Kindle for Mac fails to launch

I've been using Kindle for Mac for quite a few weeks now. However very often I have issues launching the software.
The dock icon bounces a couple of times and suddenly disappears and the software does not launch. I click on the icon again to launch it and after a couple of times (sometimes 10-15 times) it launches successfully.
Is anyone experiencing this issue? Any tips on how to solve it?
Thanks, Bruno

I'm also having this identical problem with Kindle for Mac. I deleted the Kindle plist file (called "com.amazon.Kindle for Mac.plist" in Home>Library>Preferences)as suggested by sig and the app launched again. Thanks!

  • SQL Developer for Mac Fails to Launch 2.1.0.63.73

    It is disappointing that 2.1 RC1 fails to launch on PPC Macs and particularly aggravating that there is no indication on the download page or in the release notes this was only built for Intel Macs. Or does
    "...launcher.sh: line 774: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java: *Bad* *CPU* *type* *in* *executable*
    Error: SQL Developer can't recognize the JDK version" mean something else?
    Is there any compelling reason that SQL Developer for Mac cannot be compiled as a UB?
    Chuck

    I just tried to run 2.1 on my PPC running 10.4.11 from sqldeveloper-2.1.0.63.73-macosx.tar.tar on the 2.1 downloads page.
    On double-clicking SQLDeveloper.app a bash process starts and uses all the CPU. The icon bounces in the taskbar for about a minute. There's nothing else visible.
    info.plist says it is version 1.1!
    I was using the previous release, so before I installed I copied the app and ~/.SQLdeveloper so I could restore it if the update failed.
    Should I have deleted ~/.SQLdeveloper? I can't see any upgrade notes.
    I remember with previous updates there was a way to keep the connections, what was it?
    To move the sqlconnections.xml out of .sqldeveloper before installing the new version then move it back?
    Later - the console has lots of aqua errors. I guess that means it needs Tiger or SnowLeopard?

    Acrobat Pro 9 for mac won't launch, reloaded from disk when hard drive needed to be replace. It's in applications folder but there is an X on the Acrobat Reinstall icon. What should I do.

    Hi Janice,
    What version of Mac OS are you using?
    Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
    Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

  • Font problem in Kindle for Mac

    I am having a dastardly problem with the Kindle for Mac software. The text gets compressed into a single black blotch of text.
    (See this image for a screen shot: http://flic.kr/p/9r6kqw
    I am at a loss. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have validated all my fonts. I have requested help from Amazon and they threw in the towel (albeit very politely).
    If anyone has had a similar problem and was able to resolve it, I welcome your insights.
    Many thanks,

    Aha! Both Georgia and Trubechet were missing from my system.
    I installed them from another computer in the house and -- tada -- the fonts in Kindle for Mac are rendering properly.
    Tom - you are my hero today. I can't tell you how many hours I have been fiddling with this problem. Thank you for helping me get it resolved.

  • Kindle for Mac and Rapport

    Found that Lion OS not supported by Rapport, security software, yet!!
    Old Kindle app doesnt work in Lion, nor the Kindle for Mac downloaded from Amazon. Delete the Kindle App from your Mac then download it from the App store, then it works!!
    All these things are I suppose the teething troubles of a new OS but they are time wasting and drive me nuts!!!!!

    The App store is the Apple store for Apps, click on the capital A in your dock to go there. Type Kindle in the search box, its a free download but you will need to use your Apple ID. Hope this helps.

  • Kindle for Mac not working at all on my MBP.

    Have Snow Loepard installed. Kindle always used to work. Suddenly, one day, after OSX update no longer worked. Mac and Amazon don't even recognize a fresh install of kindle for mac. A line of question marks in the center of the kindle page. Weird. I called Amazon over a week ago about the issue. Still no response, though I was told some people were having similar issues. Anyone else experiencing this with Kindle for Mac?

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3200518?start=0&tstart=0
    According to the guys in this forum, the correct answer is not the correct answer.  The actual correct answer is to follow the steps outlined to uninstall the Kindle program from your computer (Do not use Clean My Mac).  Then, redownload the program through the Apple App Store (NOT Amazon), and you should be good.  It seems there's a discrepency between the coding of the program in the App Store and the actual program off of Amazon's website that the actual program off of Amazon's website doesn't account for with Lion.
    Hope that works for you guys- spread the word to all the other 100 forums about Kindle if it does.

  • HP Easy Scan 1.1.1 for Mac Quits on Launch

    HP Easy Scan 1.1.1 for Mac Quits on Launch. I have installed HP Easy Scan 1.1.1 and it quits right after it launches while connecting to my HP Photosmart 2610xi multifunction printer. I have rebooted the computer, uninstalled the printer drivers and reinstalled them all without success. I want to restore the ability to scan to jpeg format which was somehow lost between the Apple/HP printer driver and system software updates in the last couple of months.

    Hi @tgdavis48
    By reinstalling the HP Drivers, have you reinstalled those by using Apple Software Update as instructed on HP.com or may you used any HP installer from the HP site?
    Please clarify the following, that will help getting a better understandment of any possible cause and what can be tried.
    Looking forward for your updates,
    Shlomi

  • Where do Downloaded Kindle for MAC ebook files reside?

    Where do Downloaded Kindle for MAC ebook files reside?

    I use PDF Reader Pro, though it is not coming up in the windowsphone.com website.
    there is another one called a better PDF reader: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/a-better-pdf-reader/75ccaa96-e827-486c-82d2-fa6676c24a02
    and I also use File Hub: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/file-hub/eb83936a-6e24-4729-ba17-2100870ec17b
    but just like AH said above, you can tap+hold/delete and find the files if they are there.
    with the PDF Reader Pro: once I download and view a file, it will always show in that reader until I delete it.
    when I download and open a pdf, it gives me the option to open it with a list of the products that I have installed that can view them.

  • Apparently, I downloaded "Kindle for Mac, Twice. It appears in preview and desktop. cannot access nor register.Please advise?

    Apprently, I downloaded "Kindle for Mac" twice. It appears on my Desktop and Preview. Cannot access not register it
    Please advise?

    Yes, I didn't think it was very good either!
    You are correct in I should have said "Repair Disk" - Verify Permissions is not available on the maxtor drive ( it is dimmed) in Repair Disk.
    Until now, the drive has worked perfectly, and I did not install any of Maxtors software when I originally connected the drive to this system, I just formatted it as a Mac Extended and it worked great. It was only after the fresh Erase & Install - even then it worked fine. It was only when I created a new account that the problem started.
    What I have done is get hold of a demo version of a program called "Mac Drive 6" which allows you to read any Mac formatted disk or drive on a Windows system, - fortunately i still have my Windows XP Pro system which I have also connected to my home network.
    So for the next four days (the length of the demo) I can access all of my files on the disk and copy them to my Windows system.
    This is really great because I have all my data and images back which were my biggest concern.
    I thought I might get another drive anyhow, and when I have everything backed up on a new drive and on the Windows system, I can then reformat the Maxtor drive and start afresh with it.
    Thanks for all your help anyhow.

  • Kindle for mac not working with lion

    Since I installed Lion, amazons Kindle app doesn't seem to be able to sync nor download ebooks. Soulution anyone?

    As Josh said, this forum is for iPad questions and it appears you are asking about the Kindle app on Mac OS X. If that is indeed the case, then according to posts in Amazon's forums, this is a common problem for which there appears to be no solution at this time. Amazon will probably have to release an update to their Kindle for Mac application for Lion compatibility. Contact Amazon for more information.
    Regards.

  • Elements 8 for Mac won't launch

    I just installed this program and it won't launch when double click the icon. This is a brand new laptop so the sys are current. Any ideas?

    Barbara,
    Thanks for the help, but I'm embarrassed to say that my problem was the fact I was double clicking on the icon instead of single clicking. I've only had this machine a couple weeks and old habits are hard to break.

    Subject: Elements 8 for Mac won't launch
    Then I would do this. Uninstall it (there's a link to the uninstaller in the PSE 8 application folder), and then create a new admin user (system preferences>accounts), log into that user and run the install from there. Be sure to repair permissions afterwards. If all is well in the new account you can log back into your existing account and delete the new one.

  • Acrobat pro for mac won't launch

    acrobat pro for mac won't launch.  New install.  Crashes and sends report to Apple.

  • PSE 8 (for Mac) refuses to launch - with message

    Just tried to launch PSE 8 (for Mac), it didn't launch, but produced the message: "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available."
    (tried this four times with the same result each time)
    Conclusion: because the most recent backup to RAID filled that disk, PSE 8 cannot access the scratch disk on the RAID backup disk.
    (This, even though I removed over 80 GB of old video files from the archive.)
    I purchased PSE 8 11/28/2009 - can I use an app removal utility to remove this installed version and re-download another installer?  It seems the most direct approach but first I have to ensure I can download a "replacement" and find out the original serial number to activate that replacement. 
    The original directions from Adobe indicate that all I have to do is access my order history and the serial number will be on the order form.  I'm not seeing any clearly identified serial number on that order. 
    So my question are;
    1. Should I first remove the original PSE 8 - or just the plists?
    2. how to find the original serial number?
    I do know already: once I have PSE 8 replacement installation running, I must set a scratch disk location on another (roomier) drive. this is not a problem: I have two 1 TB drives installed in my Mac Pro in addition to the two 500 GB drives which make up the (old) RAID. 
    Mac Pro 1,1 (2.66 Ghz Quad Core Xeon), OS 10.5.8

    Good call but it didn't work: tried deleting those plists twice.  Still get "disk not available" message w/ immediate PSE quit.
    Further: I ran Diskwarrior on my "home" drive, the cloned "home" drive AND the RAID backup. 
    This included Directory repair, File Check and Hardware Check on all three volumes.
    Also repaired permissions on "home" drive and cloned drive.
    I then repeated the attempt to launch PSE 8 on my "home" drive and the cloned "home" drive: same result. (failure)
    Sidebar: While running Disk Utility to repair permissions, I happened to click on the "RAID" button and found that
    one drive is listed as "Failed" and the other is listed as "Degraded." 
    Just in case that has anything to do with the PSE 8 failure to launch: I am now using Disk Utility to rebuild that RAID set.  This takes 4 hours and will wipe it clean.  I'll try in the morning once again to launch PSE 8 and get back with result.

  • Palm Desktop 4.0 for Mac Fails to Install

    I just downloaded Palm Desktop for Mac 4.0 -- actually file name is MacDesktop_40_TV.sit -- but it fails to install. Double clicking on the *.sit file creates a program file named Palm Desktop Installer with a creation date of Sep 17, 2002. When I run the installer, the process aborts at file 749 of 791 (file UPD107). Retrying gives the same result.
    Have others had the same problem? Is it a problem with the *.sit expansion process? Is the installer or the Desktop program incompatible with OS X 10.4.11? Note: I did try to establish a Chat Support Session with Palm tech support, but it asked me to download/install a Java RE plugin, and clicking that download button never started the download, and searching for the plugin on the Palm website came up with nothing....
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. 
    BTW, I have an ancient Handspring Visor Edge (Palm OS 3.5.2H2.0) that I've been syncing with Palm Desktop running on Windows XP under Parallels. I'm hoping I can get my data into the Mac environment so I can eventually transfer my data to a new iPod touch. Any additional advice you might have on that process would be welcome.

    I had an identical experience when I first got my handheld - the palm software wouldn't install on my iMac properly - the same error came up every time, and while it had successfully installed the desktop, hotsync manager was sadly missing. I spent hours playing with it to no avail, and the only solution I found was using it on my macbook running 10.5x (as opposed to 10.2.8). However, the date on the installer (2002) reflects the last time it was updated, which means that it should run with no difficulty on any machine since then. The .sit compression has nothing to do with it - it is one of the most common compression formats for the macintosh platform. It might help if you posted the exact error message you got, but a fairly common fix is to repair disk permissions for your hard drive in disk utility.
    Hope this helps

  • Cannot download Kindle for Mac to MacBook Air OS X 10.9.5

    I am unable to download Kindle of Mac to my MacBook Air running OS x 10.9.5.  I have been unable to elicit a response from Kindle support and cannot the version from the App Store or from Kindle.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
