IMac 24" Applications Won't Load...

I have an Intel iMac 24" running 10.6.2 which I bought just before the new models launched. When I boot up the computer everything is just fine, all the apps load and work as they should however as I work throughout the day suddenly apps will just refuse to load. Anything from iTunes to Toast and even I'll problems with Safari.
It almost seems that if I boot up these apps when I start the Mac it might well be fine it's just if I want to start the app later in the day after the computer has been running for some time. Web pages will load in Safari but later on there will be issues with video and Flash sites. The only solution I can see is to force quit then restart the computer and choose the offending app as soon as it boots into the Finder. It's really frustrating if I want to burn a CD in Toast and it won't load and then I have to reboot to get the job done. All the Adobe CS4 apps seem to function fine although I have them set to Open at Login.
I thought I would make a new user and see if that would fix it but the System Preferences app hung when I tried and I had to force quit, I've not tried yet on restart, it might just solve it.
I'm sure others must have had this problem and I'm sorry if I am duplicating a post but I had a look and couldn't find a solution. I have Repaired Permissions and updated to 10.6.2 with the Combo Updater with no joy, it's looking like a reinstall of the OS might be the only resolve. I am using the pre-installed OS and I thought I read somewhere that could have been a problem for some owners.
Please help.

Good idea to create a new admin user account to see if the problem recurs there. If it does not, there is something in your normal account that is conflicting. You might open System Preferences Account pane +Login Items+ tab, to check the list of processes that start up automatically at login. If there is anything there you no longer need or that looks suspicious, take it off the list, restart, and see if the problem still recurs. About the only item that is on that list by default is iTunes Helper.

Can't view photos on Palm TX - application won't load?

Just attempted to load a few photos onto my TX (besides the stock photos that come with the TX) and now the application won't load?? The error msg I get is "The application cannot be launched because it is missing localization information" - what does this mean and how do I resolve this problem??? I could view the pics that came with the TX before but now since attempting to add my own it doesn't work anymore. FYI ....I had the same pics on my Tungsten E prior to this Palm without any problems.
Please advise.
Thanks....

Sounds like you didn't follow Palm's Upgrade Directions and now have system and preferences files that belong to the T|E on your TX. Hard reset the TX and follow these directions.

Application won't Load, They just say Loading.

I just got my iphone and was able to load 3 or 4 apps but now when i try to load an application it wont load, it just says loading. I tried resetting my phone and networks but it didnt help.
Please help

Same problem.
The App Store icon on my phone told me there are updates to a few apps, so I opened App Store and clicked "Update All". As is normal at this stage the phone exited to the main screen, and the icons of the apps in question became grayed out, with a blank progress bar and the caption "Loading...".
But then, nothing. The progress bar does not start. The apps remain unusable and undeletable. Checking the App Store again shows that the same updates are listed as available, but the Info screen of each lists them as Installed.
Syncing the phone with iTunes will fix this, but the problem arises again whenever I try to install an update over the air.
This issue began yesterday for me. Any ideas?

IMac OS X won't load

Recently while running OS X the iMac began to run extremely slow. I tried restarting and the computer just froze on the grey apple screen. I had windows XP dual booted on the same hard drive and I was able to log onto that with no problems at all. As this exact same situation occurred to me 10 weeks ago I tried inserting the OS X install DVD and use disk utility to do a repair but the computer wouldn't detect the DVD on start up. This was really weird because if i loaded windows it detected the dvd with out a problem. I called apple and ordered replacement DVD's. Using these It detected the DVD (after ejecting and reinserting the DVD multiple times) and I was able to access disk utility, however it was unable to preform a repair. I then decided to erase the Mac partition and do a clean instal. This didn't work as I just kept getting the message "Mac os x cannot be installed on this computer" I then decided to completely erase the hard drive (which still contained a fully working and functional windows XP install). Tried multiple times to get the instal to work but it never went through. The hard drive format was GUID enabled. Now the iMac won't detect the DVD and I just get a grey folder with a question mark. I contacted apple care earlier today before I got it to initially detect the DVD and they said bring it in and they can help me reinstall Mac os x but I feel like there has to be a bigger issue here. This is the second time is has happened in 10 weeks ( first time reformatting the HD and reinstalling os x fixed the problem) as a student this is extremely frustrating as it has managed to occur ring at the beginning of finals both times. Also there isn't an apple store any where near my campus so if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this from home it would be greatly appreciated!

Dont Bother with the hardware test if XP is ok. If you are going to run it make sure you choose extended test and loop it by pressing L before starting the test. Run it for 4 hours.
To rule out the DVD, run it in xp. it should have boot camp drivers.
Try burning in xp too to rule out the optical drive as the AHT Might not find errors.
I would check you have the correct discs, if they are good the partition may be damaged. If you haven't tried this already its worth a shot.
Restore the disk to 1 partition . This will erase everything including XP.
Boot to DVD > Disk utility > Partition TAB > Change current to 1 Partition, make sure its MAc osx extended journaled then click apply

Apple applications won't load properly

Itunes, App store etc open and load from page to page but when trying to play songs it brings up a status of opening a url that never opens. Also doesn't download thumbnail pictures such as album covers etc. Try to download yosemite off the app store but won't open. Please help this is so frustrating

What have you tried already to fix the problem? Have you done the usual Disk Utility checks / preferences checks etc?
Did you copy the applications in question over or reinstall them?

Slow response time, applications won't load, etc.

I'm writing this on behalf of my sister, who is on a MacBook Pro, operating Mac OS 10.4.8.
Just yesterday, she began to notice extremely slow response time on her laptop, with applications taking up to 5 minutes to load sometimes, and the Internet subsequently taking ages to switch from page to page. The laptop is also constantly freezing up, with the spinning circle showing up frequently, as well as complete system freezes on and off.
I went on the computer and repaired disk permissions, as well as verified the disk. All went fine. Tried to do a software update in order to update to 10.4.9, but the computer freezes before it can even really begin to download the information.
Numerous reboots were also tried, with nothing working. I don't want to have to do something extreme like reinstalling the operating system without knowing that there might be a simpler solution, so that's why I'm here! I'd also like to know whether we can save her files (documents, etc.), if a reinstallation is needed.
Edit: She reports that she did install or download any software or file attachments, and keeps insisting that the problem virtually came out of nowhere, in case this helps!
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Alright-her computer has gotten progressively worse, and has not even managed to reach the log in screen for the past 10 minutes. Just a grey screen, an apple, and the little twirling loading thing.
Am at a loss as to what to do...last night, I could log in, but it was still hanging and taking just about forever for it to do anything.
Is a reformat the only thing left to do? She does subscribe to AppleCare-is it worth calling them, or will they just tell her to reformat as well?
Edit: I'm beginning to think this might date back to a lightning storm we had a couple days ago-does this sort of behaviour seem to follow the behaviour or something that experienced an electrical surge? Her phone in the room was acting funny as well for a few days.

Java applications won't load with bridge installed

I am using JAWS (Job Access With Speech) by Freedom Scientific, version 4.02 which is supposed to work with the current version of the Access Bridge. I am also using Java 2 JDK 1.3.0 on an NT 4.0 system. When I turn on the java console window and run my applet from IE 5, the JAWS program crashes. When I turn off the java console window and run the applet with JAWS running, the applet does not load. The applet loads and runs fine without JAWS running. I will double-check the Access Bridge installation procedures to see if I missed something. Meanwhile, if anyone has some thoughts or suggestions, lemme know.
Thanks,
Rodger

Just an update on this. I used the 1.3.0_05 version of the JDK and the applet worked!

Applications won't load

I recently bought an ipad2 32gb. When I purchase an application from the app store, the app says "waiting" and doesn't download. It does this with both free apps and purchased apps. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it, and I have rebooted the device, all to with no evail.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the problem.

Try this. - Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on the ID and sign out of your account. Restart the iPad and then sign in again - Settings>Store>Sign in. Enter your ID and password. See if the apps will download now.

Lightroom won't load catalog, application won't launch

After using my Lightroom catalog and images on an external drive for several years, suddenly the application won''t load either today. Instead, I get this error message:
"...Lightroom Catalogs can not be opened on network volumes, removable storage, or read only volumes..."
Lightroom appears to be mis-identifying my external drive, won't let me access my files, and won't even launch! Prior to this, the Lightroom Library button has not been appearing in the right-hand menu since the most recent update. The Library has remained accesible from the pull-down Window menu though. Help!
Mac OS X v10.7.5; Lightroom 4.4; Latest versions of CS 6 Apps and Acrobat v10.1.7.

I fixed the hard drive recognition issue myself by rebooting. I'll probably try to re-run the Lightroom 4.4 installer to fix the missiing menu button. ANy ideas?

Applications Fail to Load

My brother loaded his music into my iPhone and now my applications won't load. When you click on them, they appear as though they are going to load and then they go back to the original screen. The songs in the iPod work fine though.

The same thing happened to me. Don't think it really has anything to do with the music being loaded. I deleted the apps from the phone and then synced them back through iTunes which fixed whatever glitch was causing the problem.

Java applications won't work

On my iMac, Java applications won't work. I tried opening minecraft, and several other Java applications. All of them have a message that pops up saying, "Not compatible version of Java 1.5+ is available." I tried updating it but their is no update for Java it says on my updater. Running 10.6.8

Dakota97 wrote:
I tried openning it but it said it couldn't open because it requires java to run it.
I don't understand that becuase 10.6.8 should already have Java installed. It optional in 10.7.x. It will be interesting to see if the java update even works under these conditions.

I have created a second user on my iMac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Everything works fine with the main user. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.
Regards,

I just installed LV2011 and one dll from my vi won't load with the error "application configuration is incorrect"

I just installed LV2011 and one dll from my vi won't load with the error "application configuration is incorrect", which is Windows lingo for "missing package dependencies". All the computers at my company with 2010 loaded seem to do OK. When I do a Dependencies Walk I get missing Visual C debug dll's missing plus IEshims and wer which both have a whole tree of dependencies missing on my machine. The Windows install is the same "Windows XP version 2002 Service Pack 3" on my PC and the working PC's. So I'm thinking I have to uninstall 2011 and go back to 2010. Is this correct? Those VC debug dll's were installed on the machines with 2010 in them but were not installed in mine.
I've heard the advice to recompile the dll with debug turned off but I don't have access to the source code.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. This at least tells me that going back to LV2010 is not likely to solve the problem. The missing dll's are:
MFC90D.dll
MSVCR90D.dll
IESHMS.dll
WER.dll
And, once again, IESHMS and WER have other dependencies. So perhaps i need to install the Visual C++ development environment.
IESHIMS.dll is an Internet Explorer DLL that gets usually delay loaded by shdocvw.dll. As delay load it can not cause DLL load errors but only runtime errors. Maybe your DLL has it as direct dependency but that is unlikely since it does not have a documented interface.
WER.dll is Windows error reporting for Vista/Win7.
MFC90D.dll is the Microsoft Foundation classes and MSVCR90D.dll is the MS C runtime library, both as debug variant.
So all the DLLs you mention are actually MS DLLs! You haven't identified the DLL that you try to access in LabVIEW that causes these error messages. IESHIMS and WER are usually delay loaded by any component that needs it and should not likely be used by non MS code.
What is the DLL you try to load into LabVIEW and by whom? Get the provider of that DLL to provide you a non Debug build of the DLL. Installing Visual C on all the machines just to make the DLL load is not a solution, besides that it is likely not legal since I doubt you have that many licenses.
