What do these applications have in common? Why won't they launch?

Not entirely sure why this has happened now, though think it may be something to do with an Adobe Reader update that only partially installed a few days back, however, virtually all of the applications on my machine will no longer launch, with the exception of Firefox (fortunately), Parallels Desktop and Microsoft Office.
Trying to launch the following applications results in their icon bouncing in the dock a couple of times and then quitting, with no error message (with the exception of adobe suite, which tells me "it's unexpectadly quit"):
Mail
Safari
Skype
Adium
Spotify
iTunes
iDVD
iMovie
SketchUp
Adobe Applications - Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash CS3
What is it about the above programs that's not allowing them to work, when Firefox seems to work fine?!
If anyone knows what the problem is, or has any ideas, I would be extremely grateful!
Tom

I've reset this thing like 3 times now what's going on with it? why won't it connect to my iTunes?

Beyond resetting what have you tried?
Common fixes can be to use a different USB port or different USB cable. You can also try updating iTunes, or uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
Does your computer see it at all? Is there a little chirp when you plug it in?

HT1766 I do not know how to back up that is why i made the apt i am afraid of loosing my info i did once before. why won't they help me?

I crashed my i phone trying to upgrade. I took it to a Sprint store and they crashed my phone and lost all my iformation.

Why won't they help me at the store that is what i need help with to save my info while the delete my old accounts and ger me ONE account and password with back up that works? Why won't they help me do this at the store? just got it working i don't want to loose it again

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

What are these LAUNCH errors, and why won't they go away?

Hi guys,
Mucho thanks to anyone who can help me. Here's my problem:
I went into my Event List and deleted lots of hyperdraw volume automation from many regions, one region at a time. This is the first time I've done this, only reading today how to do it. Now I have two error messages constantly coming up. Neither stops occurring.
1.
When reopening the session, the error says this, caps and exclamation points included:
"LAUNCH Event without associated track found! Changed to track 1."
-I have to click "ok" for four of these.
2.
When trying to change the lengths of regions and a few other normal editing choices, the error says this:
"Tracknumber of LAUNCH too high!"
-I have to click "cancel" for eight of these, and I'm never allowed to do the editing.
So...
-What do these mean?
-How do I get rid of them?
-What is "LAUNCH?"
-Without knowing it, did I delete some Event info. in those lists that I shouldn't have?
Random info: I'm running a 47 track session with my audio preferences set to 48 tracks. The CPU handles the load fine, before and now, I'm just getting these errors.
Thank you!

I'm pretty much 100% sure that "LAUNCH Event" errors are associated only with MIDI tracks.
There's one situation I know by heart that will cause such a message and it has to do with joining folders that don't contain exactly the same track count/track assignments.
I would suggest that in order to get rid of the messages to try the following:
1. Open your song
2. Select the first of your MIDI tracks create a duplicate of that track (i.e., create a new track with the same MIDI assignment and then opt-drag the regions in your original region to the new track).
3. Delete the original track
4. See if you can now perform your editing operations on it. IF SO, repeat this procedure for the rest of your MIDI tracks.
Let me know if you try this out, and, how it goes.

Gamecenter: How to see what games recommended friends have in common

In Gamecenter, for recommended friends, it says they have 1 game in common with me, or 2 games in common with me.
But there is no way for me to click on the person's information to see which games they have in common with me.
Without knowing this information, I am sending a blind friend request to a stranger without knowing what we have in common. Perhaps it is a game that I no longer play.
Is there a solution to this?
Thank you in advance.

You can use the program RSDDS_CHANGERUN_MONITOR to monitor the change run, where you can get all the data for which Info objects are changed and which aggregates are being adjusted and all.
To know the number of changes you need to check the P table of an infoobject and check the M version entries, that will be the number of changes.
Also to know which aggregates are being adjusted when a change run is running go to table RSDDAGGRDIR selecting u201CINAu201D in the column Object Status and u201CAu201D in the column Version.
Also to verify which infoobjects are being used by aggregates Analyze table RSDCUBEIOBJ.

What are these applications that minimalist looking desktops uses?

Hi,
I have started to envy the desktops looking like this: http://ompldr.org/vNmt1dQ , but I can't identify what is being used in order to get a desktop looking like those. Can you tell me what kinds of applications are used in that picture. Like, which window managers, panels, the things in applets, or whatever you can see on that desktop.
Also, if you are one of the people with those kind of looking desktops, can you tell me which kinds of applications do you prefer in general, along with the ones that are appearant on that picture.
Thanks in advance.

yasar11732 wrote:I have found that picture on one of the share your desktop threads, but I am not sure if I could find that one again. And, what I was wondering was more particularly, the bar at bottom that says chat files etc. And the upper bar where volume is shown, and other gauges are also there. What kind of panel is that? And also, the part above the panel list some of the open applications, does that person uses two panels one over each other, or is it something else?
The gauges and info (top bar and right bottom bar) are probably a combination of programs like conky and dzen2. The left bottom bar is probably inbuilt from the windowmanager, the programs listed above that are probably from tmux or 'screen' (terminal multiplexers that allow multiple 'windows' of terminal programs).

Why won't Safari LAUNCH in Yosemite???

I was very frustrated that all the forums have been saying to reset safari, but that was the whole problem. Safari won't even launch to get it in the toolbar to attempt that. I thought it was only a problem after i updated to OSX yosemite 10.10.2. Safari would not launch. I rolled back in my time machine and things were back to normal. Now today again, safari won't launch and the updates are still undone. I shouldn't have to time machine every other day to browse the internet. What's happening?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
If you find Apple's instructions too hard to follow, ask for an alternative that doesn't require you to trust a black-box application without knowing what it does.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Why won't they make iTunes for us Linux users?

There is a large community of Linux users. We have no ITunes nor anything that we can make purchases, upgrades, synch etc. Why won't Apple make iTunes available for ALL users. I keep an old desktop running Windows XP simply for iTunes. Is there a reason Linux users are ignored?

iTunes does not support Linux. However, Wine may allow you to run iTunes. But you may encounter errors and problems. http://www.winehq.org/

What do these applications have in common? Why won't they launch?
