Why is my Mavericks MBR crashing when screensharing?

If I'm on a call, screensharing, I get logged out of Mavericks seemingly randomly. Usually takes a couple of minutes to happen
Have read lots about problems with Virtual machines (which I use), and Skype and GoToMeeting, but various combinations are all causing the problem.
I've just installed Parallels 9 (latest update I assume, as it tells be I have the latest version when I check), and it contains a Win 7 VM. I made sure I had it running when I was screen sharing via GoToMeeting, but I still experienced the randon Log Out crash on my 2013 MBPRetina running latest version of Mavericks.
Previously I was working with Virtual Box and experiencing the same problem which screensharing on Skype or GoToMeeting.
I think Mavericks itself is to blame. It doesn't seem to matter which combos I use - I still get the crashes. Wish I had never "upgraded" to it, as I had no issues at all on Mountain Lion.
Never was a new OS version more aptly named.
I am a relatively new Mac convert (last year), and was quite happy until I upgraded to Mavericks.
Not particularly technical either.
Is there any consensus on where this problem lies.

You can look at the console (in your applications/utilities folder) for system messages when the problem occurs.  That often provides hints as to what happened.  Most likely the winder server crashed and it could be graphics driver related to Mavericks.  If that is the case, then you may not see any improvement until a later version of Mavericks is released.
Lots of very smart people here so post what you see in the console during the problem.  If you post all your console messages then no one will read it (it will contain tons of stuff).

  • Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend  file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
    Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

    Check for an update. Also if you're on 3G, try to doing it over WiFi to see if it works better because sometimes the network just can't handle it so the app crashes to protect itself.

  • Why does Adobe 9 standard crash when using the digital signature

    When using the digital signature in Adobe 9 standard it crashes, it has been repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes when putting in the digital signature and not understanding why. Also the digital signature was redone. Your thoughts on this would be most helpful.

    I had the same problems and was VERY frustrated.
    I finally solved my problem by uninstalling reader 9.1, air, acrobat.com and THEN after a restart, installing a lite version of reader 9.1 from this site:
    Good Luck!

    Why does my pre pro cc crash when rendering?  It has done this repeatedly

    There can be a LOT of reasons.  You'll need to start investigating and eliminating variables.

    Download and install the latest flash plugin only from the adobe flash download page.  I believe safari is disabling or removing older versions of the flash plugin.

  • Why is my 15" rMPB crashing when using 2 Thunderbolt Displays?

    Over the last few days my 2012 15" rMBP has been crashing periodically. 
    Today it continued to crash every few minutes, I tried resetting PRAM and SMC - didn't seem to help.  After reading somewhere (not here) people having issues with Multiple external Displays, I onlly plugged in one of my 2 Thunderbolt Displays and it seems to be stable.
    In my normal set up I use 2 - 27" TBD's and a 55" Sanyo TV via HDMI - it has worked great for over a year but now I am experiencing continued crashing when I have everything plugged in.
    Is this a known issue?
    I think this may be an issue with the last update - which was installed on my rMBP on the 9th or Jan (only 9 days ago)... that is about when I first started noticing an issue.
    Is there anything I can do?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Note that your MacBook Pro is using the dedicated GPU and you have got two GPUs. The dedicated GPU generates more heat, and even more if you are using the GPU to display image in three displays (including your built-in display). I would not be worried if fans are working correctly

  • Why does LabView 7.1 crash when using "Get Channel Info" vi ?

    Hello,
    I have written a program to get channel information for all my virtual channels. It worked fine in Labview 6i but when we upgraded to 7.1, it crashes with "Labview has generated errors and will be closed by WIndows". We have a SCXI-1001 with 6 SCXI 1102 modules, 2 SCXI 1102B modules, 1 SCXI-1102C module, and one SCXI-1140 module. Debugging reveals that the program crashes when the 1102C module channels are reached. I have attached the code I am currently using. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Neil

    Hello,
    I have two questions for you please:
    1. You mentioned early that debugging revealed that the problem was being originated on the SCXI-1102C module. Can you please try taking this module out and test your program again? Also try testing only one module and see if it works, then keep on adding more and see what happens.
    2. I run your program on LabVIEW 7.1 and it didn't give me any problems. In general, anything on LabVIEW 6.1 cab be recognized by LabVIEW 7.1, so maybe the order of installation you did is not correct. Did you first take the board out, uninstall the previous version of NI-DAQ you had, install LabVIEW 7.1, then NI-DAQ 7.3 and then plugged the board in?
    Please let me know about this.
    Thanks,
    LA

  • Why does my Maverick download crashes at 995mb

    Why does my Maverick download freeze at 995mb

    How are you connecting to your internet router, By Wifi or Ethernet cable?
    If WiFi get an Ethernet cable and try that. Any drop out in the WiFi signal will cause the download to stop. Could be if you are using WiFi your WiFi router can't handle the large file transfer.

  • Why did IMovie 9 start crashing when trying to import from camcorder

    I have Imovie 8.0.6 and a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder. I have been importing from this camera for a long time, with no problems but now, IMovie crashes whenever I push the import button. I checked and when nothing is connected, the internal camera comes up when I push the import button. I connect the Panasonic first & see it on the desktop & then open Imovie. ANy idea why it keeps crashing?

    Yes,  20 GB is very little - when you import you produce AIC  files which are much larger than the original clips.  Unless you can clear a lot more space (tens of GB) you need an external hard drive to put your iMovie media on.
    This is the  AVCHD file structure you should see from the Finder when you connect your camera like an external drive:
    First copy the clips you want to use from the STREAM folder to another folder on your hard disk.
    Next, you need to convert them from .mts to .mov format using the free program Media Converter.  You can also do batch conversions by dropping multiple .mts files onto its window.  You need to instal the Re-wrap AVCHD for Quicktime - uncompressed Audioplugin.  It is fast since it is not transcoding but simply changing the video wrapper.  The website is:
    http://media-converter.sourceforge.net/
    The resulting .mov clips will import into iMovie (this works for iMovie 9 - I'm assuming it will also work with iMovie 8.)
