Some applications are failing to open

Hey I have a fairly new Macbook and I was messing around with freeware (X-Moto and some other demos from the Mac website) and everything was working fine untill I tryed to open one program and all I got was a second of black screen then back to the desktop with no pop-ups or anything. Now the majority or my games are doing the same thing. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

    Ok, that's plenty of space.
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

  • After installing Mavericks, computer is slow and applications are slow to open

    Mavericks has slowed my IMAC to a crawl. Applications are slow to open. Disc burning is slow as well as photo editing. Any Idea's

    We need more info about your iMac other than "My iMac is running slow."
    What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
    To find out info about your system, click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears. Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.   Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs. Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply. This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Locate your iMac's hard drive icon on the OS X desktop. Click the icon once, then use the keyboard key combination Command-I. This will give you additonal info about your iMac's internal hard drive.
    How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
    Conpletely uninstall any virus software you have installed following the anti-virus deveolper's instructions.
    Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of "crapware" like so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?
    Another her possibilty is that some hardware, like your iMac's hard drive, could be failing.

    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • In app store some applications are of very small size like 15-20 Mb and after installing them they become more than 100 mb. how to determine their actual size???

    in app store some applications are of very small size like 15-20 Mb and after installing them they become more than 100 mb. how to determine their actual size???

    The app store size is probably just the software, while the size on your iPhone includes data.
    You can determine the size on your iPhone by looking at Settings > General > Usage.

  • At UC platform i can see some applications are installed on Windows server and some directly to VMWare. Pls explain?

    At UC platform i can see some applications are installed on Windows server and some directly to VMWare. Pls explain?

    Pretty much all newer versions of UC applications have started supporting virtualization so they can be installed on the VMware. 
    Have a look at dockwiki for virtualization supported apps:
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Supported_Applications
    Some applications like CUCM version 4 were windows based previously but going ahead with version 5, 6 onwards the OS has been changed to Linux Operating system.
    Let me know if you need any more information.

  • Some jobs are failing due to listener.

    Hi all,
    Only some jobs are failing ,and remaining jobs succeeded.I checked the listener, it was up only.(10.2.0.2 on linux)
    the reason for failing jobs showed is
    ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
    Can you please tell what is the reason for this
    Thanks in advance,
    Prashant

    Some of the failing jobs could be referencing a db link and you need to verify the tns alias being used in the database links
    Use tnsping <tnsalias> to verify the connect string

  • Some applications are not opening

    Hi,
    Many of my applications are not opening. Sometimes when I try to open the application it doesn't even bounce in the dock.  Other times, applications will bounce in the dock and then stop.  These are crucial apps, like Mail, Pages, and iPhoto.  Safari and iTunes are working fine.
    Here is some information on my mac:
    I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro, 2.5 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 250 GB HDD, and 4 GM DDR2 Crucial RAM. I am running the latest versions of Snow Leopard, iWork, and iLife. So my computer is up to date (software wise).
    Does anyone know what could be going on with my computer?
    I have already tried repairing the disk and repairing the disk permissions in disk utility through the OS as well as the install disc.  Is there anything else I should try doing before taking my computer into the Apple store?
    Thanks,
    Max

    That didn't work =/
    I'm still having the same issues even with a new account.

  • Some applications are blurry

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7547 and when I open some applications, usually games, they are blurry. I already tried going to properties>compatibility, but the compatibility tab is missing for one of my applications so it remains blurry. The other ones are fine though.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the response.
    You may try few steps to isolate the problem
    Update the video driver and BIOS to the latest version
    Try running any other games or software which are not downloaded through steam
    Try uninstall and reinstalling the Steam app
    If the issue started recently, We can try system restore to that date to check if that help
    As a last step, We may try running a complete hardware diagnostics by tapping F12 during the startup Dell screen, Select Diagnostics from the list, Check if it passes
    Should the diagnostics comes up with any error code, Please send a private message with the computer's service tag.
    To send a private message, click on my name and click start conversation. Thank you

  • Application installer fails to open

    When trying to install certain applications - such as Parallels, Flip4Mac WMV, Mozy - basically some applications that use package installations - the installer opens in the dock, but a window never appears and the installation can never be advanced. Essentially the installer fails, but the application remains in the dock until you force quit.
    Any suggestions? Is it possible to "re-install" the Installer application that these packages use?

    Drag the com.apple.installer.plist file out of your user's /Library/Preferences/ onto the Desktop, log out and back in, and try the installer again.

  • Some dmg images fail to open on 10.6, work on 10.5

    In the process of updating Office 2008 without using MS Auto Update, I downloaded the 12.2.0 update from the MS website as a dmg. The image opens with no problems on machines running 10.5.8. It fails to open on machines running 10.6.3 or 4. I've tested three machines with each version of OS X and the results are consistent. The error given on Snow Leopard is
    "The following disk images couldn't be opened
    Office2008-1220UpdateEN.dmg Image data corrupted"
    The image is being downloaded to each machine perfectly - I've checked the SHA1 hash for the file and it's the same on all machines.
    Using hdiutil to open the image shows that Snow Leopard is having a problem with the checksum of the HFS part of the image:
    Checksumming Driver Descriptor Map (DDM : 0)…
    Driver Descriptor Map (DDM : 0): verified CRC32 $FB1834EF
    Checksumming Apple (Applepartitionmap : 1)…
    Apple (Applepartitionmap : 1): verified CRC32 $3613B27D
    Checksumming disk image (Apple_HFS : 2)…
    disk image (Apple_HFS : 2): checksum failed with error 1000.
    Verification completed…
    Error 1000 (image data corrupted).
    calculated CRC32 $951A6B86, expected CRC32 $49C7A9E5
    To test this yourself, have a look at the MS Office page:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=300133bb-b5f7-4946-bb7b -b0c6c6d6e28c
    Any ideas, anyone?

    That just means it's the same on all your machines - doesn't mean it's right.
    True, although if the image is corrupt it's odd that it works on 10.5 and not 10.6.
    Here, with the file I've had for ages that mounts happily on SL,
    SHA1(Office2008-1220UpdateEN.dmg)= 4bab1dd039583f762df1576a97b4eba8cd5b63b7
    Does that match yours?
    No.
    SHA1(Office2008-1220UpdateEN.dmg)= 21dea53cb07e85c4c7adaecad7c2153a52b2fdd6
    Either MS have changed something in that update or my copy is corrupt. Once I get out from behind this firewall I'll try again and see what happens on a machine at home.

  • Some applications are not installed by MDT

    Hi!
    I'm deploying Windows 7 32bit and most of my applications are installed by MDT, after the image is droped on the target machine. I found myself facing a very odd situation for which I couldn't find an explanation or solution:
    - "sometimes" (and that it's a key word), when I dropped the same image using the same task sequence on the same type of hardware (lets 20-30 computers), on some machines all the applications will be installed, and on others I'll miss 1, 2 (usaully
    the same ones) or sometimes more and I'm not refering to the situation when the TS was interupted and it's aking you if you want to continue. The TS will finish without any error/warning messages but those apps will not be on all the machines. 
    Did anyone had a problem like this? Can you help me please with any information/solutions regarding it?
    Thank you!
    PS My MDT version is 6.1.2373.0

    No, the TS is not being interrupted, this was what I was saying previously. The TS will finish, without throwing any message but sometime, some applications won't be installed. If I go to the log files (BDD or ZTIApplications) I can see an error code about
    those apps, but if I don't check the log files or look to see if all my apps came down well, I won't receive any notification from MDT that something didn't work well (and once, one of my coleauges sent me a log file were it was saying that one app was installed
    succesfuly , but he couldn't find the app. I'm still very intrigue by that log file. Maybe it was sent by mistake from another computer).
    From what I research and talked with other people I think, most of the time, the situation is caused by an app that starts to install, but it takes more time and after awhile MDT is thingking that it finished and it's moving to the next app. And when is
    doing that, some time (especialy if the server is not busy), the other app(or apps that are comeing after it) is not installing at all. I said most of the time, because sometime, this problem will start to maifest before reaching that troublemaker app (again,
    when the server is busier than usual).
    What I've done until now, to limit the damages, was to put that app last on the list. If it won't install, at least won't affect others. I'm still working on it to make it works always! :)

  • All iwork application are slow to open and crash

    Hello,
    I have just bought the latest iMac together with iWork09 (in the dvd box)
    I did not encounter any problem with installation of iWork but
    when I open either keynote, numbers or pages, it takes ages before the application opens.
    In fact the imac goes into endless loop. I see the circle coloured pointer for minutes and i have to force the exit
    I have also tried to delete the iwork09 folder and installed it again.
    I have the same problem.
    What shall I do?
    Thanks for your help
    tom

    As Badunit said, your system likely isn't updated even though it is brand new. There are two things to do that solve a lot of problems with the iWork ’08 &/or ’09 apps in Snow Leopard.
    First, use the Mac OS 10.6.4 combo updater. This fixes a problem with fonts that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2). You can apply the combo update even though your system is already on 10.6.4.
    Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.4 & Numbers 2.0.4. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Also, deleting the program's preference list is the #1 trouble-shooting step with any misbehaving application. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages. Repeat with Numbers & Keynote. This needs to be done for each user.
