How can I avoid frequent force quits?

I frrequently have to force quit my IMac using Mountain Lion, but I had much the same problem w/ Snow Leopard and Lion. The problem occurs most often when I switch from incoming comcast mail to incoming mac. or gmail, all of which have folders in my Mail folder, but it fairly often occurs with Safari and sometimes w/ other applications. I regularly repair disk permissions and rebuild the mailboxes and have run Disk Warrior 4.4, all to no avail, and I have discused tthe problem at length several times with seemingly competent technical representative at AppleCare, but the problem always returns.  I shall be most grateful for any help U can provide. 

Many thanx, markwmsn, for your fine addn'l help. I added a new user as U suggested and switched back and forth between the new user's A/C and my three e-mail accounts and also between my own accounts w/o needing a "force quite" all morning, so everything is working well now. Have not yet needed a "force quite" on Safari or Address Book either. U may well have fixed everthing, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed because of my bad past experience. Thank U, thank U. thank U!!!!!!

  • How can I avoid the need to OFTEN refresh or recover HP 2000 notebook?

    How can I avoid the need to OFTEN refresh or recover HP 2000 notebook? Windows 8.0.

    I found your support page by searching E0M18UA#ABA (as opposed to EOM18UA#ABA) which I assume was a simple typo. To answer your original question, the answer is to identify and isolate the cause of the errors and issues you are experiencing. Once you identify each issue, you can find what it takes to get beyond them without having to refresh or recover so frequently.
    You can only troubleshoot and identify the issues that are currently happening. If you are getting freezing right now, first take a look at this document specific to the freezing to narrow down the cause: Computer Locks Up or Freezes (Windows 8)
    A link to this document is contained in the previous one, but it is worth pointing out that this might be valuable to test for hardware failures: Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    Another valuable tool when trying to identify the source of the problems, is to perform a clean boot after having one of the issues and trying to recreate it. This shows how to  remove  startup items. A good strategy is to disable half of the available items first, then restart and try to recreate the issue. If you cannot recreate it then perhaps there is a problematic startup item. If you can recreate it then disable half more, and repeat a few times until you empty the startup items.: How to perform a clean boot in Windows
    I hope this helps, and by no means is this a recipe to fix your current issues, but a few strategies to help you better identify the issues.

  • How can I avoid the GB update?

    My phone works perfectly and I am happy with it just the way it is.  How can I avoid having the GB update forced upon me?  I don't want to have to do a factory reset or go through any other gyrations to get the update to work and I have heard of just too many issues with the GB update.

    vereyezuhn wrote:
    I understand not wanting to have the update because of the posts on here, but honestly, for every bad GB post on here, there are thousands of people who have absolutely no problems with it. You'll only see the negatives on here, the people who come here just to complain about it. Personally, my DX works perfectly with GB. I love it, love the new colors and options and the new homescreen and dock bar.
    +1, no issues for me....

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

  • How can i avoid restarting tomcat server when servlet is modified?

    please advice me that how can i avoid restarting the tomcat server, whenever a servlet file is modified in my application. is their any way ?

    No probs. Here's how I do things...
    1. Install tomcat as normal (e.g. I install to C:\Apps\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4)
    2. Create a webapps directory in your eclipse project with the following directory structure
    MyEclipseProject
       - src
       - conf
       - webapps
          - MyApplication
             - META-INF
             - WEB-INF
                - classes
                - lib
                - pages3. Set the project's output folder (e.g. bin folder) to webapps/MyApplication/WEB-INF/classes
    4. Put all your jar files in the lib directory
    5. Put JSPs / HTML in the pages directory (you may also want to create additional directories for TLDs, config files etc)
    6. Ensure your web.xml is in the WEB-INF directory
    7. Although it isn't essential I create a context.xml file and store it in META-INF, e.g.
    <Context reloadable="true">
        <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/struts-config.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/tiles-defs.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/validation.xml</WatchedResource>     
    </Context>I use this to set monitored resources that will trigger an automatic appliation reload and to configure JAAS (not shown). See the Tomcat documentation for additional information.
    8. In the 'conf' directory I create a server.xml file used to configure Tomcat (you can copy the one from your <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/server.xml).
    After copying the file change appBase attribute in the host element to be the full path to the webapps directory. You can also change the HTTP and HTTPS ports if you wish
    9. Download and install the Tomcat Launcher plugin from Sysdeo.
    10. In Eclipse's Preferences menu you will see a new entry for Tomcat. Click this then
    a. Set your Tomcat Version
    b. Set your Tomcat Home
    c. Set "Context declaration mode" to server.xml
    d. Set the configuration file to the full path to your server.xml file created in step 8
    On the "Advanced " sub page select all relevant projects to add to the Tomcat classpath
    On the "JVM Settings" page add all the jars in your WEB-INF lib directory to the class path
    On the "Source Path" page select all relevant projects
    Now if you start Tomcat using the Tomcat icon, you will be able to remote debug your application. If you change web.xml (or any other file in your context.xml watched resources) it will automatically reload. Any changes to JSPs will automatically be picked up (providing your tell your browser not to use the page in cache - e.g. CTRL+F5 in IE)
    There are some limitations that I'm still working on however. Primarily that I haven't included the Tomcat Manager application in my webapps directory, so Sysdeo cannot perform a reload. This means that if I change a source file, and eclipse auotmatically rebuilds, Tomcat doesn't pick up the change unless I either change a watched resource file (e.g. web.xml) or stop and restart Tomcat.
    There's no reason why this can't be fixed, I just haven't got round to it yet.
    I'm sure there are lots of other (probably better) ways of achieving the same thing. This was the first method I tried and it worked, so I stuck with it. I'm not a Tomcat config guru and I'm sure other forum users could provide some improvements should they wish.
    Post if you get into trouble, however I won't be able to respond until next week.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • I have made a book of my I Photo pictures. In certain layouts there is a textframe. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it or should I delete the text "Write your text here" ?

    I have made a book of my iPhoto pictures. In certain layouts there is a text frame. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything?  Should I just leave it untouched or should I delete the instructing text "Write your text here"?

    Most pages have layouts for pictures only or pictures with text boxes. Either select the same layout for that page but the one without the text box or put a space in the text box.
    Putting a space in the text box will avoid getting the warning when ordering that there's an unfilled text box in the book. The box will not be visible in the final product.  You can and should check the book before ordering by previewing it as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

  • How can I avoid (on a mac) getting called on Skype...

    How can I avoid (on a mac) getting called on Skype when I'm not signed in?
    It's really annoying.
    I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way, but suddenly I get the skype-calling-sound, and I have to log into the skype app to abort the call. The persistent calling bastards kept on calling after I aborted the call and left the app, so I ended up muting my speakers for a while. It really shouldn't have to be this troublesome.

    That's like asking how many cows can I get into a field.  It depends on the size of the field, size of the cows, the terrain of the field, etc.  We could use a bit more information on what you're trying to accommplish:
    1 - where are the photos being downloaded from.
    2 - how big are the photos?
    3 - where are you going to put the photos, i.e. into folders, into an iPhoto library?
    4 - how big is the hard drive in the Mac Pro and how much free space do you have on it?
    etc., etc, etc......

  • How can i avoid displaying runtime error in intractive report

    hi gurus
    my question is, in interactive report when i reach 20th secondary list after that am getting runtime error when i click again. So i wanted to know how can i avoid that run time error.
    regars
    imran

    Hi Imran,
    Basically we can have one basic list and 20 interactive lists.
    Once when we reached to 20th list then it goes to shortdump.
    So, inorder to avoid that we can modify the system field
    SY-LSIND.
    Just see this example and try this. I hope this will be useful for you.
    REPORT  ZSAMPLE1111.
    data: begin of itab occurs 0,
            matnr like mara-matnr,
            mtart like mara-mtart,
            mbrsh like mara-mbrsh,
            end of itab.
    data: begin of jtab occurs 0,
          maktx like makt-maktx,
          spras like makt-spras,
          end of jtab.
    select matnr mtart mbrsh into table itab from mara up to 10 rows.
    loop at itab.
    write:/ itab-matnr, itab-mtart, itab-mbrsh.
    hide itab-matnr.
    endloop.
    at line-selection.
    select maktx spras into table jtab from makt where spras = 'EN' .
    case sy-lsind.
    when '1'.
    loop at jtab.
    write:/ jtab-maktx, jtab-spras.
    endloop.
    when '20'.             * changes see here.
    sy-lsind = 1.
    when others .
    write:/ 'name',sy-lsind.
    endcase.
    I hope this will be helpful for you.

    Illustrator has not been responding for over a week, I can't open or force quit it. I've already uninstalled, reinstalled, and deleted the preferences folder, but the icon in my dock seems corrupt and is causing the program to not respond and I can't delete it.

    Tamara,
    Did you reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • How can I avoid a full scan when ...

    Hello
    How can I avoid a full scan with I apply the aggregate function "MIN"
    SQL> select min(c1) from hh;
       MIN(C1)
             1
    Execution Plan
       0      SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE
       1    0   SORT (AGGREGATE)
       2    1     TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'HH'Regards
    James King

    The table 'hh' does not have statistics. Assuming that there is an index on the column c1, statistics are computed on the table and its indexes, you may see a
    INDEX (FULL SCAN (MIN/MAX)) of the index on column 'c1'.

  • Every time I sync my iCal computer with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications?

    Every time I sync my iCal on my computer through iTunes with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications? I have been doing this for several years and this problem is a more recent issue, like in the last 6 months. I have been deleting the duplicate entries, on both systems, but some duplicates reappear through "general" entries that are connected to the correct color for a Calendar, but not the name. I am going nuts and wasting tons of hours trying to get the 3 calendars to sync without generating duplicate entries.

    Choose one of the Calenders on ONE of the computers OR the MobileMe as the Master / correct account.
    The REINITAILISE the data of MobileMe within preferences on the computer defining the datatransfer correctly (in the advanced box of preferences). The synchronise iphone contacts and calender directly on-line to MobileMe.
    I posted a question on this today, and gave my own reply !
