Shared Library Error after software update

After a software update check, I downloaded all recommendations which were the following: Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5, iTunes 7.1, iPhoto Update 6.0.6, Security Update 2006-008 (PPC) 1.0, and Mac OS X Update (PPC) 10.4.9.
But upon restarting, I get 2 popup windows entitled Application Launch Failure. The first says: The application "(null)" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "5>HP Communications><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>". The second reads: The application "EEventManager" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "1<EEventManager><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>". I also get one when I try to launch AOL from the desktop. It also has the string with CarbonSound in it.
I tried reinstalling all of the updates and the Security update didn't work at all - which didn't seem to matter since it was an older version (I think??). I then reinstalled the OS update again, but this time I did the combo version. Still no luck. I looked into CarbonSound, but I haven't found anything current or relevant. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Shared Library Errors after updates

MS Word- Shared Library Error after 10.4.7 Instal

After re-starting after installing the upgrade, I received the message Microsoft Database Shared Library Error: Microsoft Database Daemon><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound and, obviously, no launch of Office products. Any solutions?

After installing 10.4.7 everything but Office apps seemed to work. Office x worked but not Office 2004. Did an archive reinstall (after backing up data) and all apps seem to be working. I plan to keep an eye on this forum and/or to wait for greater minds to fix this mess before I install upgrades. I uninstalled Norton a while back so I don't think that is the issue for me.

Can't connect to Netflix: Sudden HDCP error after software update

I have been unable to connect to Netflix after I updated the apple tv software. I have tried the suggested remedies: unplug/replug HDMI cables; swap out HDMI cables; turn apple tv and tv on and off; reset; among others...Worked fine with my TV until the update. What the deuce? Can anyone help?

I am using the same Sharp Aquos LCD TV set and same ATV With the same apple HDMI cable that I have been using for years with sleek functionality and great enjoyment ....
There are two factors though - to consider -
1) the remote has been somewhat sluggish lately
2) The day before all of this happened I had removed the HDMI CABLE From my TV in order to put the Hdmi adaptor that connects through the mini DVI ( I think that is how it is called ) to my 2008 White MacBook. I wanted to watch a French Region DVD.
To my surprise , it did not work , but I thought that maybe the cable has suffered damage and I haven't used it for a long time.
I wonder if the connection in my TV is at fault. that can be checked tonight on another TV.
If that does not work I'll change the battery in the remote
And if none of this works , I'll buy another ATV.
Any success will be posted. but I have a nagging feeling now that my TV might be the cause of all this trouble.

CarbonLib - Shared Library Error after 10.4.3 Update

Recently I have begin to notice that I am receiving an error seen below. This applies to Word, Fireworks, Win Media Player and others.
This is really annoying me now and I have googled for it and the way people resolved it was to reinstall Tiger. I don't want to have to do that and loose all my work, apps and everything else. There is a deep nit stuff on my mac and I don't want to loose it. My question: Does anyone know an alternative way of solving it and/or does archve and install clear my setting and apps and only keep my files (would this also solve the problem)?
Having my mac mini for just over 2 months I really don't know much. Thanks for all the help!

After searching the discussions found one post that matches my problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=738743&#738743. I have tried the advice it gave there but it didn't work for me. Anyone have any ideas? What about archvie and install or does that remove my apps and settings etc??

Nokia 6210 Navigator error after software update.

When i updated my Nokia i got the message that the update was completed. But when i start the phone its all dead. When i hold in the power button for a few second the phone starts with a black screen (and a little light from the lcd)but after 30 seconds its shuts down again. Is there anything i can do, "hard restart?", "formatting"?
PLEASE HELP =/

I experienced the same problem. I had my 6210 two days and simply took it back and they replaced it. The Three-Finger Manoeuvre did not work and neither the suggestion by bama_boyz20. Under Nokia's FAQ they mentioned if still under warranty they will fix it. Is there anyone that maybe know why this problem is happening.

Application Launch Failures after Update: shared library error

Soon after installing the latest Security and Operating System Updates, I discovered that I could no longer run Microsoft Office. I get the following error message when attempting to open any of the components: Application Launch Failure The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "3<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CommonPanels>" I have tried reinstalling the updates but it hasn't helped. I can't reinstall Office because the same error message comes up when I try to open the Microsoft installer. Can anyone help? I'm stuck. Thanks.

Again, thanks.
It's somewhat confusing. The folder /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CommonPanels. framework
contains 3 items, a gray screen marked Common Panels with a small arrow pointing to the lower left edge, a folder marked Versions (which holds folders marked A and Current), a folder marked Current (which has a small arrow pointing to the lower left edge and holds a gray screen marked Common Panels and a folder marked Resources) and a folder marked A (which also contains a gray screen marked Common Panels and a folder marked Resources. When I click the gray screen marked Common Panels, I get a message that there is no default application specified to open the document "CommonPanels".
I'm not sure what all that means. Are there too many Common Panel screens? Does the small arrow have any significance? I've also discovered that, in addition to not being able to run Office, I can't install any new applications (same CarbonLib error message). If you think I need to archive and install the System, I can try to do so.

Shared Library issues after update yesterday

Yesterday, some systems updates came through and I went ahead and said yes. I didn't really look at what they were. Since then I have been trying to use Panrama, Thinking Home software and Graphic Converter. Every time I try to access these programs, I keep coming up with shared library errors. Mainly it says that they are carbon library errors. I used Time Capsule to go back a week, because I had used both of these programs last week. It didn't change anything. Thinking Home is the current version and Panorama is the previous edition.
Any ideas of how to fix this?

First, what OS are you using? "Carbon Library" makes me think of OS 9
Second, launch Software Update and the go to its Preferences and click on the "Installed Updates" tab to see what updates you installed.
Third, make sure that you have the latest versions of those programs that run with your OS. Your "current" version may not work with the latest OS update. Sometimes it is something in a Security Update that cause problems.

Having trouble getting appleworks 6 to open. When I have tried to update, I am getting a shared library error.

Appleworks 6 will no longer open. When I have tried to update appleworks, I am getting a message saying a shared library error is preventing it from updating.
Any suggestions?

Might be worth repeating the question in this forum:
AppleWorks

10.4.5 update caused "shared library error:

shared library error: "?<Microsoft Excel><Apple;Carbon;Multimedia><CFMPriv_QuickTime>"
This error occurs whenever I try opening any microsoft office program as well as a similar error when I try opening a photo program I have. This started the minute I updated. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a way to undo the last update?

To reinstall a prior version, see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25404. However, before doing that, move the Microsoft stuff from yoor Users folder to desktop (such as prefs and Microsoft Users Data}, delete MS Office, and reinstall it.

Help with Shared Library Errors?

I am getting a Shared Library Error (The application "APP NAME HERE" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "1<APP NAME HERE><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_PrintCore>") whenever I try to open a non-Mac application (Adobe or Microsoft, basically). And when I try to print, I cannot adjust anything in the Page Setup, else the application crashes.
Problems began right after a Software Update: to 10.4.8 (and iTunes to 7.0.1).
Any thoughts? I have seen references here and elsewhere to various shared library error issues, with solutions that have worked for some people sometimes, ranging from dowloading the newest version of Quicktime to archiving everything and reinstalling the system software.

I saw you had posted in the other topic and were
advised to start a new one. But did you try any of
the other approaches?
Yes. I've been trying simpler things first, such as removing certain caches from my Library.
It helps to be
more specific about the particular applications.
Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and In Design 2.0.2. Microsoft Word 11.0 and Excel 11.0 are the ones that give me the shared library error. At the same time (since the upgrade to OS 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.1), I have been having trouble with my printer, a Canon i850 (printer software quits with each printing, although the printer does print the item; and trying to adjust Page Setup causes whatever application I'm in to crash).
Did you look at Yo
u receive a "Shared library" error message when you
start Office for Mac programs for example?
Not until you suggested it. Thanks. It has some of the same suggestions, though — no new ones. I've been trying to avoid the archive/install option, but I guess I'm headed that way.
You say you have iTunes 7.0.1, what version of
Quicktime do you have?
QuickTime Player 7.1.3.
Unfortunately there doesn't (as yet) seem to be a
single fix for all these errors. We'll just have to
keep trying!
That's the sense I'm getting.
Thank you for your attemps to help.

"Shared library error" message

Does anyone know what this is?
The application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
8 <Transport Monitor> <Transport Monitor> <HotSyncLib.PPC> "
It appeared on startup after performing an archive and reinstall of Tiger. At the same time, Firefox became completely unstable, and other programs started crashing too. I had an idea that perhaps the computer's files didn't like that I was now at 10.4.4 instead of 10.4.11, so last night I did all my system updates. Everything's now more stable; I haven't run it for long but I've now been in Firefox for almost 15 minutes! Still, the above message appears on startup.
Message was edited by: litterbuggy

<<sigh>> I ran the Migration Assistant today, and while all my third-party programs came over, my settings and whatnot didn't (e.g. Firefox was the basic program, without all my add-ons, bookmarks, etc.; when I looked in Application Support there was no Firefox support folder; same with Quicken, Palm, etc.). I started fooling around and somehow mucked things up--suddenly the computer was hiccuping, and sometimes the mouse and keyboard stopped working (I could get the cursor to move with the mouse but it wouldn't select or open anything. And I couldn't get my LaCie to show up in the Finder. So now I'm performing an erase/install and will run the upgrades.
The question is, did I do something wrong with Migration assistant? BDA, when you used it, did it transfer your preferences and application support stuff for third party programs? Or did you have to go back and rescue the files? It occurs to me that perhaps the assistant pulled info from another place in the computer. If I go to the Library folder in the Macintosh Hard Drive, Firefox isn't in the Applications Support folder; but if I go to Library in my home folder it's there. Isn't that where the Assistant should be looking?
And another (sillier) question: if I 'migrate' manually, do I just drag and drop the eMac folder onto the new iMac folder if the names are the same (e.g. iTunes, Internet Plugins, etc.)?
Boy, am I glad you guys are here...

"Shared library error" prevents app launch

Did the upgrade to 10.4.10 this morning, via the Software Update panel. Upon restart, attempts to launch Microsoft Word / Excel or FileMaker results in:
Application Launch Failure
The application "Word" could not be launched bceause of a shared library error: "2 <Microsoft Word> <CarbonLib> <CFMPriv_CarbonSound> "
I'm out of my depth here. I've repaired permissions, but no dice. Any advice?
(Many other apps - browsers & email, Adobe, Macromedia, Digidesign - launch fine.)

Well, this has blown into a bit of a 'situation,' I'm afraid, mostly because I don't have my 10.4 DVD. (Seems I left it at the office when I left some months ago. They can FedEx it to me, but as they're closed Wednesday, I won't get started until Friday.) The only system disc I have is my 10.1.3 installer, and I suspect I'll open several new cans of worms if I jump that far backward.
The G5 now won't boot at all. I can start it in FireWire target mode from the G4, and can see all the data on my hard drives. When it's turned on by itself, the panel light and the fans all look and sound the way they should, but I get to a screen that reads Mac OS X and a progress bar that never progresses – i.e. a white strip that goes nowhere.
I also can boot the G5 into Terminal (or whatever you call it when I open with Opt + Cmd + O + F), but don't know my way around it. Didn't do anything there except remove the CD.
A friend tried posting me a copy of his 10.4 disc 1 for me to use, but it seems the Apple folks knew we'd think of that. Whatever the technology, I can mount it but can't boot from it. (Or maybe that's Toast? I see that their help page reads, "You cannot make a bootable Mac Volume disc.")
Repaired & Verified permissions on the G5 before it locked me out. Looking at it from the G4 confirms that it at least thinks that 10.4.10 was successfully installed; I'm now downloading the 10.4.10 combo update. (I hadn't realized until I was already typing this that I should try running it on the G5's system drive, from the G4.)
I'm just posting this in case someone who's been willing to read this far spots some magic bullet that I'm missing.

Shared library error FATCarbon 1.5

shared library error <FATCarbon 1.5>
Started getting this message recently. Firefox died first then other apps have now followed. I have run all diagnostic software I own and no joy. Any suggestions?

Hi there, not sure what all you've tried, but...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, then try reallpying the big combo update...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
