Apps crashing

[jsobeck]

I'm using 10.4.5 (myzar) and every time I open some applications, they either bounce in the dock and do nothing, or they run for about 30 seconds and crash. So far, this has happened with:

 

- Cyberduck (FTP) (Latest version)

- Azureus (Latest version)

Note: They are both universal binaries, so Rosetta/PPC isn't an issue.

 

Has anyone else had something like this happen? Or better yet, does anyone know how to fix this?

The dock crashes every so often for me. Havent noticed anything else though.

I have the same problem. I tried some applucations (universal binaries) - e.g. azureus or firefox. If I install the dmg I have not the permissions to copy the application from the desktop to a folder. Ok, I can do this in a terminal with sudo-L. But after copying it to my applications folder nothing happens. If I doubleklick the icon it bounces and then nothing happens.... waht can I do?

I'm using an intel laptop and everything else works fine (no problems with iworks or office:mac)

thanks a lot....

With the file on your desktop it's pretty easy.

 

Run terminal and do:

cd ~/Desktop

ls; # to get the exact name

su; # root must be enabled, if not see below.

# enter root password when prompted

# if the name has a space in it prepend each space with a \

# ex: "My Game.app" would be My\ Game.app

tar cfp - NAME_TO_MOVE | (cd /Applications/ && tar xfp -)

exit

exit

 

Quit Terminal

 

 

 

If root is not yet enabled run terminal and do the following first: (requires the password to be entered 3 times)

 

passwd root

# enter your password when prompted

# enter it again (to enable root password)

# enter it again (to verify root password)

su; # test it

# enter password when prompted

exit

exit

 

Quit Terminal

I had the same problem with final cut pro 5.1, even though yes it is universal for some reason it did not play nicely, go into Get Info and try checking the () Open app with rosetta
