OS X won't launch apps after waking up.

After my hard drive crashed I have just installed OS X 10.4 on my G5 Dual 2Gig Power Mac.
I immeadiatly updated all software.
I do however have a problem in that when my Mac goes to sleep and then when I wake it up, it will not launch any applications and then I get the colored spinning wheel of death, and I end up having to shutdown the mac via my power switch.
Otherwise OS X appears to be working fine!
Has anyone got any suggestions as to what can be causing this problem?
Thanks for any help!
Steve.

Search on your drive for
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
and
com.apple.finder.plist
Trash them, and restart.

  • Pages, Numbers, Keynote won't launch even after reinstall

    After a new OS (10.5.8) install none of my iLife (09) or iWork (09) apps worked. I reinstalled iLife successfully. But, my iWork apps won't launch even after a reinstall from the original DVD and updating to 4.0.4
    My trouble shooting steps so far have been a reinstall from DVD, software update, permissions repair.
    Dyld Error Message:
    Library not loaded: /Library/Application Support/iWork '09/Frameworks/Inventor.framework/Versions/C/Inventor
    Referenced from: /Applications/iWork '09/Pages.app/Contents/MacOS/Pages
    Reason: image not found

    First deinstall iWork. You can download Yvans script from _https://public.me.com/koenigyvan_ named
    uninstall iWork '09.zip. Then restart the computer. Install iWork from the DVD and update it. Try the apps inWork again.
    Come back and tell us about the result.

  • Siri Won't Launch Apps

    I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi ***-  Finally got Siri working the way it was suppose to on my ipad3.... After doing a few things suggested by the Apple Store (just verbal help without an appointment setup) I actually setup an appointment today and took my ipad into the store- basically- it required erasing everything on the ipad- and instead of doing a backup using my computer- I had everything re-populate on the ipad from "icloud" while in the store-   so far everything still seems to work ok- however I have no plugged the ipad into my MacBook Pro yet- - but everything I needed on my ipad was already stored on the cloud anyway-  so once I plug into my MacBook Pro and see if Siri still works correctly- we will know if something on the MacBook caused the problem-
    Hope this info helps you guys- so to recap without so many words-
    After spending an hour with the Apple folks- they finally did an erase on my ipad-without it being connected to my computer-
    Once the ipad erased and restarted- we tested Siri and it worked fine- then I typed in my Apple ID stuff- and over an hour or so- everything that was stored on icloud gradually downloaded onto my ipad-
    I'm now home- and setting up everything else- and occasionally testing Siri during the process-  tomorrow I'll plug in the ipad to my MacBook Pro and see what happens after that-

    I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

  • My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling.  Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library?  HELP!

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
    If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
    If that still doesn't work, try this:
    Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
    Hope this helps.

  • Script to launch app after power up on specific days

    Hello everyone,
    I've been using scripts more and more each day, and I've learned a lot just by trial an error, and of course, great help from the community. But now I have this one script that I just can't figure out how it would work, or even if it's possible.
    So the idea is to launch a specific app, after power up, on a specific day of the week. For example, say I want to have the app Mail to launch automatically after power up on sundays. How would I do that?
    Thank you so much!

    Hi anamorphis,
    I've never used launch daemons, but you could search for that. You could probably do it with that. I know how to use launch agents where you can run programs on user login. These two are similar, but there might be complications on running things on power up as compared to launch agents. Search for daemons. There is a lot of stuff like that on the internet.

  • Yosemite Won't Launch Apps

    I installed Audacity the other day have been having problems ever since.  Any new app install or updated app will not launch when I try to open them.  The icon for that application just sits in the dock and bounces up and down.  I found a post here that discusses this issue but its over a year old and Ive tried what they discuss with no luck.  Here is the post.

  • Firefox won't launch even after re-install

    Firefox hung and I forcequit. It would not restart. I cannot locate the sessionstore.js file -- it is not where Help says it should be. So I reinstalled it. It still won't launch. Then I restored it from Time Machine - still won't launch.
    I cannot find any preferences files to remove.

    hello pedro, this crash is caused by the "Media Accelerator" part your nvidia graphics driver. please see if you can selectively disable it in the nvidia control panel or even uninstall it. otherwise please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

  • Acrobat X won't launch even after following all posted solutions

    I have a licensed academic version of CS6 running on a win 8.1 64 bit computer. The software has been installed for < 1 week and was licensed immediately. Acrobat X won't launch. It shows me the window with a large screenshot of what I was previously looking at. I then have to crash out of it. I tried deactivating and reactivitating it last night and it worked fine. One solution also said to update the software. So I did. Now it won't work again. I tried the following solutions:
    1) Run the patch in windows
    2) Run the acrofix patch through cmd
    3) Deactivate/reactivate
    4) Update software again (no new updates anyway)
    5) Look for and change name of cache.db (no such file)
    What can I do? This is a huge hinderance to my work. Thanks!

    The software has been fully activated including getting my serial number through registration of an academic account, activating my online account, and activating the account. There are, as far as I can tell, no further things that I need to do. By reinstalling the software I was able to get Acrobat to work again, but I am afraid now that I won't be able to run any updates.

  • ITunes won't launch (even after reinstall) Win XP PRO

    Hey everyone,
    I've been using iTunes for about 18 months now. The program is great and I can't imagine using my computer without it. I've recently finished adding artwork to all of my albums (over 300), which I've searched for myself in google, so you can imagine my frustration right now, as I'm unable to launch the program
    There isn't really much to say. I try to open the program, but right after I double click the iTunes icon, I get a windows error message (the kind of error that allows you to send an error report to microsoft.. screenshot http://tinyurl.pl/rnxz - you probably won't understand the language, but maybe it'll help somehow).
    I tried completely removing iTunes from my computer and then installing it again - the exact same error pops up.
    It is also the same whenever I connect my iPOD and it tries to launch iTunes. So this basically means that I'm unable to update or sync my iPOD at the moment
    Does anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong here?
    PS. the problem didn't start after I installed the newest version of iTunes! It started suddenly. One day I come back home and try to launch iTunes, and it won't budge.

    my Polish isn't good, but i can recognise an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message box in many different languages.
    first let's check to see if this is associated with a broken or missing QuickTime. (itunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work properly.)
    try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

  • Anyone having trouble launching apps after 10.8.2 update?

    After installing the 10.8.2 update on my 15" Mid-2009 MBP, I'm unable to successfully launch many of my applications, including Adium, Chrome, System Preferences, Mail and a host of others. Some apps never present their main window; others (like Adium and Chrome) show their initial windows but seem to be unable to connect to the internet. Has anyone seen this issue?
    I checked Console and nothing seems to be obvious in the logs.
    Thanks,
    - Chris

    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 page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.

  • IPhone 4 Won't Update Apps After Email Change

    I changed my Apple ID email online.  Then I went into the store settings and signed in with the new one.  Worked.  Then I went to the app store and it still shows my old Email address when I try to update things.  Can't change it there.  If I go to the app store>catergories>scroll the bottom, I can see my NEW email address there, but not in the update area.  I've synced it in iTunes, I've turned the iPhone off and on a number of times now.  I can't update any apps or buy things from the app store because my old email address shows up in ONE PLACE and ONE PLACE ONLY...  the update apps area.  How can I fix this so I can use the app store once again?
    Thanks!!! 

    I have the same annoying problem.. When my old id-adress came up, i tried to write in the password.. And im positive that i wrote in the correct one, but i won't go through.. So I try to reset that password by getting it on my email.. But I never get a emal.. And now, after trying for a million times, the apps that i tryed to update, no longer shows ???
    This is so annoying!!
    Please someone help us!
    I did try to reset my primary apple-id adress, but it won't change. It says that the adress is already in use..
    I fon't grt this?
    When you change your apple-id all of your stuff, apps and everything should come along, so that you can update them or whatever as normal even if the apple-id is changed..
    This is ********. It shouldn't be this hard !!
