My application wont open. It shows up in the dock then vanishes.

So i just bought a few games from the Humble Bundle online, and one of the games that was in it was "Mark of the Ninja" and I believbe that this is it's mac debut. Anyway, after succesfully downloading the file, (direct download, therefore no torrents, it just opened directly form safari when it was finished.) and the file jumps up in the dock once as if starting and then vanishes. Nothing happens. I am very dissapointed. I have been looking it up. Some people say that it has to do with the permissions of the file. But that got me nowhere. Some peopl said to check out its status in the utilities console. So i did, and this showed up:
9/11/13 10:27:05.559 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[147]: ([0x0-0xbb0bb].com.Klei.Ninja[642]) Job failed to exec(3) for weird reason: 13
9/11/13 10:27:05.560 PM Dock[164]: no information back from LS about running process
... I really need some help. This application should be working fine. PLEASE RESPOND ASAP
Thank you.

Hey,
So this is a step by step of what you will have to do.
Right Click on ninja
select "show package contents"
open the contents folder
open the "MacOS" folder
you should see two items in the folder
open the one on the far left.
This didnt always open up a terminal window for me, but after double clikcing it, open a terminal window yourself if you have too.
replace the code with:
chmod +x /Applications/ninja.app/Contents/MacOS/ninja

Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

You need to provide more information!
WHAT didn't work?
If you can't boot from the install disk, either you have the wrong disk for your machine or there is a hardware fault.
You could run Apple's Hardware test from the install disk.
If you could boot from the disk and run Disk Utility, what messages did you get?
If DU said it couldn't repair it, you have a choice of buying the more powerful Diskwarrior or doing an "archive and install" or new install. A new fresh install can migrate your data, settings and apps from your back up.

Certain Applications wont open... just bounce there for a good hour.

So, I think my computer is purposefully taunting me.
Whenever I click on the application I need to use, it just bounces there forever, so I have to force quit it. The only way I get it working again is to drag it out of the dock, then go to Finder (which miraculously works) find the app and drag it back, then it works. The reason I think my computer is taunting me is because all of the other applications work then. Next time it'll be a different app that I need to use and all the others will work!
Help anyone?
Oh and also sometimes ill click on an app and it'll turn a dark shade and then do nothing (no bouncing or anything) I have to do the same thing that I do to the bouncing ones.
Is it time for a new computer? This one is almost 4 years old.

Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then reboot to your internal drive and repair permissions.

My mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

my mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Mail or Safari.

Getting Applications folder to show "properly" on the dock

I upgraded two machines to Lion and the Applications folder shows up on the Dock as it was under Snow Leopard.
Today my new MBA arrived and if I try to put the Applications folder on the dock the first Application shows as the icon. I can't find a way for it to use the "blue folder" I know they want us to use Launch Pad but.......

Sorry but that is what I did. You have to put it below the dots where open files go but it does not give you a folder it gives an icon that looks like your first icon in the Applications folder which happens to be the address book. It isn't exactly the same because the address book looks like it is part of a big stack of other icons.

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

I can't get my applications to open to full screen. The apps are opening at about 75% and I cant figure out how to get them to open to the full screen.

I cant get my applications to open to full screen. The apps are opening up to about 75% and i cant get them to extend to full screen.

Which applications are you talking about?
Example: Browser application - At the bottom right corner of a browser window you will see a small square with 3 diagnal lines. Place your cursor in that corner to stretch out your window to full screen. The next time you open your browser app, the window will be full screen.

Applications Info Is Not Showing Up in the System Profiler

My applications info is not showing up in the new system profiler. I get the message "no information found". Any help would be appreciated.

I'd get them to send you another card. If it works, great! If not, then the connection on the computer is bad. If that's the case, you can get a wireless PCI card or a wireless USB adapter, but the PCI card would be better. Test it with another Airport card first though.

My application wont open. It shows up in the dock then vanishes.
