SYSTEM CRASH with 'Save As PDF' in Safari

Since installing 10.6.4 my MacBook crashes whenever I attempt to "Save as PDF" in Safari. I am unable to force quit Safari or use any other application as the spinning beachball of death works its magic. I removed Safari 5 and replaced it with Safari 4.05 (using Time Machine) but this has no effect. All I can do is a hard reset to get my MacBook back from the abyss. I've just tried 'Save As PDF' from a Pages document and this worked fine.
Any ideas?

First thing I would do if I were you is find your Snow Leopard installer DVD, boot from it, and when you get to the point where there is a menubar across the top of your screen, go into Utilities and run Disk Utility's Repair Volume option. If errors, run it over and over until no more "file system was modified" messages are reported. Then run the Repair Permissions option. That one reports errors that never go away so don't worry so much about them. Then reboot, and google "10.6.4 combo update." Download the combo update and reapply it.
No Sno installer DVD? Then boot while holding down the ⌘s keys. When you get to a user prompt, type fsck -fy and run it over and over until you get no more "file system was modified" messages. Then type exit so the computer reboots. You can continue with the repair permissions and combo update bit after the computer has rebooted into GUI mode.

"Save As PDF" in Safari only Results in "Error While Printing"

Hi, first time poster. I searched through the forum and didn't find anything like my problem specifically on topic. I still Hope this isn't being redundant with anything else that has been posted.
Problem:
When I go to Print->Save as PDF the normal dialogue comes up without a problem. Its when I click on the save button that I an error saying "Error While Printing" pops up. Pulling up the console nets me with the following:
5/25/08 11:36:12 AM Safari[95216] Printing failed because PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog() returned -30871.
And from CUPS:

*What I've Tried*
I haven't had any luck with the solutions others have posted online (like Little Snitch being a culprit) when I've searched for either the "Save As PDF", "Error While Printing", or the console log error. I've run the printer reset function in system preferences and I've never had any printer installed on the system.
I should note that prior to any of these problems with Safari, I installed the Firefox 3 RC1. I've since uninstalled it, because I was suspicious of it having an effect (being a little buggy as an RC). Removing it with AppCleaner hasn't changed the problem.
Thanks all,

I could print/save as .pdf until I did my latest software upgrade. Now I get "error while printing", and have been unable to find a solution. this is quite a problem for me, because I do a lot of research on the Web and have saved my results for years in pdf. Have you found a solution?
Best regards,

How can I automate 'Save as PDF' in Safari?

I routinely research stuff, then save it in PDF (it seems to be a better format that html pages).
Is there a way I can automate this, rather than the lengthy CMD+Print>PDF>Save As PDF routine?

You can also script the user interface with an AppleScript. The following AppleScript will save the current Safari (Version 3.1.2) page to the default location (if you want to specify another location, just remove the last keystroke return statement):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
-- save the current Safari page as PDF
tell application "Safari"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "p" using {command down} -- activate print menu item
delay 0.5
tell sheet 1
repeat 2 times -- tab to the PDF button
keystroke tab using {shift down}
delay 0.25
end repeat
keystroke space -- press the button
delay 0.25
repeat 2 times -- move to the save item
keystroke (ASCII character 31) -- down arrow
delay 0.25
end repeat
keystroke return -- activate the menu item
delay 0.25
keystroke return -- press the save button
end tell
end tell
end tell

Flash player causes entire system crash with black screen

When watching a video on youtube, streaming on twitch or other things my entire system will crash with the following symptoms:
-Black Screen
-Intermittent stuttering sound
-Only fixable by a hard reboot (holding the power button). The reset button will NOT work. Video will NOT return, it will continue to loop this way until a hard reset.
Your Flash Version
11.9.900
Your browser name
Firefox
Your Operating System (OS)
Windows (Windows 7)
That information taken directly from Adobe's site. Using 64-bit, 8GB of RAM installed. ATI Radeon HD 6850 card. I have done a fresh Win 7 install a couple months ago and JUST NOW put flash back on here...now it's crashing. While times vary before the crash, I just watched a youtube video for less than 5 seconds before it happened.
Upon reboot, I get the "Windows was not shut down properly" message. No "Your system has recovered..." message, however. I've seen very few posts about this and none of the solutions help but this is REALLY pissing me off now. It happened to me before and the only fix was a fresh system install. I'm not doing that again.

Hi Mike,
I appreciate the reply. I can run the system for days, literally, doing other tasks such as music through iTunes, gaming through Steam, voice chatting on Ventrilo. The only time I will ever experience this issue will be the five minutes I watch a youtube video or watch a stream on Twitch..
My primary HD is a relatively new Intel SSD. I do have multiple other drives but they're used for storage of media (include aforementioned music).
I have been a youtuber and streamer for a while, and i'd like to try and record the phenominon, but i'll have to do so using an external camera since i'm not sure I can stop and save the recorded data. I'll have to do so I guess so I can give a better idea of the issue occuring.
Thanks again.

Problem with save as PDF with FrameMaker 12

Hey,
I just received FrameMaker 12 and I like it.
But I'm having problems when I use the save as PDF function.
It takes very long time to generate the PDF (at least 30 minutes for a book)
The fonts and spaces are messed up in the finished PDF. Some text blocks have paragraphs running over the margin
I have tried a couple of different things:
saving as MIF and back to FM
uncheck rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts
but nothing have worked yet, please help I'm getting frustrated.

Hi Jeff,
After I realized that I didn't make the setprint.ini file, I did that and deleted the printer=adobe pdf in the .dll file. But it still doesn't work. I save to pdf anyway, I was just trying to optimize my usage by making the default printer in FM the adobe pdf printer.
Anyway, the .dll file from above has the below information in it. I don't know what it means, but it has errors all over. Does this make a difference and what does it mean?....Thanks!

Webcam Live Pro causes system crash with Windows XP Home

Ever since installing Webcam Live Pro I have been having random system restarts. This ONLY happens when the webcam is being used. It happens when using the Creative Webcam Center or another application. Sometimes the restart will happen after a few minutes, and other times an hour or more. I am running Windows XP sp2 with all patches, and there are no driver conflicts listed in Device Manager. I have the cam set at 60 hz.
Even though there are no listed driver conflicts in Device Manager, there clearly is a driver conflict that occurs from time to time. I have read of other people having this same problem on this forum with Webcam Live Pro. I am using the driver ...0 which is dated 0//2004, and the automatic update program on this web site says that I am using the latest driver. But in the download section of this web site, the latest driver is listed as .0.0.0 and dated November 9, 2004. The driver numbers or dates do not match, and the driver on the web seems to have an earlier number but a later date!?
Does anyone (especially a Creative tech support person who may be reading this post) have any idea what to do? The driver version is one issue. But the big issue is the system crashes.
Best,
CB

Solution! I discovered the problem causing the system crash, and I think it is sufficiently interesting to note here so that others may benefit from what I discovered. First, there is no fundamental problem/conflict with the driver for Webcam Live Pro. The trouble in my instance is that I was running another program that utilized the web cam, and that program conflicted with the Webcam Live Pro program that was constantly running in the system tray. Basically, the program in the system tray is loaded with the set-up for Webcam Live Pro. It constantly monitors the computer system to see if the cam is connected to the computer. When it does this while another program is using the cam, the conflict occurs, causing the entire computer to reboot. The solution is to right mouse click the icon for Webcam Live Pro in the system tray, go to settings, and to remove the check that allows the program to check for the presence of the web cam. Just to be safe, I then also exited the Webcam Live Pro program from the system tray so that nothing from that program could interfere with my use of the webcam using another program.
The result is that the webcam is rock solid, with no system crashes. I have been running it nonstop for hours without a problem.
I hope this helps someone else.
Best,

Save a PDF from Safari

When I click on a PDF in Safari it opens in Safari. How can I save the PDF to a file?

First, you need to download a PDF reading app. You can download iBooks (free) or a different iPAD PDF reading program. After that, when your PDF is displayed in safari you can tap on the document and you'll have an option to "Open in ..." the PDF program. (I think this option may also appear at the top of the document in a menu bar when you first view it in Safari.) When it opens in iBooks, for example, it also saves a copy of the PDF on the bookshelf so that it is available without needing to go back to the website.

Fm9p237, probs with Save As PDF, turns *some* anchored frames blue

I am using Save As PDF because have to create CMYK PDF. I know how to do that. The issue now is that FrameMaker is sticking blue boxes around only *some* of the graphics.
They are all EPS graphics imported by reference into anchored frames. These boxes do not appear in the FM file.
The boxes clearly are the anchored frame bounding boxes.
Any ideas? Any switch I should set? Any ritual incantations that will appease the FM Postscript generator?
Thanks for your help, Becky

Hi Bernd and Art,
Yes, I am using spot colors. I did some more testing and here is what I found:
Use Save As PDF in FM-->all colors except for spots are correctly converted to CMYK. Bitmap screenshots are also converted to CMYK. If I convert the spot colors to CMYK SWOP in Acrobat 9, using its preflight tool, the spots are all converted to the same CMYK values that they were assigned in Frame. BUT there are random blue boxes in the doc, clearly where FM for some reason colored the bounding box of an anchored frame or a table cell.
Print to Adobe Printer instance in FM with the Press Quality job options-->All colors come out CMYK, including spot colors and bitmapped
and there are no random blue boxes BUT the CMYK conversions of the spot colors are wrong.
My choice: Save As PDF. I will just remove the blue boxes with Acrobat.
I considered PitStop Pro and downloaded the trial copy, but its userdoc is terrible and I can't figure out how to batch-convert the incorrect CMYK colors t. Can't find any good help on line either. Too much bother.
Sigh. Adobe, are you listening? It's ridiculous that the company that produces Photoshop can't make CMYK color conversion work in Frame.
TThank you, Bernd and Art. I appreciate your feedback very much.

Entire System Crashes With iTunes

I've acer with Windows 7 and entire system crashes while i use ITunes. Had latest update, but to be sure went back to download 64 bit. Still crashed so uninstalled in case other version partially installed and then re-installed 64 bit. Still crashes.

Sorry 'bout the delay, Eva.
Since the last time we spoke, iTunes 10.1.0.56 was released. The primary bug fix was for the CoreAudioToolbox.dll related "iTunes has stopped working" messages, but I figure it's probably worth a check with your bsod too.
I don't know if it shows up for people in their Apple Software Update (It didn't for me yesterday when I checked). So get it from the installer available from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Any impact on the problem?

System crash with large PNG file

PS: It's OS X 10.9, I forgot to update infomation of my registered Mac.

System crash with KT6 Delta

Hi,
I am new around here, so excuse the noobness
Anyway, i hope you guys can help me out here a bit.
So here goes :
I just purchased a MSI KT6 Delta mobo to replace my old SYK7V Dragon Plus mobo which died on me 2 days ago. Initial installation was ok, with these device installed :
1) AMD Athlon XP 2000+
2) Winfast Geforce 4 Ti 4200 64MB
3) Creative Audigy Soundcard
4) 2 HDD, C: (120GB, Partition to 2 10GB and 100GB) E: (40GB)
5) 2 x 256MB PC2100 (Crucial RAM)
6) Logitech USB Optical Mouse
7) Aztech ADSL Modem (906EU)
The above configuration work flawlessly with all memory timing, AGP option turn to the max.
The problem arise when i added a new NIC from 3Com, the model of the NIC is 3C905C-TX-M, a 10/100Base-T card. The problem i am now facing is intermitten crash, the PC will just freeze in the middle of an operation, if it is in Windows, the mouse will stop moving. If it is in a game, the sound will skip and repeat a few tone, the screen will freeze also.
I have already updated the following drivers for these device :
1) VIA Inf driver, the latest downloadble from http://www.viaarena.com
2) Geforce driver, latest downloadble from nvidia.com
3) Audigy driver, latest downloadble from crative website.
4) 3Com Nic driver, latest downloadble from 3Com website.
I suspect it could be my Soundcard crashing with the nic somehow, as it i happen to see some skipping sound after i installed the nic. I have tried changing the PCI latency from 36 up to 128, still no help. I tried moving my soundcard to different PCI slot, and still the problem persist. Do any of you guys have this sort of problem? Any idea at all?

Mind elaborating a bit? I am not very well versed in PSU terminology. All those are just number to me. They know me, but alas i don't know them. All i know is a bigger PSU would almost always means a better PSU. I am planning to get either a Ati 9600XT or a 9800 Pro/XT in about 2-3 months time. If it is indeed that i need a newer PSU, perhaps you can tell me what to look out for, since i may as well be buying a new PSU.
Also... the PC seems to be running in a stable condition. No more hanging or crashes. I have also changed some setting in AGP, so as to speed up some game play, and still no crashes. Changed setting on BIOS for AGP is :
AGP mode : 4x
AGP aperture : 256MB (I usually set em at half my system ram)
Fast Write : Enabled
AGP Master 1 W/S Write : Enabled
AGP Master 1 W/S Read : Enabled
AGP Read Synch : Enabled
Gaming performance has been increase noticably, no more jerkiness.
Also, i have found out that my NIC has a shared IRQ with my OHCI compliant 1394 IEEE Host Controller, so i disabled that. I am not using it anyway, no loss there.
I will be trying memory tweaking tomorrow and let you guys know if there any crashes. Memory timing now in BIOS is still relatively conservative. I'll let it run for a day and see if there any problem before i mess with the memory timings.
Thanks to the kind people who help me. Appreciate all the help from you all.

I can't provide you guys with anything, it's been with this guy for over a month. I've been running with 6GB for the past 2 years with no problems until I dusted out the inside of the case. Obviously it aggravated the problem I had two years ago.
i agree, maybe that wasn't the solution. it was after all 2 years ago and my memory was fuzzy. After a month and a half with this guy I got my comp back today. He reinstalled windows 7 and updated the BIOS. That helped out a lot, but it still froze twice, and reset it's self once with 6GB RAM in it. I took the 3rd RAM stick out, givign me 4GB, and noticed that my graphics drivers weren't updated yet, so maybe that was the reason for the crashes? I'm not so sure about that either though, because after I updated the GPU drivers it froze not too long after that. Maybe I needed to reboot for the drivers to take full effect? it didn't prompt me to restart, so I'm a little uncertain there.
I was thinking of trying it with 6GB RAM again, now that my graphics drivers are up to speed and the system has been rebooted.

System crashing with 6GB RAM, fine with 4GB

intel i7 920
6GB RAM
windows 7 home premium 64 bit
MSI x58 platinum motherboard
nvidia GTX 260 graphics
750w power supply
got my system being fixed by a professional, but we're stuck right now trying to find a solution to my problem. The system is fine with 4GB in any slot, but when the third stick is put in, the system crashes.
I'll go into some more detail of my troubles, this should help in the solution.
system was built out of Fry's Electronics 2 years ago. From the moment that I took it home I was having this problem. I thought it might be a faulty RAM stick at the time, so I had them replaced, but to no avail. The soluton if I remember was to reformat. Everything was fine for 2 years.
last month I opened up the system and cleaned the dust out of the inside. I removed the RAM and the CPU fan. Hooked everything back up and the system starts crashing and rebooting like crazy, and there's the problem again. It would crash while it's booting up, while it's sitting at the desk top, while I'm on the internet, any time it wanted to crash, it would do so. Not only that, but my BIOS and graphics drivers were suddenly out of date for some reason. I keep my drivers up to date, so this was weird to me.
I'll forward the ideas that you guys come up with to my guy, thanks ahead for your assistance.

Abiword 3.0 - crash when save as pdf

Recently I have upgraded Abiword to 3.0. When save a document in pdf format Abiword crashes and leaves 2 files in the directory:
.gsf-save-XXXXXX
documentname.abw.saved
Is it an issue with the new 3.0 version or something is wrong with my system? In previous version the pdf conversion worked fine. Thanks!

Abiword 3.0 is a mess!
I can confirm abiword crashes when trying to save a document as *.pdf on 3.12.7-2-ARCH x86_64 + i686 + 3.8.13.1-1-ARCH armv7l, GNU/Linux, Openbox, LXDE.
Furthermore the top ruler is covered by a grey bar as soon as you click into the text window so you cannot use tabulators nor indentation. (Bugzilla Bug 13582)
The system wide theme and appearance settings are ignored and abiword appears in a very ugly GTK standard theme.
Seems like abiword 3.0 has inherited all the long known bugs from its 2.9.X antecessors.
IMHO it was a bad decision to put abiword 3.0 into the repositorys as it is unstable and buggy.
The only way is to downgrade to last stable 2.8.6-9 version until abiword becomes usable again.
EDIT: Another annoying bug: *.odt files created and saved with abiword 2.8.X cannot be opened with abiword 3.X!!
