i click on the apps from either the folder or the dock and all they do is bounce once on the Dock and thats it. So i went innto the package contents from both, searched throughout till i found in the MacOS folders within the applications that if i clicked on the executable it'll open up Terminal and then it tells me this

Did you install these programs on this computer?
Or were they copied over as applications etc from another computer or hd?
It looks they are missing a lot of bits and pieces within the applications and the frameworks. :-/
 
i installed them on this machine. and yes they are missing lots of files which is freaking me out cuz how in the heck did this even happen in the first place, ya know?
 
Hm.. would you happen to have done any recent upgrades for the system or those applications?
Or any delocalization or other hacks for the system?
It's odd the pieces are missing. I might try to reinstall those applications as at least that should put hte missing pieces in place.
 
the last updates i did were the most recent security and os x updates... thats pretty much it. I also tried reinstalling them 4 times. Two of the reinstalls consisted of just standard open up the install and do it, the last two consisted of taking out every file that was associated with those apps and then reinstalling... needless to say it still didnt work :/ I really dont want to reinstall OS X but i think that may be my last option... if that'll even work.
 
Hm...
Those parts appear missing. I would try repairing permissions with Disk Utility before doing any system reinstalls though. Maybe it could find them or just repair whatever is wrong there.
So before these security updates they worked fine? When you had the updates running and be installed, were any applications running?
 
i always am good with closing apps before installing updates so i'm almost positive i had everything closed and i gave the permissions a shot, even a disk repair, and nothing came out of it that i can see.

These apps worked fine before these last updates i know that for a fact and whether it was because of the updates that caused this i dont know but what we do know is that they dont work now! lol
 
Hm. That's odd .. would love to find out what caused it.
I guess time for reinstall of those apps then.
 
i've i dunno what else to do. should i call apple or something? i've reinstalled them and still nothing. thank you for the help :)
