Everything quits. I tried AOL but it quits

I have been using eHarmony and access the dating boards there. There has been no problem. But suddenly when I try I get an error saying safari can't open the page because of redirects back to the original page. I tried using AOL but it quits every time I try to access the discussion boards. And they suggested IE, but the ball just spins on that and it doesn't go anywhere. I've tried repairing permissions, resetting safari and restarting computer ( flat panel iMac 800mhz with Tiger ) but getting to this one site still will not work, although no problem on other sites. I've shut down all other applications and just had safari or one of the other browsers going but still no go. Any ideas?

HI Gerald,
<Can't you just drag your Safari icon to the trash and drag another one down from preferences, or isn't it that simple?>
The only thing you are accomplishing by dragging the Safari icon to the Trash, is just that. No effect on Safari preferences.
Do you understand the path? /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. (YourName) In the window on the right open "Library" ... and then "Preferences". The com.apple.Safari.pllist is in the Preferences folder. Just drag and drop it on your Desktop. Launch Safari and try to access eHarmony. (There's an eHarmony.com ad on TV just now LOL) If you can without any problems, drag that .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new Safari pref file for you.
It takes time and practice to understand an operating system, whether it's Windows or Mac. We all started from the beginning. If it weren't for the good Mac volunteers here, I wouldn't be volunteering. I owe them all a debt of gratitude. We just do the best we can to make suggestions to help you to resolve any issues you are experiencing.
One thing that would help us help you... click the Apple logo top left in your Menu Bar. The Menu Bar runs across the very top of your Desktop. Menu Bar on the left, Status Bar on the right. The Status Bar is icons only. Click that Apple logo then click, "About This Mac"... a window will open and display the exact Mac OS version you are running. Please reply with that version number. And if you are indeed running Tiger, (10.4.x), could you please change your profile to reflect that. On the right side of this page where it says: My Settings... that's where you can change it.
Thanks!

Asked to quit iphoto for update but already quit?

hi,
I am trying to update iPhoto from the app store but I was promted to quit iPhoto (see pic, German) even though it's not even opened. I can't cancel the updating process nor can I shut down my macbook (it even says it might hurt my software if I interrupt now...). I tried lauching iPhoto and quitting again, but that does't do anything.
What should I do?

. I can't cancel the updating process nor can I shut down my macbook (it even says it might hurt my software if I interrupt now...)
Try force quitting. Click Force Quit from your Apple menu icon top left corner in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit. Select App Store then click Force Quit.
Or, try Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard.
Or, you can force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
There's a work around for problems updating apps from the App Store.
Uninstall the iPhoto app using this free utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac
Then follow these instructions for reinstalling. That will install the latest iPhoto version for you which is 9.3.2.

In google maps I cannot go to street view as I can in my other browsers. It tries to but quits and then says "done"

Google maps has street view where you can virtually put yourself on the street and move in 360 degrees of rotation and move in any direction to see the address you just looked up as it appears if you were standing in front of it. It used to work in earlier Firefox but in 3.6.9 it tries to but quits before it accomplishes the task stating "done" in the bottom lower left on the taskbar(?) then leaves a blank white screen. All necessary plug ins have been installed; Adobe Flash Player, Java, Shockwave. It works fine in Google Chrome and explorer but Firefox is my browser the browser I use over all others.

If you use extensions like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flashblock that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.

"iPhoto unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows"

When I try to open iPhoto, it says "iPhoto unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows," then gives me the option of restoring the windows or not. Whatever one I click, iPhoto opens for a second and displays a blank gray screen, then quickly closes and a notification pops up that says "iPhoto closed unexpectedly" and displays the following info. How do I fix this???

Well that's because it's a different library.
As i said above it was a test. It tells us that iPhoto is fine and that the problem is within your main Library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

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 r

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

Safari is using 5 to 6 GB of memory (of 8) and everything slows to a crawl, requiring force quit of what little I have open.

Safari is using 5 to 6 GB of memory (of 8) and everything comes to screeching halt, requiring force quit of what little I have open. Frustrated, I switched to Chrome. This worked for awhile but now I see Safari is still 'there' in the Activity Monitor, doing I know not what, as I never opened the app.
Sometimes the memory sink happens immediately, sometimes it builds up over time. But it always happens regardless of what else is opened. I find I have to keep checking the activity monitor to make sure Safari has not snuck in there, even though I am not using the Safari browser. I tried to throw Safari in the trash but the system would not let me.
This is a brand new imac, only 2 weeks old and I feel like throwing IT in the trash too. (Kidding). But seriously, my old 2010 imac never had this issue. Safari on my iphone and ipad appears normal.
My safari is 6.0.5 and my OS is 10.8.4. I think these are both the latest and greatest.
I disabled all extensions in Safari. Did not help. I saw a post suggesting to cut off Java which I just did, but I am not optimistic this will work either given how persistent and pervasive this problem appears to be.
Any help would be welcome.
Deb

Although you are not launching Safari yourself, make sure it's not launching itself on restart. Any applications that are open when you shutdown/restart will relaunch unless you deselect the tick shown in this image:
Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items and review what's set to load at boot-up. Remove anything that is not required using the 'minus' button. You can always add things back if necessary.
Another thought - what third-party software have you installed, if any? Any anti-virus programs or apps that promise to 'clean' or 'speed up' your Mac. There are some apps that are known to bring a Mac to its knees - MacKeeper is top of the list.
If none of this helps, then I agree you should take advantage of your warranty/phone support.

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.

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.

Finder unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows

Hi.
I was looking at my photos on a folder in my desktop. Suddenly my mac got slower and Finder popped out. It said "Finder unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows", and dont restore windows / restore windows. So I clicked restore windows. It closed and pooped out again and said the same thing. So I clicked dont restore windows. It happened again, closed and popped out. I am was using OS X Lion 10.7, so I upgraded to 10.7.2, but it was still popping. I opened my mac in safe mode, restarted it for a million times but it is still on my dock jumping and blocking my desktop. How am I going to fix it?

Selecting the "No" button will tell Finder not to try and reopen the windows.

Angry Birds Rio unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows?

"Angry Birds Rio unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows - Restore Buton - Don't Restore Button" is the MAC popup error that quickly disapers and is replaced by the second popup, "Angry Birds Rio quit unexpectedly - Ignore - Report - Reopen."
Installed v. 1.2.2 in August when notified by the app store. Played only once after update but now receive "Quit Unexpectedly" error.
Tried:
Reboot
Trash AngryBirdsRio.app and restore old version from Time Machine
Trash AngryBirdsRio.app and re-insall (v.1.2.2) from App Store
De-selected built-in 288MB Intel Graphics in favor of NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M, PCIe, 512 MB
Opened Rovio Ticket # 60602 and sent complete report to Apple.
Having searched similar errors in the Apple Support Community, I understand this could be either a programming error or even a bad memory error or something as simple as corrupted files. I may have to do some digging to delete some files that are not directly under .app for this type of error? If there is no solution or work-around for this, please advise of all file names/locations of those files so I can completely trash and attempt another re-install. Scores are not important (although it would be nice to know where those are stored on a MAC) because I need the practice. Squawk!
