Zulu,
Quit (by any means necessary) Numbers.
Move the Numbers preference file from here:
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
replace <your user name> with your user name.
to go to the folder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder..." and enter the path:
"/Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/" then locate and move the file:
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
To the Desktop:
Now Launch Numbers

Hello maryfromkailua,
Unresponsive apps can be frustrating. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning app issues:
OS X Mavericks: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly
There are several solutions to try.
If the app is frozen, force quit the app. Press Option-Command (⌘)-Esc, select the app, then click Force Quit.When you force an app to quit, you may lose unsaved changes.
If the app quit, reopen it by clicking Reopen in the dialog that appears.
Restart your Mac.Methods for starting up your Mac
Read the app’s documentation to check if it’s compatible with your version of OS X.
Open another file in the app. There may be a problem with the original file.
Check for updates to your software.Keep your Mac up to date
Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of OS X.
Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers.If you recently updated the app or OS X, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.
Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test. These tools can tell you if hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective.Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test
Restart your Mac in safe mode.Start up in safe mode
Use Disk Utility to repair your computer’s internal disk.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

The application Safari can't be opened -1712

Has anyone seen this error message when trying to open the Safari application?
The application Safari can't be opened.

Thank you

Thanks Carolyn!
Force Quitting within Activity Monitor is a quick and efficient way to handle most Applications "Not Responding" or seeming not to open with error -1712.
It can also work great for an Application that "Freezes" and is giving the spinning beach ball
Just be aware that you may lose any unsaved work by force quitting an application.

Just installed os x maverick and updated my version of pages now when I try to open a document stored in pages format from old version get message "The Application "pages" can't be opened -1712 What is wrong?

Just updated to new version of pages. Now can not open stored documents created under al pages. Get message "the application pages can' be opened -1712" hat do I do?

Apple released Pages 5.0 to run on Maverics only. They completely rewrote the program for Maverics and 64 bit compatibility. They failed to explain that this version is missing much of the previous version's capability and that it cannot read older Pages files. When they install it they leave the older Pages 4.3 in place because it is the only way to read the older Pages files and upgrade them to a level that can be read by Pages 5!
If you still have Pages 4.3 on your computer it will tell you what to do. If you do not then go into your backups and retrieve it.
Because of the deficiences of Pages 5 I have removed it from my Mac and gone back to working with Pages 4.3. I have also removed Pages 2 from my iPad and found Pages 1.7 in the Time Machinew backups and brought it forward and droped it onto the iTunes icon to restore it and then synced the iPad to get the Pages 1.7 running again - it is compatible with Pages 4.3 on the Mac so all is back to normal for me.
Apple say that they will fix many of the deficiences in Pages 5 in the next six months. I suggest you wait until then and keep an eye on these communities beforte considering the "upgrade".
Incedentaly Pages 5.0 writes files that cannot be read by anything else including Pages 4.3 - better hope no one sends you one! It does not save RTF either - what where they thinking!

The application finder can't be opened -1712

Hello,
I've already search in forum for this problem, however, I couldn't find an answer.
I've tried the option in the terminal typing: /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder &
But could only use finder while terminal was open, and I can't shut down or restart my iMac.
What can I do?
Thank you very much.

Force a shutdown by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Then reboot and test.

Error Msg: "The application iTunes can't be opened. -1712" How can I open the application?

Error Msg: "The application iTunes can't be opened. -1712" Spinning Wheel from ****! How can I open this application?

Try downloading and reinstalling iTunes.
Does iTunes start normally in Safe Mode by holding down the Option and Command keys when starting iTunes?
If it works normally, take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

MacBook Pro The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712

Hello community,
My MacBook Pro
Processor 2.4 GHz
Memory 4 GB
Storage capacity 19.31 GB free out of 249.2 GB
OS X.9.4
The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712
I have gone on line to look up possible fixes.
1. I did: Go to Applications: Utilities: Disk Utility and ran: Verify Disk Permissions, Repair Disk Permissions. Both fine.
2. I did: Finder: Go: Library: Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist and deleted that file. I tried to relaunch preview and it is still not working.

Try deleting the com.apple.preview folder from the Containers folder in your /Home/Library.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

Error message "the application APPLICATION_NAME can't be opened. -10810"

All of a sudden I started getting the error message "the application APPLICATION_NAME can't be opened. -10810" whenever I attempt to open an application. Sometimes all of the applications will work, but then all of a sudden one or two applications will turn unresponsive and I will get the above message whenever I attempt to open any application. Does anyone know what this error might be, and how I might go about fixing it?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

" the application iPhoto can't be opened"

mac book pro 15inch mid2010 OS X yosemite version 10.10.2 recently did digital camera RAW compatibility update version 6.03 then backed up all iPhoto libraries to WD passport (external hard drive ). First time logging back on since update and back-up and when trying to open iPhoto window pops up " the application iPhoto can't be opened"
any suggestions?

That's it? Nothing else? No buttons to click?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
