My programs keep shutting down when I try to print!!!

I have no clue what is going on. This is happening in both "word" and "pages". Typically I finish my work on my ibook (G4) then connect to my printer via USB to print when suddenly the program shuts down. Once this happens, the only way I can print the document is to copy the content, open a new document, paste the content on the new document, and then print. This is extremely frustrating. If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Try deleting print prefs - search for files that start with com.apple.print (File>Find) and delete them, then restart the Mac, then try printing.

Delete all data from following location on your machine and try updating again.

My computer keeps shutting down when i try turn it on

Sounds like you may have hard drive issues.
You can try using built in diagnostics if you have them by holding D on startup. If nothing special happens, your model does not have them. You can then try to boot to recovery by holding Option while starting up and selecting Recovery HD. (Run Disk Utility Repair) If no Recovery HD appears, then you have a bad hard drive or an older OS than supports it.
If neither of those works I'd take it to an Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Provider near you for a diagnostic test. Apple will do it for free, so it's preferred for a test, but may not be the best price for a simple hard drive replacement. Head over to locate.apple.com to find the nearest AASPs and Apple Stores and set up an appointment.

My Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to see my inbox messages

MY Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to open my inbox messages . It happens on both my iPhone and my iPad

I'm having the same issue and I think I've figured out why: apparently, Facebook had an issue with it a few days ago and shut them off until they've fixed it. Here's a link to the info:

So unfortunately it doesn't fix our issue but it explains it at least!

Safari shuts down when i try to print

anyone know how to fix safari, it shuts down with no explanation when i try to print

There are experienced and helpful people here who run Safari under Windows. Be patient--this isn't chat and Monday mornings tend to keep people busy with work.
Allow me to offer a suggestion that might help you get noticed by the right contributors: Before 15 April 2011, there were separate forums for the Mac and Windows versions of Safari. The new forum software unfortunately lumped a lot of stuff together. So....
...were I using Safari for Windows, I would insert "Windows" in every title I posted here so those people most experienced with it can see your post at a glance, rather than having to open the hundreds of new posts every day to find the 20-40 that are about Safari for Windows.
For this thread, the title could look somthing like this:
safari (Windows) shuts down when i try to print
or
safari for Windows shuts down when i try to print
Hope this helps,

My CS4 keeps shutting down when I try to use it,why?

How can I stop my CS4 from shutting down when I try to save or even open a file in it?
I have tried resetting the preferences file. This worked once but so far has not worked again(I found this solution just by googling). It is obviously a common problems but I cannot find a solution that works or an explanation as to why it happens.
Please could someone at least explain what causes it? And preferably how to fix it?
It cost a lot of money and I don' yet understand why I should lose the right to have a functional programme. I'm not interested in having any new features etc. It takes me ages to work out how to do easy thing each time a new programme comes out!
Thanks
I do not know how community forum works and am very afraid I won't know even if anyone has answered this. I don't us any social media and am not familiar with the sorts of abbreviations and conventions associated with them, sorry if this is inconvenient but I don't know what 'tags' is.

Welcome to the discussions!
Have you tried creating a new user account and launching the apps there? If they work under the new account, then it is possible that you have a corrupted pref file.
I had this happen on my eMac, but it was when I was a newer Mac user and didn't know much. I ended up reinstalling to OS - which corrected it - but that is a bit drastic.
Let's not do that, but try some other troubleshooting first.

Pages shuts down when I try to print since i upgraded to Mavericks

I upgraded last week, now when I try to print out of Pages, Keynote, Safari, the programs shut down. I'm printing over a network to a Konica Bizhub C203. All other programs print no problem, its only the 3 mac ones that will not print. Anyone else having this issue? Any known fixes?

There are several bizhub threads here. See the "More Like This" sidebar to the right.
Also, see

for more information and a workaround.
Hope this helps.

All apps shutting down when I try to print

Updated to 10.4.11 about 2 weeks ago. All seemed to be working fine. Haven't changed anything else. Suddenly, whenever I try to print from any app (Word, Text edit, Preview, etc.) the program just shuts down.
Rebooted several times, repaired permissions, and ran disk repair from install disk, no luck. I booted off my saved 10.4.10 version (saved on back up drive via 'SuperDuper)', and Print worked fine. Any ideas what might have cause this problem on my HD, and how to try and fix it?

Have you tried updating your printer drivers? Several other threads with the same issue have found that updating the drivers solved many of these problems. Another was deleting the custom printing prefs in your Library. If you can't find updated drivers, try http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3. Another thread found that this had a lot of drivers that fixed many of these issues as well.

ITunes keeps shutting down when I try to go to the iTunes store

iTunes works fine on my laptop, until i try to click on the store. it gets about half way booted up and then shuts down the entire program. I have thought about downloading the entire program all over again on the web, but have close to 3000 songs and apps on my iPad I am nervous of losing. thoughts?

How did you get the songs on you iPad? My library contains over 18,000 songs in it and I have a portable hard drive that I use as a back up, not only for my music but for everything else on my computer. I accidentally deleted my library once and had to restore everything from scratch, so I learned to back everything up so in case the computer bites the dust, everything is on a portable drive, which I also take with me when I leave the house so also in case of a robbery and the computers are stolen, I have everything that is on them.
