Appleworks Quitting for no reason

running Appleworks 6 on OS 10.4.11
I have a database document that keeps crashing upon an attempted save or navigation through the cells.
Anyone else have these issues?
thx

(1)
repair permissions with Disk Utility or better
run a maintenance tool like the free Onyx to clean several hidden system files.
(2) trash the preferences files:
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.appleworks.pli st
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks:AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks:AppleWorks 6 Preferences
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks:AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
(3) check the installed fonts. One of them may be corrupted.
(4) try to work from an other user account which will allow you to know if the problem is linked to items of your account or if it is linked to items of the global components.

  • TS1702 iBooks keeps quitting for no reason

    iBooks keeps quitting for no reason. So tedious, so fed up with the app.

    You might have a corrupt PDF file in iBooks, a corrupted book download, the app itself might be corrupt.....have you tried deleting the app and reinstall it? You can download your books again from the purchased tab of the iBooks app. If you sync with iTunes, you can sync all of your books back to the iPad after you delete the app and reinstall it.
    In the meantime, you might want to just try quitting the app, reboot the iPad and then see how the app behaves.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iBooks app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IMovie quits for no reasons and its options get reset

    Just a bit ago, i was using imovie and then it quit for no reason, and it has beend oing that reciently, but I can get up fine. This time, it quit and it reset its options and I didn't tell it to do that. What is going on an d how can I fix this?
    the project seems to be uneffected.

    Perhaps you answered your own question. Garbage
    Collection.
    You need to save a reference of your implementation
    class or it will be eaten by the GC. You can do this
    by having a private Object within your Class.
    You need to keep the Server alive. Once the RMI
    Runtime had a "keep alive" thread for this but in
    newer (SDK1.4+) versions it's now up to you.
    We use this in our main() method that starts the
    server:
    Object forever = new Object();
    ... in a sync block
    wait(forever);This sounds like it is right on the money, but could you please spell out in a little more detail what I need to do? As I mentioned, I start the server like this:
    java -classpath dermpathApplet.jar:mail.jar:activation.jar:mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable-bin.jar com.edermpath.dermpath_client.DPAppletServer &
    DPAppletServer is very simple, looks like this:
    public class DPAppletServer {
    public DPAppletServer() {    
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
    new DPAppletServer();
    DataAccessImpl da=new DataAccessImpl();
    java.rmi.Naming.rebind("rmi://www.dp.mcw.edu/com.edermpath.dermpath_client.DataAccess",da);
    etc
    Do you mean that I need to modify DPAppletServer? Or DataAccessImpl? How would a private object prevent the server from being garbage collected? Where does the sync block go? Is it just for a separate thread that waits forever??
    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Mail unexpectedly quitting for no reason

    Wonder is anyone can help, I have been running Mail under 10.5.1 for some time now with no problems.
    This morning I logged in, launched Mail and everything was fine until it tried to connect and download mail and then it unexpectedly quit. This is repeatable every time and I have no idea why it is doing it.
    Anyone got any suggestions as to how to tackle it?
    Thanks
    PS no new software or plug ins have been added in between the time it was working and not.

    Dear bneely
    I wonder if you can help me?
    I am having problems with Mail quitting for no reason almost as soon as I open it. It is clearly trying to bring mail in, but I have left it for hours and it either quits or just keeps trying ...
    I have Entourage which, in desperation, I have been using, but I would much prefer to get mac Mail operational again. Here is the information that you say will help you to see what might be happening:

  • Applications Quitting for No Reason

    Since I installed OS 4.1 on my iPhone 3G, my applications quit for no reason. Specifically, Facebook and Safari. With FB, it quits on me when I'm trying to post a line of text. Safari quits when I'm trying to load a page.
    Will there be a OS 4.2 to fix these problems?
    Thanks

    This is a user-to-user forum. No one here knows what will be released or when.
    And Apple never tells.
    Try restarting the phone (shut it down, but hold it for 10 or 15 seconds beyond the point where the "slide to power off" appears).
    This often helps.

  • Active screen corners suddenly quits for no reason

    Friends,
    Active screen corners sometimes suddenly quits on me for no reason. I'm breezing along, doing my thing and periodically moving the mouse to one corner to "show desktop" or another to show "all windows." Suddenly, moving the mouse to the corner does nothing. I can't predict when this will occur. Restarting solves the problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    Are you using an external monitor, but not all the time? I get the exact same behavior sometimes when I disconnect my MacBook Pro from my external monitor and then try to activate Expose using active screen corners. It simply doesn't work. However, if I restart, everything works just fine because Leopard recognizes my laptop screen as the primary display. Seems like a bug to me, but I'm not sure. I'd like to hear from others who may know more about the issue.

  • Mac Mail Unexpectedly Quits for no reason

    Hi - yesterday my mac mail started to play up and I am not sure why? I have not done anythin differently - but totally randomly, not when I am doing anything or if I am just browsing folders in Mac Mail the application quits. It has just done it again this morning which is the 4th time since yesterday afternoon.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a search on the forums for this and found people had this problem when starting up - I have no problem starting up. Another thing I have noticed recently is that when I do switch between folders it takes a while to load the preview (longer than it used to) so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
    Also - because of this any advice on how to back up my messages in mac mail quickly and easily would be great!
    Mac Mail Version 2.1 - MacBook Pro

    Hi Tarquin.
    Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    When an application crashes (i.e. quits unexpectedly), the system writes information about the state of the application at the moment of the crash into a log file. That information is called a crash report and it makes troubleshooting much easier. In order to find and paste the relevant part of the crash report here, proceed as follows:
    1. Open ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Mail.crash.log. The whole Mail crash log appears on a Console window (you can also open that file with any text editor). It may contain many crash reports. We only want the latest, which is located at the bottom of the file.
    2. Look for a line that begins with "Date/Time:" as close to the bottom as possible, and another that says "Thread N Crashed:", where N is a number. Select everything from the "Date/Time:" line to the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:". Copy that text and paste it here. Do not post the whole crash log, and do not include anything beyond the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:" either, just the relevant part.
    Take a look at the following thread for examples of what a crash report looks like:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=466701
    any advice on how to back up my messages
    Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored within the ~/Library/Mail/ folder.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

  • Software keeps quitting for no reason

    Hi
    I wonder if anyone has any ideas about this, Adobe Illustrator (CS2 v) keeps quitting when I attempt to use certain tools. Occasionally Adbe Bridge just quits also.
    Is this a software issue or a Mac issue? It never seems to happen when I use photoshop. Should I just blank everything and install the software again?
    Many thanks
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    before you delete everything and re-install the software, try to run repair permission; open application folder > utilities folder > disk utility > repair permission.
    And restart after that.
    Good Luck.

  • Software quits for no reason

    Hi
    Sorry i have posted this already, but i didn't get much response and I'm a bit desparate. If anyone can offer any ideas I'd be v.grateful!

    Apple mentioned something about a 'bad configuration file' but were unable to offer me a solution to fixing this.
    Many thanks!

    I would un-install / re-install the CS2 suite. Trying to track down the problem may take longer than restoring the software.
    I use the CS2 apps daily and have not had any problems of the type you mention.

  • Audiobooks suddenly quitting for no reason

    This has happened on my daughter-in-law's 30Gb iPod video, my 2nd Gen 30 GB iPod, and my 2 GB iPod Nano.
    While playing an audio book, the book suddenly stops and the screen displays the menu, when I try to go back to the audiobook, instead of picking up where I left off, it starts over from the beginning. This is HIGHLY frustrating if I'm halfway through an 8, 9, or 10 our long book!!
    Anyone else ever experience this problem?

    Grey Randall,
    Is it the same audio book on all 3, or different audio books?
    Does the audio book play through in iTunes?
    Thank you,
    Nathan C.

  • Adobe 7.0.9 "suddenly quits" for Mac OS 10.3.9

    Okay so I'm going crazy-
    All of the sudden after months of use my Adobe Reader has "suddenly quit" for no reason-
    I've uninstalled it and rebooted then reinstalled- nothing fixes this problem.
    I have not updated anything on the machine in weeks.
    What now?
    Thanks for any help...

    You should probably post in the Reader forum.

  • External drive turns off and on for no reason

    Hello,
    While I work on my computer I have been hearing lately my Lacie drive shut off and start up again and shut off... like it is trying to stay on... and if I select it on the desktop, the beach ball appears and will continue to twirl until I shut my computer and startup again. I was also having problems with QuarkXPress (desktop publisher program) quiting for no reason and thought that it was the external hardrive causing this problem. So, I have been starting the computer in the AM without plugging in the Lacie to see if Quark doesn't quit, but it does quit for no reason. I have also trashed the preferences for it with no luck. I am starting to think that maybe it is my computer itself having problems. I had the permissions repaired, used TechTool Pro to repair any problems. All had been fixed by these two approaches and I am still having the Lacie trying to quit and restart... and still having Quark quit...
    Please help. Today I performed a PRAM to see if that will work. I'm not sure what it is for, but in the past it has helped other problems.
    Any idea as to what is going on?

  • I'm getting a not-quite crash in which I lose ability to interact with the window at all. Is there any way to fix the problem itself? All I can do is an inconvenient "fix" in which I open a new window, and it works in the second window for some reason.

    I'm experiencing a not-quite-crash every time I attempt to open firefox on my new computer. What happens is that the menu bar (which I prefer to have visible instead of that orange single-button menu) has all the letters on it turn gray, and I lose my ability to click anywhere on the page, including to close it. If I attempt to close the page via the taskbar it doesn't let me. It does, however, let me open new windows via the taskbar which don't have the same problem, which allows for an easy-but-inconvenient fix. I've tried it out and it does not have the same problem in Safe Mode. As a result of not being a "true" crash I can't give a crash ID, so you won't be able to trace it that way, sorry.

    ''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
    ''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
    EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

  • I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

    Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
    If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
    1. Don't apply the update.
    2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.
