Applications crash when saving, opening, printing...

I am having a lot of trouble using Quark 7.3 on my Mac. When working from the server I open a file, work on it for a while, apple-S to save and it crashes - not saving where I'm up to. This happens with several files, some older than others which worked fine last week and some created today. Also happens when I go to print the file. Has also happened a few times when I open a file and put the cursor where I want to type and it crashes.
Sometimes a Quark file I open does not have the images brought in (grey box with error text in its place) and the text is jargon, extra spaces, words missing, etc.
Here is a small part of one of the bug reports:
Command: QuarkXPress
Path: /Applications/QuarkXPress 7.3/QuarkXPress.app/Contents/MacOS/QuarkXPress
Parent: WindowServer [62]
Version: 7.3.0 (7.3.0)
PID: 238
Thread: 0
Exception: EXCBADINSTRUCTION (0x0002)
Code[0]: 0x00000002
Code[1]: 0x04540004
Thread 0 Crashed:
0 Xerces-c-xc 0x04540004 fgUniCharsTable + 46896
1 com.quark.QuarkXPress 0x00199ce0 OEContent::DetachStory(unsigned char) + 212
This problem also occurs with Adobe Acrobat, when I arrow through the pdf document and it crashes - old and new documents.
Also, I have tried pulling the Quark document from the server and onto my Desktop and working on it from there - the problem still occurs and crashes. Have submitted reports to Quark & Apple with no response.
My mac/work is suffering the most, although my colleagues are also having similar crashing problems on occasion.
I am wasting a huge amount of time having to redo work. How can I rectify this problem? Is it memory? The server? Dodgy fonts/files? Please HELP!
Server holds approx 950GB, but has 70GB space.
My HD holds 76GB, and has 15GB space.

Your server is using more than 90% of its drive capacity, which can in itself, cause all kinds of problems. You might want to run Preferential Treatment to see if you have any corruption there, but your best solution will likely come from Quark.

My printer setting box has changed and photoshop keeps crashing when I open printer settings

My CS6 keeps crashing when I open printer settings, and the printer setting dialog window has changed

Possibly corrupt preferences.
Hold down Ctrl-alt-shift keys and start Photoshop. A dialog offering to delete the settings should appear. Answer "Yes".
cmd-alt-shift if that's a Mac.

Illustrator CS6 crashes when saving or printing

A couple weeks ago, my AI CS6 started crashing when saving complex line work (Rhino Make2D exports) or when I tried to check the printer setting. I've reinstalled AI and installed the latest updates. For a few days, the saving problem went away but it has returned today. I have cleared the preferences folder.
I am running Windows 7.
Is this a Rhino/AutoCAD export issue? The saving problem persists even when I copied a small section of the linework to a fresh AI document. Simple vectors don't lead to saving problems. Thanks!

You need to provide system information or else this is no use to anyone...

Applications crashes when trying to print

A number of applications such as iwork,PDF, etc. crashes when trying to print, I can print test pages and use other printer utilities functions on my HP 970 CXI.
Creating new printer queue had no effect can any one suggest a solution. Thanks
Imac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

DariusT,
This may sound elementary but I turn off all print spoolers - print monitoring, background printing, etc. - as the very first test. This eliminates a whole class of issues, including some memory related questions.
The version of the operating system can also be a factor. If you turn off the printer, delete laserwriter 8 preferences, turn on the printer, select the printer in chooser and try printing again you may solve some problems.
You posted your question in the old folks home. Are you using an old computer? An iBook G4 processor is as new as a Mac Mini so I am assuming that this is a question that predates OS X. If this is an OS X printing problem, we need to shift mental gears or you may want to post your query again in a more modern forum. Post back will more details and we will try and help out.

Sometimes info is saved, sometimes it is not. If I have multiple projects open, and make changes on them, not all the changes are 'saved' but if I only have one project open, the changes are saved.
This did not start happening until last week. Only thing different I did was put in some bookmarks on one page, I have since deleted those and i still have the issue.
I inherited the Robohelp project and don't know much about the backbones of Robohelp. I mostly make text edits.
Things I've tried:
--Restarted the computer (this usually fixes things)
--Shut down computer (usually fixes things if the restart doesn't)
--Ran Updates (it failed (encountered a problem)on a CS4 update--Adobe update for Flash CS4Pro 10.0.2)
--checked for broken links, said I had none.
--Tools/reports/unused files--there are a couple of unused projects, but I can't find them (looks like they have been deleted)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The actual solution will make my week much easier!
Thanks!

Welcome to our community
Where is your project when you open it? Are you by chance opening RoboHelp, then navigating to a network location to open the project?
If so, try moving the project to your local C drive.

Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when saving/opening file

Hello,
Since a day or two my PSE 8 crashes when i want to save or open a file.
It just closes without a crash reporter.
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Regards,
Djmaster329

I am using a macbook pro running OS version 10.9. My version of Adobe Elements 8 came free with my purchase of a Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet.
I have the exact same problem.
- Creating a new blank image and saving it causes a crash. However, saving an existing image does not.
- Using the (File > Open), (File > Save) and (File > Save as) menu options causes a crash.
- Using the File > Save for web causes a crash as soon as I confirm.
So, I create a new blank image in Gimp with the dimensions that I want, export it as a .psd file, and open it by right clicking the blank .psd and selecting (Open with: Adobe Photoshop Elements 8). At this point, (File > Save) and (Command-S) save the image without causing crashes.
However, it's anoying that I have to use two programs to make one image. PSE 8 synergises well with my drawing tablet, but Gimp can create new images. It's really frustrating.
I think I reset my PSE preferences properly, but I'm not sure. Is there supposed to be a dialogue box confirming that my preferences have been reset? I'm not seeing one.
I'd really appreciate some help regarding this issue. Perhaps I should submit a ticket to Adobe support. Can I do that? I'm new here.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this long post.

Applications crashing when saving

Apps such as graphic converter, appleworks, msn, virex, all microsoft office applications and itunes all crash when trying to save something. msn crashes when changing my display picture, or sending a file to anyone. but the other ones just crash when i save. i noticed it with appleworks first, as i created a photo. so i just took a screen shot of it. but then converting the file to JPEG via graphic converter when clicking save, it crashes and says unexpectically quit! i finally got the picture to save by using preview. so i got the picture as a jpeg but now i cant send it on msn or set it as my display picture as it also crashes. i did a virus scan, then saved it but it CRASHED. iTunes crashes when exporting library information. i have only noticed it with these applications, im hoping that it doent effect imovie HD, as i use it a lot. Can anyone help me. i think this problem could be from a recent update. i also did a disk utility and it says the volume MacintoshHD needs to be repaired. should i backup my HD and re-install or is there a easier way?

Hi Julian,
Yes, you should always have a backup, so backup now.
i also did a disk utility and it says the volume MacintoshHD needs to be repaired.Did you run "Repair Disk" from your install disk or another volume and it could not repair after several passes, or did you "Verify Disk" from your OS X volume? If you have not run repair disk you should do that:
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear..
2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.

Applications crash when trying to print?

I recently had to restore my Macbook pro (Mid2010) from a time machine backup because of a weird mouse bug that came from out of nowhere (restoring it fixed the mouse bug so I am assuming that it was some corrupted file). Since I restored it, I have not been able to print anything. Every time start my comp up, I get this message:
When I click install, it beging the normal instalation sequence but then this message comes up:
Once i hit ok, the window closes.
Whenever I try to print, the application I was trying to print from freezes and no print options window comes up. The more unsettling part of all this is that system preferences also freezes up when I try to look at the "printers & scanners" section so I can't even try and reinstali any drivers or even look at what might be the problem. I have updated all my my software, repaired my disk (disk utility in recovery mode), repaired disk permissions (disk utility), and tried installing my printer (HP Photosmart C4780) driver software directly from the developer. None of these have helped.
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Software Update was unavilable a couple of days back for about 24 hours but is back now. Have you tried adding the printer again recently?

Applications crashing when trying to print

I have two multi function printers which are;
(1) Canon Pixma MP600 (9 months old) and (2) Epson Stylus Photo RX510. (only 3 years old)
Each time I try to print from various applications they crash and I get the usual "the application quit unexpectedly............." I have tried connecting into my computers directly via usb cables but still no success. The reports always show something along the lines that the Exception Type is
either "EXEBADACCESS (SIGSEGV) or (SIGBUS)
followed by Exception Codes KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000038 or
KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x0000000000015a91000 or something similar.
I have searched for the updated drivers and have spoken to Epson all to no avail. I will speak to Canon tomorrow.
Does any one have an idea of what is causing these failures please? or can offer advise.

Hi John,
I have now been able to get both my printers up and working by obtaining the latest
driver from Canon. The pop-up I kept getting said " The problem may have been caused by the
BJPDELocalizedString plug-in"
As soon as I installed mp600osxpd583ej7.dmg this printer driver, all came good.
Having two computers I may have missed installing the updated on my MBpro.
I have tried to post the crash log using text editor, but i'm not sure it will come thru

Crash when saving photo when contact edit screen open - anyone else?

On two separate iPhones I have experienced a crash when saving a photo taken from "inside" the contacts edit screen. In both cases the photo app would capture the image and attempt to save. The screen goes black for about 5 seconds then returns to the home screen. The photo is not in the camera roll and the image container on the contact editor screen is empty.
iPhone G3, 16GB, v2.2 <--both phones tested
Sequence: Open Contacts, locate existing entry, tap "edit", tap "add photo", tap "take photo", shoot picture, tap "set photo", system shows "saving photo" pinwheel, then screen goes black.
Doesn't happen every time. One instance corrupted the mail application and applied a false name in the "from" field for many of my emails. Remedy: Reload v2.2 software and restore from backup.
Anyone else see this behavior?

I have had this same problem. As best I can recall, I have the problem every time. I've certainly updated software, reset software and reinstalled 2.2 for my phone, for other reasons. And, I've gotten another friend to duplicate the problem. My workaround is to save the contact info and then take the picture from the camera and then reopen and edit the contact and add the picture. It's just that, sometimes, I make a leap of faith and try to take a save a picture from within the contacts. It's a teeny, minor embarassment when I then have to ask a person for their info again, as the contact crashes before it's been saved.
Mostly, I'd enjoy the elegance of being able to add contacts and their photo at the same time. I know that's what is intended by Apple.
I don't intend to newly install 2.2 software, etc. with my iPhone to try and solve this problem. Just seems like a waste of time at the moment. I just want to state that it's a problem and it would be meaningful for Apple to correct this in 3.0
Life with the iPhone hasn't been perfect, but it has been awesome!

Since upgrading to mavericks my applications crash when i try to use the print dialogue

since upgrading to mavericks my applications crash when i try to use the print dialogue

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

Every application crashes when i try to print from it!

Hello everyone, i have an HP 1012 laserjet and it was working perfectly fine until i installed all the updates for the ILife and everything else that came out earlier this week. Anyone know what is going on??

I had the same problem as well. All applications crashed when I tried to print.
I found the solution at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=199701&highlight=printing+crash.
What I ended up doing was to delete the system's printer drivers (located in Macintosh HD > Library > Printers), then re-installing them from install disk one (optional install). This was suggested by "mad jew" on macrumors, and worked for "EricNau" (using 10.4.6 on iMac G5 17") as well as myself (using 10.4.6 on MBP 17"). Hope it works for you as well.

Applications crash when attempting to use network printer

I just upgraded to Tiger. Now, all applications crash when I attempt to select my network printer (HP laserjet 4600) from the 'File' ->'Print' menu. If the network printer is selected as my default printer, the program closes before the print menu even comes up. However, I can print to this printer if it is my default printer and I use the print icon instead of 'File'->'Print'. I also have a USB printer (Lexmark) which I can print to no problem. I can print to all printers with no problems from Classic applications, and I had no problems printing from either Classic or OS X before upgrading to Tiger. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you run Disk Utility> Repair Permissions after installing the HP driver software? While Repair Permissions may no longer be a useful as it was as a generic troubleshooting step under OS X 10.2.x, it's still essential if you have any third-party software that requires an administrative password to install, especially HP or Adobe software, which are known to trample around placing files with mis-set permissions all over the place.
