The application "Dropbox - test" can't be opened -1712

I created two additional dropbox applications though Automator and they have been working fine with no problem along with my own normal Dropbox application. I have them all set to open on start up along with Google Drive so that they appear in the top bar on my Macbook Pro. They are also in the sidebar on Finder.
The problem i am having is that when i start up my Mac, my normal original Dropbox opens and syncs however the other two don't open. When i go to Applications and click on either of the two to open then i am getting the message - The application "Dropbox - test" can't be opened -1712.
I have been reading about this online and went to the Activity Monitor and forced quit these and they show up in red when i search for them. But then i still have no luck in opening them. I have allowed Applications to be opened from Everywhere in the System Preferences - Security section too.
Its very strange how i have had this working with no problems and then it suddenly stops.
Any help or suggestions anyone can give would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Where are you choosing to download the install files too? What is the status of the download in the Adobe Support Advisor?

I keep getting "The application QuickTime player can't be opened" -1712

I just upgraded to Lion on Thursday, and now I can't open QuickTime. Whenever I try to, I get the message "The application QuickTime player can't be opened" -1712
Any ideas?

Same here. I never had to download Adobe Reader when I was using Snow Leopard in order to open PDF's - it's supposed to be a built in feature of OS X to be able to click and open any PDF. Now I have to go and use external software (that's supposed to be built in already into the OS X) in order to open my files. I think this is a bug that Apple needs to sort out asap.

The application Microsoft Word can't be opened - 1712

Now, suddenly, I cannot open it, or read/create any files, even though I can see the documents in my folders, and the light under the Icon is lit on the dock. When I open my Applications Folder, Word is shown as in there, but when I clicked on it, I saw the following pop up (error message?): The application Microsoft Word can't be opened - 1712. I have no idea how this happened, but I'm hoping that someone can tell me what to do about it. Any advice will be appreciated.

You really should be asking this question on the MS Word forums.

Suggest also that you tell us what version of Mac OS X you are running and what version of MS Word.

Time machine problem? The application Finder.app can't be opened -10810

I've got a Snow Leopard system with an external FireWire Maxtor drive that has been set to be a Time Machine archive of the internal drive. I'm noticing the following problem (twice so far) which may or may not be TM related. I leave my machine and come in the morning; Time Machine says no backup happened since 7:45pm last night. I notice the file system is acting weird - can't open any of the disks from the desktop. I try to restart the Finder, and it says "The application Finder.app can't be opened -10810" - won't start the Finder! So, I had to reboot (and disconnected the FW drive). I'll try it for a couple of nights without the TM machine and see what happens. The reason I suspect TM is that sometimes I see the icon on the TM disk change from the blue/gray TM icon back to its native FW disk icon, and sometimes I see a message that says "Can't find disk" or something similar for that external drive.
Any ideas? Should I be looking for an external drive from another vendor, or will it be the same thing? Does TM have problems associated with Finder and error -10810? How do I debug?

No, I tried different drives, and it made no difference.
In the end I turned it off, and did backups with SuperDuper!.
funny you should mention SuperDuper. When you had this problem, did you have SuperDuper scheduled to back up other drives? I have a theory, which I'll test eventally. For some reason, this TM problem only happened at night - not all the times it activated (every hour) during the workday. Why?!? Well, one thing that happens at night for me is a scheduled SuperDuper backup of the same drive (the one TM is backing up) onto a mirror drive (not the one TM is writing to).
Maybe that's when the freeze occurs - when they both coincide at night? I'd think that the Unix-base of OS X shouldn't have any problems when two apps are reading one disk and at the same time, but maybe TM and SuperDuper are both doing some sort of low-level reads that can't be done at the same time? What do you think - might this explain your issues also?

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

The application "Creative Cloud" can't be opened -1701

Ran into an odd issue, the creative cloud desktop never initialized, it tried to but was never able to connect, (not an internet issue at all, just some kind of installation issue)
So the message "the application "Creative Cloud" can't be opened -1701" when you try to open the application.
Tried to uninstall, "unable to shutdown Creative Cloud Desktop. Quit Creative Cloud desktop and try again"
(the application does not appear to be running because it was never fully installed)
Attempted force quit, application does not appear in menu dialog.
Ran activity monitor cc shows as not responding, successful force quit.
Ran the app again, this is all it does, never loads.
Any thoughts suggestions, I have a hammer, drill and play dough...

Thanks for your reply, I quit the process for the adobe command, then I was able to uninstall, trying a new download now, here is the interesting thing.
Command:         Creative Cloud
Path:            /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/*/Creative Cloud.app/Contents/MacOS/Creative Cloud
Version:         1.6.0.393 ()
Parent:          launchd [198]
PID:             8005
Event:           hang
Duration:        1.55s
Steps:           16 (100ms sampling interval)
Looks like it hung itself, (Mail.app, I think is probably the issue, it suspends programs, so if adobe did not listen for that hook then it would not be able to resume, solution, quit mail.app
Since you have to authorize the installer I would think they could look for mail.app and ask to shut it down.

HT1338 this is the message I am getting: The application "Microsoft Word" can't be opened.

I am unable to open my documents... "The application "Microsoft Word" can't be opened. What is going on?

Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, revert back to your older OS X;
2. If your Mac will support it, either partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) to allow for a "dual-boot" system;
3. Upgrade your PowerPC software or use an alternative programs; or
4. The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
