Mac won't open any apps

I turned on my MacBook pro today and whenever I click on anything, I get a rainbow wheel. And whenever I click on apps they just bounce and won't open. And sometimes it will just rainbow wheel on login and won't let me in. Basically it's impossible to use. I'm not sure what to do.

It's very likely that your boot drive is failing, or that you have some other hardware fault. If you like, you can try to erase and recreate the boot volume, but I don't know whether it will do any good.
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a cloning tool such as Disk Utility. Preferably both. You must be certain that you can restore everything to the state it's in now.
Boot into Recovery, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you import the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Don't import the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.

  • I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the Safari upgrade, now my iphone won;'t open any apps except the ones loaded on my phone when I got it.

    I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the safari update.  Now I can't open any apps except the ones that came with the phone.  I have tried rebooting, turning it off and on. 
    When I select the icon, it goes to the page then returns to my screensaver.
    It was working well before the update and sync with my Acer netbook.  Have never had any problems with itunes store or downloads.

    this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
    "The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
    And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
    Hope this helps

  • Can't open any apps on my mac book pro that i downloaded from the cloud

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

    I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
    I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
    What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
    HELP!
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
    Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
    Why did it suddenly stop working?
    What can I do to fix it ASAP?
    Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"  - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
    With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
    I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

    There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

    If the preinstalled Apple apps are working OK - download another app - any free app is fine. See if that lets you use the other apps afterward.

  • Safari won't open any page

    I'm using 7.0.5 Safari on Maveriks

    Other devices at home has internet on it, other macbook pro doesn't have a problem with safari.
    in console - no errors
    any page won't load in safari, just a white screen and loading progress..
    What should I do?

    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.

  • XCode 4.6.2 Won't open any window when launched

    Hi,
    I have been running Xcode On OS X 10.7.5 for quite a while without any problem. Launching XCode I had an update request to which I agreed. After the update lauching the XCode won't open any window. I have seen that there were similar problems but on previous versions of XCode.
    I deleted the application from Mission control and dowloaded again from the Mac App Store. Lauching XCode still won't open any window. No freeze, no error messages, the applications sits in the dock and is marked as open, but now window appears.
    Your help would be welcome.
    Regards.
    Alain.

    Hi,
    I am going to reply to my own question.
    The main Xcode Window didn't open by default as I was used too, but had to be selected from the windows menu.
    Too simple I guess!!!!
    Regards.

  • My Mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes

    My mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes, this includes saving in photoshop and uploading photos to Facebook. The dialog boxes do not appear - please help?

    Since you're running Lion, just try a new system install - it won't affect your data or apps, but you should, anyway, have a backup regardless.
    Boot to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. At the Recovery window, first repair permissions again, then verify and, if necessary, repair your hard drive. Then quite Disk Utility and elect to reinstall the OS anew - it will only overwrite system files and the like, not touching your data, apps, etc. It may take awhile to complete.
    After completion, reboot and see if the problem still exists. If it does, I'm just at a loss...

  • Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air or install any app

    Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air. when i am attempting it says "you may need to reinstall app but when i am trying to reinstall it doesn't do anything. i can only browse right now. It happened right after when i deleted some files i was trying to uninstall the useless app and i think i accidently deleted some system files. Right now it is letting me to download the app but i cannot install any of the app or even open any application. please help

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

    seems like yesterday's safari update indeed (somehow) was responsible for my problems: re-installing the latest version of safari helped. at least for now itunes is up and running.

  • IPhoto won't open any windows...

    I recently upgraded my Early 2008 MBPro to Lion. When I launch iPhoto, it doesn't open my library. In fact, it won't open any window but the preferences. I've reinstalled iPhoto with absolutely no luck.
    My library package is still there, and accessible from the finder. How can I get iPhoto working again? Is there a way to manually reconnect the library to it?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • CDs from my MAC won't open on other computers

    CDs from my MAC won't open on other computers

    Any computer, Mac or Windows?
    If so, it's likely your drive. You have no problem reading them back because your drive wrote it, so the heads are in the same place to read as write.
    The problem is the same as way back to the days of floppy disks. If a drive's heads are out of alignment, disks you create will only work well for you. On any other computer, the tracks are not in the standard position.
    To check, try using an external drive (or a different one if that's what you're already using). If the problem goes away using a different drive, then your current one is no good.

  • Any ideas as to why my iPhone 3GS wouldn't be receiving any messages or voicemails unless I turn my phone off? Also, it isn't able to open any apps that require the internet.. Help??

    Any ideas as to why my iPhone 3GS wouldn't be receiving any messages or voicemails unless I turn my phone off? Also, it isn't able to open any apps that require the internet.. Help??

    YOu can try resetting your network or a reboot.  To reboot hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release.  Wait for the phone to boot back up,  you won't lose any data.
