Major issues with my iMac- crashes and errors

In the past 2 weeks I have had multiple issues with my computer. 3 times the OS has crashed- twice I had to pull the plug to get it to do anything. I can't open Photoshop. I can't print. Adobe Bridge keeps crashing. I have to turn Airport off/on about once an hour because the internet stops working. This is my first Mac and I've had it about a year and a half, so I don't know a lot about the system. Most of my work is stored on an external hard drive and I have 292.32 GB available. I am looking for suggestions to get running normally agian because I really can't lose several days of working by taking this to an Apple store (45 minutes away). Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

It's good to hear that repairing permissions helped resolve the issue. Your Mac logs a lot of data about how the system is performing. Of particular interest is the CrashReporter logs that can be viewed by launching the 'console' application which can be found in the applications/utilities folder. In the left column you can open up the ~/Library/Logs where you will see then see the CrashReporter log. Open it up and you will probably find a number of crash reporter entries which may yield clues. It may be necessary to provide more details from the logs and let some of the expert users provide suggestions. You may find that some of your software is not up to date.
This CNET article provides an overview of the Crash Reporter:

  • Major issue with 8.1.2 and Mac OS 10.4.11

    Ok, I ran Apple software update today and installed a security update and the latest iLife updates. Now whenever I open Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 it automatically starts opening (apparently) every pdf on my computer. The only thing I can do is force quit from the dock. Yikes. I tried downloading Acrobat again and reinstalling, but the issue continues. I can't seem to find any mention of the issue here on on the Apple support pages. Any advice?

    Yikes. It's also doing the same thing when I browse to a pdf in Safari.
    I just deleted everything 8.1+ related off my system, and reinstalled 7.0.9... and that seems to have cleared up the issue. F
    Except, of course, for all the stupid nag screens about "upgrading" to 8.1.2.

  • My iMac crashes and reboots 9/10 times when Iog off an account. I looked at the Console for a log but I am not sure what I am looking for. What is the best way to try to find what is causing this?

    Hello,
    I have an issue where my iMac crashes and reboots 9/10 times when I log my wife's account off. I'd like to get it resolved as it is very annoying. We switch between accounts all the time and everytime it crashes I lose a bunch of info from my account. Can anyone help me understand how to fix this issue?
    After the reboot a window tells me that my system has recovered from a seriour issue (sounds much like Window$ to me...) and a crash report is show:

  • We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Thank you!

    We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned.  Thank you!

    Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
    Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
    When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
    When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
    I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
    I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

                      Hi , I suhail khan from india and i am user of iMac system 10,1.These days i am facing the sound enabling issue with my iMac system I am not able to hear sound in my iMac system.So kindly suggest me how to enable sound in my iMac . Please no the needful.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. If you've recently plugged anything into the audio-out (headphone) port, plug and unplug it a couple of times.
    2. From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
    Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
    3. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size.Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
    5. Reset the NVRAM.
    6. Reset the SMC.
    7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
    8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.

    From that article
    "Portables with built-in batteries"
    Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

    Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
    I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

  • Major issues with a add-on Emoji Cheatsheet and missing add-ons in Firefox 37.0.2 ?

    As soon as Firefox updated me to 37.0.2 installed I started having issues with missing add-ons and missing tool bar buttons.
    Instead spending all day reloading add-on from "Refreshing" Firefox I just started going through my add-ons and disabling them and restarting (4-5 at a time) till thinks went right. I spent a hour last night till I got down t last few that could because it . I left FIREBUG disable and things started working as is and Compatibility Reporter started working too.
    Well I woke up to start Firefox and to my shagrin it was messed up again. So I went back through and and remembered the few last add-ons I re-enabled right before I disabled Firbug. So I disable it and sure enough things went back to normal.
    What Add-on was that?
    '''Emoji Cheatsheet :: Add-ons for Firefox'''
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/emoji-cheatsheet/?src=ss]
    When the icon for it shows on my toolbar everything else shows, yet when it goes awal many other things malfunction. I tried reloading Firfox several times and nothing change. So when I disable it and restarted things were normal and working.
    Anyone else experience this?

    Sorry, the post about clearing your cache was meant for a different question.
    I suggest opening a ticket on the issue forums for this plugin: https://github.com/johannhof/emoji-helper/issues
    P.s. If it helps, I currently have 16 add-ons installed.

  • Imac crashed and will not boot up

    So my iMac crashed and will not boot. The power will come on and when it switches to the boot sequence it powers off.  I bought Black Tie protection at Best Buy but when I took it to them they shipped it to Apple. The problem was never fixed. Apple said it was a software issue to reload the OS. Well i did that and not even a day went by and it is doing the same thing. Any suggestions would be helpful...

    I agree with BGreg that you should run Apple Hardware Test , however run it in Extended Mode. If no errors turn up run it several times. It's a lengthy test so be patient. Also here is what Apple says about your symptoms in Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup.
    I hope you have been backing up your system, if not then if you can boot into Safe Mode as suggested you should immediately backup using either a clone or Time Machine. That should be the #1 priority to preserve your data.

  • Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

    The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse.  The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

    Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
    I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
    Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
    On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
    On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
    I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
    Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
    On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
    Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
    In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

  • Having major issues with InDesign CS6

    Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file.  Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
    In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
    I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document.  NOT GOOD!!!

    Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
    * Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
    * Corrupt Image(s)
    * Power Failures (power surges)
    * Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
    * Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
    If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:

    Hopefully this helps you.

  • Major Issues with iPod Touch - Please help!

    Hi, I am having major issues with my iPod, and nothing seems to be going right. It all started a few days after I got it for Christmas. I would wake up, and my iPod would be completely discharged even though it had a full battery and was turned off. I woke up one night and found that it came on all by myself. I sent it into iPod, and they sent it back saying nothing was wrong. Since I got it back today and within six hours, I have had four software crashes to the point where I have had to uninstall iTunes and restore factory settings four times. I am now on my fifth crash, but this time, the screen won't even come on. It keeps saying that it is in recovery mode. I simply went to turn it on! Does anyone have any suggestions? Personally, I think there is a short, and that I need a new a replacement. However, it doesn't seem like Apple is very supportive of the idea. I go through all of their steps over and over and over, and the same thing happens! What is going on? Please help.
    Marie

    sounds like, for the charging problem anyways, that you are just putting ipod into "Stand by" mode... press and hold the power key for about 10 seconds and an option to power off will actually come on.. if u just press it and let go, it just goes to stand by.. i have noticed stand by drains my battery
    also, it doesn't sound like a short to me... the charging i am pretty sure is bc you are only putting it into standby however, the rest sounds like software.. did u try and restore using itunes or did you just reset the factory defaults?? Plug it into itunes and click restore under the ipod menu...

  • Issues with Adobe PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 plus DiskWarrior 4.4

    Since upgrading to the final version of OS X 10.10 Yoesemite I have issues with Adobe PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 plus DiskWarrior 4.4. I don't recall their being any issues while I went through the Beta testing process.  The Adobe products (PSE and PE) give me a configuration message "error 16" and it tells me to uninstall and reinstall. I have done this a few times/  It seems to go through the whole install process until the startup where it crashes.  I downloaded PSE 11 and at least it starts up but I haven't used it to do anything.  Also DiskWarrior 4.4 does not load up from the hard drive anymore (error message) and when I boot it up from disk is doesn't give me the option of correcting permission when repairing files and folders.
    At lease all of otheother software including Photoshop Lightroom 5.6 seem to be working.
    Very sad

    Barbara,
    Yes, I accessed the "updates" menu from the Help pull-down menu.  I also accessed the updates using the Mac Terminal application with results shown in my original post.  Regardless of whether I used the Help menu or the Mac Terminal app, the AAM tool still responded with:
    Update Failed
       Updates could not be applied
       The error log file may help you in identifying the problem.  The, try updating again.  If the problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
      The error log file read as follows:
       Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5
       There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I210
       Looking at the the output of the Mac Terminal app, it shows:
       ... hdiutil: attach failed - no mountable file systems
       Is this relevant?
    Regarding your follow-up message pointing to:
    Update 12.1 installation errors | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements,
    the files referenced in this link are present, are correctly named, and they are in the correct locations, so it would appear that these issues are not related to the ACR 8.5 update problem
    Thanks

  • Issues with loading some webpages and dropbox. OS X Yosemite Wifi

    I am experiencing issues with my imac. As I was browsing Chrome this morning I went to load a page and suddenly it would not load and gave a page cannot be displayed error. Since then I'm having issues.
    My wifi says it's connected and everything is working fine. I can load some pages but not others (this is across all browsers I've tried: Chrome, Firefox, Safari). My dropbox desktop client will not load, nor can I load my dropbox account online. Also when I quit dropbox from the menu tray and try and reopen from applications it does nothing.
    My Google Drive desktop client and my google drive online is working perfectly though..
    I have shutdown and restarted my computer. I have also reset the modem. Nothing changed unfortunately though.
    I updated to OS X version 10.10.1 3 days ago. So maybe the update is partly responsible?
    Any ideas?

    Hello workingcars,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the first article below and use the Wireless Diagnostic to help isolate and resolve the issue. You also may want to create a new Network Location to see if there is that resolves the issue.
