Crashing when loading songs

7.2.1
I had one song open, and asked it to open another while keeping the first open (admittedly they're both big songs, lots of VSL EXS's) and it hung while opening the 2nd song. I Force Quit, and now it won't open either song, gets so far thru the loading process of EXS's then quits...
Any ideas?

I might sound like an IT guy here... (won't say re-start your Mac, that's a PC thing!), but go back to your install discs and do a re-install, then get the update from the auto-updater (to get back to 7.2.1) - when I first put Logic onto my Mac I had a similar thing and that cured it - I think I'd corrupted one of the plug-in preferences which the re-install cleaned up for me.

How do i have iTunes only read the songs from my hard drive, rather then copying them?

Further GarageBand crashes when loading lessons ...

Hi All,
I've GarageBand installed on a Mac mini server (the new Apple ones). When I try to open any lesson it silently crashes. The
I've seen the other thread with similar title and tried replacing the "Gill Sans.ttf" font with a "Gill Sans.dfont" from another system. Rebooted. Still crashes.
I've fixed permissions. Still crashes.
I tried deleting everything - everything - GarageBand related on disk and reinstalled and updated. Same problem. Crashes when loading lessons.

Have you tried to delete the downloaded version from the Applications folder and to reinstall from the AppStore? Perhaps the download was incomplete.
If that is not the problem, check all your Audio Units, and other plug-ins like VST plug-ins for compatibility, see: GarageBand for Mac (v10.0): Unexpected behavior with Audio Units plug-ins

Logic crashes when loading preferences

hi!
can anyone please help? for some reason logic has started crashing when loading the preferences. i noticed for some reason it was playing through the built in audio rather than my motu interface, so i tried loading the preferences to change it and it just crashes every time. this has happened since i reinstalled logic studio 8, because it was giving me an error message on startup that caused it to crash. the error message i was getting was saying i have the wrong pro applications support installed (of which i could not alter or upgrade for some reason). so i went for a reinstall.. and now this other problem. any help would be greatly appreciated!
i am running logic studio 8.0.2 on a powermac dual 2ghz G5
with 3gb ram and osx 10.5.3

Don't wipe your hard disk! (yet)
It's probably that your preferences have become corrupted. Go to User/Library/Preferences and trash your Logic preferences (com.apple.logic.pro.cs & com.apple.logic.pro.plist).
Reopen Logic and see what happens. The only problem is that you will lose all your keyboard commands etc., but they're a lot easier to recreate than reinstalling and authorising everything onto your hard drive.
Also, make a copy of your preferences once you've set everything up so that if you need to trash your preferences again sometime in the future, you can just replace them with the copies you've made.
I guess if none of this works then you may need reinstall Logic and, at worst everything else.

IPhoto crashes when loading

iPhoto crashes when loading. I am on 9.1.2 & I think this may have started after the update was applied on the 27/4 and the error message does not mean much to me

That's a different crash. When you re-installed, did you delete the receipts first?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Satellite L500-19x crashes when loading software from dvd

Satellite L500-19x crashes when loading software from dvd. This is photoshop elements 9. Other software generally loads ok, but not always.

Hi shownomercer,
Have you tried the Photoshop disk in another computer to check if the installation disk is ok or not?
What happens exactly when the computer crashes? Bluescreen?

Safari keeps crashing when loading large data on web pages

I have owned my iPad 3 for more than a year now and I have never encountered this problem but ever since I have updated to the latest iOS version(7.1.1), my safari keeps crashing on my community site where threads have maybe over a 100 comments in them.
Now whenever I open a thread page on Safari, it loads for a few seconds then crashes, to make things worse for me is one in a while when it crashes, it reboots my iPad. I have seen several similar questions asked by other people regarding safari crashing when loading large amounts of data and got help saying that there's something wrong with the CSS. or something but I never got any idea on how to resolve this bug.
Can anyone tell me how do I prevent my Safari from crashing everytime I open a thread? Any solutions? Because I am getting really ******.
(Ps: I have already tried other browsing apps such as Google Search and Chrome, they still crash. I even tried letting it load half-way and then stopping it but it isn't going well.)

I have restored my iOS devices a number of times in order to resolve issues and it has gone very smoothly every time. I am not going to lie, it takes a fair amount of time to backup, restore the iOS and then restore from the backup, but it could very well resolve the issue.
On the other hand, it may not help at all. Restoring the software is a standard troubleshooting measure And that is why it is recommended when other suggestions aren't working. But before you restore, there are a couple of other things that you could try,
Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will not lose any data when you do this, but it does take some time to enter all of the device settings again, so be aware of that.
Another thing to try is to erase the device and start over. This is different than restoring to factory settings. Reads rhis for more information.

Firefox crashes when loading certain pages. ID: d9839212-23dd-4214-94a1-8a7db2100704

Firefox crashes when loading certain pages. Often pages with video content
== Crash ID(s) ==
ID: d9839212-23dd-4214-94a1-8a7db2100704

The crash reports indicates the crashes may be caused by a file named mcbrwctl.dll, that file is part of McAfee Site Advisor. Try disabling the McAfee Site Advisor to see if that stops the crashes.
To do that, in the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager. Select the Extensions panel, then in the list of extensions select McAfee Site Advisor then click on the Disable button. Re-start Firefox to complete the process.
For info McAfee Site Advisor has caused various problems with Firefox for quite a few people.

Music crashes when loading a Smart Playlist

Whenever I try to load a Smart Playlist, it crashes the Music app. I tried making the playlist smaller, and it helped some, it's still extremely slow in opening - much more so than a much larger playlist I created myself. Worse, if it crashes while playing the playlist (if I can even get it to that point), Music can no longer be used until the playlist is removed and the phone resynced as it just crashes immediately.

I am having the same issue running iOS 5 on a 64gb iPhone 4S.
My Smart Playlists generally lag a little bit when loading, but one particular Smart Playlist, which is rather large, takes a long time to load. If I don't do anything, it will load eventually, but we're talking a few minutes before it does. Once I get it to load, it usually loads quicker if I leave the list and go back to it.
Reading other posts from folks having this same issue on their iPads, the general consensus seems to be a limitation of the processor. The system has the criteria by which to identify all songs belonging to the playlist, so my guess is that when you pull it up, the list populates on the spot according to that criteria. The bigger the list, the longer it takes.
Hopefully this is a bug that can be fixed in upcoming updates.

Logic crashes when opening song with EXS instrument

I'm having problem opening a L7 song that contains and EXS instrument. Can't get song open before logic crashes.
The song loads except for the exs file (stock sample in default library). "Loading audio files" for the EXS gets to the last wav file of the patch then stops, the command-period to cancel doesn't work. Logic freezes and L7 "not responding" and have to force quit. Ironically, this EXS patch works in a new song when loaded.
I think i have tried everything with project manager scans and prefs: rescanned project manager, removed the scans, changed all the project manager pref settings ("search using pm database only", unselected "pm on program launch", etc)
Its not just this song but backups / previous versions. Trashed logic preferences, etc but no change. This song also uses ewqlso (loads fine) but i have reduced the buffer on that and there should not be any memory problems.
Thanks for your help.
Michael

Finally I got the free time to explin wht happened. Well, here is what happened to this particular corrupted song. I have heard rumours abound about OSX updates and EWQLxx but i have absolutely no proof of this just like I originally thought this was an EXS problem.
Anyways, I found a solution - With core audio disabled I emptied logic trash via key command, but did NOT reorganize song memory. That was the kicker for some strange reason.
So I think I figured out what some already know here but trying the three combinations (trash only, reorg only, or both together) may help solve similar issues.
Good luck, this one really blows under a tight deadline.

Itunes 10.2.2 crash when syncing songs into Iphone 4.3.2

Just got my iPhone two days ago and as I sat in front of my computer, I was excited about syncing my playlists into my iPhone4 32GB (over 2000 songs). Unexpectedly, it crashed during the process of ''20 out of 2000''. So I thought ''oh, maybe I'm syncing too many at a time?'', I turned the iPhone to maually handle on the songs and decided to put the playlists in one by one BUT it STILL crashes. I was able to put in one whole playlist (one album) at a time but halfway the second playlist, iTunes crashes. Happens EVERYTIME, it's fine if I just plug-in for charging, crashes during sync but it also crashed when I was attempting to download and upgrade my iphone from 4.3 to 4.3.2. I suspect it may be the computer's problem because I uprgraded fine without any crashes on my Acer laptop.
I've never had this problem before with my iPod Classic 120GB and I'm syncing the same number of songs. I'm operating on Windows XP Professional.
Any help? D:

And sometimes, itunes would refuse to detect my phone and give me the pop-up message ''The iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.''

Mainstage 2 crashing when loading concert made on another mac

My Mainstage [2.2.2 on Lion] crashes when I try to load a concert created on someone else's mac. I have tried loading it several times but it crashes every time. Any ideas why this might be? I would post a crash report but it never finally crashes just endless spinning colour wheel and 'stuck' loading status bar!

Hi thecamptain,
If the version of the concert you´re try to load is different than yours than probably that´s the problem.
Some missing plug-in may lead to it. Can you tell what´s the content of the concert? guitar setup, how many patchs, etc.
You could try this:
Export (Command + E) each patch or export the set by click on it
Then Import (Comand + I) it to a new concert in your Mac
Post your results
Hope i´ve helped you

Photoshop crashes when loading a file or image

Using Photoshop cs3 on a PC with Windows 7 installed.
Major Problem: Photoshop gives no response when opening an image of any sort or psd file which ends out with the options to either close the program or close and find a solution online which gives no solution whatsoever.
PScs3 was working just fine when installed but after installing an NVIDIA plug-in did it start bearing some problems. When loading png files, a window normally appears telling me that Photoshop could not parse the file. After seeing this I went to uninstall the plug-in. The problem seemed to went away but shortly after was Photoshop crashing at random, and I do mean random. Starting Photoshop at first seems to nullify the chances of crashing but after either a short period of time or a long period of time will it crash when trying to open a file. Opening multiple files at once doesn't work either but when opening only one file into PScs3 will it cooperate until opening a second. I'm not sure if the plug-in is what caused the problem but I do know everything from there seems hectic. Every crash leads me opening PScs3 again with all of its settings reset from when I first exited normally.
Plugin Used:
Photoshop_Plugins_8.23.1101.1715
Appications Type; 4,317 KB
Company - InstallShield Softwere Corporation
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program?
Unfortunetly yes I have attempted this and the problem still occurs towards cs3. This makes me fear that the entire program is glitched.
Do you have any other plug-ins installed?
I've checked and there are no other plug-ins attatched.
This is my last option before seeing to reformat my computer. If there is any input about the topic, now is the time.

Just a hunch: change your default printer to something else (a locally attached printer, not networked) or "PrintToPDF", then relaunch Photoshop and try again.
It could also be a plugin (try disabling ALL third party plugins).
And it could be a bad OS install, a virus, etc. It may take a while to find.

Firefox consistently crashes when loading Flash sites

For a couple of reasons I decided to go ahead and install OSS a few days ago. On the first day, the install went smoothly and everything was working just as it should (I used the oss-linux-free PKGBUILD in AUR). Yesterday and today, however, I've started to get a reoccurring problem that is, to put it lightly, driving me nuts.
Firefox (or Epiphany, though I prefer the former) consistently crashes when opening up any site that uses Flash or Java. With the way the internet is going, this is a large chunk of websites—not being able to visit YouTube or the website for Enemy Territory: Quake wars, for instance, is driving me nuts.
Now, when I say "consistently" I don't mean each and every time. I've been able to get these sites to load a number of times, but in the last two days Firefox has crashed in probably 2/3-3/4 of the time when loading any site that has a Flash element. I've made sure that I have not wrongly assumed this has to do with my newly installed OSS by uninstalling, reinstalling the kernel and all ALSA packages, rebooting, and then surfing the web for a while to see if anything went wrong. It didn't.
So my question is this: why is Firefox crashing so often in the two days since I've installed OSS? What can be done to rectify this?
After some experimenting, it seems the problem is worst under the following conditions:
- Having several tabs open, though not necessarily several tabs with Flash
- Listening to music and THEN navigating to YouTube or something.
However, it's not specific to these circumstances. In fact, just before I decided to make this post I opened Firefox, went to a site with Flash on it (one tab), and it immediately shut down. I tried this three or four additional times and was met with the exact same results.
Other info
Firefox: Pre-compiled Mozilla i686 build, v. 2.0.0.11
OSS: OSS (GPL version) 4.0, build 1012
Operating System: Arch Linux 2.6.23-ARCH
I've also posted this here.

I have the same problem. I've never been able to identify when it started. Once firefox crashes, mpd, if it was playing, becomes unresponsive. The only way to get a flash site working again is to reboot my computer.
I uninstalled flash: I'm not going to put up with that kind of behaviour. Now I watch youtube videos on other people's computers --you know how they say "You've GOT to see this movie!". And if I really need to see that one specific video, there's youtube-dl.
Unfortunately gnash doesn't work on youtube for me.
