Mac Acrobat XI crashes when editing, commenting, or creating forms

Greetings,
Using the most current acrobat pro (11.0.01) version, no adobe third party plug ins, Mac OS 10.8.2, plenty of ram, document properties completely open, yet it crashes once I begin to use any editing or populate any field from a created form. I can replicate this every time and is rather frustrating! Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

You may have a Font issue.
First try Repairing permissions. (Disk Utility locate in Utilities Folder)
Next Open FontBook. and try to validate fonts.
If there are any that have out right warning in red remove those.
Those that are in yellow usually indicate you have duplicate copies. remove the duplicate copies keep the newest version only.
Mountain Lion (OSX.8.x) read the information here: http://www.phillipmjones.net/Font_Book.html.
See if this helps.
Also get rid of any postscript Fonts. Use the Open type version or Truetype only.

Acrobat / Reader Crashing When Editing Form Values

I'm supposed to be designing an interactive PDF form for a client using InDesign. They have sent me their current one but I found whenever I try to enter a field value into a text field, it crashes whichever app I'm using to view it.
I thought maybe the PDF was corrupted, so I created a new document from scratch with just one text field on there… and still they freak out just when I try to enter a value into it!
I then opened it in Apple Preview, and they work fine. Both PDFs in fact.
But in Acrobat / Reader all I get is the spinning wheel for ages and I have to force quit.
I'm running the latest version of Acrobat XI Pro on Mac OS X Lion with Adobe CC
Does anyone know what the problem might be? This issue is making the job hard to work on

It looks like you may not have the latest update (10.1.2) installed, so you might want to check that.

Repeatable Mac DW CS5 crash when editing anchor

Folks:
DW C5 fully updated, on new quad-Intel Mac 10.6.4 fully updated. Registered copy.
Ref: The code below, which is composed of single-cell table containing only an anchor and brief text inside a standard HTML 4.01 Transitional wrapper. This file passes the W3C validator.
DW C5 crashes whenever I attempt click on the anchor icon, in Design View, or within the anchor tag in Code View.
I tried deleting cache file MacFileCache-*****.dat and entire personal configuration folder. Tried deleting preferences. Tried total re-install. No effect, still crashes.
Advice?

SnakEyez02:
Thanks for your response and for trying to duplicate the problem.
I should mention that the code I posted is a cut-down of a much larger page, which happens to have been derived from a DOC file saved as HTML by OpenOffice. The origin of the code should not be an issue unless there is something invisible in the text.   More about this below.
The crash report is being generated by OSX, as DW disappears into the weeds. Here's the console log:

I tried pasting only the body code --copied from my initial post-- into a new HTML page. No improvement. That would seem to eliminate invisible characters or text encoding strangeness.
Based on some past experience with DW CS3 with insufficiently nested code, I put the test code inside a DIV tag pair. No improvement.
I opened a completely new document in DW CS5 and re-created the same structure. In Design View, I made a one-cell table, added brief text, and emplaced an anchor named as before. Here is the result:

Unless I'm missing something incredibly obvious, this is exactly the same code, with the exception of the quotes around the anchor name and the table specs (border and width). This code passes the W3C validator. No improvement: still crashes.
The same document is stable in DW CS3.
In sum, it seems that I can create a very simple, clearly valid html document that reliably crashes DW CS5 when the cursor is placed within the anchor definition (Code View) or the anchor icon is selected (Design View). This following a complete de-install and re-install of DW, including trashing preferences.
Very long shot: Is there a possibility of interaction with my DW CS3 installation which, (fortunately) I left intact?
Extremely long shot: Will a restart cure this problem? I'll try and post back.

Illustrator CC 17.1.0 crashes when editing preferences, user interface. Running on MacBook Pro i7 OSX 10.9.5

Illustrator CC 17.1.0 running on MacBook Pro i7 OSX 10.9.5 - crashes when editing preferences, user interface. Also crashes when quitting application. Anybody any ideas?

While 2 GB is the absolute minimum to install Mavericks, if you want to do anything with the Mac you need more then that. Upgrade your RAM.
Until you upgrade the RAM seriously consider shutting down the Mac nightly. You should also seriously review the items in the User Login Items to see if there are any there that you really don't need to have startup with your login to reduce the amount of RAM you are using.

PSE 6 on Mac Book Pro Crashes when opening a picture

Whenever I try to open a picture PSE crashes. This is similar to another post but I should not be having RAM or generation issues. I have removed and downloaded from different DMGs all to no avail. Please advise.
Thanks

Thanks for the comment but I wasn't asking about viruses. The thread I asked on solved the other user's issue because of the Norton incompatibility. I was referring to the original question which had nothing to do with viruses. I open elements and try to open a picture from iphoto to work on and elements quits. Since I don't have Norton or any other anti virus program, I was hoping there was another explanation which would apply to my situation. Any ideas?

There's really no need for Norton on the Mac - because there is no such thing as a Mac virus. I realize that this could change tomorrow, but as of today, there is no such thing as a Mac virus. There hasn't been for about a decade.
You can remove Norton. I removed it from my Macs about a decade ago.
To prevent any future viruses from getting in, set up a new sub-user account on your Mac, and start using it. Don't run your Mac as the Administrator.
When you run as a lowly user, your Mac keeps an eye over what you do, and demands the Administrator's name and password whenever you do something suspicious. That won't be a problem 99.9% of the time. It's only a problem when you try to install an application or a utility.
Keep that limitation in mind, and use it to your advantage. A virus is an application that pretends to be something else. It lures you into installing that virus onto your computer. Let's say in the future you download what you think is a photo. It's really a virus. You double-click on it to launch Photoshop Elements. Instead, you launch the virus, which starts to install itself on your Mac.
At that point, everything comes to a screeching halt when the Mac operating system stops the installation, and puts a message on the screen. That message will say something like, "Please type the Administrator's name and password to INSTALL THIS APPLICATION into the Applications Folder." That is your tipoff that you aren't dealing with a photo. You are dealing with an application.
At this point, you should ask yourself, "Why is a photo trying to install anything?" Whenever the Mac operating system asks for the Administrator's name and password, you should ask yourself if you know exactly what is being installed.
If you were running your Mac as the Administrator, then you wouldn't get this warning messages. The Mac would say, "Well, I guess he knows what he's doing, so I'll install this application." And the still-to-be-written virus would be installed on your Mac. It's a lot easier to keep viruses off your computer than to try to remove them once they get in.
This is why you don't need anti-virus software on the Mac - if you have an intelligent user operating the computer as a sub-user.

Iphoto crashes when editing scans

Hi,
I have scanned some old family photos and I am now trying to edit them (they are jpeg files). I've read many of the posts here and have followed every advice (newest iphoto version, rebuilt library, etc.....) Then I built the new library with a few of the scans imported and a few "regular" photos. Iphoto still crashes when trying to edit scans, but seems to be doing ok when editing the "regular" photos. Any advice?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos or each, both the b/w and color scans and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? It you don't crash when editing in the test library then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Just downloaded OS X Maverick on my I Mac. Pages crashes when I try to print. Do I need to upgrade Pages?

Just downloaded OS X Maverick on my i Mac. Pages crashes when I try to print. Do I need to upgrade Pages?

Make certain you have all the Software Updates installed that are available for Mavericks. Periodically, Apple will provide printer driver updates from principal vendors. If this does not show up via Software Update for your printer, the relevant driver bundle can be searched and downloaded from Apple.
The following link may help. At the end of that content is how to reset your printer. Occasionally, this may become necessary following an operating system upgrade.
OS X Mavericks: Solve printing problems.
I would also recommend that you run Disk Utility and verify/repair permissions. Then verify the boot drive. You may find some Pages or printer driver content with the wrong permissions.

PS CC crashes when editing panoramas or HDR made in LR CC from pictures taken by iPhone 5c.

PS CC 2014 crashes when editing panoramas or HDR made in LR CC from pictures taken by iPhone 5c. It is consistent. I have tried several different settings but does not get this to work. Seems like the import from LR to PS is not working as good as it did with LR 5 and CC2014. Anyone else seen anything like this? / Ola

Hi again,
I have deinstalled all versions of PS and reinstalled CC 2014. Updated the Graphic driver to the latest version. The system configuration is given below, processor etc. After reinstallation I have tried several combinations of import from LR to PS. It does not matter if it is a dng or a NEF raw file PS keeps crashing when I try to edit the imported file. See attached screen dump. Stressful… I have now tried everything I can think of and nothing has improved the situation so far. / Thanks Ola
