Opening an Application on IMAC

I have just downloaded the "Pages" application on my IMAC but I cant open it. I open Itunes and then click on the icon but it does nothing.

Pages for your Mac needs to be downloaded from the Mac App Store. It sounds like you may have downloaded the iPad/iPhone version.

  • Creative cloud applications won't open on additional machine - iMac 10.9.4 - Creative cloud for teams - a work colleague has the same issue on his home machine. Applications work fine at work.

    These problems are happening on my iMac at home. I can log into Creative Cloud no problem, however as soon as I try and open an application, whether it's an old version or CC 2014, Adobe Application Manager opens and tells me that membership has expired and prompts me to 'try again'. Clicking this button results in a new pop up that thanks me and tells me that my subscription is now active. However as soon as I click 'continue' the process begins again, the application closes, a pop tells me that membership has expired etc.
    I can login and view my Creative cloud for teams account online and everything seems to be in order and the applications open without incident at work, another colleague at my work has the same problem with his CC applications at home.
    I've tried uninstalling and the installing all of the applications and CC several times, run all updates etc.
    Is this an issue the the Terms and Conditions for CC2014, are we no longer allowed to run applications on 2 machines?
    Is there a bug with the latex version of CC? This problems has only recently occurred.
    I should add that I've read some of the other posts about login loops and I've tried deleting the opm.db file, it didn't work.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
    Regards
    Pete

    There doesn't seem to be an uninstaller for CS3, and I've tried the CC Cleaner tool several times. It doesn't work and it is not correctly documented anywhere. For example, there is no log file at "/Users/[user name]/Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log" as one of the Adobe pages states. For example, there is no log file at "/Users/[user name]/Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log" so I can't find any success or error states of the tool.
    There is a log file at "/Users/[me]/Library/Logs/ACC.log." Would there be anything in there that could shine light on install issues vs. uninstall issues?
    Regardless, running Cleaner and then attempting to install ACC repeatedly leads to the error "Creative Cloud quit unexpectedly" upon launching it or rebooting (which launches it automatically). I've been trying various things for weeks to no avail yet.

  • IPhoto has somehow uninstalled itself, or I've done something wrong. If  try to open iPhoto, it gives me this message: "You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete. I have an iMac OS X. How do I reinstall iPhoto please

    iPhoto has somehow uninstalled itself, or I've done something wrong. If I try to open iPhoto, it gives me this message: "You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete". I have an iMac OS X. How do I reinstall iPhoto please?

    What is your iPhoto version and how did you install it originally?
    If it came with a new mac and Lion or Mt. Lion installed, you can delete iPhoto from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash) and download it again from the "Purchased" tab of the App Store.
    If you have bought the iLife CD, reinstall iPhoto from the installation media, after deleting it from the Application folder.
    Or if your Mac came with an older MacOS X, but iLIfe preinstalled, use the system Install CDs,  see Terence Devlin's post here:  Re: My iPhoto isn't working. Error message says "you can't open the app "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete.
    Regards

    P.S: This may not only be a problem of a broken iPhoto. What did you do, directly before this happened? Did you run a program, that will clean the Mac to save space, like "Clean My Mac" or "Mac Keeper"? These little helpers can be risky and overdo it and remove too much. Then it might be safer to reinstall your system, because other essential files might be missing now.

  • I can't open any applications on my old Imac G5

    Hi!After I reinstalled the original OSX 10.3 on my old Imac G5 20 inch. bought in2005, I can't open any applications and access my files. How do I fix that? Thanks! Michel D

    Hi! Brian
    Thanks for your reply!
    I reinstalled the OS 10.3 from the original disks i got when I purchased the G5. I can't open anything. I can't even see any files that I had before the reinstallment. Ithey must be there still because the hard drive shows that I have only 15Gigs of space left out of the 150 G of the total capacity. When I click on the apps icons at the bottom of the sceen nothing happens. I  also tried to install the most recentOS for that machine (OSX 10.5 leopard), the installment starts but stalls after a while, the little  coloured wheel starts spinning for ever. I womder if there's some hardware problem!!! This has been a great machine and i'd like to keep it alive.Thanks for any input.
    Cordialement!

  • I can't open the application App Store on my iMac. How can I fix this?

    Here is the error message I keep getting.
    You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete.

    Simone ...
    You can reinstall the App Store by downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, then try the App Store.

  • You can't open the application tar because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.   Downloaded upgrade for Safari: using intel-based iMac

    System Automatically notified me of an update for Safari - told it to continue.  After a few seconds, the system displayed about 12-14 error messages:
    “You can't open the application tar because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.”
      Package being updated: Safari v6.0.1
    Package displayed size: 48.5 MB
    My system is:
    NOTICE: it is NOT a PowerPC!
    What's going on???   This is a reoccuring problem with many updates..

    Your profile states Mac OS X (10.7.1) is this correct?
    From the update web page this is the info
    Safari 6.0.1
            Note: For OS X Mountain Lion systems, Safari 6.0.1 is included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2.
    SafariAvailable for: OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 and v10.8.1
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5502?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Perhaps you need to update from 10.7.1 to 10.7.5 if you can before trying to install the Safari update.
    If you do update to 10.7.5, make sure you have good backups available.

  • When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

    When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available.  Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Can't open the application "Adobe Illustrator CS6.app" because it is not supported...

    UPDATE - Ahhh haaaa!  If I log in with the guest account Illustrator works fine! WTF!? Oh well, at least I have a direction to be working towards, thanks for all the suggestions and assistance Adobe Community!
    That was sarcasm by the way...
    UPDATE - Just installed the latest Illustrator update from Adobe - still not loading. Tried reseting the iMac's PRAM, no luck.
    UPDATE - I've just reinstalled the whole CS6 Suite, and the only things that have changed are that I now have a little white no entry sign over Illustrator (it still won't load) and I also have 1.5GB of application updates to do
    I don't have any direct evidence but I'm guessing this is a Mavericks incompatibility judging by the other issues people are having with Illustrator. Any suggestions are welcome!
    I've been using CS6 on my iMac for the past year (3.2GHz Intel Core i5, 32GB ram).  Everything running fine, no problems.
    Then I get the popup from Apple saying to upgrade to Mavericks, so I did. After updating my Java version, for the next two weeks everything carried on running fine. Until just now.
    I finished working on an Illustrator file, saved it and then exited, only to remember I needed to make one more small change. So I clicked on the AI icon and got this error message;
    'You can’t open the application “Adobe Illustrator CS6.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac.' Eh???
    I tried doing a reboot thinking that maybe something had just gone wonkey and needed resetting. Still no luck. So I reinstalled Java again. Nope. Then I tried every other CS6 app and they all ran fine.
    Does anyone know what could cause Illustrator CS6 to be working fine for weeks and then suddenly become an unsupported app? These things always happen with you're right up against a deadline! I NEED ILLUSTRATOR WORKING NOW! HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPP!

    I had the same issue and resolved it

    then I uninstalled illustrator using the adobe uninstaller(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html)
    Next I reinstall illstrator
    after that it worked for me.

  • When opening an application

    Morning, I have just purchase an Imac 20 and have just started to have a problem when I open an application like mail or safari and when typing addresses in the bar or typing a message like I am now and the cursor moves from the area as though another process is starting or I have selected another area of the screen to do something else and I have to reposition my cursor in the address bar or message section to start typing again, can anyone through any light on this for me?

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Congrats on your new iMac
    Open System Preferences (Applications folder) and select "Mouse". Your tracking, double cick, and scrolling options are available there.
    In the same window click Show All, then select "Keyboard" and select the Keyboard tab.
    Set the key repeat and delay until repeat sliders to your liking.
    Click, "Show All" again.. then select the "Universal Access". Make sure Voice Over is not selected.
    Select the Keyboard tab and make sure Sticky Keys is "Off" and also for Slow Keys "Off"
    Where you see the Acceptance Delay, set that in the middle of the slider.
    Make sure the Mouse cable isn't interferring. Keep it away from the mouse pad.

  • Firefox can't open the application "because it is not supported on this architecture

    "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture."

    Thanks for the link to the system requirements, edmeister. However, my system appears to fit every requirements listed, but still gives the same error message.
    Here is what my system profiler tells me about my Imac:
    Mac OS X v. 10.5.8
    Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, which Wikipedia tells me is "x86" processor
    3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    My Activity Monitor says:
    1.87 GB of my system memory free
    303 GB of hard disk space free
    Is there some explanation why I am being told Firefox 4 is not being supported on this architecture?

  • ID Install -  Can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete.

    Trying to install inDesign CS6 on my imac. But everytime I try at end of install I either get a problem with install error, or if it does show up in my applications folder, it has a "no" sign and when clicked I get:
    "You can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    Need help, Im a freelance desktop publisher and need this to work!

    After I deleted Adobe File Manager because it was always popping up annoyingly, I got a similar "damaged application - reinstall" message. However, InDesign didn't seem to be affected. Nevertheless, I reinstalled AFM, and fixed the problem, except for the annoying appearances of AFM.
    If it's not present on your system, you can search Google for "download adobe application manager mac" without quotes, to download and install it.

  • I cannot open iBooks on my iMac.

    When I try to open iBooks on my iMac I get the following message.  I have never been able to open iBooks from day one.  Since I haven't had a need to use it on  my iMac I just let it go, but now I would like to start using it.  What might be wrong?
    The last time you opened iBooks, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?
    If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the windows yourself.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
