Mac crashes after activating full-screen

Hello.
My Mac crashes completely, when I go full-screen in VLC or online in megavideo. Not all the time, but every 2-3 days I guess.
When I hit the full screen button or use the shortcut, first, my monitor turns black and then says, that he had lost connectivity. But there is nothing wrong with the cable, it doesn't turn back.
My Mac doesn't react on anything, i.e. any sounds like when increasing the volume. After doing a force shutdown, I can see running downloads having stopped. As I once have waited 1 hour before doing the force shutdown, I can say that downloads stop right when my monitor turns black, so I suppose the whole OSX crashes.
When this happens, the only thing I can do is do a force shutdown. I hav done all software updates and do not know what I can do else. Does anybody have any idea? Thank you very much for your help.
I have a Mac Mini 1,6GHz with 2GB Ram and a 24" Acer V243HQ, using a DVI cable.

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

My Mountain Lion mac crashes after resuming from sleep

Hello
My Mountain Lion mac crashes after resuming from sleep every time I use it
It happens every time the mac resumes from sleep and it started like a week ago
I remember installing the new updates for flash? and xquartz and nothing else.
I have also had microsoft word installed on my mac for about 1 weeks before this problem started so might be related to that
Please share with me any tips on how to fix this because I am really annoyed of losing stuff after each time my mac resumes from sleep

I have an iMac bought may -11, and it worked fine with Snow Leopard.
About a week ago I bought and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Everything went fine, and all software worked ok. iPhoto had some problems, but after installing update the system prompted to do, it has worked ok.
The propblem occurs now and then, when computer is waked up from sleep. The Desktop occurs, but no software starts, not even System Tools untlil rebooting the computer. Of course, I can not reboot the computer from "Apple menu", but holding the power button down.
This is very embarassing! OsX Mountain Lion has turned out to be a very big disappointment. I installed id because of iCloud (i have a new iPad, too with iOs 6 installed).
Can anyone help me? Is there any other way to solve the problem than re-installing good old Snow Leopard?
I would not like to do that, I bought Mac because I was bored in re-installing and recovering!
Thank you

NB100 touchpad scroll bar stops working after exit full screen mode youtube

I have few Toshiba laptops, satellite, and now netbook100.
All of them share one problem, touchpad scroll bar:
It will stop working after exit full screen mode in youtube.
Here is how to reproduce the incident:
1. using any mainstream browser, start playing a youtube video, click full screen button at the bottom right corner of the video.
2. click on the [cross] to exit the full screen mode. (next to full screen button.)
3. check if you scroll bar still functioning.
4. a reboot will restore the function.
Currently, Im on vista, I believe in XP you will have the same problem.
Searching in google (touchpad scroll bar stops full screen youtube) will return more people share the same question but no answer.
Environments: win xp all, win vista all.
Windows all most updated driver, touch pad driver up to date.
This is not a major tech problem but for a netbook, this is very annoying.
If anyone have this problem or answers, please share it here.
Thank you in advance.
regards.

I had the exact same problem on my laptop and after a lot of searching, I finally found the simplest solution that really works for me so here goes:
Once you exit the full screen video and the scroll pad has stopped working, click once anywhere on the youtube page(just to unfocus from the video) and press the spacebar button on your keyboard twice.
Et voila, your scroll pad should be working again. Beats the hassle of having to log off everytime.
Hope this helps

Before/After in Full Screen?

Keyboard controls stop working after exiting full screen

Hi everyone,
I have QT Pro 7.4.1, with a problem that started after upgrading to the .1 version.
When I exit full screen mode while watching a movie, the keyboard shortcuts for the player controls stop working. Instead, the computer beeps at me when I press the spacebar, etc. The keyboard controls still work during full screen mode, and after exiting full screen mode, I can still click on the play controls with the mouse to make them work. I've looked through the forum, but can't find anything about this. I also got this problem with one of my school's computers, with the same version of QT Pro. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a known bug?
Thanks,
Irene

Yep.
A bug of sorts.
A "click" on the small screen version will restore QuickTime Player "focus" and then the keyboard inputs will work as designed.

ITunes 10.2.2.12 crashes system with full screen visualizer

Can't seem to find a useful answer. 1 year old HP Pavillion running Win 7 (fully up to date), Core 2 Quad Q8200, 64-bit, 4Mb L2 cache, 6Gb DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce G210. A few months back I noticed that whenever I had iTunes full screen visualizer running, after about 1/2 hour or so (time varies but seems to play for a while before crapping out) my system would freeze and become completely unresponsive, requiring a hard power-down (keyboard and mouse - dead, monitor displays "no input signal").
I do not have this issue when visualizer isn't running. Also don't see this happening (yet) when visualizer isn't full screen.
My first round with this led me to believe there was a conflict with Windows going idle and iTunes not working with Windows to keep it active. So I disabled my idle times completely and that seemed to resolve it. Was able to listen to hours of playback without issue. Now, this week, it started happening again. Play iTunes, turn on full screen visualizer, after a short while sound will stop, screen will die, system will freeze.
Not interested in rolling back to earlier versions of iTunes. I want iTunes to work properly. I can't use it if it doesn't work.
Ideas on what I should be looking at/for? Video card problem? Temperature problem? ???
I work in IT, but not with hardware, so this is a little outside my area.

update: it's starting to happen much more quickly and frequently - basically all the time now. last time was 43 secs into the first song. I can no longer use the visualizer at all. This is the first real problem I've had with this machine since purchasing it 1/2010.
To clarify a little: my system doesn't go "dead" - if it means anything the indicator lights are blue whereas they're orange when inactive. It's the UI that dies - no signal to the monitor, no sound, no mouse or keyboard input, and no way to move forward without pulling the plug and restarting. Everything seeeems to come back ok when I restart, although I did start having wireless issues yesterday (a 3yr old linksys N). Separate issue or not, not sure.
I'm thinking it's gotta be hardware related, but i've been wrong once before.

Bug? Menu Bar Not Accessible in Safari After Watching Full Screen Video

Hi everyone,
I have had this Not accessible menu bar problem time to time while using Safari, and I finally figured out what caused it. It always happens right after you go to a full screen video mode, and then get back out, and now when you move the mouse curser to the top, menu bar doesn't show. Then a way to fix is by using the 4 finger gesture to go back to the desktop screen, and come back to safari (not too fast) and menu bar is again accessible. Why is apple not fixing this bugs? I have seen more thread about menu bar gone, so it's not just me.

Hit the escape key to exit full screen.
That may be a "works as expected/designed," but once you've exited Full Screen View, then reenter Full Screen View and play a video in full screen mode, the window switches out of Full Screen to display the video in full screen video mode. It doesn't stay in Full Screen view, like it is the first time around.
EDIT:
Esc exits full screen video mode, but you still cannot access the slide-out menu bar with the button. Repeatedly pressing Esc does not exit Full Screen View, either. This only appears on the first invocation of Full Screen view and video mode. Once you exit Full Screen, the window behaves differently.
Note that we have determined this is only affected by HTML5 video. I have to do some more testing to figure out if it is ClickToPlugin that is causing the issue.
What's a good source for straight HTML5 video?

Firefox 3.6.3 mac crashes after playing a few youtubes, is there a fix?

Firefox 3.6.3 mac, will often crash after playing a few YouTubes or navigating within youtube pages. Are others having this problem? Is there a fix?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.youtube.com

Hello Greg.
Make sure your Flash plugin is up to date. If it is and the problems are still there, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons, except Flash (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Mac Crashing after saving in Illustrator

I have a user here reporting their Mac crashes dead after saving in Illustrator. As it is happening, the audio skips then all dies. Any leads as to how this program could be causing this catastrophic of a problem?

donut,
If we are talking CS3 and Yosemite, and if it happens when saving to/placing from new location with Yosemite, you may get round it by using the Adobe Dialog instead of the OS Dialog in the Save As window (similarly for the Place window).

Elements Organizer 8 crashes after displaying initial screen

I have been using Elements 8 for over a year under XP and more recently W7.My catalogue has about 22k entries
For the last few days I have been experiencing a serious crash problem. If I launch the main screen and select Organize, the program starts, then crashes 5-20 seconds after an initial screen showing a screenful of thumbnails appears. The editor works OK.
Following some research on this forum and elsewhere I have tried numerous experiments (re-installing, launching directly with shift key, deleting prefs,disabling auto-analyzer, checking catalog by loading into trial version of Lightroom,,,), without success.
The only semi-workround I've found is to launch the organizer directly with the shift key, then rename the catalog and open it. Sometimes this keeps the program alive for a while. But it crashes again if I try to start up 'normally'.
Do these clues ring any bells? Especially with those at Adobe who know the product architecture?

Hi e james w west,
Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.
As I understand you are not able to work with Elements Organizer 12.
It seems that the old catalog has gone bad.
Please rename the old catalog as old.catalog name in the following location ;
All Users: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Catalog Name
Current User: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Catalog Name
After this you can try to launch Elements Organizer and it will ask to create a new catalog, please create a new one.
Let us Know if this helps or not.
Regards,
Sandeep

Skype on Mac crashes after a few seconds

Hi, so a couple weeks ago I was trying to use skype and it just kept crashing after a few seconds of me opening it. I've tried reinstalling it, updating it, updating my computer, nothing has worked. If I'm actually able to call someone it's fine, but otherwise it just crashes on me.

Hi Ruby,
are you using the latest Skype version 7.7? It was just released yesterday.
If it's still crashing for you on 7.7, then could you attach your crashlog to this thread?
Thanks,
Rene
