X11 won't launch

Hello there. I'm trying to launch X11 to run things like Gimp and the like. When I double click on the X11 icon in the Utilities folder, the app looks like it launches (bounces int he dock) and then stops (disappears from the dock).
I trashed the com.x11.plist file.
Still does the same thing. I've used X11 in the past, back in OS 10.2, and I can see it in my /sw/fink/ folder, as well as in my Utilities Folder.
Any fixes anyone knows about?

If you have updated to 10.4 and are still using the same X11 version from 10.2 days then you need to install a later version of X11. that old version you have will not run under 10.3 much less 10.4
It should be included on your 10.4 retail disk. If not you will have to download it from Apple or another site.

X11 won't launch under 10.4.7

I have installed X11 from the Tiger install disk (optional installs). It won't launch. When I try to run it from the Terminal program, this is what is returned:

Any ideas to resolve this would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Tim,
Thanks for the suggestion. As it turns out, I did not install X11 from the original DVD set that came with my MacBook Pro, but rather from the Apple Store Tiger package. When I installed it from the DVD that came with my Mac, it worked. I appreciate your help!

Kernel panic, then x11.app won't launch.

I had a kernel panic a hour or two ago while doing a bunch of stuff (compiling pkgsrc bootstrap, running virtual pc, and surfing w/firefox), and now X11.app won't launch. The only error messages I can find are in the console log:
XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System

Any thoughts? This is right after a clean reboot, too...

Feh, of course right after posting this, I figured it out.
I had an ssh-agent socket hanging around, apparently that did it.

My X11 programs won't launch

I have two applications that run under X11: Xephem and Open Office.
About the time I upgraded to OS 10.5.4 I noticed that they wouldn't start. Today I looked at the discussion groups here and upgraded to X11 2.3.1. They still won't launch. Before they would just hang up without giving any error messages, but now when I try to start Xephem I get:
sh: line 0: cd: /usr/local/xephem: No such file or directory
sh: ../bin/xephem: No such file or directory
It sounds like X11 just needs to be pointed to the proper directory, but I don't know how to do that. I never did get the hang of working with the command line.
As for OpenOffice, I get this:
The application soffice.bin quit unexpectedly.
I don't know what to do about that.

Looks like the upgrade might have done something to those application installs. The error you're seeing is from a wrapper script that is used to start Xephem. This script is looking for the actual binaries in a directory located in /usr/local/xephem, which now doesn't seem to exist on your system anymore. Likely it's looking for the "bin" subdirectory in that directory, in which would be the actual application binaries.
In any event, this wrapper script can no longer find these directories. Before trying to do much manual digging to see what happened, I'd just try to reinstall Xephem. That should be a fairly safe thing to try...

X11 won't start

Ever since upgrading to Leper, X11 won't start. If I open the console window, the following is logged repetitively, which looks like an invalid start command that is followed by command line help. Anybody know what I can do to fix this?

I too am having this problem. People are all reporting different causes.
The cause might be solved by this solution at MacOSXHints.com
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080622105055862
They sugguest removing the -launchd boot option from your Xorg plist file. I did this and it did not fix the problem for me, I still get the Unrecognized option: -launchd. But other users have reported success, so it's worth a shot.
You might also look into what the guys in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1402209&tstart=205) did to try to solve launching problems.

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.

There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix

Photoshop CS6 won't launch and when it does it's really slow...help?

Hi,
So my copy of Photoshop CS6 sometimes won't launch and when it does manage to launch fully, it's really slow. I mean ridiculously slow. The only times when I can get it to run even remotely quick is if I shut down my computer, and then restart it and then start up Photoshop CS6 as the first program. Even then it slows down after a while. (And I only have a firefox browser open usually, never more than a couple of tabs at once, so it's not a bandwidth issue)
Here are my comp specs:
Samsung
Processor:
AMD A6-3420M APU with
Radeon (Tm) HD graphics 1.50 ghz
Installed Memory (RAM) - 4.00 (3.48 usable)
64 Bit operating System running on Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1
I also did just recently install the new update Adobe had for Photoshop, so that's up to date.
It's getting really frustrating! I have another program I'm using in the meantime (Paint tool Sai), but I'd really like to use Photoshop CS6.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you updated the drivers from AMD's website, not Microsoft.
Make sure you are running the 64 bit version of Photoshop, not 32 bit.
Disable all third party plugins, and try disabling system utilities (we've seen font managers, antivirus, disk backup software, etc. cause slowdowns due to bugs in those utilities).

Mail won't launch nor its settings save/ allow changes after 2.0

Anyone else have this ? Mail just won't launch ; opens to the main scroll screen, which stays blank, with the top and bottom bars showing – the bottom bar showing the refresh and write buttons – and then quits. Also, I cannot delete my MobileMe or GMail account, nor edit them.
Though with the MM account, if I try to delete it, it disables all of the push functions except mail. Things that I've been trying to do, like change whether the Trash folder autodeletes mail or not and the name of the account, don't save at all. The Trash delete frequency change stays in place as long as I'm in the Mail settings ; the name change doesn't hold at all.
In the second setting 'pane' in Settings – "Nouvelles Données" in French, so I guess "New Data" ? – down in Advanced, there are two MobileMe Push accounts listed. The first one saying it syncs calendars and contacts, and the second one mail... Yet I only have one MM account set up, or so says the uneditable Mail settings.
Nor can I (re)add my MM and GMail accounts. Trying to add a Yahoo account I never put on the also failed.
I've restarted my touch too.
Sounds like one of those things that when on a Mac, deleting a plist or fixing permissions would be suggested... I can't find a similar Settings-related problem anywhere on the internet either.
Reïnstall?

im having a mail problem too. i have a multiple yahoo mail accounts and every single one of them wont work. i keep getting this "the user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect." so i deleted my accounts and re-entered them. and the same message came up. i've re-typed the information many times throughout the day and it didnt work. i tried a different account and the same happened. then i tried my gmail account and that didnt work. yours sounds worse than mine, though. im not having mulitple languages. i hope you can figure it out = ]

CS3 Installer Won't Launch

OSX 10.5.5
Intel Quad Core Tower, 8GB Ram
Currently installed: CS3.3 Master Collection
I am trying to reinstall Acrobat 8 from my Master Collection 3 disc, and Setup won't launch. I've also tried Utilities:Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection, and it won't launch either.
I've tried the standard solutions: fix file permissions, install from admin account and new user account, uninstalled CS4 Beta applications. Nothing has helped.
Adobe technical support has been no help. I've been on the phone with them for two hours this morning.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

BRIAN, HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME, BUT I WAS USING WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, NOT A MAC SYSTEM. STILL MAYBE IT MAY BE OF HELP.
I had problems uninstalling and reinstalling my Adobe Master Collection CS3. The problem being that the installer would run and then disappear without initiating the uninstall/installation process.
Here are the simple combination of steps which worked for me.
1/ removing Adobe Master Collection CS3 by running add/remove programs
2/ running the Adobe CS3 clean script. I'm almost 100% certain I chose option 1 when running the script http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
3/ out of desperation and realising I had nothing to loose because I had an image of the fairly newly configured hard drive I was using, I deleted the Adobe "Installers" Folder located inside the Adobe folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
Steps 1 and 2 above did not solve my problem.
Step 3 did solve my problem. However, I do not know if step 1 and/or 2 were required for step 3 to work.
GOOD LUCK :-)
PS. Please let users of this site know if this solution has worked for you ...and if so, pass the solution on elsewhere too.

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

My steam won't launch ever since I updated to Yosemite I don't know what is going on.

Whenever I try to launch it, it says "Steam quit unexpectedly" I have tried redownloading it 5 times and have every software up to date. I also have tried
deleting all my steam files and it still doesn't work. Here is a screenshot:
I also downloaded a program called EtreCheck that checks for issues so here is what it found:

Also uninstall according to the developer's instructions.
I also would remove uTorrent. You can get adware/malware and other junk from a Torrent download.

I installed 3.6.12 and now get error message that says - Error: Platform version 1.9.2.12 is not compatible with miniversion = 1.9.2.10 maxversion = 1.9.2.19 and it won't launch unless outside of sandbox. I cannot navigate to yahoo. Please help.

I down loaded latest version and get error message when I launch it. Error message is entitled XUL Runner and says - Error: Platform version 1.9.2.12 is not compatible with miniversion >= 1.9.2.10 maxversion <= 1.9.2.19 and it won't launch. I can launch if I use Run Outside of Sandbox option, but I cannot navigate my home page on yahoo. What happened? Please send fix. Thanks, [email protected]

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

IPhoto 11 won't launch and crashes every time I try to rebuild the library. Urgh.

iPhoto 11 won't launch- it's another case of an infinite skinny wheel. I've tried rebuilding the library numerous times, each time it takes about a day and each time it crashes near the end. This is just ridiculous. Any tips folks?
APPLE if you can hear me... shouldn't you be testing this stuff prior to release? I know you do but I mean, like REALLY testing it? This is my second iPhoto upgrade disaster. The last time I lost my entire library, had to spend £80 on recovery software that recovered not only most of my photos, but every image cached on my machine. So then I had the fun of sorting through literally thousands of images...
And I only got the upgrade becasue my iPhone is refusing to sync, freezing on the iPhoto bit. Gah.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My apps won't launch & menu bar missing all top left icons!!!

A strange concurrence of multiple problems:
I am a pretty advanced user and have an iBook G4/1.33 GHz running Tiger 10.4.8, but I am having trouble with my PowerMac G4/500 MHz running 10.3.9 right now. I keep my PowerMac in Panther since it is almost 7 years old and I only have Tiger on my iBook disc.
Suddenly a few things started to happen at once yesterday:
1) NONE of the top right menu bar icons (OS 9 status, modem status, iChat, monitors, AirPort, Volume, clock, etc. show up upon log-in or restart.
2) Virtually NONE of my apps will launch from the Dock or the Finder. They bounce a few times then give up, with no error message.
I peformed successful repairs booting from both the OS X Panther disc and TechTool Deluxe. Although recommended, I can't create a TEST User because System Prefs won't launch, can't repair permissions from the problematic drive because Disk Utility won't launch, and I can't clear out caches because Cocktail won't launch.
I made sure the Application Support Folder in my Home Library had read/write permissions for me and applied to all enclosing folders as suggested. I tried trashing the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist preference in my Home Library also as suggested. However, it wouldn't allow me to remove the Launch Services file in the Caches folder of the main Library Folder as I also read here in the discussions.
Aside from successfully running disc repairs from the startup disc and TechTool, I tried repairing permissions from the startup CD as well (since couldn't launch any apps like Disk Utility from regular startup drive). Every time I try to repair in this manner though, after a minute it tells me "Disk Utility lost connection with Disk Managment" and I must quit and relaunch Disk Utility. However, same thing happens when I do, for both my drives running copies of OS X 10.3.9.
Only thing I can think of is to do an Archive/Reinstall of one of the two OS X systems on two different drives. But does anyone else have a clue what is causing this or what I need to try??? I read similar stories on here but nothing will all these symptoms at once.
I would REALLY appreciate some input, thanks!!!
PowerMac G4/500 MHz (1 GB); iBook G4/1.33 GHz (1.5 GB) Mac OS X (10.4.3) (still using 10.3.9 Panther on PowerMac)

Menu Bar Problems ..........
Check the following link for OS X troubleshooting steps. When doing so, following all steps in the order provided:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
1 If resetting permissions doesn't help, you may have a corrupt preference file... Delete....
Delete ~/Library/Caches (folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string
• Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
• Removing systemuiserver.plist will cause the right half of the menubar back
its original pristine default state.
2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
- Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Preferences" folder to the desktop.
- Restart and test your applications.
• If this does not work, move the "Preferece" folder back to ~/Library
• If this works, delete the old preferences folder. (You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them).
3. Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Fonts" folder to the desktop.
- Restart and test your applications.
- If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
( A likely suspect is Time RO, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
4. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
- Navigate to ~/Library.
- Get Info (Command + i) on the "Applications Support" folder.
- Open the "Ownership & permissions" flippy triangle.
- Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
- Click on "apply to all"
- If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
Note...The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
• Create a new User.... go to System Preferences/ Accounts and click on "+" at bottom left of window..... and test the apps in this new account if they work the problem is isolated to your User
(~ means your home directory)
