Has anyone had ZERO crashes?
I just read a post where a poster was requesting help with constant Safari crashes...someone suggested trying a reset and if that doesn't work, a restore, and if that doesn't work, consider returning the phone.
This got me wondering; are there folks out there who have NEVER had a crash? It doesn't really seem plausible, since we all have basically identical installs and no conflicting apps*, but I suppose anything's possible.
So if you've never had Safari quit to the home screen, or the iPod stop playing for no reason, or the phone just turn off, etc., let's hear from you. I'd also be curious to hear how you use the phone, and how long you've had it (frankly I'm not expecting many replies). Do you leave it on 24/7 or turn it off at night? Do you surf the web while playing music? Do you use SMS? Maps? Do you email photos? In other words, do you put the phone through its paces?
For my part, I have crashes pretty much every couple of days, but they don't dominate the experience. A reset staves them off for another day or so.

*Part of me wonders if Apple's insistance on no 3rd party apps isn't just a temporary measure to help them nail down the bugs without the added nuisance of people installing conflicting non-Apple software. After all, we're the world's largest paying focus group at this point.
I never had a crash (other than exhausting battery once and iPhone not coming back to life without holding the home button for some time) of any kind.
My usage is pretty light, though. I only played with email a little after I bought the iPhone (on release date). I do use internet from time to time (mostly on Edge network), I only charge it if battery falls below 50% charge which is usually once in 3 days (with 3+ hours of usage logged over that time), also I use calendar and alarms. I do not use iPod or YouTube, though (almost completely - I show those to friends from time to time).
The only problem I had with iPhone was activation - whole thing took 26 or so hours until I called at&t activation hotline and got everything resolved in 10 minutes.

Has anyone had iMovie11 crash during stability analysis in lion
Never had a problem in snow leopard but now every time I try to do a stability analysis the program crashes. No problem with people analysis, just stability. Anyone else having this issue?
It's been awhile so don't hold me to it but I think this is right. Go to your Library, select Preferences, and then move the following file onto your desktop:
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
After that start iMovie back up again (make sure you closed before you started this) and it should rebuild and your problem is solved. If so you can delete the file on your desktop. If I have gotten this horribly wrong just drag the file back in there.
For what it's worth I now use Onyx to clean up my computer, including permissions, and have had zero problem since.
Hope this works and let me know. -
Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?
Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
Two more questions:
1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

Has anyone had any of the iLife programs crash on them? especially imovie 6
Has anyone had any of the iLife programs crash on them?
I have had my new intel imac 20" for 2 weeks now and i like it a lot...
except I have been getting crashes on imovie (especially), and garageband.
I have had about 10 crashes total so far in about 2 weeks.
Is this sound normal?
thanks, technoreidHow much spare hard disc space have you got? ..Could your disc be so clogged that there's no room for any more movie?
You'll need about 10% of your total hard disc space - e.g; 6GB for a 60GB hard disc - to be kept empty for your Mac to do its "housekeeping" (..creating temporary files, indexing things, and so on..) and iMovie footage uses about 13GB per hour of video.
So if you have a 60GB hard disc, and it's only got 15GB spare, then 6GB of that will really be needed by the Mac itself, giving you about 9GB of usable space, and if you import half an hour of video (6GB) and start cutting it around and editing the audio too, and duplicating a few clips, and adding stills, you're soon going to run out of space!
If your Mac's disc is almost full, you'll probably need to get an external FireWire disc ..say a 160GB or similar size.. then format it as 'Mac OS Extended' (..by selecting that add-on disc and using the 'Erase' tab in the Disk Utility program..) and then you can copy your project over to that new, empty disc, and continue editing it there. -

I have a number of hard drives that my Mac Book Pro no longer 'recognises' at least for very long. When I turn them on the deskstop icon shows up but then shortly afterwards I get a message saying that it has been unplugged incorrectly. I haven't unplugged it any of them. When I try to run very/repair disk before they disappear I get the error in the subject line above. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you rectify it?
The drive is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced, or you have some other hardware fault.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac.... Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it. Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together? I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day... yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first. Sorry to say this is a major lemon. Help!
Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem... got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem. My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion. Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem.... Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh No problem! Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today! I'm getting mad... It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer . & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update. I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride... & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to start over. When are they going to fix this! 'Not feeling very positive'. I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system. 14 days... oh please...

Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.
Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
since and all features working. -

When that didnt help, the gave in. I asked my money back, as in the guarentee. Thet denied flat out. "Sir this is not OUR software causing the problem, but OSX. Go there with your complained!"
Alsoo there newsletter......i UNLISTED 9 times now and still i get 5-8 spam mails a week.

Has anyone had a problem with their computer recognizing their I phone ? I had to replace my hard drive And reloaded iTunes but know it doesn't recognize my phone but it will download pictures from it?
I had my HD replaced under the recall program. I am running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7 on a 2.8GHz iMac.
I haven't noticed any significantly different behavior of Safari since having my HD replaced and using Time Machine to restore my data. The only thing I've run across in about 2 weeks is that Safari's Preferences panel takes a bit longer to load than I remember.
One thing you can try is launching Safari from your computer's main Applications folder. If it still crashes, you can also try downloadng a fresh copy here: http://www.apple.com/support/safari/
Have you ever checked out Firefox? I personally like it better than Safari because it offers more security options, such as greater control over cookies, and supports many useful privacy and security plugins. -
NI cards have been qualified to operate only to zero degrees C. I need serial abd GPIB PCI cards that operate to -20C for military application. Has anyone had success using these cards at this lower operating temperature?
Hi,
I am not sure if this helps, but the ENET-232 is spec'd to operation at -40 degrees C.

Has anyone had luck streaming videos using Brightcove?
Are videos are located on a video server hosted by Brightcove in MP4 format. Using a web object in Captivate 8 we are able to embed the url and view the project fine. Once we publish and upload to our LMS, the course crashes once the url is encountered.
Has anyone had any success out there?Just in case anyone else has this issue, we resolved it simply by changing our browser setting to allow mixed/unsecure content which for the time being allowed us to identify the issue.

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?
Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them. Has anyone had a similar problem….thanks
If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

Has anyone had this issue? There is a strange fine white powder covering anything plastic in my apartment. It's coming from my iMac. It's a year and a half old (out of warranty). After 6 months of trying to figure this out, I found out yesterday when my local Apple Sore offered to fix it for $700. I want to know how toxic this powder is, since I've been breathing it for 6 months. A carcinogen I'll bet.
If an Apple employee (repair tech) doesn't know what it is.............
Suggest that you do a Google search for the "guts" of your model/generation iMac. See what the "guts" are made of and post back your findings.
We are just ordinary users like yourself that help out here. I for one, would be very interested to know if your iMac has a "monkey on it's back."
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
