Can't open the app. Quits before it opens.

When I was trying to open my last version of numbers, it quits. Its odd, because I use it a few days ago and everything goes well. It quits even before it appears in the "force quit appilcations" window.
If I have to uninstall it...can I use the clean my mac application?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Remove the Numbers preferences files by:
1) Quit Numbers
2) in the Finder go to the preferences folder by:
- selecting the menu item "Go > Go To Folder...
- paste the path "~/Library/Preferences/ "
3) locate, and move, the following files to the trash (but do not empty):
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.LSSharedFileList.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
4) restart Numbers

Rosetta can have a 2GB RAM "tax" to manage PowerPC code as well as how that affects performance.
I think real world performance shows both statements to be wrong; consider this:
If that were the case, how come Apple does not include that information in its Snow Leopard installation requirements, since Rosetta is an optional install?
Also, running a PowerPC app on an 2011 i7 Mac with Snow Leopard will run faster than running that PowerPC app on a PowerPC Mac.

Since uploading Maverick, my Microsoft apps give an error message "(the app) quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again." However, this does nothing but renew this window. What to do?

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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 at top of the screen. (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. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

HT204053 How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone? Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't

How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone? Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't appear.

Does any music show in the Purchased tab on the iTunes store app on your phone ? Music can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where it can be it will only appear whilst it remains in the store. Do you have your purchases on your computer and/or on a backup of your puchases so that you can sync them to your phone ?

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

Hello - my safari on my ipad2 gives the following message "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"...email works fine and I can download from the app store...seems to just be a safari issue

Marc-
The Safari message is probably telling the truth. Is the problem repeatable at several websites, or is it only with a particular one? If all websites, you may have trouble with your internet connection downloading large amounts of data. Mail messages are relatively small unless there are attachments or embedded images.

I can't access the App Store icon. It opens but a large delta airlines app is superimposed over the top of the App Store updates icons and is locking the entire app. How do I delete it?

I can't access the App Store app. When I tap the Icon, a large Delta airlines app is superimposed over the top of everything and freezes up the entire App Store. how can delete this large app and where did it come from.

Quit the App Store app and reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I downloaded iBooks but there's no icon to open it, and I can't uninstall because I can't access the app. How do I either open it or uninstall and reinstall?

When I downloaded iBooks no icon appeared on the homepage, so I can't uninstall to reinstall, nor can I access the app. How can I do either of these?

If you're sure you downloaded it, and the app was actually installed, try using the search function to find the app. Tap your homekey once to get to the search screen (or swipe to the left one screen over from your left-most home screen), then type in iBooks.
If search doesn't locate iBooks, then the app wasn't installed. Try restarting your iPad. (Don't just put it to sleep and wake it up again; shut it down then turn it back on.)

I purchased Learn OS X and I have the payment receipt but I can't find the app on my computer so that I can open it. Thanks

The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

How can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

how can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

Apps downloaded through iTunes will only run on iOS devices such as iPhones, iPod Touch, and iPads. Plug your device into your computer, open iTunes, and click on it in the bar either at the top or the left side. Then, click apps at the top, and click install next to the app you want installed.
If you are looking for apps to run on your Mac, you need to download them through the Mac App Store, not through iTunes.

I haveabout 7 App's that I Need to update.
However, when trying tot do so,the message I get is 'Can't download the app' (in Dutch).
The App, however, such as Pages, is no longer opening and can't be used.
What can I do to complete the updating process and start using the Apps again?

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else. How can I get the app to function again?

I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else. How can I get the app to function again?
This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

This is a followup to my own posting above.
Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted. I deleted the app from iTunes. Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes. I said yes and then synched.
Readdledocs is now working again. It is no longer frozen. However, I have learned my lesson. I will download only pdf's from now on. I don't think it works so well with epub files. The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch, please help.

I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch.
I already downloaded some applications in itunes, hoping to sync it to my ipod touch. However, there is no button for Apps in my ipod touch.
And in the partitions of my ipod touch memory (music, photos, videos), there is no space for Applications.
Please help, thanks!

Oh this is quite easy to solve!
1) First connect iPod to computer
2) Launch iTunes
3) On the left hand side of iTunes, under Library, there is an Apps header?
4) When you click on that, you should see your downloaded apps?
5) A little lower down, you'll see your iPod under Devices, drag apps over your iPod's list (over the music, photos, videos area as you mentioned), you'll that that area is highlighted, release left mouse button to drop them apps!
6) Copying ensues ...
7) Check iPod
8) Back at iTunes, click on your iPod's name, look at the right side, you'll see a summary page right?
9) At the top of that page, one of the menu item is Apps, click on that and you'll see a replica of sorts of your iPod, unchecking apps (or selecting by checking) and then hitting Apply button below, will apply the changes you made onto your iPod.
10) You can also arrange your iPod from there if you like.
That was a lot of steps, but its pretty simple to perform, and the last few wasn't really neccessary, it does look more impressive to write a long list of steps however.

Can't open the app. Quits before it opens.
