Why some of my programs will not open after the update to yosemite

Hello
I updated my Macbook Pro to Yosemite. After my upgrade some of my programs do not open, Such as Wireshark. I'm a fairly new user of pc to mac. I know in windows you can go in to the system logs to see what is going on. Does Mac have a similar feature or has anyone experience this issue as well? The same issue happen with Parallels and I reinstalled the program and it worked again. but this one is not working.

Which version of OS X did you upgrade from? Some apps may not be compatible with Yosemite: see Roaring Apps > http://roaringapps.com.
For information on Wireshark and Yosemite, see -> https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/35986/not-able-to-launch-wireshark-on-yosemi te.
Parallels 9 was not working for me, and I had decided to upgrade to 10 when it was released. You can work-around Parallels 9 not working, but version 10 is best for Yosemite.
Good luck,
Clinton

    Yes.  See this very forum for 50 threads on it, that explain the solution.

  • HT201541 Final Cut 10.0.8 about 18 months will not open since I updated to Yosemite.

    I purchased Final Cut 10.0.8 about 18 months ago but now it will not open --- since I updated to Yosemite.  How do I update Final Cut so I can use it again?

    You download the update from the App Store using the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
    You should read up about the newer versions before you update as the application has changed substantially since then.

  • PDF e-mail attachment will not open after FF update

    FF 31 and/or 32
    Outlook or GroupWise fat client
    PDF attachments
    After FF updated PDF's were re-associated with FF not the installed PDF program. Used Windows to re associate PDF's to PDF program. No problem, all PDF's open in PDF program UNLESS the PDF is an attachment in an e-mail.
    Open e-mail fat client (doesn't matter the client) try and open the PDF and user gets message stating there is no program associated with attachment. Yet, all PDF's still open with correct PDF program as long as they are not in the e-mail. Now here's the really weird part.....
    If there are two or more PDF's attachments in the same e-mail the first one will not open but the second, thirds, etc attached PDF's will open with the correct PDF program.
    The only temporary solution I have found is to uninstall FF, re-install it and for a 1/2 day the issue goes away. I have not figured out the trigger that resets the issue.
    FF is my go-to browser, but since v 31 this has been happening and if it keeps up, I'm switching to Chrome.
    Come on Tech Support, help us out with this issue.

    Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
    When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
    However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that resolve the issue for you?

  • Safari and Mail will not open after software update

    After doing the monthly software update yesterday, my Mail and Safari programs will not open. I click on the icon in the dock or in the Applications folder and I get nothing. The icon in the dock jumps, but nothing opens. I've read several other discussions and tried dragging several files out of the library, such as plist files and history, etc., but they still won't open. The software update only updated iTunes and iPhoto and included the most recent security update. I have not tried to reload Safari. If I do that (and it works), what do I need to do for Mail? Will I lose all my emails? Can someone tell me what I can do to get both programs back working properly? Thanks!

    Another approach is to reapply the 10.3.9 combined update. "Repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    As far as your e-mail's are concerned, the database files are maintained in your User account>Library>Mail folder. It's very important you backup this folder periodically to external media regardless of circumstances to preclude losing your e-mails in the event of file corruption.
    Best maintenance strategy is a full backup of your HD on a bootable external (firewire) hard drive. Makes life a lot easier in the event you need to revert your HD to its state prior to an System Update gone bad.

  • InDesign CS3 will not open after installing updates

    Hello,
    I am having a problem printing borderless with InDesign CS3. When my paper size is set on borderless my photos print very light. If Iremove the borderless setting the photos print fine.
    In a effort to correct this problem I downloaded  and installed updates for InDesign CS3 now InDesign will not open.

    5.0.3 should not have installed after 5.0.4 (that's a problem with the installer), and it may have added problems. First things to try, though, before we get down to uninstalling and reinstalling again, are trashing the prefs (Replace Your Preferences), trying a new user account, and starting with extensions disabled (hold down the Shift key when you boot).
    If it comes to reinstalling again, you should probably also run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) before reinstalling, and make sure you have the correct update which you can download again from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4029

  • Adobe Reader 1.5LE will not open after Firmware Update

    Is anyone aware of a solution to this problem? I updated my N95 to the most recent version and found the Nokia Reader software to be unusable (the application itself will not even open). Is there a link from which the software may be downloaded and re-installed? A search of Google, Nokia and Adobe has proven fruitless. Any help would be much appreciated.

    i guess problem caused of a 3rd party application you installed to your phone. If it goes fine with hard reset you shall be carefull when you install new applications to your phone.

  • Firefox will not open after recent update of all computer lab servers, Windows server 2008 R2, Multipoint 2011

    All 3 computer lab servers were recently updated and rebooted. Java was updated as well to 7u21. Now all 3 do not respond when Firefox icon is clicked, from any thin-client or remote desktop session/user. There is no popup error, just an hour-glass for about 5 seconds and then nada. IE is fine. I can't tell if it was the java update or a windows security update, and I'm not seeing anything in the error logs

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • ITunes 8 will not open after installing update on iBook G4

    I installed an iTunes update that included v.8 and an updated version of Quicktime. Now I can open Quicktime on its own, but cannot open iTunes at all! The icon on my toolbar bounces but does not open. After about a minute, I get a msg. that says "the application iTunes unexpectedly quit." But it never opens in the first place! Please help. I would like to uninstall and go back to the old version of iTunes. Do I have to delete my song library to do so? I am not that savvy a computer user, so please respond accordingly... thanks!

    Same problem on my intel MacBookPro. Happened to me after doing the ilife08 upgrade a few minutes ago. Downloaded from apple again and did the upgrade option. That seems to have done the trick.

  • Programs will not open. The button in the lower left corner of the screen continuously blinks.

    Whenever I open Firefox on my other laptop I cannot get into any programs. The icon in the lower left corner of the screen that lets you know when a program has completed loading just blinks constantly.

    Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
    Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

  • Firefox will not open after new update; Error: Platform version '1.9.2.13' is not compatible

    After accepting the new update I got this error message when trying to restart Firefox:
    XULRunner
    Error: Platform version ‘1.9.2.13’ is not compatible with
    minVersion >= 1.9.2.14
    maxVersion <= 1.9.2.14
    I have tried:
    - Opening in Safe Mode; same error
    - Uninstalling, deleting remaining info in C>ProgramFiles>MozillaFirefox folder, and reinstalling.
    - Updating Avast antivirus in case that was interfering.
    Now when I try to start Firefox I get this message;
    Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
    But there is nothing happening in the Windows Task Manager. Please, somebody save me from Windows Internet Explorer!!

    I experienced this error updating from Firefox 3.6.13 to 3.6.14 and resolved it by doing a 'clean' install' as described. It occurred again in updating from 3.6.14 to 3.6.15 and this time a clean install failed to rectify it. (Anyway, I don't want to have to go through this every time.)
    Work-around: Shut down Firefox. Edit application.ini (typically "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\application.ini")
    [Gecko]
    MinVersion=1.9.2.15
    Change to 1.9.2.13
    Save. Start Firefox. Dirty? Yes. Works? Yes.
    (Gecko is the forerunner or XULrunner)

  • Iphoto & Preview will not open after software update

    I did a software update on my macbook pro yesterday, and cannot open iPhoto or review.
    I am running on OSX 10.7.2 and the iPhoto is '11 9.2.1 Preview is 5.5.1
    When i open either app nothing comes up, only the bar at the top of the screen changes to whatever app it is, but all the options in 'file, edit etc' cannot be clicked on.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
