iphoto icon bounces in the dock but doesn't open

Hi Terence, I hope you can help me too. I have a problem with opening iPhoto. It has always worked fine but now as soon as I click on the icon in the Dock or connect my camera I get the enclosed screen (see below). I have tried to re-install from iLife 11 Install Disk with no joy. I have moved my plist file to Trash. Any further suggestions please will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Brian

After Effects just bounces in the dock but wont start

Hi all,
Just installed CS4 production studio under Snow Leopard. All works well and updated using the Adobe Updater. All apps are fine except AE which just bounces in the dock a few times and then stops. I read that this could be because Rosetta was not installed. I installed Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD and still nothing. Have restarted 3 times just in case (I also read that several restarts may be required to get it to work), but still nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Dave

OK... Now I feel like Scott of the Antartic writing in his journal before the inevitable... I am writing this purely to help anyone else with the same issue to resolve it without the pain that I am still experiencing. Hopefully the last entry will read "all solved" and not "I am about to pop outside... I may be some time..."
After using CS2 for the bulk of my work I thought I'd try and get this solved once and for all, especially as we have a DVCPROHD project coming up and need CS4 to do it.
OK... The so now I have the suite running, except Premiere is running under at trial without the presets and the updates fail when installing. Contacted support this week, they wont re-open the original case because it has been over a month. Fair enough, new case.
The adobe guy takes control of my machine, deactivates it, then from Finder deletes lots of folders. He then asks me to re-install the products. I do this (2 hours later) and run Premiere and it appears to work with presets. I look a bit closer and notice that under the help menu of Premiere Register, Deactivate and Updates are all greyed out. This is not the case in the other products of the suite. OK, so not a major deal but does imply something is not installed right. I run the Adobe Updater, Premiere updates, but AE, PS and several updates fail.
Call back to support. This time the Adobe guy takes control of my machine suggests I deactivate the suite, run the un-install and then download and run the CS3 Clean script and re-install. I do all this. Another 2 hours later feeding discs into the machine... and... Premiere looks fine, presets all there... but wait for it... AFTER EFFECTS JUST BOUNCES IN THE DOCK BUT WONT START.
3rd call back to support and ask for the issue to be escalated. This is difficult and I have to cause a fuss to realise that this problem is the same one that has been hanging around for months and that I am not prepared to spend more hours removing every trace of Adobe from my machine and re-installing - this doesn't work. The support technician asks me to delete a hidden folder that has all the Adobe patches in it, manually download the AE 9.0.2 update and install it. It installs but AE wont start. I explain that I've had enough and want the problem escalated.
I finally get a call back from a 2nd level engineer this morning. After explaining the that AE wont start and then answering the question "why is this a problem for you!" we do some quick troubleshooting. This time I have to pull out the network cable, turn off Airport, create a new user account, log on to it and then see if AE runs. Which it does. Within seconds we get launched into the pre-determined script, "if it runs under another user account then there is nothing wrong with the applications and I should call Apple". After being patronised for a further 5 mins I had to PROVE to the guy that it was also possible that the fault was Adobes. I also know the moment I phone Apple, the response will be "Call Adobe".
The only example I could give him at the time was to image a piece of software I had written that allocated memory based on the screen resolution (this is a user preference) and if my code was badly written and crashed when encountering a screen resolution bigger than my code was expecting. OK, is that Apple's fault, no it is my code. Will it run under one user and not another, yes it will. There are a million other posibilities. Some I agree could be Apple's, but equally some could be Adobes and the big fat fob off as soon as you can is terrible.
I have also since realised since leaving this call with the technician, that:
1) This is a brand new iMac and the Adobe Suite was the 1st piece of 3rd party software installed on it.
2) The iMac is for video editing and nothing else.
3) This was working without presets before the Adobe guys deleted all these files and asked me to re-install. It is more likely that they have deleted something they should not have rather than the a bug in the OS. A bug in the OS is still possible but I suspect the problem is with a rogue bit of installation code from Adobe.
Finally incase anyone from Adobe is reading this:
I have paid thousands of pounds for this software.
I have been unable to use it for months.
A problem like this should be gold dust for you. Here is the chance to get to the bottom of an issue that several people are having, understand the mechanics of what is going wrong. Write a KB article as well as a patch and this would save the time/money and effort of an awful lot of people (including your own).
As a short thought experiment I would like everyone at Adobe to image the following:
You pay £1,000 of your own money for a tool to do your work on the promise that you can make this money back in productivity gains, new business, etc.
The tool you use every day to make a living won't work. For the benefit of the experiment, imagine this is your email client, web browser or case management tool.
You have no IT group to replace your machine or to come and solve it.
You can't tell your customers that your software is down and you have to keep doing your job.
You have to spend an additional 3 days in your own time, working late or weekends to try and fix the software yourself.
You to keep downloading a Gigabyte of data 3 or four times and you have to pay for downloads. Currently you are running up a bill of over £100 in downloads and phone calls.
You don't get paid the overtime and your customers start complaining you are late with your work.
You lose customers... you eventually get fired because you have lost too many of them.
...This is what it feels like for a small creative business to not be able to install the software they bought.

Some applications are not opening, including mail and Word. Clicking on the icon stirs it on the dock, but will not open it.

Ok, that's plenty of space.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

My maiil icon is in the dock but I am unable to bring up the program when I click on the icon.

It may have lost its connection (it is only an alias).
Delete it and create another one by dragging Mail from the Applications folder to the Dock.

Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open

I have a new installation of Acrobat Pro, along with PS5. Computer is a mac w/snow leopard. Question is Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open - says PS must be open for it to work - but PS is open(and functioning fine). So how do I get Acrobat working?
Thanks

I opened an earlier version of a CS program (Illustrator 3). Acrobat seemed to find what it needed and opened. It now opens normally - even with CS3 applications closed.

Bounces in the dock, but never opens?

Lately my iMac seems to be having errors or something where I can't open any application, it just bounces in the dock and sits there. It doesn't affect the applications that are already open, but once I've quit they're gone. That forces me to restart to get my computer functional again, but in order to do that I have to press and hold the power button because it won't shutdown by itself. All the menus go away and it seems like its going to...but it just sits there like an expensive brick. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi--
You have Directory damage to your hard disk. There are two programs that can fix this:
Disk Utility
Alsoft Disk Warrior
If you have an Intel Mac, you must use the first one. Start from your Mac OS X Install Disc and run Disk Utility. Select your hard drive at the left, and choose "Repair Disk".
If you have a PowerPC (G3, G4, or G5) buy Disk Warrior. It is much more robust than Disk Utility and is much more effective. Refer to the product documentation that comes with it.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

ICal bounces 15 times in dock, but doesn't open.

I recently upgraded to 10.5.1 on my Powerbook G4, and since then, I have not been able to use iCal. It was working when I was at 10.5, but now when i try to open it from the dock or the finder, it bounces 15 times, then stops bouncing. I checked out console and it said:
11/22/07 9:44:22 AM com.apple.launchd[125] ([0x0-0x2c02c].com.apple.iCal[223]) Exited abnormally: Illegal instruction
I can post the whole thing from crash reporter if need be.
I tried moving the calendars from the library, all the plist files, i checked for that font, and it was missing from the list, but my font book said it was enabled.
I know there are a few articles about this, but I haven't read any about it not opening at all. It never becomes selectable...Just bounces in the dock.
Ideas?

AE CS4 bounces in the dock and won't open

Hi guys,
I already read this other post
but my problem is slightly different: I had installed a trial version of CS4 Master Collection, now I purchased the license so I uninstalled the older version and run the Cleanup Script.
Well, so after the install of the CS4 Master Collection (and also installed all the updates before opening apps), everything works fine but After Effects just bounces in the dock once and then won't open at all.
This is the message in the console:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp[1194] Launch failed with error code - 2857 (cragCFragRsrcErr) for application /Applications/Adobe After Effects CS4/Adobe After Effects CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/After Effects
and then
([0x0-0xb20b2].com.adobe.AfterEffects[1194]) Exited with exit code: 215
The curious thing is, if I hit command+shift+G in finder, writing
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS4/Adobe After Effects CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/
an invisible folder opens under the CS4 app and from there I can run an executable Unix document called After Effects that opens terminal and After Effects application without problems.
What's the explaination for that ?
Please I'm going crazy let me know what can I do to fix this!!
Thanks in advance
Simone

Sounds like your original dock item was linked to the previous installation. Delete it, launch AE from the applications folder, select the item int hte dock and Leave In Dock.
The item in your app folder is not a Unix.exe, it's probably just an unassigned icon. All unassignede itmes look like .exe.

System preferences icon still in the dock but invisible

I have this problem and I don't know how to fix it.
The system preferences app is still working properly, the problem is that the icon is missing, it seems to be still on the dock, when the system preferences app is open there is even the little light underneath, but there is no icon, just an empty space. What should I do?
If I could post a screen shot would be much easier to explain.
Thanks in advance
Hope to hear from you soon.

Click on the icon in the Dock and hold down the mouse as you drag it upward. It will disappear in a "poof".
Now, open the Applications folder and drag the System Preferences back into the Dock and try again.

Opening mail application from the dock sometimes doesn't open window.

In Mountain Lion, sometimes when I open Mail on the dock with a single left mouse (or touchpad) click, the Mail application opens, as shown in the menu bar, but a mail window doesn't open. I must then click or double click on it to get it to open a window. No other application in the dock behaves this way. How can I fix this?

Is there a problem with mail opening from the dock?
NOPE! Do you have open at login enabled? Is Mail listed in Login Items through System Preferences?
