Random crashes when browsing and downloading video.

Seems since upgrading to 10.6.8 system crashes on a random basis most often when browing with latest Safari, when downloading videos and/or playing playing using latest QuickTime. Ran Hardware Test, no problems. Completed repair of Disk Permissions and Verified HD. New to Mac so don't know all the test that one can make, any help apppriciated including how to access crash reports since none come-up when crashes occure.

Further to above, perhaps not a crash since no crash report, however, screen goes solid blue and then the log-in screen immediately is shown.

Firefox don't close when "browsing and Download History" is deleted on exit

Firefox doesn't close properly in about 50 % of cases. When closing FF, the window closes but the process firefox.exe isn't terminated. When trying to open FF again you got the error message "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." After terminating the process firefox.exe in the windows task manager, FF can be started again.
Error only occurs when under "Options/Privacy/Use custom settings for history" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" the option "Browsing and Download History" is selected.
All other options selected or not don't cause the issue.
I switched this option it several times. When "Browsing and Download History" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" isn't selected, the error doesn't appear.
Reproducible regardless if "Remember my browsing history" and "Remember download history" are selected or not.
Reproducible:
- after new installation of Firefox (Firefox 29.0.1 german, Windows7 64-bit)
- with different profiles, even with all addons disabled or running in safe mode
- with new profile with no addons or dictionaries installed
- with windows firewall turned off and deactivated antivirus program
- with hardware accellaration on and off
I know the issue has already reported at bugzilla.mozilla.org and described at
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997918
https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/997670
I want to describe the problem more precisely:
It only occurs when "Browsing and Download History" is delete on exit. The other option at "Clear History when Firefox closes" don't cause this issue.
Is there any other solution then to turn "Browsing and Download History" off?

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may
be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Then '''Tools > Options > Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

Hello,
My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
What is the problem?
It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
thank you

Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5

When I clear my history, Firefox clears my browsing and download history even though this checkbox is not checked. It didn't use to do this. What can I do to fix this?

When I clear my history, Firefox clears my browsing and download history even though this checkbox is not checked. It didn't use to do this. What can I do to fix this? I believe the problem started with the last Firefox update.

Do you mean the "Form autocomplete" feature?
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > "Remember search and form history"

Try to exclude the cookies from the clear history settings and let the cookies expire at the end of the session instead.

IMovie crashes when browsing Titles, and when exporting movie.

Frequent occurance. Crashes when browsing Titles. When re-opening it goes to a previous project.
2nd problem, also frequent but always with one project. I have tried numerous things, all unsuccessful. Have gone back to iPhoto to redo slideshow, have checked photo permissions, then rebuild movie but still unsuccessful. Message: "EXC BAD ACCESS (SIGSEGV)".

Sometimes iMovie Projects become corrupted and can cause iMovie to crash. This is what worked for me after months of frustration without any solution.
Copy the iMovie Projects folder to the desktop. To avoid confusion rename this folder Desktop iMovie Projects. Do not delete these projects from the Desktop iMovie Projects folder.
Then delete all projects from the original iMovie Projects folder for iMovie - found Mac HD > Users > (Your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects.
Either create a simple test movie project in iMovie or...
or take, from Desktop iMovie Projects folder, one of the projects that you know was successfully exported in the past and copy from the Desktop iMovie Projectsfolder into the original iMovie Projects folder.
Try launching iMovie again.
In turn take, from Desktop iMovie Projects folder, another of the projects and copy from the Desktop iMovie Projects folder into the original iMovie Projects folder.
Close and restart iMovie. Try to export this project
In transferring one project at a time you can isolate the corrupted project(s)

Lightroom 5.4 reaches 10% and crashes when exporting a slideshow video.

Lightroom 5.4 reaches 10% and crashes when exporting a slideshow video every time. I have Abobe Premiere elements 10, which works fine for creating a slideshow. Could there be a conflict? Any suggestions most welcome as this problem is driving me bom-boms.
Regards Dave

Thanks so much ... just tried it and it worked perfectly. I just used a small external drive to transfer them, and ticked the option to 'copy and import photos to new location', so not only the catalogue, but also the photos themselves are on my iMac. Very simple. Thanks.

Acrobat 11.0.07 will randomly crash when attempting to add document number to bottom of document.

The application randomly crashes when I try to add a document number to the bottom of a pdf document that was scanned on another machine. It is inconsistent but my only work around right now is to try and get the document number on the first page, then save the file to the new file name. Then I close the document, and reopen it to try and get the document number on the remaining pages of the document. About 50% of the time Acrobat will still crash when I am doing this. It has gone from being a 30 second process to a 5 minute process.

Varinder,
I have created a test document consisting of 2 simple pages. It originated as a word document with a jpg and a word table on the first page, and text and an Excel table on the second page.
It converted to pdf fine initially. Then on saving the first line of text box added, Acrobat crashed. It did save the information however. I opened it back up, and went to add the second line of text in the same text box on the first page and again it crashed, but before I could hit the save button. After that all additional text added in text box on page one, and additional of another text box on page two had no problems. The file is attached.
I am concerned that there is some setting I am missing to be able to read files from older versions of Acrobat, but that gets less likely as I open pdf files from 3 years ago and they appear to be fine. We are using Acrobat 9, 10, and now my 11 here. I am of the assumption that I should not be having any problems reading any of these.
Attaching file.
Thank You,
Curt

Firefox crashes when trying to download files - suggested solutions have failed to help

Every time I try to download a file, the moment I select 'save file' and click 'ok', Firefox crashes. Once I restart, I receive a message that the file has completed downloading, and it's always in the designated download folder. However, the crashes are making it terribly inconvenient to download. This problem was occurring while I was on Firefox 3.6, and has continued now that I've updated to Firefox 4. Since updating, I have tried all of the solutions offered in the help articles 'Firefrox crashes when trying to download a file' and 'Unable to download or save files'. None of these solutions have helped.
Crash ID is listed below, and just in case it's important, here is the signature: hang | mozilla::plugins::PPluginInstanceParent::CallNPP_HandleEvent(mozilla::plugins::NPRemoteEvent const&, short*)

See both [[firefox crashes]] and [[firefox hangs]] please provide Crash IDs if you are getting crashes.
Note also that firefox 10 upgrades were suspended,and Firefox 10.0.1 is now coming out. One of the problems that will fix is hangs relating to java use; that may turn out to be the problem you have.
I suggest you keep your eyes on [[latest firefox issues]] which hopefully will be updated shortly.
(I note you are using 10.0 and 11.0b according to the system info aside you may be interested in some of the more techie explanations in [/forums/contributors/708145 another] [/forums/contributors/708122 section] )

The file sshnas21.dll mentioned in the crash report is a component of malware or spyware, you should immediately remove it using an antivirus and antispyware program.
Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

[Solved] arch crashing when browsing files

Seem to be having a strange problem of crashing when browsing files via the built in file manger of mate desktop. I say strange because it works ok if browsing via an app like pluma
Some times it freezes before hand. It takes some seconds to happen but if I mount my extra drive it crashes all most right away.
Just to say I got one other system up and running fine with the only difference being ram and drive sizes.
Do anyone know what it could be?

Sorry about late reply. Forgot all about posting this.
It would seem it was a mobo fault. There was one other difference between the systems and that was the one that kept crashing had an ati card. I removed that card to boot from the igpu system wouldn't boot at all. Thought it got to be cpu or ram so did some swapping about to find it was in fact a fault mobo. I still think it's an odd one but I'm no expert lol
Thanks opt1mus for your time in responding.

THOUGH I DO NOT ACTIVATE THE FIRST LINE "BROWSING AND DOWNLOAD HISTORY", MY DOWNLOADS ARE NEVERTHELESS DELETED. I JUST POSTED THIS QUESTION AND GOT 2 REPLI

When I do a "CLEAR RECENT HISTORY" and THOUGH I DO NOT ACTIVATE THE FIRST LINE "BROWSING AND DOWNLOAD HISTORY", MY DOWNLOADS ARE NEVERTHELESS DELETED.
I just posted this question under the "OTHER" category and got 2 replies, neither of which solves this problem!
IS THERE A SOLUTION? Thanks

Are you the same poster as Raphaex who posted using Windows 8.1 in this thread and provided a full and detailed set of data accessible using the "More System Details" link: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1011435 ??
If not, could you provide a link to the earlier discussion on your situation if there is one? I don't want to repeat what you haven't found helpful, and also, it's critical to know your correct configuration information and not waste everyone's time typing out advice that is totally irrelevant.
To provide the missing details on your configuration:
# Use ONE of these methods to open the Firefox Troubleshooting Information page:
#* Click the "3-bar" menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click on help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
#* Type '''about:support''' into the Firefox address bar and press the enter key.
# In the top left corner of the Troubleshooting Information page that comes up, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
#Now, come back to this thread, right-click in the reply box and select '''Paste''' from the context menu (or else click inside the reply box and press Command+v) to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
Usually, this does not contain personal information, but I suggest you skim down and make sure you do not see your email address in there (XX it out ).

Firefox 3.6.3 crashes when opening and the Crash Report [[@ strlen nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ]. It was working perfectly fine and the last three days, I am having difficulty in opening firefox. It crashes with the above crash report every time I open. I came across the bad image error and did a clean reinstall multiple times and that did not help. I have firebug and firecookies as an addon.

Usually doesn't immediately crash, although that happens also. Usually hangs, then crashes.
Addons are WHY I use Firefox when it works. I am NOT on the bleeding edge any longer. I could go back to boring, boring, Chrome.

TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
"Cannot Open Page"
"Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
IF that does not work -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Finally - if problem still present -
Go to Settings>General>Reset
Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network
