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?

My apps won't load after updating to iOS4.3.2. What to do?

My apps won't load after updating to iOS4.3.2. What to do?

Yes, I tried that (thanks for the suggestion, though!). In my music app, when I click on certain songs, the screen moves to try to start the song, but then it bounces back to the menu screen without playing the song. On many albums, when I click on the first song, a song about halfway through the album will start to play rather than that first song. My other apps seems to be fixed, but not the music function.

How come my apps won't open after updating to ios5

how come my apps won't open after updating to ios5?

Thanks for the feedback. This is a custom enterprise application. So there is not an update yet. It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable. So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.

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?

App won't launch. constant update

GTA san Andreas won't launch. i click on the icon and nothing happens. also it always says there is an update for it. but when i update it, it still says update. this game worked fine the first 2 days i had it, but now i can't start it. please help!!! i am running it on a brand new macbook pro retina display. 8 gb ram 2.6 GHz intel i7. i know the computer can handle it. i just wont launch.

Delete the app then reinstall.
Just dragging the app to the Trash doesn't delete all the associated files. Use this free utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac
Then re download the app...
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase. You won't be charged again.

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

ITunes 9.2 won't launch after update

Hi guys, downloaded and installed the new iTunes 9.2 this morning and now it won't launch, I get a dialog box telling me there isn't enough memory (although it's the only open app) - I really wanted to install the latest iPhone software but iTunes just doesn't open, there are no GUI mods skinning iTunes either so I'm not sure what's going on here... Any suggestions? Thanks!

Ok so there was a haxie preventing it from opening although I could of swore I excluded iTunes from Shapeshifter... Any way, sorted now

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?

Java app won't run after updating JavaApplicationStub

Before updating to Lion, I had JDiskReport installed.
After updating to Lion, it says it can't run Power PC app.
I installed Java, and replaced the JavaApplicationStub in the JDiskReport.app/Contents/MacOS with the Lion version.
Still when I try to run JDiskReport, Lion tells me it can run a PowerPC app.
Is there an attribute or something I need to clear so that it will run JDiskReport?

I also can confirm that replacing JavaApplicationStub from where it's located in Lion: (/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/MacOS/JavaApp licationStub) and copying the file to the package contents of Jdisk report works.
MPMeyer wrote:
1. I redownload the app, and dropped into Applications
2. make sure that you have Java installed on Lion, go to apple site to install it.
3. Open the Applications folder in Finder, find the app and choose show package contents.
4. Find JavaApplicationStub,
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/MacOS/JavaAppli cationStub
5. Copy it into the Contents/MacOS folder of the Application from step 4.
I had to re-download the app, since there must be some kind of attribute set on the app that does not let it run, even after I updated the JavaApplicationStub.

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.

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.

Warning - This is a long post.
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.
