Programs will not open from Dock

I have updated my Macbook Pro with Yosemite which has led to - a lot. Programs will not open from Dock, they are just revealed in Finder. Scrolling with mousebuttons in a browser will zoom instead of scroll, the courser will not change after changing tool in Indesign. Just to mention a few problems i have discovered so far. I think I was an idiot to uppgrade to Yosemite. PLEASE HELP!

Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions, then quit DU and Restart the MBP. If that does not clear the issues, restart again holding the Command and R keys, and from Utilities on the menu bar select Install Mac OS X. That will reinstall Yosemite but leave your content and settings intact. See if that repairs whatever is broken.

But when I try to open with either GB 11 or Logic I get a "The file couldn't be opened" message. Any ideas?

Tricky - PDF file not Opening from Web Browser based application

Hi Guys,
Just a brief history about the issue:
At my client site everything was fine when IE7 was there and everybody were able to open PDF files from web applications in browsers. But after a IE8 upgrade, things changed and customers are facing problems. All are Windows XP SP3 machines
Issue: If they try to open a pdf file from the browser it just stucks at 0% and hangs with "Cancel" button. Even if they try to save that file it tell downloading and hangs again in the screen without downloading the file.
Initial fix:
Open Adobe Reader
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> set the indicator "Display PDF in browser"
-> Reboot the machine
This fix worrked for some people but many user are still experiencing the same thing even after changing the setting many times.
Friends, Is there anything else might be creating the trouble here. Please let me know, and why it is that for some systems it is working and for it is not ?
Thanks,

There was a browser bug with IE in the past that seemed to span several browser versions. It had to do with the interaction of the browser and the webserver. The short version is that I had to toggle the caching option on the folder.
Here's what I ended up doing for my client:
Move their PDF documents into a subfolder called forms and all Flash animations into a subfolder called flash
Marked all folders in the site to "Expire Immediately" (IIS -> highlight root folder -> Properties)
Individually marked the "/forms" and "/flash" folders to toggle this caching option
In this way, it allowed dynamic pages to deliver non-cached content (from the server's perspective) and it allowed binary downloads like Flash animations and PDF files to work as expected without errors. The bug has to do with the cache-negotiation handshaking that goes on between the browser and server.
This may not be what you're seeing but it's good to remember because I've seen it often: the settings that you'd use to optimize a web applications don't seem to work for binary downloads like a PDF document.

Ppt files not opening from server

Hello all,
Strange things are happening;
A MacBook (leopard) places a PowerPoint (ppt) file on the server. It has been made with Microsoft office 2008 and saved as 97-2004 compatibility because there are some co-workers who are not entirely up-to-date.
The files are placed on a 10.5.6 server with AFP, DNS, Open Directory, and SMB running. A client is opening the server share from its Vista client and double clicking the ppt to open it directly from the server, it starts up powerpoint in windows, but then it says "Document cannot be opened/read, do you want to open a copy?"
If so the document opens and can be read. On the server a copy appears.
If the vista client makes a copy of the file to its desktop and opens it from there, there is no problem at all.
Macs have no issue opening the ppt from the share.
Also, if the Windows client first makes a copy of the ppt and then opens it, its all okay. Its like Vista first needs to make the file "windows like" before able to open/edit it.
Repairing disk permissions, updating office with a service pack 2 is not a sollutions. Any1 any ideas?
Many thanks.

Terminal Services pdf files not opening from websites

Since installing the latest version 11.0.0.1, users who are inside Terminal Services cannot open up any pdf files from any websites. Opening up pdf attachments from emails etc is not an issue. But when accessing a pdf file online, it will not display. Outside of Terminal Services, the desktop can display the same pdf file just fine. But our users are mainly inside Terminal Services and I need to find a solution to this issue. Thanks.

Please let us know the following details:
1. The browser being used to view the PDFs.
2. Are the PDFs being hosted on a local server or on a public site. Can you try and see if the following PDF is rendered successfully at your end:
http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/kb/en/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Releas eNote_10.1.2.pdf
3. Are you on a Citrix server. If so, could you let us know the exact version of the Xenapp server being used.

LP9 files not opening from Finder?

Is it just me? Or when you double click on a Logic 9 project in Finder, it opens Logic, but not the file itself, meaning I have to either go to Open Recent (in Logic) or Open... and get it...
Also finding the Low Memory problem a little bit comical. On a 3Ghz 8Core MP with 4GB RAM, why is it struggling at 44.1k with Omnisphere, RMX and Akoustik Piano when it was no issue whatsoever in LP8? I do worry what will happen when it comes to having to bounce parts at 96k for the studio...

Safari Would Not Open From Dock

After installing Leopard, it would open and a few seconds later it would quit. Then I only got the screen that asks if I want to "Report", "Relaunch" or "Ignore." If that happens to anyone else, try this. I trashed the Safari icon from the dock, and pulled the icon from the Apps into the dock and then it worked fine.

Did you do an upgrade? If so, the dock icon may have been the old Safari.

App store won't open from dock

app store will not open from dock. it just bounces and never opens. I have 4 updates I cannot update either.

Absolutely do not install "Onyx" or any other so-called "utility."
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. 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 by pressing command-V.

Safari won't open from dock after upgrading to leopard

I've upgraded from OS X 10.4.11 Tiger to OS X 10.5.2 Leopard with the upgrade DVD which arrived today and all the available Software Updates (which included a Safari update). No more Software Updates are available - I've checked.
Safari and Mail will now not open from the Dock. Neither will iChat, AddressBook, iDVD (which produces a pop-up saying it "quit unexpectedly" - it didn't appear to start at all), and iCal. Safari and Mail WILL open from my Applications folder thankfully. I haven't checked the other mentioned applications, except iDVD which does the same non-opening with pop-up from Applications too.
I have run permissions verification and permissions repair from Disc Utility on the Mac HD. I have run disc verification from there too and the result said the disc appears OK. Neither solved the Dock problem.
The icons in the Dock don't bounce or anything. They remain still and un-animated. I just get a pop-up message saying "You cannot use the application "Safari.app" with this version of Mac OS X". Which surprises me as it's a native Apple Mac application isn't it? Obviously it says "Mail.app" for mail, "iChat.app" for iChat etc.
I reinserted the Leopard installation DVD and installed all the applications from the Optional Install.mpkg folder, including Safari and Mail. This has made no noticeable difference: they still won't open from the dock. I have just noticed that an additional icon for Safari appears at the far (right hand) end of the dock when I open it from Applications. But it disappears when I close Safari, so no good for opening it.
It could be worse, I can actually open some of the applications from my Applications folder. But this is inconvenient and besides, it is supposed to work from the Dock.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Can anyone help me to solve it please?
I have backed-up (not using time machine - I backed-up before I upgraded). I hope to avoid having to erase and reinstall but I will IF that will solve this problem (and not cause any others
Help please. Thanks.

Hi
Dock icons are simply alias. The ones on your dock may be corrupted, especially since you can open Safari from the applications folder. To remove an icon, right click on it and select "remove from dock", or simply drag it off the dock, where it will disappear in a puff of virtual smoke.
Then, go to the Finder and single-click/hold any item you want on the dock. Drag it there.
Try Safari or the other apps again.
Specific to the Leopard upgrade, important any 3rd party items installed in your system are Leopard compatible, otherwise you'll have operational problems when using them.
One other thought. It is possible the Dock is corrupted, causing the problem. If the above does not resolve the problem, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. There, move the com.apple.dock.plist and com.apple.dock.db files to the desktop, then relaunch the Finder (hold down the option/command/esc keys to reveal the Quit Panel. Select the Finder>relaunch.

Mail doesn't open from dock

mail doesn't open from dock, after I installed mavericks. Is that a "feature"?

Great news, in that case this is user a specific issue which we should be able to resolve by moving one plist.
*Note read the instructions carefully and ask quesitons if you don't understand something.
First > Create a folder on your desktop so we can backup the plist that we removing that was it can be put back if anything... Call it Dock Plist
Second > Open a Finder windows > up on the menu bar click on "Go" > Hold the option key on your keyboard and you should see Library come up click on it... This will place you inside your user specific Library folder aka ~/Library...
Third > Go into Preferences folder > locate a file called com.apple.dock.plist and drap/drop into the folder you created on the desktop
Fourth > Click on the Apple (top left) > Logout... Log back and test it. The system automatically creates a new com.apple.dock.plist with no settings so your dock will go back to default, test mail and see if that resolves the issue.
