Microsoft word opens then closes

Microsoft Word X for Mac (service release 1) opens then closes when I try to open a document.

I think I've recently encountered the very same problem. My guess is that the new Word update doesn't quite jibe with the Intels. You might try this link until MS releases another update: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060810105134613
I cut and pasted the command into Terminal and it seemed to fix the problem. Although a poster on the site claimed that subsequent restarts saw the crashing problem return. Which I guess means that we'll have to keep entering this Terminal command until MS resolves the bug.

    Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • My photoshop opens, then closes itself since enrolling in creative cloud. I reinstalled - same

    My photoshop opens, then closes itself since enrolling in creative cloud. I reinstalled - same. I use photoshop every day - HELP>

    So - I could get no reply on forums so I attempted to speak, on a web chat, to technical support. I waited an hour as the nine people in front of me in the queue were dealt with. Then I outlined my problem, set out above: signed out of CC as soon as I logged in. Tried all the fixes suggested all over the forums and one which was posted on the site by the CC team. No joy. Can't use apps now because when I try to use Photoshop CC (which needs to be authorised at the start of my subscription) it now requires a sign in and offers me only the trial version. "Ah," said my support assistant - you'll need to contact Technical Support. "All the options I was offered online were technical problems," I replied. "This is customer services;" he said, "I'll post you the link". The link sent me back to the page where I started and led me to him. What a shambles. So I have just received an email informing me that Adobe had successfully collected my monthly payment. And I have a service which I can't use. Brilliant.

    Anybody else have this problem?

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • My Facebook application will not work. When you press it, it opens then closes.

    So my Facebook app is not working. It was fine earlier today but then out if the blue it stopped working. When u press on the icon it will open then close immediately. How do I fix this? I tried to reset it and that did not help.

    Try closing the FB app: double-click the home button, locate the FB app in the recently used list, press and hold the FB icon, tap the whit dash line in the red circle.
    If that does not work delete the FB app and reload it.

    More details on your upgrade would help. For example, did you upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard or did you simply upgrade from 10.9.0 to 10.9.1.
