Pages 08 makes my computer crash

Hello,
Each time i use pages 08, the next application i open crashes (itunes, safari so far).
From there, i cannot really kill any applications or turn off my computer properly.
Does somebody have any idea about what happens? Did you ever hear about similar issues?
Thx a lot

Unable to reproduce this in XP, Vista, 7 or 8.

  • ITunes updates make my computer crash every time I start it up

    Can anyone help me everytime up try to upgrade my version of iTunes my computer crashes afterwards when I next start it up. THe only way I can find around this is to roll back the computer to previous settings. Any ideas?

    DO you mean that the whole computer crashes - i.e. a blue screen stop?
    If so you need to see the error message to work out what the problem is.
    If you are getting a blue screen stop, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
    0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    For example:
    Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
    Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name. If there is a file mentioned, it can be very helpful for diagnosis.
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
    Usually blue screens are due to low level programs like drivers, or hardware issues.
    You might also check in you event view to see if there are any helpful error messages there. This can be accessed via Administrative tools on the Control Panel.

  • CS4 Bridge Auto stack tool makes my computer Crash

    I'm using a modern computer running Windows XP, 3 GB of memory , a modern video card with 1 GB of memory and the latest drivers, Photoshop CS 4 (with the latest updates), and the bridge auto-stack panorama/HDR doesn't work. When I click on the tool I get an error message that says "images missing preview data (then the image name) within okay box. This repeats on and on, until a file is created named "auto collection cash.XML). It would appear that the process is complete however this is not the case as bridge locked up and I can't access the stack. Closing and reopening bridge allows me to delete the XML file. I can then unstacked the images. Incidentally, if I manually select the files, I can successfully use either the panorama, or HDR tool, so it would appear that it's not a problem with the files themselves. If I use the auto stack tool on JPEG files it works. If I use it on any folder with raw files (in this case canon CR2), the 'images missing preview data" dialog box opens up.
    Recently, I worked with several Adobe support technicians, who came to the conclusion that I had a problem with my Windows user file, and not with Photoshop and bridge. I accepted this principle and created a new user account in Windows, I used the Adobe downloadable uninstall program (to clean out Photoshop and any registry entries). I then reinstalled Photoshop and re-created my preferences etc. and found that the auto stack tool worked fine. It's been about two weeks, and as you may imagine there is an ongoing development and improving of the Windows user file. Yesterday I found the auto stack lockup problem has returned.
    Can anyone suggest why I'm having this problem? I'm aware that I can repeat the above, but I'm concerned that it will not solve the problem long term. This auto stack tool could be very helpful, but I'm not sure it's worth all the time and effort to fix it only short-term.

    Hello:  I notice that no one has replied to your post. That is a shame.  I am having the exact same problem that you described and it is happening in two different macs running the latest version of Leopard, OS 10. 5.8. I believe the problem is with Adobe  and not your operating system, or any corrupted files in your user files.   Have you had any luck solving your problem?  If so, please share it with me, as I think our problems are related.  Thank you, GuruDog

  • Why does Photoshop free transform make snow leopard crash

    Every time I use free transform in Photoshop CS5 it makes my computer crash - no warning, nothing, just a dead black screen. Im on an Intel Core i5 with 16 GB of memory. It's driving me nuts. Anyone out there know what to do, please ?

    It shouldn't happen, but it is possible that some of your RAM has a problem. Try taking out half the RAM and see if it still happens. If it no longer happens, the problem is in the half of the RAM you took out. If it still happens, swap out with the other half of the RAM and continue with this process of elimination until you find the stick of RAM that's doing it. If it happens no matter what RAM is installed, it could be something else, but not sure what it would be since most people don't have that problem.

  • Lost work on pages when computer crashed...any way to retrieve data

    My granddaughter had spent three days on a written report on PAGES. She was doing other things on the computer, probably listening to music, which made her computer crash. When the computer was restarted we could not find her report. I need help! She is very upset! Can someone please make me a hero?

    Hi,
    If the machine's linked to iCloud, the document could possibly have saved it itself to iCloud prior to the machine crashing, although I cannot guarantee this as I'm not entirely sure if Pages for Mac implements this feature, however on iOS devices it automatically saves whilst you work.
    Head over to iCloud.com and sign in to see if there's anything there under the Pages app.
    Good Luck! Let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,

  • Does Pages recover unsaved documents if your computer crashes?

    I had some things open in pages (A story, some notes from class) that I hadn't yet saved, and then my computer crashed totally at random. Is there any way to recover them? I know Word has unsaved document recovery....

    If you never saved it, No.
    Are you still on OSX 10.5.8?
    ForeverSave Lite will automatically save for you. OSX 10.7 will also autosave, but still needs to have you save the first time so it knows where to save it.
    Word must leave a heck of a lot of randomly named files lying around if you never save.

  • My old computer crashed, how do I make my new computer my main Itunes account? It's still looking for the other when I need to back up my other apple devices.

    My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?

    It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod.  iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library

    Do you at least have your music, videos, photos etc on an ipod?

  • I had purchased Pages, Keynote and Numbers for MacPro from the App store. My computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything and they are not appearing in my Purchased. Please help.

    I had purchased Pages, Keynote and Numbers for MacPro from the App store. My computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything and they are not appearing in my Purchased. Please help.

    You should be able to go > App Store > App store (menu) > store > view my account > sign in.    Where do you vary after following this point.   In between ID summary and Settings should be a section marked iTunes in the cloud and directly below but within that section, the message we are seeking.
    I'm not doubting you, just don't see why you have this problem. 

  • My computer crashed how do I make sure my ipod works with my computer again

    So my computer crashed. We replaced the hard drive. I recently re-installed itunes. But when I plugged in my ipod all I could do was tranfer purchases or wipe my ipod. I have about 500 songs from cd's that i do NOT want to put back in my itunes library. Is there some way where I can place all of my songs from my ipod onto my itunes library without manually doing it again? And I can't download anything new onto my ipod either. Please help, it would be greatlly appreciated.

    Hey there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    It would also be a good idea to re-authorize your computer. Hope this helps.

  • My husband's computer crashed and he hadn't backed up his ITunes library. How can we download all previously purchased music?

    My husbands computer crashed and we don't have a backup of our ITunes. How can we access and download all previous ITunes purchases?

    Depending upon which store you use you may be able to recover some of your past purchases. See HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
    Go the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. (This should reduce the risk of corrupt downloads.)
    For the future backup your library regularly with this User Tip.
    If you have an Apple device see: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • My computer crashed and everything had to be reinstalled. I lost everything

    My computer crashed and everything had to be reinstalled. I lost everything from the hard drive. I can access my website on-line, but when I go to iWeb none of my documents are there. I have tried dragging the site pages that are stored on iDisk, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am a teacher and use the site for my classes.
    Thanks!

    richyrev,
    You may not want to here this but if you lost the data on your computer and don't have a backup, there is no easy way to recreate your site.
    I just got through explaining this to another user yesterday. You can find that thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1883561&tstart=60
    In a nut shell iWeb uses a domain file to store all your site pages. This file is really just a special directory called a package in the Mac World. All your site info is stored in this package in a cryptic way that probably won't make a lot of sense to you. Once your site is rendered and put on your hosted site it is stored differently with basic web hierarchy for the files. The bottom line is iWeb can only deal with a domain package not the finished web files. If you don't have a copy of your domain package file then you will need to recreate your site using your files from your web site. But you will have to do it manually.
    You didn't say specifically that you were using mobile me (.mac) but if you are then you can grab your old site off your idisk and use those to help guide you into recreating your site. But iWeb won't read those file for you. It doesn't read html files in, only out. You'll have to literally recreate each page using your old site as a guide.
    There was a link on the other thread that gave a little more detail about this. I realize it's a painful lesson, but nothing beats taking the time to do a backup. I noticed (according to your sig) you are still running OS X 10.4 so you won't have time machine, but backup is a good program as well.
    Good Luck,
    Alan

  • My computer crashed and i had to re-install firefox.but i had already purchased the full version of downlload helper, do i have to purchase it again?

    I did not have to pay for firefox because firefox is free. But i DID purchase the full version of downloadhelper way long before my computer crashed. Download helper has a record of my IP address along with my name, and email, and i remember seeing a number key for my purchase when i used to look in the options window. So will they make me pay for a legitimate version of downloadhelper if they have it on record that i already purchased it? Thats what i want to know, because i should not have to buy it again.

    Thanks both of you. I clicked on this link, http://www.downloadhelper.net/support-expert.php , that ed-meister gave me, and it got to my problem, after 2 or 3 short questions, it asked me for my email that i used when i logged in and paid for the converter. When i gave it to them they automaticlly sent a new key number to my email but told me that i had to verify my email before they could validate it. I then went back to the page where they asked me the questions and entered the new key number in the space they provided for me to enter it, but nothing happened. Dont hit the reset or it will start all over and mozilla will think that you are running a scam to get key numbers. So what i did instead was open up downloader and went to preferences, then over to conversion. It stil said that i was not registered. So i hit register and THAT is where i entered the key number that i was given. At first a message came up that said it was an invalid key number, so i did it again and retyped it in and it went through, it showed my full real name and email from when i registered long ago, (so i know that they still had me in their system) along with the new key number that i was given. So remember, once you get your new key number, immediately open downloader and go to preferences, then conversion, then register with your new key.

  • Why does my computer crash to blue screen with message when Photoshop is open?

    This happened 3-4 times when I was using the trial version and I wasn't sure which program from the trials that was doing it, but it started after I downloaded and used the Adobe Clound trials so I stopped using them. Eventually I went ahead and upgraded to the subcription and have been using Illustrator and Muse for a few days now and have not had a problem until today. I had Photoshop open and minimized, as well as Illustrator, and walked away from my desk. When I returned, the screen was blue with the Windows "shut down to prevent further damage" screen. I have a photo of the message. I realized that I had been using Photoshop the last few times this happened also. It never happened before I tried this software and stopped when I stopped using the trial.
    I contacted support and chose to have someone call me back due to the wait. 15 minutes later, I got a call back from India and exlplained this. He got my phone number and asked me to hold while he got someone to help me. ONE HOUR AND 20 MINUTES later someone from India came on and I explained it all over again. He said he was going to check into it and 5 minutes later I was DISCONNECTED. No one called back and there is no option for Adobe, but to call back and start the process ALL OVER AGAIN. From what I see in these forums, it happens all the time and is serious problem with Adobe.I would never do business with a company with this type of horrible support and don't think I will continue my subscription with them. I am a graphic designer and do not have the time for computer crashes and support that does not care.

    Thanks, Bill. Your response has been the most helpful. I have not yet tried the steps in your articles, but have a little more info that may help narrow it down. However, it has not happened for a couple weeks. I run a large CAD progam that also has never caused this issue.
    The blue death screen occurs only when PS is open and when the computer goes to the screen saver. When I wake my screen this message is there:
    "A problem has been detected an windows has been shut down to prevent further damage to your computer.
    The problem seems to be caused by the following file: win32k.sys
    PAGE-FAULT-IN-NONPAGED-AREA
    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. I this is a new installation, ask you hardware of software manufacturer fo any windows updates you might need.
    If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable such components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced startup options, and then select safe mode.
    Technical Information:
    *** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xE57C1304, 0x00000000, 0xBF8892C3, 0X00000001)
    ***  win32k.sys - Addre4ss BF8892C3 base at BF800000, DateStamp 4ff2f633"
    Beginning dump, blah blah blah.
    After this happenend 2-3 time after installing the PS trial, it was obvious that it was the only software change I had made. I stopped using it and went back to using my PS4 and the blue screen never happened again...until I purchase my subscription and used it again. I don't know if any of this helps narrow down what I can test, but you have given me the most knowledgeable feedback. Thanks again.
