First of all, apologies if I've put this question in the wrong place or failed to locate the same question asked and answered elsewhere. I'm at wit's end here and need a point in the right direction from the panel of experts here assembled.
I switched to a MacBook about a year ago (a little over, since my warranties are expired). I'm running a unibody aluminum 13" MacBook (since rebranded as a MacBook Pro) with OS X v10.5.8. A little while ago I ran Software Update, and now half the apps on my laptop won't work.
I've identified that the following applications aren't working:
I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I had run the Acrobat update utility around the same time as the Mac software update utility. (I heard other MacBook owners having trouble with the Acrobat updater as well, though they appeared to be experiencing different issues.)
I looked all over the Apple support site and through their forums for an answer as well, but keep on running into brick walls. Can anyone offer some advice? It'd be most appreciated.
