Quicktime does not launch / open. Assistance needed!

All,
After updating to the lastest version of QT the app will not open. It will bounce in the doc and then "poof" it closes without a splash screen or anything. Adium will also not open after the update.
Things tried so far:
1. Repaired the HD.
2. Installed 10.4.10 again.
3. Checked for the Perian component. I did not have it, but installed the version 1.0 anyway.
Does anyone have more troubleshooting steps? I am using a PPC and 10.4.10. I have never had and don't want to rebuild this machine because of one application.
Help,
-Groove

Okay. I think the import part of the log is below.

QuickTime does not automatically open video clips when double clicked

Quicktime does not open video clips in iPhoto when the video clips are double clicked (nothing happens). Quicktime will open the video clip if I open quicktime
and ask it to open the video clip. Regular photos will expand as they should when they are double clicked.

It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.
Anyways, thanks Sabian,

Itunes or Quicktime does not open !!!

Ok I frist tried to upgrade my previous Itunes 6 to Itunes 7.0.1
Then after downloading and everything I try opening Itunes
Next I get the Lisciencing Page (agree-decline)
After that nothing happens ...
Itunes would just have its arrow pointing at it ... and I would have to force quit
Then I read I needed a higher version of Quicktime - So I beleive that the problem is the Quicktime ....
Download QT 7
From here the Quicktime does not even open anymore ....
Mess with a couple things install reinstall ... take the itunes recipt out of the library ad such but still does not work
So I decide to straight re install my Mac OS from the ground up ....
Back Up everything
Install everything ... download itunes 7.0.1 quicktime 7

From here i decided to drop my music i saved on an external hard drive ...
Now whenever I try to open Itunes ... Itunes does the same thing from where I tried to fix ...
It Doesnt open just sits on the dock .... forcing to quit again ...
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHATS WRONG ...

What system software does your computer have?
Your info says 10.0.x, but that can't be true if you previously ran iTunes 6.
If you did an Erase and Install or an Archive and Install, you should not have problems when you're at least running OS X 10.3.9.
You may read Mac OS X 10.3.9, 10.4: Some Apple applications don't open to see if it applies to your situation.
Hope this helps.

You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

TS1501 Image Capture does not launch when I connect my iPhone to my iMac and open iPhoto. No "Prefernces" is offered under Image Capture. I cannot import photos to iPhoto.

Can't import photos from iPhone to iPhoto. Image Capture does not launch when iPhone is connected to my iMac and iPhoto is open. There is no "Preferences" option offered to click when in Image Capture.

This helped me. It is advice I found from a user named Carlosmara. First make sure iPhoto is closed and your iPhone is not connected. Then, as Carlosmara stated in his post,
"Go to your Library/preferences and delete the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
IPhoto should recognized the iPhone again."
The file in question is under your user folder.
I then restarted my mac and plugged in the iPhone so that it would sync. After the sync, when I opened iPhoto, my iPhone was recognized and I could download the photos perfectly.
Hopefully this will help you as it helped me

Android AIR does not launch - app opens then immediately closes

I have created a very simple app using Flash - AIR for Android extension. I have confirmed that my Droid2 device is connected via the DDMS through the Android SDK, and have published the app to the device following the instructions here: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/devices/pdfs/device_lab1.pdf. When published, the APK was packaged successfully, but get the following warning:
Application has not specified its permission requirements in application.xml. This thread touches on it http://forums.adobe.com/thread/740905, but doesn't say whether to fix it, or what persmissions are necessary.
On the phone I can navigate to the app, however when I tap the app icon, the app closes as soon as it opens.
Any thoughts on what is causing this and how to fix it? Thanks for any help!

To test AIR runtime is working on my device/phone, I downloaded an Adobe AIR app from the Adobe Showcase, and discovered this app does not launch either, so I suspect the Adobe AIR application on my device/phone is not working.

Apple programs, Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari, Quicktime will not launch.

Recently we downloaded some upgrades from Apple and now Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari and Quicktime will not launch. The icon dances on the dock, and the operating system records the program as having opened, but the program does not come up and the icon menu on the dock still displays open rather than quit. I have tried re-installing the programs to no avail.

"Repair disk was unable to repair these"
Any one of the following may fix the directory damage:
DiskWarrior
Highly recommended for *directory damage* repairs.
TechTool Pro
Multi-functional utility.
Drive Genius Multi-functional utility.
You will need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each does something a little different.
You must use the versions that are compatible w/your OS system & keep the utilities updated to avoid damaging/harming/trashing your system.

"Big Bridge" does not launch with Mini Bridge

When I open Photoshop and launch Mini-Bridge, it does not launch "big bridge." The littel wheel turns around and a note says "waiting for Bridge CS5," but Bridge CS5 never opens. The little wheel keeps turning around and keeps waiting and waiting. I have gone into settings and tried both settings. 1. Open Bridge automatically when Mini-Bridge starts. 2. Do not start Bridge until browse files is checked. On either setting, Bridge still will not launch. Does this call for a re-install of Photoshop? Need advice. Thanks

I have not kept up on this issue. There was quite a discussion on the topic in the Photoshop Forum when CS5 came out, but issues must have been resloved as have not see anythiing on it for awhile.
Make sure you have the latest Bridge and PS updates. The use the search fuction (many times google is faster) and read some of the replies.

Lookout 6.1 build 27 OPCClient does not launch the Opto 22 OPC SEVER

In the same computer, with the same Lookout 6.1 a few weeks ago, I had communication between Opto 22 OPC Server and Lookout using the OPCClient in Lookout. Settings in OPCClient were for a really fast scanning rate (50 milliseconds) and de deadband was set to zero in order to see all the inputs changes with the best resolution. These I/O units are Opto PAC EB2 brains, and the OPC Server belongs to the suite of PAC 8.0 (I tried also 8.1) of Opto 22. The I/O Configuration and the OPC configuration was done with the same OPTO22 software version.This was a test done in order to see if I can get 20 samples per second from all the I/O's. It did go well, even a little faster than required. It was informed to my bosses, then I had the 'go' for the project I'm working on. That was the main concern of everyone here; the fast communication between Lookout an the Hardware.
The computer runs windows XP SP2, has two ethernet ports; one with dynamic IP address on motherboard (for the company network), and a PCI ethernet cad with a fixed IP address in the range of the IP addresses of the Opto 22 brains dedicated to talk to these I/O units.
I called first to the tech support of OPTO 22. They shown me how to double check and to launch manually the OPC Server, there is a tester software for it. The OPC Server was launched and I saw it in the task manager under processes tab.
When I create the object in Lookout, it does not see the server, neither launches the server. I can see the data members of the OPCClient, but I can not see the variables or tags from the server.
Again, it did work a few weeks before in the same PC, with the same Lookout and the same Opto 22 as a test. Now I need to add the OPCClient to my application and make the corresponding connections, but I can't.
This is becoming a kind of hurry, time is running and the application can not get to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

When the OPC Client object is created, I can select the OPTO22OPCSever.2 in the dropdown list of servers. It is there, and the object can be configured normally. I must see in the object explorer (expanding the OPCClient object) the tags configured in OPTO 22 Server,but they are not there. The Client object only shows its data members. Once Lookout is open with the OPCClient, the task manager/services does not show Opto22OPCSever.exe running, that tells me that Lookout's client does not launch the server and that's why it does not show the tags configured in the server.
I have uninstalled Opto 22 software and re-installed, I called Opto 22 tech support and they shown me a way to launch manually the server, even how to monitor some of the values of its tags. I saw the Opto22OPCServer.exe in the processes list of the task manager, I read values of some tags with the OPC tester, To me, the server side is working fine.
Then, I installed Lookout .During this process there was an error 1922 and a message saying that files mssgl.mdf, mssgl.mdl, and mssgl.ldl are not found, These files must be located in C:\ Program Files\ National Instruments\Lookout 6.1\ Database. During the first installation of Lookout 6.1, I followed the instructions in the README file, where some specific commands must be typed in the run windows and executed to create the database properly. It was done, no errors were displayed during the first installation.
The thing is that this OPCClient/OPCServer DID WORK before. For some reason it does not work NOW.
this computer didn't have any previous version of Lookout installed, there is no possible old database messing here.
Again; the computer runs windows XP SP2, it has a dual core processor.

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. 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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Dragon Express does not launch with ox 10-8.1

I bought Dragon Express a month ago, but have been unable to use it as it does not launch. I was expecting an update from Dragon, but have seen none todate, Any solutions?

Thank you for your reply.
The PDF I am having trouble with when using Safari is a "Weight Workout" that www.activtrax.com automatically creates as an URL and automatically opens using Reader. When I used Adobe Reader 10.1.5, the print symbol showed up. However, when I installed Reader version 11.0.01, only a black screen appeared and no print symbol showed up when I moved my mouse cursor. So, I went back to using version 10.1.5.
ActivTrax states "Your default pdf viewing program will open and display the Workout form." Someone suggested making Preview my default PDF viewing program? Do you know how to do this? If I could make Preview my default PDF viewing program, would doing so prevent me from accessing materials from websites that say that you must have Reader installed to view the item?
In additon, when I open email PDF email attachments, they open in Preview and not Reader. But PDFs that websites create automatically open in Reader.
Thanks for your assistance!

IE11/Win 8.1 error 'Your client does not support opening this list in windows explorer'

I hoping someone might be able to help with this frustrating issue.
I work on a project where we are using various versions of on-line SharePoint (2007/O365). In order to quickly drag and drop folders we need to often open the document libraries by using the 'open in windows explorer view'.
Using the same device, on occassion this works. But often it gives a rather unhelpful message 'Your client does not support opening this list in Windows Explorer'.
I've searched for this issue over the net and confirm that the sites are added to the 'trusted' sites area and that the 'remember you credientials' is checked on logging in.However, the searches do not seem to apply to IE11/Win8.1 or on-line version of sharepoint
(the suggested hot fix is not suitable)
Only this morning, using the same device I was able, for a short while to open in explorer view, and then for no apparent reason, it began to display the error message. I had changed nothing regarding settings or even closed the browser.
Do you have any support/ideas/fixes on how to resolve this.
Many thanks
val

Hi Val,
sometimes an answer can be found on the internet by typing the error message from your computer into your favourite search engine.
eg.
http://www.bing.com/search?q=your+client+does+not+support+opening+this+list+in+windows+explorer&form=IE10TR&src=IE10TR&pc=HPNTDFJS
see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/06/13/error-message-quot-your-client-does-not-support-opening-this-list-with-windows-explorer-quot-when-you-try-to-quot-open-with-explorer-quot-on-a-sharepoint-document-library-in-office-365-site.aspx
follow the directions given above.... you need to add the domains to your Intranet sites list, not the Trusted sites list.
Perhaps you already have it mapped to your intranet zone....in which case make sure that you have unchecked "Enable Enhance Protected Mode" on the Intranet zone dialog in Internet Options.
If this is happening 'randomly' on client machines, then users are probably changing their internet security settings in Internet Options. Ensure they are accepting the default.... Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
Consult with your system administrators to find out if they are applying a custom security template for the Intranet zone... It may be removing the sharepoint domains from the client Intranet zone's domains lists.
HTH.

ITunes and Quicktime will not launch

I cannot get my iTunes or Quicktime to launch. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded, and tried several fixes that I found on this discussion board. No Luck! I'm using XP Pro SP3. When I first installed iTunes, it worked, but then quit working about 4 weeks later. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and Quicktime.

The error message you are getting suggests that you do have one of the problem codec packs installed on your system or you have had in the past.
Quicktime does not install Quicktime.cpl in the system32 directory.
It is possible that one of them was installed without you knowing with other software, I think Storm may get installed with other things although I can't name anything.
You must look for the things on my list and uninstall them if you find them. Check in Add/Remove programs to see if there is an entry there.
When you have uninstalled the problem items go on to the next stage. If you can't find anything you had better go on as well.
Download the stand alone Quicktime (the one without iTunes):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Quicktime does not launch / open. Assistance needed!
