  • Microsoft Office X- won't launch anymore

    Hi:
    I have Microsoft Office X- All of a sudden my Microsoft Office Apps won't launch anymore. They report an error yet if I open a document it will launch Microsoft Word or PowerPoint just fine.
    I have tried to replace the Microsoft Office X from a Super Duper back up but it also is still failing to launch.
    I am guessing "launch services" is goofed up. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Thank you,
    Reid

    I don't think it is an Intel based problem. I have a G5 iMac and a legal old MS office v.X upgrade on top of office 2001 version. Worked fine until a few weeks ago except for a few years needing to keep current with the latest XML free MS converter. Repaired disk/permissions. Dug out all of the app/preferences from my user/library. Reinstalled and it checked with MS mothership. However, still crashes on launch. I think perhaps the most recent OSX security update?

    You may of had a corrupted install. Connect to iTunes backup then restore. Or update the apps on itunes then sync to the iPhone

  • Microsoft Office Apps fail to work after 10.6.7 update

    Has anyone else's office apps failed to open after installing the OS update?
    This is a brand new iMac only 5 days old using office 2011 with current updates.
    Regards.

    After doing some Internet research and speaking with a second-level Apple tech, together we came up with the following solution.
    Shut down, then start in safe-mode (hold shift key while re-starting). This will clear the font cache and re-build it. After doing this, when I started Word 2004 it took some time, but it showed the following fonts as corrupt: APC Courier, Bastion, Chicago TU, Courier TU, Latinski - and indicated they should be removed. Word then started up even though I just clicked OK to those messages and didn't remove them. I then re-started Word and it came up normally even though those fonts are still in the font book. By the way, I have downloaded the freeware app "Fontnuke-1.17," but haven't used it yet. There is a shareware app, "Fontfinagler," which may also be useful if safe mode doesn't work for you.

  • IWork apps won't launch after new HD installed

    My hard drive was failing so all files were backed up to an external hard drive (don't know what method - the Mac store did it for me) then moved to the new hard drive. Now the iWork apps won't launch. Doesn't matter which account I use and makes no difference if I boot in Safe Mode. I've updated iWork and still no difference. The icon flashes a couple of times on the dock, then disappears. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    When you say you updated iWorks are you talking about the update a few days ago? How about just reinstalling the applications?

  • Apps won't launch after disk reformat

    I recently deactivated my Creative Cloud apps on my primary machine because I needed reformat the startup partition. After the reformat everytime I try to launch an app I'm asked to sign in, after the thank you screen the app will not launch (with the exception of Photoshop). Everything works fine on my secondary laptop.
    I'm on OSX 10.6.8. Also, I use Retrospect to clone my system back to the reformatted disk. I'm suspicious that that might be the cause, but I'm also worried about making things worse if I try to reinstall a new system.

    Installing a new system fixed the problem

  • Some apps won't launch after downloading

    I've downloaded and "successfully" installed some applications from the cloud according to the application manager. Bridge, Ai; Id; Muse and Ps will launch without a problem, however Pr family products; Dw; Ae; and Media Encoder  won't launch. All except Dw at least get a splash screen and then crash, Dw just goes nowhere. I've uninstalled the later apps using the uninstaller and tried re-downloading Dw but still doesn't work. What's going on here?

    I'm having the same problem.  Have you found a solution yet?
    Thanks.

  • Lightroom 2 won't launch after install

    After installing onto an XP 32-bit machine that already had Lightroom 2 Beta running, Lightroom 2 now refuses to launch. It is an upgrade version loaded from disc but has killed off all the other versions, too.
    I have un-installed and re-installed repeatedly - rebooting every time - to no avail. Even a new install of Lightroom 1 won't launch - which makes me wonder if there is a rogue file from the Beta version that needs a serious talking to.
    The computer shows the application as correctly installed but it simply won't launch.
    What to do?

    Thanks Lee
    Version 2 and Beta preference files no longer exist after uninstalling and V1.0 still refuses to launch even after removing its preferences.
    Could there be something in the registry that needs a kick?

  • Sampletank 2.5 won't launch after installing Logic update 9.1.7

    After installing 9.1.7 update, my Sampletank 2.5 XL will not launch.  Contacted IK Multimedia to troubleshoot, they pointed the finger back at Apple.  ????

  • Apps won`t launch after update

    That's pretty vague. If you post a few more details, it might increase the chances that someone can help you.
    - What update?
    - What happens when you try to launch those apps?
    - Besides Firefox, what "some other" apps can you launch?

  • Apps. won't launch after system install?

    I had to do a system re-install because of a finder corruption and while the re-install seemed to go okay, many of my third party apps required re-installing, some major apps like FM Pro 11 required re-installing and NONE of my iLife apps will launch.  Any idea, suggestions without having to re-install virtually everything. 

    If you erased the hard drive first, then you should have to reinstall everything. But you did not say what you did to reinstall Snow Leopard.

  • Apps won't launch after sleep

    I've begun to notice a strange condition after my MacBook Pro 15" wakes from sleep. It comes back normally but I cannot launch any app that is not a Universal Binary. I get one bounce and then nothing. If I try to launch a UB app like Safari or any of the other apps they'll open and work normally. If I try to launch anything like any of the Adobe CS apps or any part of MS Office they all bounce once and that's it.
    If I reboot when this happens, everything is fine. It's getting kind of annoying.

    What have you tried to fix this? The things most people try first include:
    Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    Reset the PMU by removing the power and the battery and holding down the power button for awhile.
    Sign on as a different user. If the problem is with your settings, then this might fix it by giving you a fresh start.
    Start up in safe mode (hold down shift key when booting.)
    You may want to boot from the install disk (1) by inserting the disk and holding down the "C" key. You can go to the menu to repair the hard drive.
    If you've already tried them all, then there are some other things....

  • Pro Apps won't launch after migration

    We just migrated from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and FCP, DVDSP, and iDVD all won't open. I tried reinstalling FCS but it didn't work. I used a freeware called Final Cut Remover to try to get rid of all the bits but that didn't work.
    HELP! We have an edit scheduled on this machine tomorrow!
    I had the same problem once before when I upgraded my computer but I had more time so I just did a clean install of OSX and all my apps. I don't have that luxury this time.

    Warning - This is a long post.
    How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
    There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the install disc and go through the following procedure to identify the installed files.
    1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
    2) Click to let the installer check your system
    3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
    4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the files installed, then select all of them
    5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
    6) Open a text editor & paste the list
    7) If you have a printer connected, print
    8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated in the list
    The other way involves the Terminal.
    Using Terminal:
    1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
    2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
    3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
    4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
    5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)
    lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
    6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.
    7) Press Return to view the list
    8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)
    9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.
    10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
    NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System.
