IChat opens and immediately shuts down

In the past two weeks my iChat has stopped working. I will try to open it and I will sign on for a second or two and the program will shut down immediately afterwards. I recently purchased an iSight, but that worked for 2-3 weeks before iChat stopped working. I have not downloaded anything or changed anything to affect this problem. I have also tried reading previous posts to see if anything can help. I tried restarting my computer on safe mode and restarting it back up but iChat still does not work. If someone could please help me that would be very helpful. I am using Tiger and I have the newest version of iChat and I have run all the software updates that my computer can find on the Internet. Someone please help me!

Thank again. This is what it says. Even though it says broken pipe, I wasn't sure if you wanted to see this information.

Premiere Elements Opens and immediately shuts down - How to fix?

I purchased Premiere Elements 8.0 today and the program would crush down immediately after opening.
I did all of the following:
- Uninstall and reinstall the program (3 times) and rebutted the computer every time the new installation took place
- Installed the newest version of QuickTime
- Checked that my home computer is more than compatible with the Premiere Elements system requirements
- uninstalled all previous versions of the software
What else should I be checking?
Thanks for the help.

I have a mac OS X and when I close it and reopen my screen opens and then shuts down for an instant and then reopens. Does anyone have this occur?? I have shutdown and restarted often.

A Safe Mode boot might help ..
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
See if the problem persists.

When I open Firefox, I'm prompted to create a profile, but every time I click the create profile button, the window opens and immediately shuts.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla several times. I've read online about looking for a profile.ini file, that file does not exist on my computer. Everytime I open firefox, the choose user profile box appears, and when I click create profile, a window opens and immediately closes.

If even the Mozilla folder isn't there then it is possible that Firefox already crashes before being able to create that folder structure.
Try to do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Double tap your home button to bring up the most recently used apps (task bar). With your finger hold it on any of the those apps until they all start to jiggle. Each app will now show a in the upper left corner. Touch the minus on the Mail App to fully close it. Touch your home button once again to stop the apps from Jiggling, then again to get back to your home screen.
I would then Reboot your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Try the mail app and see if you can navigate again.
If neither option helps, it sometimes helps to delete the mailbox, then reinstall it.

TS1702 I updated Facebook application and I can't open it it shut down immediately

I updated Facebook application and I can't open it it shut down immediately what shall I do ?
And how to change my Facebook profile picture or cover photo from my I pad ?

Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
If that doesn't work, look in the app's page in itunes. It's entirely possible Facebook has put out a 'bad update' that is crashing. Look in the reviews to see if others have your problem.
There are other ways to use Facebook without the app. You can use safari to access either the regular facebook site or m.facebook.com . or you can look for third party apps. I have one called Facely but there are others.
the 'official' facebook app is buggy at best.

My friend says:I can open Safari OK, but as soon as I try to open Google, Safari shuts down. It either does so immediately, or once I type an address or search name into Google.Mac OSX version 10.3.9, and Safari 1.3.2

On behalf of a friend (who obviously cannot get on-line):
I can open Safari OK, but as soon as I try to open Google, Safari shuts down. It either does so immediately, or once I type an address or search name into Google. The systems no longer seem to be compatible. All was well until about three weeks ago. I've pressed the Safari Reset button several times to try that, to no avail.
The operating system is Mac OSX version 10.3.9, and Safari is 1.3.2.
Is there a solution? He does say his iMac is old and the OS antedeluvian
Would welcome any thoughts!
B

Sorry to say it, but he is correct!
Solution? Either update the OS and Safari if possible, or start saving!

Photoshop immediately shuts down and I get an error.

When I open Photoshop it immediately shuts down and I get an error. Is there an issue with CC? I also had the same problem with Illustrator and InDesign.

Photoshop CC2014 opens up and a minute later I get a message from windows saying the program has stopped running and windows is looking for a solution then a minute later message reads A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
I am operating Windows 7 Ultimate
Photoshop CC 2014
However Fireworks and Adobe premiere pro have no trouble staying open I have rebooted computer and also have uninstalled and re installed program

HT5361 I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open. It says to close mail and continue shut down. Problem is I can't open or close mail now. Can't shut down my computer at all. What can I do?

I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open. It says to close mail and continue shut down. Problem is I can't open or close mail now. Can't shut down my computer at all. What can I do?

If you cannot get mail to quit/force quit, you can always remove power from your Mac.
NOTE: removing power is a bad idea, and can result in data loss, but sometimes it is the only thing left to do.
Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the Mac will power off.
When you power back on, the Mac should reboot.

I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?

I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great.

If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
