet adapter (to give Internet connection)
    /sbin/ifconfig $targetdev down
    /sbin/ifconfig bridge0 create
    /sbin/ifconfig bridge0 up
    /sbin/ifconfig bridge0 addm $gwdev
    /sbin/ifconfig bridge0 $HOST_ADDR
    /sbin/route add default -interface bridge0 -ifscope bridge0 -cloning
    /usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
    /sbin/ipfw add 100 divert natd ip from any to any via $gwdev
    /usr/sbin/natd -interface $gwdev -use_sockets -same_ports -unregistered_only -dynamic -clamp_mss -enable_natportmap -natportmap_interface $targetdev

  • Help! 13" macbook pro will not boot.  Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable.  Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked.  Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything?  I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Win OK

    Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable.  Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked.  Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything?  I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Windows no problem.

    Hotrodmkviii,
    try rebooting in Recovery mode, but when you reach the Mac OS X Utilities menu, run Terminal (from Utilities in the menu bar) instead. Inside the Terminal window, give it the following command, and then press the Return key:
    diskutil list
    Please include in your reply the output from that command.

  • I tried restoring my iMac 27" slim. I followed the steps erased my data then to reinstall osx mavericks. Now that I'm trying to reinstall osx mavericks for whatever reason it doesn't completes. Can you help me out?

    That's not quite the proper way as far as I can tell. Usually, one boots directly into the Recovery HD using COMMAND and R keys at startup. If you cannot do that then most likely there is a problem with the hard drive. Since this is a new computer i would make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • 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.

  • I did erase app store by mistake and i can't undo it and I'm trying to reinstall osx but can't find a link

    10.3 does not have the App Store available.      Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and the following will bring it back depending on what you have:
    Any version of 10.6, use the 10.6.8 Combo Update:
    Combo v1.1 (7/25/2011)
    Any version of 10.7, use the 10.7.5 Combo Update: 10.7.5 Combo
    Any version of 10.8, use the 10.8.5 Combo Update: 10.8.5 Combo
    Any version of 10.9, use the 10.9.2 Combo Update: 10.9.2 Combo
    Note, if you it does not bring it back, you may need to run the combo keys of command-R on boot restore if you have 10.7 or later, and then the appropriate Combo update.    If you have 10.6.8 or earlier, command-R restore is not available, and you need to either use the original 10.6 installer disc, if the Mac is newer than March 15, 2010, or the 10.6.3 retail disc found here for 10.6 compatible Macs that are older (that includes any Intel CPU Mac with at least 1 GB of RAM):
    10.6 retail is available from the Apple Store on http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard (the /us/ in the link may be changed for the standard two letter country code matching the store link). 
    If you are using a PowerPC Mac, G3, G4, or G5 you can't install 10.6, or the App Store.
    Those using 10.6.8 or earlier, do not jump to 10.7 or later, without reading this tip first:
