MS Word- Shared Library Error after 10.4.7 Instal

After re-starting after installing the upgrade, I received the message Microsoft Database Shared Library Error: Microsoft Database Daemon><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound and, obviously, no launch of Office products. Any solutions?

After installing 10.4.7 everything but Office apps seemed to work. Office x worked but not Office 2004. Did an archive reinstall (after backing up data) and all apps seem to be working. I plan to keep an eye on this forum and/or to wait for greater minds to fix this mess before I install upgrades. I uninstalled Norton a while back so I don't think that is the issue for me.

Shared Library Error after software update

After a software update check, I downloaded all recommendations which were the following: Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5, iTunes 7.1, iPhoto Update 6.0.6, Security Update 2006-008 (PPC) 1.0, and Mac OS X Update (PPC) 10.4.9.
But upon restarting, I get 2 popup windows entitled Application Launch Failure. The first says: The application "(null)" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "5>HP Communications><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>". The second reads: The application "EEventManager" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "1<EEventManager><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>". I also get one when I try to launch AOL from the desktop. It also has the string with CarbonSound in it.
I tried reinstalling all of the updates and the Security update didn't work at all - which didn't seem to matter since it was an older version (I think??). I then reinstalled the OS update again, but this time I did the combo version. Still no luck. I looked into CarbonSound, but I haven't found anything current or relevant. Any suggestions? Thank you.

CarbonLib - Shared Library Error after 10.4.3 Update

Recently I have begin to notice that I am receiving an error seen below. This applies to Word, Fireworks, Win Media Player and others.
This is really annoying me now and I have googled for it and the way people resolved it was to reinstall Tiger. I don't want to have to do that and loose all my work, apps and everything else. There is a deep nit stuff on my mac and I don't want to loose it. My question: Does anyone know an alternative way of solving it and/or does archve and install clear my setting and apps and only keep my files (would this also solve the problem)?
Having my mac mini for just over 2 months I really don't know much. Thanks for all the help!

After searching the discussions found one post that matches my problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=738743&#738743. I have tried the advice it gave there but it didn't work for me. Anyone have any ideas? What about archvie and install or does that remove my apps and settings etc??

Application Launch Failures after Update: shared library error

Soon after installing the latest Security and Operating System Updates, I discovered that I could no longer run Microsoft Office. I get the following error message when attempting to open any of the components: Application Launch Failure The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "3<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CommonPanels>" I have tried reinstalling the updates but it hasn't helped. I can't reinstall Office because the same error message comes up when I try to open the Microsoft installer. Can anyone help? I'm stuck. Thanks.

Again, thanks.
It's somewhat confusing. The folder /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CommonPanels. framework
contains 3 items, a gray screen marked Common Panels with a small arrow pointing to the lower left edge, a folder marked Versions (which holds folders marked A and Current), a folder marked Current (which has a small arrow pointing to the lower left edge and holds a gray screen marked Common Panels and a folder marked Resources) and a folder marked A (which also contains a gray screen marked Common Panels and a folder marked Resources. When I click the gray screen marked Common Panels, I get a message that there is no default application specified to open the document "CommonPanels".
I'm not sure what all that means. Are there too many Common Panel screens? Does the small arrow have any significance? I've also discovered that, in addition to not being able to run Office, I can't install any new applications (same CarbonLib error message). If you think I need to archive and install the System, I can try to do so.

Microsoft word does not launch because of shared library error

The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "-<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_System>"
that is the message i got when i tried to use microsoft word, how do i fix it?

See if reinstalling Word fixes it. Otherwise, since Word is not an Apple product, you should consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as they are geared more toward the issue than an Apple forum:

Help with Shared Library Errors?

I am getting a Shared Library Error (The application "APP NAME HERE" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "1<APP NAME HERE><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_PrintCore>") whenever I try to open a non-Mac application (Adobe or Microsoft, basically). And when I try to print, I cannot adjust anything in the Page Setup, else the application crashes.
Problems began right after a Software Update: to 10.4.8 (and iTunes to 7.0.1).
Any thoughts? I have seen references here and elsewhere to various shared library error issues, with solutions that have worked for some people sometimes, ranging from dowloading the newest version of Quicktime to archiving everything and reinstalling the system software.

I saw you had posted in the other topic and were
advised to start a new one. But did you try any of
the other approaches?
Yes. I've been trying simpler things first, such as removing certain caches from my Library.
It helps to be
more specific about the particular applications.
Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and In Design 2.0.2. Microsoft Word 11.0 and Excel 11.0 are the ones that give me the shared library error. At the same time (since the upgrade to OS 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.1), I have been having trouble with my printer, a Canon i850 (printer software quits with each printing, although the printer does print the item; and trying to adjust Page Setup causes whatever application I'm in to crash).
Did you look at Yo
u receive a "Shared library" error message when you
start Office for Mac programs for example?
Not until you suggested it. Thanks. It has some of the same suggestions, though — no new ones. I've been trying to avoid the archive/install option, but I guess I'm headed that way.
You say you have iTunes 7.0.1, what version of
Quicktime do you have?
QuickTime Player 7.1.3.
Unfortunately there doesn't (as yet) seem to be a
single fix for all these errors. We'll just have to
keep trying!
That's the sense I'm getting.
Thank you for your attemps to help.

Please help! Shared Library Error... no applications will open!

Hi. Major issues!!
My computer was unplugged for 2 weeks (renovations). When I set it up in my new office, none of my applications would open! (Microsoft, Adobe, AOL, etc...) Safari is working.
I get this error message:
The application "Photoshop" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "5<application><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition>"
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
"8<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition>"
The application "AOL" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
"9<AOL (Bootstrap)><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition>"
The application "AppleWorks" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "4<AppleWorks><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition>"
Here's what I've tried...
I have tried to install combo update 10.3.9. .. didn't work.
My computer was purchased in 2004... just moved to a new house... do not know where my installation dvd is... so to reboot on that is not an option.
I tried disk repair permissions... didn't work!
I opened my log console to view the crash logs... and it appears a lot has crashed... but I can not understand what any of it means!?!
Can anyone help or offer some advice?
Can anyone understand a crash log if I post it?
Please help!?! Taking an online masters course and this is a major dilemma!
Thanks,
Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,
"Can I get one from a mac store? Does it have to be the original one I used when I purchased my mac?"
No, you can no longer purchase 10.3 Panther disks from Apple Stores, online or otherwise. You may however, be able to purchase replacement disks for your computer (if Mac OS 10.3 were the original install disks that came with your mac) by calling Apple and explaining and having the serial number ready of the computer.
If your installation of 10.3 was an upgrade you can purchase retail copies of 10.3 disks online from many resellers, such as on ebay or sites such as FastMac, but be sure to purchase a retail box set and not upgrade or machine specific disks.
Did you perform all of the steps that Kappy steered you to in Dr. Smoke's FAQ first and your only option left is the Archive and Install?

Shared Library Error!

I was working in Adobe Illustrator when a transparent grey screen appeared and siad you need to restart your computer. After restarting I launched Illustrator again and I got this message.
Application Launch Failure
"The Application Illustrator could not be launched because of a shared library error"
I had this happen while using Photoshop a couple of weeks ago too! Could someone please tell me what this means and how to fix it?
Thanks

Hi-
First off, the "gray screen" is a kernel panic.
A kernel panic, along with the "shared library" error, may mean that you are having problems on the harddrive. Another possibility is RAM error.
First, you need to eliminate suspects by disconnecting all but your monitor, Apple keyboard, and mouse.
Then, check your harddrive directory while booted to the OS X install disc. Use Disk Utility to "Repair Disk".
It will also be worthwhile to download Rember and test your RAM.
Take these initial steps toward isolating the problem. The cause may be elsewhere, but, we need to eliminate common suspects.

"Shared library error" message

Does anyone know what this is?
The application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
8 <Transport Monitor> <Transport Monitor> <HotSyncLib.PPC> "
It appeared on startup after performing an archive and reinstall of Tiger. At the same time, Firefox became completely unstable, and other programs started crashing too. I had an idea that perhaps the computer's files didn't like that I was now at 10.4.4 instead of 10.4.11, so last night I did all my system updates. Everything's now more stable; I haven't run it for long but I've now been in Firefox for almost 15 minutes! Still, the above message appears on startup.
Message was edited by: litterbuggy

<<sigh>> I ran the Migration Assistant today, and while all my third-party programs came over, my settings and whatnot didn't (e.g. Firefox was the basic program, without all my add-ons, bookmarks, etc.; when I looked in Application Support there was no Firefox support folder; same with Quicken, Palm, etc.). I started fooling around and somehow mucked things up--suddenly the computer was hiccuping, and sometimes the mouse and keyboard stopped working (I could get the cursor to move with the mouse but it wouldn't select or open anything. And I couldn't get my LaCie to show up in the Finder. So now I'm performing an erase/install and will run the upgrades.
The question is, did I do something wrong with Migration assistant? BDA, when you used it, did it transfer your preferences and application support stuff for third party programs? Or did you have to go back and rescue the files? It occurs to me that perhaps the assistant pulled info from another place in the computer. If I go to the Library folder in the Macintosh Hard Drive, Firefox isn't in the Applications Support folder; but if I go to Library in my home folder it's there. Isn't that where the Assistant should be looking?
And another (sillier) question: if I 'migrate' manually, do I just drag and drop the eMac folder onto the new iMac folder if the names are the same (e.g. iTunes, Internet Plugins, etc.)?
Boy, am I glad you guys are here...

"Shared library error" prevents app launch

Did the upgrade to 10.4.10 this morning, via the Software Update panel. Upon restart, attempts to launch Microsoft Word / Excel or FileMaker results in:
Application Launch Failure
The application "Word" could not be launched bceause of a shared library error: "2 <Microsoft Word> <CarbonLib> <CFMPriv_CarbonSound> "
I'm out of my depth here. I've repaired permissions, but no dice. Any advice?
(Many other apps - browsers & email, Adobe, Macromedia, Digidesign - launch fine.)

Well, this has blown into a bit of a 'situation,' I'm afraid, mostly because I don't have my 10.4 DVD. (Seems I left it at the office when I left some months ago. They can FedEx it to me, but as they're closed Wednesday, I won't get started until Friday.) The only system disc I have is my 10.1.3 installer, and I suspect I'll open several new cans of worms if I jump that far backward.
The G5 now won't boot at all. I can start it in FireWire target mode from the G4, and can see all the data on my hard drives. When it's turned on by itself, the panel light and the fans all look and sound the way they should, but I get to a screen that reads Mac OS X and a progress bar that never progresses – i.e. a white strip that goes nowhere.
I also can boot the G5 into Terminal (or whatever you call it when I open with Opt + Cmd + O + F), but don't know my way around it. Didn't do anything there except remove the CD.
A friend tried posting me a copy of his 10.4 disc 1 for me to use, but it seems the Apple folks knew we'd think of that. Whatever the technology, I can mount it but can't boot from it. (Or maybe that's Toast? I see that their help page reads, "You cannot make a bootable Mac Volume disc.")
Repaired & Verified permissions on the G5 before it locked me out. Looking at it from the G4 confirms that it at least thinks that 10.4.10 was successfully installed; I'm now downloading the 10.4.10 combo update. (I hadn't realized until I was already typing this that I should try running it on the G5's system drive, from the G4.)
I'm just posting this in case someone who's been willing to read this far spots some magic bullet that I'm missing.

Launch failure and shared library error

Hello all,
I need help! I think I may have accidentally trashed an important file or folder. I cannot launch MS Word or any of my MS office 04 applications. I get a warning that says Application Launch Failure . . . can't be launched because of a shared library error: "*<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_ATS>"
I can open Word files using Pages, but not with Word. I reloaded MS Word but still cannot launch it. Can anybody tell me what happened and what i can do about it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
