Frequent Crashes since updating to Yosemite.

My Macbook Pro has been frequently crashing since upgrading to Yosemite (10.1). Nothing in particular seems to crash it and I'm not running any intensive programs. I'm usually just running a combination of Pages, Word, Preview, Mail, and Safari. I run an external monitor in addition to the laptop display and often use multiple desktops so I can have easy access to PDFs. The machine is older, but I wasn't having these problems under Mavericks. I only upgraded because I made the mistake of upgrading my iPad to iOS8 and enabling iCloud Drive. This prevented my Pages documents from syncing and upgrading to Yosemite seemed to be the only solution. I swapped out the hard drive for a SSD two years ago, which really sped things up. Even now, it runs quickly, as long as it doesn't crash or get stuck, which it has also been doing more frequently. I still have plenty of disk space left (50GB+), but I have noticed that the OS is using more memory. 
Is there something I can do, or is it just time for an upgrade?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Nathaniel

Thanks Linc.
It hasn't frequently crashed insofar as it just "turns off," but if often freezes to the point where I need to force a shutdown. The most recent true crash was last Sunday. I've pasted the report below. But, there are several reports that end in .crash that I think refer to the forced shutdowns.

  • Problem with crashing since update to Yosemite 10.10.2

    I have a Macbook Pro (15inch, Mid 2009) that has been trucking along fine for years. I upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB about a year ago, no issues on that front. I then updated the OS from Mavericks to Yosemite not to long ago and began to experience an unstoppable loop of crashing that would at most get me as far as to the desktop for a few minutes. I ran Recover HD and it told me my hard drive had a bad volume in it and that it was unrepairable, that I would have to reformat it completely, luckily I have a Time Machine backup of the day just before this began to happen. I figured at worst the hard drive was old and that I might as well take the opportunity to upgrade to an SSD. So I did just that, went from the stock 500GB Western Digital drive to a Intel 256 SSD, installation was no sweat. The process afterwards when installing a fresh clean OS was the painful part as I ran into another issue where "Essentials.pkg" error was preventing me from completing the reinstall of Mavericks/Yosemite, the problem as far as I could tell was that it supposedly did not like my aftermarket 8GB ram. Since I had no back up of my old Apple OEM Memory (misplaced it somewhere) I ended up having to borrow my friends Macbook Pro and hot swap his stock memory temporarily into my Macbook to just complete a fresh install of the OS. Luckily I was able to get everything back up and running and the SSD made my Macbook Pro incredibly fast, Time Machine worked flawlessly everything back to normal like it never happened.
    Until today, Just a few days after this whole fiasco, I began to experience the same issue again. The symptoms would start with having Chrome loaded up and running, Chrome would begin to crash, unable to show a webpage no matter how many times I refreshed or went to another website, a minute or two later of this happening and then my OS would completely crash and it would give me that splash screen that your computer has been restarted unexpectedly to continue press any button etc...
    I have the report listed below, this is the most recent crash report that just happened now, since I have no idea how to read it I was hoping for some help here to maybe figure out what exactly is going on. I don't have the crash reports from before the whole fiasco happened, I can only imagine it is the same in nature.

  • Adobe Bridge crashing after updating to Yosemite

    Adobe Bridge CC crashes my iMAC 27" forcing a restart since updating to Yosemite. Bridge will launch okay if i am seeing images in thumnail view, switch folders and show images, but pressing the space bar for a full screen preview results in a grey screen for a few seconds followed by an OS message that the system has crashed and needs to restart.
    This has happened over as many times i tried opening files in Adobe Bridge, by pressing spacebar by defult the images open fulllsceen but now imac restarts.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • Premiere Pro random crashing since update to 2014.2

    Been working on the SAME big project over 18 months, in Pr Pro CC, 2014, working on the SAME PC:
    Win 7 SP1 pro 64bit, i7-3770K, 32GB fast memory (25.7 available for Pr), Intel HD 4000 graphics on Asus motherboard with 30" NEC Multisync screen at 2560 x 1600 (same as for years)
    42GB free on my SSD drive C: and 54GB free on my SSD drive S: for preview files, 24GB free on my SSD drive T: for caching files.  Project files etc stored on a normal hard drive F: (for Files!) 1.25TB free.
    NOW last update to 2014.2 and I get constant RANDOM crashes (Windows encountered a fault and had to close this program) despite updating graphics driver and trying different settings in preferences, use mercury etc.  No particular action causes it  - sometimes I am just watching it play a sequence and it just stops. Though of course it may be rendering the last edit at the time.
    Sometimes it runs for all of 15 mins and I think the problem has sorted then it goes again and I have to restart the project, find where I was and re-do my last edits.  If I remember to press Ctrl-S very frequently (every few seconds) it seems to run for a while then I forget for 5 mins and it crashes.
    Grrrr what did you do to the latest version, Adobe??  I need to get this project finally finished in a hurry.... I wish I had not updated the program!  Of course I cannot go back as it says the saved copy is now incompatible with earlier Pr Pro versions.
    I then tried running a previous version at the same time, as simonray suggested in his post - it worked!  So I am able to continue as normal provided I do this stupid bodge fix.
    So it really is down to Adobe as it is the same project, same PC, just different version update.  You did something to a great, stable, program that made it unstable, Adobe...
    To ANSWER RAMEEZ from previous thread:
    A variety of issues can cause PPRO to crash:
    a problem with the Preferences, or some other pref-related file in the Profile-<USERNAME> bin. >>  DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING since 1½ years running previous PrPro versions on SAME PROJECT on SAME PC
    the graphics driver  Checked for latest version - didn't stop the crashing
    third-party plug-ins - don't have any
    a problem with the cache files. I am using the same 2 x SSD I have been using for years for autosave and caching. 54GB free space / 24GB free space (current cache in place)
    a problem with the project file (if you're loading a project...)  Doesn't apply
    the Preferences files be set to read-only  How would that happen? Never happened before on any other update and I can change it.
    the user not having administrator rights  Only one user on PC since installation, full rights
    a conflict/incompatibility with some OS setting  Haven't changed anything
    a problem on the licensing/authentication side.  I'm signed up to full Adobe CC. Everything else works, Ps, Lr, Id ...
    A log file might help identify the cause of the crash. Please right-click 'My Computer', select "Manage," look under 'Event Viewer->Windows Logs->Application' to see if there's an event there from Premiere Pro. If so, copy the contents of that log and paste them here.

    Problem Solved! (with a small catch)
    While searching crashing issues I came across this thread,"Premiere Pro random crashing since update to 2014.2"
    Marc_Lec  Answered (and I paraphrase here)"...I had the same problem and this is what I did. In 'Preferences Memory'  I increased the memory reserved for other application to at least half the installed and changed the optimize render from 'performance' to 'memory."
    Thank You Marc_Lec for what has been a game changer for me since my last computer and the beginning of PremiereCC problems.
    I changed my Memory reserved for Other Applications from the default 7gigs to 1/2 of my approx.31 available Gigs = 16Gigs. Viola!
    No more crashing what-so-ever!
    I still have to purchase an older  GTX 980 graphics card to take advantage of Adobe's approved code to utilize X=Cuda Cores and GPU, but I think I'll hang onto my new TitanX, in hopes that Adobe will write code and approve it someday in the near future.
    Now why doesn't Adobe say this officially about Memory Settings? (I don't know maybe they do and I missed I somewhere)
    Mine and probably many peoples computers problems here on this board may be attributed to a simple Memory adjustment, because the computer needs more than 7Gigs to run itself, not to mention Premiere.

  • Since updating to Yosemite Apple remote doesn't work

    Hello all,
    I have a bit of a problem, since updating to Yosemite my Apple remote stopped working on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011). It worked before the update without a hitch, but now I can't pair it to the computer.
    It is a 7 button remote in question, tried pairing it as before using the right arrow + menu but nothing happens. I have also tried with a new battery so this not the issue. 
    I guessed it needed to be "re-paired" to it again so I have followed the instructions System Preferences / Security & Privacy / General / Advanced  but I don't have the “Disable remote control infrared receiver.” option to be found...
    I tried googling the solution but with no luck so I rely on your advice, please
    Here is also a print screen of my Security & Privacy window...
    It is not a major issue but it is a bit of an inconvenience....
    Thnx!

    Here's mine, the lower one

  • Since updating to Yosemite and CS6 2 of my print options are greyed out on my epson R2880 print pane?

    My colour and colour settings options are 'greyed out' on my  Epson printer pane since updating to Yosemite and CS6,this happened before after running a software update on the printer driver! The driver version at that time was 6.62 and now it has updated to version 9.00....could this be the problem??

    That's strange ... did you try restarting before printer install? You also may need to delete the printer itself (System Preferences > Printers & Scanners) and add it again , in order to access the proper drivers (?)
    Can you show screen shot(s) of your incomplete print dialog?

  • Since updating to Yosemite my audio is not working?

    Hey,
    Every since updating to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (Early 2011 model) my audio/sound has been very intermittent.  It stops working after my computer goes to sleep and needs a hard restart to get it back.
    A few times I was able to kill the process in activity monitor or use a terminal command and it would reset the coreaudio and work but that stopped working for me now too.. Coreaudio shows in activity monitor as not responding even after it comes back after a force quit or regular quit.
    Has anyone been able to identify and solve this issue?
    Thanks

    Repair permissions & restart.
    Check your settings in the Audio Midi app which is located in the Utilities folder.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574 Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
    Trick/Tip:Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).
    Quit out of the GarageBand app.
    =====================
    Repairing the mysteriously muted Mac
    The background on the issue is that there’s a small sensor switch inside the headphone port. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor understands what's what and changes the sound output setting to Headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the device changes to Digital Out. When you remove the jack completely, it should read Internal Speakers.
    The spirits tell me that there’s a very good chance that you recently had something jacked into this port—a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you removed the jack, something in the port prevented the sensor from tripping correctly. That’s why you see Digital Out instead of internal Speakers.
    The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do that is to simply run a jack in and out of the port a few times. Much of the time, this takes care of the problem by correctly tripping the sensor. If that doesn’t work, there may be gunk in the port. Before turning to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, attach the small tube that fits the nozzle, and blast a few shots of air into the port. With any luck, that should dislodge the gunk and the port will operate as it should.
    If that doesn’t work, find a foam-tipped swab that fits (electronics shops generally carry them), dip it in rubbing alcohol, and gently insert it into the headphone port in an attempt to wipe away any stubborn gunk. I recommend foam rather than cotton swabs because the cotton variety might leave threads behind. (This same technique works well with misbehaving headphone ports on devices such as iOS devices.)
    It's possible that gunk has nothing to do with it. Rather, it may be that the switch just needs a subtle nudge. If a jack or swab doesn't work, I've heard of people successfully resetting it with a deft poke of a toothpick.

  • Since updating to Yosemite my airport express (used for airplay) connects for a short period then drops, the error message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Kitchen". The host cannot be reached."  Has anyone else had this?

    Since updating to Yosemite my airport express (used for airplay) connects for a short period then drops, the error message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Kitchen”. The host cannot be reached."  Has anyone else had this problem

    I'm having the same issue.  Haven't found a workaround.  I use a main TimeCapsule as my main router, also have another TimeCapsule that extends the network, three Airport Express and an AppleTV.  For whatever reason, the two AirportExpress that I have in a different rooms cut out.  I only have 600 square foot apartment so it's not that big, the signal should be strong enough.  Airport Utilitiy reports the signal strength to be strong on all devices.
    I'm using all new equipment, a new MacPro for my music, new TimeCapsules, new Airport Express, new everything with the latest Yosemite software.  Very frustrating.  My Airplay used to work very nice and now I'm constantly having issues and restarting my network.  I did a fresh install of all my software on my MacPro when I got it in January so it's not as if it's an old machine with old software, everything is new within the last 6 months.
    The only workaround I found so far is to unplug the devices and to plug them back in.  Since upgrading to Yosemite, I'm restarting my Airport Express at least twice a week.  Very annoying.

  • PS CS6 crashes since update

    On my PC (WIndows 7) Photoshop CS6 has been crashing since updating though Adobe Application Manager a couple of days ago. What is the best practice to uninstall and reinstall PS? I've had serious issues uninstalling before, so it's not necessarily a simple answer. Any help would be appreciated!
    I also use the Adobe programs on a Mac and I found it odd that Adobe told me all the applications needed updating when I checked on  my Windows 7 system, but said they were all up to date on my Mac (an hour later). Does that sound kosher?

    Have not changed any setting in PS as far as I know. The version after the update is 13.2.2 x 64
    The program will also not save a file correctly as a PDF. Have not had this problem until today. The file has text and some of the text lines reproduce in the PDF as white (instead of black) and just show and outline. All the other text is normal. I've tried saving the PDF five times and no change.

  • Issues since update to yosemite

    Hello everyone,
    I've been having all sorts of issues since updating to yosemite which I am struggling to fix on my macbook.
    I've had the mac since 2010/11 and the first thing I noticed after updating to Yosemite was the fan constantly running from the moment I boot the machine and that the icons on my desktop were extremely slow to load up as are any files in the documents folder and finder.
    Then watching videos on youtube etc were refusing to play fully. I have since updated to the latest flash player but it is still slow.
    I ran the activity monitor and a kernel task file is operating at around 120% all the time.
    I have read numerous posts on the internet to try to fix and have upgraded to the latest yosemite, reset the printers and many other things.
    Now the trackpad is no longer working and not recognised and now the final straw for me is the keyboard refusing to be recognised at startup. I am currently using a wired mouse and bluetooth keyboard to get around these problems and everything is working fine with these but is a real pain.
    Has anyone had any similar problems to the above and know how to sort as this is taking up way too much of my time.
    Thanks

  • My NTFS formatted external Toshiba drive is unreadable since update to Yosemite OS X 10.10.1

    My portable external Toshiba hard drive is now unreadable on my MacBook Pro early 2008 aluminum computer. Since updating to Yosemite OS X 10.10.1, I cannot recover my files stored as Time Machine backups on my external drive. In the finder, it cannot be see under devices, however in Disk Utility, it is visible. The mounted partition is not viewable, however. My own native hard drive is 200 GB while the external hd is 500 GB. There's no creating a 500 GB image on my hard drive, in other words. I've tried the latest versions of Paragon NTFS and Tuxera NTFS with no avail.
    How am I to recover my files, most importantly my Time Machine backups, from my external drive?

    The first thing I realised when I started using a Mac was that it does not read NFTS files straight from the box. I had a Toshiba external drive as well and I had to copy all the files using a windows computer. Installed Tuxera on  my Mac, partitioned the Toshiba drive into 2 sections one NFTS and the other Journaled.
    When you copy files, do not modify the files as this may render them useless on your Mac.
    I use the Journaled partition for Time Machine and the NFTS on both Mac and Windows file storage.
    Do not format the Toshiba external drive otherwise you will lose all your data. Install a paid version of Tuxera on your Mac to be able to read the data. Some Toshiba hard drives come with a complete version of Tuxera.
