Podcasts won't launch after Apple TV 5.2 update?

After installing the 5.2 up date on my 3rd generation Apple TV, the Podcast app will not launch.  The Podcast menu bar briefly displays, then quits to the app launch screen.

Anything at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/multipleappsquit.html helpful?
The link you posted didn't work for me so I tried this one:

To dmick,
The suggestions on the page were written for Tiger, but seem to apply just as well to Leopard. Their number one solution, because of the multiple programs failing, is a possible system font problem. A free program that might help you manage and clean up font problems is here:
http://www.linotype.com/2631/freedownloadmac.html - It's been updated for 10.5.2 and specifies that you turn off “Automatic font activation” in Font Book’s preferences.
In addition, repairing permissions (which I mentioned first because you should do it anyway) may not be enough so you might use a tool like CockTail LE to clean the system caches and a host of other repairs and settings.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33453
I use tools like CockTail very sparingly, but when you have a system running as poorly as yours is, you don't have much to lose.
Back up your important files and/or turn off Time Machine before making major changes to the system.

  • Safari, itunes, ichat, Mail won't launch after the 10.5.2 update. Help!

    Hi there,
    I did the 10.5.2 update last night. It went pretty well. Everything was looking normal. I could launch everything. Today when I tried to open Safari, itunes, ichat and mail I got messages saying " The app closed unexpectedly"and I try multiples times to relaunch all of them and so far I just cannot open them.
    The log says always the same as below (ichat) for all of the apps (safari, itunes, ichat, mail):

  • Safari won't launch after installing 10.5.1 update

    I get a message saying Safari is not supported by that version of MAC OS. As 10.5.1 is the newist version, is there a Safari update I'm missing, or is this a bug in 10.5.1?

    I'm having the same problem here. Running safari on 10.5.1. Safari simply wont lunch . It keeps quitting everytime. Is there a patch coming for this bug ?

  • Safari won't launch after 3.1.1. download mistake

    safari won't launch after download of 3.1.1 by mistake I only have OS 10.3.9.
    mail won't relaunch either, i downloaded camino it won't launch either, my fire fox works but i can't get to my mail. How do I clean up this mess.

    Mail relies on WebKit for rendering, so it may have problems even after you got rid of the old Safari. I would try download the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update, and that should update WebKit and everything else for you. It's a 117 MB download, including all the extra languages.
    As for upgrading to 10.4.11, that's a completely new version of Mac OS X compared to your current version. It's faster, has more features, and you can actually run Safari 3.1.1 on it. It's not sold by Apple anymore, but various retailers have unsold copies still available. You might want to check around locally for a "Retail" (boxed) copy, or even on eBay for the same thing. Don't even think about buying a cheap copy for a laptop, since those are specific to those machines; you always want the full boxed copy.

  • ICal won't launch after 10.5.2 upgrade

    my iCal won't launch after 10.5.2 upgrade. it won't even give an "unexpectedly quit" message, it pops up then quits, then nothing. This happened immediately after the upgrade today. I got the leopard disc out and did an archive and install then it worked perfect, no issues, then I did a software update (since I was back to 10.5.0), and installed the 10.5.2 security upgrade, now iCal will not launch, am I the only one with this problem?

    I had the exact same problem -- doubled events and could not edit anything. I flushed the cache as describe in some more detail here: http://www.tipstrs.com/tip/2506/iCal-problem-with-Leopard-Upgrade and everything started working just fine.

    I'm running OS X on a 2.7GHz i5 with 16GB of RAM on a iMac platform.
    I've tried to re-instal OS X, but that didn't help me at all. It didn't even change the error message.
    Thanks for the help apple community - Take care.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • ITunes won't launch after system re-install?

    I had to reinstall Snow Leopard after my finder disappeared (I'm assuming some corruption to finder but who knows).  Anyhow, I've spent all day re-installing Snow Leopard and bringing it back up to 10.6.6.  Many of my third party apps needed to be re-installed as did major apps like FM Pro 11.  But the Apple app. that won't launch is iTunes 10.4.1.  Anybody with any thoughts on why this is happening and how I can resolve it?  Thank you.

    I re-verified permissions, shut down and removed all power (inc battery)- restarted and itunes started when launched from doc. I don't know what the difference was, but it seems to be working.

    I've tried verifying the disk, and repairing the desk, but can't find a fix.  It won't launch at all ever since the Mavericks upgrade.

    If you did not install the software following the upgrade but did some form of transfer or migration then you should probably uninstall and then use the Cleaner Tool.  After that install using the discs or a downloaded set  of installation files.

  • FCP won't launch after Archive and Install

    After the fiasco of the 1.1 update for the Alu-iMac's I had to do an archive and install on my system to return it to 1.0.
    Everything is now working fine but FCP6 won't launch. It bounces in the dock once and then nothing. LiveType and DVD Studio 4 will open but Color, Motion and FCP won't.
    I have trashed preferences and repaired permissions with no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are files that are not brought along with Archive and Install.
    Some are invisible and not accessible without enabling "root" access and even then you have to know exactly which files have to be moved from the 'previous System' folder.
    Archive and Install never works with Apple's Pro apps.
    If Niel's suggestion doesn't work you'll have to erase your hard drive and reinstall everything making sure you first backup important data to another hard drive.

  • Finder Won't Launch After Traumatic Re-Install

    Hello All,
    I've had one **** of a ride. I run 10.3.9. After a bad Mac update corrupted my boot disc, I was forced to reinstall...but since I bought my G4 used, I didn't have the original discs. I needed a computer up and running immediately, so installed the only operating system I could find...10.2.8. Luckily, all my files and apps are intact.
    Today, I finally managed to find an install disc for 10.3.4. When I installed 10.3.4, everything was great....except that Finder won't launch. I can still launch the programs in my dock, but I can't get to apps that aren't in the dock...namely Final Cut Pro. I thought I might be able to beat it by installing the combined 10.3.9 update from Mac, but my Finder is still dead.
    Any help anyone could provide would be more appreciated than you'll ever know. Thanks!

    "...find an install disc for 10.3.4."
    What type of discs are these?
    Are they a Jaguar Full Retail CDs, and a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs?
    The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
    If not, that may be the problem.

  • Finder won't launch after re-install 7.1

    I reinstalled QT 7.1 after having problems with 7.2. I was getting only audio and no video. After the reinstall I rebooted and now the finder won't launch so I can't see my hard drive or any icons on my desktop. And oddly enough the only app that will open is safari and quicktime now works!
    What have I done and any clue on what just happened?

    There is no "re-install" of older software versions allowed in OS X.
    The only safe way to revert to previous versions is by Archive and Install using the Tiger DVD.

  • Sampletank 2.5 won't launch after installing Logic update 9.1.7

    After installing 9.1.7 update, my Sampletank 2.5 XL will not launch.  Contacted IK Multimedia to troubleshoot, they pointed the finger back at Apple.  ????

    What OS are you on? I just checked it in SN 10.6.8 and Logic 9.1.7 64 bit and it opened fine in the 32bit bridge.
