New Added Applications Icons = White "Crossed out" symbol...

This is a bit of a minor annoyance, but I wanted to see how the community was dealing with this....
I find it helpful to have an Alias for "Applications" in my dock -- to the right of the divider. I like to sort it by "Most recently added", so that I'll have the newest application on top of the stack. I realize that the applications have the "universal symbol for 'not'" -- a generic mac icon with a white crossed-out symbol -- because the app hasn't been permissioned yet. i.e. I copied it to the Applications folder but just didn't run it yet. After I run it, I drag the icon out of Applications and then back in the folder and it changes to the real icon.
This is a true first world problem -- but I just wanted to see if anyone else deals with this and how you work your way around it. (Not such a big deal to just drag the icon and add it back. It's just annoying and looks dumb.) Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

For me, the crossed-out icon disappears once I've launched the application once and answered yes to the warning whether I want to launch an application that has been downloaded from the internet.
I don't know if trashing the Dock preferences would help?

Firefox did not launch. I downloaded new one. the icon is crossed out. how can I fix this?

March 25 2011
I'm on a Mac OS X (power pc)
After restarting my computer today. Firefox did not launch. I clicked on the icon, it started to initiate and then stopped before anything happened.
To try to fix the problem, I trashed the application and downloaded a new one. It gave me a message: "The application Firefox cannot be launched -10661."
I retried the download and the second time, the Firefox application icon has been crossed out. That is it has a circle with a slash over it. Same message comes up.

Sorry, Firefox 4 is not available for PowerPC Macs. You can re-install the previous version from here:

Utilities Applications grayed and crossed out, "No longer supported"?

Originally I wanted to Verify and Repair my Disk Permissions since I've been having difficulty with my disk drive [playing the Sims 3, it told me that there was an error in the Disk Authorization and that the disk was not found in the drive]. Following the instructions on the Sims 3 site to fix this problem, one solution would work then it would fail again so I continued down the line of fixes until it told me that "Its possible you might be experiencing some damage in your permissions or an issue with your start up disk please follow these steps below." Then proceeded to tell me how to verify and eventually repair which entailed going to the Utilities folder and opening the app "Disk Utility". But when I got to the Utilites folder I found that all of the application icons where grayed out and crossed out in white. When I attempted to open any app a window would tell me, "You can't open the application <app name> because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Now I found a question/discussion nearly identical to this, only it was in the Leopard discussions, and I obviously have Lion. The one reply on this subject suggested two things, both of were not options for me and the other user with this problem. Link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1826047?threadID=1826047
I have no idea what to do at this point, I just want my Mac to work for once and let me play my **** Sims.
If it helps, I have a MacBook Pro, mid 2007, with many different applications installed, I recieved it as a hand-me-down two years ago and I'm not so familiar with all of the applications, so I couldn't begin to tell you what exactly is on here.

PPC apps won't run in Lion. Sorry that you missed that small detail before upgrading.

Crossed out symbol instead of an apple during start up

Start ups have been getting slower and slower for me and now I can't even get past the white screen. I now have a crossed out symbol instead of an apple during start up and the wheel is just spinning. I tried to start it up in safe mode and this is what I get. Even if I get to the login screen, things are frozen and I can't entrer my credentials either with mouse or keyboard. Typing this in from a PC. Yikes! Help!

Please read and execute all the steps in Apple's Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

White Screen with a circle crossed out symbol

What does this mean? A friend recently spilt wine on the keyboard I mopped it up, and turned the computer on the side moped it up. I left it to dry out. It did not short out when it happened, however now when I turn it on that screen comes up but I do not know what it means. I am going to take it to apple for repairs... if anyone has any answers for me it would be great!! Heeeeeeeelp!

I'm sorry to say, but you're MacBook is now dead. You can get it repaired at Apple, but expect a large bill. Do you have any backups? Hopefully you do! If you do go to Apple, try to get that DVD out there. I'm sorry about that. I hope you learned:

I try to download firefox. After completion, the firefox icon is crossed out and when I double click, I get a message saying the architecture does not support this application. I have a g4 mac laptop with 10.5.8. Any suggestions?

hard drive died two weeks ago and had it replaced by an authorized dealer.
Previous to this disaster, I had firefox and had no problems.

The latest 9.0.1 version is not compatible with your ppc mac os.
Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.
see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/system-requirements/ Firefox 9 System Requirements]
'''The latest supported version for your os is 3.6.25''' , you can download it from:

see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/ Firefox 3.6 System Requirements]
[For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, if you like, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8]

Crossed-out signs over two application icons

I have an Intel iMac running OS X 10.6.8. Two applications, iTunes and iPhoto, have white crossed-out signs over them. Does anyone have any idea why this is? I've restarted the computer and done a software-update and they're still crossed-out, although both are working just fine.

Hi Jaun,
Are you running in an admin account?
In Finder do a Get Info on those 2 Apps & see if they're Locked or what rights it says you have.

Unexpected error when configure a new web application

hello,

the Name, URI, and Path as follows:

then click "Create" , I then got the following error message, I don't know why
and what i did wrong... please let me know what did i do wrong ? I don't have
any things under the new dir i created, but I thought i would be fine, but it
didn't.

Hi Kieu,
Perhaps you can try moving the webapp dir outside config/mydomain/applications.
The webapp should be configurable from anywhere besides the applications directory.
Any archives placed in the applications directory will be deployed automatically.
I'm not sure why you are seeing the webapp as an app below your Applications node
in the console though. Which version of wls are you using?

but when i follow the instruction in

I would really appreciate your help...

White cross over new Application

I have been working on a new application with XCode, and found how to create a new icon for the application - but now there appears a white cross over the icon when I run it. I am using XCode 2.5 on Leopard 10.5.5. Even if I have the default NSApplication icon (with the ruler and the paint brush) the white cross still appears. Any ideas what I have done.
Looking at previous posts, the only semi-relevant one is here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7704016&#7704016 - but it doesn't solve the issue (I took the *.icns file, renamed it without the file extension, but same problem).
??? - I'll try to set my avatar to the cross I am talking about. Thanks - JN

I strongly suggest posting to the software development forum under OS X Technologies.

Why are some of my icons in my application folder crossed out?

I know its because i have not installed it yet, but after i do it still has it crossed out, to fix it i move the application to the desk top then back to the application folder. Is there some other way to do this? or does it change after a while on its own.
sorry this is my 1st mac

Reboot your Mac and they should show up normal then.

I just upgraded to mountain lion osx and now my applications are crossed out and out of date. they will not run. how do i fix this?

Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar question:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open, modify and save your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

Purchased Apps Icon Crossed Out

I recently had to restore Mountain Lion OS from the recovery partition.
Now some of the apps that I purchased from the App store, such as Aperture, have a crossed out icon. When I go to the App Store application and select "Purchases" it shows Aperture as installed yet I can not launch Aperture. The icon for the Aperture app is crossed out. The App store will not let me reinstall it.
I used the Disk Utility to repair permissions but the icon is still crossed out and the app does not launch.
Some other programs such as iMovie and Garageband also had their icons crossed out but I was able to reinstall them through the App Store.
How can I get Aperture back?

That means that you have Aperture on the hard drive. If you have an external drive connected, disconnect it. Then, check where Aperture could be. To do it, press Command and Space keys, and type "Aperture" in the Spotlight popup, so it will search Aperture on the hard disk. If it finds the the folder, hold Option and Command keys, so the location will show up below the preview. Just go to that folder and delete Aperture.
Finally, open App Store > Purchases and install Aperture

White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it?

White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it? (I do have my recently backed up data with me, but no loading discs for my computer.
Hoping there is a solution,

The make of the disk doesn't really tell us how your data is being backed up onto that disk. Do you know what software it uses?
For example Time Machine copies files every hour in a way that is not bootable, but you can extract those files & get all your data back into a working OS.
Carbon Copy Cloner duplicates a disk in a way that is bootable - it would appear when holding alt at startup so you could use that to boot & inspect the state of the internal disk.
It may also be Seagate's own software that does something different.
Please try recovery mode, if that works you can try repairing the disk in Disk Utility.
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
If that works, select Disk Utility & see if the internal disk can be repaired in the first aid tab.
Recovery mode can also download OS X & reinstall it, however you really need to know if the backup contains everything before that is attempted, otherwise you may lose data. The OS is also around 5GB so you may have issues if your internet is capped or unstable etc.
P.S.
I have no idea if this is helpful, but there may be help out there…?

Photo Booth Camera Icon Crossed Out

I have one of the most recent MacBooks. All of a sudden Photo Booth isn't working. There's a crossed out camera icon and I can't take pictures. How do I get it back?

First thing to do is reset PRAM
■ Shut down your computer. Turn the computer back on and immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R, continuing to press until you hear the startup sound for the second time. This resets the computer’s parameter random-access memory (PRAM).
IMPORTANT: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
