  • Finder Unexpectedly quit error message when rebuilding desktop in 9

    When I try to rebuild the desktop, I am still getting the Finder Unexpectedly Quit error. This is happening with my iMac G3. I'm running OS 9.2.2 and 10.4.3. I followed all the directions in the Apple Help file here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2344
    but it is not rebuilding the desktop at all. Every time I do I get that error message at startup even with extensions off. Is something wrong with my computer?

    Nevermind. I figured out the solution. I ran Disk First Aid and it showed a lot of catalog problems so I just clicked Repair. When I tried to rebuild the desktop again, it worked. But if anyone else gets this error they can look at this thread.

    Hi JH,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you deleted  columns in SharePoint 2010.
    Please add the following string in <system.web> section of your web.config file :
    <pages validateRequest="false" enableEventValidation="false" viewStateEncryptionMode ="Never" />
    Note: before changing web.config, please make a backup for the file.

  • Has anyone really solved the "Media server unexpectedly quit" error?

    I've seen many posts and suggested solutions, but no definitive solution. This is a severe problem for Final Cut Pro, and it's presently keeping me from doing any kind of work with this software.
    Thanks for any help on this!!

    Greg,
    This solved the problem for me.
    "In Compressor, if the "Video Format" is set to "Automatic", Batch Monitor fails (with the "Media Server unexpectedly quit" error).
    changing the Video Format to NTSC and the frame rate to 29.97 (but leaving the Field Dominance on Automatic), the job submits and processes fine."
    Make Video Format PAL and the frame rate 25, if working with PAL sources.
    Good luck,

  • Since the Version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble your windows and tabs" .

    Since the version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs" This has not occurred with previous versions. If I click on the box "restore" and close firefox the problem reoccurs if I click close I lose the bookmark sidebar. I am so sick and tired of these frequent and buggy updates (every one since 17.0 have caused norton 360 to stop detecting tracking cookies for several weeks and or broken the norton toolbar) that I will uninstall firefox and switch to another browser if this does not change.

  • Unexpectedly Quit Error

    I keep getting an unexpected quit error while using imovie - any ideas?

    Hi
    You got to supply lot's of more info - to let us have a possibility to suggest.
    Q: is very like - Something is wrong - What's it ?
    There are zillions of way that a Mac can close down.
    What did You try to do ?
    How much free space is there on the Start-Up hard disk ?
    Did You try any troubleshooting ? If so What ?
    Other devices connected ?
    Other programs running in same time e.g. Screen Saver, Energy Saver etc. ?
    What material did You use video codecs, audio file formats and photo file types ?
    As You see - there are so much needed to set us on track to find the culprit.
    Standard answer follows
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref. file
    iMovie pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    com.apple.iMovie9.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
    • Disconnect all external hard disks and try - FireWire, USB/2, AirPort or Net-work connected.
    To work OK I prefer FireWire AND it must be Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT DO for video - neither for iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD any version ! This also includes any USB-memory sticks.
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09 or 11)
    • Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • iMovie updated ?
    • QuickTime updated ?
    • Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

    I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

  • IPad one frequent unexpected quits

    I have an iPad first version 3g with 64 GB and the newest iOS.  Yet Safari on it frequently unexpectedly quits even when Safari is the only thing running, and
    the cache and cookies are clean, and the iPad reset.  It happens less often on Apple Support Communities, but it can happen here too. Has my RAM gone bad, is there a way to fix its directory?  Is there any other reason it might be going bad?

    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
    The First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If problems persist there may be am internal hardware failure.

  • ICal gives "unexpectedly quit" error when loading

    I submitted a topic question earlier because I had a problem with iCal not loading. I received an answer that worked for a little while. Now it does not work. On my original user, iCal will not load the calendars I was using. It always eventually times out with an "unexpectedly quit" error. I created a new user which loads all of the calendars perfectly each time. I copied the calendars to the original user, but iCal still will not load them. I tried reloading iCal from my Tiger disc. I have asked several very knowledgeable Mac consultants, but they are stumped. Anyone have a clue? I am tired of switching back and forth between users.

    I am having the same issue and it just started in the last week. One day, iCal just wouldn't load. I thought it might have something to do with Syncing up with .Mac so I tried to restore to my previous sync. This didn't work either. Deleted plist files as well with no results. Has anyone tried reinstalling Mac OS X from their original discs? I'd hate to go this route because of all the updates I have installed. Here's a short section from the 'Submit Bug Report'.

  • Frequent "unexpectedly quitting" applications

    I recently purchased the middle-line MacBook. I have had it less than three weeks and several dozen times I have had error messages "The Application has unexpectedly quit". I don't run too many programs at once- this has happened with iTunes, AIM, Safari, and Skype all being run, so I don't think that it is a RAM problem. AIM quits the most frequently- a couple times a day. I have also had problems with iMovie. Any suggestions or anyone else have this problem? It is a brand new computer- I haven't even had time to drop it yet!! Thanks!

    AIM is incredibly unstable on Macs, try Adium as a replacement
    have you repaired your permissions lately? might have something to do with the unexpected quittings, give it a try (apps>utilities>disk utility>select "Macintosh HD">click repair disk permissions
    goodluck

  • Motion 5 "Media server unexpectedly quit" error :(

    Hi,
    I was using Motion and everything was working great, until yesterday, now almost everytime I try to publish a generator or export for email and other, it aborts it and gives this error message "media server unexpectedly quit". I can export as movie, and sometimes even though this happens while publishing a generator, it still gets it saved and Im able to use it in FCPX. Its impossible though to export for email.
    I already trashed preferences with digital Rebellion software, removed with this same software and reinstalled. Same thing all the time.
    Someone else having this issue? Anybody knows how to fix this? I would greatly appreciate any help.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Alex

    Hi, Jim,
    Yes, many thanks! Thats some progress. It makes me feel theres hope so I wont need to wipe clean my HD and start from scratch.
    I did what you suggested:
    1. When I sent an export to Apple Devices, in which the Share monitor opens, and fails with the message mentioned above, I get this lines in console:
    4/24/13 11:28:50.955 PM Motion[307]: objc[307]: Class CMIOGraphService is implemented in both /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreMediaIO.framework/Versions/A/CoreMediaIO and /Applications/Motion.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreMediaLion/CoreMediaIO.framewor k/Versions/Current/CoreMediaIO. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

    2. When I tried to publish a generator, as usual, it aborted and gave the message error, and I got this in console:

    I dont know what all this above means. I will go ahead and remove Motion cache files and se about the fonts.
    Many thanks.

  • I frequently get an error message "url not valid" on known good URL's

    This error message comes up frequently even when using bookmarked URL's that have worked in the past. Sometimes closing and relaunching Firefox works, sometimes rebooting is necessary.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Successfully upgraded to 3.3 Unable to backup to external hard drive. Aperture closes unexpectedly without error message.

    Upgrade to 3.3 was successful. My library is stored on an external hard drive and I have vaults stored on different hard drives. Aperture seems to be functiong OK but I am unable to backup to my external hard drives. The application seems to go through the process of upgrading the library again and quits unexpectedly at step seven without an error message. Anyone come up with a work around before Apple sorts this bug out?

    What do you mean when you say "unable to backup to my external drives"?  Are you updating your Vaults?  If so, are you able to create a new Vault?  If you are, create them and confirm that they work.  If they work, delete the old Vaults and keep the new ones.

  • ITunes unexpected quit error

    I am unable to open iTunes.  I get an unexpected quit message.  I am not able to open in safe mode.  What is wrong and how can I fix it?  Thanks so much in advance.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • IChat - Application unexpectedly quit error after Leopard upgrade

    iChat was working fine until the installation of Leopard - now I get "Application unexpectedly quit..." error with an option to "ignore", "send error script to Apple", etc. This happens all the time now, so cannot use ichat at all. I've looked to re-install the iChat component of Leopard using Pacifist software, but this does not help. I've looked at the various discussion topics in this forum but I still cannot seem to get to an answer that works. Any ideas?

    Without launching iChat from the DOCK click and Hold the icon and then select Show In Finder.
    When that window opens click and hold the title of the Window
    Where does the Path say you are ?
    It should read Applications, your Hard Drive Name and possibly the Computer name.
    It should not mention anything about a Previous System (I suspect it does in fact do this)
