Adobe Updates Crashing my computer

I have a brand new computer with Windows 7, It has 'frozen" at least a half a dozen times!!! The screen freezes, I get a spinning ring and can't do nothing, when I try ctrl+F4 or F2 the desktop and open windows turn milky white.
This problem ALWAYS happens when I am online and I get a notice to update Adobe.
Is there anyway in hell, that I can put these update reminders in some sort of cue? Why do they freeze and crash my computer (the only thing I can do is unplug the computer, which has got to stop. Do I need to drop or quite Adobe?
Please help!!!!

You might want to give some specifics. Other then my computer crashes with Adobe....Not to be a S.A but there are a lot of different Adobe programs and computers. You mention FF so Windows would be my guess, or you could be running Linux. Do you see the variables here? What kind of computer? Not a Desktop or Laptop or Dell or HP. Specs like GPU, CPU, Memory. Program running, what you were doing, etc. The more detailed you are the more a user can hop in and try and help you.

Update crashed my computer

I just did a software update on my computer and now everything's crashing. Safari, dashboard, iPhoto, Entourage, and other software items are all quitting unexpectedly.
I've lost 2000 photos from the last 4 years and 800 contacts, I guess I should have backed them up.
Computer info:
PowerBook G4 15", PowerPC G4 (1.1) CPU
Serial Number - W844801UQW2
Mac OS X 10.4.7 (8J135)
80GB HD with 4GB Available (Not sure where the memory has gone)
While I love my Mac, I've had endless problems with it. Dare I say it, I'm ready to go back to my Windows machine…
Anyway, along with this problem every time I try and download a .dmg file it “fails to mount.” I get a broken file sitting on my desktop, when I try and open it I get a system error that reads, “Device not configured”
None of my USB ports have ever worked unless the system is started with the device connected…
And to top it all off, my latch has never worked!
I'm just concerned with the software problem at this point, because this is my work computer and we have no budget for a computer (non-profits suck). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry about the sob story.

Hi Chris,
first off you say you've got 4gb left on an 80gb drive? If so this could be a root of your problem (or one of them at least) as Macs shouldn't have less than 10% free HD space - they just don't like it. Have you been getting messages saying HD nearly full etc?
You need to free-up some space so the system can work & to save what's left of your files, you'll need an external HD to copy files to. Then once returned to a safe working level run Repair Permission on your HD using Disk Utility, after its finished reboot & hold Apple+S keys to boot in single user mode (black screen & white text) & type:
fsck -fy
press return key (this runs a check & repair on your HD)
if when finished it says modified or repaired run fsck again until says HD appears OK.
Then type:
reboot
Press return key to exit.
You could also invest in Techtool Pro or Disk Warrior (Data recovery edition) to try to recover your lost files as well as maintenance if Disk Utility & fsck can't fix your drive. Also download Onyx, free. But get TT P or DW anyway for future use in keeping your system good.
Once you have all your files safe bung in your Install CD put a fresh system on it, then your Apps. Then backup using Carbon Copy Cloner (free download) to create a clone to another drive of your new clean fresh system so you can restore from if your Mac goes wrong again. Then transfer your recovered & backed-up files while preserving at least that magic 10% free HD space.
Good luck.
Rory

MARCH 18, 2014 NEW UPDATE CRASHES

I've been anticipating the new update I was told would be today, and it was. After I updated it to Version 28 I opened FF and it immediately crashed. I sent in a crash report, and did that three other times. So now, sadly, I'm back to version 27 that stinks as well.
Anyone have any ideas as to whats wrong with it?? I checked my addons for compatibility and said they were fine. I did nothing different except update to newest version. Not sure what else to do. I refuse to uninstall anything at this point, although that seems to be the basic "advice" given here.....it never solves my problems LOL
So, what next?? And thanks for any help.
I have Windows 7

And no I'm not providing anything. Google the issue and you'll find this isn't a rare occurrence.

New update crashes on my pc windows xp

Installed the new update for Itunes and now it won't load. Is it because I'm running Windows XP, or the new update is faulty? It's still happening!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maverick OSX update crashed my computer and OS. My harddrive and OSX and WIN have been lost and are irreparable. What are the next steps?

Mavericks has crashed my MacBook Pro.
I was offered the upgrade as a free and reccomended Apple Software Update that arrived on my computer.
I installed Maverick received an error during installation saying the HD was bad. I ran utility disk and internet recovery and attempted to boot in safe mode to no avail. My computer no longer had an OS. (I ran both OSX and WIN on my new HD). I took it to the Apple store and it was determined it was a software failure (Maverick) and not my harddrive. The tech at Apple told me I could take it to a data recovery place on MY dime to attempt to recover anything from the HD. I ran several expensive architectural programs which are now lost. Any advice as which aveneue to take next is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Note, backing up is not a choice in computing. You either value your data or you don't. And when you install new software the drive is that much more at risk, if it is marginal. This is true of any operating system update because of the number of changes that happen at once.

1. Open the System Profiler by selecting About This Mac under the Apple icon select More Info. Does the System Profiler work and see everything?
2. Open Disk Utility, select the hard drive and check the First Aid tab and select Verify Disk to check the hard drive.
3. If it is OK then, Repair Permissions in Safe Boot

1.1.5 new update crashing

Loaded the new Aperture 1.1.5 yesterday and today all it can do is crash whenever I open it. What is to be done? Be glad to return to 1.1.1 but can't figure out how to do that - when I re-installed from the original disc, the update to 1.1.5 was automatic. Arrrrgh!!!

Software Update crashed my computer IMac

I am heartbroken! Need some input from you all. Yesterday I was on my computer and the prompt came on alerting me to new software updates. Proceeded to click ok, the update began and half way thru, computer rebooted and then bam. Blue screen of death and then my computer wouldn't clear out of that blue screen. I brought it in to the Apple store and was told today, that they tried to back up my drive with Disk Utility and some other back door process and were not able to make it work. Kept failing. They said they would replace my hard drive but can't recover my data and suggested if I want the info to contact a recovery company. Fool that I am, I know.....we didn't back up and now I am in a bind. Not sure what to do. My Iphoto info, my Itunes info, it all resides on that hard drive. And I find it hard to believe that there is nothing they can do, that my hard drive failed after software update takes place? Has anyone had this happen and give me some quality options to help figure out how to recover my data. I found a few local spots in CA that will come to my home and help, but I have no idea what to look for and the amount I will have to pay. I don't have a ton of things on that hard drive, so why would it cost much?

Hi, for the first time since I have been using Mac's the latest Update created issues on my computer. I ended up d/loading from the main Apple sdite.
Backing Up is a must, Recovery of info on your HD is possible but not guaranteed or 100%. I would visit your local Apple Approved Service Agent & speak with them.
I assume you have AppleCare & have called AppleHelp? In any event an Apple Service Agent or the local Genius Bar is I feel your best option. I would in your case ONLY deal with an Apple Approved tech.

Hi there. Just wanted to report that the latest update now crashes my Z3 Compact whereas it didn't before. To reproduce, create a movie as usual and edit it, press on the "Music" button and it crashes with the good ol' "unfortunately...movie creator has stopped"....
no amount of uninstall, reinstalling, clearing cached data, rebooting could alter this 100% repeatable behaviour. please fix as this is the main reason keeping me in the sony eco system. what a great app, BTW! just awesome. cheers!

10.4.11 update crashed my computer

When software update tried to install 10.4.11, it complained that it could not do it. I downloaded the combo package from apple and that stopped at %67 with the same complaint. Now the computer won't start and is perpetually stuck in the startup screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel. I tried booting from the installation dvd but only the HD shows up as an option. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I wonder if the Intel version of 10.4.11 has been used in error.
If the tray won't open I would suggest using Target Disk Mode with the iMac G5 to either run the hardware test, disk repair or ultimately perhaps archive and install.
I think you forget the link above

The new update for my computer is ready to be installed. When I try and install it, I get a message that my start up disc is full and does not have enough room. I have tried every avenue I can think with no resolve, of course, I am not a computer genious. Can anyone at all help? Thank you so much.

You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.
