Serious crash when clicking on "play"

Hi there,
after making many changes to my presentation, and - as usual - just before i remembered to hit CMD-S, i decided to check the presentation and trustfully clicked on the play button.
BANG! Total crash, reset, reboot. Welcome to OS X.
Now i know this bug had been discussed some time ago, and i considered it solved, but as it seems, it is still there. (I already have filled out a feedback form and sent it to apple btw).
The "special feature" of this crash was that it messed up my preferences, but not in keynote, but my dock (was reset to default apps&behaviour) and my screen saver and maybe some other things i haven't discovered yet.
At the moment of the crash, several other apps were open. These are: Safari, Mail, iTunes, TunesArt, Notes, iCal and maybe one or two other i don't remember.
Anyone out there who can reproduce this or had similar experiences? Any solutions so that it doesn't happen again (maybe just before an important presentation on my job )?
Any comments welcome,
Fox

I'm looking for help about the same problem. Like you, I sent a note to Apple.
I just had it happen last night. It's happened several times in the last month since I've been doing more presentations.
I haven't found anything helpful in the way of explaining it yet.

  • Finder crashes when clicking on Applications folder

    VERY weird. Beginning a few days ago the finder on my Mac Pro crashes whenever I clicked on the Applications folder. It makes no difference what finder view I am using (icons, columns, etc.). Even if I click on the alias to the Applications folder in the sidebar, the finder crashes. I cannot view the contents of that folder by any method. The only way I can get to an item contained therein is to search for it using Spotlight.
    Thinking that maybe my startup disk was hosed somehow, I ran Disk Utility (repaired permissions and verified the disk) and ran all tests within TechTool Deluxe. Both said the disk and filesystem were fine.
    I tried copying the entire folder to another disk, but the copy aborts after the first few items (stops with Adobe Photoshop; the next item alphabetically is Aperture). In case Aperture was somehow a problem, I removed it (searched using Spotlight and then dragged it to the trash). No change in behavior.
    I used Carbon Copy Cloner to replicate the entire drive to another, newly reformatted drive and made that drive the startup disk. No change in behavior.
    It sure seems that the issue has to do with some kind of file corruption (that CCC dutifully replicated) rather than a faulty drive, but I have no idea where to look next for a solution (other than reformatting and reinstalling over 100 applications from scratch; ugh).
    Does anyone have any idea what may be going on here? Until I can fix this, the Mac Pro is pretty much useless (luckily, I also have a MacBook Pro).

    Hi - I too am having this issue. 
    When I click on any of the items in my sidebar (i.e. -desktop, documents, applications, etc...) this causes the finder to crash and restart. 
    I have tried trashing the com.apple.finder.plist and running disk utility but to no avail.  I also found this other forum discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1336291?start=0&tstart=0) Where this was part of the post

    Re: finder crashes when clicking desktop icon in sidebar - any help? 
    Feb 2, 2008 3:43 PM (in response to choegl)
    choegl, that crash is the same place as andreas's but it got there in a different manor. In the manor I would expect it to. It is trying to retarget the window to your selection in the sidebar and setup List View according to the view options for that folder from that folder's .DS_Store. Its specifically trying to get the label for one of the columns in List View (i.e. Size or Name or Date Modified) but the value it gets from the .DS_Store is corrupt/bogus and causes the Finder to crash (specifically a component underneath the Finder call CoreFoundation via a call to CFStringGetLength). Here's how you solve your problem. In /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app type: +cd <path to problem folder>+
    +rm .DS_Store+
    +killall Finder+ Pressing return after each line. You can get the path to the problem folder by drag/dropping the folder into the Terminal window. When the Finder comes back up, see if it still crashes when you click on that problem folder (i.e. your Desktop) in the sidebar. Repeat the steps above for any other folders that behave this way when you click on them in the sidebar. Hope that helps everyone... 
    btw, I wrote up a bug report on your behalf about this issue and sent it off to Apple (# 5721669)."
    I tried this as well and nothing! 
    Anyone have any suggestions?  I'm at a loss and am hating this issue!  BTW, if I right click on any of the items in the sidebar, I can then click on open to get the folder to open.  HASSLE!  and if I forget (which is likely since I move too fast for my own good) then I crash the finder.  Also, this happens on all the users on my mac. 
    Thanks!!!!

  • Indesign crashes when clicking on print options

    indesign cs6 crashes when clicking on printer or page setup within the print options. OS 10.7.4

    Peter,
    Yes, I can bring up the Paragraph Styles and the Character palettes with no document open, edit the [Basic Paragraph] style to change the font family, then open a blank document, and new text boxes will use that font.
    I'm on a bit of a deadline right now, so I ended up uninstalling ID CS5 and reinstalling it.  I can now successfully bring up the Edit menu and the right-click context menu both in a blank document and in the document I was working on before.  I'm sure the problem will reappear again at some random point in the future, so I am still looking for fixes that don't involve reinstalling the app.
    BTW, I have tried exporting my work document to IDML and re-importing it, but to no avail.  I've also tried toggling Dynamic Spelling (past threads have suggested this as a possible fix), but also to no avail.
    It would be really nice if Adobe products produced some sort of crash dump or bug report when this sort of thing happens...

    What can I do?
    Thanks alot,

  • ITunes crashes when attempting to play purchased tracks

    Hoping someone can help me here. iTunes crashes when attempting to play tracks purchased from the iTunes store. Music imported from CDs still plays fine. They have played preiously but not since downloading and installing 7.0.2.16. QuickTime is up to date and I only have 1 PC authorised. Help!

  • Adobe Applications Crash when Clicking on Smart Folders

    APPLICATIONS EFFECTED: Adobe InDesign Cs6, Adobe Indesign CS5.5 and Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 on Mac OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
    THE PROBLEM: The above applications will crash when clicking on File > Open and selecting a Smart Folder in the sidebar.
    STEPS TAKEN TO FIX THE PROBLEM:
    I have done a clean install of my system and have updated to the latest versions of all software, yet the problem remains.
    I have also done a clean install on another system and it also has the same problem.
    BACKGROUND INFO:
    Information about smart folders can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4158
    This is a clear bug, so where can I get help to get a fix for the problem?

    Are the folders in question inside your home folder? If not, where are they?
    Before you do anything else, I suggest you quit Dropbox and see whether there's any change.

  • Crash when clicking on certain links (have crash report #'s)

    FF crashes when clicking a link (happens to random links, but can be reproduced reliably). It even happened while trying to submit this crash question.
    '''Easy way to reproduce:'''
    Visit: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090418084813.htm
    Scroll to end of article, click link of "More information is available at: http://www.microtransat.org/"
    That should cause the crash.
    '''Alternate method''' (if you want a trusted website):
    Ask a crash question on this website (mozilla), click on "Click for detailed instructions" under the "Crash IDs" section.
    Insta-crash every time.

    I wasn't able to reproduce the crash clicking from sciencedaily to microtransat. A standard diagnostic for possible interference by add-ons is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
    If the links works correctly, this points to one of your add-ons or custom settings as the problem.
    Any change?

    Since then I even tried OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK, tried downgrading to Eclipse 4.2.1, unsintalled and reinstalled everything, tried the Eclipse portable version from their site, and the problem was still there. What should I do? What can cause this, it didn't happened 1 week ago, what's gone wrong?
    I even tried removing everything from workspaces but my source code, and all .eclipse and sh!t, I even tried running it as another user, and it still crashes on help -> welcome or every fifth minute in best case.
