"The application Sync Server has quit unexpectedly"

For the last week or so, the above message appears on my screen about once an hour. I can choose Ignore, Report to Apple, or Relaunch. I usually choose Ignore, although sometimes I hit Report.
The thing is, my MacBook Pro has been extremely sluggish for several months now--almost to the point of being useless. I've been trolling the support boards, trying various suggestions, but nothing has helped for a significant amount of time.
Until now. When I Ignore or Report the Sync Server failure, my machine perks right up and the speed is just as fast as when it was new. This situation lasts for about 45-50 minutes, then Sync Server apparently tries to sync, my machine slows down, then Sync Server fails, and the box comes up... and the cycle begins again. Then another 45-50 minutes of terrific speed.
Since I do not at the moment have much need for syncing (I have one computer and no gadgets or gizmos that need syncing) , I would be happy to kill Sync Server (assuming that is possible). However, I plan to get an iPhone later this year, and then I will need to sync that.
So--any ideas how I could get Sync Server to not quit but yet not slow down my computer?

I'm having the same problem on my machine. SyncServer has completely taken over my computer; when I watch it in Activity Monitor I can see it taking up >95% of my CPU processing ALL the time. I can force quit for a few short moments, but it just starts back up again. I tried the solution as listed in the link above (Open Terminal and type in that one-liner) but no success. Any other thoughts on getting SyncServer to stop having a mind of its own?

Well we are at 10.4.11 right now and 10.4.6 if I recall correctly was a nasty version. I'm running CS2 on 10.4.11 with no constant crashing. You always have the one off goofy crash every once in a while.

Using Gimpshop - the application gimp-2.2 quit unexpectedly

Hi there,
When I try to open the gimp.app program, first a window pops up that says "caching fonts" and another window with a header 'xterm' comes up and in the xterm window it says "bash-3.2$".
After a minute or so, the "the application gimp-2.2 quit unexpectedly" message appears.
X11 seems to be running when all this happens although I don't know what X11 is or does.
Hope someone can help

I had the exact same problem with gimpshop and os 10.5.7
I just downloaded the latest version today for the first time. any suggestions?

The application Printer Setup Utility quit unexpectedly

Hi All,
I'm using 10.4.11, trying to add a printer. In 'Default Browser', I click on 'More Printers', and I receive the following error, The application Printer Setup Utility quit unexpectedly.
Done all the basics, reset permissions, updated latest software, no help.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
Did you reboot your computer after repairing permissions & installing? If so, trash the com.apple.print.PrintCenter.plist file & restart your computer.
Please post back the results.

The application HPIO trap monitor quit unexpectedly?/??

I just updated to Leopard and I repeatedly get the error message box that says "The application HPIO trap monitor quit unexpectedly" Then it gives me three choices..ignore which keeps it offf for a few minutes and then it pops back up, report, same thing and relaunch..it immediately comes back. Does anyone know what the HPIO trap monitor is and what I can do to stop this super annoying box from popping up ? btw Happy New Year

It's the startup item associated with an HP printer—HP input/output trap monitor. Your best bet is to reinstall the latest HP software available for your printer. I'm running an HP PSC 1510 AIO and the trap monitor daemon isn't crashing. Downloads at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=4 28800&os=219&lang=en&

The application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly

This message pops up immediately when attempting to launch FCP (version 5.0.1)
I have trashed preferences, ran disk utility. No dice!
Any ideas.
The only thing I had done recently (since last running FCP) was downloaded QT Pro. I know it shouldn't have needed to download QT Pro, but I did, since I needed the application. With that stated, any help from you gurus out there would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, how do I also update to FCP 5.0.4?
Thanx again!!

QT Pro was installed as part of the FCP5 package.
Update to 5.0.4 and remember to repair permissions BEFORE and AFTER you run the updater.
If that doesn't help, try running FCP Rescue (google it, it's free)
Use it to TRASH your preferences.
good luck.

The Application apple works 6 quit unexpectedly.

I try to open my applictation from the hard drive. No luck. I get this
I can either click reopen (which won't let me do that it just gives me the same window) Close or Report.
So I reupload software into hard drive after deleting the original one. No dice. I try opening it from the CD and no dice.
What's writer to do????

The problems you are having are most likely due to corrupt preferences. Each time AppleWorks crashes there is more corruption. I know I give this response very frequently (so do others), but it's because it is the most common cause of problems with AppleWorks. Deleting & reinstalling (not "upload") does not affect the preference files. These files are created by AppleWorks for each user & must be deleted manually. The next time you launch AppleWorks new, clean preference files will be created. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more information.

The application HP device monitor quit unexpectedly window keeps popping up

Help
I installed driver from HP for my version 10.5.8 and I now get the above message popping up every 5 seconds and I cannot get the printer to work. How can I remove this message and get printer to work wirelessly? I have removed all the files (HP) I can find and restarted comupter but message keeps coming up.
I am very frustrated.

This can depend on whether your iMac running Leopard 10.5.8 is an older PPC (G4 or G5) iMac or a post-2006 Intel based iMac.
They would need different printer drivers - check with HP that you have the right one.

The application Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly.

Dear Group
I have been receiving this error when trying to run FCE today. I have spent all day trying to run the app but to no avail.
I have completed an install after completing a complete uninstall as per the instructions on this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38198?viewlocale=en_US
I have also downloaded the Preference Manager 2.1.4 to remove all my preferences and also deleted them manually.
The splash screen always gets to "loading video effects' and then issues the error with associated report. The report makes no sense to me.
I'm not sure what else to try now and it's driving me crazy.
Please help if you can.
Thanks
Craig.

Thanks Tom.
Yes it's been working fine for a year on my iMac with the update 4.0.1. The only thing I can think of is that I installed the Boinx Fotomagico upgrade for Toast users this morning. I have since uninstalled this and still have the same problem with FCE.

"ubd" Has Quit Unexpectedly

Hello,
Has anyone gotten the error message "ubd has quit unexpectedly"? This all the sudden started happening to me with a vengence. The error window would pop up, I would send a report to Apple, then the error would appear again within seconds. It was a repeating loop that prevented me from getting any work done, because this was a prioroty alert that would not allow the user to do anything else until it was acknowledged.
So, I rebooted into the Recovery Mode and reinstalled Mac OS 10.8.3. Unfortunately, I had the same issue after a fresh reinstallation was done. My next step was to track down...
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Ubiquity.framework/Versions/A/Support/ubd
...and delete it. I have been able to function normally afterward, but I do need to find out what the problem was, as well as reinstall this item. From what I understand, this is a key component in backgraound connections with iCloud. Anyone have any further information on this?
BTW, this all started happening right after an update of Thunderbolt firmware and subsequent restart.

Deleting system components is never the solution to any problem. Start by restoring whatever you deleted from a backup.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

The application ''nautilus'' has quit unexpectedly.

When i start gnome i get this message:
The application ''nautilus'' has quit unexpectedly. You can inform the dvelopers of what happened to help them fix it. Or you can restart the application right now
restarting doesnt help.
This stops all the menus other than actions from working. I've had it working before on my system but recently reinstalled everything so maybe i've just forgotten soemthing obvious? (I am rather new too all this).
I really like arch and pacman so i'd like to get this working. All the other desktops are ok but i like my gnome so and ideas would be great, i post up any files if they would help.
thanks in advance,
david

Running nautilus from a terminal gives the output
(nautilus:4696): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Cannot load module `/opt/gnome/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so' (libfam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
This suggest a lack of gnome-vfs or fam. For me it was fam
pacman -S fam
Now nautilus runs as expected..

The Application has quit unexpectely

While I was trying to play a game on my Macbook before the game even starts I get 'The application has quit unexpectely' error.
My Macbook is just 15 days old and that game previously ran perfectly fine on my Macbook.
Is there anything I can try to make it work?
I know I can upgrade my RAM but I don't have the money quite yet, so is there anything I can do besides upgrade my RAM to make my game run?
Thanks so much,
N/A =)

1. When you updated to 10.4.8, which version did you come from?
2. Did you update using the Combo update, which would include all previous updates? If you used the incremental update, you may have skipped a version. It would not hurt to re-install the Combo update and make certain you use the Intel file.
3. Repair permissions by going to:
Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.app
Open the app, select your Hard Drive, make sure the First Aid tab is selected, and click the Repair Permissions button.
4. Click on the Apple Menu > About this Mac and make sure all of your RAM is present.
5. Click on the Apple Menu > Force Quit to see what apps may be running.

TS3147 After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"

After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple," This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

Solved problem with original Canon software. When I downloaded Canon software upgraded for OS X 10.8, I got all by Navigator Ex. Noticed that on Canon's site, the upgraded version is 3.1; my app was 2.1. Upgraded to 3.1 for Nav. Ex, and it works.
You should still use Image Capture IMHO. If it was my gear, that's what I would do. No need to worry about software upgrades.
