Ward Oldham, MacDude MacTown 1041 Bardstown Road Louisville, KY 40204 502-485-1243 ward at mactown.us http://www.mactown.us From: Dan Crutcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Date: 16 Apr 2004 14:21:54 -0400 To: <macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> Subject: MacGroup: Problem with Apple apps Of a sudden, many of my Apple applications won't launch -- or rather they _seem_ to launch (they show up in the dock with the black triangle next to them) -- but they never appear on screen. Apps that are doing this are: Mail, Address Book, iCal, Safari, all of my System Preferences. Trying to launch some of these gives me the eternal spinning beach ball, with the only way out being force-quitting that particular program. Am using 10.3.3. Have tried: 1. Rebooting, including Safe Booting 2. Running MacJanitor (successful) 3. Rebuilding directory with Disk Warrior (successful) Have not tried: 1. Throwing away system preference files, as I'm not sure which ones to get rid of and where they would all be. 2. Reinstalling OS X 3. Throwing computer through window. Any advice?
