Firefox 6.0.2 crashes when I attempt to save a pdf

When I have a pdf in my firefox browser and I click to save it, as soon as I click on the "UP" folder on the screen to navigate to the folder I wish to save the pdf in, an hourglass appears and firefox stops responding. I can't close firefox or open another browser. I have left the computer in this condition in excess of 20 minutes and nothing changes. If I go into Task Manager "Dumprep" is using nearly all the resources. I have gone into msconfig and disabled Reporting to see if this resolves the issue. I am not in a position to reboot my computer at the moment due to certain programs that are running and can't be interrupted. I will report back when I get the chance. I can use IE8 to download pdf's and there is no issue, so I know it is firefox causing the crash.

It would appear that this problem was caused by my disabling Java as we have been recommended to do for security reasons. I updated to the latest version of Java, and re-enabled it, and the plugin checker now works fine.
Could someone please confirm that this would cause the problem I have been seeing?
Thanks.

Help! Muse 2014.3 keeps crashing when I attempt to save my .muse file

I have the latest version of Muse [2014.3] Since the update the application repeatedly crashes at the least 'provocation'.
I'm building a multipage website for a client and brought the last file home [I'd been working on it at my office]. One or two of the image files needed updating, which I did. When I attempted to save the updated file I got [and keep getting] a fatal error.
The error message reads: "Dangling Ref or Ownership: BoxPageItem refers to unknown UID, BoxPageItem refers to unknown UID, BoxPageItem refers to unknown UID".
The application then hangs and I have to force quit. This is happening repeatedly and the dialogue tells me nothing about how to fix these errors [3 image errors perhaps, since the current crashes happen after updating images?]. I'm in a serious time crunch now, how can I recover my file to continue working on this project and what is causing the problem? Anyone help me?
Is this version of Muse really that unstable?
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Fabia,
I think I fixed it over the weekend. But interestingly, my problem was images inside compositions too.
I did something similar to you, where I didn't let Muse update when the file opens [which was causing the crashes]. Instead I located the images in the assets panel, opened them in Photoshop and resaved them. Then I imported and saved after each one. This seemed to work.
For me, the 'container' was apparently OK, I had the background fill set to none anyhow, so reasoned there might be a problem with one of the seven images [seven in my case, but which one, or maybe all?]. Since then, I've been able to add content and save normally, and this morning I've been able to let the client see the site progress, as promised.
Thanks for the reply and good luck with your project.
Charlie

Illustrator hangs or crashes when I try to save as PDF

I am using Illustrator to creates designs for a Flex app. My document has a lot of symbols, rasterized images and layers (it's about 8.1 MB).
Illustrator has stopped doing two things that I need it to do:
1) It just hangs (infinite beachball on OS X) when I try to Save As an "Acrobat Viewable" AI file.
2) It also hangs (or crashes on my PC) when I try to save as PDF, regardless of the options I choose.
I can Save or Save As as long as I don't include Acrobat support.
Any ideas on this? Thanks!

Started eliminating layers, one by one, and trying a PDF export.
It hung and hung and hung until I had deleted about 10 first level layers... then it hung for a bit and boom! It exported.
I went into the original doc and deleted the last layer I had removed from the test doc and it hung as usual.
My conclusion? No bad objects - just too many layers for Illustrator to handle in a timely manner. I've officially taxed the program, which was totally crashing it on my Windows machine.
Why so many layers? Since I am skinning a Flex app by exporting a .swf skin file from Illustrator, I have all of the app layouts in one .ai file. This consists of 46 first level layers, and hundreds of secondary and tertiary layers. It also includes a truckload of embedded graphics sprinkled throughout for layout purposes. Plus symbols.
It's just too much for Illustrator - a program not really designed for this workflow - to handle.
I don't want to make separate files for each site section as that'd require me to port the symbols back and forth all the time when I make a simple change, like a button style adjustment.
Any other advice on managing this better is appreciated, but nothing jumps out as an easy and scalable solution.
Thanks for the help, especially jean.

FM 10: FM crashes when I try to Save as PDF

I have TCS 3.0 installed on Windows 7, and have been trying to gen a PDF. In FM 7 and 8, I would always do a "Print Setup", followed by a Print Book (both in the File menu). However, in FM 10, I have tried to gen a PDF using the "Save as PDF" option, and Frame crashes every time. But when I try the Print Setup and then Print Book method, I have no problem gen'ing a PDF. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution, or is this a bug in Frame 10 or Acrobat X?
Thanks for any enlightenment.

When I try to gen a PDF from a single chapter file, FM crashes. What is interesting is that I get slightly different dialog boxes when I use Save as PDF vs Print Book.
Save as PDF gives me this dialog, which has the options for "Generate PDF for review only" and "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB".
However, when I click File > Print Book > PDF Setup..., the dialog looks like this (see below). It does not have the 2 options that the prior dialog does.

Adobe Reader Crashes when I attempt to print a PDF

Hi,
I am running 11.0.02 Adobe Reader on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8 Snow Leopard). Each time I download a pdf via Safari (5.1.8) and try to print, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes.
When we logged in on a guest account on my Mackbook Pro, the problem disappeared. Printing Worked.
Logged back in as me, then deleted a number of p.list files in my library preferences, even tried deleting and resintalling Adobe Reader. Still the same problem. Try to print a pdf document in Safari, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes. Save the same file to the desktop and open it directly in Adobe Reader, try to print, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
David

Hello Pat,
You are absolutely the BEST.
I followed your two recommendations and now the program is working perfectly. Yes, my Reader XI was version 11.0.10 when I was having the problems.
I never would have figured out the solution to the problem without your help. I was very pleased with your follow through.
I really appreciate your help. THANK YOU! – THANK YOU!
Adobe is a great program – I have used it for years and this is the first time I have had any problem.
Kind regards,
Hartley

Crashes when I attempt to clear browser history;temp fix:I use IObit Security to clean browsing history,cannot clean it all,cleans most,I am then able to clear the rest of my history thru Firefox;I thought this info would help solve the problem

Crap thought that text was all the characters I was allotted, not just the title.
Anyway I wouldn't have even posted this if you guys would have allowed me to reply to the already existing thread I found through google. Said about 20 or so people had the same problem and no one found the contributor's answer useful, including myself.
Anyway, I use Firefox, because it is one of two (other being internet explorer) that Trend Micro's security package includes protection with. Same with spyware blaster which I also use but Trend Micro is the deal breaker. Also I like Firefox 4 and your ad blocker is better than google chrome's. However if I continue to have problems with clearing my browser history it is back to Opera and Google Chrome for me. IObit Security supports both of them, it also seems to be the best security system I have ever come across, I will just pay for their subscription and stop using Trend Micro.
This is a very big problem I hope it is being addressed. Only addon I have is your ad blocker. Also this is completely on your end, not ours. I am the perfect test, my computer is brand new, and by brand new I mean I just started using it the other day, the same day my firefox browser kept crashing as I attempted to clear my browsing history.
Windows 7, 8GBs RAM, AMD athlon II quad core 2.90 GHz
Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing.

Firefox crashes when I attempt t enter a SPCN chat room

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.

See also http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Addons -> Extensions<br />
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
See:

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled

Well, as I said, Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled. This is on a 2010 white unibody macbook. I have a google toolbar, and all of a sudden, it keeps saying that it can't communicate with the toolbar. Now, I can't even uninstall it because whenever I go to the add on manager, it says there's an 'unresponsive script'. Could anyone help me? Thanks.

I fixed it by running in Safe Mode, and uninstalling Personas. Thanks again!

PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog

PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog to those that already exist. No programs are running that might conflict with Organizer, and I can run other functions such as downloading photos from my camera. As soon as I attempt to add a new sub-catalog to an existing major catalog, the program crashes. I'm using Windows 7, and have tried various compatibilities, but none solves the problem. Any ideas?

How do you attempt to 'add a new catalog' or a new 'sub-catalog' ?
There are no such things as 'sub-catalogs' or catalogs included in catalog.
Catalogs are totally independent storing systems, they ignore what is managed in other catalogs.That's why it is recommended to have only one catalog, unless you have a good reason to create several ones because they are totally independent by nature (home vs professional for instance).
You can create several levels of albums, of tags categories, but not with catalogs.

Imovie 9.0.9 crashes when I attempt to send it to i-dvd message is exc_crash(sigabrt) ?

I Movie crashes when I attempt to send it to i DVD. Shuts down and send message exc_crash(sigbrt). This is new and I have already made more then 20 i-movies and burned DVDs. Is this a corrupt file in the pictures, videos, music or themes or a problem with the i-movie program? There is plenty of space on the drives. Geek squad could not figure it out?
Thank you
Richard

I would first delete the app and reinstall it. Then try your move again. If still having issues, I would try to isolate the cause by making a quick video and then try to send it to your DVD. If that doesn't crash, then I would suspect the other movie or something embedded in it. If you've used some of the stock music, themes or other stock files in the video that crashes, you can try adding the music, themes or other files to your new short video that didn't crash one at a time to try and isolate a particular file that may be causing the issue. I know this is a lot of work but from your post it looks like you use this app often so I think it's worth it to try this unless someone else has a better idea.

TS1717 iTunes crashes when I attempt to play a movie

After installing the new iTunes update, the program crashes when I attempt to play a movie or TV episode. Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks.

Sounds like Quicktime is causing the problem.
Try to start Quicktime and see if it works.
If it works then try to run Apple Software Update, to see if Quicktime needs an update.
Else try to install ITunes and Quicktime again (As it is already installed, it will give you the option to do a repair)

ITunes crashes when I attempt to sync music to iPhone

This has been an ongoing problem for about a month or so. When I connect my iPhone to my computer it shows in iTunes that it's connected, however, when I hit "sync" iTunes crashes. iTunes updates all of my applications and even allowed me to update my 3GS to iOS4 but it just crashes when it attempts to sync all of my music in iTunes. I've reinstalled iTunes using the step by step article like Apple tech support told me but after that they said it has to be a hardware problem.
Any suggestions? This is driving me nuts.
BTW I am running Vista Home Premium.

Okay ... I've got no +a priori+ reason to suspect the nVidia's at this stage. (There has been a bit of an uptick in unorthodox Radeon issues over the past couple of weeks, but nothing related to nVidia's that I'm aware of.)
More experimentation, if you're still game J.
There have been a few more preference file issues cropping up in recent months than I like. Although I'd usually associate them with something like an iTunes.dll faulting module than a QuickTime component, I've seen them mimic QuickTime component troubles down through the years.
If it's a pref file issue, it should produce a user-account-specific crash. (There's different sets of iTunes pref files in each different Windows user account.) So it's probably worth checking to see if this is user account specific or not.
Create a new user account with full administrative rights on the PC. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Launch iTunes in the new account. The iTunes Setup Assistant will run. When prompted, don't let iTunes add files to the new account. Just let it launch to an empty library.
In iTunes, go "Edit > Preferences". In the "Devices" tab, check the "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" checkbox. Click OK.
Plug in the iPhone. *(Do not associate the iPhone with the empty library.)*
Do we get another "iTunes has stopped working"? Or does iTunes stay open this time around?

ITunes crashes when I attempt to open my iPhone within iTunes

Since updating iTunes and installing the latest iphone software iTunes crashes when I attempt to open my iphone in the device panel. I therefore cannot perform any manual functions on my phone through iTunes. I'm running 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.
Any suggestions?

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.
