Apps not launching after using Firewire drive on a different ibook.

Hello. I purchased a used ibook running system 9.2 and used my firewire drive from my original ibook ( OS 10.3.9) as a startup disk. It mounted the drive and operated but Safari and Mail were un able to make an internet connection. Mail needed a Force Quit to be able to Shutdown. The firewire drive is the only drive used with the original ibook and contains the OS and applications. Since then several but not all applications will not launch on my original ibook. Safari crashes then launches. Mail launches but will not work. Incidentally, I do not have any s OS 9 files on my original ibook. I have repaired permissions.

Hi John, welcome to Apple Discussions
One possible fix, clear your System and Kernel Caches on the firewire drive. You can do this using a Utility such as Onyx - Panther version. Restart.
If that doesn't help, since your problem is OS X related, the Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier forum would be a better place to post your problem.

  • CS4 Apps not launching after install

    Hi,
    I have an imac running OSX 10.5.6, with CS2 installed on it. This morning I received my CS4 upgrade discs. The installation ran without a problem. I opened CS4 Photoshop with no problem, then I opened CS4 Acrobat...a window popped up asking for a serial number (odd I thought) so I put in my CS4 serial number, but it didn't work. I decided to restart the machine. After restart none of the apps would launch, they appear in the doc for a few seconds and then close up. Acrobat will launch briefly, but it asks for my computer password, after that it says I need to launch another CS 4 app bc it is part of a suite and acrobat closes. CS4 Bridge is the only app that will launch and stay opened. So with the exception of Bridge and Acrobat (which doesn't really open in the end) all the other apps just appear on the doc for a few secs and then close.
    I was on and off the phone with tech support for about 6 hours, installing, uninstalling (CS2 and 4 using maccs3clean) making new user logins, using safe boot, more uninstalling and reinstalling. Then they tell me they are out of ideas and will need to do research and since it's Friday, I won't hear from them again until Monday. Obviously this is a bit aggravating.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I'd almost say the discs were duds, but after that first installation I was at least able to open PS without a hitch, but the trouble seemed to start when I opened acrobat, and it asked for a serial number.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dov,
    Thanks for chiming in. After several hours of phone time with  tech support, they had no answers and said that would have to get back to me Monday. But I’ve found the solution on a forum and it literally took me less than a minute to do. I removed the "FLEXnet Publisher" folder from the Preferences folder that’s within the Library folder. All CS4 apps opened right up without a problem.

  • Creative Clous Apps not launching after downloading

    I just subscribed to creative cloud, but cannot open Illustrator or Photoshop, it says they are downloaded, but the 'launch app' functionality is not shown. I tried to fix this by uninstalling previous trial versions that were on my computer of CS6 Photoshop & Illustrator, but now these apps still show up in Adobe Application Manager as though they have been downloaded, but are nowhere to be found on my computer. I tried to re-download them from Adobes page, but no luck.
    The "Launch App" button never appeared for any of the apps when Adobe Applicaiton manager first installed the items.
    Please, is any one has any suggestions it woudl be greatly appreciated! I really need to use these apps today!
    Thanks so much.
    Ananda

    Ananda this is completely expected.  The launch application option will only be avaiable after you initially install the program.  The idea is to allow you to easily test it's functionality.  After that you will want to launch the application in the manner usual for your operating system.  Which operating system are you using?

  • Finder not launching after using Docker

    Hey there, this morning i made a really stupid move, I was looking for ways to customise my dock, then I found docker, after playing around with the settings for a bit, I kept getting error messages saying 'Finder Quit unexpectidly' each time i close it, it just repeats and wont go awa
    How can I fix it?

    I can confirm this issue. I've upgraded from 10.7.5 and Docker was installed and functional in that version.
    After Mavericks installation, Docker was still functional and so was finder, but after trying to change the settings in Docker, Finder started crashing. Some settings changes in Docker weren't saved / applied so the next step was to check the disk for permission problems. The disk utility found some issues in Finder's paths. I've tried resetting Docker to defaults and removing / re-installing it, but the problem with Finder persisted.
    IMHO, this is a bug overlook by Apple devs. Its Finder stability and settings affected here, don't ask me why.
    Can anyone suggest a better way to workaround this issue? (as I've already uninstalled Docker while not in safe mode and now have nothing left to uninstall). Also, OP, did that method work for you?
    Thanks,
    ASP

    Lync mobile app will not launch after upgrade to lollipop on HTC One (M8). Is this a known issue or is a fix available?

    Hi THGutz,
    Did you install the latest version of Lync for Android ?
    The current version of Lync for Android is

    I don’t test it on M8, but on other Android 5.0 devices it works fine.

  • Apple apps not launching since OS X Yosemite (Macbook Pro medio 2009)

    Hi,
    Since I downloaded OS X Yosemite from the App Store and updated my operating system, I haven't been able to open certain Apple applications, like Mail, iCal, Calculator, Safari. Other applications, like Chrome, Firefox, CleanMyMac or Coda 2.5 are working just fine. I can't even get the App Store to launch. I tried opening the apps through Spotlight, the dock and via Finder, but nothing works.
    My Macbook Pro is from medio 2009 and runs Yosemite fine except for the apps not launching. I can't check my system specifications, because ...these also won't launch.
    Suggestions anyone? Perhaps this is a familiar problem.
    Thanks

    Here is the only viable solution for that:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.

  • ITunes will not launch after upgrade--click, bounce bounce, nada

    iTunes will not launch after upgrade--rebooted nothing--2 bounce icon
    then shut down all and unplugged, restarted--no change, iTunes still will not launch after upgrade
    iTunes current version
    on imac w/10.6.8

    I have the same issue.
    Allready uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but the same problem occurs.
    Icon keeps bouncing, and all that's visible is the first menu-item in the top menu bar, named iTunes. Nothing is clickable though.
    The iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't seem to work either, it crashes on uploading an app to my iPhone. I guess it's using some of iTunes' libs or something.
    Does anyone know how to get iTunes working again? I'm getting pretty desperate over here...
    Thanks!

  • Aperture (2.1.2) will not launch after 10.5.6 installed

    Quite possibly this problem happened because of something else I did. However I just now noticed today that Aperture will not launch after I installed 10.5.6 last week. This is the first time I tried Aperture since I updated.
    Help! This is VERY important to me as I do all of my photo ediing these days with Aperture. I have a couple of thosand photos waiting .
    Is it possible to download a new copy of Aperture? Yes, I am a registered owner and first paid the full $300 for this app.
    Any and all help most appreciated.

    try going through the application maintenance steps. You mentioned that you ran repair permissions prior to installation, this needs to be run AFTER any application install. As it could be any number of things causing the issue I have listed in sequence some steps to take for trouble shooting/maintenance.
    1. Repair permissions on system drive and drive with application on it.
    2. Verify and repair the disk with the library on it. If on your system disk run verify to see if it needs repair.
    3. Remove the application preferences found here:
    system disk/users/users/library/preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
    •test application
    4. CMD+OPT when clicking on the Aperture icon to launch it and choose consistency check
    •test application
    5. CMD+OPT and choose rebuild library
    •test application
    6. Remove any installed plug-ins from following directories
    system disk/users/users/library/application support/aperture/plugins/
    system disk/library/application support/aperture/plugins/
    •test application
    7. Hold the Option key down and launch Aperture and see if you get the option to create new library or choose library, try both of these steps.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

    Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

    Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
    Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
    "There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
    The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
    Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
    So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
    Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
    Thanks for the ideas!
