Can't open certain apps after 10.10.1 update?

After upgrading to 10.10.1 (Yosemite) today, there's a few apps that I can't open anymore (Safari, iTunes, and possibly a few others).
It seems like all of these apps were open when I started the install (and the computer restarted itself during the upgrade process).
Different user accounts can't open it either (even new ones), and turning off all extensions (hold shift while starting computer) hasn't helped either. Along with repair permissions/disk.
Not sure what's going on.
The crash log is pretty long for each, but they all show this in common towards the beginning:
Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes:       KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
Anyone experiencing this or have any ideas how to go about this? [would really really prefer not to do a clean install]

Understood. But from time to time, I have been required to upgrade certain packages at work separately due to vulnerabilities and bugs (OpenSSH comes to mind), so doing an update that claimed to fix some bugs in the native X11 version seemed to make sense.
Upon further examination, an answer was near the bottom of the very same page I'd just quoted:
+In a few words, you no longer start /Applications/Utilities/X11.app at login or launch the X11.app. You make sure the DISPLAY environment variable is NOT set, and then you simply issue the command, or click on the icon, or whatever, and the rest happens automatically.+
This seems to work: I un-set DISPLAY on my system (and removed it from my profile files), logged out of my sessions, and X apps worked without my explicitly launching X11. It's kind of nice to have X working again without having to first launch X11 by hand (or with launchd, if you can figure that out). I have to say that I'm nervous about seeing DISPLAY paths like this again:
/tmp/launch-RUXNTu/:0
... since the last time I had trouble with SSH, it was because this value was being forwarded on to remote hosts, to which this string doesn't mean a thing. But that doesn't seem to be happening now, for whatever reason.

    Hi,
    Close the App Store app and the iTunes app by pressing the Home button twice, and swiping them up.
    Then go to Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
    Open the apps again.
    I'd recommend as well to sign out and in using Settings > iTunes & App Store

  • Can't redownload certain apps after restoring to an iPad Air

    I recently backed up my iPad2 and restored to a new iPad Air. Certain apps did not come across (HBO Go, The Walking Dead, Files Pro are some of them). When I find them on the app store, there is no icon visible to re-download them.

    More info: After I restored, I did a sync to get the apps copied to the iPad Air. Most of the apps came across just fine. The ones that didn't now show up in the updates section of the store as having available updates, but there is no button next to them to install the update. Finding them in the store itself also shows there is no button to download them.  The complete list of missing Apps is:
    HBO Go
    Files Pro
    Crackle
    Watch TNT

  • Can't open disk images after 10.4.6 update

    I upgraded my computer to 10.4.6 and now I can't open any disk images. I checked my disk in Disk Utility and it said it had errors, so I booted from my installation disk to fix the drive. That worked for about a day, and then the same thing happened again. It says my disk is fine, so I don't think I need to go through the trouble of rebooting and repairing it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Shazzi,
    Have you repaired permissions on your start-up drive using Disk Utility in addition the disk check and repair that you did? By the way, what kind of errors did DU find when you checked and repaired your disk? Did it complete the repair?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • Can't open System Preferences after 10.8.4 update

    After using the App Store to update from 10.8.3 to the current 10.8.4, I can no longer open System Preference or some of my other vital apps. I repaired permissions after disovering this issue as well as rebooting several times. Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    OS X 10.8.4 has damaged some applications. Reinstall 10.8.4 with the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659
    The Combo installer reduces the risk of damage Mac OS X and it allows you to install this update in a lot of Macs with a single download. If the Combo installer doesn't work, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X

  • HT4623 The software update tab is not in my settings but I can't download certain apps as I need to update ???????

    I have been trying to download some apps and it tells me I need to update my iPad. The software update tab is not there in my settings, Why?????

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Can't open iPhoto Library after 7.1.5 update

    Hello.
    I accidently updated my system while my iPhoto library was in a different folder. Now iphoto doesnt recognize it as my library, even though it still has the standard iPhoto library icon. I have iPhoto choose my library file, which is 900 mb, but it says it has zero photos!
    I tried d/l'ing 7.1.4, but when I run the .pkg, it says a newer version of the software is installed, then quits. No duh!
    HELP Please :/
    Ron

    Ron:
    First, to make sure you're opening the correct library launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Choose Library, navigate to your library, select and open it and then close.
    Make a temporary backup copy of the library and run the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I can't open the app even after reinstalation !

    As I said previously, I can't open it even after switched off the iPad, restarted the app and redownloaded it...
    When I launch it, a grey screen appears and then the app crash ...
    Help me please !

    The problems mostly happen when I am using X-Y compare in Library mode. It shows black rectancles over the tops of the sections that contain the photos and these flash. They aren't always the same size, but are only on the top of the section - never big enough to completely cover the photos. Then I get anywhere from one to about four or five extra windows stacked on top of the Lightroom Icon at the bottom of my screen (I use Windows 8) opening and closing, though there isn't enough time for me to click on them and read them because my computer gets so slow that my mouse actin is delayed by a few seconds. And, to shut Lightroom down, I need to use Windows task manager because clicking on the little red box with the X in the upper right corner accomplishes nothing. I have a new Sony Vaio i5 chip and 8Gb RAM. This also hapened on my old computer, though not as often

  • Can't open AppStore and Email app after installing the OSX Update 10.8.3

    Hi there, after I installed the OSX 10.8.3 update I can't open my Email and App Store apps. This is the popup message that appears when i try to open those apps. I tried to reinstall the app but I can't open my App Store. I also downloaded and installed the OSX Update 10.8.3 and the 10.8.2 again from the download support page, but I couldn't solve my problem. Does anyone knows how can i fix it?

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

    Use iTune to update your apps.
    Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

  • Can't open any apps on my mac book pro that i downloaded from the cloud

    can't open any apps in i-tunes on my mac book pro that i downloaded from the cloud

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
