Pages/Numbers won't launch after Update

Yesterday I updated to 3.0.1 and 1.0.1 in Pages and Numbers respectively. Before the update, all was fine. Now neither will launch (although Keynote still works). I have trashed the plist files, restarted, reset PRAM. What should I do?
I am a college student who installed the iwork suite at home and didn't bring the disk with me (we use a family pack version). Pages is my word-processing application, I do not on microsoft word. Essentially, my computer has become unusable. Any help is much appreciated!!

First, I wish I had an answer for you. There is little more frustrating than updating working software and having it break.
(we use a family pack version).
I am not a lawyer so take everything I say here as opinion. Also, I don't have much of a stake in whether you obey the license agreement or not. Mostly I want you to know what it says so you can make an informed choice.
First let me quote from the Family Pack license:
This license does not extend to students who reside at a separate on-campus location ... .
Installing a Family Pack program while you are home and then taking that machine to school has always been a gray area for me. However, reinstalling while at school seems to me a direct violation. My opinion is that to stay within your license agreement, you need to buy another copy.

GB, Itunes & Quicktime Won't Launch after update

Hi,
In desperate need for help. I just did some software updates on Garageband, iTunes and Quicktime on my G4 OS 10.3.9. Upon launching each, none of them are launching now. Help!!!!!

Apperently, after trying different methods, I removed GB, iTunes and Quicktime from my CoreAudio Setup and now everything works. I was using Digi002 as a midi interface and monitoring. Everything used to work with that setup until I did a recent upgrade of Quicktime. I do think that something was changed in my computer when quicktime was upgraded.

Numbers won't open after updating to iOS 6

I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 6 and everything works except Numbers. Unfortunately, I use Numbers in my work all the time, so I need a fix. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Try closing the app. If that does not fix it, delete the app and redownload it.

Final Cut 6.0.5 won't launch after update

I have installed Final Cut on a new Mac Pro. 6.0.1 works fine, but when I update to 6.0.5, I get a failure to launch message. The Error report looks like this: Symbol not found: kPrivateTundraFileWritingOptionsKeyDontValidateTimeCodeWhenWriting
Referenced from: /Applications/Final Cut 6.0.5/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/MIO.framework/Versions/A/MIO
Expected in: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreMediaIOServicesPrivate.framework/Versions /A/CoreMediaIOServicesPrivate
Any ideas anyone?

Tried all that. I've noticed that the problem only occurs on the updated version. I now have 6.0.1 and 6.0.5 in different files on my system. 6.0.1 works fine, but .0.5 fails to launch. Didn't have this problem on my old G5.
If you rename Final Cut Pro, move it to another directory (folder) outside the Applications folder or to a sub folder inside Applications, it will not work correctly and you will have all kinds of problems.
Final Cut Studio places many files at system level, some in directories that are invisible in normal use. They are dependent on all paths to and from the application remaing intact.
I certainly would not recommend having two instances of Final Cut Pro on the same system.
I am not sure that simply deleting the older application will clear this up, so unless someone has a solution, you might be looking at a complete reinstall of the Mac OS and FCS to get you up and running again.

Sys Prefs won't launch after update to 10.6.6

Hi,
V odd problem. Unable to launch sys prefs, some applications (like coda & other text editors). They attempt to load, bounce in the dock, then sit there with the glowing jelly below them. They're showing as unresponsive in force quit. I suspect it may be something to do with 'secrets' which I have installed. Or some other extension.
Can anyone advise how I go about isolating/removing a troublesome extension?
Other extensions are little snitch & growl. I have also run disk utility from the start up disk and done a repair permissions and repair disk... no difference.
Cheers
R

Pardon me while I talk to myself
Finally persuaded googles updater software to stop torturing me by deleting the launcher files. This solved the system pref issue, it will now restart properly.
One last problem remains, which may or may not be related. DMG's are incredibly slow to load, small ones (3mb) takes about 4 mins to show. Tried downloading chrome again (because I'm a glutton for punishment) and it's been 6 mins so far and still hasn't mounted.
Anyone know if this is related?

ITunes won't launch after update to 7.5

I just updated itunes to 7.5 today and when I attempt to launch it, I get a message that says "The iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory available." I have one gig of RAM so I know thats not the case. I also checked Activity Monitor and there is over 700 mb of free ram. Please help.

Sorry. I thought that would work.
It's clear that Apple has a problem on their hands. I have sent my information to Apple, which sounds remarkably similar to yours. Hopefully by the time we wake in the morning, Apple will have some answers.
Cheers,
Joe

Safari won't launch after update

I just did a software update today. I updated iTunes, Safari, Quicktime, and Java. None looked to be "major" updates. Now I cannot launch Safari. A window will open and partially load -- then it just quits. I've restarted my computer twice. No luck.
Any idea which update is causing it? Is there a way I can back down from 2.0.1?

Hi Sally,
Welcome to Discussions.
When it crashes, can you click on the (Report...) button, select and copy all the text in the window that appears and post it here? It may take a few posts to get it all on due to the maximum message size that can be posted here.
Alternatively, feel free to mail the text to me (click on my name to the left to get my details).

That's pretty vague. If you post a few more details, it might increase the chances that someone can help you.
- What update?
- What happens when you try to launch those apps?
- Besides Firefox, what "some other" apps can you launch?
