Some Of My Apps Like AppStore and Software Update won't open on my MacBook Pro

some of my major softwares like AppStore and SoftwareUpdate and ,,,, are not working!!!
please help
(I'm using Mavericks and Cant upgrade it!)

A.
You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
B.
"Kerio Control" must be updated, reinstalled, or removed.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

    I've been using 'myphotobook' to create photo albms for years. I've started a new photobook but can't access it to finish it as the app won't open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.

  • Internet Connect crash/Software Update won't open

    I have a 500mhz G3 slot loading iMac running 10.3.9
    About 2 weeks ago, after waking FrankenMac up from sleep mode, I noticed the Airport status symbol failed to appear in the menu bar (next to the volume/date&time etc).
    Looking into my Network settings revealed that I was indeed still connected to the internet, via my Airport, all systems go. However, I noticed that "show airport status in menu bar" was unchecked, so I checked the box. Which apparently did jack squat b/c there's still no icon.
    For the last couple weeks, as long as I've been connected to the internet, I could really give a flying flip about whether the airport status icon is there or not. I mean, seriously. I know this computer is a little old so why rock the boat on something trivial?
    Until today. Today I was determined to figure out where the icon is, why it went away and if there are any other underlying problems.
    I started first with Internet connect. Applications->Internet Connect, clicked on the purple IC button, only to have it launch in the dock, bounce once, then quit.

    I attempted to open Software Update next to see if there was something critical (ha!) I might be missing. Apple menu->software update and it was a repeat performance of Internet Connect, except this time I wouldn't even get so much as the Software Update icon in the dock. The dock would move everything to the left, as if it was going to open, then....nothing.
    *Software update was working as of 6/14*, when I updated (perhaps foolishly) to Quicktime 7.5.

    This ridiculously long post boils down to 2 questions, really.
    • Any ideas why Internet Connect and Software Update won't open and how to fix?
    • Where in the world is my Airport status icon? (not that it matters since I'm connected to the internet, but doggone it!)
    I've run Disk Utility, repaired permissions and the HD checks out fine. I'm just at a loss (not surprising, given my limited amount of fix-it-yerself knowledge)
    Should I just put up, shut up and be grateful that these problems, while aggravating, aren't majorly disrupting my life?

  • Some issue with appstore and software update

    Hi all,
    I have some issues with app store and software update.
    Sometime App Store report that it was available software update for Mac OS X ML. When I enter in App Store to upgrade something goes wrong and I cannot do anything.
    If I close and open again App Store, it start to look for update and aftware 5-10 seconds App Store reports that there aren't update available.
    I take a look in /var/log/install.log and I found this:

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
    In the Keychains list, there should be an item named System. If not, select
    File ▹ Add Keychain
    from the menu bar and add the following item:
    /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
    When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
    Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
    Log out, log back in, and test.

  • Mail, Safari and Software Update won't launch?

    My Mail, Safari and Software Update apps don't launch after my last Software Update installed Quicktime 7.0.4 and iTunes 6.0.2. During that update (Jan 12, 06) I got the spinning ball and ended up restarting because nothing was happening...
    That's when my apps stopped opening.
    This is what Console says when I try:
    dyld: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    dyld: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    dyld: /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/MacOS/Software Update truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    So it appears I have a "malformed library", what should I do?
    Thanks.

    Yes, it looks like something is not right with /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. The message "filesize extends past end of the library" sounds like there might be some corruption of the filesystem, although I certainly could be wrong about this. (The filesystem is the operating system's mechanism for determining where files actually start and stop on the harddrive.)
    The first thing to try would be to attempt to repair the filesystem. This can be accomplished by booting of your Panther Install CD and using Disk Utility to do a Repair Disk. There are good instructions for that at Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. See the section on Repair Disk.
    If that does not work, I suggest that you try to replace /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. If you have another computer with the same operating system, you could connect via target disk mode and copy over the good folder to replace the bad one. Alternatively, you could do an Archive and Install.

  • Safari and software update won't connect with 10.6.5 and 10.6.6

    Downloaded 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 to my 4 month old Macbookpro but safari and software update wouldn't connect. Camino worked fine. I'm back on 10.6.3. It works fine but I would like to update. Suggestion?

    In response to how did I update if safari and update didn't work with 10.5 and 10.6. Your question is silly. I updated from 10.6.4 and as I said Camino works fine and always has.

  • Safari, Mail, and Software Update won't launch

    I've tried downloading Safari 3 but my iMac needed to be 10.4+. As a result my Safari, Mail , and Software Update will not launch. When I click either one it will just do 1 or 2 bounces and will not open. No error message pops up.My Firefox browser does work so it can't be a internet problem.
    This is what comes up on Console when I try to open Safari.
    Safari can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SyndicationUI.framework/Versions/A/Syndicatio nUI (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thank you.

    That's probably because Safari 3.1 introduced a webkit that your Panther applications can't use.
    Go to HD/Library/Packages, and delete the package for Safari 3.
    Then go to HD/Library/Receipts and delete any reference to Safari 3.
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Now re-install your previous version of Safari from your install disk (the one that came with your Mac).
    Repair permissions and reboot.

  • Safari, Mail and Software Update crash upon open after  S/U 2006-004

    After installing the latest Security Update, Mail, Safari, and Software all crash upon open. nother strange this is that when I do a FIND on Safari, it seems to be in the Root "/" directory. The only way that we can get onto the inter is by using IE. I have also tried to create another user to see if that helps, but Safari just shows up as a "?" in the dock. When I goto applications, and open it there, it still crashes under the new user. Itunes will successfully go to the Music Store.

    I reloaded the Mac OS on the mac that was having the problem.

  • Can't connect to the App store, iTunes and software update with MBP 13

    Hi,
    I have a MBP 13 from 2011 and I have a really annoying problem with connecting it to the App Store, iTunes and the software update. It claims that I have no internet/wifi/network, although I clearly have it since I am watching series through Netflix and are on Facebook at the same time. So naturally I started to look in to the firewall and it works fine, since it does not and has never blocked any other Apple products/programs. So I continued looking everywhere in the computer, found nothing. And finally I decided to re-install the MBP and I still cannot connect to neither of these programs.
    I feel that it is really unnecessary to hand the MBP in for service for a problem like this, so I was wondering if there is someone out there who has a solution to this problem? Beacue , as I mentioned earlier, my internet/wifi is working perfectly with everything else, so I really do not understand why App Store, iTunes and the software update does not work.

    Hello there, Victoria Nisoho.

  • 3G apps not installing and software update?

    I have an Iphone 3G running IOS 4.2.1. i try to sync apps, like youtube, netflix, angry birds and it says it cant install. need newer version of software. but when I check for updates, it says the software is up to date. Can I really not download any apps?

    No, most apps developers target a newer IOS version.
    Your iPhone 3G IOS 4.2.1 is the latest and greatest, there's no more updates for this iPhone.
    I'm afraid you have to buy a newer iPhone if you want to update your apps.

  • Some thoughts on Permissions Repair Failure and Software Update Failure

    Here is what I am thinking about these issues. There are a few documented errors that are common when permissions repair is performed and the general consensus at this point is that these errors do not constitute a grave concern. But not being able to repair permissions at all is not good and having this process take an inordinate amount of time is also not good. Also, having the software update crash or fail to run sucessfully or cause additional problems is not good.
    I believe these are indications of a low level corruption of the OS. Where this corruption resides or what caused it is open to speculation and may (will) vary from system to system. In any case, were these problems happening on my computer I would be concerned enough to consider backing up my system and performing a complete reformatting of the hard drive and reinstalling the OS "from scratch". Of course I would attempt all of the "known fixes" first but if these were not successful or were only partially successful, I would reinstall on a reformatted drive. When I say "reformatted" what I mean is that I would delete all partitions, "zero" the drive, create new partitions and go from there.

    It's one of the permissions you can safely ignore without any problem. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448

  • Safari and Software Update won't launch on Macbook

    I have a macbook (OS X 10.4.11) that I haven't used in a while. I tried to use it today but Safari crashes as soon as I launch it. I can't even view a page--Safari and its menu appear momentarily on the top bar and then disappear. Software Update does the same thing. Skype didn't launch the first time I tried, but it did after doing some disk repair. I don't want to use the Mac CD to take it to factory settings because I don't want to lose the Microsoft Office I have on it. Is there a way to make these programs work?

    When you boot up the Mac with the install disc in, hold the C key for around 10-20 seconds. THEN let go of the C key. I notice this when doing this on my Mac. I would hold down the C key for a minute, and give up cause I think it just froze, and let go of the button only to find out that it didn't really work cause I had to let go of the C key. It also takes a while to boot up too. I'm not sure about the next part, but I think it goes like this. It will show you a installation screen, and on the top bar, you click utilities and Disk Utility. I don't remember the whole process cause I haven't done it in a while.

  • Transferring my contacts, itunes music, apps, address book, and pics from my iphone to my new MacBook Pro

    I bought a new MacBook Pro 4 months ago, had some issues with it, brought it to Best Buy Geek Squad and they   . Now I would like to sync my iphone 4 with my computer. However, when I go to do that a message appears that says the computers current information will transfer to the iphone. Well there isn't anything on my computer and so I am afraid if I follow through with it my iphone will lose everything. I am mainly concerned about my address book, itunes and pictures. Is there any way for me to transfer from the iphone to the MacBook Pro?
    My husband also has an iphone. I'd like to be able to also sync itunes with his phone but not the contacts. Any suggestions?

    You might want to ask your question in the iPhone forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone.
    While all of us here have MacBook Pros, not everyone (including myself!) have an iPhone.
    Then again, some MBP/iPhone user may come along with an answer to your question... but I'd post it in the iPhone forum were I you.
    Good luck,
