Compressor won't open now

After the last pro applications update, my compressor won't open. It bounces on my dock for a minute and then closes. I've repaired permissions and deleted the preference file, but to no avail. Ideas?

I'm thinking it's a binding issue with the apps library files.
try running one of the many maintenance apps out there for OS X. All they really do is trigger OS X to do its own maintenance routines. The 'pre-binding' thing is one of them and I think is at fault. I had the same problem with a different app but i"m not sure if this fixed it or not, was a loooong time ago.

If you reinstall, use this tool – a free down load from Digital Rebellion.

My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite. They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

Help Compressor won't open!

Hi,
I had to reinstall FCStudio 2 on my iMAC. Now Compressor just won't open anymore.
I tried all the steps suggested by Apple (Disk Permissions, trashing Preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling Compressor). Nothing seems to work. It was working fine just yesterday.
It drives me nuts, and I'm also in a real timecrunch for an internet web series.
Any suggestions?

I too could not get Compressor 3 to open- I tried this:
Went to Logic Studio Install DVD and found the installer/Packages folder, installed the following:
Compressor.mkpg
PluginManager.pkg
Qmaster.mkpkg
(some of these install other packages too, btw)
And it now works...
Tip off was detail in error report: could not find PluginManager.framework stuff in Library/Frameworks
Maybe this will help... Maybe I was lucky.

PS
I did not delete any files anywhere

My twitter app won't open now that I got iOS 7, how do I get it to work?

Stacked Microsoft Apps. Won't open now.

I recently just stacked icons in my toolbar on my MacBook Pro. When I went to stack my Microsoft Office apps, I went to the applications folder and dragged the black Microsoft folder to my dock. Now the apps won't open--from my toolbar or the app folder. I tried restarting my computer and they still aren't opening. I tried opening a different document and that didn't work either. Help?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.

I Downloaded new version of ITunes - won't open now.

What a fiasco. Everything was working fine until I bit on the message to "update my IPod software". I finally succumbed to that then everything went to (*&(. After the IPOD update, my Itunes would not open my IPOD even though the device manager recognized it. So, I went to Apple support and downloaded the new Itunes. It won't open and my IPod is hosed - file folder with exclamation point. I even tried reloading the Itunes disk I got with the original purchase in 04/2005. Didn't work. I am on my third IPod since 04/2005 and it looks like I may need to send this one in also. But, I need to get Itunes up and running. I would restore my IPod if it was recognized. HELP.

top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

CS4 won't open now

Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

Do you have SoundFlower installed?
Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

Tried to upgrade as suggested. Firefox won't open now, says my Mac isn't a compatible version. How do I get the old Firefox system back?

Went to open Firefox this morning. It said I should upgrade to the new Firefox. I downloaded as requested. When complete, I tried to open Firefox and it said the new version isn't compatible with my older Mac. How do I get the older version of Firefox on my system and get rid of the new one that won't open??

Instagram won't open now

Yesterday Instagram did one of its upgrades. Immediately after the upgrade I tried to open it and it keeps geting to this screen and closing.
I tried turning the phone off and restarting. No luck. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Instagram twice. No luck. What's going on here?

Hi there jefffromsunrise,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It looks like the Instagram app is not working as expected after updating.
You have tried several good troubleshooting steps already (restarting iPhone, and reinstalling app), and this article recommends contacting the app developer for more help if the preceding steps do not solve it:
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
If you see this issue again, contact the app developer for help:
Find the app in the App Store.
Tap the app, then tap Reviews.
Tap App Support under App Store Ratings.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

1.5.6 library won't open now that I download the 2.0 trial

I downloaded the 2.0 trial when it came out and put a few files in it to play around with. I left the 1.5.6 application on the computer since the 2.0 trial wouldn't allow me to use the 1.5.6 library. I would drag the 1.5.6 library onto the 1.5.6 application in the dock, however, though I used the 1.5.6 library with 1.5.6 earlier today I can not now load it in 1.5.6. A little popup comes up and tells me that i can't use it because it is a newer library, yet if I try to load it in 2.0 it won't let me update the library.
I NEED the 1.5.6 library as it houses all my photos. My vault is on another drive, one ironically that I can not get to at the moment (location redundancy).
What can I do?

I retained Aperture 1.5.6 when I activated Aperture 2.0, too. I renamed the older version by adding the version number.
When I double-click on the icon for either version of Aperture it attempts to open the last library that was used by either version. I get around the problem by right-clicking (or Ctrl-clicking) on the library icon instead, then choosing which version of Aperture to use from the dropdown menu.

Some of my apps won't open now with OS X YOSEMITE upgrade,.

I upgraded to OS X Maverick, then to OS X Yosemite, and now I can't open some of the pre-installed apps. that came with the system. I'm getting the message: 'You can't use this version of ... with this version of OS X." PLEASE HELP. I'm very limited on my knowledge of Macs. Thank you.

Updated - 6.0.5 just won't open, now old versions won't either

Okay, so I already had a topic posted, but REALLY REALLY want to get my itunes working again on that PC, and would really like some other thoughts and options.
I've tried just about everything.
Here's a brief synopsis of what happens and things I can think of off the top of my head that I've tried.
okay, so 6.0.4 was working fine, decided to upgrade to 6.0.5.2 and when I click on itunes to open, the TOS agreement comes up and asks me to agree or decline (NOTE: this is not a "brief flash", it stays on the screen until I click either accept or decline.....Other note: This doesn't happen when opening quicktime, quicktime opens just fine). After I click accept, the window closes and nothing happens (except that the itunes process then runs and pretty much locks up my system (i.e. I can't open any other program or shut down...I try to kill the process and it won't shut down, so I can to manually power off the tower)).
I've tried uninstalling every single apple related component and reinstalling, same problem...tried QT standalone....same problem....tried running a walware utility (ewido, adaware, spyware doctor, others...same problem). I've tried a registry cleaner (regvac...great program)...same problem.
I've tried msconfig....same problem.
I've even tried going back to version 5 of itunes, and I now get the same problem.
Here's an update to the old problem...so whatever 6.0.5 changed, I now cannot open realone player, or real jukebox after trying to install that (I HATE WIN MEDIA PLAYER and was searching for another option while itunes is down on that system).
I've tried opening another windows profile...same problem.
I'm wondering if I might want to delete my old library profile and if that MIGHT be causing some sort of problem (as that's pretty much the only apple/itunes related piece left on my system after I clean up and try to reinstall).
Any thoughts?? ANYBODY?? B Noir maybe??
Sorry for the long winded post, but I just want to let everyone know EVERYTHING that I've tried

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! JUST WANTED TO UPDATE Y'ALL THAT BY SOME STROKE OF HEAVENLY GLORY, ITUNES DECIDED TO WORK AGAIN!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
How did I do it you ask??
after all the stuff I updated you about, I tried one last time to install....still didn't work...so once again I wiped my system of everything itunes and apple related
well today I was trying to watch a video that required me to get the quicktime plug in, and it too me to a page that was a quicktime install + itunes 7.blah blah blah instead of the other way around
well, don't ask me why, but low and behold
IT WORKS!!!!
I HAVE MY ITUNES BACK!!! (JUMPS FOR JOY)
Just wanted to share my shear elation

Apple Software won't open now (Safari, Mail, Dashboard)

I downloaded iTunes and Quicktime updates yesterday. I went to open Apple Mail, and it opened all my previously opened messages, and then automatically closed. Safari did the same thing. It opened, briefly, but then automatically closed. Both apps told me an error occurred and asked if I wanted to Close or Reopen. Reopen just duplicated the problem.
This morning I went to Dashboard, and one by one, all my open dashboard items game me an error. Now when I switch to dashboard, my board is empty.
I used Disk Tools to repair permissions and restarted. No change.
I have a second internal drive with 10.4.9 on it so I restarted off that drive. My intention was to run first aid, but first I wanted to update to the same os version, so did a software update to get it to 10.4.10. It updated the security patch OK, but the 10.4.10 update gave me an error and said it could not be installed. I tried it again. Same error. I then tried to restart, and that system, which was VERY clean system, now doesn't even start up. I had to startup off of a CD to get back to my original system, which, still won't let me open Safari or Apple Mail.
Please help!! Thank you!

Nice thought! But alas I have 18 gig available on my primary 140 gig internal drive. I should also note that the applications also have problems under my other user accounts. However all users share the same applications folder. I tried copying just Safari app to user applications folder, but it still crashes. I checked the console log and both safari and mail are indicating crash on Thread 0. Safari crash reporter log shows;
