Bouncing icons of new applications

Hi,

every time a copy a .app file to the Applications folder, and then I click to open it, the icon stays bouncing forever in my dock. If I click again on it, it just disappears. It happened to me with Bodega or Skydrive, and I can't solve it. Any help?


Thank you

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Found it.....🙂


OK, here's the trick: ONLY use the Mac's built-in Archive Utility to unzip the Skydrive package. Using either iUnarchive or The Unarchiver resulted in an .app bundle that looked OK, but must have been deficient in some way. Weird, The Unarchiver is usually stone reliable. Hope this helps somebody out there.


It now works for me
