My macbook was working fine up until this morning. Today, I am unable to open most application (skype,
iphoto, itunes, office etc).

For example, I see following error message when I try to open iPhoto.

First try a Permissions repair from Disk Utility, booted from Safe Boot. Shift at the startup chime. Will need much longer to boot than normal.

Try applying or reapplying the 10.6.8 Combo Update.

What backup if any do you have?

If all else fails, you may need to do a reinstall of Snow Leopard from the disc that came with the Mac or the one you used to upgrade, if that's what you did. This will give you new system files as of the version you use (you are missing one, or it is apparently corrupted.) Then run the Combo update again, preferably booted from Safe Boot (Shift at the startup chime.) Keep updating according to what is needed from Software Update and finally run Permissions repair booted normally. Reinstall Rosetta when prompted, if you try to open an older PPC app

Reinstalling will preserve all your current third party programs.
