Can't open Home or Apps from Dock
Hi all,
I've just done an Archive & Install and now can't open the Home or Applications folders from the Dock. When I click on them in the Dock, an icon that looks like a cassette tape appears for a second, then disappears. I can open Home and Apps from the HD folder on my desktop.
Any ideas?
Thanks heaps,
Andrew
I can put the Applications and Home icons in the Dock (next to the Trash) but neither folder will open from there. I have to go to my Mac HD folder on the desktop to open both. It seems there's some problem with the shortcut, but the actual folders are there and open OK, just not from the Dock.
Yes, Trash opens fine.
If it sheds any light, I'm noticing strange things since doing the Archive & Install. For example, Column View doesn't stick (after setting it in Apple > Dock > Dock Preferences to 'always open in column view') and I'm unable to download Acrobat Reader (it returns an error message saying it's not compatible with my system). And others things I won't bore you with...

I can't open any windows app from yesterday in my windows 10 version 9879.
all of the windows app(metro app)...
It's urgent...
can anyone help me?
银光。。。。Are you having the same problem where either Email app won't open up or the PC Settings keeps blinking but refusing to stay up?
I've tried a restart but nothing changed. So, I'll guess we'll have to wait patiently until they find a solution for the next big patch/Windows update.
I get the feeling that recent update may have done a little harm than progress but guess that's why it's still in the Beta stages before release. -

I can not open the mac app store in any way from my mac book pro

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

Drag it further away and it should release. It used to be that you just had to drag it off a little bit for it to delete. The new behaviour got introduced at some point in Mountain Lion.

Spaces opening random app from dock
I'm using spaces (9). Different space for different app (iTunes, Mail, etc). When I want to move some file/folder from one space to another one, I grab the file activate spaces (in my right top corner of my screen) move on correct space and press spacebar (it activate the space immediately). At that moment random app from dock is started.
What is wrong? How can I avoid this? It is very annoying.(oh darn - I am sorry - somehow I got this into the wrong thread... Please ignore)
You might try launchd which takes over many tasks of cron as well as other stuff, and to use it you might try Lingon, http://sourceforge.net/projects/lingon/files/, although it is now out of development. I used Lingon last year and found it quite useful, whether or no it is happy under SL I do not know. But there are lots of examples on the web about how to set up an agent for launchd and it might provide an alternative.
An iCal event is probably the easiest though, and you can hook in an automator script to make things really exciting.

I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!
I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder. -
my app store will not open. when i try to open it i get an error that reads "You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete". How can I fix this?
I am having the exact same problem. MacForums has been helping me, and I called Apple. After trying everyone's suggestions, and Apple's, no success.
My App Store app still says "incomplete or damaged." There is even a circle with a line through it on the icon. Apple said reinstall my Snow Leopard upgrade disc (not my original Leopard disc) and then run the Combo Update (like your suggestion). Did not work. I also updated the software from "Software Update". Rebooted.
I think this started after I replaced my hard drive with a SSD and moved the hard drive to where the DVD was. I wonder if the person above who had the same problem also installed a SSD?
Anyway, anymore ideas? Even Apple is stumped.
(In answer to the other post above, my Quicktime works fine.)

Just did some more reading. I was going by the icon in the dock. When I checked in Finder, there it was, fixed and brand new!! Thanks, anyway.

Error "You can't open the application App Store.app be cause it may be damaged or incomplete"
Using OSx 10.6.8 When I try to open app store it gives error "You can't open the application App Store.app be cause it may be damaged or incomplete" Does anyone know a way to re-install App Store.app ?? Thx
Have you tried opening them directly from the Applications folder, rather than the Dock?

I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the affected app "unexpedtely quits", showing a window (sort of expanded dialog box) with the log history, wich form a complete report wich is said to be sent to Apple. Despite that this window has a "restart" button, I haven't been able to go any further from this point, as it repeats the process again and again, impeding me to use the affected app.
This has get to a critical point, as it is afecting apps like iTunes (especifically when I turn to the iTunes Store from within te app), MacApp Store, Software Updates (I can't update anything, given this problem) and many other apps, including Aperture 3, Fusion 4, integrated Dictionary and Wikipedia, as I've been able to verify.
As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't affected apps like Office, Vectorworks, Pixelmator, iDraw, Quick Note...
Can anybody help me on this matter?
Thanks a lot, in advance...

I just bought a used 1st Generation Apple iPad 64 GB, 3G. How can I open an Apple App account? I am trying to download a free app and it says I have to have an account, however, everytime I try to set up a new account I can fill only fill out some of the information but then the screen goes black and I cannot proceed with the account. At one point it said "no sim card" and I am not sure where one would go if I had one. Do you need a sim card to download free apps? Why won't it let me set up an Apple Account? Any suggestions?
I can think of no reason at all why you need a sim card to creat an Apple ID. Try this first - reboot the iPad and reset the memory.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Afte the iPad starts up again, follow the directions in this support article - exactly - to creat the account without a credit card.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
IF ... You are signed into another Apple ID on the iPad you will have to sign out of that ID in order to create a new one. Settings>Store - you can sign out there.
You MUST try to download a free app in order to start the process off correctly. If you were using an email address with another ID that you already created, you will have to have another email address to associate the new ID with. -
Is there a way to open the settings app from an air app on both iOS and android?
Since you can't change the notifications settings within the app, is there a way to simply open the settings app from an air app? like a link or something like that?
Even on iOS this has only recently been added by Apple for iOS 8 only using the line:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];
So you would have to wrap this in an ANE and then again, only for iOS and only call it in iOS 8+ -
Can't Open 3rd party Apps with my User (Icon Bouncing then Application Not Responding)
Hi
Problem:
I can't Open 3rd Part Apps with my user (FireFox, Chrome, Dropbox, GoogleDrive, Mega, Final Cut Pro X, etc) they just star bouncing and after a while they stop bouncing then i righ click on them and it says "Application Not Responding", but i can open native apps like Safari, iTunes, iMovie, Finder, Settings
Other Events:
-Just Before this happend i was editting a video on FCPX, y export it and tried to upload to Google Drive (in Chrome), when it was uploading I closed FCPX and the uploading stop it at 91%, y tried to reupload but then I realized that this video was in a temp folder and it wasnt there anymore, so I open FCPX to export it again and i couldnt, it was just bouncing and then "App not responding".
-After Installing Yosemite i feelt it slow even after it finished the encriptation File Vault, specially in chrome.
I have tried:
1-Repair Disk Permisions
2-Reset SMC
3-Reinstall FCPX
4-Decrypted the Disk and create another user and i was able to run Chrome, FireFox and FCPX, When I opened FCPX it started but when it was trying to open the project that i was working , it restarted the app and i couldnt open FCPX again, just bouncing and App Not Responding

You can also clone your system using the shareware app SuperDuper or the donation-ware app CarbonCopyCloner
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
http://www.bombich.com/
Both of these apps will make a true clone (literally, a bit-by-bit copy) of your hard drive onto an external drive. This clone will actually be bootable itself (you plug in the drive and hold the option key during startup then select the clone to boot from). You would boot from the clone, then reverse-clone it back onto your internal hard drive.
If you are really serious about being highly confident of not loosing files, you could use both - I keep a TM backup on one drive, and 2 clones on separate bus-powered hard drives.
P.S. even if you had not had any issues, you really, REALLY should be keeping regular, up to date backups anyway - things go flooey without warning sometimes and you risk loosing everything on your machine if you DON'T keep regular backup copies available. -
Few problems with the dock. Creating App stack, and removing apps from dock
OK.. I am running leopard 10.5.4, and decided I wanted to use the app folder as a stack. I made my new folder with the alias' inside. However, when I went to move it into the dock, 9on the right side of the sizing bar), the other stacks failed to shift out of the way, so I couldn't add it in.
Another problem is that I can't see to remove apps from the dock. I have admin rights, and they are not active, hence the desire to get rid.
Anyone have an idea??Erm... Doh! had dock 'locked' in Onyx...
