"Distiller has stopped working" when working with font managers

Don't know if this is the right forum to be posting, but there isn't a Distiller forum. I did see a post with my EXACT problem mentioned on the Distiller Server forum, to which someone disdainfully responded that the Acrobat area is where to post.
So... I've got a Vista machine, running CS3 fairly flawlessly. I get the message "distiller has stopped working" whenever browsing fonts in Font Navigator (which came with Corel X3). I thought this was unique to Font Nav, until I tried Suitcase and Font Agent Pro as other font management options. Same error message.
Firstly, I'm not clear on why distiller is running in the first place, and secondly, why messing with fonts is causing the conflict. I did find another discussion that pointed me to an update to solve the problem, but it didn't work.
Ideas?

>why distiller is running in the first place
I don't know about Vista, but in XP you use the MSCONFIG program to see what is in the startup process

Acrobat Distiller has stopped working (not 30 day issue)

I've been running CS6 on my Windows 7, 64 bit machine since at least October. I had the 30 day issue at the 30 day mark, but resolved it and it's worked flawlessly for months after that. Now, I get an error message that says Acrobat Distiller has stopped working. My only option is to close that window. Acrobat continues to work to read, edit and save an already created PDFs. Here are where I experience errors.
I can create a new PDF within Acrobat. If I click "Create PDF" then choose a Word Doc, it gives me at least two times the error message that Acrobat Distiller has stopped working. If I keep closing that message, eventually the pdf will have been created and will be in the Acrobat window and the file will be saved.
I can't print to PDF at all. When I try from within Acrobat, I see a little window that says it's checking fonts, then the Distiller stopped working error message. When I try printing to pdf from other programs (have tried Word, Firefox), crashes. It could be a one page document with just text, or something with pictures - no go. I just tested it again - now Acrobat is not responding. I can't end the Acrobat process - have tried closing the window, and saying end process, tried ending Acrobat from within task manager, tried ending the acrobat and acrotray processes - multiple times in Task Manager and Acrobat won't close.
I don't know how to fix this. I've checked to make sure Acrobat was updated; I've updated my Windows; I've reinstalled Acrobat. Nothing fixes it.
When I run Acrobat Distiller, it freezes seemingly in the midst of checking fonts.   Here is the text of the problem details section of the error message I get:

I think I may have fixed my problem... I am no longer seeing the Distiller stopped working pop up and I am now able to print to PDF
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
My Fonts and program are all installed on the same drive thus preventing me from gaining access to Distiller to change the settings. Windows would not let me make any changes to the Default Font folder.
This is what I did...
Not knowing which font(s) where causing the problem, I moved all but protected fonts (automatically labelled) from the Window's Font folder and placed them in a temporary folder.
I restarted Distiller DC and great news...the program did not crash and I was able to change the settings to temporarily not include the Windows Fonts .No more pop ups and I can now print to PDF!
What I am going to do..
Through the process of elimination, I will gradually restore the fonts I removed from from the Window's folder to find the culprits(s)
Once I am satisfied that the problem Font(s) are found and no longer included in the Window's Font folder, I will change the settings in Distiller back (permanently) to include the Window's Font folder.
In closing, and because so many others are having the same issues, I really do think it would be prudent for Adobe to make the necessary adjustments to their program(s) to prevent this kind of issue.
Thanks

Acrobat Distiller has stopped working

I see this has been posted a couple of times but the issue has not been resolved.
I am running FrameMaker 12, Distiller XI, on Windows 7.
I'm trying to File > Save as PDF and I get the error-- Acrobat Distiller has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
The only option is to click close. This error appear 3 times before it really stops.
I have investigated this issue to a particular font issue. Although, I do not know how to correct it.
In the Distiller, Settings > Edit Adobe PDF settings , I have selected the folder for Fonts, unchecked Embed all fonts, added my font to the Always Embed list, saved my settings and then used those settings to try the same process again, with the same result.
The font that I want to embed is a free font, so there should not be any license issue with it.

This will not be Distiller Server, I suggest the regular Acrobat Creation forum. Nobody comes to this forum because Distiller Server stopped years ago.

FM 8: Acrobat Distiller has stopped working

I've recently upgraded to FM 8 and am trying to print a .book that I printed successfully many times in FM 7.
I am doing a Print Book... command. When I get to a certain .fm file, I receive the message "Acrobat Distiller has stopped working." I click OK and in a few seconds, the system informs me that my .pdf was created successfully...except, it doesn't exist. (When I try to do a "Save as PDF," a .tps file is generated that is very large, but no .pdf.)
The only difference between the problematic file and the others is that it is in a different folder than the previous files. I've even tried re-creating the file from scratch.
At this point, I'm not even sure what to check to try to diagnose the problem. I am running FM 8 (p 277) on Windows Vista Business SP1. Do I need to update Distiller somehow? How can I check the Distiller version? What folder would contain a detailed log of the print attempt? (I've printed other .book files that came over from FM7 without incident.)
Thanks for any suggestions.

Van, can you tell me how to find and delete extra distiller apps?

Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

I have a similar problem. I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS. After completing the process the phone never restarted. The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon. I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone. The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads. iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does. I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery. This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help. A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged. She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on. I don't think it is a battery issue. The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone. Repairing it was out of the question. At this point the phone is completely useless. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Prabhuram and falez,
This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.

I am receiving an error message that "photos has stopped respoding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library

I keep receiving an error message "Photos has stopped responding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

My screen has stopped rotating when I turn my ipad

My screen has stopped rotating when I turn my ipad

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. If you have the newer ipad just swipe up on the home screen and the shrotcuts will come up and there will be a symbol for screen rotation lock (make sure its off)
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

ITunes12 stops working when syncing with iPhone5. It can't copy the files. Tried everything; uninstalling, re-installing, updating... Still the same. HELP Please? :'(

This just happened a day ago. It was when Windows failed to update. When I plugged my phone to the laptop, there seemed to be a pop-up box appearing in iTunes saying, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" At first only the album artworks of the songs were not copied. I tried uninstalling and re-installing it using the instructions from here: Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support. But still, it did not work. That's why I though t that maybe because Windows wasn't able to update that's why syncing keeps on crashing.
However, after that failed update yesterday, I was able to update Windows 8.1 today. After that, I tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes. I cleared up everything even the contents from the library to start anew. After that, I tried syncing it with my phone hoping that it would finally sync. Unfortunately, that evil pop-up window appeared again.
I really don't know what to do about it. I've been using iTunes for how many years already and I have never experienced crashing.
And about that solution, well Windows haven't notified me yet. And I doubt if they will.
I really hope that someone out here could help me solve this problem. I've been stressing out about this the whole day. It's just so hard because there are a lot of files that I lost, especially music. </3
Thanks

Hi shararara,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving an error that iTunes has stopped responding. I know you have already tried some treat troubleshooting, but in this situation I would suggest working through the steps suggested in the attached article.

How can I go back to a previous version of software as iOS 5 has stopped car bluetooth working.

I have an i-phone 3GS and a 56 Plate Ford Fiesta with factory fitted bluetooth audio. This is a Nokia bluetooth but has allowed me to call hands free with this phone and previous i-phones and other brands with no problem. I upgraded to iOS5 and I can now not make calls through it. If I press call, the radio says 'dialling' but the ringing tone and when someone answers just goes straight back to the handset and not through hands free which makes it redundant in the UK. I rang Apple and asked how to go back to a previous version of software that does work but was told Apple staff were not allowed to tell me how to do this. His only other suggestion was that I buy a new car which wasn't massively helpful or practical. I have seen quite a few messages on the internet of people having this sort of problem after they upgraded. Does anyone know how to go back a previous version or how to get bluetooth back working with my car as I quite like the iOS 5 update it's just no good if I can't use it in car.? I've tried deleting and re-pairing but that hasn't worked. Does anyone also know whether Apple have picked up on this bluetooth compatibility problem and whether they are planning on doing anything to fix it as it does seem to have affected a lot of people and if it can't be resolved I'll just have to stop using i-phones and go to another manufacturer as it's not helpful living in a country where you to have hands free and then not being able to do that because a software update prevents it. Any help would be greatly received.

Hi Shero89,
Thanks for the answer. I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet. I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that. Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software. I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems. One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.

WMI InvokeMethod for StartService does not work when used with ManagementOperationObserver on IIS

Hi,
I am using .net 4.5 and C# to remotely restart the services. I am using WMI to do this task. This code works when called from windows application on the machine, but same code when used inside web application it gives exception of invalid parameter.
We saw it log error in System Event log

For web apps the context will be the context of the app pool. Unless you set the app pool to run as a user account that has admin privileges on the remote machine then you won't be able to control the services on a remote machine. If you have
enabled Win auth such that the app runs in the context of the remote user then you might need to turn on delegation otherwise the hop won't work.
Note that if you are using Win auth then consider using ServiceController instead which provides the same functionality as WMI but with a cleaner syntax. This wouldn't work if you need to impersonate a user though.

ITunes has stopped launching when I plug in my iPhone via USB

Two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently.
1. iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac via USB.
2. The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
Can anyone help?
This sounds like a bug introduced by a recent software update. Is anyone at Apple listening?

For point 1 have a look on your Mac:
Settings | System | Users & Groups | Your Account | Login Items
and see if iTunesHelper is there and ticked. If it has a yellow warning symbol next to it it has lost were to find this app which brings up iTunes when you connect devices.
It could have been messed up by an upgrade of iTunes. To set it up again you can add it to the 'Login Items' again. The iTunesHelper application is buried inside the iTunes application special folder:
Applications > iTunes > Contents > MacOS > iTunesHelper
you can navigate to it by looking at the package contents for iTunes (right click it). You can't add it by choosing the '+' button because you have to look inside iTunes.
Open Users & Groups, your account, Login Items then next to it
Open a Finder window navigate to iTunesHelper like above and then drag icon for it into the Login Items window.
