I can't open any app on my mac, they just flicker on the dock and nothing

I'm using MacBook Pro 13in Early 2011 and recent update to Mavericks, I cant open any application on my mac. There is an updates on app store but I can't use them cause the app store refuse to open. When I open any apps they just flicker on the dock and nothing. What to do apart from formating my computor again?

Have you tried a Safe Boot?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart Your Computer
> Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
> Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Recently I can not open any app. in my Ipad except original ones. How can I fix this problem?

You do NOT need to restore your iPad.
I believe that the problem is that there is a disconnect with your iTunes account and your iPad. What you are experiencing is a somewhat common issue after you sync your iPad, update your device - it could be a number of reasons that are causing it. the recommended fix is to download another app in order to "reconnect" your ID and iTunes account to the iPad.
You can read more about it here. You will need a WiFi internet connection in order to fix it - or you have to be able to sync with your own iTunes library.
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
But this is what it says in the article.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air or install any app

Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air. when i am attempting it says "you may need to reinstall app but when i am trying to reinstall it doesn't do anything. i can only browse right now. It happened right after when i deleted some files i was trying to uninstall the useless app and i think i accidently deleted some system files. Right now it is letting me to download the app but i cannot install any of the app or even open any application. please 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 your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
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.

I can't open any apps on my iPad. Everything goes back to the main menu. Anybody have a solution to this?

Has anybody got some advice? I can't open any apps on my iPad. Everything goes back to the main menu immediately.

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Note:
Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...

HT5548 in launchpad i can't open any apps

in launchpad i can't open any apps, It seems to have locked or froozen and now i cant do anything is this???

Hi mwvg,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you able to open the apps by clicking on them directly on the dock? When you are at the Launch screen, you can press the ESC key to get back to your desktop or open windows. Restarting your computer will most likely resolve this.
Mac Basics: Launchpad is the fast way to find and open your apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5548
Leaving Launchpad
To exit Launchpad, open an app. If you want to exit without opening anything:
Press the Escape (esc) key or Launchpad key on your keyboard.
Click the Launchpad icon, or another app icon in the Dock.
There may be an unresponsive application that is affecting things. If so, you can use the Force Quit command to close it:

Hopefully, this will get you back on track ...

How can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone

Hi,
how can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone? I ask this questions in hopes that I can eventually find a way to have the iPhone read a non "Enhanced" iBook to me.
I used the Accessibility reader for a brief time but it's very persinickety. Move the phone a tiny bit and it threw me out from page 70 and back to page 48. Changing pages when you are in Accessibility is excruciating. Now, I cannot get back there at all.
I downloaded 2 apps that claim they can read to me but the closest I can get in the instructions says I need to open the iBook from my Mac computer with my iPhone connected and then I will be able to open the iBook in the app called "Read text to me". Only when I go to open the book on my Mac it says "This book can’t be viewed using this computer. You can view this book using iBooks on your iOS device."
Thank god, I only have a brain tumor and am not yet completely blind.
I've been to the Apple store twice, checked out a youtube page with all it's comments and I am still nowhere, over the course of a week.
Can anybody help me?
thank you,
Ellen

You cannot.
Ibooks are only for iphone/ipod touch/ipad
So, there are no third party readers/emulators in Mac OS X and Windows to read them from iTunes? I don't even own an iOS device. I just redeemed Action Comics' Superman #1 from Starbucks and iTunes.
This one?
Where the REQUIREMENTS spell out that an iOS device is needed to read it?

IOS 6 keep asking apple id, and I can't open any app

Hi,
I'm deploying 30 ipads with profile manager and installing 40 apps in each one. Is so painfull beacuse I need the apps in some folders, and I have to do this all by hand in each one. I'm using an apple id for all the ipads, setting up icloud only for "find my iphone" feature. I wanted to check if all the apps are working correctly in each ipad, and I found a huge problem. In 4 of 10 ipads, all the apps are working, the other 6 are asking me for the apple id for everything, and I cant open any app. If I put the correct apple id, the app close. And if I put a wrong one, is saying that can't contact itunes.
I really dont know what to do. All of them have the same settings.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Asys.

Same issue but with 3rd gen iPad

I can't open any apps I downloaded after connecting to the computer (itunes) for the first time! Help!

I connected my iphone 4s to my macpro for the first time to add some musci, I didn't touch the apps folder.
But after ejecting, I can't open any of the apps I downloaded. When I press on them, they just shake but nothing opens!

You shouldn't. Downloading the app re-authenticated the iTunes account on your phone. This happens to people from time to time (not sure why) but making you are logged into the Apple store in iTunes with your Apple ID prior to syncing might help.
