IMovie 9.0.9 won't launch

I have a Mid-2011 iMac running Yosemite (10.10.3). I recently downloaded and installed iMovie 10 and upgraded to 10.0.7 I previously had iMovie 9.0.9. I have some videos I created using iMovie 9.0.9 which will not open in iMovie 10. I found the previous iMovie app in my applications fold and have tried to launch iMovie 9.0.9 to edit these videos, but iMovie 9.0.9 will not launch. I have deleted the preference files and restarted my Mac. I have removed iMovie 10 from my applications folder, I have even gone back into Time Machine to download previous application and preference files from my backups. Nothing is working. iMac 9.0.9 will not launch. How can I get a round this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help,
Paul

IMovie won't launch

Using iMovie 4.0.1. Won't launch.
I've loaded some 3ivx codecs, Mac the Ripper, and TiVo Desktop (latest version). Not sure if there is any relation, but now when I try to launch iMovie, the icon does a "dead cat" bounce and won't launch. Thoughts?
BTW, I realize this may be a repeat, but the current threads on this topic don't seem terribly clear or helpful. The suggestion to delete the relevant plist file seems to cause more problems than it solves (some folks have to reinstall iMovies or all of iLife), so I'm reluctant to try it. Thanks ahead of time.

No, it doesn't. In fact, that's where you should start: by deleting the iMovie plist files. A new one will be created when iMovie launches.
If some folks have to re-install iLife, it's beacuse their problem was more severe that just a corrupt plist file.

I am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch.

am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch and leaves a blank white screen box and spinning wheel of death-if I re-install software-will I lose all photos and faces settings? Any ideas-this is a Mac Pro and Xserve school system.
It seemed to stem from when I was transferring some movie footage from an HD camcorder to iMovie.
This is a school system and I'm worried I may lose many photos and face recognition data.

1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
FWIW
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
Alternative approach:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

10.4.7 Intel- apps now won't launch

I applied the Intel 10.4.7 Combo updater to my 1 month old Macbook and now most applications will not launch. Safari and Camino both will not launch. Luckily I also have Opera which works.
I click on an app; it bounces once and then nothing as if I never clicked it. Other apps that won't launch: Adium, mail, ichat, address book, itunes, iphoto and others
Apps that do work: Quicken, Imovie, prefs, dashboard, terminal, quicken, and others
Ok after writing all of that, I checked console and saw that every one of those applications actually crashes and leaves a crash log. Each crash log has the same error about the address book as shown below.
Here is the log for Safari:
Host Name: mb
Date/Time: 2006-06-27 23:15:07.466 -0400
OS Version: 10.4.7 (Build 8J2135)

Path: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

Link (dyld) error:
Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework/Versions/A/AddressBook
Referenced from: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
Reason: image not found

Ok I fixed it myself. Somehow there was some filesystem corruption which caused some important files to disappear. (Disk first aid told me this.) I restarted in single user mode and ran fsck -yf. It gave me all these horrible file system errors but was able to repair the disk! Things are working fine again- for now.
Now I'll really be happy if this update cures the Moo.

IDVD 5 won't launch on G5, current OSX

I'm running a G5, latest version of Mac OSX, installed iLife including iDVD. I've installed the update to iDVD5.
Still, the program won't launch separately or from within iMovie. I get the Beachball Of Death and have to Force Quit the program.
I've read some boards here, but none of them address my issue.
Whaddup?

David;
Nah-you have plenty of space.
Trash your old preference files.
MacintoshHD>Users>Library>Preferences. In the Preferences folder, locate the following file:
com.apple.idvd.plist Drag that file to the Trash, then empty the Trash.
Re-lauch and let me know.

Some apps won't launch? (lion)

I bought my Macbook Pro 3 days ago and installed FaceTab for Facebook. It worked fine until today and the problem is that when I want to launch it, it just won't launch. Other Apple built-in apps work fine like iMovie, iPhoto etc. I looked for some alternatives to the FaceTab and found Facelet and I still have the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

If you installed Mavericks then booted into recovery, the reinstall option there would be to reinstall Mavericks, not Mountain Lion.
Erasing your HD is correct but did you migrate your data when asked during the install? If so, you can copy all the old problems back over. A clean install involves no migration at all. It is an involved process. None of your apps like spotify will be there after a clean install. If you don't have a backup or clone, you would lose all your data in a clean install.
If you make only acts normal during a safe mode boot, then the most likely cause of your problems is a third party launch agent/daemon/kext. This would also explain why the problems also happen for the new user you created.
You can try posting a list of the 3rd party applications currently installed. One of the simplier ways to do this is with the following program.
Etrecheck the program you want is called Etrecheck, post the output and you'll get suggestions on what to uninstall for testing purposes

FCE won't launch

I can't get FCE to launch. I've had the program for months and it was working fine. Recently stopped working (maybe after a couple of programs were updated?) Won't launch at all. I've tried all the stuff in related posts:
* Updating Quicktime
* Trashing prefs
* Repairing prefs
* Uninstalling and re-installing FCE
I've also disconnected various devices (Sony DCR-HC26, firewire splitter device, M-Audio Solo firewire audio input interface) and restarted the computer, re-installed drivers for the audio interface, etc. All to no avail.
Incidently, iMovie won't launch either, so the problem would seem to be related.
Thoughts?

These are the exact instructions as described in the Disk Utility Help Manual:-
Testing and repairing your startup disk.
If you have problems with your startup disk, you can use Disk Utility to test it for errors and repair it. To repair your disk, you must start up from another disk, such as your Install Mac OS X disc.
You may be able to test your startup disk without starting up from another disk. Open Disk Utility, select your startup disk, and click First Aid. If the Verify Disk button is available, click it to test your disk. You need to start up from another disk only if Disk Utility finds errors or if the Verify Disk button is dimmed. When testing your startup disk, Disk Utility may report errors when there are none. Starting up from another disk and then running Disk Utility gives more accurate results.
You can always test and repair disk permissions on your startup disk without starting up from another disk.
Start up your computer using another disk.
To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc and restart your computer holding down the Option key, then select the Install Mac OS X disc and click the arrow.
Open Disk Utility.
If you're using the Mac OS X Install disk, follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it., and then choose Utilities > Open Disk Utility.
Select the startup disk in the list of disks and volumes, then click First Aid.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. Status at the bottom of the window. If you can't see it, be sure you selected the hard disk your volume is on, and not the volume itself.
If the S.M.A.R.T. Status is "About to Fail," back up your files on the disk as soon as possible and replace the disk.
If the S.M.A.R.T. Status is "Verified" or "Not supported," click Repair Disk to repair the disk.
If Disk Utility tells you to look for links to corrupt files in the DamagedFiles directory, two or more files occupy the same space on your hard disk and at least one of them is likely to be corrupt. Examine each affected file in the DamagedFiles folder, which at the top-level of the affected disk. If you can replace it or recreate the file, delete it. If it contains necessary information, open it and examine its data to make sure it has not been corrupted.
If Disk Utility cannot repair your disk or reports "The underlying task reported failure," try to repair the disk again. If that doesn't work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat your disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and restore your backed up data. If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced. See an authorized Apple dealer for more information.

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.

Photoshop CS6 won't launch and when it does it's really slow...help?

Hi,
So my copy of Photoshop CS6 sometimes won't launch and when it does manage to launch fully, it's really slow. I mean ridiculously slow. The only times when I can get it to run even remotely quick is if I shut down my computer, and then restart it and then start up Photoshop CS6 as the first program. Even then it slows down after a while. (And I only have a firefox browser open usually, never more than a couple of tabs at once, so it's not a bandwidth issue)
Here are my comp specs:
Samsung
Processor:
AMD A6-3420M APU with
Radeon (Tm) HD graphics 1.50 ghz
Installed Memory (RAM) - 4.00 (3.48 usable)
64 Bit operating System running on Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1
I also did just recently install the new update Adobe had for Photoshop, so that's up to date.
It's getting really frustrating! I have another program I'm using in the meantime (Paint tool Sai), but I'd really like to use Photoshop CS6.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you updated the drivers from AMD's website, not Microsoft.
Make sure you are running the 64 bit version of Photoshop, not 32 bit.
Disable all third party plugins, and try disabling system utilities (we've seen font managers, antivirus, disk backup software, etc. cause slowdowns due to bugs in those utilities).

Mail won't launch nor its settings save/ allow changes after 2.0

Anyone else have this ? Mail just won't launch ; opens to the main scroll screen, which stays blank, with the top and bottom bars showing – the bottom bar showing the refresh and write buttons – and then quits. Also, I cannot delete my MobileMe or GMail account, nor edit them.
Though with the MM account, if I try to delete it, it disables all of the push functions except mail. Things that I've been trying to do, like change whether the Trash folder autodeletes mail or not and the name of the account, don't save at all. The Trash delete frequency change stays in place as long as I'm in the Mail settings ; the name change doesn't hold at all.
In the second setting 'pane' in Settings – "Nouvelles Données" in French, so I guess "New Data" ? – down in Advanced, there are two MobileMe Push accounts listed. The first one saying it syncs calendars and contacts, and the second one mail... Yet I only have one MM account set up, or so says the uneditable Mail settings.
Nor can I (re)add my MM and GMail accounts. Trying to add a Yahoo account I never put on the also failed.
I've restarted my touch too.
Sounds like one of those things that when on a Mac, deleting a plist or fixing permissions would be suggested... I can't find a similar Settings-related problem anywhere on the internet either.
Reïnstall?

CS3 Installer Won't Launch

OSX 10.5.5
Intel Quad Core Tower, 8GB Ram
Currently installed: CS3.3 Master Collection
I am trying to reinstall Acrobat 8 from my Master Collection 3 disc, and Setup won't launch. I've also tried Utilities:Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection, and it won't launch either.
I've tried the standard solutions: fix file permissions, install from admin account and new user account, uninstalled CS4 Beta applications. Nothing has helped.
Adobe technical support has been no help. I've been on the phone with them for two hours this morning.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

BRIAN, HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME, BUT I WAS USING WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, NOT A MAC SYSTEM. STILL MAYBE IT MAY BE OF HELP.
I had problems uninstalling and reinstalling my Adobe Master Collection CS3. The problem being that the installer would run and then disappear without initiating the uninstall/installation process.
Here are the simple combination of steps which worked for me.
1/ removing Adobe Master Collection CS3 by running add/remove programs
2/ running the Adobe CS3 clean script. I'm almost 100% certain I chose option 1 when running the script http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
3/ out of desperation and realising I had nothing to loose because I had an image of the fairly newly configured hard drive I was using, I deleted the Adobe "Installers" Folder located inside the Adobe folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
Steps 1 and 2 above did not solve my problem.
Step 3 did solve my problem. However, I do not know if step 1 and/or 2 were required for step 3 to work.
GOOD LUCK :-)
PS. Please let users of this site know if this solution has worked for you ...and if so, pass the solution on elsewhere too.

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

My steam won't launch ever since I updated to Yosemite I don't know what is going on.

Whenever I try to launch it, it says "Steam quit unexpectedly" I have tried redownloading it 5 times and have every software up to date. I also have tried
deleting all my steam files and it still doesn't work. Here is a screenshot:
I also downloaded a program called EtreCheck that checks for issues so here is what it found:

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
