My TextEdit will not open after OS X Maverick install

My suggestion is just don't. That's it hahaha don't use them. No need

So, it's because of clean my mac app?

I freaked out before because most of my apps crashed..0_0

thanks so much for your help!

I have the same problem for all my apps that came with my MAC... I did what pmcnano, and I do thank you but all my other apps dont work, the apple store, messaging preview grab those are the ones I use most daily can you help me too, how do I find the others to fix these.. I am so confused and worried I see you have links above but am unsure what I should do...

In page number 1 scroll down I linked the files ffor, I think, all the apps. If you are missing any let me know

thank you pmcnano, I got them all to work that you posted except for Ibooks, it keeps crashing and I dont see Grab listed... I thought I had another one that cashes but now dont see it..

other things like stickies wont open but guess I dont need that... do you have Grab and not sure why Ibook kept crashing after I dropped that folder in... I really do apprecate your kindness and sharing.. I have searched and this was the second posting and then found this thread... should we or I save your listing since I have no way of knowing where you got those life savers...smile...

Rain, I got them from my clean install. I am away from my computer at the moment but I'll try to get you the file.

About iBooks, I wouldn't know, try to check the console to see the error for the crash.

This worked! Does anyone know where I can find the Base.lproj file for Image Capture?

in case these haven't been mentioned already, there are actually several more I've discovered to be missing this file!

Chess

Stickies

Font Book

Dictionary

Messages

Reminders

yes me too Munkondi but I just didnt want to overwhelm pmcnano... all I really care about right now is my IMessinging and Grab oh good point up there my image capture isnt working either...

Hey PMCNANO!

Thank you so much for helping all of us out; I was about to do a clean re-install from backup 🙂

I went through all of my Apple apps and discovered the following aren't working:

- iBooks (even with your folder)

- Keynote (new version)

- Pages (new version)

- Numbers (new version)

- Photo Booth

- Grab

I'll update the list if I come across more, the iWork suite would be important, the others aren't - you already saved my butt though, thank you again!

I do want to thank pmcnano again, I was so scard to the point of being frantic thats not good for a person that obsesses on things that keep me awake...

I still couldnt get Ibooks to work on the Mac but it works on my ipad and thats all I care about .. I dont think I have ever used it on the Mac the most important thing for me was opening the apple store and terminal...Grab too but I went and downloaded another one I think I like better for only to capture the screen and it saves in jpeg I dont have to take into a programe to change it.. so for what I ever use it for is cool its called screen grabber so simple a baby could do it...

@ratedK mh, for the ilife apps, I think just delete em and download them from the appstore again.

Here are grab and photobooth, though, I still suggest to just do a repair install (reinstall over your current instalation without erasing anything). Too many apps broken and maybe you didnt find some other. Also, you can just do it before going to sleep. Start the installer, go to sleep and voila! when you wake up everything is fine again.

Cheers!

Hey bud

Thank you so much (again); I believe you're right, my best bet at this point would be to re-install Mavericks.

One last question though: how do I perform a repair install? I know how to do a clean re-install but I have never heard of a repair install before.

Again, thank you so much for your time and effort.

All the best :)
