Applications crashing when iMac (Intel) goes idle

Hello Evryone,
I'm facing some challenges with my iMac Intel 27" as several applications simply crash after the iMac sleeps and goes idle. When I leave applications like iTunes, Skype, Firefox running in the iMac I realize that after a while (btw 30-45min) it crashes. The is no Kernel Blue screen or any other alerts, it simply Forces Quit.
I already run several times of Anti-virus, running it multiple times but all of them come back clean. I have also performed a Disk Utility with the Repair Disk Permissions enabled but the problem persists.
Does anyone has any tips?
Looking forward to hear from you...
Cheers, Max

  • Every application crashes when i try to print from it!

    Hello everyone, i have an HP 1012 laserjet and it was working perfectly fine until i installed all the updates for the ILife and everything else that came out earlier this week. Anyone know what is going on??

    I had the same problem as well. All applications crashed when I tried to print.
    I found the solution at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=199701&highlight=printing+crash.
    What I ended up doing was to delete the system's printer drivers (located in Macintosh HD > Library > Printers), then re-installing them from install disk one (optional install). This was suggested by "mad jew" on macrumors, and worked for "EricNau" (using 10.4.6 on iMac G5 17") as well as myself (using 10.4.6 on MBP 17"). Hope it works for you as well.

  • I have been using Lightroom 4.4 successfully for over 2 years.  Just tried to import some new photos after a vacation and the application crashes when I click "import" every time.  Tried restarting computer.  Version says it is up to date.

    How do I get formal support for this from Adobe?

    Thanks for the response.  The application was crashing.  A Windows message was displayed showing "Lightroom.exe has stopped working", "Windows can check online for a solution the problem.". Etc.
    I just launched Lightroom to check the exact message for this reply - and the Import worked.  It had failed dozens of times before.

  • Applications crash when attempting to use network printer

    I just upgraded to Tiger. Now, all applications crash when I attempt to select my network printer (HP laserjet 4600) from the 'File' ->'Print' menu. If the network printer is selected as my default printer, the program closes before the print menu even comes up. However, I can print to this printer if it is my default printer and I use the print icon instead of 'File'->'Print'. I also have a USB printer (Lexmark) which I can print to no problem. I can print to all printers with no problems from Classic applications, and I had no problems printing from either Classic or OS X before upgrading to Tiger. Anyone have any ideas?

    Did you run Disk Utility> Repair Permissions after installing the HP driver software? While Repair Permissions may no longer be a useful as it was as a generic troubleshooting step under OS X 10.2.x, it's still essential if you have any third-party software that requires an administrative password to install, especially HP or Adobe software, which are known to trample around placing files with mis-set permissions all over the place.

  • OS 10.3.7 Applications Crash when I do a "save "

    Applications crash when I save documents, so I always save as, and make the file name alittle different. I have fixed and verified permissions, I have trashed preferences, anything else I can do?? this is really getting annoying!
    thanks,
    Tori

    I agree with Roam -- use the new one for a while. Run all your apps to make sure things are cool and work as you desire. In a few months, once you've grown accustomed to the new account, it will be safe to wipe out the old.
    It sounds like there was some corruption in the old account (caches? perms? who knows?) Often these problems can be solved at a more granular level, but if the big and easy answer works, hey, go with that.
    Thanks for the star, BTW.
    Best,

  • Since upgrading to mavericks my applications crash when i try to use the print dialogue

    since upgrading to mavericks my applications crash when i try to use the print dialogue

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Application crashes when using JNI with Jdk 1,2, 1.3 and 1.4

    Hi!
    I have this application that has a GUI written in Java and a file parser written in C. JNI is used to connect these parts together. The problem is that the application only works when I am using jdk 1.1.8 but not when using jdk1.2, jdk1.3 or jdk1.4. I am running the application on a Solaris 8 machine.
    I have not written the application myself but I am going to be working with it from now on. But I have today little knowledge with JNI and I have tried different approaches to solve the problem. For example I have tried to used DDD together with GDB to find out what the problem is but with no luck. When I run the application using jdk1.4 I get the following error when the JVM crashes:
    An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

    From this information I think that the problem should be in the native method setDebug. But I have tried to set a breakpoint at the beginning of that function in the C part but with no luck. The application crashes before it reaches that position in the C file.
    What could possibly go wrong between the setDebug function in the C part and the function call in the Java part?
    When using GDB, GDB cannot figure out what is wrong it just returns a hex address, no function name.
    I would really appreciate some help. I have tried everything that I can come up with!
    Best regards
    Lars

    I have figured out that the application fails on its first call to the native methods.
    So I have this Bitmap class that contains all the native calls and it is defined shortly as follow:
    public class Bitmap {
    static {
    System.loadLibrary("BitmapImpl");
    native void setDebug(int debuglevel, int statistics);
    There are many more native methods defined in Bitmap, but I only show the setDebug method because that is the first one that is executed and also the one that immediately fails.
    My setDebug C function is defined as follow in BitmapImpl.c
    #include <time.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <limits.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <jni.h>
    #include <math.h>
    #include <errno.h>
    #include "Bitmap.h"
    #include "data.h"
    jint debug = 0;
    jint statistics = 1;
    JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_Bitmap_setDebug
    (JNIEnv *jenv, jobject jo, jint d, jint s)
    debug = d;
    statistics = s;
    My libBitmapImpl.so file is compiled using the following Makefile and using GNU gcc:
    JAVAPATH=$(JAVAINCLUDEPATH)
    LMACRO=-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DSOLARIS
    CSOURCE=BitmapImpl.c
    all:
    gcc -O3 -G $(LMACRO) -I$(JAVAPATH) -I$(JAVAPATH)/solaris \
    $(CSOURCE) -o libBitmapImpl.so
    It is still a total mystory why the application fails. I have tried it on a RedHat Linux machine and there it works fine. But not on Solaris. Only if I use the jdk1.1.8 but not a later one.
    Would really appreiciate some help!
    Best regards

  • All video applications crash when loading a video. Including web browsers, vlc and quick time

    Last night chrome started crashing when trying to load a youtube video. I tried on safari and then downloaded firefox but they crashed too blaming flash player. Then when i tried to play a video using vlc that crashed too and so did quick time. Nothing will play in any application.   
    I've tried reinstalling the browsers, uninstalling and reinstalling flash player, repairing disk permissions, starting in safe mode and installing avast to scan for malware but none of these have made any difference. I haven't installed any updates since the last time it was working

  • Application crashes when making Comments in Acrobat Pro XI

    I'm using Acrobat Pro XI on an iMAC... I'm trying to make 'comments' to a pdf file I have created, but every time I type in the 'comment box' the application crashes. Is anyone else having the same problem, if so, have you been able to find a work around?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    What you may remember, and what is still in Acrobat Pro XI, is the ability to align form fields when in form editing mode.
    However, the new text editing features allow some degree of alignment. There is no align tool, nor an align command.
    If you're trying to align the baselines of text, I'd first show the rulers (View > Show/Hide > Rules & Grids > Rulers) and draw a guide from the ruler to the baseline of the first text frame. Then as you're moving a frame (and it can be tricky when the frames are small), you want the Move cursor (looks like the Move tool in Photoshop). If you do that you should see green alignment "smart guides" appear as you drag. Finally, while still in that mode, you can tweak the position of a text frame by using the arrow keys on your keyboard to move in approximately 1 point increments.
    I would also appreciate the ability to align like in a layout program like InDesign, but they haven't yet included it.

  • Application crashes when camera mode 7 is set

    Hi, I have written a small application that grabs images from the camera. The application also allows user to change the video modes and the ROI But I have a problem. Whenever I try to set mode 7 the application crashes. I am also handling the exception but it doesn;t go there. It simply crash. So can anybody help! I
    Thanks Farhat

    Hi Farhat,
      ok - I've sorted what was going on now with the crashing.
    you need to set the format, the mode and the framerate when you change the setup each time.
    I've put the ROI stuff back in - you might want to parse the setup to make sure that when you set the ROI it's not larger than you would normally expect (so a 320x200  max if that's the format you've chosen.

  • Application crashes when printing

    hi, whenever i try to print, the application crashes. this is the same regardless of which application im using,(opera, acrobat reader, neo office, etc.)
    im using a lexmark z1380 printer and an iMac with 10.5.6.
    any help greatly appreciated!

    I bumped into at least a partial answer trying to figure this out. It seems like the System/Library/Frameworks directories may have been corrupted. I recently installed the 2009-001 Security update (too soon to tell if that was the culprit). What I did to fix the printing problem was to Archive a copy of the System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework directory from my wife's MAC. I made an acrhive of the same directory from my Powerbook. I then deleted that directory. I copied the archive of my wife's MAC to my Deskptop and unzipped it. Then I MOVED - not Copied (Copy will not work) that entire directory from the Deskptop to the System/Library/Frameworks directory. This not only solved my problem with the Printing Crashing - it also solved the problem of my MAC not responding to either the Shutdown or Restart Options. Something definitely corrupted this directory structure. Note: You will need to supply the Authentication Password when you Move the Directory. Hope this helps.

  • Applications crashes when trying to print

    A number of applications such as iwork,PDF, etc. crashes when trying to print, I can print test pages and use other printer utilities functions on my HP 970 CXI.
    Creating new printer queue had no effect can any one suggest a solution. Thanks
    Imac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    DariusT,
    This may sound elementary but I turn off all print spoolers - print monitoring, background printing, etc. - as the very first test. This eliminates a whole class of issues, including some memory related questions.
    The version of the operating system can also be a factor. If you turn off the printer, delete laserwriter 8 preferences, turn on the printer, select the printer in chooser and try printing again you may solve some problems.
    You posted your question in the old folks home. Are you using an old computer? An iBook G4 processor is as new as a Mac Mini so I am assuming that this is a question that predates OS X. If this is an OS X printing problem, we need to shift mental gears or you may want to post your query again in a more modern forum. Post back will more details and we will try and help out.

    I've read and applied the troubleshooting tips from this knowledgebase article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147, and there is improvments. I have, also, created a new user account to see if I could reproduce the problem and find out that I can print anything without problems. Going back to the previous user account and the printing crashes are still there.
    So, I believe the problem is with this user account and not with the whole printing system. I just don't know where to look in the Library directory that can tell me what's causing this problem.
    Anyone had similar problem?
    P.S. It was printing OK a few minutes ago before apps started to crash.

  • IMovie 10.0 crash when sharing or just idle

    My first attempt at using the MBP as advertised on Apple commercials: Putting together a string of iPhone videos.
    When sharing iMovie just crashes. Now it just crashes when I launch it.
    The top center part of the keyboard becomes really hot and the lines below seem to indicate a GPU driver or hardware problem.
    Concerning? Should I get my hardware checked out? This baby is 10 days old.
    This is when iMovie crashes when sharing via email or file:

    I still have the same problem, even after the 10.0.1 update.
    Should I bring the computer back? Could it be that the gfx card is overheating?
