Typing Closes Programs - Help!

No idea what the **** is wrong with my MBP.
It only started this issue today. Opened firefox and when i tried to type something in, it caused the program to crash. i thought it was an issue with firefox but the same happens with open.office and other programs. when i alt-tab to change program, it seems to force finder to crash as well.
im a bit stumped. im using my girlfriends pc, with the 'i thought macs were better' smug look in her eye...

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

    Exactly the same problem here. As far as I can see this problem has been around since Match was first released with no action from Apple to rectify it.

    Help.

    Then the next step would be to restore your phone.  My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

  • Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

    I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
    It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop. 
    I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode. 
    Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
    all other Office programs work seamlessly. 
    I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug. 
    I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem. 

    This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
    A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
    https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
    And 193K results on Bing:

    Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
    stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
    Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them. 
    Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
    they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
    Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine.

  • Everytime something opens in a second window, Fiefox locks up and stops resonding, I then have to "close program" and start over.

    When ever I click on something that opens in a second window, both windows stop responding, I then have to "close program" and restart Firefox. This happens multiple times daily.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holidng the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox shortcut. Or in the Help menu, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.

  • Is there a remote app that will let me open and close programs on my iMac

    Hi There,
    I know that I can use the Apple Inc "Remote App" to control my iTunes on my iMac - and I really like it for when I am not right at my computer, but I have to have iTunes open on my iMac before I can use it which is a bit of a pain to have to think "Am I going to use iTunes today?" or to run off to my office at the other end of my house when I decide I want music through my speakers and so my question is thus.
    Is there a remote app that I can download for iPhone or even iPad lets you open and close programs on your iMac when you are not actually sitting at it. So say I want to open iTunes on my iMac i would do the following
    1: Open the remote app on my device (either iPhone or iPad)
    2: See a representation of iMac screen on that device (cut down for iPhone)
    3: Chose the program I want (iTunes in this case) and it will open on my iMac allowing me to begin using the program remotely on my remote device.
    I am not talking about remote desktop or anything here (I don't want to do complicated things on it) just be able to open programs like iTunes so I can have the music play through my home speaker system without having to have all of my programs already running on my mac incase I decide to use them
