While they're not likely to fix things you should do them anyway to rule them out. What I would then do is when you have an application quit on you immediate go to the Console utility and see if you can see the cause for a quit from the system log. While it does look like a mess you can often glean some important information from it.
Otherwise you might have to get back in contact with AppleCare.

Why does my FCX program quit suddenly when I try to capture from my camcorder?

Why does my FCX program quit suddenly when I try to capture from my camcorder?
When it opens it says "no codec found". I used HDV Apple intermediate codec 1080i60. What codec should I use?

Do you mean Final Cut Express or FCP X?
These are two different apps.

Programs quit when trying to print.

I just installed Mac OS 10.4.10 on my Powermac G4, I used to have Mac OS 10.3.9. After I installed the operating system I tried to print something from Safari 3 BETA. When I clicked print the whole program quit. I thought it was a problem with safari so I downloaded firefox. I tried to print again in firefox and the same thing happened, it just quit. I have tried printing in many different programs and every time the program just quits. I have reset the printers and reset the printer setup utility and I have reinstalled both printers. I can't even get to the print options page in the programs. I click "File" the I click "Print" and the program quits. I have a HP Laserjet P2015 printer that is networked and a HP PSC 750 that is attached with usb. I was able to print in Mac OS 10.3.9 but I can't now.

The first rule in troubleshooting is "fix what you last changed, first." I think you have a problem with your OS X install. First thing to try - download the 10.4.10 updater and re-update. Next try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
If those don't help, I suggest reinstalling OS X using the Archive & Install option in the installer.

Constant "Program quit unexpectedly" after recent update.

After my most recent system update was performed I have run into several instances of programs quitting unexpectedly. Ranging from Google Notifier (When you have new mail in gmail), Reporting system errors, trying to download .dmg files, and trying to run the software updater again, they all "end unexpectedly" and when I try to report the error, the program wont respond.
Any ideas as towards a solution?
Thanks!

I first want to thank your for taking the time to go through this with tech support. It saved me and anyone else with same problem a great deal of frustration. I have to admit, I'm surprised the solution is to reinstall Leopard. I've been using a mac for over 15 years and I've never had to reinstall the OS. I'll do it, but if anyone can supply any information as to why this problem occured in the first place, I'd appreciate it.

All programs quit unexpectedly. Please HELP!

My iBook is nearly 3 years old now, but I've been having this problem since 2 months after my purchase date and it has slowly gotten worse over the years. It didn't really bother me until this last year when my work load increased and the crashing became more and more frequent (because I am working more?).
All programs quit unexpectedly--MS Word, Safari, Explorer, Firefox, AIM, iPhoto, Adobe Reader, etc--a lot! It doesn't seem to matter if I have 1 thing running or 5 or 10. For example, I will have one fairly sizeable word doc open and be cutting and pasting a small (10 words) amount of text and it will quit. Or I will go to save it (which I am now obsessed with doing every 5 minutes) and it will quit.
I have taken my computer in about 5 times in the last 9 months to have this issue resolved, but to no avail. They say, "Seems like a software problem" and come up with nothing. They've run the hardware tests and find nothing. They've checked for viruses, corrupted files, etc and always find nothing. They can't replicate the problem even though it happens to me at least twice in an 8 hour day. They've erinstalled OSX and that didn't help either. I feel like I am going crazy--especially in light of the amount of Word data I have lost in the last year.
Among other issues I've had--the motherboard (it was "fried" meaning the computer wouldn't even turn on) was replaced last March and the hard drive (it would make a weird grinding noise and then the programs would close) was replaced in November. I was hoping these replacements would solve my problems, but they clearly haven't.
Are there Lemon Laws for computers? What can I do?! I don't have the money for a new computer
Other potentially useful info:
I had them upgrade the RAM to 512 when I bought it
I have a 30GB of which about 8GB are free
They tell me the RAM tests fine
My warranty runs out at the end of February :/
I am so sick of visiting the Mac "Geniuses" that I now go out of my way to an authorized dealer instead because they don't treat me like I am totally insane. PLEASE HELP!
iBook G4

Sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your iBook.
I would inspect the RAM chips in your computer. You could have gotten a foul RAM chip or installed the wrong type of RAM (even though it may fit in the slot, it may not be the one specified for your model of iBook).
I would also try reinstalling OS X again, completely wiping the drive clean before you do so.
If that doesn't work, you could try resetting the PRAM and NVRAM (look in the knowledge base for documents on how to do this; it is an easy search).
If you are still having trouble, get on the phone with Apple and try to arrange a hardware repair and/or replacement.
The best of luck to you and your problem. I hope that your issue is resolved in the near future.

On New iMac 10.8, CS4 Program quit unexpectedly when trying to print

I can't print since I have reinstall CS4 on my new iMac with english system 10.8. Program quit unexpectedly when I want to print. Is there a solution?

You might have been able to just reapply the OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for PPC or the OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for Intel without having to have gone through the motions of an archive and reinstall, with subsequent combo update.

Mac programs "quit unexpectedly"

Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Air I can no longer log into Safari, Mail, Apple Store, Notes, or update anything anymore.I always get whatever program "quit unexpectedly." It only seems to effect Mac programs. I have to use FireFox to get on line now (no issues).
Any thoughts? I'm currently running OS X 10.9 on a 2GHz i7 with 8 GB ram.

Hello, not your fault, but when you use Paste instead of Paste & Match style, this forum makes it really hard to read the log.

"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Few of programs quit unexpectedly

why is few of my programs quit unexpectedly

If you go to the Apple Menu and select 'About this Mac', it'll give you the information about what RAM/OS Version/iMac Model - in fact pretty much everything you need to know about the tech specs of your Mac.
How long have you used McAfee - that immediately rings alarm bells as there are many threads on here where anti-virus software often proves to be the cause of problems. Can you use the McAfee uninstaller to remove it to see if that is the cause of your problems.
You don't actually need any AV software to protect your Mac - but if you feel you must install something the free/donationware clamXav is often recommended on here as being a good, trouble-free choice: http://www.clamxav.com/
If you run Windows on your Mac alongside OSX you do need to install AV for the Windows OS.

Audio skipping and programs quitting unexpectedly, please help

Hi all, I have a Power PC G5 running on OSX 10.3.9. I came into my room this morning to my fan running at an absurd speed and the computer was frozen. I restarted the computer, but the rest of the day, my audio has been skipping constantly (on itunes and also when played through Firefox) regardless of how many programs I have open. I have never had any issues with this before. I'm also having problems with programs freezing today and with programs quitting unexpectedly.
What caused my fan to go nuts? The tower is sitting in a pretty dusty area, so it is possible that there is dust around the tower. I have no experience opening or cleaning a computer, so if that is what I should do, could you please instruct me on the best way to do that.
I have about 40gb free with 110gb utilized on my Macintosh HD. The activity monitor shows that I only have 130mb Free of system memory (when I'm only running itunes, activity monitor, and firefox). The activity monitor also jumps from having abou 85% of the CPU idle when it is working fine down to below %40 percent when the audio is skipping. What is causing these jumps?
Thank you for your help.
Max

Let's start with the basics.
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

Programs quit when machine sleeps

Hi gang, just got a new MBP and all of my programs quit when the machine goes to sleep, the old one didn't do that. I'm sure it's a pref somewhere (but not in energy or security, unless it's oddly named). Any direction would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Just a guess, but under Security in System Preferences, do you have your Mac set to log out after a short period of inactivity? If so, the log out process will quit any open applications. You may want to check your settings here and possibly adjust them.
Good luck!

I have received several emails and when I check them the program quits?

I have received several emails and when I check them the program quits?

There must be corruption on them.
If you can't get rid of them any other way, delete the email account and recreate it.

I am running OS X10.4.11 Recently I have been having trouble opening entourage, word, safari, excel, etc on a cold start It has been taking 3 attempts each time getting a message that the program quit unexpectedly. Seems like a virus. What can I do?

1st attempt to open an application after the computer has been shut down a message says(as an example)" the application PowerPoint quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click reopen to see more details or send a report to Apple." Next attempt it says "The application PowerPoint quit unexpectedly after it was reopened. Mac Os X and other applications are not affected. Click Try Again to temporarily restore the application's default settings and open it again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click "Try Again" the app opens normally and usually runs ok sometimes it will quit unexpectedly but when reopening at that point it opens ok. Never had this issue until about 2 weeks ago. *** When I close the program myself I get a message that says "PowerPoint-New Settings
New settings have been created for this application. Do you want to use these settings from now on? Then there are 2 buttons below the dialogue box that say "Use new settings and Use original settings" This happens every time I try to open Power Point, Excel, Safari, Entourage the first time each new day. If I have been running any of those programs and have not shut down the laptop then the program will reopen normally but may shut down unexpectedly on its own and sometimes not. What changed and how do I fix this problem? Running OS X10.4.11 and software updates are current. Ran diagnostics and checked out ok.

Why are my programs quiting unexpectedly and repeatedly when I try to open them?

After updating my Java for Mac OS X 10.6 version 7, Safari, Macbook EFI Firmware, Apple Software Installer, and iTunes this morning, my iTunes, iPhoto, Word, Adobe, etc. are not opening for me. I get an error stating that the program has quit unexpectedly each time I attempt to open one of these programs. Any thoughts as to what is going on and how I can fix it? I would really appreciate some help!

''' "Why does Mozilla use files that I can't open?" '''
The bookmarks backup JSON files '''''are''''' human readable in a text program like Notepad or Wordpad. But those JSON files don't have any separate lines of numbers and text they're one long line. Those files are made to do their job in Firefox, not to be looked at by users.
What type of problem do you have that prompted you to attempt to read a file like that?

Programs quit unexpectedly every time I try to open.

I have the Adobe Creative Suite production premium CS6 and everything was working fine yesterday. Today I was cleaning out all the stupid fonts I dont use in Font Book and then I deleted a LOT of them. Now most of the programs will not open (Illustrator, InDesign, Bridge, After Effects)... It starts to load up and then says it quit unexpectedly.. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Rempleseed,
Is it an option to go back to an earlier time/state of the computer, obviously, after securing any files that may disappear (if you have them on your main harddisk)?
