Always have to force quite Microsoft Word

For years now, the only way to quit Microsoft Word is to force quit it. This happens on three of my computers. Anyone else have this issue?

What system and MS Office versions are you currently running?
Have you applied all of the available updaters to your version of MS Office. Use the Help ➙ Check for Updates menu option.
I'm running MS Office 2008 with Yosemite and it takes about 8 - 10 seconds for Word to quit. This is the version of Word I have.

TS3276 hi after updating to Mountain Lion, it becomes difficult to quit Mail, always have to Force Quit. And while Mail is on standby, the fan keeps on running full power, the laptop is hot. Why is this happening?

hi after updating to Mountain Lion, it becomes difficult to quit Mail, always have to Force Quit. And while Mail is on standby, the fan keeps on running full power, the laptop is hot. Why is this happening?

If your computer was hot it wasn't asleep - it either didn't go to sleep or it work up after you put it to sleep. I've seen both things happen. First, read this article and follow the instructions.
1) For the next few days/weeks pay attention to the blinking light on the front of your computer when you close the lid. Don't put the computer into your backpack/case until it begins to blink. Wait a minute or so after it starts to blink to make sure it doesn't stop blinking - the signal it woke back up.
2) having followed the above instructions, if you take the computer out and it is hot again or if you take it out and discover it has powered down (you'll know this because when it starts up the battery will be drained and you'll see a progress bar over a ghostly display that will eventually become normal) immediately start the Console program and perform a search on 'sleep' and then 'wake'. This should bring up all the recent log files about sleep state changes (going to sleep and waking up). You should see one for when you put the computer to sleep and put it away and the next one should be just after you got it out. You'll find at least one though that shouldn't be there. That will tell you when the computer work up (when it shouldn't have) and might give a clue as to why.
One of the whys could be a magnet that is making the computer think the lid has been opened.

Always have to force quit mail app

A few weeks ago, I starting having problems with my mail app on my imac. I have 2 mail accounts set up in the app, one is my mobile me and the other is through AOL. Before I updated my computer to snow leopard, this app worked fine. It seem to work fine for a few weeks after I did the update, but now once I open the mail app, in order to get new mail to show up in the inbox, I have to force quit out of the app and open it back up. I cannot just go to 'mail' and 'quit mail' the app freezes. I have tried clicking the 'get mail' button and nothing happens when clicking on it. I have also searched the support forums and have tried to delete the 'com.apple.mail.plist' file and nothing changes.
I am frustrated because I have this exact same set up on my macbook pro and things seem to work just fine. I have checked all the settings and they all match.
Any ideas? I am sick of force quitting and reopening mail when I want to see if I have new emails....
Anyway to just get rid of the mail app and reinstall this application. I dont want to have to re-install the entire snow leopard program and have to go through all the tedious work of putting all my stuff back on the computer.... (the first time I did the upgrade, for some reason my computer crashed, and I lost everything, had to call apple support and they had to talk me through the reinstall-- luckily I had everything backed up on disks)

Finder won't show you invisible Files (filenames beginning with a period). That's what makes fixing Mail such a hassle.
In Applications/Utilities you'll find a program called Terminal.app. It lets you access the command-line interface where you're free to do absolutely anything. Be careful there.
Open a Terminal window and paste this in:
find ~/Library/Mail -name .\*
A list of invisible files files will be displayed. If it's just caches and index states, as I mentioned in the earlier posting, run the command again with the delete flag:
find ~/Library/Mail -name .\* -delete
Don't run this if the first listing looks like it's showing e-mails. I also recommend checking that you have a backup first.

Mail never quits completely, I have to force quit

Mac Mail never quits completely. I always have to force quit. What's up? I have it running, I hit CMD+Q and it closes, but you can see it running in the dock. I usually forget that it's running until the fan on my MBA starts running. Then I know MAIL is running. Why can't Mail quit when I tell it to? I'm running the latest version of Lion as of 5-7-2012.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise 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).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
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.
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 the test.

I have to force quit every time I shut down the computer because Firefox gets hung up

I shut my Mac laptop down every night. When I do, I always have to 'force quit' because the application won't quit on its own. When I turn my computer on the next day, it offers to restart the previous session. I wonder why it is that the application won't quit on its own, or what website is causing the problem.

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?

Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
That's it really.

Hi, I removed Glims and it solved my problem.

I have a mac book pro running OS 10.5.8 and firefox has always been fine but for the last two days it is slow to open and run and wont shut down, I have to force quit. Is there a current problem?

I have to force quit because my mac says "Firefox not responding" this happens on both my work network and home (cable) network.

My best guess would be that the version of Safari you're using is outdated and unsupported by Outlook.com/Hotmail.com. Since you're still running Leopard (OS X 10.5), the best solution is to try Chrome 22 or Firefox 16 (the latest versions supported by Leopard).
Otherwise, I would upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6) then you can run the newest versions of both Firefox and Chrome. You can get the upgrade for free from Apple if you call their customer support.
I have the same model of Macbook and am running the newest version of OS X, Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), without a problem. Then you would be able to run the latest version of Safari as well (version 6).
EDIT: Here are links to older versions of Chrome and Firefox.
Chrome 22: http://mac.oldapps.com/google_chrome.php?system=mac_os_x_10.5_leopard_intel
Firefox 16: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/en-US/

How to fix?

Well, two thoughts.
The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Firefox/Safari were constantly crashing- now have to force-quit all other apps on MBP..

I really hope someone can help me. I've been having an issue with apps on my MBP crashing for like 9 months and it's getting worse and I'm losing my mind! It started with Firefox. Everything will be going along fine, and then suddenly I'll try to scroll down on a web page or click a link or really do anything and there will be a rainbow scrolly wheel delay that can last anywhere from 5-20 seconds. I'll tolerate it for a little while, but eventually I can't take it anymore and try to shut down Firefox, which I can only do with a force quit. Sometimes the delay is accompanied by a crazy increase in CPU which triggers the fans, but sometimes it's not. It usually happens when I have multiple tabs open. A while back I tried removing all my Firefox add-ons and plug-ins and whatnots (including Flash and Java), to no avail. So I broke down and started using Safari...and the same thing happened. Went back to FF and keep upgrading to the newest versions, but the problem hasn't gone away.
Then, a couple of months ago, a few of my other "big" apps (i.e. iTunes and Adobe Reader) started experiencing similar delay issues. No scrolly wheel appears on these, but everything just takes forever and the only way to close these apps is to force quit. Over the past month or so, the issue has spread to my MS Office apps. For these, the delay is largely contained to opening and closing new docs/presentations, but I have to force quit to close them too.
In February, I decided to move to Lion, but changed my mind when I read that people were still having issues with decreased speed and spotty internet connectivity. I was afraid to do anything that might make things worse.
My MBP is turning 5 this month. I wouldn't be entirely surprised to hear that she's just experiencing the effects of old-age (after all, 5 years is 2X longer than my old PC lasted), but I've been unemployed for well over 2 years and am not exactly itching to get a new computer right now if I don't have to. I did upgrade the hard drive about a year ago, but things were fine for the first few months after that. Maybe that wouldn't create problems right away, though. I don't know. Anyway, I'm running OS 10.6.8, Firefox 13, iTunes 10.6.1, Adobe Reader 10.1.3 and Office 2008.
I would be most grateful to anyone who can offer a potential home-repair solution (one which does not require mad IT skills), knows what the problem might be and/or how much it might cost to have it professionally diagnosed/repaired. Depending on what it could cost to diagnose/fix it, it might not even pay to bother.
Thank you!!!

Colorsync Utility. Whenever I click on Devices or Filters, it hangs and I have to force quit. Any ideas as to how to fix this?

I'm having an issue with Colorsync Utility. When I open the utility I can access Profile First Aid, Profiles and the Calculator but whenever I click on Devices or Filters, it hangs and I have to force quit. I recently re-profiled my NEC monitor using xRite i1Profiler Pro and saved the ICC profile as "version 4". When I went to use the Nik's ColorEfex Pro 4 plug-in, in Adobe Photodhop CS5.1 (Creative Suite 5.5), I got a cyan cast across all my images. Nik said it had to do with a corrupt ICC profile but when I ran Profile First Aid, the only profile that came up as needing repair ( and couldn't) was EW-sRGB. I reprofiled the monitor only this time I saved it as "version 2", and the plug-in worked fine. What surprises me is that Colorsync Utilty always used to work without issue, and I never seemed to have a problem creatinga and saving ICC profiles using version 4. Any ideas as to what is causing this problem and how to fix this?
Thanks.

I updated my software, and deleted my history/cache. Also, when I try to use Preview, it says that it was forced to quit while restoring windows, so when I click restore windows nothing happens. I can't view anything either. The only thing I can think that may have caused these problems is I tried to shut down and had to force it to by holding the power button. I rarely shut it off.

Song NEARLY imports, then have to force quit.

Hello all,
had some great advice here before with success, but this time I fear it may be a dead end. A little background info then in point form may be in order this time:
1. Have recently upgraded to iTunes 7.1 and 7.1.1
2. Successfully imported 1000 songs so far with bought and copied CD's
3. During latest incarnation of iTunes have also been able to import CD's with 'data protection' (in the same box set however some just get ejected after loading straight away).
4. COPIED VERSIONS I HAVE IMPORTED IN THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF I TUNES ARE NOW LOCKING ITUNES AND I HAVE TO FORCE QUIT EVERY TIME.
5. I have highlighted the above as with the remaining 10 CD's (purchased and previously burned) this seems to happen.
6. Have tried importing using various formats: AAC, MPE3, etc without success.
7. Superdrive was recently replaced.
Now, where it all goes South is the last few millimeters on the import bar in iTunes, on the first song, before the lock up.
Data protection I can understand but please bear in mind that those CD's have been imported OK in the past but now won't.
Also, some of those Data marked CD's (I had previously imported) will simply be ejected if iTunes is NOT open, others if iTunes was previously closed.
Seems to be little pattern in it at this stage except of the 'upgrade itself'. If the CD's (burned or bought) load, the force quit always seems to have to be initiated during the last few seconds of the first import. Tried also to uncheck the 1st song, with the same result.
If anyone has some pointers, let me know and we can try to narrow it down. My whole reson for importing is that ALL our 10 year collection was the victim of a break-in and I would like to secure this through back-ups nowdays.
Cheers
PS Excuse the untimely replies as Australia is many time zones away.

Well, after my posts and updates I have finllally imported nearly 1800 songs. The main work around for those that locked up iTunes just before the 1st import has always successfully been: Play first song and then import (something certainly new). The remaining 3 CD's are even a stranger even:
1. 2 burned CD's are shown as 'empty' (zero data) and won't mount. Have previously imported some songs from those CD's and there is no problem playing them in the home CD player.
2. 1 bought CD 'cycles' through reading and then ejects itself. Whilst it has 'data' on the reverse of it, I have imported one with an identical print (even came from the same box set).
Could this change maybe have to do with region code more than iTunes and OSX update? I did mention that this is a new Superdrive as well. When I get the chance, will try them at an Apple store and see what happens. How annoying though, only three to go and all my imports are done.
Any tackers on this final problem?
Cheers
