MacBook Pro 3rd Party App not loading just 'flashes' 10.8.5

Hi
Could really use some help here, been using this forum for around 6 years and have managed to solve all my Mac problems through it which has been great, but I have an issue I really can't figure out.
Replaced my HD with an SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner and everything has worked perfectly apart from one really annoying problem.
If I unzip a 3rd party App (not .dmg these work ok) for a piece of music software (as that is all I use this Mac for) it just 'flashes' for a second and stops - where as normally it will ask for Password to make changes and install it.
If I use Console to inspect the error I get this…
com.apple.launched.peruser.501:([0x0-044044].com.native-instruments.kExecutableN ame[318]) Job failed to exec(3) for weird reason: 13
Dock: no information back from LS about running process
This is what I have tried.
1. Security and Privacy Settings are set to allow non Apple Apps.
2. I have repaired Permissions in Disc Utility and from Terminal in Recovery HD via resetpassword command.
3. I have opened the app for the Get Info part and I have Read/Write permission on it.
4. I booted in Safe Mode, still the same.
5. I created a new Admin user on my Mac and tried to open the same App after unzipping and it immediately asks for the prompt to enter password to make changes. (so the download/unzip process is ok).
So, I guess it really must have something to do with my permissions somehow (or not!). As this is the only thing that does not work I feel I have narrowed it down but just can't fix it.
Any help/advice will be much appreciated.

Ok
I have fixed this. May be of help to others at some point.
I have been using Zipeg for .zip folders for about 4 years and never had an issue, I saw on a non related post about .zip files and how they can become corrupted during de-compression.
Anyway, I deleted zipeg and re-installed it, still the same, after that I read a post about OSX built in Archive Utility, it wasn't in my Utility folder so another post gave the path. I had no idea it even existed.
System / Library / Core Services - Archive Utility.
Using this all is working perfectly again.

A number of problems exist including the notorious MacKeeper. Start by removing it according to the instructions below.
Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice).
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it.
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
An apparently modified Hosts file is another concern, which is apparently blocking Adobe software requests to contact its server for whatever reason it needs to do that. If you know the reason for altering Hosts then you can troubleshoot it on the basis of that knowledge. If you do not know the reason, it often occurs as a result of installing pirated or "cracked" software to circumvent its ability to contact an external host to verify their software was legitimately obtained. If that's the case then anything is possible as a result of having installed illegally obtained software.
Awesome Screenshot is adware. Most people don't install such things unless they are deceived into doing so.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. For Safari, go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone. For browsers other than Safari, perform the equivalent actions.
For an explanation or how this may have occurred and how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
Uninstall the following according to their respective instructions.
MicroMat "TechTool Pro"
Western Digital "drive utility" software
Intego "Washing Machine"
You need to be much more circumspect regarding the software you choose to install on your Mac. May I suggest that you review the following setting in System Preferences?
Although you may easily override that setting, it will serve to protect you from inadvertently installing garbage.

3rd Party Apps Not Opening?

Hey, earlier today I installed a 3rd party application and i noticed once I installed it any other 3rd party application that I downloaded would not open so i uninstalled the program which I think was causing the problem yet the problem is still occuring, I cannot download any 3rd party app and open it succsefully. When I go to open a 3rd party app it display a few pixels in a line on the dock asif it was about to display the application icon but then it doesnt open?
I have tried verifying my disk permissions and repairing them but nothing it working?
Any reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

I think it'll be better to restore your system using time machine to an earlier state...but i too am clueless to what exactly is the problem...try listing down the changes you made just before the problem started and if possible post them up here so that a more informed suggestion can be given

Loss of Music and Video and 3rd party apps not working on 3G

I've had to restore my 3G iphone about 10x now. The phone keeps "losing" my music and video, and then the 3rd party apps don't work. A reset does not help, I have to restore my phone and set it up as a new phone each time. I went to the Genius Bar, they gave me a new phone, but said it was likely a software issue. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a way to fix it? I waste like 2 hours re-syncing my phone every time this happens. I'm so disappointed with this iPhone 3G...I wish I hadn't sold my original iPhone and could switch back to that. Please, any help that anyone can offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you for replying. Did try this again, and then another recovery (holding down 2 buttons 'til Apple icon) but no luck.

3rd party apps not working on new iPad 4G, 32GB.

Having read many threads on this, I have re-stored (existing backup and new), re-set, re-synced. I have downloaded new apps, deleted old ones and redownloaded, have tried to drag and drop apps from Library to Devices. Have reset my Apple ID on computer and pad, and currently have only one ID and then restored as new. Apple apps work fine. But not one 3rd party app opens. A short black flash on the screen and nothing. All the supposedly active apps' icons show in the "active dock". What am I missing?

Thank you for replying. Did try this again, and then another recovery (holding down 2 buttons 'til Apple icon) but no luck.

IPhone 4s 3rd Party Apps not working

On Wednesday I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and all my 3rd party apps worked fine. Then on Friday when my iPhone 4S arrived I transferred everything over. The phone works great and all the core apps work fine, but none of the 3rd party apps work at all. They "blink" if I click on them but none of them will launch - even ones that have just been updated. I have a couple of key apps with years worth of data that I really can't afford to lose. I have done a hard reset. I have restored the software and restored from backup and still the problem is the same.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and more importantly how I can resolve it?
Thanks.

This is what I found out from another post and it immediately solved my problem:
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.

3rd party applications not working, just bounce

First timer here - thanks for all the help in advance!
My gf's computer all of a sudden won't start any 3rd party apps like Photo Shop or Word. She's 2,500 miles away right now, so I don't have the ability to look myself, but I have no ideas. She clicks on them and they just bounce.
Please help me get a get out of jail card for future use!

Hi Red and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Sometimes when apps won't open, it's because the hard disk is full. Here's how to check to see how much free space is available.
Launch Disk Utility from the Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left. Now, tell her to look at the bottom of that page where it says: Capacity and Available. Rule of thumb... never allow free disk space to fall below 15 - 20%. It takes a minimum of 15% free disk space just to boot a Mac.
If that isn't the issue, because she can't open PS or Word, it might be a corrupted font that she has used in both those applications. Tell her to try this. She needs to find this file:
com.apple.FontBook.plist It's here: /Users/HerName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file as any Mac will create a new one for her.

3rd Party Apps not working after 3.1 update

As the topic says, none of my third party apps are working at the moment. I tried doing a full restore and backup and that doesn't seem to do anything. I've also noticed that most of my music is not syncing, even though podcasts and movies are. I'm really trying to restore everything to the way it was because I have some valuable data on my third party apps that I really can't afford to lose.
Any ideas?

Same problem.
iPhone 3gs 32MB and MacBook Pro w/ iTunes 9.0: Updated iPhone to 3.1 software today and all apps fail at launch except the native ones. Thinking it was an authorization problem, I tried to purchase an app on the phone. It downloads but also won't launch. I then bought it through iTunes 9.0 and synced, but that fails as well. Did a full restore, and one hour of sync time later no change.
If this is happening to me it must be pretty common. I'm using all standard equipment that is under a year old. No jailbreak or other funky stuff. Anyone else with this problem please post. Not sure what else to do. Genius bar appts are booked up today, so booking for tomorrow night.

Help! My MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) will not load!

My MacBook Pro will turn on and off. When I turn it on, I hear the chime and the fan, but all I see is the Apple logo with the loading circle. It stays on that screen forever and sometimes a "no symbol" (circle with line through it) will come up. It just started doing this one day. I opened my computer after it was asleep, and my log in box never popped up for me to type my password in. So I turned it off and this problem started when I turned it on. what is wrong and is there anything I can do to fix it?

Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

3rd Party Apps Not Working . . .

Woke up this morning, turned on my iphone and was greeted by a screen informing me that my phone was good only for emergency calls and that I should connect to computer and iTunes.
So, I did.
This restored the phone to active status, but during the sync some weird things happened:
I was told to an update to carrier settings was available, I clicked accept to download and received an error code saying the update failed (error code -4)
The computer reported and error trying to sync my apps (error code -4)
The sync then finished and said I could disconnect. After doing so none of my third party apps worked. They start to load and then immediately crash. Not one of them works.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, I actually used the iPhones erase all data and media function to clear the phone and start from scratch (all my stuff was backed up),
I then tried to sync, everything loaded fine except the apps. I now have no third party apps on my phone at all on my phone. They will not load from the computer to the phone. They do show up in the computer though.
The update carrier settings still bombs out (error -4) and the restore from iTunes will not work (same check for current version of iTunes message shows).

MacBook Pro mid 2012 will NOT load any Internet page

Hey guys, my MacBook Pro won't load any web pages. It's connected to my wifi and I've tried everything I can find on the Internet (on my phone) to fix this issue. Every other device I have connects just fine. The web page no matter what it is loads up about 1/10 the way and stops completely. After several minutes it will tell me "Safari can't open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding. I've done network diagnostics and it said "Your Internet connection appears to working correctly." Anyone have any idea how to solve this? It's been going on for about a week and I need my laptop for class. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I can't even reinstall the OS X because my computer cannot connect to apple to verify I'm aloud to reinstall it. This is very frustrating someone please help.

Adobe XI Pro 3rd Party Plugin not working

I copied my 3rd party plug-in to the plug_ins folder like I've done in the past for Adobe 9 and 10 with no issue after upgrading. With Adobe XI, my plug-in doesn't show up. Any ideas?

Are these plugins based on an older Acrobat SDK which based on ADM? If this is the case, you need to re-build them all without this environment; ADM has been completely removed from AXI and RXI.
Feel free to post for more information.

E65 3rd party apps not showing in installation sec...

Just updated the firmware on my E65. Have installed some apps (HandyProfile, HandyAlarm, etc.) and they are listed as installed by the application manager but are not showing up in the Installation section. Any ideas?

The reason is most propably that you had installed your application to phone memory and not to SD card memory. During update most part of the phone memory is erased and you can lost your installed applications. Solution is to download and reinstall those applications.
