[SOLVED] Calibre won't launch a new install

I performed a fresh install of Arch on my laptop and installed calibre and when I attempt to launch it I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks

Yes. I got it too.. I searched the forums and got this - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 93#p930493
Apparently, calibre package needs to be rebuilt (because of change in libs). Either you can wait till it is rebuilt and is available to upgrade.. Or you can install the AUR package.. I'm installing the calibre-bzr package from AUR now.

Thank You Mylenium..I will see what is involved in re-install.
Have noted that the volumes are sporadically re-organized under System Finder window after using a file sometimes.
Fille Permissions are often not correct and change without authorization both in systems files and within indvidual applications' children files. I will continue to pursue this vein...
but doesn't a re-install use existent permissions?
I am in way over my head here and know it!...

IWork apps won't launch after new HD installed

My hard drive was failing so all files were backed up to an external hard drive (don't know what method - the Mac store did it for me) then moved to the new hard drive. Now the iWork apps won't launch. Doesn't matter which account I use and makes no difference if I boot in Safe Mode. I've updated iWork and still no difference. The icon flashes a couple of times on the dock, then disappears. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When you say you updated iWorks are you talking about the update a few days ago? How about just reinstalling the applications?

Indesign CS5 won't launch on new MB Pro 10.8

After migrating Creative Suite 5 Premium from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to new Macbook Pro 10.8.5 Indesign won't launch while all other components do. I've posted the crash report at http://pastebin.com/JrVw4Sm4. Can anyone help with this problem?
I've already browsed the forum but didn't really got a clue how to sort it out. The original software was downloaded from adobe.subscribenet.com three years ago and doesn't seem to be available anymore for reinstallation. Product keys are in place...
Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks for your replies.
@Ankit:
Tried and removed the SING Datastore but still doesn't work.
@Salah
Updating also didn't work.
@Bob
I would have tried new installation but unfortunately don't have access to the original media installed from an electronic download. All I want to do is moving all applications from an old 13" MB Pro 10.6.8 to a new 10.8.5 and make sure they run within the new system before cleaning up the old one. Any idea what the specific problem is with InDesign since all other applications are running smoothly?

FCP won't launch on new Mac Pro Tower

I just got a new Mac Pro Tower and installed Final Cut Studio, but Final Cut Pro won't launch. It just hangs on the opening splash screen and I can't even force quit out of it. Same thing happens if I try to open an FCP project. I have run all the updates, trashed prefs, etc.
Any ideas?

OK....so I think I found the problem even though it makes no sense to me. It seems that if I have my DVCam deck (which is connected via a 4-pin firewire to 9-pin firewire cable) powered on while I try to launch FCP, it causes FCP to hang on the splash screen. If I turn the deck off, and launch FCP, it launches perfectly.....and it continues to work after I power the deck on. Very bizarre behavior but I have tested it about 5 times now and it works fine when the deck is powered off and hangs when the deck is powered on. Anybody else have a simliar issie?

Address Book Won't Launch after re-installing system.

Hope someone has a suggestion here. I just installed a new HD and made a nice clean install of system, starting with original that came with my 1st edition G5 Tower and then upgraded to 10.3, then to 10.4.11 (which is where I stop), performing the Apple Software updates along the way. Everything seems to be fine. Boots extremely fast, just like when it was a baby.
Everything except Address Book. I had been importing e-mails, etc. from my 2nd HD so that I could erase it and went to import from my old Address Book and it won't launch. Does the little animation in the Dock, but immediately quits. If I try to open it through Mail, it immediately kills the Mail application.
I really don't want to have to go through the lengthy installation process again. Does anone have any thoughts as to what might be causing this? Even the version of Address Book on my 2nd HD is doing the same thing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jim C.

Ok. For those who are interested, I did a search and was able to find some things to look for. Bottom line is that it is now fixed. For some reason, the required info was not contained within the new system's Application Support directory. In comparing the same directory on both the new system and the one on my 2nd HD, I discovered that there was only one thing in the new directory, while the directory of the other system had many things (including Address Book and DVD Player).
I hadn't yet launched DVD Player since installing, when I did, I got an error indicating that there was an error starting DVD Player. I copied the directory from the 2nd system into the Application Support on the new system and it then launched instantly.
I'm not sure why these things didn't get placed in Application Support under normal installation, but that is what the problem was.

IPhoto won't open after new install and restore of back-up

Hi guys
My hard drive just died (for the second time in 6 months!) so I have just gotten the computer back with a new drive. I did a new install of Tiger from my original install CDs, did the download thing to get all the updates, and ran a "restore" from my external drive using iBackup (http://www.grapefruit.ch/iBackup//index.html) to restore all my previous system settings, documents, etc. So far this seems to have worked well, a couple of 3rd party applications didn't re-install - specifically Neo Office and WiFind - but I was able to manually install those and everything seems to be working fine.
Except iPhoto. It won't open. When I click the dock icon it bounces once and does nothing. No little arrow under it or anything. Nothing at all happens when I click the icon in Finder (in the Applications folder). When I searched it in spotlight it told me there was a file called iphoto.crash.log, so I went and had a look at that hoping it would tell me the problem, but I don't understand it. I'm not particularly good at the behind the scenes stuff with computers.
Wondering what I should do now - if someone can perhaps interpret the log file and find the issue if that would help, or if I should uninstall and re-install iPhoto by itself (and if so, how?), or if there is something else that may be causing the issue. I noticed there are a few files relating to it when I search with spotlight but I don't know which of them might be relevant. I could post a screenshot if that is allowed, or post the log file if it would help?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help!
Regards,
Chloë

400 Updates???
Did you Repair Permissions before & after each one?
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

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.

Siri won't launch on new ipad after iOS 6 install

I can't get Siri to launch from home button after iOS 6 install on the new iPad with Siri turned on in settings menu. Any Ideas?

Not sure, did you hold down the home button? That's how to get Siri to pop up? And your lucky, iOS 6 won't even install on my iPad 3, any suggestions?

Photoshop CS3 (nor CS2) won't launch since CS3 install

Since installing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium I can no longer open Photoshop. It repeatedly crashes on the launch window. For the sceptical, my CS3 Production Premium collection was all legitimately authorised and registered.
Of the other CS3 apps that installed (can't install Encore, Premiere or Soundbooth on PowerPC) they all open and run perfectly fine.
I uninstalled all CS3 and re-installed CS2. Now Photoshop CS2 won't open either (but everything else is still fine). Exactly the same problem, Photoshop crashes during the launch window.
What has CS3 changed to my system that prevents Photoshop opening and can I correct the issue? From searches on this subject Someone suggested repairing permissions before and after installing CS3. This had no effect.
Thank you for any help.
//-- edit- the crash seems to happen when 'Building TWAIN menu items' --//

You can try trashing and regenerating Photoshop preferences when you launch.
Hold down command/option/shift while launching Photoshop. You will be asked if you want to get rid of Photoshop settings. Choose yes.
See if this works; you may have to reset some of your Photoshop preferences afterward. I'm not sure why you can't install the other applications.
Also, it may have something to do with activation; did you activate your copy of CS3? You should be able to have CS3 and CS2 both running as far as activation is concerned, but are they on the same drive? This might be a problem if one version is trying to read the other's settings during launch.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't launch on new Macbook Pro

As if Adobe's issues with my new Mac Pro weren't enough, I can't even get Premiere Pro 2014 to launch on my 2 day old, top of the line laptop. I searched this online with no answers in the forums on either this site or Creative Cow.
Everything is updated. Freshly installed Premiere Pro CC 2014 via the Creative Cloud App. When I launch the App, I get the initial screen with the beach ball and it never opens. My Macbook Pro's fan goes haywire, and no other apps will work (including activity monitor). I have to manually hold down the power button & force shutdown every time.
I was going to finish up some edits at home over the weekend, but now I have to go back to the office on Sunday & work on my other troubled system. Sooooooooo over these issues with Premeire Pro. Help?

ITunes 9 won't launch on new Windows 7 laptop

I installed iTunes 9 on a Windows 7 laptop. After installation, I tried launching it and it doesn't appear. It's in Task Manager, but never shows on screen. I tried the Apple cleanup instructions, Windows Cleanup Utility, and then reinstalling, and it still won't show the GUI. Any recommendations?

If iTunes.exe appears on the processes tab and persists although iTunes doesn't open, it suggests that iTunes is hanging during satrt up.
Bonjour is a common culprit so try stopping the bonjour service in "Services". If that allows iTunes to launch, you can disable the bonjour service although you will lose some network functionality.
If that's not it, try:

If that's not it you can investigate the problem using MSConfig to see what is causing itunes hang.

My s/n for PC to Mac Upgrade won't work for new install for CS6 on Mac

I bought CS5 in 2011 for PC, then upgraded to CS6 for Mac (HUGE hassle) in 2012. Trying to install on my new computer, and I can't select CS6 from the list. The serial number for CS5 don't work (probably because they were for a PC OS), and the upgrade s/n for CS6, says the s/n is valid, but won't let me select CS6 from the list. This discussion thing is a hassle!! I've been "discussing" this for 2 days with no luck. Isn't there someone I can phone? Help!

you can contact adobe support using chat, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
