Why Is WoW Crashing So Much?

Hello Apple/Users,
I have this major problem while playing WoW on my MacBook Retina; I keep crashing! It is not like a regular crash when it shuts down, and you would get an error pop-up. No, it completely freezes, making me unavailable to do anything. The only thing I can do, is holding the Power button shutting down the computer manually. I have had this problem both while playing WoW and Minecraft.
Note: I am playing on Molten-Wows private server 4.0.6.
Specs:
MacBook Retina Display 15"
2,3GHz Intel Core i7
NVIDIA GeForce GT650M (the graphic card used while playing)
8GB RAM 1600 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.8.2
Things I have tried:
Deleting Cache, Logs, Erors folder in WoW
Deleting .plist files from Blizzard
Setting graphics down (actually they have been down at the whole time)
Installed gfxCardStatus to check if I really used the NVIDIA graphics card
Posting a thread on www.molten-wow.com, and www.wow-europe.com
Thank you in advance, I really hope someone can fix this problem for me.
PS - If you need any other information, please let me know, and if I posted this the wrong place, please tell me where to post it otherwise. I would be grateful.

If anyone is reading this, I might think It's a heat problem, due to that my keyboard and bottom is very hot. I installed SMC fan control, but honestly; I have no idea how to use it.
This is how it looks. Could anybody help me to set it up, so I could check if I still crash with other options.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion
I'm sorry to hear of your problems. However, I wonder if iTunes screwed up your computer? Perhaps there's another, core issue with your Hard Disk? Have you run any Hardware Diagnostics?

Tell me please why? Safari it so much memory!

Hello.
Tell me please why? Safari it so much memory!
I have opened only one page.
And problem with google search. Some time when I write text Safari is lags and crashes!
I had cleaned cookie and history!
Thank you!
OS X 10.8.4
Safari 6.0.5
Best regards!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Last night I downloaded the latest Word update. Today the first Word document crashed and I lost 45 minutes of work in spite of having saved the document numerous times. Why is Word crashing the day after a safety update? I have Office 2008 for Mac

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 problem in Safe Mode...
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, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Open Console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & next startup for clues.

My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare

My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare+. I bought my iPhone 6 plus 3 months ago in Singapore.

$129 US. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/ For local pricing call your nearest Apple store. If you live somewhere other than Singapore you'll have to send the phone to someone you trust in Singapore and have them take the phone in to have it repaired. iPhone's do not have an international warranty and can only be serviced in the country they were purchased.

Why is Firefox writing so much data all the time?

I am running Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 8. In my Task Manager I display the I/O Write Bytes of all processes. I have found that Firefox is ALWAYS the Process with the largest amount of write bytes after it has been running an hour or so even though there are dozens of other processes there. The only Web page is Google and all of my plugins are disabled.
Why is Firefox writing so much data all the time?

Firefox may be updating the phishing protection database or do maintenance with other files like places.sqlite. It should stop at some point if that has been done.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem.
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this

Why premiere CS% crashes opening project and in encore

I have 12gb ram- CPU-I-7, NVIDIA 5000 plus graphics card, asus 58P motherboard.
I have a 2 hour project on my time line. When I open the project, the system crashes and about 5 minutes later works fine. I now want to export the timeline to Encore to make a dvd menu. Encore imports(dynamic Link) the sequence and at the 50% mark, crashes.but does not want to open. I have no idea why systems are crashing. I have not rendered the sequence in premiere pro as I don't know if I need to when going to encore. Comments would be appreciated.

The symptoms you decribe, white screen, the beachball, the not-responding message and the media pending message all are indicative of a Windows problem. Probably you will encounter the same problem when for instance you have 5 large (2+ MB) .HTML files open in Dreamweaver and those files have been modified enternally and need to be reloaded, especially in split mode.
It boils down to the fact that when opening your project, PR needs to get all those files from disk, or at least the indexed and conformed files into memory, as well as the .PEK files and while it is waiting for that to happen, it shows the media pending message. Windows itself is usually in a hurry to show the not-responding message, while it is waiting to finish a requested task, even when it is responding, albeit slowly.
My guess is that you haven't tuned your system yet, see Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista... which also applies to Win7 and your disk setup may be lacking the necessary speed. After following the tuning steps, you can try to delete the media cache and then reopen your project. It will index and conform your clips again, so be a little bit patient for that process to finish.

Why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx? I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx? I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week. As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42). I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available. I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
15 minutes later:
I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out. I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed. I'm happy again.
