Some applications are starting up as if just installed them

Started up my Mac this morning as normal and when I opened i-photo it acted as if I just installed the program. When I clicked ok to open i-photo all pics in my library were gone. I checked the original photos in my i-photo library folder and they are there but not within the application. Similarly, I'm have parallels installed and when I tried to start that program, it acts as if I just installed it (i.e. it wants me to install my windows cd). this problem is not for all my application, for example i-tunes is fine and still has all my music and playlists. MS word, excel, and powerpoint are fine. anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

mokarran_jo,
See if this might help,

  • 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 applications are not opening, including mail and Word.  Clicking on the icon stirs it on the dock, but will not open it.

    Some applications are not opening, including Mail and Word.  Clicking on the icon stirs it on the dock, but will not open it.  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

    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.

  • I cleaned up my mac and now all my applications are gone. I try to open them and it has a question mark on the app icon. Everything from System prefrences, Everything in itunes, iphoto, preview and mail? Please help

    I cleaned up my mac and now all my applications are gone. I try to open them and it has a question mark on the app icon. Everything from System prefrences, Everything in itunes, iphoto, preview and mail? Please help

    These question marks are on your dock? And you can't open applications from your dock?
    If so, try this: Open a new finder window and navigate to the Applications folder in your hard disk. The applications in question should still be in there (the Applications folder). So drag each of the application icons that you want to be available on your dock from the Applications folder onto your dock, one by one. Take each of your question mark icons that are on the dock and drag them off the dock to get rid of them. See if that fixes you up.
    Now, if your hard disk no longer has an Applications folder in it, or the Applications folder is empty, you are going to have to reinstall OS 10.6 then do a software update to bring you back up to OS 10.6.8. You may be able to just go to the "optional installs" folder on the installer DVD and maybe all the stock applications are there -- I don't remember and I don't have an installer DVD handy to look. That would be way easier than doing a full blown OS reinstall. Also, as I recall, if OS 10.6 was on the computer when you bought it from the store, I think there should be an "extras" DVD that has a handful of applications that could be reinstalled from it, too.

    Hi vampyro33,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If it seems like system files are missing and applications are quitting unexpectedly, I'd suggest reinstalling Mavericks:

  • Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

  • 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! :)

  • 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

  • Trying to re-install CS5 but some applications are still open

    Hi! After the computer shop had my computer they removed all of my software.  I'm trying to reinstall CS5 from disk, but I keep on getting asked to close the applications :"safariCloudHisto" and "SafariNotificati" but nothing is open and I can't work out where these things (obviously abbreviated) even are.  I've also just upgraded to Yosemite .
    Hoping someone can help

    Without proper system info nobody can tell you anything. As a start, download the DMG again using a more suitable browser like Firefox.

  • 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.

    Hello,
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
    2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
    6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
    If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
