Software keeps quitting for no reason

Hi
I wonder if anyone has any ideas about this, Adobe Illustrator (CS2 v) keeps quitting when I attempt to use certain tools. Occasionally Adbe Bridge just quits also.
Is this a software issue or a Mac issue? It never seems to happen when I use photoshop. Should I just blank everything and install the software again?
Many thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,
before you delete everything and re-install the software, try to run repair permission; open application folder > utilities folder > disk utility > repair permission.
And restart after that.
Good Luck.

TS1702 iBooks keeps quitting for no reason

iBooks keeps quitting for no reason. So tedious, so fed up with the app.

You might have a corrupt PDF file in iBooks, a corrupted book download, the app itself might be corrupt.....have you tried deleting the app and reinstall it? You can download your books again from the purchased tab of the iBooks app. If you sync with iTunes, you can sync all of your books back to the iPad after you delete the app and reinstall it.
In the meantime, you might want to just try quitting the app, reboot the iPad and then see how the app behaves.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iBooks app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Mail unexpectedly quitting for no reason

Wonder is anyone can help, I have been running Mail under 10.5.1 for some time now with no problems.
This morning I logged in, launched Mail and everything was fine until it tried to connect and download mail and then it unexpectedly quit. This is repeatable every time and I have no idea why it is doing it.
Anyone got any suggestions as to how to tackle it?
Thanks
PS no new software or plug ins have been added in between the time it was working and not.

Dear bneely
I wonder if you can help me?
I am having problems with Mail quitting for no reason almost as soon as I open it. It is clearly trying to bring mail in, but I have left it for hours and it either quits or just keeps trying ...
I have Entourage which, in desperation, I have been using, but I would much prefer to get mac Mail operational again. Here is the information that you say will help you to see what might be happening:

Phone keeps rebooting for no reason

I just replaced the battery in my Curve 8530 and it keeps rebooting for no reason at all. Any suggestions/resolutions?

Hey daVadar,
Have you tried removing and inserting the battery ? i would suggest trying to back up and complete a clean reload of the device software and test before restoring your backup: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
Cheers.

IMovie quits for no reasons and its options get reset

Just a bit ago, i was using imovie and then it quit for no reason, and it has beend oing that reciently, but I can get up fine. This time, it quit and it reset its options and I didn't tell it to do that. What is going on an d how can I fix this?
the project seems to be uneffected.

Perhaps you answered your own question. Garbage
Collection.
You need to save a reference of your implementation
class or it will be eaten by the GC. You can do this
by having a private Object within your Class.
You need to keep the Server alive. Once the RMI
Runtime had a "keep alive" thread for this but in
newer (SDK1.4+) versions it's now up to you.
We use this in our main() method that starts the
server:
Object forever = new Object();
... in a sync block
wait(forever);This sounds like it is right on the money, but could you please spell out in a little more detail what I need to do? As I mentioned, I start the server like this:
java -classpath dermpathApplet.jar:mail.jar:activation.jar:mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable-bin.jar com.edermpath.dermpath_client.DPAppletServer &
DPAppletServer is very simple, looks like this:
public class DPAppletServer {
public DPAppletServer() {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
new DPAppletServer();
DataAccessImpl da=new DataAccessImpl();
java.rmi.Naming.rebind("rmi://www.dp.mcw.edu/com.edermpath.dermpath_client.DataAccess",da);
etc
Do you mean that I need to modify DPAppletServer? Or DataAccessImpl? How would a private object prevent the server from being garbage collected? Where does the sync block go? Is it just for a separate thread that waits forever??
Thank you very much for your help!

My iMovie 8.0.6 keeps crashing for no reason!!! Help!!!

My iMovie 8.0.6 keeps crashing for no reason!!! Help!!! I have verified the version is up to date and never had this problem before. I deleted all of my other projects. Don't know how to fix this but it's driving me nuts and the program keeps closing out of nowhere!! How do I fix this??

Hi
No Quick Fix - only my Trouble shooting notes
Trouble-shooting guide
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
First try: Start iMovie - BUT keep - Shift-key down during full Up-Start - might help.
Pref and Cache files:
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext. HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTED as DOS etc.)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc. - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort:
Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

Applications Quitting for No Reason

Since I installed OS 4.1 on my iPhone 3G, my applications quit for no reason. Specifically, Facebook and Safari. With FB, it quits on me when I'm trying to post a line of text. Safari quits when I'm trying to load a page.
Will there be a OS 4.2 to fix these problems?
Thanks

This is a user-to-user forum. No one here knows what will be released or when.
And Apple never tells.
Try restarting the phone (shut it down, but hold it for 10 or 15 seconds beyond the point where the "slide to power off" appears).
This often helps.

HT1338 my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason, I press the side button and it connects again. Frustrating.

My wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason. Frustrating especially when you are going full on and nothing there. I press the button on the side and it connects again. Happening more frequently. Purchased in March.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.

I just have to ask, Is the battery due to be replaced by any chance?
Hope this helps

Software quits for no reason

Hi
Sorry i have posted this already, but i didn't get much response and I'm a bit desparate. If anyone can offer any ideas I'd be v.grateful!
Adobe Illustrator (CS2 v) keeps quitting when I attempt to use certain tools. Occasionally Adbe Bridge just quits also.
Is this a software issue or a Mac issue? It never seems to happen when I use photoshop. Should I just blank everything and install the software again?
Apple mentioned something about a 'bad configuration file' but were unable to offer me a solution to fixing this.
Many thanks!

I would un-install / re-install the CS2 suite. Trying to track down the problem may take longer than restoring the software.
I use the CS2 apps daily and have not had any problems of the type you mention.

Workouts keep ending for no reason

Ive been using the Nike+ for about 2 weeks now and my workouts keep randomly ending for no reason. After anywhere from .1 - 4 miles it will just stop and say workout complete. Then when I try to start again it tells me I need to connect the reciever even though i never removed it. I have to pull it out and put it back in again for it to recognize it. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

I have just started having this same problem. I exchanged my kit and am still experiencing difficulty. If you go back several pages on the message board, you will see a few threads with similar problems described. Unfortunately, I have not seen any sol'n yet, just hypotheses as to why it may be happening (heat, moisture, signal strength from the transmitter). I think it is none of these problems and will likely be solved with a software update from Apple, hopefully very soon! I am going to try running with the hold button on and see if that works, I'm also going to call the tech support numbers that came with the kit.
Post back if you find a solution!!!

My MacBook keeps freezing for no reason!

So I bought a MacBook about 3 weeks ago and I was super excited and I love this thing, but it keeps freezing for no apparent reason! I will just be on the internet, or listening to music on iTunes or chatting, and it will freeze. I can't get any response from the keyboard or the mousepad and if music is playing, it sounds like the track is skipping. I have to force shut it down by holding the power button down everytime this happens. Sometimes it will happen after 30 minutes, sometimes not for 3 hours. I took it in 2 weeks ago for a hardware check and it came up clear and they told me it should be fine and might be my wireless internet connection. I have a NETGEAR wireless router. So, I turned off airport and did other things on the computer and it ran fine for over 3 hours without freezing. I was convinced it was my internet. BUT.... I had my friend come over and hook up to my internet connection and we both were on our macbooks (she has the exact same model as me) and mine froze and hers was completely fine the whole time! I was really angry and confused, so I brought my macbook back in again last friday. They told me there was an airport update, so I downloaded it and it seemed to be working. But that night, it froze once again. I was so frustrated and didn't know what else to do, so I did a complete system reinstall to clear out any programs that may have been causing the problem. I was so sure that this was going to work. And it seemed like it did. It's been working all week without freezing. Until tonight. I was sitting at my desk, reading my email, listening to music on iTunes, and chatting on iChat. I wanted to move my computer, so I unplugged from the wall, sat in a different chair and didn't plug back into the wall. It was fine for about 2 minutes in the new location, and then it froze once again. I honestly don't know what to do other than just bring it back and ask for a new one. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Any other suggestions? I just want this to stop!!!

Hi Stephen,
There seems to be alot of threads about this issue.
I just put 'freezes' into the search and loads came up.
It sounds like you've had a bad start with your new MB.
Does it get extra hot before it freezes?
There is a thread about the heat issue and freezing here...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4710316&#4710316
Have a read and see if any of your problems are similar.
If it persists much longer I would get in touch with Apple again and get it sorted.
Hope this helps!

Active screen corners suddenly quits for no reason

Friends,
Active screen corners sometimes suddenly quits on me for no reason. I'm breezing along, doing my thing and periodically moving the mouse to one corner to "show desktop" or another to show "all windows." Suddenly, moving the mouse to the corner does nothing. I can't predict when this will occur. Restarting solves the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve

Are you using an external monitor, but not all the time? I get the exact same behavior sometimes when I disconnect my MacBook Pro from my external monitor and then try to activate Expose using active screen corners. It simply doesn't work. However, if I restart, everything works just fine because Leopard recognizes my laptop screen as the primary display. Seems like a bug to me, but I'm not sure. I'd like to hear from others who may know more about the issue.
