Safari will not launch on my mac

Safari will not launch on my mac. I have tried numerous web sites and the blue bar goes about half-way and stops. Any suggestions? I have a wireless connections and appears to be working fine. I can send and recieve email with no problems.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Desktop Icon does not launch program on Mac after download

Purchased from Adobe via internet. Akamai interface downloaded and then Photoshop Elements 11. Both icons on Mac desktop. Double clicking on PE 11 does not launch program. Is it fully downloaded? I get Read Me file in four languages as well as a PE 11 icon after double clicking the desktop icon.
Thanks

Thank you. The download directions did not include the part about double clicking the desktop Elements icon, double clicking the elements icon within the box that opened and then clicking on "install." Okay, so i am not computer savvy, but the directions gave the impression that the download was complete after following the supplied instructions. Who knew? I did not want to duplicate a download, so was apprehensive to take this action. Did it anyway out of frustration and it worked. Obviously, the application was not entirely downloaded. Now, i get to learn a whole new application as IPhoto bites! I spent hours and hours, days upon days scanning and editing old family photos in IPhoto only to learn that the program re-sorted my photo order when i tried to make copies for family. I lost my edits, lost my photo notes and had to retrieve my entire library before presenting several hundred multi generational family photos to everyone in my extended family! Hopefully, this application will be an improvement!
Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

Final Cut Express 4 will not launch on my Mac

I have a mac OS X 10.5.8 and I have bought final cut express 4 but it will not launch on the computer. Please help.

There are solutions on this forum, search "Final Cut Express won't open," for some of them. Updating to FCE 4.01 is one solution. For HD it is another.

INDESIGN CS2 NOT LAUNCHING DESPITE QUICK FIX

I noticed the comment at the top concerning potential launch problems after applying the Acrobat 8.2 update. I have Acrobat 7.0 Professional. InDesign will not launch ... I have tried the quick fix which didn't work (probably because I have an earlier version of Acrobat). Can anyone help me out? I desparately need to get InDesign back up and running.
Thanks

"The application InDesign has unexpectedly quit. The system and other
applications have not been affected. A report has been created that you
can send to Adobe to help identify the problem."
I have sent that report to Adobe twice and as yet have had no response to my problem.
It's not a report that is going to cause Adobe to contact you. It's just a crash report, and I assume (hope!) that Adobe software developers and testers will use those in finding bugs or making patches, but no one is going to write you an email saying, "Oh hey, I see you're having an InDesign problem! Let me help you!" That error message really should say "[...] to help our developers identify the problem, which may result in the deployment of a patch or update."
It does seem like this is caused by the Acrobat update, but it's worth it to try some of the normal OS X troubleshooting methods.
Do you know how to make a new user in OS X? If so, make a brand-new user and try InDesign again. Does is still crash? That will show whether it's a
problem with your user account or a system-wide problem.
Did you try to clear the font cache? (That's probably irrelevant.) Did you repair permissions? (Maybe relevant.)
I don't know offhand of any way to roll back updates to Acrobat 7. Sadly one of the easiest ways to find out if it's Acrobat that is causing the crash, or a change made by the Acrobat to another file or folder that is causing InDesign to crash, is to uninstall and reinstall your applications. Do you have your install media handy?

A CS2 Epiphany on Installation Failures Mac PPC

I have a legitimate copy of PhotoShop CS2 (upgrade) from PhotoShop 6 and have been using it for years on an iMac (PPC) currently running OS 10.4.11. I needed to reformat the HDD on it due to it being full and the computer running a bit slow. I de-activated the software as noted in Adobe's FAQ. I then did a low level reformat and re-installed OS 10.4.2. I upgraded that to OS 10.4.11 via the combo updater. I attempted to re-install CS2 and it wouldn't get past the start to install point without showing an error message and quitting the installation. I tried my trusty Disk Warrior, Onyx, Mac Cleanse to attempt to fix things, still can't get it to install. Several days of frustrations and it being a weekend so no ones home at Adobe, I looked at the console logs. That's something that can really put you to sleep, reading those. Anyway, I see an error with the install in the log, showing that the HDD isn't the correct format. It shows HFSX. I formatted my HDD in the correct format for PPC which is APM. I also had it as HFS extended with case sensitive journaled HFS+ (HFSX) volume. Well apparently Adobe didn't get the message out about that for CS2 &3 that they can't run in a HFSX volume. So I reformatted to an HFS extended only volume and I was able to get CS2 to install! There are several choices for formatting a PPC HDD and that is what Adobe should address, not the typical OSX voodoo like permissions and such. So I'm still able to use my old but working CS2 on a PPC iMac.
Denis

CS2 was my concern, not CS3. Anyway its working now. Again with the many different formatting options available in OSX this should be the first thing addressed by Adobe for such issues, i.e., is your HDD formatted as HSFX, if so the Adobe product will not run/work. That's what's needed in their troubleshooting guide for PhotoShop and it's not there.
I hope this post helps someone else. Constructive criticism is all this is.

PPro CC will not launch on my Mac (OSX 10.8.5)

I'm a member of CC for teams and I've used the app to install PPro and Photoshop. Photoshop works fine, but when I try to launch PPro I'll just see the splash screen for about 1 second, and then it disappears again and nothing else happens. There are no crash reports or anything like that.
I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Any suggestions?

Problem seems to be fixed. Following the advice in another thread on here about PPro actually crashing in 10.9.2, I deleted the CUDA framework (I have an iMac with AMD graphics card) and it seems to work OK now.

CS3 Illustrator will not launch...help?

Hi All:
CS3 Illustrator will not launch on my MAC 10.4.11 all of the sudden. I created a new user on the same computer and it launches fine. All my main info and updates are on the "main" same computer where as the "new user" computer recognizes the same computer as being basically new. I tried to trash the CS3 prefs and even trashed CS3 in total and reinstalled it to no avail. ANy thoughts. Right now to use CS3 Illustrator I have to switch back and forth on the same computer to use Illustrator. Very frustrating indeed.

Also reset the Preferences two ways hold the sift option command keys while relaunching Illustrator or for a more thorough reset quit Illustrator and trash the following Users/Username/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings trash the settings folder.
BTW What type manager are you using?

Launch Adobe on Mac

I downloaded Adobe reader but it will not launch on my Mac. the message said I needed to launch Adobe and accept agreement . How do I launch?

Hi tortlaw,
Please launch Adobe Reader from the 'Applications' folder in Mac.
When you launch it for the first time, License Agreement will appear. You need to then click on 'Accept'

Foxfire 4.0 will not launch, just down new loaded, to MAC G4 and clicked on new Icon. Any Help.

Downloaded upgrade 4.0 into Mac Applications and dragged New Icon into Shortcuts. The a window popped up stating a new security update needs to be installed. Clicked install and it run ... connecting to server for several minutes, but never seemed to connect.
In the mean time I tried to open 4.0 from shortcut and was prompted with will not launch -10661? Why? And the update, is probably still running to connect to server on my other computer for all I know, and not connecting.
I also noticed that in the install window where you drag the product into the application box, right above the Icon to drag there was a confusing statement that said 1 of 2.
So after I dragged Icon once into applications and finished install I dragged the Icon a second time to see if there was a second part. But all that happened was an over write to the initial install. How can I get this new version to run?
Never had any sort of problem downloading and running on my Sony PC, by the way ... there both laptops.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Photoshop CC trial (Mac) not launching...

Downloading the Photoshop CC trial app and have spent the last three hours trying to get the darn app to work... it launches for a second or two and than stalls in its tracks and just quits.
I've tried all the usual Mac troubleshooting steps, plus all that I could find on net (signing out, quiting the CC app, and than trying again)... same results! PS CC just will NOT launch long enough for me to even try anything. Maddening!!!
I have PS CS6 which works without a hitch. I'm at a loss for what else to try. Even went as far as reinstalling the OS (10.8.4). All to no avail. Anybody got any ideas?
New 3.4 GHz, 27in iMac... 32 gb memory, 3 TB Harddrive with 256Gb Fusion drive... Nvidia Geforce GTX 680MX.
TIA

No, at least none that I can find. But just to be sure, I did an unistall/reinstall when I couldn't get PS CC to stay open long enough to even open anything with it.
Something is definately wrong because I haven't once gotten the usual "this is a trial (so many days left) countdown screen" on launch.
I'm stumped!
Is there any way to do a complete, clean uninstall and try again?

Mac iTunes 10.6.1 Will Now Not Launch For Any User Under MacOS 10.7.4.

My MacBookPro4,1 (Spring 2008) went in for repairs to have a mother board replaced.
During the repair, I pulled the hard drive with system 10.7.4 installed and booted from it using the newest MacBookPro.
After the repair, I re-installed the hard drive in the MacBookPro4,1. Now iTunes 10.6.1 will not launch.
This happens for *all* users on my system.
I looked in /Library for anything "iTunes" in the file name and removed it, but still, it crashes.
Any ideas on where else to look and/or what could be going on here?
Thanks!

Appreciate the comments and I have done a bit more reasearch. I have eight computers on the network. Six Macs and two PCs. All but one have iTunes on them. Of the six that have iTunes, the two Macs running OS 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.3 (25) do not see the Apple TV when I attempt to connect to a computer from the Apple TV. The other four Macs see the connect request in the devices on iTunes. The Windows PC running Windows 7 on an AMD processor and iTunes 10.6.3 can also see the connect request.
Of the two systems running MacOS 10.7.4, one is an Intel Core i5 and the other is an Intel Core 2 Duo. Baring some other evidence, my conclusion is that there is a problem with the MacOS 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.3 combination.
Fall back position is move my iTunes and iPhoto libraries back to my older Mac mini and sync the AppleTV to that computer.

My mac 10.8 does no have the file, com.apple.desktop. plist I wentto lIbrary, preference and look for it and it is not where in my mac. I also launch time machine and file is no where on my Mac. How do I get this file back?

System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.
