Excel For Mac 2016 Wont Open Keeps Bouncing

OS X:: Icon Keeps Bouncing - App Not Launching Jun 10, 2010 So my IMac running 10.6.3 has developed a bit of a problem. When a launch certain apps, the icon just bounces and the app never launches. I end up having to force quite and restart to get the app to work. Other apps freeze up (sarfari and chrome) and I have force quit and restart.

Then there is VLC which launches plays media then freezes. All of these are solved by restarts. Seems if i let the machine fall asleep, then all these bugs resurface.

Mac os for vmware player. 'Document can't be opened for some reason' is a screen you may get on your Mac especially when transferring files from an older computer to a newer computer.

My first solution was to create a new user and delete the old one as my 'backup' username seemed to work fine. This did indeed solve many of my problems but now different apps have developed bugs. Should I just reinstall the OS?

Ive already tried to reinstall and also renew disk permissions. Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3) Jun 2, 2009 I updated my MBP last night (6/1/09) with the latest updates, including the one for garageband. Soon after the update, comcast was out for the evening.so no online connection for the rest of the night. After the connection was lost, I tried opening up garageband and all I got was a bouncning garageband icon on my dock. I looked at the error report created and it did mention something about my airport base station. So I was hoping the application not opening was a result of my lost connection.

I am not home now to try again. I just wasn't aware that you needed to be online to start GB or is it the fact that it was the 1st time since the update that I opened it? Jun 9, 2010 I'm not an expert on OS X, however recently I've been trying to spend more time with the system to learn and possibly switch from W7.

The weirdest thing happened last night. I'm was trying to uninstall istat 3.0 from my system and it froze( the beach ball ). After force quiting it, i tried to start Word but the icon would only keep on bouncing and stop after a minute. No error message no nothing. I was sure it's an issue with Office itself, but no other software is starting. Mental Case, UnrarX, Excel, even Ponyvid, just bounce their icon around for 30-40 seconds and wont start. The only software that works are Apple's own Safari, Mail, Calendar, iPhoto and iTunes.

They start normally with no fuss. I tried restarting and even creating another user account, and it didn't help. Is it possible that istat 3.0 blew something in the system? If so, what can it be? Anybody had this kind of situation before?

Any fix on hand? What should I do next? Jun 15, 2012 Having issues with removing the Handbrake icon from the dock? I've tried dragging it to the desktop space to remove, but it keeps bouncing back.

Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4) Feb 12, 2012 I am using mac book pro with OS X 10.7.2 and safari is also the latest one, but safari bounces and does not open and keep bouncing kindly let me know how to fix this without formatting computer. Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2) Sep 30, 2010 In System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Shortcuts (Mail.app) I have set up ⌘+Enter to send mail.

It works great.until I use certain Mail commands. For example, if I use Shift+⌘+H to view the full headers of a message, the next time I try to use ⌘+Enter to send a mail it doesn't work. I have to quit Mail and then when I restart ⌘+Enter works again. Same thing happens if I use Shift+⌘+B to bounce a message.

I can duplicate this every time so it's not an intermittent bug. It's a minor annoyance, but I wonder if anyone else can confirm it happens to rule out that it's something specific to my Mac. I'm on OS X 10.6.4. Sep 7, 2009 I have a problem with my MacBook with applications 'bouncing' in the dock and not opening. I took the macbook into the genius store and they said it wasn't a permissions issue they thought it was some 3rd party programme I have loaded. I have loaded Snow Leopard onto both my iMac and Macbook, the same apps work fine on the iMac but on my MacBook i am having to reinstall nearly all my apps to get them to work.The problem started a few weeks ago with leopard and I was hoping that with Snow Leopard it would sort it but as I used Time Machine to import all my data after upgrading I seem to have brought the problem into Snow Leopard. The only thing I have done around the time this started happening that I can think of is that I downloaded one of those programmes that help free up space on the mac by deleting all unnecessary languages (I just need British English).
