I can no longer open Smart Notebook on my MacBook OSX 10.4. It just bounces in the dock then disappears

The operating system is OSX 10.4.11
Notebook 10 was running fine except for the flash activities would no longer work. I upgraded to Notebook 10.7 from the website to try and fix this. The new Notebook version nor the uninstaller would launch. They bounce in the dock for a second or two and then disappear again. I drug and dropped all Smart files into the trash since the uninstaller didn't work and reinstalled Notebook 10 from a disk I have. Now it also bounces in the dock for a second or two when I try to launch it then it disappears. I also tried to repair permissions but this didn't help.
I checked the console log and got this information:

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,

During start up unidentified icon tries to appear in dock then disappears

When I start up or restart the computer, an unidentified icon tries to appear in dock at the solid black line between the trash can and the last icon in my dock. It looks like a white square with a red "A" letter with a pencil or pencils in it. I only see if briefly. I tried disk utility with and without the disk. It still does it. Thanks.

Hi--
Sorry I didn't get back to you before...
With a magnifying glass, as it
briefly tried to appear in the dock and disappear, it
was the icon for applescripts (the one that looks
like an "A" with a paint brush, pencil, ruler, and 2
pieces of of paper).
If it looks like this:
that's just the generic icon for any application that doesn't have its own icon. It's not necessarily anything to do with AppleScripts.
In looking at my iMac running 10.3.9, I see a Startup Item called "iCalAlarmScheduler", and it has a generic icon. However, on my iMac, the "Hide" box is checked next to it, so I woudn't see that if I started up my computer. But if I unchecked the box in the "Hide" column, I'd see that icon for a moment as the Finder started it up.
To see how things are set up on your computer, I want you to open up the Terminal application from your Utilities folder. You'll see a prompt. Just copy and paste this command at the prompt and then hit the "enter" or "return" key:
<pre class="command">defaults read loginwindow | grep -B1 Path</pre>You;ll either get a few lines of text with "Path =" and "Hide =" at the beginning of them, or you'll just get another prompt. If you get the lines with "Path" them, post them here and close the Terminal application.
Just so you know, what that command does is read the preferences file for loginwindow, which is what manages startup items and your login and things like that. Then, once it reads that command, the vertical bar sends it to another program that looks for the text "Path" in any line. If it finds it, it prints out that line and the one before it.
Here's what I get on my iMac:
<pre class="command"> Hide = 0;
Path = "/Library/PreferencePanes/Growl.prefPane/Contents/Resources/GrowlHelperApp.app" ;
Hide = 1;
Path = "/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper.app";
Hide = 1;
Path = "/Applications/Font Reserve/Font Reserve Database";
Hide = 1;
Path = "/Applications/iCal.app/Contents/Resources/iCalAlarmScheduler.app";</pre>You will have different programs listed there, or perhaps none at all.

Safari starts bouncing in dock then disappears, can't launch

I recently had Safari 3.0.4 and it couldn't start: It would start bouncing
in the dock for a few seconds then disappear.
I installed the 3.2.1 update (and the security update necessary for Mac OS Tiger)
but it still does the same thing. Yes I did restart after install...
I have Firefox and it works fine. Is there a conflict between the two?
Thanks
Firefox 3.0.1
Safari 3.2.1

Hi
No conflict exists between those browsers, however, either there is a 3rd party Safari add-on not compatible with Safari 3, or there is some corruption in the cache files that requires clearing.
Regarding add-ons: anything in these locations:
HD>Library>Inputmanagers folder, or Applications Support>SIMBL>Plug-ins folder.
Same as above, except Your User Account>Library.
If no, then have a look at this post for suggestions about clearing the cache.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Safari quits an the 3rd bounce in the dock, then spews an "unexpected" quit message. Prefs trashed. How to resolve

I recently re-installed the OS from a cleas wipe of the drive, change of formatting to Case-sensitive & Journaled. After using the Mirgration assistant program, it fails to launch for a certain user. It works fine for other users. .plist files have been trashed for that user, how can I make this work again? The thought of trashing the app & reinstalling occured, but I am not sure how to get it back, and using alternative browsers for just that user is a bit silly.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Safari again.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
Quit Terminal. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that will have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

Homeshare: iTunes library loads into my new PC. Then disappears. (Windows 8). Any suggestions?

Hi. I'm able to, via homeshare, load my iTunes library into my new laptop. It's all there. Then when I leave and come back to it even a minute later, it's gone.The machine runs on Windows 8 (which is garbage, by the way).

Why does the iTunes dock icon bounce when quitting the app?

ITunes 11.1.2 on Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Every time I shut down iTunes, the dock icon bounces. This never happens with any other application. Dock icons are supposed to bounce when you start up an app, not when you quit it, Right?
Thanks.

Hello there, ocsimple.
The following Knowledge Base article clarifies what it means when an icon bounces on your dock:
About the Dock (Mac OS X)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1779
Particularly:
Bouncing icon in the Dock
An application's icon may bounce in the Dock to request your attention.
When you close iTunes, is it prompting you with a window or some other message when you click the bouncing icon?
Cheers,
Pedro.

Icon bouncing in dock

I use the on screen po-up alarms quite a bit and notice that when one comes on screen the iCal icon bounces in the dock. About half the time, when I click on the alarm to get rid of it the icon in the dock keeps bouncing, apparently it will keep this up forever, or until I click on it to make iCal active. It is very annoying trying to work with this icon continually bouncing, so I eventually make iCal active and then immediately close it, which solves the problem. Am I doing something wrong to cause this behaviour or is this just an iCal bug? I can't find any preference remotely related to the behaviour.

Not resolved

Mail won't open either from the dock or from the applications folder. Icon bounces but program won't open

Mail worked fine this morning, then, when I went to open the program this afternoon, the icon bounced in the dock but would not boot either when I tried to open it from the dock or from the applications folder.

The nib file is the visual part of the user interface, so it has either got damaged or gone missing, which (unless you have been moving things around) is a little bit worrying.
I would suggest
make sure that you have a current backup
run disk utility to check your disk
if your disk is ok,
put in your installation disk and do an optional installation of Mail
download and run the latest combo upgrade

Icon bounces and iCal crashes immediately in Leopard

I did not even have a chance to check email notification issues.
iCal fails to open since 10.5 upgrade.
the icon bounces in the dock, iCal windows fleshes for a split of a second - and that is it. Apparently, something tells iCal to quit, as it is not noticed by the system as failure. I do not get the usual report to Apple thing after other crashes.
I tried deleting all my iCal files (calendars, plists, calendar entries, iSync files), but the only change is, after the first run, the iCal launches and quits much faster.
Creating other account makes it possible to run iCal over there, so one of my original user files or permissions is perhaps corrupt.

I was in the same boat with iCal crashing after install of Leopard. And I may have an answer for you.
Observations:
Like you I tried the deletion of related caches and preferences, but also went through a reinstall of iLife '06 to no avail.There seemed to be another symptoms to the problem. When connecting my iPod to iTunes the Contacts tab shows syncing of calendars is not checked. When attempting to reestablish the sync, a message replies that there are no calendars available.
What worked for me:
1 Remove the calendars from your user library to the desktop.
2 Start ical
3 When the Blank calendar shows up go to File and import each of your calendars from the desktop.
Good Luck

Icon bounces, but that's it

Recently, out of nowhere, my iChat just won't start up at all. The icon bounces in the dock and never does anything, so I have to force quit.
I did the whole Pacifist thing, but that didn't help at all. Now I still have the same problem, but the icon is the older version with the little yellow AIM guy.
I'm going to try pulling iChat off my work computer tomorrow, putting it on my iPod, and dragging it into my applications folder at home to see if that works (it worked with Photobooth pulled from my sister's iMac).
If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.

If you have "installed" iChat 2 on Tiger it will not work.
You need Tiger Install Disks and this FAQ.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121719
Using Pacifist the support folder are in separate places now, via the Hard Way.
The Combo is still needed.
