ISync won't launch

What makes an app not launch? It flickers but then it never becomes active in the finder. I've tried deleting preferences for the app (this happens all the time with my Preview and once I delete the preferences its works again).
I tried copying iSync from another machine that it does work on and the same thing happens. What gives?

I trashed iCal and reinstalled it. I again trashed iSync and reinstalled it. It still will not launch and the crash log reads the same.
The reason I am trying to get it to work is I am purchasing an iphone for his birthday (tomorrow). Is there another way to get contacts from his current phone to the iphone? If so, I won't need iSync anymore (I don't think) because iphone syncs through iTunes.

  • ISYNC WON'T LAUNCH HELP!

    When I open up isync application, it won't launch at all. I see the word isync and help on top of the menu bar but when I click on them, nothing at all happens. Please help me get my isync working anyone! Thanks!
    Pat

    I had this problem last week and found a fix here on the boards, but you must be willing to go against the official Apple advice.
    Go into your user library's application support folder (/Users/YourName/Library/Application Support/). Look for the "SyncService" and "SyncServices" folders. There will be one of each.
    One of these is the WRONG one. And even though Apple's own tech notes say "Like a swarm of angry bees, avoid touching this folder," I'm sad to say... you're gonna have to touch it.
    IMPORTANT STEP:
    Open both folders and look at the file dates. Find the most recent (for me, that was SyncServices). Take the other folder and right-click it. Select "Create Archive of SyncService" to make a quick .zip backup of the folder.
    Now. Take a deep breath and delete the folder you backed up.
    Re-launch iSync.
    Did it work?
    If not, you can restore the original folder by unzipping the SyncService.zip that you created, and try something else (maybe try the same with the other SyncServices folder, just to be sure).

  • After 1.5.2 Update iSync won't launch

    Updated to 1.5.2 on my macbook pro, and afterwards iSync will not even launch... one bounce of the icon then nothing. Where do I begin to trouble shoot this? Tried fixing permissions but that did not fix the problem.
    Frank

    Thanks!! It worked for me.
    What I found is that just before installing 10.5.2 iSync worked fine, but before exploring the sync options in the new menu bar icon (for synching both .mac and isync, if I got it) iSync stopped to work, it doesn't launch anymore.
    Concretely, I have an expired trial account of .mac, and when I go to the synching options, it prompts a question about updating (buying) the account or do it later. Every time I click on "Not now" with iSync working, it stops to launch, and I have to reinstall 10.5.2 Combo update, to get it to launch again. It's a funny bug, don't you thing?
    So, the "final" fix was to make synch icon not visible on menu bar, log out of my expired .mac account, reinstall the Combo update, and then it works (again) but don't stop working (unless I touch .mac on the System Preferences, again). So don't touch it!
    Apple must release a fix for that if they want me to buy .mac someday. Since then, I won't ever touch .mac preferences, or logging .mac accounts.
    I hope this information may be helpful to someone.

  • ISync won't even launch- MacBook

    I just got a lovely Macbook 17"
    It's perfect but for one thing- I can't get my Palm Zire 31 to sync with the macbook, and I suspect this has something to do with the fact that iSync won't even launch. It bounces a few times, and then nothing when I attempt to launch it. I can see the iSync menu but clicking it to drop-down is useless. I have to force quit it.
    Please help!

    You must reinstall iSync using Pacifist and an original Mac OS X 10.4 Install or Upgrade DVD. To do so, download Pacifist:
    http://www.charlessoft.com
    Then, launch Pacifist and insert your Mac OS X 10.4.2 Install DVD. Wait for it to mount, then press the Open Mac OS X Install packages button. It will begin loading the Essentials.mpkg files.
    Find the Contents of Essential.pkg package, and click on the triangle to open it. Click on the triangle in front of the Applications folder, and it will open to reveal a number of files, including the iSync.app file. Select the iSync.app file and press the install button.
    You will then have to reapply the latest Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo update package for your intel-based MacBook Pro in order to update iSync 2 to version 2.3. You will find that package here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1047combointel.html

  • ISync won't run giving error, NSInvalidReceivePortException

    I am unable to sync my contacts and calendar with my iPhone or MobileMe because iSync won't run.
    The error message says:
    iSync can't be launched
    SyncServices: Can't connect to the sync server: NSInvalidReceivePortException: connection went invalid while waiting for a reply ((null))
    A test user account works fine. So it is something specific to my main user account. Trashing all preferences in the user library doesn't fix it.

    I had this problem and was able to fix it following your instructions. THANK YOU. Although iTunes is not crashing repeatedly on starting it. This is at least a step in the right direction towards fixing what ever issue I was having.
    Thanks again

  • 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?

    im having a mail problem too. i have a multiple yahoo mail accounts and every single one of them wont work. i keep getting this "the user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect." so i deleted my accounts and re-entered them. and the same message came up. i've re-typed the information many times throughout the day and it didnt work. i tried a different account and the same happened. then i tried my gmail account and that didnt work. yours sounds worse than mine, though. im not having mulitple languages. i hope you can figure it out = ]

  • 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.*

    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.

  • IPhoto 11 won't launch and crashes every time I try to rebuild the library. Urgh.

    iPhoto 11 won't launch- it's another case of an infinite skinny wheel. I've tried rebuilding the library numerous times, each time it takes about a day and each time it crashes near the end. This is just ridiculous. Any tips folks?
    APPLE if you can hear me... shouldn't you be testing this stuff prior to release? I know you do but I mean, like REALLY testing it? This is my second iPhoto upgrade disaster. The last time I lost my entire library, had to spend £80 on recovery software that recovered not only most of my photos, but every image cached on my machine. So then I had the fun of sorting through literally thousands of images...
    And I only got the upgrade becasue my iPhone is refusing to sync, freezing on the iPhoto bit. Gah.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • My apps won't launch & menu bar missing all top left icons!!!

    A strange concurrence of multiple problems:
    I am a pretty advanced user and have an iBook G4/1.33 GHz running Tiger 10.4.8, but I am having trouble with my PowerMac G4/500 MHz running 10.3.9 right now. I keep my PowerMac in Panther since it is almost 7 years old and I only have Tiger on my iBook disc.
    Suddenly a few things started to happen at once yesterday:
    1) NONE of the top right menu bar icons (OS 9 status, modem status, iChat, monitors, AirPort, Volume, clock, etc. show up upon log-in or restart.
    2) Virtually NONE of my apps will launch from the Dock or the Finder. They bounce a few times then give up, with no error message.
    I peformed successful repairs booting from both the OS X Panther disc and TechTool Deluxe. Although recommended, I can't create a TEST User because System Prefs won't launch, can't repair permissions from the problematic drive because Disk Utility won't launch, and I can't clear out caches because Cocktail won't launch.
    I made sure the Application Support Folder in my Home Library had read/write permissions for me and applied to all enclosing folders as suggested. I tried trashing the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist preference in my Home Library also as suggested. However, it wouldn't allow me to remove the Launch Services file in the Caches folder of the main Library Folder as I also read here in the discussions.
    Aside from successfully running disc repairs from the startup disc and TechTool, I tried repairing permissions from the startup CD as well (since couldn't launch any apps like Disk Utility from regular startup drive). Every time I try to repair in this manner though, after a minute it tells me "Disk Utility lost connection with Disk Managment" and I must quit and relaunch Disk Utility. However, same thing happens when I do, for both my drives running copies of OS X 10.3.9.
    Only thing I can think of is to do an Archive/Reinstall of one of the two OS X systems on two different drives. But does anyone else have a clue what is causing this or what I need to try??? I read similar stories on here but nothing will all these symptoms at once.
    I would REALLY appreciate some input, thanks!!!
    PowerMac G4/500 MHz (1 GB); iBook G4/1.33 GHz (1.5 GB)   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   (still using 10.3.9 Panther on PowerMac)

    Menu Bar Problems ..........
    Check the following link for OS X troubleshooting steps. When doing so, following all steps in the order provided:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
    1 If resetting permissions doesn't help, you may have a corrupt preference file... Delete....
    Delete ~/Library/Caches (folder)
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
    where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string
    • Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
    • Removing systemuiserver.plist will cause the right half of the menubar back
    its original pristine default state.
    2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
    - Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Preferences" folder to the desktop.
    - Restart and test your applications.
    • If this does not work, move the "Preferece" folder back to ~/Library
    • If this works, delete the old preferences folder. (You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them).
    3. Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Fonts" folder to the desktop.
    - Restart and test your applications.
    - If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
    ( A likely suspect is Time RO, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
    4. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
    - Navigate to ~/Library.
    - Get Info (Command + i) on the "Applications Support" folder.
    - Open the "Ownership & permissions" flippy triangle.
    - Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
    - Click on "apply to all"
    - If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
    Note...The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
    • Create a new User.... go to System Preferences/ Accounts and click on "+" at bottom left of window..... and test the apps in this new account if they work the problem is isolated to your User
    (~ means your home directory)
