Been having some stability issues particularly with software...

(as opposed to the OS), but i notice that numerous applications crash on their own. I'm thinkging i may need to dump my plist files for all of my apps...but wanted to see if there was anything else i should try first...since resetting all thos preferences will be somewhat of an inconvenience....and very time consuming...
any help?

um ok...well yeah it's numerous applications...and sometimes the specific app will freeze for a moment before crashing with the whole "close, reopen, and whatever" pane opens up....others, no freezing at all, just the pane pops up. I AM typically using the programs that are crashing, though not necessarily doing anything heavy or complicated, just a normal function of whatever app...
More recently I've had a couple of stranger issues like with Mail, when the pane is minimized or hidden, and I click on the alias i have on my dock, a new Finder window would open up for a while...that happened everytime i clicked it a couple of days ago....I tried force quitting (regular quit wouldn't work) several times, and at some point after several repeated tries, it went back to normal....
With Safari, though I DID have an inordinate number of Tabs open, more than would fit on the width of the pane, when I would click on one tab to make it active, the tab that was two tabs over to the left would be the one to activate instead...so that was weird ...
but mostly it's the full on cashing of apps where i get the option to close or report or reopen (i believe those are the 3 things)
i have 2gb ram..the max for my desktop. My HD is 120 GB, and I have been loading it up quite abit, running out of space more than a few times, though there doesn't seem to be an specific correlation to the timing of the crashing apps as they don't seem to happen when i get the disk space low warning....so i dunno if that could be part of it?
not using classic....

  • Having Some Mail issues on Apple Mail 5.2

    Hi All - Having some mail issues lately with my gmail account Imap set up.
    I can receive mail but when trying to send mail it pops up with the follwoing:
    "Can not send message using the server smtp.gmail.com"
    I tried deleting the gmail account on my iMac and setting it up again.  in the set up  It gives me two choices as an outgoing server:
    smtp.gmail.com and just Gmail.   If I choose Gmail I can send the messages, but is this secure?  I've always used smtp.gmail.com for outgoing without any problems.
    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Thanks for responding BGreg - Yes everything looks OK under the advanced tab (see below)  I never had any
    "Red Dots" in connection doctor on the old smtp.gmail.com but it wouldn't work.  The new outgoing server - labeled merely Gmail works and appears to be the same as smtp.gmail.com, but I've never seen this in the past - it's always been called smtp.gmail.com   I wonder if Google changed the name?

  • I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

    I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

    Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.

  • Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

    Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

    Yes, BUT...
    ... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
    Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
    I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.

  • I have an iMac with Mavericks that is experiencing a lot of "spinning balls" from particularly Mail, Google Chrome, and Word. I took it to the Apple store and it was fast there, at home slow. I have been having internet speed issues, could it be that?

    I have a pretty new iMac with LOTS of storage (about 4TB with externals) that is experiencing a lot of "spinning balls of death" from time to time in almost any program that I might have open, but particularly MacMail, Google Chrome browsers, and Word. I took it to the Apple store to be checked out and it was really fast with no issues there. I brought it home and it was better at first but then it started happening again.
    I have been having a lot of issues with Time Warner where my download speeds will dip really low, and all I can think of is that MacMail goes and tries to check for email and can't get out to the internet and it locks all the other resources up while it is doing it. It will also take a REALLY long time to even let you look at mail. The folder size is over 13GB (down from 22GB that I just cleared out from - I have a lot of MP3s etc in there) and I will try to get this down to under 10GB which might help, and the mail is on an external drive. I have been told that Verizon is not a shared network but a direct connection to their server, and if I can't fix this then I will try switching to them. If anyone has any direct knowledge on this stuff, I am all ears.

    We need to know more about your system, please download EtreCheck and run the report and please post it on your next reply. Then we can see how your system is configured, what apps are on it and look for anything obvious. We will look forward to seeing your report.

  • I have been having some issues with my iPod touch.  I can't transfer songs that I have purchased on my iPod into my iTunes library.  Please help!

    I have been having a lot of issues with my iPod touch.  Whatever I purchase on my iPod I can't seem to transfer it to my iTunes library.  If something should happen to my iPod, I wouldn't want to lose all of the music I have purchased.  I can't upgrade it either because a box pops up that says everything will be erased from my iPod... I need help!

    Might be an authorization issue in iTunes. Try deauthorizing your computer through the Store menu at the top of iTunes and then authorizing it again. Once that is done try transferring purchases from the iPod Touch.

  • Having some Captivate issues...

    I have having a couple issues that were not fixed with the
    1.01 update.
    1) After I publish a movie, Captivate will sometimes close,
    without saving anything at all. The movie is fully published,
    however the software basically crashes after it has been published.
    (This doesn't happen everytime, but maybe once out of ever 10
    movies)
    2) When the software is started, the loading screen does not
    always display, I sometimes have to minimize all windows, and then
    click on the loading screen in order for Captivate to have its own
    tab on the taskbar. The loading image will appear when I minimize
    all windows, and when I click on the loading image, it will then
    create the Macromedia Captivate tab that appears on the taskbar.
    3) Captivate cannot handle multiple movies open at the same
    time. I noticed that when I publish with more than one Captivate
    movie open, the software crashes. By crash, I mean the program
    closes the entire movie without saving any changes at all.
    I'm running a fully updated XP w/ SP2. I've disabled all
    startup processes that are not needed, as well as tried with Norton
    turned off- it still didn't work.

    quote:
    For the issue listed as #1, have you tried changing the
    output location to a folder very near the root of the C drive? I've
    seen issues reported where the path was longer than Captivate
    likes, and this can cause issues.
    - I tried C:\Demos, and have had it continue to happen. I
    normally do not put the finished product in that location, but I do
    remember it failing twice when it was at C:\Demos
    quote:
    I have several programs that behave the same way such as
    Firefly, Oracle, and a few others in which I launch the app but it
    does not display in the taskbar until the application gets past the
    splash screen.
    - That's different. I said I have to click on the main logo
    in order for the Captivate taskbar icon to appear, I really hope
    that wasn't the intention of the developers.
    quote:
    As for issue listed as #3, I'm assuming you are referring to
    having multiple instances of Captivate running simultaneously? I'm
    assuming this as Captivate is a single project application. You can
    only work on one project at a time. I also know that Captivate does
    seem to be resource hungry. I'm not sure I've ever tried (nor had
    the need) to open more than two different instances simultaneously.
    So how many are you opening? Surely not 100!
    - Your assumption is correct. That's a shame that the
    developers left out a notice that didn't allow you to open multiple
    instances. Hopefully we'll either get a notice when we try it in
    the future, or get support for multiple movies open at the same
    time, in future Captivate releases.
    I've done about 3 before Captivate starts to act funny. It
    has enough trouble with 2. I think I got up to 8 before Captivate
    crashed.
    I'm really looking forward to the new version of Captivate,
    is there an area to address feature requests/suggestions/bug fixes
    for the next release?

  • I have been having 2 MAJOR issues for the last few months:

    I have been having MAJOR issues for the last few months:
    1.) My iTunes keeps shutting down on me, after 5-10 minutes of being opened and starting updates, or if I play music. I restart iTunes and it just does it over and over again.
    2.) I have homesahring ON on both my desktop PC and my AppleTV 2nd gen, but my AppleTV cannot access the computer. I have restarted and reset both PC and AppleTV over and over, but still no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Only that you may wish to resolve issue 1 before looking at #2. The best forum for that would be the iTunes for windows community.

  • Been having a lot of problems with blackberry, fixed them but now SD card is not being recognized.

    Lately, I've been having a lot of problems. My phone is only a year old. My phone would be fully charged, then 10 minutes later die for no reason & would not turn back on. I decided to buy a new battery & try it out. Gladly, it worked.
    I also decided to wipe everything on my phone then restore the phone to my previous back up. This worked. This morning,as I was playing music, the pause button did not want to work. I didn't think much of it. Later today, when I restarted my phone because it was lagging, when it restarted, my blackberry was not recognizing my SD media card.
    I find this very strange. It is 4 GB &is a lexar. I have already tried formatting the card, this has not worked.
    I have tried almost everything.
    Please help!
    I use my SD card daily due to work related things.
