Can't access any applications

I was installing a new program (the Centra client for participating in online meetings)using Safari, and the Centra installer froze. I used Force Quit to get out of Safari. Once I did that, however, none of my applications would work and if I try to view the Applications folder, I get the message "The folder 'Applications' could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges."
There is only one account on the laptop and it has administrator privileges. II logged out & back in with no change, and rebooted with no change. I can't run any utilities, System Preferences, etc. Suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary

Find your Install DVD and run Disk Utility (you'll find it on the Utilities menu). Select First Aid, and since you're there, "Repair Disk". Run it again if it says it fixed something, until it says it "appears to be OK".
Then, while still in Disk Utility from your Install Disk, run "Repair Permissions". Once that is done, boot normally and run Disk Utility from your Utilities folder, and "Repair Permissions" again.
The installer you were using probably changed permissions on the applications folder while it was doing its thing (naughty!) and this should cure it.

HT201210 I just updated my iTunes and now I get a message that the application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. What happened and how do I fix this? I can't access any of my music now.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However, I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

I created an Apple ID on my iPhone, but I can not download any application because a message appears saying that iTunes can not login.

I created an Apple ID on my iPhone, but I can not download any application because a message appears saying that iTunes store can not login. The strange thing is that my Apple ID works perfectly when I try to access my icloud browser on my iMac and even I join this forum. I login with my ID system icloud without problems! Why can not I download applications? What relationship has between iTunes store and iCloud?

You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

I just updated Creative Cloud to 1.9.1.474, and my entire CC folder just disappeared. And I can't access any of my 18GB of files on the web. What the hell is going on?

CC says it's re-syncing all 18 GB of my files back to my HDD. I'm on crappy wifi in southern Peru, and I can't access any of my work files for (CC estimates) 22 hours. I'm basically out of business for a day or more. How the hell can Adobe allow this to happen?

With the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown). The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
This occurs once, after the last update completes.
The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to. If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

I can't access any of my files or even a new blank project

I'm working with RH 8. I have also installed the critical updates.
I cannot access any of my RH projects. At first I could access the project I'm currently working on. I could not access any of my other projects.
So, I reinstalled the critical updates. However, when I reinstalled I only got the window above. I clicked next.
After i reinstalled I can't access any of my projects, including the one I could access before. I cannot access RH and just create a new project either. Can someone help.
Thank you.
I also got the message that my current file was more current than the version of RH. It seems that the update didnt' take.

Hi there
Question here. What is your operating system? Windows Vista or 7 maybe?
I ask because you said your projects were on your C drive. Normally that's excellent and where you want projects to be. But I've found that if I am using Vista and I try to save something to the root ( C:\ ) from some applications, I'm blocked and see issues with the application. So my thought is that if you are attempting to work directly from the root and you are on Vista, that may explain things.
Normally I suggest folks create a folder named Projects right off the root of C:\ and create a folder inside the Projects folder to house any project.
Cheers... Rick

I just downloaded a program, but now can not open any applications...? I can't open any files or any programs. How would I go about fixing this?

hey, writing this from my phone. Please pardon how everything is typed. Quick question. Just downloaded the pear square on program. But now I can not open any applications. I beloved the message that popped up was something along the lines of 'do not have permission to access" ...so... I don't know whether or not I downloaded a virus or not. I was also obviously wondering how I might go about fixing this? -Thank you for your timeo

Pear square one program

Why can't access my application from different IP region.

I use the default configuration in the installation process.
software package is as_windows_x86_101300_disk1.zip
All the servers have IP address like 10.37.71.***
after i deploy my application server, local machine can access my application and other servers can access it.
But the users with ip 10.37.88.*** can't access my application and internet users can't access it too. They only can access the default home page of ias, and can't access em too.
I don't know what the problem is.
Another problem is that, if i change the defaultWebApp from "default" to "myApp", the service can't be started. I want to know how to set myapp as the default application.

I installed the oracle application server 10g using default configuration. and didn't modify any configuration file.
The installation package is downloaded from oracle web-site without license. has it any difference from the package delivered by oracle.

I can't open any application

I tried formatting my sansa player while working on my macbook pro. Since I did that I can't open any application at all. I click on them but nothing happens. I can only use the finder. I tried the disk utility but no joy. Could you please help???

Have you run "Repair Disk" from your install disks?
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc or Install Disk 1 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.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.

I can't open any applications on my old Imac G5

Hi!After I reinstalled the original OSX 10.3 on my old Imac G5 20 inch. bought in2005, I can't open any applications and access my files. How do I fix that? Thanks! Michel D

Hi! Brian
Thanks for your reply!
I reinstalled the OS 10.3 from the original disks i got when I purchased the G5. I can't open anything. I can't even see any files that I had before the reinstallment. Ithey must be there still because the hard drive shows that I have only 15Gigs of space left out of the 150 G of the total capacity. When I click on the apps icons at the bottom of the sceen nothing happens. I also tried to install the most recentOS for that machine (OSX 10.5 leopard), the installment starts but stalls after a while, the little coloured wheel starts spinning for ever. I womder if there's some hardware problem!!! This has been a great machine and i'd like to keep it alive.Thanks for any input.
Cordialement!

Can I apply any application patch when all application services are down?

Hello All,
Can I apply any application patch when all application services are down?
Reg
Chirag Patel

Definitely you can. On some operating system (like Windows), if relinking is part of the patch then you cannot apply patches unless Application services are down.
Whenever we apply a patch, we enable maintenance mode through adadmin, this would stop users from accessing the application during patch installation. However, you still can use "adpatch options=hotpatch" to apply a patch without enabling maintenance mode.

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

How can i gain access to my data on a Time Capsule after a fresh install of Mavericks? I can't access any backups through Time Machine... They appear purple/transparent, and I can't even select them to view their contents. PLEASE HELP!!!

So, I've got several thousand photos, and a decent amount of videos of my daughter, along with a lot of stuff for work stored on my Time Capsule, and now I can't access any of it. I did a fresh install of Mavericks on my MacBook Pro last week sometime, and haven't been able to figure out how to get my files back. Please Help!!! My daughter is 2 and a half, and every picture/video I have of her is locked on this thing. I was planning on making some photo/video projects fo my wife for Christmas, and now I'm definitely not going to be able to pull it off. Her birthday is at the end of January, though, so if I could have it by then, that would rule!
Basically, the bar on the right of the screen has some gray dates, which I can access (all backups after the Mavericks install), and purple dates that go all the way back to March (when I originally purchased and began using the TC) which deny me access/viewing. It's possible that I created a slightly different user name when I reset my MacBook, which I guess is most likely the cause, but I have no idea what to do now to correct it. Thanks for taking the time!

Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.
