CS4 all apps are crashing when opening and Mac can't recognize installation CD to reinstall.

All my CS4 Design Suite applications are crashing when opening. Plus, my Mac won't let me uninstall to reinstall as my G5 Mac OS 10.4.11 won't recognize anything much with the Adobe products. I've been using these apps (legal originals) since January 09 with no problem. Recently received an InDesign file from a PC user that must have been corrupt as it started crashing InDesign. Now everything is crashing. Help!

You probably don't want to publish your personal info in your posts.
A PC virus can't affect a Mac. I don't even have virus software.
since the software does not work in either account there are 2 possibilities. We know its not corrupt prefs because a new account did not work. we know it not some other corruption in the user account. so we have narrowed it down to the actual software or the OS. If it were the applications one or two of them should work. so I would guess it is some thing to do with the system.
My next step would be to do an Archive and Install of the OS then update. This way you keep all your settings and apps but install a new system and user account. If that does not do it I would reinstall the Creative Suite.

Firefox 3.6.3 crashes when opening and the Crash Report [[@ strlen nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ]. It was working perfectly fine and the last three days, I am having difficulty in opening firefox.

Usually doesn't immediately crash, although that happens also. Usually hangs, then crashes.
Addons are WHY I use Firefox when it works. I am NOT on the bleeding edge any longer. I could go back to boring, boring, Chrome.

ITunes shows 46 app updates. When I try to update it says all apps are up to date. How can I correct this?

iTunes shows 46 app updates. When I try to update it says all apps are up to date. How can I correct this?

Any chance the apps were purchased through another iTunes Store account? That's usually the cause of the symptoms you describe. Get Info on your apps and see if perhaps some were indeed purchased using a different account. If so, just sign into the iTunes Store using that account and you should then be able to update.

Why my iPad 2 crashes after iOS 7? My apps are not being opened and my devices keeps on crashing.

My iPad 2 crashes every time after I installed iOS 7. It just got crashed 10 times while posting this question. Any of my apps is not being opened and it shows black blank page after I try to open. And system has also become slower. I don't find any way to stop my device from crashing every now and then. iOS 7 is just not working I guess. Please help me to find the solution of CRASHING every time.

Hey Akshit Gandhi,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad 2. To completely isolate these issues, it may be best to backup your device and restore as new:

Running the latest OS Mavericks. 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Problem: since upgrading to Maverick almost all applications are slow to open, and frequently many 'spinning ball' interruptions. Repaired disk permissions - no help.

I'm running the latest OS 10.9.1 Mavericks (late 2009 iMac). 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Since upgrading to Mavericks, apps are slow to open, with frequent "spinning ball" interruptions. Repaired Disk Permissions - no help. Repaired disk - no problems indicated. Did notice in going to Utilities/Console that there are 4000 messages over a 3 day period. Any suggesstions how to correct this sudden slow down, other than psychiatric help?

Yes. Many messages show up when I try to use Office for Mac 08. Here's a sample (and one that repeats over and over again):
2/11/14 1:01:16.577 PM Microsoft Word[1912]: OTAtomicAdd32 is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please stop using it.
Also getting many msgs when I use Chrome.

Firefox crashes when opening and will not open in safe mode

Recently FF3 started crashing when opening. It will not open in safe mode as well. I have uninstalled it including deleting the install folder and profile folders as well as registry entries. Upon reinstallation is will still not launch in any mode.
I have scanned for malware with several scanners and that has not found anything.
Here is the crash report cause - nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base() | nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*)
Anti-virus is Trend Micro Worry Free for Business. I uninstalled it and Firefox and then reinstalled only Firefox and still get the same thing.
I do not know what to try next.

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

HT2452 System Preferences app. window frozen when opened and round coloured circle turns without stop.

The system preferences app. started to be with troubles when opened,its remain frozen in a window ,e.g. Desktop/Screensaver or any other,without to be able to use another of application items.
At the time of the trouble, the mouse pointer becomes a disc coloured which turns without to stop.
I must log out from application by forced log out from de dock icon.
What´s going on ????????
Thanks in advance for your comments ,in oredr to solve the a.m. issue.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Lot of my apps are crashed when running just few mili seconds they started?

The Ipad seems to be ok.
I push the app icon. It seems to start. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.
When I'm able to get the app the screen goes to a black state for "miliseconds" (due what ?) and suddenly despairs and the home screen is back.
I try again and the problem is shown again.
It helped a little bit when I "erased" the apps. And instaled them again from my computer with a new sync operation by means of Itunes.
But after few hours the problem is back
The apps more suceptibles are UPAD, Notebook from Circus Ponies, Numbers, Notes and day after day are more with the same problem. Even mail app.
The system is very un stable and I'm pretty upset

It's too soon to blame it on the machine itself. At least two other things might be causing your problems:
1. A Bad App ... Some app that you have installed and use all the time has become corrupted in some way that, over time, affects your OS. it's very tedious to find these, as you have to slowly, over time, isolate the problem.
Do a Reset to a nice, working system, then spend some time only using maybe half of the apps that you usually do. If you don't get the problem, start adding more apps until you do. If it happens right away, you start over but, this time, only use half the apps that you originally did. Repeat it all as needed until you think you know what the problem app is, then delete that one and, if you like, download a fresh copy of it.
2. A Bad iOS Install ... If you decide this is the problem, then you basically start over by loading in a fresh copy of iOS. This is sort of the nuclear option, though; nice if it works, but leaving you with some serious unknowns if it doesn't (Do you still have a bad app? Did you get another messed-up install? Do you have a hardware problem?).
Finally the Tips & Troubleshooting section of your User's Guide has the whole range of things that you can try. You may well find that some of the other types of reset discussed in there, in addition to the 'hard reset' that you've been trying, might clear things up.

Iphone 4 stock apps keeps crashing when opened/

Hi everyone,
I have an Iphone 4g, and the stock apps like weather, calculator, safari, mail keep crashing as soon as I open them, and they do appear in the recent apps panel.
I've formatted (restored) it several times and it's the same.
version: 7.1.2.
Thanks,

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Also, if you restored from back up, you may want to try doing so as a new device (without backup).

CS3 crashes when Opening and saving files - also runs slow

Today, while using photoshop, it locked up on me & I had to force quit. It then wouldn't open a file either via Bridge or the open menu. I could create a new file, but it would hang while attempting to save.
I downloaded and ran the FixVCUIFramework, and it allowed me to open and save 1 file, before it started not saving or opening again. Running the Fix again has no effect.
I switched to another user account, and everything works fine - in fact PS runs much speedier in the 2nd user account than in my main account. I hadn't noticed how slow it had become in opening and saving.
Any ideas of where to look in trying to repair my main account? I don't want to have to migrate everything over to the 2nd account. Bridge in the 2nd account doesn't allow me to open all my folders, so I'd prefer not to work totally with a new user account.

Thanks

A forced quit WILL create corruption.
An Archive and Install of the OS will give you a fresh system in your regular account while preserving your settings. Should take you less than 45 minutes.
But you may want to try deleting your Photoshop preferences and running the 10.4.11 update over your existing 10.4.11 system first. That may work too, and it would be faster.

Our live apps are crashing upon launch and our only insight is that it is a "Viewer" crash - any ideas what the root cause could be?

They are crashing on iOS 7

Once you’ve run v32 on a device your keystore winds up getting modified with data that can’t be processed with the v29 viewers, which is why you are seeing the v29 apps crash.

All styles are gone when opening in Contribute

Hi, I have built a website that uses CSS for the formatting that my client wants to edit herself in Contribute. But when she opens a page in contribute, all formatting is gone. She pretty much sees all Times text 12 p.
What's wrong? I don't have Contribute as I built this using Dreamweaver so I can't troubleshoot.
Here's the page in question:

Have you tried to restart your Mac?

CS4 Indesign docs are crashing when I try and print to HP laser printer.

Any ideas why? My workaround is to make pdfs, then print. That works okay...
Thanks in advance!

Please post the entire crash report on pastebin.com and put a link here. No guarantees, but we're a lot more likely to find an answer if we see the whole report.
What have you tried, if anything to resolve the problem?

My computer was stolen and now my wife and i are sharing her laptop. we have separate apple ID accounts, i upgraded to iphone 4 since the robbery. all of her apps are on my phone and i can not get my apps or upgrade exisiting apps using my apple account

my wife and I are now sharing the same laptop, mine was stolen, we have separate apple ID accounts. i upgraded to iphone 4 after the robbery and activated my phone on her laptop. when i try to download or upgrade apps her apple ID keeps popping up. can we have separate accounts using the same laptop with different phones? if so, how can i fix this?

It sounds as if you're using the same Mac OS X login account on that computer. If you create a separate login account for yourself, it will be as if you have two computers (other than the fact you can't both use it at the same time, of course).
Go to System Preferences->Users & Groups to create a new user account for yourself. Log out of your wife's account, then log in to your own account. You can now set up this user environment any way you like. When you launch iTunes the first time, enter your Apple ID and log in to the iTunes Store. Redownload all of your content. Then connect your iPhone to the computer using the USB cable - it will treat it as a new phone, let iTunes wipe the phone and set it up as new.
You might then want to set up Fast User Switching within System Preferences->Users & Groups which will allow you and your wife to swap the laptop between the two of you easily without even having to log out one account in order to log in to the other.
