I am unable to open ay applications...
I had the machine turned off for 5 days...as I was traveling on business.
Upon my return I started up the machine...and now am unable to open anything.
Please advise ways that I can dump preferences..or get the applications open again.
Thanks..

Try restarting your Mac in Safe mode:
- Shut down your Mac
- Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the Power button
- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key
- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign
- Once you see Desktop, start a Disk Utility scan to detect and repair file system errors (don't forget to choose your main hard drive)
- Click on Verify Disk and then, if asked to fix problems, on Repair Disk
- After this, click on Verify Disk Permissions and then on Repair Disk Permissions
- After the process is finished, shut down your Mac and turn it back on after about 30 seconds
Thank you very much.
