Motion boots and then quits

Could someone please tell me why the motion application on my final cut studio starts and then quits? all of the other final cut applications are working. I did a reinstall and the same thing happens. What to do? Thanks. Terrence

What version of Motion are you using and on what machine?
Trying to use a PPC version of Motion on an Intel box will cause the problem you have

IPhoto crashes when emptying the Trash and then quitting iPhoto

When I empty the iPhoto trash and then quit iPhoto, it crashes every time. When I reopen it the trash is again full.
Also, the items in the trash are blank squares.
Any ideas?

Ronniebel:
Have you tried the usual maintenance procedures? Repair disk permissions, repair the disk with Disk Utility while booted into the system installation disk that came with you Mac, run Tiger Cache Cleaner's medium cleaning routine or OnyX to clean out the various user caches and the cron maintenance scripts.
Also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Another possibility is to run iPhoto Library Manager and use its File->Rebuild Library menu option to rebuild the library.
Next, move the iPhoto Library folder to the Shared folder and set the access so other users can read and write. Then log into another account on you Mac, fire up iPhoto with the Option key depressed and locate and open the library in the Shared folder. See if you can delete the trash there and operate normally. If you can then it's something to do with your other account. If you can't then it's the library itself.
Good luck.

Safari won't open...freezes and then quits

I'm running 10.3.9 and whenever I open Safari, it will open, freeze and then quit. I have the Cubs home page as the default page but I can't keep Safari open long enough to change it.
I can't keep Safari open long enough to do anything, except submit more of those inane "Crash Reports" to Apple which probably don't do anything.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? I've done Disk Utility and that hasn't helped.
Any thoughts?

Hi econwriter5!
The first thing I would do is trash the Safari preferences, and Cache.
HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > CACHES
Trash:
Safari (Folder)
HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > SAFARI
Trash:
Icons (Folder)
History.plist (File)
HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES
Trash:
com.apple.Safari.plist
Good Luck!

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

ITunes launches and then quits responding in windows 7.

iTunes launches and then quits responding...I have windows 7. How do I correct the issue without having to check each song to see if it is a problem. I have over 8000 of them and that would suck.

Hey Apple techs you going to help with this problem !!!!!!!!!??

This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

HT4623 When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away. What should I do?

When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away. What should I do?

I would reinstall iOS 7.
Open iTunes (11.1 or later) on your computer and plug your iPhone into your computer.
Sync your iPhone with iTunes.
Click on your iPhone device and from the Summary Tab, Back up using iCloud and/or iTunes.
On your iPhone, open Settings/iCloud and turn off Find My Phone.
In iTunes, click on the Restore button on the Summary tab next to Check for Updates.
iTunes will completely wipe your phone and reinstall iOS 7.
Setup your iPhone as new and restore from your back up.
Check to see if the iTunes app is functioning correctly and not closing on you.
I did this last night when setting Limit Ad Tracking kept closing Settings and taking me back to the Home screen. After reinstalling iOS 7, the issue went away.

Something is messed up with the Disk.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

ICal creates blank calendars and then quits

I was publishing my calendars and synching Ical to my .Mac account. Now, Ical keep creating new blank calendars and then quitting! Help!

Try this:
Locate the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iCal and drag it to your desktop
In the folder ~/Library/Prefeences/ delete any files (2-4) that start com.apple.iCal and end .plist
(~ represents your home directory)
Start iCal. Let me know what happens. I expect it will start with two blank calendars, no syncing and no publishing, but there are other possibilities. If we get that far we can then try restoring your original calendars.

MacBook Pro won't boot, and then frozen by SBBOD

My MacBook Pro constantly freezes when I try to perform any task. I frequently encounter the spinning beach ball of death. Even if I don't see it then accomplishing anything is nearly impossible! The computer starts up very slowly and displays the gray screen and spinning gear for a prolonged period of time. Often times the computer won't start up at all and freezes on the gray screen.
My System
15" MacBook Pro - mid 2009
2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM
Hard drive has 370 GB free out of 500
Fixes attempted
Repaired disk permissions
Uninstalled nonessential apps, including antivirus software (Avast was removed months ago)
CPU activity appears ok, frozen processes stopped
Trash emptied
Computer booted in safe mode, still got the SBBOD
This has basically rendered our computer nonfunctional and useless! For example, it took me nearly 30 minutes just to write this message. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

When ever I launch my safari, it will stay on for about a minute and then quits on me. It has a "safari quit unexpectedly" dialog box with a bunch of codes that I can send a report to apple. im not very good with this kind of thing, plz help!

Im not very good at troubleshooting, but I have played around with the system preferences. My airport connection is fine as well as the ethernet. Firewall says its not connected, (im not sure if that matters or not?)
I have subtracted my network from the list, restarted, and then put it back and and restarted...nothing seems to be working. Iam in the middle of a correspondace course and i really need my internet back...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Could be many things, we should start with this...

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

Ipod touch 2nd Gen connects to the internet and then quits

I have a 2nd gen Ipod touch that connects to the Internet and then it quits. I will then get the message the Ipod can not connect to the Internet.
I have a Linksys WTR 610n wireless router (I have upgraded to the new firmware). My Ipod worked fine for about almost 2 years and then it started dropping the connection. I am not sure if was as a result of upgrading the Ipod to 4.2.1. but things started to go bad right after. It will connect from anywhere from 1 min to 20min and quit. I can't downgrade to a previous OS the Ipod because I don't have a previous version of the firmware. Also Apps and Apple remote will not connect to Itunes when the internet shuts down. The Ipod recognizes all of the wifi routers in the area and its shows that it connects but then still nothing works.
Sometimes it just says it won't connect to the server. I have tried no security, WEP WPA and WPA2.
I have also tried:
1) restoring my IPOD;
2) resetting the network settings;
3) rebooting the IPOD;
4) forgetting the network and renewing the network lease;
5) rebooting the router;
6) resetting the router;
7) upgrading the firmware of the router;
8) setting the router to "G" only;
9) setting the router to "N" only;
10) praying to Steve Jobs; and
11)
I think that is everything that I could find on the discussion or elseware. If any one knows how to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks
Dean8888

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.
