Crashing problem on iMac

Since no one from Adobe is actually going to address this problem and it's a problem that has significant impacts on my work, I'll ask again. I work on an iMac and use Adobe Acrobat via Creative Cloud. Acrobat crashes on me multiple times a day. Literally, over 20 times in a few hours once. I just turned on my computer 20 minutes ago and the program has already crashed. I regularly update everything and I have no idea why this program sucks so bad. It's also regardless of PDF. I could download a brand new PDF and it'll crash or I could download a PDF I've had since 2009 and it'll crash.

Hey deborahl8535281,
I am really sorry for the trouble that has caused to you.
Could you please let me know what exact version of MAC OS are you using.
Do you have any anti-virus installed that might interfere? Try disabling it and then check.
Let me know, please.
Regards,
Anubha

How do I fix a FINDER crash problem in 10.6.8

I recently, in the last 10 days, started having a FINDER crash problem with my iMac 24" (iMac9,1) Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz computer.
I have 4 GB of ram installed, no external hard disks installed.
It seems to crash when I have five or more applications open, but it is not consistant.
When it freezes or crashes, I get the spinning ball. I open the Force Quit Window with comand, option, escape and it show Finder not responding.
I click on Finder and tell it to relaunch. It does nothing. At that point I cannot even go to the APPLE icon on the dock and do a shutdown or restart.
From that point on, I have to press and hold the START button to shut the computer down.
I have checked the hard disk integrity with Disk Utility after starting on the Snow Leopard 1.6 install disk. everything shows good.
I have repaired permissions using the same application. I then restart the computer and log back in.
I have used Onyx for Snow Leopard version 2.3.1 to do some maintenance routines.
I have checked the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive and it passes.
I have verified that the Daily, Weekly, Monthly routines have been run. They have.
I have executed the Cleaning tab to include the following cache files:

Short of taking this computer, packing it up, and hauling it down to the Apple Store for the 'Genius' to poke around in it, I am at a brick
wall as to what to do next. (I am useing this same computer to enter this message).
Here's hoping someone on the forum will have an answer.

P.S. Does APPLE Technicians ever read these discussion questions and interject their 'Expert' knowledge?

/Library/Preferences is where you will find that file.

HT203477 New Itunes causes crashing problems with FCP X

Since I uptdated my OS X and iTunes, I am experiencing several crashes of my Imac 27. Anyone has the some problems ? Any solutions ?

Hi Tom,
My whole computer is crashing and when I run Techtools pro 7 to repair permissions, there are so many files of the latest version of iTunes that are detected to be repaired.
I am also using Bitdefender as antivirus. Can Bitdefender be the cause ?
Most likely. These "antiviruses" often cause more harm than they prevent.

IDVD crashes on my iMac 24'' with Leopard

However, iDVD crashes on my iMac 24'' (old version). It works fine on my MacBook.
I tried a lot of things including reinstalling and updating to Leopard 10.5.1 and iDVD 7.0.1. But still is crashing after start. As I would like to burn my marriage I really need to have it running.
Any further help is welcome. I feel that the NVidia driver for Leopard are **bad**

Hi iscger,
I've had the same problem, only after having kernel panics first.
You might find usefull information in the following topic.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1203323&tstart=0
Somewhere near the end I have posted a summary.
Just to my interest. Did iDVD work at first? Have you created a project already? Or did iDVD freeze the first time you used it.

ITunes 7 crash problem work-around

Until Apple fixes the never-should've-been-released iTunes 7, this is what I've come up with as a work-around: Go back to iTunes 6.0.5
Simpler said then done.
1) First thing is remove that godforsaken iTunes 7 from your Applications folder.
2) Next thing you need to do is delete your iTunesX.pkg file from HD>Library>Receipts so that when you try to install 6.0.5 your computer doesn't block the installation because it thinks iTunes already is installed.
3) Third, go to your Music folder and create a new folder (call it "For when Apple fixes iTunes 7" or something like that); move the iTunes folder into this new folder, otherwise when you start up iTunes 6 it will tell you that all your music is formatted for iTunes 7 and the program won't even open.
4) Fourth, go here and download iTunes 6.0.5
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/itunes605.html
5) Install iTunes 6.0.5
6) Open iTunes 6.0.5
7) In iTunes, Click on File>Add to library... go to that iTunes folder that you stuck in that new folder called "For when Apples fixes iTunes 7" in step 3. Highlight all the albums you want and click Choose or Open or whatever it says
8) Depending on the volume, it will take a while to copy all the music files. It's a two-step process: first they appear in your iTunes library greyed out, then eventually they are fully copied and become live.
Good luck!
G5 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Somehow the audio output setting in audio midi setup got set to 96000Hz. I changed back to 44100Hz and this seems to have fixed my crashing problem.
I hope this helps some other frustrated peeps.
Normally, you only have to worry about this changing when 3rd party apps are installed, but it sure seems like either the iTunes 7 or Quicktime update were the culprits this time. Another symptom that this setting may be incorrect is that you get no sound at all from flash content.

Crash Problem with MacBook Pro

I just bought a nice, new MacBook Pro yesterday. I also have an iMac that I have absolutely no problems with, but the MacBook Pro is another story. It has crash problems that rival that of my Windows machines, and they seem rather random.
I used to have the problem when running software update. I was downloading updates through my wireless network, and the system would just get to a certain point in the downloads, and then boom! The screen would get a bit darker, and I'd get a message that said I needed to restart the computer. I did some messing around and then finally did the "Repair File Permissions." Then, I was able to download the updates, but I did so one or two at a time. I also used the "Verify Disk," and found no problems.
It seemed that all was good and well until today. After running a long time with no crashes, I had this problem again while reading some articles on Wikipedia. It just came out of nowhere. I restarted and so far haven't crashed, and I hope I submit this before it goes down again.
Does anyone know what can cause this or what to do about it? Any help will be appreciated.
David

Well, now it has happened again. Just after I got the post up, I got what must be the Mac OS equivalent of the "Blue Screen of Death." All of this happened while I was using the Internet wirelessly. I also have a Bluetooth mouse on this system, but the system crashed even when I wasn't using it. At least this computer starts up quickly.

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

HT4650 my safari keeps crashing on my iMac. anyone know why. this keeps happening after 10 seconds or so. any ideas?

SAFARI keeps crashing on my Imac.
I have checked for virus software and appear to have none.
I have checked the automatic safari address that loads, which mysteriously had a ,http/ with a coma infront of the default website address to load on safari. I have changed this so the default website is back to apple without the , before the address.
Can anyone suggest what I do next. I keep getting an error message after 3-10 seconds.

And have you loaded any optimizers/add-ons/accelerators/anti-malware tools/etc or similar?
Any (free or paid) product that was advertised as helpful?
Any Safari extensions loaded?

Virtually any DVD burner that can connect to your Mac will work. They start at $40 on Amazon.

I'm not sure what's up at this point, if doing a Save As and deleting your render files doesn't fix your glitch (and assuming you've got adequate, freshly defragmented room on your drives for the program to work).
You can also try working through Adobe's troubleshooting steps:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/514/cpsid_51427.html
Renaming the presets folder can help. (The program will automatically make a new one when you next launch it):
Windows XP:
Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/ Adobe/Premiere Elements/8.0/MediaIO/Presets/OTHERS
Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/ Adobe/Premiere Elements/8.0/Settings/Custom
    Windows Vista:
Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Premiere Elements/8.0/SC/Presets

Hi,
Please give this a try: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)

I created a new profile to fix a crashing problem and now I can't get my bookmarks.

Creating the new profile has fixed my crashing problem and I copied the recommended files and folders from my old profile to my new one but I still can't get my bookmarks. What am I doing wrong?

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
