Illustrator keeps force quitting

HELP! My Illustrator CC keeps force quitting. I have already uninstalled it and reinstalled it - not working. Somebody help me please. I am using Mac Yosemite. I tried to call adobe and I can't get anyone on the phone or live chat on here. Thank you in advanced.

Okay, I'll just want to let you know that I chatted with the support.
We did the following:
- Quit the Creative Cloud App.
- Deinstall Illustrator (the preferences included)
- Make a new user and log in there
- Download Illustrator: Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
(and also the newest Update. You can find it on this side too)
- Install Illustrator
- Change the user and try if it works.
At this point I left the conversation because the problem was gone. BUT then I deleted the test account and started the Creative Cloud App again.
After this the problem appeared again!
I just rebooted my computer and with it the Creative Cloud App started automatically. Till now I don't have problems anymore. Hope that won't change.

Adobe Flash CS4 keeps force quitting instantly.

When I was trying to work on an animation file (63.8 MB file), the program would force quit on me instantly without warning. I was able to keep it open yesterday, but today it won't stay open no matter what. I now realize my file keeps force quitting because of one of my voice files I've imported (Waveform audio). What confuses me is that that file is no different than my other voice file I've imported (except it's a second long than 3 seconds long). What should I do to keep my file open?

Actually, this IS the Photoshop forum. The Flash fora are HERE.
Good luck.

Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally

Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally.

Does your system meet these Mountain Lion System Requirements?:
General Requirements
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Supported
Models
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
And as user macsonrisanoted above, 4 GB of RAM is the practical minimum amount of RAM that Mountain Lion really needs since the OS itself uses at least that much often by itself.

Why won't my imovie run properly, I have to keep force quitting it?

I have version 9.0.4 and have had imovie for 2 years now on my new imac. When I first got it i tried making a movie by stringing together some of my video clips from iphoto, and even then the apple wheel would show up on the screen and nothing would happen so I would have to force quit. Even now when I open it eventually all my videos and pictures from iphoto will pop up on the bottom of the screen but it takes forever, and then when I go to click on one or anywhere on the screen for that matter the apple wheel comes up again! So sufficite it to say I HAVE NEVER ever been able to utilize my imovie. I have a wide number of pictures and videos (9,000 at least) in iphoto and am wondering if this is the reason for it being so slow because it is trying to load all of this data? (I have plentyyyy of storage left on my computer)
Yesterday I downloaded 9.0.4 update on apple website hoping that this would work, it asked me if I wanted to import my iphoto videos and I said yes and it took about 40 minutes, but I am still haveing the same problem....I wonder if I should have said "no" to this. Is there another UPDATE that I should downlaod to replace this version of imovie or is their something different i can do?
I'm running snow leopard version 10.6.8, 2.93 GHz, intel core i7

UPDATE: From reading some other post I believe that my large video files in iphoto are lagging my imovie so I guess I should have never imported the thumbnails, but the question is now how can I delete them from imovie? (so i can just import them manually when I work on a video) I go into the iphoto folder and see a folder labeled "thumbnails" and in that are 3 folders labeled 2011 2012 2013 and one more item (not a folder, but a piece of paper icon) but its labeled imovie data. I really dont want to delete anything but was wondering if this has anything to do with it.

Why do applications keep force quitting when try to open them?

Mail, microsoft word, chrome, firefox, iPhoto and another apps force quit wheni try to open them. i have run disk utility and onyx many times.

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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

I have to keep force quiting firefox, hard disc is continually spinning while using this web broser

I have downloaded the new version of firefox for my mac. When I use it the hard disc is continually running and slowing down the function of the system.
When I want to quit it also mentions that I need to force quit firefox.

What do you have open in Safari? Also, open the Spin Control utility.

Firefox crashed and now won't open - it freezes and I have to keep force quitting it.

I have uninstalled and re installed firefox on my macbook. I have restarted my computer. It started crashing when a friend asked me to video chat on facebook. I tried three times and firfox wouldn't comply so I went to safari. when I came back to firefox - firefox was not working at all. I get the spinny wheel as soon as I open it and it doesn't go to any webpage. I don't even get the this is embarassing window anymore. How do I get it to work again? I prefer firefox over safari.

UPDATE: From reading some other post I believe that my large video files in iphoto are lagging my imovie so I guess I should have never imported the thumbnails, but the question is now how can I delete them from imovie? (so i can just import them manually when I work on a video) I go into the iphoto folder and see a folder labeled "thumbnails" and in that are 3 folders labeled 2011 2012 2013 and one more item (not a folder, but a piece of paper icon) but its labeled imovie data.

Since i updated latest version 6.0.2, it keeps getting stuck and goes really slow and the coloured beach ball spins for ages, so all i can do is force-quit - how can i install the version before this version again?

On a Mac Book pro - running 10.6.8
Firefox was fine until the last couple of updates that happened without my consent (?).
Suddenly there were weird errors and crashes of Flash
and slow loading pages. Now it's gone into rubbish mode where
the beach ball spins at the slightest fast type or double-click and then all i can do is force quit.
It's as if it can't cope with anything anymore.
How do i uninstall and keep my bookmarks etc and re-install an earlier version of it as it was before it got updated?
Thanks

Hey Thanks for the link thing!
So i had tried it in safe mode, and thought that it was still in SMode but then realized that that stopped once i had closed it and reopened in aft/eve/ last night and started up again today, also. So i just tried it again in safe mode and it seems to not be doing it...but then it's so random anyway. But if i'm in safe mode like this there is no toolbar but i guess that's cool if that is what is making it sluggy and beach ball-y. But how do i stay in safe mode all the time? And if it is only in safe mode then does that mean i can't have the 3 addons i use - (java, QT, Flash- all the other vid things like divx etc are 'disabled' ) I thought those add ons were necessary to play/read things on the net?? Forgive my ignorance in this matter. But saying that, when it was going wrong, and i was clicking on audio links sometimes in the 'blank white page scenario' a popup would come and tell me that i would need ' QuickTime to play this track' and i would click 'continue' and it would link me to Apple to get QT...but i already have QT installed in my MBPro so i thought that was a bit weird...! when i just tried it now in safe mode it went straight to the audio link white page with player in the middle and played the track. But then as i said, it was a bit random before so i don't know if this was just a time when it worked...
Anyway, what do you think about my questions on operating in safe mode...should i have to do that?! i'll stay in Safemode until i hear back from you and see how well it performs.
Thanks for your help.

Safari keeps freezing and crashing on my macbook. Won't let me 'force quit', re-start or shut down. HELP!

Sometimes when I am surfing the internet each website gets slower and slower to load, and eventually the little loading rainbow icon just keeps going round and round and it has frozen and crashed. What concerns me also is the fact that when this happens it won't even let me 'force quit Safari'. Although I can still bring other applications up (other than the internet), it won't let me shut down or restart either. The only way to get the internet working again is to press the power button which I know I shouldn't do, but what choice do I have when it won't let me force quit, restart or shut down?
I am up to date with all the software updates. Because I was having this crashing problem I downloaded both iBoostUp (off app store) and MacKeeper off the internet to scan for hidden viruses etc, but it still hasn't eradiated the problem.

Tell us what Extensions you put there; if no extension, what other apps you installed BEFORE this began to occur.
You must fall under one of these situations.

OS10.7 mail keeps freezing -- force-quit doesn't help

The Mail app on my OS10.7.5 keeps freezing, if that's the right word. The little circle-things next to each account continue to go round and round, but nothing is downloaded, download speed quickly drops to 0KB/sec., and I have to force quit.
Cannot even click on anything -- including Preferences -- or I get a "no response" and…. have to force quit.
Reinstalled the OS, and that didn't help.
Each time I open it anew, it does, however, update what I think is the correct number of messages to be downloaded (currently at 216).
Would greatly appreciate any advice!
-Robert

In case anyone's paying attention….
I've since tried removing (placing onto the desktop) the com.apple.mail.plist and com.apple.mail.plist.lockfile files from the Library>Preferences folder, but to no avail. It does allow Mail to stay open longer, but no inbox or any other box appears at all anymore in the Mail window (which I assume is to be expected), and when I attempt to go into Preferences or anything else, Mails stops responding and I need to force-quite.
I'll keep searching around for information, but any help would be most appreciated...
Thanks in advance.

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.

I keep getting told that i have run out of application memory and have to force quit applications. Not sure why this happens or what I do to fix it.

I keep getting told that I have no more application memory and have to force quit applications. Why does this happen and how do I fix it? This issue has only started since I started using Mavericks 10.9.2.

Have you checked how much space you have left on your HDD? You may find some useful information here:

I am in Aperture 3, editing from RAW, i get a beachball every 5 or so edits, so have to force quit to keep working.
I created a new aperture library to see if that would remedy the situation.. it does not.
Very time consuming.. can anyone help? ami doing something wrong? looked for software updates on my computer and did not fine any for aperture.
any ideas? Thank you

How much RAM, how full is the hard drive, and what computer? 8 GB RAM is recommended, and I also recommend that you do not upgrade to OS 10.7 Lion at this time.

I was recently prompted to update iPhoto and make changes to the library. I did it but it keeps hanging up in step 5 or 6 and won't complete the cycle. I have used force quit, rebooted and started again several times. How do i get this to work?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.
