Diskimages-helper keeps crashing - what is this?

Have been trying to use the new Backup 3.0 program, but whenever I perform a backup, diskimages-helper crashes and the backup stops with an error about not being able to create the archive (this is on any type of disk - idisk, firewire etc)
In the console you can see that the diskimages-helper crash must be responsible for the Backup 3.0 error as it happens every time I try and run a backup.
Anyone have any info on this resource and possible issues in 10.4.2. I ran AppleJack just now and it reported the boot drive was fine. I have repaired permissions etc...
Any ideas, many thanks

  • (Mavericks) iTunes keeps crashing on sync "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"

    I updated my MacBook Air to Mavericks yesterday.  When attempting to sync my iPad2 and iPhone4 this morning, iTunes keeps crashing on me.
    There seems to be some issues with what it thinks my computer name or my Apple ID is.  It keeps referring to them as %1$S
    Check out this screenshot on the device Summary page of iTunes, It may be hard to make out the text since the image was resized upon uploading it:
    The the top circled item reads "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"
    The second circled item is the incorrectly sized Check for updates button
    The thrid circled item (left) are my Apple ID name and computer name, both referred to as %1$S
    The fourth circled item (right) is the text "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on "%1$S".
    Is anyone else having these issues after upgrading to Mavericks?  Any resolution?

    Nevermind, found that there is also an update that Itunes needed this morning to be compatible with Mavericks.  After updating all is fine.
    Not sure why iTunes update required for Mavericks was not included in Mavericks, but whatever.  Hope this helps anyone else who had this issue.

  • IOS 7 - calendar keeps crashing - what to do

    Both on my iPad and my iPhone 4 I installed iOS 7 and now the calendar on both keep crashing ... What can I do?..
    HELP

    Try a Restart.  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.   
    Resetting your settings You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again. 
    Resetting your device Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it. 
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.  
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Have original iMac; MS Word 2001 keeps crashing - What to do?

    hi. I have the original iMac. Just as of today, MS word 2001 keeps crashing. it is saying that an error of type 2 has occurred. tips on what to do? thank you!

    That's unusual, Word should have its own preferences. Is there anything else unusual about your copy of Office? e.g. have you lost any fonts that should be there? Maybe try trashing the Component preferences.
    If the worst comes to the worst I take it you have Office on CD? One of the nice things is that it contains an Uninstall program to wipe all trace of Office from your Mac so you can effectively start again with a nice clean installation. I bet you've probably got lots of e-mails and things stored in Entourage that you don't want to lose? Well, all messages are stored in a particular folder which you can drag your messages from (as one single clump, not thousands of individual messages, that would be a nightmare).
    I've done this in the past when I had a problem with my installation of Office that I could not solve. It worked fine and really didn't take very long to do.
    I wouldn't touch the Diskwarrior CD, not because its bad, but because its the wrong tool for this particular job I feel.
    I quite like Office, there are things you can do with it very simply that are a pain in the @ss to do with Appleworks. But I prefer to write in Appleworks, then cut & paste into Word. Maybe I'm weird, but Appleworks has a cleaner design which I can only guess makes writing easier subconsciously.
    Also (and I'm really going into overkill if I wasn't before), there is a very nice book on Office 2001 by David Pogue, published by Peach Pit Press. I got my copy a year or two ago on eBay and its quite handy. Did you know for example, that you can squash all your e-mails in Entourage down to a nicely compressed size to save space on your hard drive? It also makes Entourage perkier if you're the kind of person with 10,000 e-mails in your inbox. To do this, simply hold down the space bar when you double click to open Entourage and away it goes. All those e-mails are as accessible as before, but now they'll contain half the calories

    The Mac is waking up randomly and always showing this errorcode. The keyboard is showing a flashing green LED while the mac awakes.
    What is this? Anybody familiar with this error?

    This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
    Here is Apple's KB article HT1776 with their tips.
    Mine follow;
    USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
    If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
    If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
    If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
    If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
    "I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
    Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB card.
    Also, here is Apple KB article TA2469 about PCI cards and sleep.
    tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
    After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
    Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
    Check the printer queue!"
    Allan Jones says "sometimes there is Network activity: launch System Preferences > Energy Saver > "Options" tab and uncheck "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access."

  • My apps keep crashing. Is this an iOS problem and what can I do?

    Every time I open an app, regardless of whether or not it comes built into iOS, it opens and will work for a little bit, but then crashes. The main apps I use are Safari, the Contacts app that comes standard in iOS, and Textfree + VM. Do I need to reinstall the OS, do I need to send in the iPod, or what do I need to do?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Purchase and install any new app.
    - Restore from backup
    - Last, try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
