TS4412 Aperture 3.4.3 simply won't launch from a fresh install

So, I just purchased Aperture from the App Store, and it won't launch.
I tried the advice here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4412
To no avail. Since the app hasn't launched, there is no preference file to delete.
The only other variables, of course, would be my hardware and OS, but all of that is up to date.
I kind of need the app running... Any idea what's happening?
Cheers,
T

Do you have Final Cut installed? The crash dump has all the signs of the classic Final Cut /Aperture conflict.
If so the easiest way to fix the situation is to just install the operating system Mountain Lion again. Re-installing the OS will not damage your data files however is it always a good idea to have a full backup in cases lie this.

Safari 2.0.3 won't launch from Mail

Since the new security update yesterday for OS X4.5, my Safari browser 2.0.3 won't launch from the Mail e-mail program.
What do I do now? It was working perfectly before the update.
Kathy : (

I've had the same problem using numerous apps and on different Macs since updating to 10.4.5. Today, using the "check for updates" in Quicken 2006, something corrupted Safari completely and it won't launch at all - double click merely shows the icon in the Dock for a second before it quits. I did all the usual stuff: deleted the cache, cookies, etc. Finally trashed the app but now I can't figure out how to reinstall it alone...

Applications won't launch from dock

I have recently had to re install tiger and was not able to use archive function so had to erase.
Most files etc were OK and was able to shift stuff around between the macs hard drive and an external storage device.
Lost of stuff got duplicated and I've been trying to sort out the mess!
I'm pretty well there now but have one last weird problem.
I can't launch the Word or Excell apps from the dock.
I've deleted and added them and also re installed the Office software but it still won't work.
I can open any of my Word or Excell files from the docs folder but the programme won't launch from the dock
Any ideas?

What happens if you go to office preferences (from your pulldown menu with Word or Excel open) >> general >> "show project gallery at startup" and deselect that item?
It's also possible that it could be a font that Office does not care for. Try dragging ~(yourhome)/library/fonts to the desktop and logging out and back in or restarting.

Email message won't download from server since installing IOS7

Some of my emails both on my iPad and iPhone won't download from server since installing IOS7!

I'm having the same problem with both my iPhone and iPad after installing iOS7. Checked all the settings and spoke to my email provider and everything is set up properly. It's hit or miss which messages don't download from the server too. And occasionally, a message that does download to my iPad, won't download on my iPhone. Everything on my PC downloads properly, it just seems to be an ios7 issue as this wasn't a problem before. My wife uses the same email provider and is still on iOS6.x with no issues. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Finder Won't Launch After Traumatic Re-Install

Hello All,
I've had one **** of a ride. I run 10.3.9. After a bad Mac update corrupted my boot disc, I was forced to reinstall...but since I bought my G4 used, I didn't have the original discs. I needed a computer up and running immediately, so installed the only operating system I could find...10.2.8. Luckily, all my files and apps are intact.
Today, I finally managed to find an install disc for 10.3.4. When I installed 10.3.4, everything was great....except that Finder won't launch. I can still launch the programs in my dock, but I can't get to apps that aren't in the dock...namely Final Cut Pro. I thought I might be able to beat it by installing the combined 10.3.9 update from Mac, but my Finder is still dead.
Any help anyone could provide would be more appreciated than you'll ever know. Thanks!

Welcome To  Discussions Mulcahey!
"...so installed the only operating system I could find...10.2.8."
"...find an install disc for 10.3.4."
What type of discs are these?
Are they a Jaguar Full Retail CDs, and a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs?
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
If not, that may be the problem.

ITunes won't launch after system re-install?

I had to reinstall Snow Leopard after my finder disappeared (I'm assuming some corruption to finder but who knows). Anyhow, I've spent all day re-installing Snow Leopard and bringing it back up to 10.6.6. Many of my third party apps needed to be re-installed as did major apps like FM Pro 11. But the Apple app. that won't launch is iTunes 10.4.1. Anybody with any thoughts on why this is happening and how I can resolve it? Thank you.

I re-verified permissions, shut down and removed all power (inc battery)- restarted and itunes started when launched from doc. I don't know what the difference was, but it seems to be working.

Will launch in Eclipse, won't launch from command prompt

I've got a project that works in Eclipse, but won't run from the command line prompt.
The command line command that I'm using is this...
java -cp /users/shared/RainfallSeriesTranslator/bin ui/LauncherThe error I get is this...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
     at ui.Launcher.getMethods(Launcher.java:37)
     at ui.Launcher.<clinit>(Launcher.java:15)and the class is this...
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Launcher {
     private final static String name = "RainfallSeriesTranslatorPanel";
     private final static String[] methods = getMethods();
     private final static String fileExt = ".class";
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          new Panel(name, methods);
     public static String[] getMethods() {
          String workingDirectory = System.getProperty("user.dir");
          String fileSeparator = System.getProperty("file.separator");
          String methodDirectory = workingDirectory + fileSeparator + "bin" + fileSeparator + "methods";
          File dir = new File(methodDirectory);
          ArrayList <String> methodsAL = new ArrayList<String>();
          FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
                  public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                      return name.endsWith(fileExt);
          String []contents = dir.list(filter);
          for (int i = 0; i < contents.length; i++){
               methodsAL.add(contents.replace(fileExt, ""));
          return methodsAL.toArray(new String[methodsAL.size()]);
     public String getPanelName() {
          return name;
     public String getFileExtensionName() {
          return fileExt;
}BTW the purpose of getMethods is to dynamically list out the classes (files) in the directory 'methods', and to load the names into an array which is passed to a JComboBox in the Panel. My intention is to permit users to select which method to use for the next step of the analysis. If there's a better way to do it, I'd like to know.
Having played around with the code, I can get it to run if I 'hardwire' the methodsAL arraylist to ...          methodsAL.add("Some method");...but that defeats the purpose of reading in the classnames dynamically.
So, the nullpointerexception seems to do with the array 'contents' not getting populated, but I can't figure out why. As I noted above, it works in Eclipse, so why doesn't it work from the command prompt?

Martin_J wrote:
Sorry, I had cut out some comment lines at the top.
Line 37 is the line
for (int i = 0; i < contents.length; i++){So it looks like the nullpointerexception is generated because the array 'contents' has a null (zero?) length.
On reflection, is this to do with the working directory? You will note that I have prepended the 'methods' directory with the working directory path. I'm thinking that this would work in Eclipse because the working directory is something, but it does not work when I execute from the command prompt because the working directory is something else.
If this is the case, then what is the best way to find a directory at a relative location to a class?You get that error because the directory doesn't exist at the given location (the bin folder I guess). dir.list() returns null.

IWork apps won't launch after new HD installed

My hard drive was failing so all files were backed up to an external hard drive (don't know what method - the Mac store did it for me) then moved to the new hard drive. Now the iWork apps won't launch. Doesn't matter which account I use and makes no difference if I boot in Safe Mode. I've updated iWork and still no difference. The icon flashes a couple of times on the dock, then disappears. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When you say you updated iWorks are you talking about the update a few days ago? How about just reinstalling the applications?

IMac won't boot from OS X install disc!

I'm needing to do some internal hard drive repairs but the system won't boot from the install disc! I've restarted it tons of times while holding down "C" and it just bypasses it and boots right into OS X. It restarts as normal with the chime (I am holding down "C") then the Apple logo comes up, then the spinning circle thing, but it just goes right into OS X. Help!

Let's be sure you are doing it properly.
First, you must use the OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. Carefully check both surfaces for scratches, dirt, fingerprints and if so clean it carefully with a very soft cleaning cloth that won't scratch the disc.
Second, insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when the spinning gear appears below the dark gray Apple logo.

Firefox won't launch even after re-install

Firefox hung and I forcequit. It would not restart. I cannot locate the sessionstore.js file -- it is not where Help says it should be. So I reinstalled it. It still won't launch. Then I restored it from Time Machine - still won't launch.
I cannot find any preferences files to remove.

hello pedro, this crash is caused by the "Media Accelerator" part your nvidia graphics driver. please see if you can selectively disable it in the nvidia control panel or even uninstall it. otherwise please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

FCP won't launch after Archive and Install

After the fiasco of the 1.1 update for the Alu-iMac's I had to do an archive and install on my system to return it to 1.0.
Everything is now working fine but FCP6 won't launch. It bounces in the dock once and then nothing. LiveType and DVD Studio 4 will open but Color, Motion and FCP won't.
I have trashed preferences and repaired permissions with no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

There are files that are not brought along with Archive and Install.
Some are invisible and not accessible without enabling "root" access and even then you have to know exactly which files have to be moved from the 'previous System' folder.
Archive and Install never works with Apple's Pro apps.
If Niel's suggestion doesn't work you'll have to erase your hard drive and reinstall everything making sure you first backup important data to another hard drive.

Final Cut Server 1.5: G5 clients won't launch from icon

So I upgraded my client from FCServer 1.1.1 to 1.5. They have a mix of G5 and Mac Pro stations. The 4 Mac Pros are all working fine after some fiddling and Java cache deleting. The G5s, however, won't run the client launched from the saved icon.
Scenario:
Access the client download from (IP address)/finalcutserver in a web browser - this works.
The applet downloads and saves - this works.
SOMETIMES it asks where to save the app - sometimes works.
The client app runs, logs in, all working fine - great.
BUT...if you quit and try to relaunch from that icon, it doesn't work. Purged Java caches, emptied the cache in the client, etc. - nothing. Updated from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8, same problem.
The Intel boxes all work, none of the G5s do - seems entirely platform specific.
-mike

Heh... I solved this... in a manner of speaking. I really appreciate the input from Nicholas, Andy, RadUS, and everyone else, but nothing worked.
Weird. May be actually a Java problem, not a FCSvr problem, maybe something in the Java implementation of 10.5.7 and later. But who knows? No word on this from Apple. There's a surprise.
Here's the solution I ended up with. It's a cop-out I know, but it works!
My solution was to put the Final Cut Server.jnlp file on my desktop and just launch it from there. You can even make it look like the desktop app if you want. Here's how:
First you have to get the Final Cut Server.jnlp file on your desktop. It's not easy to find, because it's located in some weird temp directory somewhere buried in the recesses of the OS. If you don't know where it is, look through your browser's download history and find it. You can always redownload it by going to your server (yourserver.com/finalcutserver) and redownloading it. When you find it, move it to your desktop. Then do a Get Info on both the desktop app and jnlp file. Click on the icon for the app (the tray with the balls) and press Command C to copy the icon. Then click on the jnlp icon (the document with the cup of java) and press Command V to paste the FCSvr desktop app icon to the jnlp. Then check "hide extension" in the jnlp's get info window. Voila. You now have a "fake" desktop app. Yes, it's fake. Get over it! You won't be able to tell a difference. This is the only solution I came up with and I reinstalled Leopard twice.
Hope this helps others too!

MacBook Pro won't boot from HD or Install CD

I have a 15" MacBook Pro running Lion. It won't boot from the HD or Install CD.
1. When I try to boot it from the HD, it makes the boot sound and displays the Apple logo. The small "working" wheel spins for about 20 seconds, and then gets stuck mid-spin.
2. When I try to boot from the Install CD, I eventually get a gray screen with a large power button image and the text "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button."
I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC per another post, but nothing changed. I have also tried to boot it from an Ubuntu 11.10 CD, which also got stuck.
Any idea what the problem could be and next steps I should take?

My Mac started freezing (colored pinwheel) every time I tried using any application (i.e. Safari, iPhoto). After restarting for the 2nd time, it would no longer boot - makes start up sound but gets stuck on gray screen w/ apple icon. I tried resetting PRAM also - did nothing. I decided to reinstall OS; problem now is my HD is nowhere to be found! I am a tech dummy so this is way beyond my comprehension...I'm not seeing my HD from the Disk Utility either???
Side question...I backed up my files (mostly pics JPEG and videos) on DVD (had to compress to save). Why can't I open files on PC?

4.3 won't launch from lrcat files

I always launch LR by double-clicking the catalog files for the images that I want to work in.... I have many catalogs so launching from the one I need is the simplest way. Installed 4.3 today, and now, double-clicking the catalog files does nothing... LR won't launch, nothing happens. anyone else seeing this?? any help from Adobe??

Okay, that answered that question for me. But something else just doesn't make sense. I just tried it again, double clicked on the catalog file, and Lightroom opened just as expected. All I did was download the 4.3 update and install it like I normally do. So I wonder why it would fail to do a registry entry on your computer but not mine. I'm not challenging you, or saying that you are wrong. It just doesn't make sense. It almost seems like if there is any anomaly with Lightroom or with the computer that Lightroom is automatically the thing that gets blamed. The program has been so erratic, baggy, inconsistent, slow, and who knows what else that it seems to have gotten some people terribly gun shy. I just wish Adobe could almost start over if necessary to make things right. I like Lightroom a lot. Maybe I'm just going to have to stop reading the forums because every time I come on here I get scared about another problem. I hope I don't run into the same thing you're having. But I wish Adobe looked like they were really on top of things.
