Updated OSx and now no application open - "might be damaged or incomplete."

From one day to the next, I update my OSx to 10.11.4 and now all my apps give me a "cannot open the application"XYZ"because it may be damaged or incomplete" error message.  Once I have try an app's icon in the dock the generic white paper with a pencil, brush and the leader.  Not good.  I feel that it's maybe a permission thing, but any help on getting my business back would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Brodgers,

It is possible that you have moved applications from their default locations before the update to El Capitan.

If this is the case, go to your Applications folder and try to open it from that location.

You can then delete the old links from the dock and replace them with the current versions.

  • downloaded the new update 10 and now the 'notes' farm as soon as it opens

    This morning I downloaded the new update and now when I try to open the "notes" application, it closes as soon as I open it.  How can I solve this problem.  Thank you

    Hi xostats,

    I understand that after updating to iOS 10, you cannot open the Notes without the app crashing immediately. I know it's important to have all your apps working properly, so I'm happy to help you.

    First of all, connect to iCloud.com and make sure your notes are always present.

    If they are, we will proceed to the activation/deactivation of your Notes and turn it back on. To make this opening settings > iCloud. Here, turn off the Notes and questioned, you can remove them from your iPhone, because they are in iCloud. A time off, go ahead and turn it back on, and then test your Notes application.

    If you continue to have problems, then check the troubleshooting provided here:

  • I was propted to update Itunes. The update failed, and now I can not open I tunes

    I tunes has prompted me to upgrade to a new version. The update failed. Now I can't open I tunes.

    General advice for troubleshooting when iTunes is unable to properly install (and reinstall or repair it does not) are to remove not only iTunes, but all the components, restart, remove the target installation files and reinstall.  See the following troubleshooting guide excellent by turingtest2:

  • Renamed .exe incorrectly and now nothing is open!

    Hello

    I have windows xp and was being removed from xp antivirus 2012 virus according to the following instructions (http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2011/06/remove-xp-antispyware-2012-xp-internet.html). I managed to stop pop ups of this virus, and then proceeded to try to remove the virus altogether and I badly renamed the evil .exe file in my C:\Documents and Settings\ [UserName] Settings\Application Data\ file. 

    Now, my internet, "add or remove programs" etc files and functions are not open! I get the pop up 'open with' and it equipped with internet explore etc than the recommended program with that I should open. However, when I select the internet Explorer, I wonder to download iexplore.exe app. I run, but nothing happens except the 'open with' pop up comes back to the top.  I checked in my search folders, and it seems that I already file iexplore.
    The .exe file in the application data folder is actually an icon/image of a computer and description (under properties) tells internet development tools explore and the file type is application.  Huge problem is that I don't even remember what we called the .exe file until I renamed it! Once I changed the name, everything went wrong.
    Can someone please help me either rename this .exe in its default name, or provide a way to restore the settings of this app? Because I can't access the internet, I can't run the Doug knox restore zip file or copy all the text in Notepad without the risk of hurt.
    Help, please!
    Thank you.

    Hi Julie

    Your issue is not with the file that you renamed. Your question is malicious software that changed your file association for executable files. In fact, it seems that your computer may still be infected.

    Right-click on Internet Explorer and select run as administrator. You should be able to access the internet in this way. If you still cannot access the internet after you choose to run IE as Admin, then you will need download these files using another computer, then transfer the files on the infected using a usb flash drive or cd drive computer.

    Download XpFixExe.reg from HERE. Right-click on it and choose "merge". Confirm the prompt. You should now be able to open executable files. Then, download MS Fixit and run it to reset your internet proxy settings. Once you have run these files download Malwarebytes. Be sure to update the scanner once it has been installed and perform a quick scan with it. Remove any detected object.
