Circling the drain; Word= unexpected quit @ startup

Funny how things accumulate....
ok, I just fixed the "Verify Disk"
logged in. Reinstalled Office X. Put in code. Start Word app: Unexpected Quit.
Any thoughts? What vulnerability did the Word app have to require the patches/updates? (I'll google search for this)
Is there a chance of QT 7.1.3 being incompatible with Word from Office X?
Is it bad to update an app that is experiencing "unexpected quit" errors?

A bit more information, when double clicking a Word document... the app opens and seems fine...??? Sooo, apparently the Icon for the original app is corrupted?? Is there a Icon (Apple+I) preference that may be in need of changing?
(oooh, I hate this font with no cross bars on a capital "i". "I" Who uses this one? It should be banned... wiped from memory. Is that a 1 or an i or an lower case L? Lower case L=l Upper case i=I ?!?!?!brilliant!)
Several other bits of info:
Icon within Applications folder= no start
Icon from Dock=no start
Open document= start ok
(same for all Office X apps)

My iPhoto is not working, it quit unexpecly and it shows this message- The application "iPhoto" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?

i can't open my iPhoto, it was working very slow and now its not working at all, when i try to open it it shows this message: The application “iPhoto” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?
how can i fix this problem?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

The application has unexpectedly quit???

Hello,
I have been using iMovie, and iDVD for a few years now. Nothing fancy, just home videos, but I really enjoy it, and I feel very good when a project is done and I can share it with my family.
My most recent project is a group of iMovies based on the first 4 years of my middle daughter's life. I title each movie by year (1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993). Each movie has titles, transitions, soundtrack music, and "chapters" added, all standard iMovie stuff.
My problem is that this project will not work. The project starts out fine, just like always, with the little sideways barber pole spinning away, but when I come back several hours later to check on it, there is a window stating that the "application has unexpectedly quit" and asking me if I want to submit a report to apple. This has not happened before.
The first time it happened, I did all the things I have learned to do when iMovie tries to act up or give me trouble, specifically: I deleted the iDVDplist, I "repaired permissions", and I even ran "Cacheout X" and restarted my computer. But after all that, when I tried the project again, it "unexpectedly quit" again.
I don't know what to do now? I have read that many people have had trouble with iDVD chapters being placed at transitions. I thought this must be a problem with the new iDVD5, because I have always placed chapters at transitions (and at the very beginning of a project) and I have never had a problem before.
Since I don't know what else to do, I am going to go back and move the chapters around avoiding the beginning, and any transitions, and see if that makes a difference. Other than that, can anyone suggest anything else I could try?
Would upgrading to iLIFE '05 help? I actually own it. I have had the box sitting on my desk for months, but I have been reluctant to load it because of many of the problems that I have read about in these forums. In my case, iDVD4 has been working very reliably for me, and my thought was "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" Well, now it seems to be broken, so, should I try to fix it?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Lincoln

Thank you David,
I appreciate your advise. As you suggested, I went back and moved all the chapters from each of the iMovies. I have never NOT placed a chapter at the very beginning of a project, and it seems strange for the "2nd" chapter to be listed as chapter #1 (since the first chapter "Beginning" is implied), but--- it worked!
It is hard to say exactly what worked, because I also created an entirely new project. It was an exact duplicate of the original project in every way (except for the new chapter locations), but I simply couldn't figure out how to "update" the original project after I made the changes, and I thought that making a new project would be the easiest thing.
So it is probably the chapter changes that fixed it, but perhaps there was some wierd problem with the first project. The other thing I was wondering about was that this project was less than 2 hours long, but not by much. When I looked at the "Status" section, I had used 3.8 of the available 4.0GB for video.
But the bottom-line is that I am very happy that the project is complete, and I continue to be amazed at the high quality movies and DVD's I am able to create with the iLIFE programs.
Now that this crisis is over, what is your opinion of iLIFE '05? Should I take the plunge and load it up, or keep working with programs that I am happy with? I must admit that I would love to have access to the new "THEMES" in iDVD, but as you can plainly see, I am simply not computer saavy enough to handle any of the new problems that I have read so much about in the iMovieHD, and iDVD5 discussion groups.
Thanks again,
Lincoln

The application 'Finder' unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.

Hello All. I solicit your help and advice please.
When I started up on my Macbook Pro (v10.7.5) this morning the Finder icon was flashing along with a flashing message that states "Restore Windows. The application 'Finder' unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?" This has never happened before.
Unfortunately, when I try to select "Restore Windows", it will not respond and keeps flashing. I shut down and tryed a restart but the same thing has happened and I have now lost my Desktop icons and screensaver. Can anyone help me? Thanks very much!
<Re-Titled By Host>

Hello Brody, and Thank you for responding.
I have been on the phone with Apple Support for awhile and they cannot completely diagnose the problem after many attempts at deleting plist files, etc. This one has them scratching their heads a bit (I must say they have been Excellent with their time and effort).
We have reesatblished "Finder" operationally and I have been able to restore and access most files but the problem was resident on the Deskstop I may have to visit the "Genius Desk" for follow-up as necessary.
I much appreciate your response and am very glad for the Community. Thank you again.

Compressor 4 crashes on opening keep getting this warning: The application “Compressor” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again? Tried Restoring windows. It crashes again. Tried not = Same result. This is the first time I've actually used the app although I purchased it back in April (I think). I had my first longform project completed in FCPX and tried sending it to Compressor 4 and got this result over and over again.

Steve,
Sorry to say I've not had any success in getting Compressor 4 to work. I've tried every suggestion mentioned earlier on this topic to no avail. Compressor 4 is dead in the water. On the last two projects I had to go back to Compressor 3.x.xx to complete the projects. The only hint that I have of wha may have happened concerns something I did early on. When I bought this computer I decided to replace the hard drive with a larger one. Since I already had my software up and working on the drive that came with the computer I decided to clone everything to the new larger drive. As I recall, Compressor 4 worked on the original drive but it doesn't work on this cloned version. So maybe there is a relationship there. I haven't had a chance yet to reinstall my old drive and see if C 4 works on it. If it does work then I know the source of the problem but not how to fix it on the new drive. Did you do anything like cloning your drive recently too? It's just a thought and may not lead anywhere but later this week when I catch a break I'll give the old drive a try and will post my results.
Thanks,
Peter

Has anyone really solved the "Media server unexpectedly quit" error?

I've seen many posts and suggested solutions, but no definitive solution. This is a severe problem for Final Cut Pro, and it's presently keeping me from doing any kind of work with this software.
Thanks for any help on this!!

Greg,
This solved the problem for me.
"In Compressor, if the "Video Format" is set to "Automatic", Batch Monitor fails (with the "Media Server unexpectedly quit" error).
changing the Video Format to NTSC and the frame rate to 29.97 (but leaving the Field Dominance on Automatic), the job submits and processes fine."
Make Video Format PAL and the frame rate 25, if working with PAL sources.
Good luck,

"The application sed unexpectedly quit"

I keep getting a "The application sed unexpectedly quit" message. Sometimes it's there waiting for me when I quit an app like Photoshop or Final Cut, sometimes it appears after the machine has been idle for a long time. I've run all the diagnostic software I can think of, replaced a pair of RAM sticks after one turned up bad, reinstalled the last combo update, etc. And otherwise, the machine seems to run pretty normally. I've had more crashes in the last month or so than in the previous 5 or 6 years. This also roughly coincides with the 10.4.11 update, but not necessarily from the exact day that I ran the update. I'm no Mac virgin, I've been on the platform since the mid 80's, but also don't mess around with much command line stuff... so the Unix underbelly is pretty foreign to me. Anyone have any insight on a) what sed is, and b) why it crashes?
Thanks.

I appreciate everyone's investigative help! It's been driving me mad. Whatever it is, it apparently restarts itself after crashing. I get the message, send the report to Apple (a few dozen times so far), and then without rebooting, it eventually pops up again. There doesn't seem to be any loss of functionality that I can trace to it, although all kinds of things have been goofy since the 10.4.11 update. It happens whether there's an application running or not, so I'm assuming it's related to the system itself.

The Microsoft Word suddenly quit on my iMac desktop. How can I access the documents saved in desktop ?

What made the Microsoft Word ( 2011) quit on my iMac desktop ( OSX10.10.1 ) suddenly ?
I need to access the documents saved on my desktop. Please help, anybody ?

Okay, so then go to the folder where you saved them, and open them

ITunes 5 - The application has unexpectedly quit.

I kept getting "The application has unexpectedly quit" message when trying to launch iTunes 5. If I logged out and logged back in again, then I could open it, but I'm not gonna do that everytime I want to launch iTunes.
Anyway, I had 2 Scripts in the Library/iTunes/Scripts folder under my user folder, (i.e. Dan/Library/iTunes/Scripts). When I removed the scripts from the folder, iTunes launched without crashing.
Then, to try to determine if that was the cause of the problem, I quit iTunes, put the scripts back in the folder, tried to launch iTunes again, and got the application has unexpectedly quit" message again.
So, I've taken the scripts out of the folder, and it's working again. Then, I noticed that there used to be a little Script icon in the menu bar, but now it's not there. Maybe Apple doesn't want the scripting option there.

I think the problem may be memory. 64mbs of ram with osx is apparently not enough. But any other ideas would still be appreciated. I'll get back once I get more ram in.

Appleworks 6 and ms word unexpectedly quit

Both AW6 and Word failed to open. I reinstalled AW6, but was unable to open earlier documents and new documents---received the "unexpectedly quit" notice. MS word stopped opening too. I cleared the cache, the com.appleworklists, etc. but nothing seems to working. Any suggestions?

The two most likely causes are a)having a Unicode keyboard layout selected, or b) a corrupt font. Please see these threads:

I tried to copy 2,000 photos from iPhoto (v9.2) to Photoshop Elements 13 Organizer. It looked like they all copied, but then I got a crash report that the program had unexpectedly quit. I can't get back in to remove any photos. What do I do now?

I have repeatedly tried to re-open PE13 Organizer with no luck. The first time there was a message that the catalog was being organized and then it crashed. From that time on, I only get a crash message that it unexpectedly quit. How can I get the photos off the organizer so I can open it back up again? Thanks!
zna2212

zna22121,
Close computer down, and restart. If it does not work, it should, then re-install. But, do not attempt more than 200 at a time it just cannot handle it ?
Good luck
Ps. I just dislike Organiser, (it is too slow, and disorganised) you can go from PE 13 Editor ( My wife tried it and went back to PE 6 ) and Process Multiple Files only 200 at a time. in Photoshop Elements, Organizer may handle it ?
We often do video production stills of 2,000 from PE 6 and we know it works ,when you use the images in Adobe CS5.5.2 Premiere Pro..for HD & Blue -ray transfers.. It is very easy ?

The application "LibreOffice" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?

This seems to be a wellknown problem but I have not been able to find a solution to it on the net. It is impossible to remove the program because it can not be shut down. I'm a new mac user, please help!

Any Mac program can be force quit. 1) if the application appears in the Dock, right click on its icon while holding the option key. 2) hold the option & command key while typing the escape key to get the force quit menu. 3) open the Activity Monitor and select the My Processes tab. Now look for your program by name and click on the force quit button in the top left corner.

Word on Mac OS X 10.5.8 "unexpectedly quit"

Last night my Word "unexpectedly quit" and I was unable to
relaunch. I am sure I goofed up - because Word went nuts -
I had been able to open to a blank document and see a
formatting toolbar - now it takes two steps, first to get
a blank document and then to get a toolbar - which is
not "attached" to the blank document. Also in Project
Gallery, "labels" for instance no longer shows, and I have
to go to "Tools" in the menu bar.
I did some research on-line and got a bunch of different
recommendations - some I didn't understand; none worked.
Is this a lost cause? Or is there a way to get back to my
"old self"? THANKS!!!

Is your Microsoft word application in your /Applications folder, inside your Microsoft Office folder? That's where it should be... if you move apps out of their folders, you confuse your system. Did you move any /Library folders, or /Library/Receipts, or Users/yourname/Library?
If you have to re-install Office, go to /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Additional Tools/Remove Office/Remove Office.app
To re-install, you will need the disc.

How do I get iTunes back when I get the error message ; the application "I Tunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows. Do you want to restore it's windows?

how do I get ITunes back when I get the error message :
The application "ITunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows. Do you want to restore it's windows?
I already tried reloading ITunes and it still doesn't startup.

You didn't mention but are you still running a version of iPhoto older than iPhoto 11?
If yes, then go to the App Store and purchase the iP 11 app and install it. Back up your photo library first.
Once iP 11 is installed and has imported all your photos do a restart of the Mac.
This should resolve most issues with iTunes 10.6 and you should be able to run iTunes and sync up your iOS devices.
