Mac crashes while typing.

This is weird. I've been having problems with my Mac crashing if I type in any sort of document operation. i.e. Text edit, PAGES, etc. It started when I was typing using the "Text Edit" program. I thought maybe I was just typing up too large of a draft for the program to handle so I then tried using my trial of Apple's "Pages" program. Same thing. I even downloaded a totally independent program and typing in it also caused my Mac to crash. It doesn't crash if I'm typing an email or anything online. For instance what I'm typing now would have already crashed my Mac if it were in any other program. I don't get any sort of warning or message. I'll just be typing and I'll hit a certain key and my Mac is suddenly off. It doesn't power down or anything. Just as if it were unplugged. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Firstly thank you for the response.
No, I don't hear or see anything before it happens. Absolutely nothing. One second I'm typing and the next it is completely shut down. I don't get any type of warning message or hear anything. Its just as if I were to unplug it from the wall. Then it is unresponsive when I try to turn it back on for a few seconds. Sometimes when I turn it back on the fan is running loudly and I have to shut it back down and reset it again by unplugging everything.

Mac crashed while I was editing in Lightroom 3.

My Mac crashed while working photos in Lightroom 3. Just installed 3 days ago. Running Lion. Any idea what the issue could be? I turned it off lastnight. Afraid to turn it back on at this point.

Hi, Bobby -
I am not sure of the model but I know it is before the Silver Bullets.
Let's see if we can narrow it down - the type, and usually the specific model, can be important. These Apple KBase articles can help you identify the model.
Is it a laptop/portable machine?

Crashing while typing

The itouch 4 (new this Christmas) started crashing from typing. May have started on Jan 1 but not sure. Anyone else run into this issue?

Things like that just happen sometimes. If it keeps recurring:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

PremierePro 5.5.2 Mac Crashes While Loading Tiffen Dfx 3

Anyone using the Tiffen dfX 3.0 filters?
Since updating to PPro 5.5.2, Premiere crashes while attempting to load the Tiffen filters. Updated to Tiffen's most recent release 3.0.4.1 but crashes whenever I attempt to launch PPro.
Ned Soltz

Tiffen has just released v 3.05 of DFx and that fixes all crashing issues!

Mac crashes while importing / viewing photos in Lightroom

Does any one have any clue as to what might be causing my Mac to crash/stall when I am:
Using Lightoom to import files / viewing the files in library while they download. (It doesn't crash if I just leave it to download and don't view the files).
I'm downloading from high speed Lexar CF cards / using their pro CF card reader (in express port)
I'm working on a Mac Book Pro, running Lion!
Never had this problem when I used same cards / readers under Windows 7 64 bit in Lightroom!

Send the crash log to Adobe. The crash log can be had from the console app, or by looking in your CrashReporter folder in your Library.

Mac crashes while using illustrator

Every time when I use Illustrator CC under MAC OSX 10.9.4 my Mac craches completely. Dark Screen and the message "The Mac shut down because of an error". My colleagues have all the same problem. It's pretty annoying, because its not possible to work with Illustrator at the moment...

Hi PixelAri,
I would like to have a look into this issue. Can you please let me know if we can connect using a connect session ?
When you reboot the OS again, can you run `sudo sysdiagnose` in the "Terminal" application of the OS and send the resulting file to me.
With Best Regards,

Keynote crashing every 2-3 minutes while typing

Hello All,
I'm going slighty nuts, because keynote (latest version and revisions) are crashing every 2-3 minutes while typing.
I make presentations for a living and the situation is getting a litte precarious.
So... I did the full monthy: uninstallation, disk permission repair, reinstallation... permission repair...
The weird thing is, my business partner has an identical machine and has no problems...
Any clue? Buggy memory? buggy gpu memory?
Thanks
Michel

There are two options, try option 1 first, if that does not work use option 2:
1 - a custom repair for Keynote 6.1
Try this repair for iWork applications, its sorted out many similar problems in the past
ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by usingAppcleaner from Mac Update to      do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and      click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.
2 - Clean install Mavericks by      back up all your work and user files, repartition the hard drive,
then re-install Mavericks
To reinstall OS X, you must be connected to the Internet
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
Select Disk Utility, then click Continue.
Select your startup disk on the left, then click the Erase tab.
Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Format menu, enter a name, then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X, click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions.

The panic was caused by the MAXPower device or its software, maybe with help from one or more of the other third-party system modifications you've installed.
First check the manufacturer's website for an update. If there is none, or if it doesn't help, I suggest you remove the device, back up all data, and then remove the software according to the manufacturer's instructions. Reboot and see whether there's an improvement. If there isn't, post another panic report.

My mac keeps crashing while watching video online

I am new to using a Mac, but it keeps crashing while watching online video (netflicks, espn ect.) while on battery power. Battery
power is sufficient when this happens. I cannot restart until I plug back into power. Any advice would be appreciated.

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions. No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

My photoshop CS4 keeps crashing while I am in the middle of editing a photo. I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4. I have tried to contact support and I was directed here.

You were redirected to this user forum because CS4 is no longer supported by Adobe at all.
We'll need a lot more info before we can help.
You'll have to manually determine whether Photoshop CS4 is updated to version 11.0.2 (the Adobe auto updater is most unreliable in CS4), and give us plenty of other information.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
