Programs wont open after reinstall

Just last night i was working on my Mac. I had downloaded some updates and shut it down. Later on that night, i went to log onto my Mac and it would just load forever and never go anywhere else.
So i put in the disk utility and saw that the startup folder was a Server. Some how installed a update for a Apple Server.
Now that i was freaking out i reinstalled the operating system without eraseing my files and now i hit the desktop with some reliefe.
Moving on i tried to open my applications and none of my pro application (final Cut Pro, soundtrack Pro etc.) would open. After installing some more updates i got most of them open however Motion 2, Compressor 2, Shake 4 and Safari will not open what so ever. I dont have the disks for the Final Cut Studio on me at the time and need a project done but tommorow. AHH can anyone please help

I ran into this problem when I recently upgraded from a G5 Dual to a G5 Quad. I used Migration Assistant and even that did not work for the Pro applications. I tried everything and eventually had to reinstall FCP, Motion, Shake, DVD Studio, SoundTrack Pro, Compressor, etc. Then you have to go back and upgrade them all to the current level or they still won't open your current projects saved with a newer version.
I'd try to get the original installers FEDEX to you. Hope you make your deadline.

  • Adobe CS3 programs wont open after reinstalling...help please anyone?

    Hello
    Im wondering if anyone know how to fix this...
    Im running windows vista and my adobe creative suite 3 master collection decided to stop working and started saying there were errors and asking that i reinstall.  I unistalled the copy and reinstalled and now the programs wont even open, i get no error messages or anything the programs just dont open no matter how many times their clicked.
    Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times trying to install using my activation code, installing without just as a trial and nothing seems to make a difference.  Finally after about an hour of waiting Ive just got a message when opening fireworks saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working"  something about unistalling and reinstalling that I didnt manage to catch.  This is installed as the trial version so there should be no licensing issue... right?
    Has anyone else had this happen to them and does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Try the CS Cleaner tool before re-installing.

  • Itunes wont open after reinstalling new version

    Any ideas on how I can get itunes to open up after installing new versions of it and quicktime?

    hi keymobfan!
    I think I have seen your replies on other threads. Thanks for trying to help. Is there any way to get a group answer to these questions instead of each one of us with an individual thread?
    fair question. for some problems (like chkdsk) a consolidated thread approach is helpful (although Da Gopha would be the best authority on whether or not that's the case). but in practice (with the launch errors) it's best to treat the different cases individually and in independent threads.
    there are several different reasons. here are a few of the main ones.
    (1) there are two major classes of "launch failure" problems: ones where you get an error message and ones where you don't. sensible everyday-folks typically use the same language to describe the problems, and often don't provide details which would let you work out which class of problems are in play. So, since the treatments for different error messages differ, and also differ from the treatments for the error-less ones, we usually have to check at least once to work out what's going on.
    (2) even if we work out that it's (say) an errorless launch failures, there are (currently) three main causes of errorless launch failures. the treatments for each of those three (not to mention the rarer possibilities) are radically different, and some of them are fairly involved. so we typically need to do some diagnostic work to work out what is going on in each case.
    (3) sometimes it takes a while (several posts back and forth) to work out what's going on. and more often than not (in multiperson threads) where people are all saying they have the same problem, there turns out to be different problems in play ... and the diagnosis and treatment work for one person ends up being irrelevant (and occasionally inadvisable) for other people in the thread. and every single one of those "irrelevant" posts generates an email notification to the other people in the thread. so people end up accidentally spamming each other in those big consolidated threads.
    (4) even when it is clear that there is more than one different problem going on in a thread, you'll still get people leaping into the thread to say "i've got the same problem!" and nothing more (generating another email notification), and with no clear indication (or no indication whatsoever) as to what problem they might have, or at what stage of the diagnosis/troubleshooting process they might be at. so if we were going to deal with them in that thread, we would have to start the diagnostic procedure (generating more email notifications) ...
    (5) typically at this stage of proceedings, people start posting in the big threads saying that they can't follow what is going on, because navigation is difficult (generating a new email notification). there's a tendency also for new posters who aren't familiar with the way the reply controls work (and can't really be blamed for that) to post in inappropriate places in "sub-strands" in the threads, making navigation even more difficult.
    (6) if you're one of the "advice providers" unfortunate enough to have a good reputation in the forums, and you're spending a lot of time in a particular huge and unweildy thread trying to fix some problems, and people notice that you're posting a lot in there, they have a tendency to threadjack in there in order to try to get your attention, no matter what problem they may happen to have (generating more email notifications) ...
    (7) launch problems evolve over time for us, so the fact that a treatment protocol worked and was appropriate for some people at the beginning of a thread is no guarantee that it will help people posting in later. (the NIS 2005 and Ipod Service Errors are two classic examples of that that i can recall.) so it's helpful to let some possible treatments die, so you're not having to say, "no, you should actually do this nowadays" all the time.
    and so on, and so on, and so forth ... i could go on, but i'm just getting depressed even thinking about this at the moment. (which is a bad thing. i don't want to have to change my Zoloft dosage again. the transitional effects compromise my ability to give advice.)
    so, do a search on "post new topic" constrained by the alias "b noir" and you'll see (probably) dozens of "start your own thread please" posts in recent weeks. on due consideration, i decided it was the better way to approach these problems.
    love, b

  • Won't open after reinstalling twice get a page with a green puzzle but it won't stay open long enough to read it.

    After working with mcafee for 2 hours on a server host issue they did something that got rid of the site advisor on firefox and when they tried to fix that problem they couldn't get firefox to open after reinstalling it twice!
    Help...i want firefox back! i'm using internet explorer right now as my default and i've always disliked it!
    please help...brian

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    If that still gives problems then create a new profile.

  • Imovie wont open after mavricks update

    I movie wont open after updating to mavricks. help?

    Many people have been having the same problems this week because of he update. Someone on the forum mentioned uninstalling "Bonjour". +Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network - Wikipedia.+ If you have never needed it uninstall it. You could also try typing "MSCONFIG" in the Run selection under the accessories folder and un-checking it under the "Services" tab.
    I personally have had the same problems. What i did was i un-checked it on the MSCONFIG menu first and then uninstalled Bonjour.
    Hope all this helps

  • I tunes wont open after download says improperly installed

    i tunes wont open after install

    sorry to say but if that error is in place, there is only one way to fix it. By uninstalling the itunes and re-installing it back. It will not take that long since apple has done a great job managing the installation, there must have some missing components that was not recognized as installed.
    To ensure that your installation will be flawless, its a great way to close all windows and perhaps other applications running at the back, and wait a couple of minute until the installation is complete
