HT3159 what do i do whenall application in my mac os x 10.5.8 quit unexpectedly

please help i updated my macbook and all my applications started quitting the moment i open them i am not sure which update did this because there were about ten please help i have tried repair permission the  font book thing even starting in a safe mode but i keep getting the same problem i don't have the startup disk

Hi Jake,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
And.or...
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • 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?

    Since uploading Maverick, all of my Microsoft apps give an error message "(name of the app) quit unexpectedly.  Click Reopen to open the application again."  However, this does nothing but renew this window.  I have to click on the "OK" button to get rid of the error message.  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?

  • Whats the purpose for the Application Manager?

    Here's what I'd LIKE the application manager to do:
    I use the Adobe Creative Cloud.  This was advertised as a service where you go to always get the latest Adobe software so everything is kept up to date. I assumed this to mean that the patches that come out occasionally would be monitored and put on the cloud to install. (NOT TRUE.  Patches aren't tracked or offered for download.)
    Then, it seems to me that the Application Manager would look at whats on the cloud and whats on your machine, and if you're not up to date on something, it notifies you and asks if you want to update, then does it.
    But, it doesn't do any of this!  It just prevents me from installing ANY PATCHES to any software and making me reinstall itself which doesn't do any good.
    I don't get it.  This whole Creative Cloud and Application Manager is an EPIC FAILURE.
    Get it right, guys!  You're the 900 lb. gorillas in creative software.  Surely you can figure this stuff out.

    Not necessarily. I'm a tech person so I usually like having the latest ang greatest version of the software that I'm using. So if you're happy with 4.3 and it's not crashing or causing errors then feel free to keep using it.
    You can always try 4.7 and if you don't like it uninstall it and reinstall 4.3

    My GPS that I bought for 60 dollars got erased after i changed my apple id.  I would like a refund or the app back.  Please help

    Yea because any apps with your "old" id are attached to that Id only. You can log into the iPhone settings, store, and change the apple I'd back to your old one. Redownload it and it will work. It will only work if you are logged in with that I'd. I'm not sure you will get much of an outcome with trying to get a refund. Go to the garmin website and pull support from there.
    It is not correct that it will only work if you are logged in with the original ID. You must sign into the store with your original ID and then redownload the app from the Purchased tab. Once it's downloaded, however, you do not need to remain logged into that account. However, you'll need to enter your password for that account anytime you try to update the app.

  • What are characteristics of an application for clusterded environment?

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post.
    What are characteristics of an application that should run in a
    clustered/high available environment ?
    imagine that we have an enterprise application with several web
    services and we need to run it in a cluster of application servers
    (Glassfish)
    what are considerations that we should notice for EJBs and web services ?
    we need the system to be high available.
    does Sun application server support high availabbility?
    Thanks

    The Enterprise Edition (EE) of the Sun Application Server has the High Availability feature.
    SJSAS 8.1 EE is the latest available version that supports HA. Check out
    http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0216/ha_as_overview.html
    As far as I know Glassfish (SJSAS 9.0) does not yet support HA.

  • What is meant by ( the application crashes )

    What is meant by ( the application crashes ) ?

    More then one, of "something". So if the "active" fails, then the "backup" can take over. Depending on exactly what we are talking about, then possibly both can be active at the same time,
    sharing the load, and if one fails then the one remaining will do the full load itself.
    Thing "something" can be a wide variety of things, since at power agg, disk, network connection, a whole server, a whole disk subsystem, etc. The details regarding architecture etc depends on exactly what
    this "something" is.
