Apps won't start after latest update?

Hello,
I'm on an older 2006 iMac (the one without the black border) and I installed the latest update last night. Now I can't get Firefox, Safari, Mail or apps working properly. When I try to start an app it bounces up and down and then I can't remember what it says but it won't start. Any ideas how to fix this? I'm thinking of downloading Firefox and Safari on my sister's computer and then transferring them via my memory stick.
I also tried a restart. Last night I just shut it down and walked away and figured I'd deal with it when I get home from work today.

Hi, first I hope you have your important stuff backed up!!?
I would & always do Repair Permissions Before & after Updates, so I would try the RP ..
Then I would go the SMC route, specific for your model..
If after that you still have "issues" You may need to go the Archive & Install route..

  • The Sims Game won't start after latest OSX update?

    Hello
    Ive tried so many things but my problem just don't get fixed!
    Yesterday I updated my MacBook Air with the new OSX 10.8.4 Update, since then my Sims 3 is not working no more!
    I tried a lot of things from the view that Sims was the Problem, but since this Problem accured just after I updated my Mac System, I figured it has to do something with the new Apple Update!
    When I start my Sims all I see is a Black Screen, It wont react unless I end with cmd/esc.
    I tried a lot of things and it just won't help anything.
    I reinstalled the Sims and it just doesnt show any process.
    I would be so glad, if sb. could help me and know why my Sims Game is acting up so much, since the new Mac OSX update.
    Maybe the Sims and the new Update is not compatible with each other?
    Somebody help me please! Thank you very much!!!

    Boot into the Safe Mode and try to open it.
    Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • MacBook won't start after latest OS update ("Possible memory corruption")

    I am running a late 2009 MacBook, 250GB, 4GB ram. I have just updated the OS (standard, regular update), iTunes and an older iMovie update. I made the necessary restart, and begun using iTunes. After 5 minutes, it crashed, and when turned back on, the startup apple logo screen was filled with command prompt code. The only thing I can do, is to force it to shutdown. At the top of the command prompt text, it now says "possible memory corruption".
    Latest update: I am now met with a black screen every time I turn on - the "sleep" light is on, but that appears to be all that's happening.
    Help!

    Do you have any 3rd party memory modules installed?  What system did you upgrade from? What MacBook module do you have, i.e.
    Check the memory modulds to make sure they are securly seated and try again. If you have 3rd party modules installed remove them and leave just the original Apple modules and try a restart.

  • Apps won't start after iOS5 upgrade for ipad2

    Hi, after upgrading my ipad with the latest iOS. when you clck on any apps..it starts and then minimize..when you double click on the home buttom..you will see the apps there. Please advice.

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    Otherwise have you tried closing all apps completely and then seeing if they work when you re-open them ? From the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • MBP won't start after failed update

    my mbp wont start after shutting down during the latest RAW photo update. the update completely failed and now the computer won't boot anything. i could hear the hard drive try to start over and over but never get anywhere, so i inserted the leopard cd. the computer wont even boot from the disk at this point; all i hear is the optical drive making the same, start-up, squeaking sound again and again until i finally hold power for 5 seconds and shut it off.
    i have a mbp from summer 2007.

    Press the Power Button and immediately press and hold down the Command and the S keys as the machine starts up. This boots you into Single-user mode and you should see white text appear on the screen.
    When you see the # Command prompt, type /sbin/fsck-fy and hit the Return.
    Now sit back & let your computer do its thing. This should take approximately 15 minutes or so. Depending on how messed up your computer is. Just be patient.
    If and when you see the message File System was modified repeat the steps above again & again until you hopefully see the message no problems were found." When that happens type reboot and hit Return again.
    If these steps do not work then boot from your install disc to repair disk. I believe you already tried this.
    To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Your random question, only Apple can answer that for you. Ask them and back up before you bring in your computer to the Apple store just in case.

    I do not see much about coloum 14, but I am guessing this file is stored somewhere and its corrupt. Update.xul suggests that it is the update file. Do you still have this in your downloads folder? There are two places for update and for a clean reinstall:
    [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/] in a private window will give you a new install or you can choose from here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/]
    This is what the file should look like; [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/7a2edc5171e6/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/update.xul] If you can copy and paste that file from a working browser we can see the issue, but it will just look the same as the error.
    if you can replace the contents of the file locally with what it should look like it will fix the error, but who knows if there are other errors. May be best to delete the updater and save all the profile folder contents.

  • Macbook won't start after recent update

    Hi Guys,
    Got a problem with a month old Macbook. Clicked for the recent updates and after it restarting the Macbook won't start up past the Apple logo and the rotating symbol beneath it.
    Any ideas ? Thanks in advance

  • X301 won't start after BIOS update

    Hi all:
    Well I've had my new x301 for about 2 months and it's given me nothing but troubles....Recently I found out my laptop won't come back on from hibernation (when you close the screen and open it up). So I downloaded and installed the lastest updates from Lenovo (including the recent BIOS update), restart computer, only to find out it doesn't start up anymore...black screen, thinkadvantage blue botton doesn't light up, no harddrive activity, only light on is battery and power...
    I'm thinking maybe something went wrong with the BIOS update. Is there anything I can do to fix it (besides shipping this thing to a repair center which is a big hassle, or paying $200 for an on-site tech that might or might not solve the problem).
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello all
    I just updated my X301 (2776LEG) with the 3.12-1.05 bios. Now my laptop won't start up when running on battery, it powers on for a short while and powers off again. This cycling keeps on going (after 30min I switched it off!) but as soon as i connect the power adapter it boots fine. Seems like this bios update f****ed up the battery power part of the computer....
    I tried the bios battery trick but it only worked on the first boot and after that the same problem is present.
    I have added 2gigs extra memory and a ultrabay battery and it has been working 100% for about a year now. This error started right after the bios update...
    Thought that a reflash of the bios would solve the problem but i cannot reflash the bios with the same bios version...
    Any ideas ?
    Kind regards

  • My MacBook won't start after iTunes update. I keep getting the spinning wheel. Any suggestions?

    While trying to back up my iPhone 4S to iTunes, I received a message that iTunes had to be upgraded. I did the upgrade, but my computer won't start now. I get a white screen with the spinning wheel. (Like the computer is trying to boot).  Any fixes?

    Please verify you got this screen as well:
    I had the same after updating fronm 10.7.1 to 10.7.2 tonight. Not even a re-install of the OS X 10.7 and Combo update to 10.7.2 helped. I think this time Apple messed up big time with the 10.7.2 update and some Mac Books (my case: MacBook 15" Mid 2009 = MacBookPro5,3)
    If any Apple Support person reads this: Please get in contact with me. This is highly unusual!!

  • Nokia 700 - won't start after FP1 update (112.some...

    Just checked for updates today and I had a new OTA update available, yay! So I thought, "Finally, FP1 is here!" Here's what happened afterwards:
    I charged my 700, created a back-up (never forget this step chaps), restarted it, took a deep breath, enabled Wi-Fi and let it update itself.
    So first step went fine, it downloaded the update. Second, it rebooted and started loading the update files while displaying "Updating..." Next, it switched the label to a coups of gears and continued filling the progress bar. And then - the moment of truth - reboot.
    Started initialising normally, then showed NOKIA logo, started the "Loading" animation with the five dots and... that was it. It keeps resetting while at the dots animation. After several tries it just gave up and remained blank. Waited some time and decided to wake it up - same scenario: starts init, several reboots, goes back to off.
    Is it that the OTA SW updated screwed up my device? Really hope not!
    Any words of advice from the community here before I go yell at somebody at one of my carrier's offices tomorrow morning?
    Cheers!

    Brief update - turns the phone is not "bricked" at all, problem is my SIM card.
    It's ancient honestly but should that render the phone useless?
    In short - tried booting without SIM at all - works OK. Tried with relatively recent SIM - OK. When tried with my old SIM (think I got it as a replacement to an even older price back in 1999 or 2000) - boom! Won't power up (keeps rebooting till it gives up at some point).
    Although I'll easily remedy it by getting a new chip in the morning, I was wondering - is Belle FP1 not supporting old SIM cards?

  • Hp compaq 6510b won't start after BIOS update

    hello

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I extracted BIOS softpaq sp55553. It is BIOS version F.20. It had the .SIG file inside when extracted using WinZip. You do not need to make a bootable usb flashdrive. Just put the files at the root of a FAT32 formatted usb thumbdrive, plug it into a usb 2.0 port. Hold the Win + B keys down and press the power button. Continue holding the keys down until the notebook reacts. It usually takes a bit longer than 15 seconds to respond and begin the BIOS recovery.

  • ITunes won't open after latest update on Windows8

    I did that latest update a day or so ago - now iTunes just hangs and never opens on my machine.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
