Apps Download But Will Not Launch

I am having problems with app store apps. The purchase goes fine, the icon flies to the Dock, but when I click on the app either in the Dock or in the /Applications folder the icon bounces once or twice and that is that. I have checked my purchases and the apps indicate they have been installed. Searching the app store help I have not been able to determine a way to either re-download or re-install the apps once App Store thinks they have been installed.
The only solution I have worked out is to purchase the apps on my desktop iMac then Install them on my laptop and copy the executable file back to the desktop. I am bound to be missing something here but my questions are:
<list=1>
Why won't the downloads direct to the iMac launch?
How do I re-download and re-install?

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 Combo Update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
Then repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US 
Then restart your Mac. See if your apps will launch.
If not, open a Finder window, select your Home folder in the Sidbar on the left. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file to the Trash. Re open the MAS and try again.

Creative Cloud Creative Cloud Photoshop installs but will not launch

Hi, my Creative Cloud Photoshop latest version installs but will not launch. When I try it opens a page with a long error code report. I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop several times with the same result. I downloaded and tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, as I found as a solution in the help forum, but since I uninstalled Photoshop before I ran the Cleaner Tool there are installed applications, and AdobeCreativeCloudDriver. Should I hit the clean all CS6 button at the bottom of the window. There is nothing including Photoshop in this list.

You will have to provide system info and the exact errors. Nobody can help based on vague "This doesn't work" posts.

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Just purchased call of duty 4 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 4GB but will not launch or open. Any suggestions, please.

Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8. Then try launching the app.
if that doesn't help, try contacting the developer of the app > http://support.aspyr.com/home

Rented movie downloaded but will not play

I have an USA Apple account. I am currently in the Philippines. I rented a movie thru Itunes. It is downloaded but will not play. Is there a fix for this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Take a look in the video app.

Itunes will not open on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white foldertype icon. itunes is listed in programmes on my start menu but will not launch either

please help
itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

Adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install

adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install?

Hunt
What you just wrote may have revealed the Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integration consideration. If you have Premiere Elements 11, you need Photoshop Elements 11 for the integration between the programs to produce the DVD version of the Photoshop Elements Slideshow.
All along I was picturing Meyerswalter already in Premiere Elements 11/Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and being told to install Premiere Elements to get the burn to disc accomplished.
But, if Meyerswalter is using Premiere Elements 11 and a non integrated version of Photoshop Elements for this matter, that could very well fit.
So, Meyeswalter, so that we can dispel those thoughts
a. What versions of Photoshop Elements are you using with Premiere Elements 11? And, are you in the Photoshop Elements Slideslide Show Editor using the Output of Burn to Disc DVD or Edit with Premiere Elements Editor and getting the load software message somewhere along the line?
b. To prove this point, if you have not already, what happens if you take Photoshop Elements out of the equation. Import some media into Premiere Elements 11 and try to burn to disc from there Publish+Share/Disc/DVD?
If that is the core of the issue, I will post a list of Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integrated combos as a guideline for you.
If this is the core of the issue, you could always keep the non Photoshop Elements 11 version that you have, output the slideshow to a wmv file sized for DVD and then import that into Premiere Elements 11 via its Add Media. More on that later if necessary since right now I am speculating on an explanation for what you are encountering.
Thanks.

Hi, Ken -
Since you have a new install of OSX, you may be missing Stuffit Expander, needed to expand downloads encrypted/archived in a Stuffit format. That problem confronted me with a new machine running OSX 10.6; a download and install of Stuffit Expander fixed it.
You can download Stuffit Expander from this webpage -

Note - be sure to get the version that matches your OSX version.

Apps show but will not run after sync

iPod Touch 4th generation updated to version 4.3.2(bh7)
last night, sync went well. Today all apps appear but will not run they just flash like they are trying to run. System goes back to main screen.

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try a hard reset of your iPod: Press/hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Hope this helps!

PSE 12 Bundled w/ Intuos 5 Tablet Downloads Fine But Will Not Launch From Intuos Site or Disc

I bought an Intuos 5 tablet last month. It came bundled with PSE 12. The tablet works excellant and I use it with CS6 100% of the time. I did not load PSE12 from the Intuos supplied PSE disc because I use CS6.
I have another computer that I use for photo editing and I loaded the Intuos onto it but since I don't have CS6 on it, I was going to load PSE12.
WRONG!!!!
PSE will not "Launch" via cd or Intuos website download of program.
I am running Windows XP(which is running CS6 fine), Win 7 on 2 other computers, 1 with CS6 and CS5, the other nothing...no photoediting sw at all. Hence adding PSE12.
I cannot get any phone or email support from Adobe on PSE12. Intuos engineers have no idea what is wrong either with their site download or cd version. But will not call Adobe for help.
Here are some of the errors.
After PSE is loaded and it asks "Do You Want To Launch?": I click ok and
It goes to a screen asking do I want to Uninstall PSE12?
If I go to the exe. file and click....I get numerous errors as follows:
Dan
Why won't post allow me to add "attachment"??

In the PSE 12 folder, double click on the Setup.exe
If you get this, just click on Ignore
