Avid Application won't open on Mavericks
Hey all,
So frustrated. I have a 2013 21.5" iMac (8GB RAM) / the basic model. I' have Avid Media Composer 7.0.3 downloaded successfully at the moment, but nothing I do will allow me to open the application. I keep getting the standard message Avid uses for all their problems "Segmentation Fault" in thread "MainThread" at address 0x0."
It actually was working just fine 3 days ago. Avid Support is no help. I tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it, but nothing changed. Then I uninstalled Maverick and started from scratch (I didn't use a time machine reload). Still there is no change, I keep getting the same error message. Has anyone else had this happen / have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Well, here are the specs for your iMac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP687
and here are the requirements for the software:
http://www.avid.com/US/products/media-composer/specifications
Not at all familiar with that software, but it appears it requires an i7 processor and you have an i5, as well as 16 GB for some functionalities and you have 8 GB. Your graphics card also may not support it.

Some applications won't open after updating to OS 10.8.5
I am running the Mountain Lion on a 2009 Macbook Air. I just did an update to 10.8.5 and now some of my applications won't open. A few of the appications that no longer run are Chrome, iPhoto and all Microsoft applications.
I tried uninstalling an reinstalling the apps but that did nothing, I also tried creating a new user account to see if the problem persisted in there and it did. I then tried removing my caches folder from Library which also fixed nothing. I then tried booting it in safe mode and the applications successfully opened in there.
I obviously can't just boot my Macbook up in safe mode whenever I need to use it so if anyone knows how this problem could be solved? They were all functioning normally before I did the most recent update of OS.
I have tried repairing the disk permissions but that resulted in no change also. I do not have the start up disk for Mountain Lion so reinstalling the OS is not possible, nor is booting from disk.
I'm in my final year of college, in the middle of my final year project I REALLY need this fixed.When I try to open iPhoto, Unity, Chrome or a few others it gives me the same error each time. "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X"
But that doesn't make sense because I just updated the OS and all my applications are up to date also. I've tried reinstalling, no joy though. -

Applications won't open after software update
after i installed an automatic software update on my iBook G4, and did the restart, several applications won't open such as Safari, iTunes, iChat. I tried to reinstall the software update, but that won't open either. it just jumps up and down like normal, and then won't open. after i try again, it jumps only once. what the heck is happening??? and i'm not very computer smart so dumb it up for me
Hello, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates. -
NSU N76 application won't open
Hi,

Applications won't open, among other things
My MacBook is falling apart...first the wireless stops working (similarly to others), then the backlight goes out, and now my applications have gone haywire...
First, I tried to install the iTunes 9.0.2 update and the install failed and corrupted my iTunes so that it no longer works (I have this posted on another thread). I have tried to redownload and install multiple times and it tells me there is an error in the install. The I tried to install it again from the software update, along with a system update and both had errors installing. I tried doing them separately and they still wouldn't work. This was last Thursday. I was put of town and didn't use my MacBook until today, but when I turned it on, I discovered that half my applications won't open -- mail, safari, iChat, adium, picasa, to name a few. The software update won't open from the pull down menu, but I can get to it from the system preferences.
Also, now it tells me there are no updates, when the two that failed should still show up.
There actually seems to be something wrong with the installer in general too, as now anything I try to install gives me an error...
Any ideas???

Mac Applications won't open on startup
Whenever I start up my Macbook Pro, it's very slow when I log into my user account. It takes multiple attempts to open up programs such as Safari, Microsoft One Note, or Microsoft Word. The icon will pop up and bounce in my dock, then stop bouncing but not open. I have to right click and select "force quit" because it will tell me the application is not responding. It usually takes 4 or 5 tries before the application can start normally. If the laptop has been on a few hours, this usually won't happen.
I have tried logging in a Guest User account and everything opens up so quickly! Same thing when booting into Safe Mode and logging into my own user account. Rebooting normally, I still have this problem.
I tried following this thread but the fix seems to be user specific
All applications are up to date. This happened in Mountain Lion and now Yosemite (using 10.10 right now).

Applications won't open after Quicktime Update...and fix won't work!
Hello,
I'm having the same problem as many others: after the recent Quicktime update most of my applications won't open.
I've followed the instructions from Apple at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306043
However, when I do the "sudo" prebinding thing, I get this:
update_prebinding: error: dependent dylib is not prebound
update_prebinding: error 256 running updateprebindingcore
Any ideas?! Thanks!

Hi! I'm Ralph.. Just updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.2- 6.1.3. ... Now the photo application won't open... Please help me what to do
Why would this be covered under warranty? There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device. -
Applications Won't Open After Charging/Updating iPod
I downloaded several applications to my iPod Touch from the App store on my iPod. Then, I charged my iPod on my computer, downloaded the latest iPod update, and now the applications won't open on my iPod. When I press the application button, it goes to that app's opening screen and then goes right back to my iPod's main screen. What's the deal? Thanks!
This problem just appeared on my son's iPod Touch. I reset the iPod to it's factory settings. I did NOT restore back to my saved settings. When it was restored, I installed each downloaded application one at a time until I discovered which one was corrupting the operating system.

Basic Apple applications won't open on Mac Pro after Mavericks upgrade
Hi,
I'm having issues opening a number of basic applications including Quicktime and Itunes
Through the App store I have updated everything, the last one I was holding out on was updating Itunes. I did that last night and now today Itunes won't open.
I click the image in the dock, the icon briefly bounces upward and then after bouncing down does not open or display any kind of error message.
I am running a 2008 Mac Pro w/ 2x2.8ghz quad-core, 10gb of RAM, these issues began after updating to Mavericks.
Many other apps including FCPX, Adobe Premiere CC, VLC, App Store, are all working fine.
It seems to be an issue with just basic Apple software - please help!Thanks for the suggestions... tried changing resolution and that had no effect, and I've checked my Perian and DivX installations in System Preferences and both say they are completely up to date. I upgraded Quicktime today to 7.5 before all of this became a problem -- but I don't know how to upgrade iLife. In Software Update everything is completely up to date (eg each of the iLife apps).
Oh well, iMovie is not very useful to me anyway -- just somehow annoying that it fails to work. No point flogging a dead horse!!
Any other ideas gratefully received... many thanks in advance -
MBP Mid 2012.
Upgraded to Mavericks from Mountain Lion. The user account I was using when performing the upgrade now won't open any applications. In another user account on same computer, everything works fine.
When I click on an application the desktop picture goes blank before returning and nothing happens with the application. I can open folders but nothing else.
I've tried every fix I can find, but no success yet. I've reset the Pram, repaired disc permissions, re-installed Mavericks over the top, deleted all .plist files, repaired disk with disk utility etc.
Any ideas and help would be appreciated.
Tod.Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
Just about everything on computer is slow as mollases after Mavericks Update. I am very angry because I can't use After Effects at all. It says it's not compatible with this new system. My mail application crashes as soon as I open it. Notification centre is non-existent now and Messages app won't open at all. Other apps such as iBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, and a few others won't open at all on this new system. I'm soo angry with Apple as I've never had so many problems with a new OS X. .. I would love to downgrade back to Mountain Lion OS. Anyone with helpful info, please respond. Thanks.

App Store Won't Open After Mavericks Install :(
Since installing Mavericks my App Store won't open. I click and it bounces one time then....nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I discovered this when I noticed that Image Preview won't open. I thought that there was an update for it so I went to the app store to see and discovered it won't open either!Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. 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. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. 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 un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
