Cannot Launch Microsoft or third-party applications!

I am not sure exactly what happened (I think the problem started after some automatic update)...but now I cannot launch Microsoft Office, AIM, or any non-apple applications. I click on the icon on the dock, the icon bounces once, and then nothing happens. I have tried creating new user accounts, and uninstalling and reinstalling the programs, but again, the same thing happens...it will not launch. Is there anything I can do..I'm desperate!
Thanks.

I am having the same problem...and I am pretty sure it happened when I update Office for Mac...because after the update I could not get any office application to start, so I uninstalled then tried to reinstall but was unable to do so. Somehow Zinio also got fouled, and now I can not get/read any of my online magazines. Any help would be very much appreciated! I keep my Mac (17 mbp) completely up to date by running software update weekly, so am not sure that comboupdate will work. Help!?

How do I disable auto-launch of third party applications (i.e. TeamViewer) at startup?

I've loaded a few third party applications like TeamViewer which installed themselves as startup applications which I cannot disable in the system preferences login items. The obvious answer is don't load these apps but that being said, how do I disable them now that they are loaded without uninstalling to prevent them from launching automatically during startup. I can quit them after they launch but I'd like to prevent them from auto-starting during startup. Any insight would be appreciated.

Look in TeamViewers preferences for this:
Uncheck it.

My third party applications keep de-activating. How do I fix this?

Hi everyone!
I am wondering if anyone can be of help to me. I am desperate.
I upgraded to Mavericks and am currently on version 10.9.5.
I have numerous third party applications...to name the two important ones,
most of them are video effects from New Blue FX and the other ones are just like converters etc.
I have had no problems with them in the beginning when I upgraded to Mavericks and
certainly no problems before Mavericks. Now all of a sudden, every time I try to use
these applications, it keeps saying that I am running on trial version and that I need
to activate the product with the activation code. This has never happened before and
it certainly has not got to do with a certain app as it is happening with all my applications
that require an activation code. I have to keep activating the apps everyday so that I can
use them and it is becoming really annoying and I don't know how to fix this.
I am sure it is something simple as my computer has been absolutely GREAT since
I have updated to Mavericks. Everything has been so much faster and just amazing until
this new problem. This is the only problem I have. I have checked and I have done ALL updates.
I am a video editor and I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and these continuous activations are
really not helpful for me when I am trying to concentrate and use my effects.
But like I said, it cannot be just the effects I use for adobe as applications that
are not associated to adobe at all are being affected as well.
If you guys could help me, it would be greatly appreciated!
I am really desperate! By the way, I am working on an iMac with Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.5.
Thank you so much!

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.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
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.

☞ 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).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

ALL third-party applications crash upon save, open, or save as

Okay everyone, this is an odd one.
I recently installed photoshop CS6. However, when I try to save my documents in CS6, CS6 freezes, then crashes without an error report. The same thing happens if I try to open or 'save as' a document. However, if the document was created in Gimp, I can right-click the image in finder, click 'open with' Photoshop, and then something weird happens - File>open still doesnt work (but I don't need it to, as I've opened the image I need) File>save as still crashes - but File>save and Command-S work fine.
I've spent the last few weeks searching for an answer on the adobe forums and found nothing that has solved my problem. And then, something else happened.
Today I installed Python 3.3. Brand new, fresh installation. Started up my IDLE and typed in some code, then hit command-S.
The same thing happened - Python 3.3 froze, then crashed, also without an error report. The exact same symtoms.
This got me thinking, so I opened up Openoffice 4. This had been installed on my mac by my school's ICT services, and had never been opened before - a fresh installation. Once again, saving a document in openoffice 4 also caused it to freeze, then crash.
So, I took my mac into the ICT department and got them to have a look at it. They recommended repairing my disc permissions - which I did - and then, if that didn't work, reinstalling Maveriks.
I'm currently typing this on my mac, having spent the last 3 hours downloading and installing a fresh copy of Maveriks, and still I have the same problem. Any third-party applications freeze and crash when I try to save.
As I am the only user of my computer, I always run applications from an administratior account. Creating a new admin account hasn't helped.
All of these applications work when I'm running in safe mode.
My educated guess is that it's something to do with finder.
Whenever photoshop CS6 crashes, it's when a finder window should appear - for example, so I can choose a name for my new document, or select a document to open. But if the image was opened with finder's right-click, open with Photoshop, then CS6 doesnt have to open a finder window. If the image has already been created, CS6 doesnt have to open a finder window when I hit Command-S.
But I have no clue how to fix it.
This guy (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16595546#16595546) seems to have a similar problem to me, and he fixed it by moving all his items off his desktop. I've done that, but the problem persists.
Adobe (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/crash-using-open-save-dialog-mac.html) suggests that my viewing options in finder could be the problem. I've tried the solution described in the article above, and the problem persists.
Please, I need to be able to use Python and CS6 for my schoolwork! Help me if you can!
Help me, (your name here), you're my only hope!

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

Third Party Application Called TuneUp Lost Ringtone Icons/Ability to Buy

Okay, I purchased and installed a third party application that is supposed to help iTunes get album art and other things. All was going well until i did their latest, greatest update and now I cannot see any Ringtones icons in the field that shows if ringtones are available in iTunes purchased songs. I still have my "purchased ringtones, but I don't have the ability to purchase anymore on songs that are eligible.
I've uninstalled TuneUp, reinstalled a fresh version of iTunes, but still not joy. How to I burn iTunes to the ground without losing my entire music library?

Right that is the point. I had a whole slew of eligible songs purchased from iTunes in my library that now are not available for purchase. For example I just purchased two songs that have the icon in the iTunes store. After I purchase them the icon in the "Bell" ringtone column is not showing for the songs that should be eligible. The only recent change I've made is this third part application. So I am thinking this has messed with my library somehow.

Need to Allow Certain Third-Party Applications via MDM

I just deployed a computer lab of iMacs and Minis and am using Yosemite/Server 4 to manage them. All computers are running 10.10.1
I Profile Manager>Restrictions, I want to allow users to use many native OS X applications but additionally I need to allow a handful of third-party applications to run.
In Restrictions>Apps I have the option to "Restrict which apps are allowed to launch" and then create an allow list but it only allows native apps to be added. There is the option to allow and disallow folders, but no indication of where (Users or Mac HD Level) or how (naming and file path) those folders should be configured.
Can anyone give me some resources or pointers here?
I will add that this is my first OS X server deployment. I am well versed in the AD environment as well as the OS X as operating system.

Negative. I want to allow users to open a specific list of applications--both native and third-party while disallowing others. For example: I want to be able to open Safari, Pages, Net Beans and Google Chrome but not Terminal, FaceTime, and Photo Booth.

How do you make third party application window backmost using labview

Hi Guys
I know i can do whatever i want on labview windows.i can make third party application window frontmost.
But How to make third party applicaiton window backmost using labview.
Thanks

Hi wenjie1wang,
I have attached an example that uses the "Call Library Function Node" that accesses the "user32.dll" file that is responsible for manipulating with the windows such as minimising it.
After opening the VI you have to enter the name of the window you want to minimise, you can hard code that as a constant. Also on the front panel the control "nCmdShow" can be changed to dictate the action you want to do with the window.
Furthermore, please look at the Microsoft Developers Network to find more useful ways to use the property node in your project.

Let me know if this works.

Ios crash report due to a third party application

My son was watching something on his iPhone (5c) iOS 7.1.2 and received this message in Safari "http://supportcallnow.com 'warning!! iOS Crash Report' " Due to a third party application in your phone, iOS crashed. Contact Support for an immediate fix - 1800-523-2251.
Fairly sure this is a virus or at least a scam. Have already tried to reset by holding the power and square down until the apple icon appears, but to no avail. I cannot get the message off of the Safari screen .
Help!

I just had the same "scam" this evening. I got the Safari message: "http://supportcallnow.com 'warning!! iOS Crash Report' " Due to a third party application in your phone, iOS crashed. Contact Support for an immediate fix - 1-800-480-4170. I too called the phone # to see what was going on. It went straight on hold when I called (didn't ring) and then when someone came on the line, it was a woman who I could barely hear due to the noise in the background. She stated that my ios crashed and was no longer something on my iPhone5S and that a 3rd party was at that time taking all my info. off my phone (nice "scare tactic" eh?). She then said for $80 though she could reinstall ios and just needed my credit card # (yeah, ooooookkkay). So I said that was ridiculous as I had been using apps and my phone the whole time I was talking to her on speaker and said I would call Apple Support directly. She told me they would say the same thing about having to pay to have ios reinstalled on my phone. I said I highly doubt it and told her I wouldn't pay the money and that she was essentially full of crap. She then said (prob after realizing I wasn't buying any of it) "OK ma'am" and hung up on me.
Adamfrombessemer's advice works if you're surfing sites and get a "ios Crash Report" message in Safari on your iPhone like I did!
1. Place the phone in Airplane mode.
2. Go to Settings > Safari > And Clear History and website Data
3. Reopen safari and all will be gone. Turn off Airplane mode.
Definite scam!

Third party application forcing java stack to restart when logged in through SSO

Hi
We have APW Third party application installed on Enterprise portal 7.4.
When we tried to login APW portal through SSO it forces Java stack services to restart.If we use APW directly without SSO it works fine.
Can you help me tto resolve the issue.

Hi Manish,
Please check the configuration once agian about the third party connection and the portal.
Also provide the "dev_server0" which under in directory /usr/sap/SID/J00/work and default trace which under in “/usr/sap/SID/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/log" to analyze the issue. There is some other tool as well to check the issue using "httpwatch" log tool. But, mostly issue can be identified in dev_server0 or defalut trace".
Thanks,

How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi. How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share? I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up. I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
Thanks,
KMQ7

This would really be the "Holy Grail" right now. I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application. In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment. For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link

Share an iCal calendar without a third party application

After perusing the iCal discussion forum, it seems that the only way to "share" a calendar with another person (whether or not they have a MobileMe account) is to use Google Calendars or some other third party application. It seems like there would be a lot of users that want to "share" calendars and not just publish their calendars for others to see. The most common situation seems to be the sharing of a calendar with a spouse. Google makes this possible without charging a cent and you don't even have to dig to figure out how to do it. Naturally, because I love my Mac and the way all of my Apple programs interconnect, I want to avoid a third party solution. Is there a solution to this problem built into iCal (or maybe something to do with MobileMe) that I have simply overlooked? If not, how can we get Apple to include this feature in a future update of iCal?

Hi James!
I just spent the weekend setting this up for me and my wife. Unfortunately, you MUST use a 3rd party application. Like you have, I have spent the last month doing extremely refined Google searches in the hopes I would find the answer.
So, I migrated our calendars to Google and this seems to be working well. Synchronization is not as instantaneous as MM but every 5 minutes is not that bad.
