Problem Launching Applications

Greetings everyone.
I’m trying this again, as previous suggestions haven’t worked ...
I’ve got a bit of a problem with my Titanium PowerBook, and,
as always, when I can’t seem to fix it myself, I turn to the
great people of the world for assistance.
The machine:
Titanium PB G4, 400MHz, 10 GB HD w/5GB available, 256MB RAM w/VMemory on, running OS9.1.1
The problem:
When opening some programs, such as PhotoShop or Adaptec Toast (not at the same time), the application will start to open and then immediately quit. No error message or other indication of a problem. Occasionally, a program will open, but immediately upon trying to use it (i.e., opening a photo, creating a
new document, etc.) the program crashes. As this is happening with more than one of my programs, I feel it is a OS problem and not the specific program.
Examples of memory specifics:
Photoshop-Suggested Size:16384k; Min. Size: 16384k; Pref Size: 23616k.
Toast-Suggested Size: 8000k; Min. Size: 8000k; Pref Size: 10220k.
What I have done to try to solve this problem:
I trashed the preferences for both these apps and the Finder and System prefs, rebuilt the desktop, and also increased/decreased the memory for each app. No change.
I ran Disk Doctor and TechTool with no problems found.
I completely deleted all PhotoShop, Toast, or other effected/relevant files and programs from the computer, and re-installed everything via disk. No change.
I re-built the Desktop and zapped the PRAM. No change.
Note: All other apps seem to work fine and as expected. Just these
few apps are giving me the problems. I feel that it is a computer-wide problem that is affecting only a few applications, not an application problem.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!!

G4 Titanium Mac OS 9.1.x

If it gets to the point where the only thing left for you to try is a clean install of Mac OS 9 (and the associated headache of reinstalling all the third-party system extensions), try this procedure that I call "the big Preferences folder purge." Only try this if your next option is a clean install.
The following procedure is something I posted in another forum a few years ago. I found the text for that posting in an email, so I'll copy/paste it here, for your consideration.
The procedure is "purging" the preference files in the Preferences folder (the one inside the System Folder). There have been utilities that attempt to selectively "weed out" preference files that are not being used, but I think that's only part of the problem. I suspect that some key preference files can become corrupted or set improperly (either intentionally or by accident). This might lead to some of the instability experienced by users in the classic Mac OS and/or applications.
My old desktop Mac was running fine, but I experienced occasional freezes or "Finder quit unexpectedly" errors (which are almost always unrecoverable). The problem seemed to be getting worse.
Looking through my System Folder, I found I had over one thousand files in my Preferences folder. Many of the files were for programs I tried just once or from old programs I stopped using long ago. Even if this was not a problem, I wanted to get rid of all those unnecessary files. I came up with and used the procedure outlined below to do the "big purge" in a way that was easily reversible, if necessary.
(1) In the System Folder, find the Preferences folder and COPY it elsewhere, that is, MAKE A DUPLICATE of the entire Preferences folder. If it is on the same volume, be sure you are NOT moving the Preferences folder.
(2) Record key Control Panel settings, such as for remote access and network configuration, if this info is not already recorded or memorized.
(3) Back in the System Folder, rename the Preferences folder "Preferences Old" or any appropriate name. Later, if you need to "undo the purge," you can simply rename this folder back to "Preferences."
(4) Now create a new (empty) folder in the System Folder and name it "Preferences" (make sure that's plural).
(5) Optional step - If you have any system/application configuration settings that you absolutely do not want to have to replicate -OR- if you do not want to dig up the registration numbers for applications require them, find the relevant preference files in the DUPLICATE folder and copy them back into the NEW Preferences folder. Use your DUPLICATE folder to ensure keeping the "Preferences Old" folder intact, so that you can "undo the damage" if necessary.
(6) Restart the Mac.
(7) Fresh preference files related to the Mac OS and Finder should be created automatically. Adjust Control Panel settings as needed.
(8) Run your frequently used applications. Allow them to create fresh preference files. If some applications need licensing information and you don't want to go find those old registration cards (or emails), find the relevant preference files in the DUPLICATE folder and copy them back into the NEW Preferences folder. Use your DUPLICATE folder to ensure keeping the "Preferences Old" folder intact, so that you can "undo the damage" if necessary.
[As much as possible, allow the OS and applications to create fresh preference files.]
(9) Run your system to ensure it works properly. If there are problems and you need to revert to the old preference files, just delete the NEW Preferences folder and rename the unchanged "Preferences Old" folder back to "Preferences." Restart.
(10) If everything is fine (or better), you can eventually delete the "Preferences Old" folder and the DUPLICATE Preferences folder. Or just keep them around until the next time you decide to do a preference file purge.
After purging my Preferences folder, my system has been absolutely stable running Mac OS 9.1. No freezes, no "Finder quit unexpectedly" errors, and fewer application crashes. Additionally, instances when my system appeared to "hang" for a few seconds have disappeared, which may have been caused by the OS rifling through the 1000+ files in my old Preferences folder, looking for a specific file.

Unable to launch application with webstart

Hi all, hope someone can help
I recently installed j2se 5.0 update 1 and uninstalled my earlier version of 1.4.2_06.
Since uninstalling the earlier version I am unable to run my application, I get the following error:

I'm a programming illiterate having the same problem with the latest java.

Java - Unable to launch application

The problem: When I try to run ASDM on my Cisco 5550, I'm getting the dialog box "Unable to launch application". When I click on "Details", I see the error: "The application has requested a version of the JRE (1.5+) that is not installed".
The system I'm running this on is a Mac Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5, and the latest Java version 7u13.
The initial lines of "show ver" on the firewall are:
# show ver
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(2)
Device Manager Version 6.3(3)
This is a relatively new problem; as recently as two weeks ago I was able to run ASDM with no problem. I suspect that the latest security-related Java updates have caused something to break.
Any ideas?

Solved this one on my own: The solution was to install the latest ASDM, 7.1.1_52. (This had occurred to me, but I didn't know if was compatible with the older ASA 8.2(2). It looks like it is!)

SGD - Fails to launch applications

We are having a problem with SGD - we can not launch applications.
We have SGD 4.2 running on a Solaris 10 server.
We had SGD up and running good. However, we had several things occur and now it does not work. First we had to relocate our server due to building renovations. Then shortly after setting up the system in the new location, we had a hard drive fail. And unfortunately the sys admin guys did not have a good/current backup of the drive. We did however reload a backup that was about 9-months old. However it does not work correctly now.
We can bring up the main SGD web page, can login to the system, and see the applications and function set up in object manager. However when we try to launch an application it fails.
Looking in the error.log file we see a message "failed to open display"
However we can not see how SGD sets the display to enable the application to be viewed over the web connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

It is a good thing to have as much help as possible. One of the other SAs working on the problem entered his google search a little different and came up with this hit: (http://blogs.sun.com/malhar/entry/sun_secure_global_desktop_tarantella -- text below) that fixed our problem. Thought I would post it here for the next person who runs into the same problem.
Sun Secure Global Desktop (Tarantella) "DISPLAY variable not set" error message?
If you've been facing a problem with the erstwhile Tarantella, now Sun Secure Global Desktop (SGD), where you get don't see X applications opening up when you click the link, you're in luck.
I have the solution.
If you are fast enough to click on the "Show Details" button before the application loading window opens and then closes, you will see in the logs that the application cannot open because it finds that the DISPLAY variable is not set.
Also, if you read the documentation, you will see that the admin guide explicitly asks you to NOT set the DISPLAY variable which gets set automatically. So where's the problem?
What you need to do is this:
1. Open the /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tarantella script in your favourite text editor
2. Look for TTASSHCLIENT (this is usually commented out)
You will notice that the line will look something like this
#TTASSHCLIENT="";export TTASSHCLIENT
3. Uncomment the line
4. Add /usr/bin/ssh -X inside the quotes on the line to make the line look like this
TTASSHCLIENT="/usr/bin/ssh -X";export TTASSHCLIENT
And restart!
That's it. You're problem is solved. I accept your thank yous in advance

Launch Application Error in PC Suite in XP Laptop

Hi
I can download PC suite onto Windows XP laptop and use all its functionality with my 6230 phone
But when I end my laptop session and logout I cannot use any of the functionality when log back into my laptop
Get launch application error
When I download PC suite again , all functionality restored but lost again when logout of laptop

Hi,
I think that problem can be releated to internet connection so could you try to start Launch Application when you have internet connection open and also when you do not have disconnected from net. Does problem happen in both cases?
Anyway, I would be nice to get some log files from Launch application....(then I can try to find reason for this problem)
If you can take those log files, do this:
1. Go to ttp://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html and download Filemon (it is end of the page).
2. Start FileMon.exe and click 'Options', 'Filter/Highlight..' and set string: *Launc* to 'Include' option.
3. Go to http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html and download Regmon (it is end of the page).
4. Start RegMon.exe and click 'Options', 'Filter/Highlight..' and set string: *Launc* to 'Include' option.
5. Start "Launch Application" manually and when you get that error message, save logs from both applications and attach those log files to your response.

Launch Application empty...

Hi,
Running Arch Linux 64bit on Acer 8930G 2.27GHz, 4GB DDR2, 160GBSATA and Nvidia GeForce 9700M GT 512MB using KDE 4.8 desktop environment.
When I clicked on a hyperlink via an email mesage the Launch Application popped up and it is empty.
Is that a bug? How do I fix it?

Clicked a hyperlink from what? What kind of hyperlink was it? HTTP, magnet (a la TPB)?
PS: 37 views because "Launch Application empty..." sounds like dyslexia. Some of them could've been caused by you, like for example refreshing the page a few times.
You shouldn't expect help. Not immediate help, anyway. We're all volunteers here. And Arch is a DIY kind of distribution, where users are encouraged to solve their own problems. It's why you see so many solved topics coming from the Arch forums. It implies a certain mindset.

Finally able to get into the Calssic Webtop. I ended up increasing the file descriptors and rebooting. I then totally removed the package again and installed again.
I get a java i/o exception if I select the first desctop login, but I fI select the classic webtop, I can at least log in and get the display page of the applications avaialble. When I select an application, I get a server timeout and the app does not start.
Now, I just need to figure what the issues are now and resolve them.

Launching application first time too slow

Hi
I installed 32bit Arch on my Acer Travelmate 5744Z laptop few days ago. Before I used Arch Linux on my desktop PC for years. There everything works fine, but on laptop after the boot launching applications first time is really slow for example chromium needs more than 5 sec. Boot process is fast, I have no problem with it. I read this and hdparm gives more than 40 MB/s. After first launch they works fine. I tried to use preload but no changes. I have a problem with MOC player too... I really like this player but starting play is slow too and needs a few second. I use it with autonext and shuffle and after starting song change is without any problem. But if I stop it play starts very slow again....
Any idea what should I do?
Thanks in advance

Unwanted "launch application" box comes up when trying to download a file

On trying to download an exe file from a web page, the download page comes up and immediately goes to the 'launch application' box.

If you remove the mimeTypes.rdf file then all current download actions should be removed and Firefox should ask what to do.<br />
You can still check if there is an action for such files in Tools > Options > Applications

Hotsync error: SystemMgr.c, Line:4038, Error Launching Application

When I try to hotsync, my plam displays this error message, and I must click "reset"- the screen goes blank, flashes the tungsten logo & music, and I set the date/time.
I have not lost the info on my palm- I just need to sync it into my new computer.
Please help!
Thank you in advance.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I am having exactly the same problem on my LifeDrive. The entire message I get when I try to HotSync is:
"A reset was caused on 11/30/06 at 1:09 am
while running "":
SystemMgr.c, Line:4038, error launching application"
I also noted that, if I try to access "Files" from the launch window it also causes a reset, with the following information:
"FileRegistry.c

I hope that this additional information might help in recognizing a correcting the problem

Flash Catalyst Launch Error Problem

Hello,
I recently installed the web production of Adobe CS5. I have been trying to launch Flash Catalyst and been getting this error message:
Internal Error:
"A file system error is preventing Adobe Flash Catalyst from launching"
Then I have to hit "ok" and the program doesn't load, does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you.

Same error but here's more info
FC launches fine when logged in as a standard local user account on the machine.
FC fails to launch when logged in on a network user account (LDAP, Open Directory account on XServe).
This makes me think that FC is trying to write a file in a location that is forbidden for it to use.
I've deleted all network user Preferences files and it still fails to launch.
I've deleted all netowrk user Application Support Files and it still fails to launch.
Problem exists for my configurations
10.6.8
iMac, MacBook Pros
All Adobe updates for CS5 up to date
No other Adobe apps in the Master Suite collection have similar problems.
Somebody out there has a fix for this...please help.

Cannot launch applications sometimes

Hi there,
I've got a knarly issue here. After a certain period of time (a couple of days for instance given that I leave the machine switched on) I cannot log into my computer via the screen saver password prompt (I just get the spinning ball, no login dialog displays). Additonally, at this time, I cannot ssh to the machine (whereupon I normally can). Finally, I have been doing something on the machine (using various applications) and then find myself unable to launch any other application via the dock (bouncing icon eventually times out). The latter problem has happened twice. In this instance I can still activate applications that are already running (they come to the front etc.). Additionally logging out in this instance is a problem and I have to force-quit things to get through the logout (including the Finder). Finally when it gets to actually logging out, I don't get the dialog to login again (just the clock style progress indicator with the bars which goes on forever).
Very mysterious. I've a suspicion that the above problems are related.
I have done a couple of things to this machine that may be relevant: increased the RAM; and (ii) updated the Pioneer DVR-110D firmware (this was a third party drive that I bought given that the original drive stopped working).
I have run memtest on the memory with several passes. Everything reports ok. I realise that memtest won't necessarily report all faults, but I know that if it does report a fault, there's definitely a fault. I want to get my hands on the Apple Hardware Profiler to do another test - anyone know how to get it?
Most importantly can anyone explain any of the symptoms I'm seeing? The machine is obviously still alive given the spinning ball when trying to wake up from sleep in the screen saver, and activation of existing application.
Any clues and diagnostic ideas are greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
-C

re: SSH. I presume you've enabled Remote Login on the
affected Mac? Remote Login has to be enabled before
the problem occurs if you are to SSH into a
frozen/hung Mac. However, depending on the problem,
the affected Mac may be so frozen or hung that you
simply can't get in via SSH.
I can normally log on to the machine using SSH. In fact, at one time, I established an SSH connection and then the problem occurred subsequently. My SSH connection, having already been established, allowed me to look around the machine.
In lieu of the AHT, and as noted in my AHT FAQ, you
can use Micromat
TechTool Pro 4 for hardware testing. You want to
use version 4.0.4 or later with Tiger, but it is best
to use the latest version, which is 4.1.2. You'll
want the CD so you can boot from it to run the
hardware tests.
I will look into this software now.
Another small update: given that the machine went weird again yesterday I managed to mount a volume via AppleShare and have a look in /var/logs. However I didn't see anything really out of the ordinary. Given that these logs get archived on reboot, any ideas on something that I might look for?
Once again the symptoms are that: I cannot su to any other account (whereas I normally can); and (ii) I cannot launch applications (also whereas I normally can of course). Apps are launched via the Finder Dock. I'm suspection that (ii) is caused by . The fact that I cannot su to any other user is most weird.
The machine is now running without the non-Apple memory, Activity Monitor is running and I've disabled passwords being required to wake the computer up. Thus if it does go down again I should be able to do some more diagnosis.
