You can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete
Hi guys, I desperately need help for this problem, I have work and school with submissions due and all of a sudden when I restarted my laptop (because it was lagging and my powerpoint was blank), my google chrome was gone and replaced by a question mark.
When I tried to open it, this message: "You can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete." appears. I restarted my laptop again and my freaking Safari disappeared. Many of my applications are gone now and I can't open many files including the Terminal app.
I have browsed thru some of the workable solutions online but they didn't work for me.
What I've tried:
- /var/folders --> this didn't work for me bc I only had the zz file and no others
- Logging in to my guest account and opening Terminal to try to access the problem account and delete some files. --> this didn't work as well as I somehow can't log into the problem account after typing in the password. The message just keeps displaying "Sorry"
I have heaps of work due soon and I'm so so desperate to get this fixed. Can some kind soul please help me if you have a clue on how to solve this issue?
