The application cannot be launched -10810
I just started getting the following error message on my iMac Core Duo:
The application "Firefox, Address Book, System Preferences --insert app name here" cannot be launched -10810
This seems to happen after the Mac has been running for a while (a day or so), and restarting it seems to fix the problem. But, it's annoying that it continues to happen. When it does, I can use the programs that are already open, but I cannot launch any new programs. Many other functions, such as simply double clicking a printer to open its dialog box, just don't do anything.
I've had other problems with the Mac freezing up and needing to hold down the power button for several seconds to restart it. I don't know if it's related. I've had the Mac sicne not long after the Intel models were released, is it possible that over the last several months I've gotten some non Rosetta/non Intel friendly software that's causing problems?
Thanks,

That error message means that you have too many applications and processes open on the iMac. Turning off Windows File Sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences except when you need it turned on will help. Otherwise, the next time you restart, open the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder immediately and keep an eye on what it reports while you work.

I have a PowerPC G5 quad core Mac with a pre-intel chip. I have been running Firefox successfully for over five years and have used every version in operation during that time. Tonight, I received notice that the latest version of 3.6 was ready to install and that I needed to restart. I did that and was taken to a page telling me that 4.0 was available for downloading and use. So I downloaded the new 4.0 and tried to install it in the typical Mac fashion. After clicking on the dmg, I dragged the icon into my applications folder and onto the dock. But when I click on the icon on the dock, I get the message: The application cannot be launched. 10661
When I try to launch by double clicking in the applications folder, I get the message: You cannot open the application Firefox because it is not supported on this system.
I had to go to your site using Safari of all things! I tried re-installing it with another download, and that one misbehaves in the same way. By the way, in case it matters, I still have 42 GB available on my hard drive and 5 GB of RAM.
There is one other funny thing. The Firefox icon from the disk image has a white circle with the slash through it on top of the fox and world symbol. That is what appears in my applications folder and in my dock. It appears to be saying NOT FIREFOX, as it would indicate in a NO U-TURN sign. What is this all about?I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6. -
Application cannot be launched - 10810
The last couple of days I've had this error come up on several occasions. I can't seem to have more than two apps open at one time. If I close one, then I can open the one that just gave me the error. I checked the memory and it read good - 2g. I process the updates as they come along. Any ideas as to what is causing this error?
HI JC and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Have you performed any maintenance lately?
First check the boot disk for errors;
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select your disk, and click First Aid.
Click Verify Disk.
If the disk needs repairs, do one of the following:
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk.
Also, when you download and install software updates, make sure and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions: Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
Also, check to see how much available drive space there is:
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is much better.
If you can find a crash log and copy/paste here that might help. Here's how to do that:
1. Open Finder.
2. Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
3. Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
4. Click the Go button.
5. Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the most recent.

I could not update photoshop CS6 and Jeff from forum advised unistalling and reinstalling (Tk93580659). Mac OSX. In real trouble, as suggested I uninstalled and reinstalled but at the end of installation there were errors. See attached screen shot. Now I cannot open the application. Error code 10810 comes up when I try to open (see 2nd screenshot). Please help. I have now lost photoshop altogether whereas previous at least I still could use it but could not update. Thank you for any help to instal successfully. Dr Koh
Still looking for a solution to specific installation errors (see screeshot) referring to "Language Pack installation failure":
ERROR: DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:
ERROR: DW050: - Adobe Photoshop CS6 Core: Failed due to Language Pack installation failure
ERROR: DW050: - Adobe Photoshop CS6 International English Language Pack_AdobePhotoshop13-en_GB: Install failed
Unfortunately previous advice of using CCS cleaner tool, and suggestions from links for 1) "exit code 6 and 7" and 2) "Troubleshoot instal logs" did not work at all. So I am desparate to fix this because I have spent a lot of money purchasing Photoshop CS6 but have no functioning program. Surely Adobe can help solve this problem with installing, or else it means a lot of money spent on Photoshop CS6 for nothing. I am appealing directly to Adobe to help because I have come to the end of my options. I thank the forum for their suggestions but so far the solution for this specific "Language Pack installation failure" problem is missing. Thank you.

Applications Can't Launch - 10810
Occasionally I will try to open an application, but it won't open. Instead a box pops up saying "The application '...' cannot be launched -10810." To be able to get the application to open I either must close my other applications (usually just closing Mail works) or restart my computer. It generally starts with Safari, but once it starts it spreads to most other applications.
I've run the disk utility and don't know what else to do to fix the problem. I have a macbook pro that's a little more than a year old.
Thanks!Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Since you are running 10.4.10, I suggest you update to 10.4.11
Click the Apple logo top left in your Menu Bar, then click Software Updates.
Tip: Run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER each update or upgrade. This can save you many a headache down the road. <<I've run the disk utility>> Did you repair permisisons, or check the hard disk for errors using your restore disk???
If you haven't Repair Permissions before: Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities)
Select MacintoshHD 10.4.x in the panel on the left. Select the FirstAid tab. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Only takes a few minutes. When it's finished, Quit Disk Utility.
If the problem persists, you might need to do an Archive and Install, but try as many trouble shooting ideas as you can first...

The Finder Cannot Be Launched -600 error
Hi, when Os X 10.5 freezes (everytime since I installed it), whatever application I am using freezes, and when I chosse Force Quit, nothing happens. When I choose Relaunch Finder, I get "The Finder Cannot Be Launched -600 error" and I have to power off my Mac & turn the power back on.
Any help on how to get through 1 day with 10.5 working would be appreciated.Hello Ben:
You might try something easy - trash the finder preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart. Sometimes corrupt preference files cause strange behavior.

Finder - The application cannot be found.
Installed recent Apple security update on 7/3/08, now running OS X 10.5.4. Clicking on the Finder logo on the Dock gives "The application cannot be found."
This is predictably spectacular news. While the Finder might not be perfect, just see how long you'd last without it. For instance, try to empty your trash. Thankfully, I normally use Butler for working with the system and generally don't use Finder, except to empty the trash and move occassional files around.
I've been fumbling along with this for less than a week but finally have time to troubleshoot this issue. In the interim, I managed to mount a disk image and load Path Finder, which is a Finder alternative. While it looks nice, and works as advertised, I'd rather not have to pay to be able to move files graphically. Similarly, Spotlight no longer returns search results, though I can type searches.
Troubleshooting I've done so far:
1. Boot from my 10.5 upgrade DVD.
2. Run "Disk Utility" from 10.5 upgrade DVD. Selected "Verify Permissions". Selected "Fix Permissions". Then selected "Verify disk", but that didn't give any errors.
3. Installed OnyX.
4. Using Onyx, selected "Verify - Preferences". There was something wrong with my java.plist file so I deleted that. No other errors.
5. Onyx - Automation - selected everything. Which means:
"Repair Permissions"
"Execute Maintenance Scripts"
"Rebuild LaunchServices"
"Rebuild Display of folders content"
"Cleaning system cache"
"Cleaning User cache"
"Cleaning fonts cache"
"Cleaning Logs and Crashreporter"
"Cleaning Temporary items"
"Cleaning Recent items and web browsers' history"
5. Funny enough, before OnyX prompted me to reboot it SHOWED A FINDER WINDOW.
6. Reboot. Finder still gives "The application cannot be found."
7. Onyx - Parameters - Finder - Restore Defaults.
8. Reboot.
9. Finder still gives "The application cannot be found."
l0. Post to Apple support forums.Doing a tail -f /var/log/system.log showed no new entries when I tried to launch Finder. Similarly, bringing up Console with "All Messages" also brings up nothing when I try to launch finder.
Now, doing a ls -l of /System/Library/CoreServices brings up this gem:
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 0 Sep 23 2007 Finder
There's also no Finder.app in there.
locate Finder.app | egrep -v -i "Path Finder"
gives nothing as well.
I now know how the Windows people I've met feel when some bright management-type has deleted explorer.exe. However, I don't really fit into any of those categories, and I'm a bit unsettled about this all being a regular security update.
So, then, where would I go find Finder.app, or is it supposed to be just a symlink to something else? I've got a PPC iMac running 10.4, but I'd suspect that I can't JUST copy the directory on over without borking something. -
Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. -
Hi,
I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
Does anyone have any other resolutions?
Many thanksHi Carolyn,
Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?

When I close the CHM how do I get the application it was launched from to regain focus?
I am developing a CHM for an application that runs on
Windows. When I launch the Help (CHM) from the application, then
close the Help, I want the application that I launched the Help
from to regain focus. (I would expect this is what most people
would want to happen, and this is what happens with Microsoft
generated Help files.) However with my RoboHelp CHMs this does not
happen.
Does anyone know how I can fix this behaviour? Is there a
setting in RoboHelp that I need to change?
My R&D application developer has spoken with Microsoft
and they suggested the problem was with my RoboHelp CHM, they
suggested trying the following process with one of their CHMs and
then with one that I created using RoboHelp, and they are correct
in that my RoboHelp CHM is behaving differently. Here's the
procedure if you'd like to try it:
- Open a Windows Explorer window.
- Navigate to the c:\WINDOWS\Help folder (or equivalent on
your PC).
- Double-click on the iexplore.chm file. Note that the help
file opens up in a viewer window.
- Dismiss the viewer by clicking on the close button (X).
- Note that focus is returned to the Windows Explorer window.
Repeat the above experiment, but navigate to where you have a
RoboHelp CHM file. I find that when I dismiss the help viewer
window, focus is NOT returned to the Windows Explorer window. Do
you see the same thing with your RoboHelp CHMs? If not, what have
you set to cause the application that it was launched from to
regain focus?
I really appreciate any help you can give me in resolving
this issue.
Best Regards, SharonHi Sharon
Hmmm, where exactly *IS* the focus in your tests after
closing the RoboHelp generated .CHM file? I just tested and saw the
same behavior regardless of whether it was a Microsoft .CHM or a
RoboHelp HTML created .CHM. Each time, the focus was returned to
Windows Explorer.
I do know that the manner in which your developers open a
.CHM can vary. For example, your developer can specify that a
particular tab have focus, such as the Index or TOC, while simply
double-clicking will result in the last opened tab being the active
tab.
Wish I had more to offer here, but I'm not seeing the same
behavior as you are. I do know there are some extended settings for
your window, but I'm doubtful that's the answer here.
Also, I'm not too sure how much stock I'd put in something a
Microsoft call center stated. Just the nature of call centers. Some
folks that staff them are good and skilled, some are a bit, shall
we say, lacking. This is truly "Luck of the draw".

I was referred here by customer service. I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC. After accepting the agreement I receive an error message saying "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit." There is no place to enter the serial number.
All your pictures will remain safe even after uninstalling the program. Your pictures are saved to your system in form of catalog present at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<your catalog><br />When you reinstall the program you can open this catalog and view all your photos again.

When I tried to use Firefox this morning I got this message with exclamation marks.
"SQlite Version Error The application has been updated, but your version of SQlite is too old and the application cannot run."
What is this all about?? Shall I give up on Firefox?Sorry to hear that. I understand your frustration and I hope they send back a better working N78-3.
Myself, I count myself lucky. Everything works perfectly for me right now...email, bluetooth, maps, gps, 3rd party apps, battery life, 3G, wifi, etc. etc.
The only issue I've been having is the dreaded reboots but I believe that may have to do with 3rd party apps. I recently uninstalled Google Search app from my N78 and since then it hasn't rebooted or shown any issues. This seems odd at first but makes sense if you think about the fact that the Google Search app loads itself into memory and runs in the background at all times.
I did this this past Tuesday night and so far no reboots, crashes or any problems. I'm sure I just jinxed myself but I've been using it heavily over the last few days with no issues. Prior to this, it would usually reboot every 2 days. If it doesn't reboot for another few days I'll be happy.
I would normally not stand for this but I just love the phone and if I got something else it'd probably be the iPhone 3G which has perhaps more software bugs and issues than the N78-3!!
Best of luck. Here's hoping they release an update soon. -
