All video content players are crashing regularly - any ideas please?
Every application that plays any kind of video is crashing on a regular basis.
Quicktime and VLC cannot get through about 20 minutes of video without suddenly freezing and after about 15 seconds of beach ball quit.
Safari and Firefox do the same thing with any YouTube, Google Video or other Flash based video.
I have checked that I have the latest version of all the relevant software, i.e. OS X 10.5.4, Quicktime 7.5, VLC 0.8.6h, Safari 3.1.2, Firefox 3.0 and Flash Player 10.
It started happening a month or so ago - before all the mentioned software was updated - evidently none of the updates made any difference.
The same thing happens whether the application is the only one running or not and whether the video file is on my main hard drive or one of the other internal drives - I tried using SleeplessHD in case it was because of a drive going to sleep.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Thanks.
The crash logs follow (edited to jump to crashed threads) - there doesn't seem to be a crash log for Safari generated in the last four months. As a side issue, I have just noticed that all online flash video looks like very poorly encoded .avi, i.e. no keyframes and mainly composed of green blocks - totally unwatchable. I'm guessing that this is down to the new Flash plug-in so I'm going to try to revert to the previous version.

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.
Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera? -
I don`t know how but I have lost all my photos that were in iTunes,any ideas on how to retreave them.I have tried deselecting the all folders when it starts syncing but it wont let me.
Please explain your problem better. There a no photos in iTunes.
You can sync photos from your computer to your iPod via iTunes. You select in the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes what folder of photos to sync to the iPod. -
-- I've tried using other browsers, but no luck
All other iCloud apps are fine via Safari (mail, calendar, etc.). Any ideas?
I've tried clearing cache, logging in and out, switching off iMac.
I'm using latest OS X and Safari versions.
The problem seems to have crept to my iOS devices, which now register non-sync'd versions of my reminders lists, and which will not update via iClouGawd, how have you managed not to update it?! The current version is Version 3.1.2 (4525.22)!
Small wonder it won't work with 10.4.11.
Have you ever used Software Updater to check whether there are any updates available for your Mac?
I would recommend that you download the latest version from here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
But please make sure that you download the version for Tiger and not for Leopard.
BUT before you do so, and before you install it, please go through the following routine:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

If all is OK, install the new Safari, and REBOOT, then repair permissions again. -

All my office programs are crashing regularly, especially Outlook!!!
MS Office programs, all of them, Outlook, Powerpoint, etc. all crashing.
Started when I upgraded to Office 2013/365
Every other program is stable on the machine.
Removed completely and reinstalled. Remove all display drivers completely and reinstalled.
Almost without fail, the issue is similar to:
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\OUTLOOK.EXE
Faulting module path: C:\windows\system32\atidxx32.dll
Report Id: 5122c0c6-aa4f-11e3-a93e-b788900b7920
HERE IS THE THING ...... there is no atidxx32.dll at system32\atidxx32.dll and there should not be.
atidxx32.dll is under syswow64 ... right where it should be.
For whatever reason, MS OFFICE appears lost!
JackHi,
Please first try to open Office programs in safe mode to check the crash will stop. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/support/why-cant-i-start-my-office-2013-application-HA104011864.aspx
If the problem continues in safe mode, the video configuration of your PC may cause this problem. Please refer to the article below to troubleshoot the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2768648/en-us
In addition, we can try to use Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT) to diagnose the Office problem. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2812744/en-us
Please let me know the result.
Best Regards,
Steve Fan

Upgraded to 5.0.1 and now all keynotes are blank. Any ideas please?
I just upgraded to iWork 09 and then as software update instructed, upgraded to 5.0.1..
Now any new keynote or any old keynote file opens, shows the slides in the slide organiser on the left but the main slide window is completely blank.
I drag a picture in, nothing, blank. I edit some type and change colours... nothing.
Any old keynote I open has the slides there, I can export as powerpoint, pdf or anything else, but cannot edit in main window as there is nothing there.
No theme data is there. Slides are blank. Even applying a theme retrospectively has no effect.
I have repaired permissions, nothing particularly doing.
No change.
I am now stuck. I can try reinstalling, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
Kind regards
JoelI have solved my own problem here. This might be of use if anyone has a similar problem.
Removed the Application support files and the Application folder for iWork 09.
Re-installed iWork 09
Tested to see if the slides now work
They do.
Re-applied the upgrades to 5.0.1
Tested

Hi...I have just obtained a secondhand iphone 5. I'm not technically minded and I don't understand 'geek speak' so please be gentle. I have done all I can think of to bottom this problem. I have switched on and off. Tried different o2 sims (including 2 brand new) that I know are fine, restored to factory settings, changed carrier from 'Auto' to O2 and spent ages on line with o2 chat but everything at their end is absolutely fine. Everything on the phone seems to be working apart from the phone aspect of things. All incoming calls go straight to voicemail and show on the phone as 'Cancelled calls' and when dialling out, I can key in the numbers and get the keypad tone (not dialling tone) but as soon as I press the green key to make the call, all that happens is the keypad pops back up onto the screen. The phone was bought on ebay as an o2 phone (the photo showed Giffgaff on the phone's screen but I understand this to be one and the same?) and as being 6 months old but I have put the serial number into the support website and...surprise surprise..,it must be at least twice that age as the warranty has expired. I have made 2 attempts to have a web chat with Apple Support, have reached the 'You're all set, we'll be with you in 2 mins' and have been left hanging there for over an hour on each occasion, so I've given that up as a bad job!! Any help will be much appreciated...and also, will Apple charge me £25 for each of the aborted chat attempts, please? Over to you...hopefully and many thanks in anticipation.
My phone works all fine when am in mumbai but as soon s i leave mumbai I am not able to make an otgoing call
This is entirely a carrier issue. If your carrier (airtel) doesn't provide service outside of Mumbia, this has nothing to do with your iPhone.
i feel i need to change my brand

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

All video content pixelated during playback.
Issue: All video content (Trailers, Podcasts, TV shows stored locally, TV shows & music videos streamed from iTunes) are pixelated. HDMI Audio is unaffected as are the AppleTV menus, screen savers and photo slideshows.
*Troubleshooting steps taken:*
Checked HDMI cable connection.
Checked HDMI cable with another device.
Checked various types of video content.
Ran diagnostics on AppleTV. No errors found.
Restored AppleTV to factory conditions.
Upgraded to latest firmware.
Synced content locally.
I have no idea what else to do. Has anyone ran into this situation? What, if anything, could I do to resolve this issue?
I have used my AppleTV without this issue ever happening before as recently as a week ago. The content that I was attempted to watch was purchased from the Apple iTunes store.Since another device worked with the same cable and port on my Vizio TV I have, the only thing could have been the AppleTV. So I decided to go to the Apple Store. 45 minutes after unplugging the AppleTV I was at the Apple Store. Then after another 40 minutes of waiting for the Genuis, my AppleTV was plugged in and worked perfectly.
The only thing I can think of is the heat from the AppleTV always being on affected the graphics card. Let's see if it happens again. -
All video content on certain sites does not load or even appear. How do I fix this?
On most websites, all video content is loading fine. On one or two particular sites, the video does not load, but is simply a black box. I disabled all my add-ons, and that did not take care of the problem. I disabled the Enable Hardware Acceleration option on Flash. This did nothing. Please help me fix this. I am at my wit's end.
On Soccer Highlights, because I have Flash set to "click to play", I first need to activate Flash before the black boxes show any content. There is an infobar which slides down or I can use the plugin notification icon (looks like a small Lego block) in the address bar. (Screen shot #1, #2)
Next I click to play and I get an ad. Of course. Followed by content. So it should work.
When you say you disabled all your add-ons, do you mean you tested in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions (but not plugins) and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).

My files are all there and open in Preview but in Numbers they come up blank. Same in Pages. Any ideas please? My Mac was stopped suddenly by a power cut. Could this be relevant? Help please. Jon Sims
"My Mac was stopped suddenly by a power cut. Could this be relevant?"
Sounds very relevant.
Do you have access to another computer with Numbers installed?
If so, do your files open properly on that computer?
If so, then the problem is your computer itself, which is best posted in a different forum. -
