Apps won't launch after disk reformat

I recently deactivated my Creative Cloud apps on my primary machine because I needed reformat the startup partition. After the reformat everytime I try to launch an app I'm asked to sign in, after the thank you screen the app will not launch (with the exception of Photoshop). Everything works fine on my secondary laptop.
I'm on OSX 10.6.8. Also, I use Retrospect to clone my system back to the reformatted disk. I'm suspicious that that might be the cause, but I'm also worried about making things worse if I try to reinstall a new system.

Installing a new system fixed the problem

Most apps won't launch - Safari, Disk Utilities, FontBook, Help, Systm Pref

This morning my MacBook powered down because the battery ran out. When it powered up everything seemed fine. A couple hours later Safari crashed. Now it won't launch at all. Most Apple apps won't launch now, including Disk Utilities, Font Book, Help, System Preferences, etc. My software update says I am up-to-date on all software, nevertheless, I used Windows Explorer to download the OX 10.4.9 update and re-installed it. No change in my error. I have read the other posts and most suggest to use Disk Utility, but what do I do if I can't launch Disk Utility? Thanks!
Here's the report when Safari crashes:

IWork apps won't launch after new HD installed

My hard drive was failing so all files were backed up to an external hard drive (don't know what method - the Mac store did it for me) then moved to the new hard drive. Now the iWork apps won't launch. Doesn't matter which account I use and makes no difference if I boot in Safe Mode. I've updated iWork and still no difference. The icon flashes a couple of times on the dock, then disappears. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When you say you updated iWorks are you talking about the update a few days ago? How about just reinstalling the applications?

Apple apps won't launch after update to Yosemite

Hi all,
I'm unable to launch and Apple apps (app store, email etc) after update from Lion to Yosemite. I've got a crash report but don't seem able to post it here for some reason. Any ideas?

When I try to post the crash report the 'Post' button just goes grey and nothing else happens

Some apps won't launch after downloading

I've downloaded and "successfully" installed some applications from the cloud according to the application manager. Bridge, Ai; Id; Muse and Ps will launch without a problem, however Pr family products; Dw; Ae; and Media Encoder won't launch. All except Dw at least get a splash screen and then crash, Dw just goes nowhere. I've uninstalled the later apps using the uninstaller and tried re-downloading Dw but still doesn't work. What's going on here?

I'm having the same problem. Have you found a solution yet?
Thanks.

That's pretty vague. If you post a few more details, it might increase the chances that someone can help you.
- What update?
- What happens when you try to launch those apps?
- Besides Firefox, what "some other" apps can you launch?

Apps won't launch after sleep

I've begun to notice a strange condition after my MacBook Pro 15" wakes from sleep. It comes back normally but I cannot launch any app that is not a Universal Binary. I get one bounce and then nothing. If I try to launch a UB app like Safari or any of the other apps they'll open and work normally. If I try to launch anything like any of the Adobe CS apps or any part of MS Office they all bounce once and that's it.
If I reboot when this happens, everything is fine. It's getting kind of annoying.

What have you tried to fix this? The things most people try first include:
Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Reset the PMU by removing the power and the battery and holding down the power button for awhile.
Sign on as a different user. If the problem is with your settings, then this might fix it by giving you a fresh start.
Start up in safe mode (hold down shift key when booting.)
You may want to boot from the install disk (1) by inserting the disk and holding down the "C" key. You can go to the menu to repair the hard drive.
If you've already tried them all, then there are some other things....

Apps won't launch after Terminal has been launched.

I just started noticing this recently. Before I launch terminal, I can open and close as many apps as I want. After I launch terminal, no apps will launch. They just keep bouncing in the dock indefinitely. Does anybody else have the same problem?

I deleted the file, but it did not work. Terminal was still interfering with launching my other apps. If I do a fresh Snow Leopard install, it would work fine, but after I do a Time Machine restore, or Migration Assistant and transfer my user account over, the problem came back. I ended up reformatting the HD, do a fresh Snow Leopard install, and used migration assistant to copy over ONLY my home folder, nothing else. I ignored the copying over the Applications, Settings, and Other. Now my system is working fine, but I have to reinstall a bunch of Applications now.

Pro Apps won't launch after migration

We just migrated from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and FCP, DVDSP, and iDVD all won't open. I tried reinstalling FCS but it didn't work. I used a freeware called Final Cut Remover to try to get rid of all the bits but that didn't work.
HELP! We have an edit scheduled on this machine tomorrow!
I had the same problem once before when I upgraded my computer but I had more time so I just did a clean install of OSX and all my apps. I don't have that luxury this time.

How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the install disc and go through the following procedure to identify the installed files.
1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
2) Click to let the installer check your system
3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the files installed, then select all of them
5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
6) Open a text editor & paste the list
7) If you have a printer connected, print
8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated in the list
The other way involves the Terminal.
Using Terminal:
1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)
lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.
7) Press Return to view the list
8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)
9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.
10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System.

The majority of apps won't launch after a restore

Hi, first of all, excuse any mistake, english is not my main language.
I did a restore using time machine and it seemed fine at first, but a further look after seems like I cannot open the majority of applications I have, for example, mail, software update, itunes, even third party soft like transmission or adium. Other apps works correctly, seems so random...
When I try to open mail for example, it pops up in the dock for a few seconds and then stops, and doesn't open. Same for the other "broken" apps. I repared permissions, restarted, but still hasn't improved.
Any ideas?

You're doing fine (better than many native English speakers)
I'm assuming you followed the procedure in #14 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If not, do it that way.
Why did you restore? If it was because you'd been having serious problems with your Mac, whatever was causing them may have been copied to the last backup(s), so the one you restored may have been compromised. If so, try the restore again, but select an earlier backup.
If not, or if that doesn't help, try verifying your internal HD, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
If that doesn't help, install a fresh version of OSX, per Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

Bloomberg app won't launch after v2.0.5 update

I downloaded the latest Bloomberg update (v2.0.5) into iTunes on my Mac Pro, and then I connected and synced my iPod Touch. My Bloomberg app now fails to launch. The initial Bloomberg screen appears for a few seconds, but then I get sent back to the main iPod Touch screen. Shutting down and restarting my iPod did not help, nor did re-synching via iTunes.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Did you find a solution? Is it possible to revert my Bloomberg app back to its previous version without affecting all my other apps? Thanks!
Don

is it just the bloomberg app, or is it others?
this is quite a common problem, which normally affects all apps. the two solutions generally suggested are a reset of the ipod (hold down home and power button until you get an apple on the screen) or downloading another app (any seems to do it)
if you downloaded it via your computer, have you tried downloading it straight to you ipod using wifi? or have you tried deleting it and downloading it again?
if it is just that app, it may be a problem with the update, in which case it may be a good idea to contact the manufacturer/go to their website and see if any problems have been reported in any forums they may have.
another thing i've just thought of, and i'm not sure whether this will work, but when i go into the apps folder via mymusic and itunes, (on a windows machine, not sure about mac) there are usually multiple versions of the same app listed if they've been upgraded. you could try deleting the most recent one and then resyncing.

Apps won't launch after sync - 3Gs

So I've downloaded some apps, via the app store on my iPhone 3Gs. When I connect it to my Mac some of them refuse to launch.
If I uninstall and then re-install them they work.
All of the apps are free.
I've read that I might need to authorize my computer to run things that are "bought" from the itunes store, is this the case? On that token, do I HAVE to buy something or is there a way I can authorize my Mac without making an actual purchase?
Thanks for any help that is given.

I obviously posted early. I found it in the menu bar...I was to jumpy, haha.
Checking to see if authorizing my Mac has had an effect.

Apps. won't launch after system install?

I had to do a system re-install because of a finder corruption and while the re-install seemed to go okay, many of my third party apps required re-installing, some major apps like FM Pro 11 required re-installing and NONE of my iLife apps will launch. Any idea, suggestions without having to re-install virtually everything.

If you erased the hard drive first, then you should have to reinstall everything. But you did not say what you did to reinstall Snow Leopard.
