Unable to open Apple application

Last week, I did the most current software updates. Ever since then, I have been unable to open certain Apple programs such as iChat, Skype, Preview, Pages, Photo Booth, etc. I have tried to download AIM, but the computer says it isn't supported. Also, now when I try to open Photo Booth, it says my graphics card doesn't support it, but I have never changed the card from the one the computer came with. The programs will open up, and then immediately quit, and I am left with "The application _____ quit unexpectedly" message. No matter how many times I relaunch and reset, ignore, or report, I can't get them to open. I'm in college and really have no way to get to a Genius Bar for a few more weeks, and I don't have the Leopard disk with me. Is there any way I can fix this on my own? Thanks!

I think it was the repair disk permission that actually worked for me. I tried it once and got no result, and then tried to download the updater. For whatever reason, I couldn't even download that. So I went back and did the disk permission repair again. It still didn't seem to work, so I just turned the computer off out of frustration. When I turned it back on, it was all fixed. So I'm not entirely sure what it was that fixed it...all I know is it works now!

Unable to open all applications on my iphone 3g

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this issue before and what I can do to rectify it.
I am unable to open any applications on my iphone 3g. When I select an application it will begin to load and then immediately close. This is happening with all applications, so I am unable to use any of them. I have tried resetting all my settings on the phone and turning off the phone for an extended period of time. It has been like this for about 2 days.
I am not sure what I can do to fix this, can anyone help?

To get the most useful help you should give more info such as the iPhone OS version, your computer OS, and iTunes version.
Sometimes this is caused by a corrupted metadata file and is fixed by downloading a new app to the phone.
If not, take the usual troubleshooting steps:
Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Restore in iTunes using a backup.
Restore as a new phone.

Do you have Flip4Mac installed?, this seems to be the cause, read all the posts here for complete removal.

Display "Application over 20MB" when I type OK button, the appearance will not go away and make me unable to open other applications, what to do and whether it must be restarted

display "Application over 20MB" when I type OK button, the appearance will not go away and make me unable to open other applications, what to do and whether it must be restarted?

The 20 meg message is the download limit for 3G. If you can't get rid of the 'OK' message then you can do a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You should be able to download the apps by switching to wifi on your iPad or downloading them on your computer's iTunes and syncing them or dragging and dropping them over to the iPad device.

Also, does reinstallation takes the back up automatically or the files will be lost. Please help.

Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances. Take your pick.

Unable to open any applications in administrator account

My OS is 10.6.2. Just tonight, I was unable to open any applications in my administrator account (Safari, iCal, iTunes, calculator, system preferences, etc.). In other words, I can't do anything while logged into my administrator account. However, everything works fine if I log into the guest account. Any suggestions? I have restarted my computer and that did not help.

What happens when you try to launch applications? Do you see error messages?
Check the behavior in Safe Mode by restarting the computer with the Shift key held down. Booting will take a while longer--this is normal, so just be patient.

I am unable to open any applications and the top menu bar (while everything else freezes) disappears about a minute after powering on my macbook.

A little while back, I attempted to write files to a disk, and then my computer went to a screen that I remember looking similar to thishttp://i44.tinypic.com/mheyy1.jpg After going in to speak with apple, they tried to reset specific settings and ended up erasing the majority of the files on my computer. After all this, my computer began to function terribly and finder would not respond. I did a software update just now and upon doing so my menu bar at the top of the screen is visible only for a moment before disappearing. When I try to open any application, the icon turns to a TXT icon and will not open. I am unable to do much of anything on my macbook right now. Thanks for your help!

These files were lost two years ago.
That's not consistent with what you wrote in your first message. I can't help you unless I know what's going on. Either you do, or do not, have backups of all the data you want to keep. If you do not, then the first thing you need to do is back up those files. It makes zero sense to do anything else. In order to back up, you'll need either of two things: another Mac, in working order, with a FireWire port and enough space on its internal drive to hold your files; or an external drive, also with enough space.
On the other hand, if you do have backups, or if you simply don't care about any of the data, then the solution to your problem may be quite simple. All you have to do is boot from your installation disc (your profile says you're running Mac OS 10.5), erase your internal drive, reinstall the Mac OS, then restore your data from backup. You will need to be selective in restoring software, because incompatible software may be what caused the issue.
But it's also possible that you have a hardware failure, in which case you can't get your computer working again until it's repaired.

Mail Icon is missing, and unable to open from Applications. (Mail 3.6 is not supported is the error message) I am on Lion OSX 10.7.3.

I closed the mail folder when I did a software update. This morning, the mail icon is missing, and am not able to open from applications, or find it anyware in the toolbar. Error message says that Mail 3.6 is not supported by OSX Lion 10.7.3

Xcode 4.x cannot be installed on Snow Leopard. You need a 3.x. So if that is what you used then yes, you need to install lion. If connect.apple.com still alows registration or logins using an existing appleid then you could download the last xcode 3.2.6 for free.

Citrix XenApp Unable to Open Published Applications. Via UAG Trunk

Good Morning,
I'm trying to publish XenApp through a UAG trunk. When I click in the XenApp icon I am presented with the Citrix login page and am able to log in. However, if I try to open any application I am prompted to either open or save the ICA file and on clicking
open I always get the following message, "Unable to launch your application. Contact your helpdesk with the following information: Cannot connect to XenApp server. There is no Citrix XenApp server configured on the specified address." If I log in
to the UAG server I can connect to the Citrix server and run all applications without error. If I save the ICA file the contents are as expected and the correct server is listed.
Forefront UAG is running a two node NLB array with SP4 and Citrix is published via an F5 load balancer.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks.

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?
regards,
christian

Unable to open downloaded applications - Indesign & Illustrator

Hi - I purchased a one year subscription for Indesign and Illustrator yesterday. However, the entire suite downloaded after quite a few hours. I am unable to open InDesign & Illustrator. I keep getting an Adobe comment box saying something like - to renew your subscription with a link or the message try again in 15 minutes. I had downloaded the updated Download Assistant. This is very frustrating as I need to work on some files I had created previously when I took out a subscription a few months ago which expired due to an accounting issue.
I would appreciate your assistance

Unable to open HFM application using workspace

I am facing the follwing error after reconfiguration of EPMA from server IP address to server name.
Whenever I try to open the sample application Comma from workspace I get the following error

After reading various support links for the above error I tried the following

Unable to open Planning application through Workspace

Hi All,
I have Installed and configured the Hyperion products in the following Order
->Foundation services
->Essbase server
->Essbase Administration service
->Planning
->Reporting and Analysis
->Workspace
We know that workspace is a single user interface.
After configuring, I tried to open the Planning Application through workspace but I could not able to find "*Classic Application Administration*" under Administer option of Navigate menu Kindly guide me.
Thanks and Regards
chiDam

You don't need to start downloading weblogic.
Usually the issue is that either the web server has not been configured (this is not weblogic) or the permissions are not correct in shared services e.g. the hss roles of application creator, dimension editor.
You can always try going to create a planning application directly first http://<planningmachine>:8300/HyperionPlanning/AppWizard.jsp
Cheers

Unable to open Applications folder

I am unable to open my Applications folder and my Pictures folder. When I click on either one of them, this box pops up: "There is no default application specified to open the document Applications (or Pictures, if that is the folder I'm clicking on)." In other words, it appears that the system thinks the Applications and Pictures folders are documents. I can access the contents of these two folders by clicking on "Show Package Contents." I have checked many other folders, and they all open normally. I've also run repair permissions in Disk Utility, but that has not helped. I would appreciate any suggestions to correct this issue.

something caused them to be treated as packages instead of folders
When this has happened in the past what happened is the bundle bit got set on some folder it shouldn't have been. As to WHY that happened, I don't think anyone ever figured it out. If one has installed Xcode I know you can easily check on the bundle bit and reset it. Sometimes Apple has the necessary tools installed without Xcode: you need GetFileInfo and SetFile, which might be in /usr/bin if Apple is installing them by default in Snow Leopard (I used to put them online as a public service, that may not be necessary now).
To check to see if the bundle bit is set you use GetFileInfo in Terminal:
GetFileInfo ~/Pictures
Pressing return after typing the above will return the following:
directory: "/Users/francine/Pictures"
attributes: avbstClinmedz
created: 12/12/2008 11:05:55
modified: 03/31/2010 01:23:28
In this case the bundle bit is NOT set (lower case "b") although the custom icon is. If the attributes shows
avBstclinmedz
as it sounds to me like it would, then the bundle bit is set and can be changed using the SetFile command:
SetFile -a b ~/Pictures
The situation is a bit trickier if the root level, main Application folder also has the bundle bit set, since that folder belongs to the system. One would have to run the command using sudo.
