Failure to Launch Applications

Yesterday I was able to run all my applications fine but now I can only seem to open a select few (finder, and firefox) others like (pages, iphoto, itunes, skype) will not open and come up with an error box ...... quit unexpectedly. This is very frustrating and I have tried rebooting, using disk utility, checking fonts but none of them worked. Im not sure what has caused this, but if anyone has any suggestions towards a solution that would be great.
Here is copied error report:

I have one major problem with the list of things on that web site.... I'm overseas for two months and my installation CDs are at home.
I have tried rebooting in Safe Mode
I have checked for corrupt fonts
RAM seems to be fine
I have installed Mac OS X Combo Update
I have rebooted my computer a million times (: with my fingers crossed (not working so well)
Is there anything else I can possibly try. My computer is pretty much useless otherwise. I really hope Apple gets onto fixing glitches like this, Im really starting to have second thoughts about buying this macbook. Thanks for any additional advise you may have

P.S. Im not a programer so if you could explain to me in simple terms what Im doing wrong it would be great.
Thanks in advance

Java - Unable to launch application

The problem: When I try to run ASDM on my Cisco 5550, I'm getting the dialog box "Unable to launch application". When I click on "Details", I see the error: "The application has requested a version of the JRE (1.5+) that is not installed".
The system I'm running this on is a Mac Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5, and the latest Java version 7u13.
The initial lines of "show ver" on the firewall are:
# show ver
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(2)
Device Manager Version 6.3(3)
This is a relatively new problem; as recently as two weeks ago I was able to run ASDM with no problem. I suspect that the latest security-related Java updates have caused something to break.
Any ideas?

Solved this one on my own: The solution was to install the latest ASDM, 7.1.1_52. (This had occurred to me, but I didn't know if was compatible with the older ASA 8.2(2). It looks like it is!)

Everytime I try to open a jnlp file i get the Unable to launch application error. I have no clue how to fix this and would like to know a solution. I currently have JRE 6 Update 6. Here is the error info.

I see, you found a solution for this problem. Can you share it with me please, because i am having the same error right now.

Support problem. The adviser tried to diagnose the failure of an application called JOTNOT PRO to update. He said he'd phone back at 8pm. I pick up his call at 8pm. Electronic voice: thank you for calling apple. We are now closed" So now I have 2 problems

Support problem. The adviser tried to diagnose the failure of an application called JOTNOT PRO to update. He said he'd phone back at 8pm. I pick up his call at 8pm. Electronic voice: thank you for calling apple. We are now closed" So now I have 2 problems: the adviser had got me to reset so bye bye wifi passwords and settings. And then when he phones back as we agreed he's not actually on the phone, it's just a voice saying Apple Support is now closed! What on earth is going on at apple support I wonder.
Anyway, the original problem: an application called JotNot Pro fails to update. The error message says something like "you cannot update this cos either you bought it with a different Apple ID or somebody else bought it."
Neither applies. Can anybody help?
PS. This is my first approach to the support community so please bear with me!

You might have better luck contacting the app's support or developers.

Failure to Launch since Leopard install

Since installing leopard 10.5.2 I can't launch idvd (version4). I am constantly given the error message "failure to launch" Any suggestions? Are there any downloads that may be able to fix it?

Hi
NO - there is no solution.
You need a version more modern than iDVD 5 to be able to run under Mac OS X.5 !
No there are no download-fixes.
alt. Partioning the hard disk or use another FW external one with an older Mac OS
and start (boot) from this when doing DVDs.

Failure to launch GoLive 5

Hey,
I have a "failure to launch" message that appears when I try to launch Adobe GoLive 5.0, a message that wasn't there yesterday (..wha?). It reads "Failure to launch GoLive 5 because SCL 2.0 could not be found". I've re-installed GL 5 but am still getting the message. This is an app that I've been running in Classic without a hitch, up til now. Can anyone help me understand what "SCL 2.0" is ?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Do you have a backup to compare your machine to from when it did work? Perhaps you disabled an extensions necessary for it to work.

Adobe X Failure to launch

I downloaded Adobe X, but it refuses to launch. I see the Akamai installer is a 32 bit program, and I guess Acrobat X is too. Can this failure to launch be a conflict with my 64 bit Wndows 7 os?

There is no conflict of Acrobat X with Windows 7 64 bit , we would like to know what exactly is the error message and when did you get it.?

SGD - Fails to launch applications

We are having a problem with SGD - we can not launch applications.
We have SGD 4.2 running on a Solaris 10 server.
We had SGD up and running good. However, we had several things occur and now it does not work. First we had to relocate our server due to building renovations. Then shortly after setting up the system in the new location, we had a hard drive fail. And unfortunately the sys admin guys did not have a good/current backup of the drive. We did however reload a backup that was about 9-months old. However it does not work correctly now.
We can bring up the main SGD web page, can login to the system, and see the applications and function set up in object manager. However when we try to launch an application it fails.
Looking in the error.log file we see a message "failed to open display"
However we can not see how SGD sets the display to enable the application to be viewed over the web connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

It is a good thing to have as much help as possible. One of the other SAs working on the problem entered his google search a little different and came up with this hit: (http://blogs.sun.com/malhar/entry/sun_secure_global_desktop_tarantella -- text below) that fixed our problem. Thought I would post it here for the next person who runs into the same problem.
Sun Secure Global Desktop (Tarantella) "DISPLAY variable not set" error message?
If you've been facing a problem with the erstwhile Tarantella, now Sun Secure Global Desktop (SGD), where you get don't see X applications opening up when you click the link, you're in luck.
I have the solution.
If you are fast enough to click on the "Show Details" button before the application loading window opens and then closes, you will see in the logs that the application cannot open because it finds that the DISPLAY variable is not set.
Also, if you read the documentation, you will see that the admin guide explicitly asks you to NOT set the DISPLAY variable which gets set automatically. So where's the problem?
What you need to do is this:
1. Open the /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tarantella script in your favourite text editor
2. Look for TTASSHCLIENT (this is usually commented out)
You will notice that the line will look something like this
#TTASSHCLIENT="";export TTASSHCLIENT
3. Uncomment the line
4. Add /usr/bin/ssh -X inside the quotes on the line to make the line look like this
TTASSHCLIENT="/usr/bin/ssh -X";export TTASSHCLIENT
And restart!
That's it. You're problem is solved. I accept your thank yous in advance

What launch application do I choose to upgrade to os maverick

I have an Imac with os x 10.6.8 I am wanting to upgrade to maverick, but it is asking for a launch application? What am I supposed to select?

Since you seen not to know too much about upgrading software and knowing where to do this,
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I would strongly advise having, at least 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.
http://roaringapps.com/
If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUoMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of Mavericks by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the Mac App Store.
Good Luck!

Using 'Launch Application' through SDK

Hi,
I want to know if there exists a way of using the 'Launch Application' feature through SDK other than using something like System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("***.exe").
Thanks,
Binita

Hi Binita,
You can use the following code:
oApplication.ActivateMenuItem("523")
oForm = oApplication.Forms.ActiveForm
If oForm.TypeEx = "20100" Then
oForm.Items.Item("3").Specific.Columns.Item("0").Cells.Item(1).Click() '// replace 1 with whatever row you want
oForm.Items.Item("1").Click()
End If

Something sketchy.
I had the same message appear. It resized my window to the smallest possible size (not minimize!) and when I resized it larger, it had opened a new tab with that message. It was on "c510a1.minersaver1.com" which sounds like a related site. It tried to download "avmast_2004-4_mst5.exe"and I was going to try and refind this site on my Linux box, but forgot to save the exact URL (oops!).

Launch Application Error in PC Suite in XP Laptop

Hi
I can download PC suite onto Windows XP laptop and use all its functionality with my 6230 phone
But when I end my laptop session and logout I cannot use any of the functionality when log back into my laptop
Get launch application error
When I download PC suite again , all functionality restored but lost again when logout of laptop

Hi,
I think that problem can be releated to internet connection so could you try to start Launch Application when you have internet connection open and also when you do not have disconnected from net. Does problem happen in both cases?
Anyway, I would be nice to get some log files from Launch application....(then I can try to find reason for this problem)
If you can take those log files, do this:
1. Go to ttp://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html and download Filemon (it is end of the page).
2. Start FileMon.exe and click 'Options', 'Filter/Highlight..' and set string: *Launc* to 'Include' option.
3. Go to http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html and download Regmon (it is end of the page).
4. Start RegMon.exe and click 'Options', 'Filter/Highlight..' and set string: *Launc* to 'Include' option.
5. Start "Launch Application" manually and when you get that error message, save logs from both applications and attach those log files to your response.

Launch Application empty...

Hi,
Running Arch Linux 64bit on Acer 8930G 2.27GHz, 4GB DDR2, 160GBSATA and Nvidia GeForce 9700M GT 512MB using KDE 4.8 desktop environment.
When I clicked on a hyperlink via an email mesage the Launch Application popped up and it is empty.
Is that a bug? How do I fix it?

Clicked a hyperlink from what? What kind of hyperlink was it? HTTP, magnet (a la TPB)?
PS: 37 views because "Launch Application empty..." sounds like dyslexia. Some of them could've been caused by you, like for example refreshing the page a few times.
You shouldn't expect help. Not immediate help, anyway. We're all volunteers here. And Arch is a DIY kind of distribution, where users are encouraged to solve their own problems. It's why you see so many solved topics coming from the Arch forums. It implies a certain mindset.
