Software application unexpected closure

Recently bought imac g5, upgrade from g4 and am having trouble with Roxio Popcorn loading. Everytime I go to burn content to DVD - the application unexpectedly closes which means I have to reboot. Have reloaded original software and still the same result. Relatively new to mac's - any ideas on what the problem might be or if I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks for any suggestions
imac g5 1.9 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Jones:
Welcome to Aple Discussions.
I am not familiar with that particular application but I suggest that you go into your home directory (your short user name on the Finder) and go to Library/Preferences and look for one or more preference files (.plst) that are associated with the application (may say something like com.apple.roxio.plist). Drag the file to the trash.
After you restart your computer go into Utilities/DisK Utility and repair permissions. Then, restart the application and try to burn your DVD.
Good luck.

My software applications were unexpectedly quitting (i tunes, pages, skype) so I upgraded to Lion OS 7. It took 2 days to download, 14 hours and counting to install so I switched it off and on. The only result is a screen asking for my password. I key in

My software applications were unexpectedly quitting ( I Tunes, page, skype) so I downloaded Lion OS 7. It took 48 hours to download and 18 hours to install (and counting) so i turned it off and on several times. All i get now is a screen with the Apple Icon asking for my password with option to switch off or restart. tried both but it just brings me back to the same screen
what do i do?
thanks

When you decided to upgrade because you were having serious problems, you jumped from the frying pan into the fire. If the problem was the system, then reinstalling the current system is the way to go. But you had several application quiting, some from Apple and some not. so the quitting was something affecting all of them, and of course the system could be the culprit, but the system is not the only possible culprit. Replacing the system when it was not the problem only buries the problem under a whole new pile of problems.
Before reinstalling a system you need to make your Mac as trouble free as possible and back up as much as you can. There is a wide variety of problems that can affect many applications. Here is a short list:
Font problems. Use Font Book to verify your fonts. Delete or disable bad fonts.
Disk, permission, or cache corruption.
Incompatible Startup Items, Login Items, interface modifications or menu extras.
Corrupted preferences other than those of the affected applications. Check preferences system-wide using the freeware applications Preferential Treatment or AppleJack
Insufficient RAM or lack of free disk space.
Programming errors. Bugs in application code are not uncommon. For third-party applications, check the vendor's Web site for updates to the application, reports of known bugs, or for information on how to contact the vendor for support. A bad program might be grabbing up too much RAM and causing the other applications to fail as well.
Corrupted application. Check the logs to see where the crash occurred.
Other software problems or conflicts.
Corrupted Mac OS X installation. Perform an Archive and Install of your current Mac OS X.
Hardware problems. Run the Apple Hardware Test that came with your Mac.
Try to discover the culprit:
Open Console, located in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
Check the Console and System logs for messages that may be related to the problem.
To open these logs, in Console choose File > Open, then choose:
Open Console Log and Open System Log
Messages in these logs are time stamped when the message was logged.
Scroll the log windows to the approximate time when the problem occurred.
Details of the messages may provide additional clues you use in troubleshooting.
Do not post an entire log to a forum. Post only the messages referring to the function or application causing a problem.
AppleJack is a free program you run in 'Single User Mode.' Install it. When you want to run it, press Command s until you get a black screen with text. Type 'applejack' and run the repairs.

Unexpected closure

Hello
Anyone know the cause of the unexpected closure of the iMovie application versión10.0.2 Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64) Maverick, while importing video for editing?. The computer is in use latest MacBook Pro 2011 model MacBookPro 8,1, 4 Gb RAM, 2.4 GHz processor Intel Core i5.
That did not happen with the previous version of iMovie on the original OS Lion.
Thank you for your help.

In Organizer right click on one of the images with a question markand choose Show Properties.
The dialog will show the file name and original file path.
Use the file name to search for your photos and then put them back in the correct folder - shown ringed in red on my example.

IChat - Application unexpectedly quit error after Leopard upgrade

iChat was working fine until the installation of Leopard - now I get "Application unexpectedly quit..." error with an option to "ignore", "send error script to Apple", etc. This happens all the time now, so cannot use ichat at all. I've looked to re-install the iChat component of Leopard using Pacifist software, but this does not help. I've looked at the various discussion topics in this forum but I still cannot seem to get to an answer that works. Any ideas?

Without launching iChat from the DOCK click and Hold the icon and then select Show In Finder.
When that window opens click and hold the title of the Window
Where does the Path say you are ?
It should read Applications, your Hard Drive Name and possibly the Computer name.
It should not mention anything about a Previous System (I suspect it does in fact do this)

Applications Unexpectedly Quitting and Scary Gray 'Restart' Screen shows up

hi,
I recently started having several issues with applications unexpectedly quitting. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern, just random crashes. Anything from Finder to AppleWorks to Adobe Acrobat Reader and Final Cut Pro. My computer also came up with the scary gray "you must restart your computer" screen 3 times this afternoon.
It seems to have just started today, so I went into Console to see what might be causing the problem. Here is a portion of the near the beginning of the log I found interesting:
2008-11-11 20:09:02.582 Backup Engine 3[205] MaxBack Engine MaxBackEngineController-- MoreSecCopyHelperToolURLAndCheckBundled #1

launchd[92]: com.seagate.notificationexec.plist: 7 more failures without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal
launchd[92]: com.seagate.notificationexec.plist: will restart in 10 seconds
I also found a very strong pattern later in the log and it continues as long as the computer is running. This message appears about every 15 seconds.
"launchd[92]: com.seagate.notificationexec.plist: 6 more failures without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal"
I don't know if this is causing the crashes, but it seems to be the only thing happening in the log when my computer is just sitting. I assume it has something to do with a Seagate 250 external USB drive I have connected to my computer. I got it in January but the problem seems to have just started today. The drive came with software called "Drive Manager". I've had it installed in my computer since January. The only function of the software seems to be backing up the hard drive, and I really don't have a use for it. I'm thinking uninstalling it might solve the problem, but I have to find an uninstaller first. (MaxBack (listed in the log) seems to be a part of the Seagate software as well.)
Just as a side note: I've been having DVD verification failures when I burn DVDs and audio bumps while exporting video to tape in Final Cut Pro. (i even got a gray 'restart' screen while exporting in Final Cut) I don't know if these issues are related to the crashing or not but they are happening at about the same time.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. This is my main computer and I really don't want it crashing on me all the time. Thanks!

Boot from your installer disc and run Disk Utility. Verify your internal drive. I would hesitate about repairing it until you have made a backup of your files since on rare occasions repairing it makes it worse. If all is clear then make your backup. If it reports errors I would do a backup, then re-boot from your installer disc and this time try repairing. If it repairs the drive then you might want to do the backup again of the repaired drive. See, I'm doing this incrementally. Maybe a bit mroe effort but you're covering your bases as best you can. If DU can't repair your drive the other thing is to buy a copy of Diskwarrior and run that.
Here's my standard "uninstall applications post":
Most small programs can have all their components contained within an app package. After running, the program will likely install a file in Preferences (either in your user area, or the main preferences, or both). Dragging a program and its preferences to the trash is often all that is needed, or you can use a program like AppDelete to delete these programs. However, most app delete programs will not have an inventory of what is installed -- they just look for files that are clearly associated with the app you are deleting.
Try to find files associated with the application you want to delete by using Spotlight, Finder, or EasyFind (free and generally highly recommended) to search for the application's name. Favorite folders for files to be installed are:
/Applications/
/Library/Preferences/
/Users/YourName/Library/Application Support/
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
where YourName refers to the user name when you login and the / indicates the series of folders down from your main drive.
A few programs may set login items to start automatically when your computer starts or a specific user logs in. These items are located in: /Library/StartupItems/ or /Users/YourName/Library/StartupItems/ To edit these, go to your account set up in System Preferences, login items tab, select the item(s) and a "-" to remove.
More involved programs (e.g., Office) may install bits and pieces all over the place, like fonts, libraries, etc. The software installer may have an uninstall option, or there may be a separate uninstaller for these. In bad situations you have to hunt around yourself.
Some programs install invisible files. You can use a utility like Onyx to toggle visibility on your computer and check for invisible files.
Sometimes programs install files (often hidden) not readily associated with the program and if you're worried about those the only thing to do is a scan before and after installing a program and see what has changed.
Check out the utility [AppDelete|www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appdelete.html]. It will remove simple applications and most of their associated files.

I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite. When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error.

I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite. When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error. I am running Mac OS 10.10.1. This only started happening when I installed the update of Adobe Acrobat.

Hi MEW1,
Is the printer connected wirelessly or wired?
Go to Preferences and under categories go to > Convert to Pdf then select the Image Capture and then hit ok button.
Close Acrobat and then relaunch it and see if it helps you while you do scanning.

HT1386 I had to replace the corrupted hard drive in my macbook pro recently, and after I did so I did a full factory software & application restore. Now my iTunes says my iPhone 5 is no longer an authorized device. What should I do?

I had to replace the corrupted hard drive in my macbook pro recently, and after I did so I did a full factory software & application restore. I had to rebuild my iTunes Library by dragging my music folders in my iTunes Media into the iTunes Application and rebuild my playlists manually. After plugging my iPhone 5 into the computer USB, it immediately recognized my iPhone 5, showing: last backups, space left on my iPhone & all options available. I then checked the box to manually manage music etc. The problem I am now having is that when I actually try to drag music from my iTunes to my phone a prompt comes up saying that my iPhone is not an authorized device. What should I do? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!

jrmetzger,
iOS runs on iPads and iPhones; OS X runs on Macs.
Given your situation, I’d highly recommended that you purchase a SATA-to-USB adapter, so that you can test both your old disk and your new disk externally, since it might be that the problem is due to a faulty internal SATA cable rather than due to faulty disks.

Can't get remote cluster machine to encode video - getting 'Media Server application unexpectedly quit'

Hi
Using Compressor 4 / Apple QuarterMaster admin etc, I have set up a Cluster and it works well to Share > Export Using Compressor Settings. That took some doing, and I'm happy that it works.
If I do all my processing in the foreground, or alternatively in the background on my FCPX computer, ie without running or using any cluster in the background, it all goes well. Quick, error free.
If I activate the cluster and only put my local machine's compressor services into it, and then send my compressor batch to the cluster, it works perfectly well. But that defeats the point of having a cluster. I want the remote machine to do all the work so my local machine doesn't slow down.
Unfortunately, if I add the remote machine's services into the cluster, the encoding always fails with 'Media Server application unexpectedly quit' in the error log. I know that the cluster is distributing segments of the file to the remote machine - this can be seen in the Share Monitor, but they never get processed and sit there waiting until I get the error message.
The remote machine is a modern 4G core 2 duo MacBook. It's never been used for this before. It has Compressor 4 and the Pro Apps Update installed and both appear to work. Both machines are running 10.6.8. The remote machine has Compressor services initialised in Apple QMaster sharing. The QMasterAdmin sees these services. They are accessible over Bonjour and appear in the Cluster. Compressor services from both the local and the remote machine are configured exactly the same way. The same QT codecs exist on both machines. I've restarted, shift-restarted, etc etc.
So I am at a loss here. The remote machine just won't compress anything it is sent.
Any ideas? Must both have FCPX installed?
Anyone actually got a remote machine in a cluster to work with Compressor 4? I can't figure it out.
Chris.

OK... finally sorted it out.
It's a bug, as far as I can tell.
Any job entered directly into Compressor 4 in the normal Compressor manner will be successfully rendered by any working cluster from any machine that can access the cluster. That's good. It means that the underlying distributed processing model works well.
HOWEVER - any job forwarded to a Compressor 4 cluster that includes non-local compressor services (ie compressor services not resident on the same machine), using Share > Export Using Compressor Settings direct from FCPX will fail.
To confirm this bug, I made a cluster on a remote machine. It was a dual core machine, so I enabled 2 compressor services on that machine, and that's all the cluster was. Simple.
I then manually entered a video file (ProRess 422 720p) into Compressor on the remote machine. I did this by physically setting up new job using the compressor user interface. A bog standard ProRes422 720p file rendered fine this way on the remote machine. As did anything else I gave it. Good.
Then on my main machine, I opened Compressor and made a job based on the same file and settings, and sent it to the remote machine's cluster. No problem at all! Great!
So now I know that both Compressor versions, and the clustering model, are working fine. In fact I can send all sorts of files to the cluster, from any other version of compressor, and have them processed on the remote machine, and get the result back on my desktop later on. Excellent.
But, if I try put this same file into a FMPX timeline, and go Share > Export Using Compressor Settings.... and select a cluster with remote (non-local) compressor services, it does not work. Rendering the video segments on the remote machine times out and fails, every time. It doesn't matter what file format I use, it just fails.
So it's a bug.
From what I can tell, Final Cut Pro X somehow messes up the Share > Export Using Compressor settings where the cluster includes non-local compressor services, causing all jobs to fail. The same Share > Export Using Compressor Settings will work quite happily if all the services on the cluster are on the same machine as FCPX, or if the job is sent to This Computer in the background. But any attempt to send files to a cluster using any remote services will fail.
I hope this saves some people from wasting as much time as I have!
One workaround is to export to ProRes then put this file manually into Compressor, sending the job to the remote cluster. This is a two step process with a large intermediary ProRes file. If one goes Export as QuickTime movie, generating the intermediary file prevents further FCPX work being done.
To get the intermediary in the background one could use Share > Export Using Compressor Settings via either This Computer, or to a cluster using only local services. Then once complete, manually add it to a compressor job.
So this is a FCPX bug as far as I can tell.
Chris.

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

TS3854 Media Server application unexpectedly quit

Hi,
when i use Final Cut Pro 10.0.6 the below mwssage appears
i cannot save the project in any format and i have updated all versions
Media Server application unexpectedly quit
what does this mean??? and what to do??
Please Assist

Well, I'm not sure what exactly is going on yet, but here's what I've done:
I followed these steps for the "Unable to connect to background process" issue that Compressor sometimes has, even though that wasn't the issue. It sort of made sense to do, though, because when I reinstalled FCP and DVDSP, I did DVDSP4 first, then FCP HD 4.5, which predates DVDSP 4 by a generation (I think). So it was possible that Compressor got screwed up in the install...still hard to tell, though.
So then I just tried a bunch of videos in Compressor. After several various attempts, it appears that *perhaps, maybe* it was just a bad custom preset. The built-in 150 min 2-Pass is currently working away on the video, and is 10% into it, which is 10% more than the custom preset ever got.
So, I'm gong to let that encode, and then try to make the preset again, from scratch, and see I can figure anything out. The only thing different between the 150 min 2-Pass preset and my version of it was the addition of a Gamma Correction filter. So, who knows...
If anyone knows anything else, please make a post.

Install software/application from pc to nokia lumi...

hey sir,
i want to know how can i install a software/application that i downloaded in my computer into my nokia lumia 920.
thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't unless you have paid to get your 920 developer unlocked. For security and anti-piracy normal users can only install apps from the store.

HT4539 cannot play game after purchase - states: "regrant failed - please purchase the software application first.

downloaded several times and started playing only to find out it did not download??
sates: regrant failed-please purchase software application first.
Playrex states there is an issue when setting up. I would prefer a refund at this time
since I have already played the beginning numerous times and wish to make a different purchase
please advise....thanks

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo much i switched back i actually bought it thank you thank you thank you thank you

Is it possible to invoke other software applications in labview?

Is it possible to invoke other software applications in labview? I would like to upload my files processed in Labview to my web based database. I have no basis of FTP and SQL. Providing that I have no Internet Database Toolkit installed in my computer. So, is it possible to "call" the software in Labview, just like calling a function or sub VI?

Hello kaykeat,
It is definitely possible to call other applications inside LabVIEW. Please see the links below for more help on the most common ways to call external programs.
If the code is a shared library:

How to enlarge the memory in Microblaze for software applications?

Dear, I wrote a C program, which after compiled generates a ELF binary with around 85KB. However, it is known that the Microblaze by default uses only 64KB. So my question is how can I enlarge the memory in Microblaze for software applications? The application does not use any kind of buffer or data that could be stored in another block memory. The size is larger due to the complexity of the algorithm in question. Is there any way to increase the default block memory in Microblaze? BR,Rodolfo Lossio

BR,Rodolfo Lossio MicroBlaze uses the amount of BRAM that you specified when you created the system using the BSB. There is no "default." To change the amount of BRAM after creating the project: in the EDK, click on the "addresses" tab. Look for the instance of xps_bram_if_ctrl. Change its size using the drop-down combo box. Note that you can only do this in powers-of-two, so if you've already allocated 64 kB the next option is 128 kB. Make sure your FPGA has enough BRAMs to do this!
