The application "FreeHand" could not be launched because of a shared librar

Suddenly I can not launch FreeHand 10
I get:
The application "FreeHand" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "5<FreeHand X><FreeHand X><PowerPlant Shared Library>"
Only thing I can think of that is different now than last time I used FH is I activated iWork Pages
The solution would be great, as would tips on how/where I can go discover the solution without having to ask someone to help me - can't figure out how to get mac's help to point me to solution
I have repaired permissions
thanks

Hi, Robert.
Here is some general advice on troubleshooting shared library errors. In your case, I suspect points 1 and 2 below apply as it looks like the shared library error in this case is citing only Freehand-related components (a check on the Adobe site indicates the PowerPlant Shared Library is part of Freehand).
A shared library error, in general terms, implies a missing, corrupted, or incompatible application or operating system framework. Details on frameworks and shared libraries (heavy technical reading) can be found in the "Frameworks" section of the "Software Development Overview" chapter of the Apple Developer Connection document Mac OS X Technology Overview, and the Framework Programming Guide.
Causes for shared library errors include:
• The affected application has been corrupted and must be reinstalled.
• The affected application is incompatible with the version of Mac OS X you are using, or depends upon another application or operating system component which is either corrupted or incompatible with the affected application.
• Running incompatible versions of two applications with interdependent shared libraries.
• Disk directory or permission corruption.
• Corrupted operating system installation.
To resolve shared library errors:
1. As a start, perform a general checkup by running the Procedure in my Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption FAQ. Directory corruption can result in a shared library being seen as "missing."
2. If the problem persists, and only one application is affected, uninstall, then reinstall the affected application. See my "Uninstalling applications" FAQ for important advice on uninstalling software.
3. Assure that the version of Mac OS X you are using is compatible with the system requirements of the affected application. The system requirements for an application can usually be determined by consulting either its documentation, the developer's Web site, or by contacting the developer.
4. Assure you are running either the latest versions or compatible versions — as specified in the system requirements of the affected application — of other applications, if any, cited in error messages concerning the shared library error. Error messages concerning the shared library error may be displayed in alert dialogs or may appear in Console logs. In particular, check these of these Console logs for specific messages citiing the shared library error and the affected application. Applications cited in the error message, other than the affected application, indicate that the affected application depends upon a shared library provided by these other applications.• Assure you are running the correct, compatible versions of any applications, other than the affected applicaiton, cited in the error messages.
• Reinstall any of the applications, other than the affected application, cited in the shared library error message.For example, the shared library error messageThe application "application_name" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "<<applicationname><Apple;Carbon;Multimedia><CFMPrivQuickTime>could imply that the installed version of QuickTime may either be corrupted or incompatible with the affected application due to the presence of CFMPriv_QuickTime in the message.
5. If the problem persists, or the shared library in question is part of the operating system, reinstall Mac OS X using the Archive and Install process. See my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ.
Good luck!

IDVD5, "The application iDVD could not be opened because the required ha."

First post in these subject forums. I am posting the same text in iDVD and iMovieHD which were from iLife'05, but I won't post there.
I loaded iLife'05 and also managed to get iDVD5 loaded although the packaging indicated that I needed to have a 733mhz G4 or faster processor and I have a Prismo Powerbook, 500 mhz and it was successful or maybe not.
Then I opened iDVD, I got this Error message..."The application iDVD could not be opened because the required hardware could not be found"...which makes sense as I have an external Lacie (CD-R,-RW, DVD-R,-RAM,-RW,R,+RW,R DL) burner that I bought about a year ago that my wife also uses on her G4 tower.......... and I did not have it connected. So I connected it and when I opened iDVD again and it still reads: "The application iDVD could not be opened because the required hardware could not be found." Shut down and reboot, no difference.
This probably does not have any bearing on the issue but in the System Profiler for "Disk Burning" there is a parameter "Burn Support" which is "Yes (Unsupported)", should this be "Yes (supported)"?
Question #1: Does iDVD5 only work with an Apple "superdrive" or does it work with other third party "DVD burners" ?
So I used iMovieHD from iLife'05 to create a project of an old family vacation (from an old 8mm Sony Handycam) and wanted to create a DVD, for archive reasons and to view on TV with a DVD player, but I could not do anything because of different errors now in iMovieHD.
File > Share...(a window opens and I choose iDVD and then click the "share" button) and this error comes up:
The movie could not be sent to iDVD, because of an unknown error.
"Please make sure that iDVD is properly installed, that your project disk has write permission, and that you have enough disk space. (Error 0)"
Next I tried: File > Burn Project to Disc......and this error comes up.
No Disc Burning Drive Found
"If you have an apple-supported disc burner, please check your connections and try again."
The project file is 5.89GB and I have 57.97GB free on the hard drive so I don't think that space on the hard drive is an issue.
Question #2: Is the issue of not being able to create a DVD from iMovieHD related to the iDVD issue although the error messages in iMovieHD and iDVD are different?
Question #3: How are Video DVD's from the Hollywood Studios able to make DVD's longer than 2 hours?
Thanks all for your help in advance. John

Klaus1, thank you.
I will verify again to make sure that I have the correct driver installed for the LaCie drive and I know positively it was connected via firewire.
That being said, after reading a lot of postings on the web, I am getting the impression that these iLife05 applications need a native Apple superdrive on order to burn a DVD. I do not have any other third party apps loaded on it yet it, but I will load some that can burn to a DVD. If I am successful in getting the non-Apple apps to burn a DVD with the LaCie, I will try again with iDVD5 and if I still can't get iDVD to do it, then maybe my assumption would be valid.
Thanks again!

How do I stop the dialog, "The Application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because..." from appearing?

The dialog appears exactly like this, "The application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "h<__ct__16CTransportRelMacFP18OpaqueTransportRefUc>"
I tried to get this resolved by following the Solution ID: 14020. Here is the problem. There is NO "Install Utility" in any of the Palm Desktop Installer file (either on the CD or downloaded from the website).
In addition, I uninstalled Missing Sync the deleted Palm. I then re-installed Palm and Missing Sync respectively. The problem persists.
Help!
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Cingular)

Ok,
I have been thrashing on this one for a while. PLEASE, PLEASE, if this helped you pass this along to other forums because there are tons of people out there with this same issue and NO USEFUL information from PALM to fix it.
The fix is easy. Basically the problem is that there is a remaining process running in FreeBSD subsystem that must be stopped in order to reinstall the hotsync/palm application correctly.
Log in as root/administrator
Go to terminal and type:
ps -ax | grep -i palm
this will show all processes that are running in the system that are part of the palm software.
note the process number (on the left) of the list.
killl nnn
i.e if the left column says 654 type "kill 654" and hit enter
now do the ps -ax again and make sure the process stopped.
This also fixes that other issue when you try to empty the trash and you get an error that says Localized.rsrc is in USE. blah , blah, blah
Now reinstall the palm software and breath a big sigh of relief. Have a beer and sync your palm.

Why am I getting the message "project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)" when trying to share my imovie to media browser?

Hi

Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
• Create a new User-Account
• Log out of Your old one and into this
• Re-try iMovie
If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
from Karsten Schlüter
Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'

'The song "xyz" could not be used because the original file could not be found.

I am quite new to iTunes so please excuse me if the questions seem daft
I have recently changed my default iTunes Media folder location from my local C:\ drive to my home network storage device
(my PC is permanently mapped to this NAS storgae drive)
Now When I go to play a song in itunes I get the message 'The song "xyz" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it"
Looking in the new iTunes Media folder, I can see the following folders and they are mostly empty:
Automatically Add to iTunes
Downloads
Mobile Applications
Music
Note that I have music that I bought from iTunes and music from other sources \ given to me by friends
Questions:
(1) How do I get all my music back into this new iTunes Media folder?
(2) Exactly which files contain my music? (I ask because we have 2 or 3 libraries that I wish to consolidate into 1 master Library for us all)
If I know exactly which files are required I can delete any other files cluttering up my storage and PC

Changing the media folder path tells iTunes where to put new media that is ripper or purchased. It may offer to consolidate to the new location when you make the edit, if not iTunes will expect existing content to remain on the original path.
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
For more background on the typical layout of the iTunes library see Make a split library portable.
1) It depends on exactly what you have done to break things.
2) Your media files are where you put them, or where iTunes copies them to when they are added to the library. If multiple libraries use the same set of media folders there can be problems if edits in one library cause content to be moved as the other libraries will no longer see those tracks on the original path, and won't know to look in a new one.

Some of the application resources could not be loc...

Hi everyone,
after (repeated) installation of PC Suite on a Windows Vista PC I still get the following error message, when PC Suite auto-starts:
"Some of the application resources could not be located. Please reinstall the application."
(The installation procedure itself runs w/o any problems.)
History:
- An older version of PC Suite was running w/o major problems on my PC. (Unfortunatly I don't remember the exact version.)
- Then I installed PC Suite 6.83 a few weeks ago, and saw the above error message the first time. Uninstalling & reinstalling did not help. So I was not able using PC Suite in the meantime.
- Today I tried it with the latest version 6.84, hoping that the underlaying problem might be fixed. Unfortunatly no changes.
- Again I uninstalled and reinstalled - also without Firewall or Virus Scanner - no success. The error message remains.
Additional details:
- Today, after my 1st installation try of 6.84 I also received the following information messages:
"Unable to load resources: C:\PROGRAM FILES\NOKIA\NOKIA PC SUITE 6\Lang\PCSync2_ger.nlr"
and
"Unable to load graphical resources: C:\PROGRAM FILES\NOKIA\NOKIA PC SUITE 6\Resource\PCSync2_ger.ngr".
- I searched for these two files and I found them.
- But interestingly these two messages don't show up anymore.
My system data:
- Windows Vista Business, 32 bit,
system updates from Windows Update installed
- Nokia PC Suite: 6.84.10.3 ger
Does anybody know help?
Is there a log file somewhere that I could use to understand which resources are actually missing?
@Nokia: When is PC Suite Cleaner planned to be available for 6.83 and later versions and for Vista?
Many thank in advance
Christian

Some Import Operations failed to perform. The following files could not be imported because they could not be read....(then all the files that I checked do not get imported

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

On some of my files there is a ! in front of it, if I try to play the song, I get an error message; "The song "_____" could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Then when I click "Locate", I get nothing.

I'm really dumbfounded on this one and it's driving me bonkers!!!! On some of my music files there is a ! in front of it, if I try to play the song, I get an error message; "The song "_____" could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
This began to happen when Chuck made playlists2burn on2CD-and then he would delete the playlist; sending all the song files into oblivion. Certain songs have a ! right next to the file name, and as I stated before, i get that error message:
"The song "_____" could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
So I click on "Locate". No help. I get a menu with folders that say "catroot" and other folders which names I cannot remember, but I scroll PAST the file folders, & it's just a bunch of ".DLL" files.....I don't understand what any of the names of the folders mean...it's frustr8ing-coz this is my 2nd iTouch, my 1st one got stolen & I can't afford2buy my music back at this time & i NEVER before had a single problem with losing song file locations.
              Is there anyone out there who has been through this frustrating game of chasing your tail?....<that's how I feel>
If so I would be ever so gr8ful if maybe someone with the knowledge would be so kind as 2 tell me how/where 2 retrieve these songs & how to put everything back where it belongs, I would be 4ever gr8ful !!!
I can't afford 2 replace the songs just like I'm unable 2 buy back my old music from my stolen iTouch....man that was an awesome collection-someday I'll be able 2 afford 2 do that & I would like 2 have all the new music that I paid 4 but cannot find when I got my new iTouch....that would just be wonderful.
             I hope someone sees this post that can help me retrieve these files....losing $100.00 of iTunes is a REAL BUMMER!!!!!!

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

I put about 30 photos on my thumb drive so I could take them with me. I saw them on the drive at one point, now on some of them I am getting the error; "The file "?" could not be opened because it is empty." The file still is large in size, and there is data there, but "Preview" will not open it. These are important photos for work, and I want to know if there is any other way to retrieve them. Also, does anyone out there know why it did this. Only some of the photos can no longer be opened, and I did NOT edit any of them. I simply drug them over to a portable drive.
Thank you,
