Why is Logic crashing upon quitting (have to Force Quit)?

Logic is crashing whenever I quit. Logic prompts me to save the session like normal and then "flashes" before freezing and necessitating me to Force Quit. This just started happening a few weeks ago.
Thanks

Things to check...
You are using the latest version of drivers/software for your Maschine, Apogee, ADVC-55 and SL MkII devices
Failing that, Shut down your Mac, unplug all external devices and start up Mac. Test LPX using internal Audio and Musical Typing Keyboard with new project....
If that works normally then...
Delete both Logic's prefs and the CS prefs as detailed here...
Quit Logic Pro
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Note:If you cannot find either of these files you did not follow all the steps exactly as described!
Now...
Plug in each of your external devices, one at a time.. restarting your Mac each time to ensure which, if any device, is the source of the problem...
Additional: You may have to install and set up your SL MkII again after deleting the CS (Control Surface) prefs
If that doesn't help then as a troubleshooting step....
Please download Etrecheck from here...
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
..and then launch Logic Pro (But don't load up a project)
Now run Etrecheck and post up the full report here....
Thanks...

Whenever i try to close a pages document the software crashes and I have to force quit and restart. what can i do?

Every time I close a document on Pages the software crashes and I have to force quit. Then I restart the program and all the docs that were up at the time of the crash reappear. I haven't lost any work yet but it's super annoying to have to restart everytime I try to close a doc. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Do you have Pages '09?
Have you tried that? If so what happens?

MAIL 5.2 DOESN'T QUIT, HAVE TO FORCE-QUIT EVERYTIME

it didn't use to happen before, but after some update or something, nowadays, whenever I close the mail window, and quit it, the window closes but the application doesn't quit.
I have to force-quit it everytime.
I have tried many things to solve it myself, but they didn't work.
So, I am in need of some guidance on how to solve this problem

It's not quitting because it's still closing the connections with your IMAP server(s).
I believe this is a bug as it is widely reported and I've had it myself, too. I'm not sure what the solution is, other than wait for Mountain Lion and Mail 6.0.
As a workaround, try turning off the Wifi on the menubar, and see if that allows Mail to quit, then turn the Wifi back on.

Hi, I am having trouble MacBook Air crashing since Yosemite upgrade. I ran an Etresoft check but I don't know what it means... my system runs slowly and crashes. I have to force shutdown. Sometimes screen is black for a split second b/w webmail pages

Hello,
I am having trouble with my MacBook Air 13 inch June 2012 MacBook Air5, 2 4GB RAM details below in Etresoft report. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and am having system trouble. My computer crashes and I have to force quit to restart. When using webmail there is a black screen for a split second between pages. This did not happen before. I am worried that it is not running properly and perhaps I need to revert to the previous operating system. I only have a MacBook Air and no need to share images between a tablet or phone so I did not need the new photo sharing software of Yosemite. I wonder if I don't have enough RAM to run it? I did not run time machine before I made the upgrade as I did not realise the significance of an upgrade as not very Mac literate. Any advice on whether my system is in danger... most appreciated! I am writing a book and making a back up but this machine is my lifeline and my work is conducted through it. It ran perfectly before... the Yosemite upgrade has perhaps highlighted some problems and it has unnerved me!
Thanks ever so much for your advice!
Lillibet

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
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 and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
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 other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

Firefox/Safari were constantly crashing- now have to force-quit all other apps on MBP..

I really hope someone can help me. I've been having an issue with apps on my MBP crashing for like 9 months and it's getting worse and I'm losing my mind! It started with Firefox. Everything will be going along fine, and then suddenly I'll try to scroll down on a web page or click a link or really do anything and there will be a rainbow scrolly wheel delay that can last anywhere from 5-20 seconds. I'll tolerate it for a little while, but eventually I can't take it anymore and try to shut down Firefox, which I can only do with a force quit. Sometimes the delay is accompanied by a crazy increase in CPU which triggers the fans, but sometimes it's not. It usually happens when I have multiple tabs open. A while back I tried removing all my Firefox add-ons and plug-ins and whatnots (including Flash and Java), to no avail. So I broke down and started using Safari...and the same thing happened. Went back to FF and keep upgrading to the newest versions, but the problem hasn't gone away.
Then, a couple of months ago, a few of my other "big" apps (i.e. iTunes and Adobe Reader) started experiencing similar delay issues. No scrolly wheel appears on these, but everything just takes forever and the only way to close these apps is to force quit. Over the past month or so, the issue has spread to my MS Office apps. For these, the delay is largely contained to opening and closing new docs/presentations, but I have to force quit to close them too.
In February, I decided to move to Lion, but changed my mind when I read that people were still having issues with decreased speed and spotty internet connectivity. I was afraid to do anything that might make things worse.
My MBP is turning 5 this month. I wouldn't be entirely surprised to hear that she's just experiencing the effects of old-age (after all, 5 years is 2X longer than my old PC lasted), but I've been unemployed for well over 2 years and am not exactly itching to get a new computer right now if I don't have to. I did upgrade the hard drive about a year ago, but things were fine for the first few months after that. Maybe that wouldn't create problems right away, though. I don't know. Anyway, I'm running OS 10.6.8, Firefox 13, iTunes 10.6.1, Adobe Reader 10.1.3 and Office 2008.
I would be most grateful to anyone who can offer a potential home-repair solution (one which does not require mad IT skills), knows what the problem might be and/or how much it might cost to have it professionally diagnosed/repaired. Depending on what it could cost to diagnose/fix it, it might not even pay to bother.
Thank you!!!

Mark,
Have you checked the Fonts folder found in Home/Library/Fonts folder if you have any fonts in there, try moving them to the trash but do not empty the bin.
Read Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X

This app is a goodie Font Finagler helps find & remove corrupt fonts.
Have you tried a test account so you can narrow done if this is isolated to your username account, or if it is system wide.

I keep getting told that i have run out of application memory and have to force quit applications. Not sure why this happens or what I do to fix it.

I keep getting told that I have no more application memory and have to force quit applications. Why does this happen and how do I fix it? This issue has only started since I started using Mavericks 10.9.2.

Why does my iphoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of the times when I try to exit it to the point where I have to "force quit" it and how do I fix the problem that causes it?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
does this only happen when you try to quit iPhoto?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

no, if iTunes can't find its drive/folder, it defaults to creating one within your Home directory's Music folder.
If anyone knows a way I send a product suggestions to apple please let me know, as I have a few that would like to suggest.
under the iTunes menu choose the Feedback menuItem.

TS3276 hi after updating to Mountain Lion, it becomes difficult to quit Mail, always have to Force Quit. And while Mail is on standby, the fan keeps on running full power, the laptop is hot. Why is this happening?

hi after updating to Mountain Lion, it becomes difficult to quit Mail, always have to Force Quit. And while Mail is on standby, the fan keeps on running full power, the laptop is hot. Why is this happening?

If your computer was hot it wasn't asleep - it either didn't go to sleep or it work up after you put it to sleep. I've seen both things happen. First, read this article and follow the instructions.
1) For the next few days/weeks pay attention to the blinking light on the front of your computer when you close the lid. Don't put the computer into your backpack/case until it begins to blink. Wait a minute or so after it starts to blink to make sure it doesn't stop blinking - the signal it woke back up.
2) having followed the above instructions, if you take the computer out and it is hot again or if you take it out and discover it has powered down (you'll know this because when it starts up the battery will be drained and you'll see a progress bar over a ghostly display that will eventually become normal) immediately start the Console program and perform a search on 'sleep' and then 'wake'. This should bring up all the recent log files about sleep state changes (going to sleep and waking up). You should see one for when you put the computer to sleep and put it away and the next one should be just after you got it out. You'll find at least one though that shouldn't be there. That will tell you when the computer work up (when it shouldn't have) and might give a clue as to why.
One of the whys could be a magnet that is making the computer think the lid has been opened.

Why do I have to Force Quit iTunes so often?

On my old G3 iBook I remember I had to Force Quit iTunes (can't remember which ancient version that was) sometimes when it 'froze' after I clicked a new track title on a CD that was in the Drive.
In iTunes 6, this never ever ever ever ever ever happened. Never. Not once. Ever. I silently congratulated Apple on eliminating that annoying particular little glitch.
Now I've recently downloaded iTunes 7 - it's happening again !! Several times when I click to play a different track on a CD in the drive, I get "iTunes (not responding)" and I have to Force Quit. This is REALLY REALLY annoying. Why has this old fault returned?
(btw I just saw the thread below mine, about iTunes needing Force Quit after playing 2 tracks on a CD? This is NOT the same fault. iTunes will happily PLAY a whole CD without complaining - the problem occurs after I double-click to play a different track while another one is still playing.)

FWIW, I have had a similar problem, where iTunes froze on random songs at two seconds into the song. I would have to force quit, then restart. This occurred when I put in a CD to play from the beginning, while I did other things. I have not witnessed your circumstances when clicking a new track to play. I do not do this often, except after I restarted iTunes to continue the CD.
I just deleted the com.apple.itunes.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences and so far, so good.

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared. Is there anything available to fix this?

I answered the same question in a similar post. It's all to do with the wireless sync.
I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
Open task manager
Select the 'Processes' tab.
Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
Select 'iTunesHelper.exe' then click on 'end process'
Hope this helps.

Every time I chose an Email address at a location, while in Firefox, I am inundated with hundreds of tabs which makes me have to force quit........why?

when I chose an email address directly, while using firefox browser, it triggers an overflow of tabs, numbering in the hundreds. It makes me have to force quit firefox and I lose whatever I may be doing online. this is consistent for some months and I find it frustrating. I cannot use any other application on my computer until I force quit Firefox, as it takes precedent over the other apps. what might be the cause? thank you in advance for any help.

I'm not sure what you mean by choosing the email address directly. Are you clicking a link to create a new message? You might need to change your handler for email addresses here:
Firefox > Preferences > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and try changing the option in the right column to another mail program. If your mail program or webmail site is not listed and you would like to add it, please indicate which one you want to add.

Why do I have to force quit Garageband?

When I start a new song or if I 'save changes' to an old one, the program 'unexpectedly quits'.... but I have to 'force quit' Garageband before it will start again. I'm recording ambient sound with an external mike but I'd like to be able to use it to arrange songs if I could. Am I asking too much of it? I mean, it's supposed to at least be able to do a bit of straight recording isn't it? It's got a gig of sdram. Thanx in advance

Have you tried unchecking the "automatically check for newly published albums" checkbox in prefs / web. Do this for each online account. This worked for me. The source to this solution was on Flickr.

Why do I have to Force Quit applications?

Pages 09, safari and iCal won't shut down. I have to force quit the application every time. I have reinstalled OS X (tiger that came with the iMac G5) and upgraded it through Software update. It is very annoying. I have also used disk utility and vertified the HD, which seems to be fine. Also ran OnyX. Also tells me everything's fine. Anyone know what might be causing this behaviour? Thank you.

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode, (do those APPs Quit OK?)...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot and not in Safe Mode, then it is likely some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also see what is in System Preferences>Other Row.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
