Mavericks won't open preview, app store, stickies
Hi,
I accidentally used Clean My Mac and forgot how it erases applications. Anyways, I would like to use preview and can't.
I'd really like to download Yosemite but can't open the App store. No, I didn't do time machine. And switching user accounts doesn't help either.
Any ideas?
many thanks,
Mike
Backup first because you never know what might happen.
Boot into Recovery and Reinstall OS X.
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
That should replace the lost parts and should not damage any of your files.

Software update won't open, or App Store, and Mail won't let me select messages.
Hello,
Moutain Lion is playing up on my machine. Software update won't open, or App Store, and Mail won't let me select messages. Everything else takes at least 20 seconds to open fully.
Any ideas on what to do here?
Cheers,

After upgrading to mavericks, i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, etc
Why i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, software update, etc after upgrading to mavericks? How can i fix this? please help me
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, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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 on some models, 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 and Wi-Fi on certain models. 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. -
Installing 10.9.2, "shutdown because of a problem", now Mail won't open and App Store won't work.
While installing OS X 10.9.2, my MacBook Pro suddenly "shut down because of a problem" (which isn't the first time that happened). Checking the Apple menu and "About this Mac" it says I have 10.9.2 installed. I tried to see if I could reinstall the update, figuring something went wrong when the computer shut down, but the App Store won't work, clicking on "Updates" or any other tab doesn't change the screen from the App Store icon in the center. Mail also won't open, which is what I ; I tried to see if I could reinstall the app, but I don't have the CD that the support page said I needed. It seems to be only Mail and FaceTime that won't open so far. How do I fix this?
I took it in to my university's apple care and they wiped and reinstalled the OS.
Next time I will just go in and ask, since it doesn't look like anyone else is getting any real help with this problem! -

What have to do to solve this problem?You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
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 the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
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. The same goes for Xcode. -
After OSX Mavericks update I now can't open the App store
Upgraded to the new Mavericks OS however when i try to open the App store as well as a few other apps fail to load at all.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
TomIf you haven't solved this yet, try re-installing the OS. If you have solved it, please share how you fixed it.
Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions. Then reinstall the OS.

i just bought a macbook pro and the mountain lion free update applied correctly but the internet went down and now the download won't appear/ continue, and when i open the app store it requests me to pay for the update? what can i do?

Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't update. App Store says update was applied, but when I open Pages/Number/Keynote, the version of it shows the old version.
When you updated, the old version remained on your Mac, in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09. Any icons you have on the Dock still point to that old version. Try opening the Numbers that is located in your main Applications folder, not the one in the subfolder. If that works, then drag that one to the Dock.

About the Mac
I recently updated to Yosemite and now I am having problems with the above mentioned apps, not opening at all.
I am unable to check to which version its update to, or even update to next version.You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
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 the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.

If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -

My ipod won't open the apps when i click on them?
My ipod won't open the apps when i click on them, i've restarted my ipod multiple of time, closed everything that's open, and they are still not working, but i get the notifications through, please help!
Try downloading and installing another free app from the App Store. This has resolved the issue for a number of users. Otherwise, you may need to try and restore your iPod from a previous backup via iTunes.

Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading
Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading -- this means I can't get to the store
i have resolved the issue.
I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could. -

I'm having this problem. It started yesterday. I have 2 updates, but when I open the App Store, they won't appear.
Do you have apps purchased with a differnt AppleID?
For example, mine shows 12 updates but only 2 show up as being available.
The others are on my daughters account.
I log out of my iTunes account and log in with hers and those updates show up. -
Why can I not open the Apps Store as usual?
Close the App Store and reboot the iPad. Assuming you are running iOS 7 ....
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the App Store app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
