My menu bar is keep on crashing and respawning itself after 8sec then crash again in a loop. Log is showing SystemUIServer crashed and restart itself after 8 sec then crash again...
I have the same problem in this thread on the Apple support website: [URL] The only solution suggested was to reinstall the os. "I'd be using firefox with no problems. I'd go to load a page, and firefox would get stuck trying to resolve a host name (implying DNS wasn't working, at best). I'd click on the airport menu item, but the menu wouldn't open. I'd move the mouse cursor off the menu bar. When I move the mouse cursor back over the menu bar, I'd see the beachball. Ill finder windows get the beachball. Killing the finder did nothing; wouldn't fully die or restart. I'd have to hard-reset the machine to recover."
I am begining to regert upgrading to Lion. Safari is much slower. iMac crashes almost everyday. Never saw these issues with Leopard. I keep on getting the following message from iTunes, and if I don't quit it or force-quit it, I will have a black screen telling me I have to restart. Here is the message:
We couldn't complete your itunes store request: an unknown error occured (-50).
Whenever I try to view cylindrical panoramas with Quicktime (7) for some reason it crashes... I have downloaded the latest of Quicktime 7 for my O.S. at [URL] but the problem remains...
I've had my iMac since January 2011 and it has never had a problem, i've got the Apple care thing and tried ringing them but their offices are closed. Desperately need this fixed as i'm at uni and have deadlines in less than two weeks! Basically, my iMac started playing up yesterday, crashing and freezing, I thought nothing of it and reset it once or twice and it all seemed fine.Today I switched it on and it was fine until it crashed after a few minutes whilst using Safari.When I say crashed I mean the dock at the bottom wouldn't allow me to open any programmes and the top Apple menu won't allow me to click on anything IE Safari, File, View etc.I've restarted and shut down my computer many times, with difficulty - as stated I can't click on the Apple logo to switch it off. Based on google searches i've tried doing permission verify through disk utilities and repair disk permissions.I'm currently on the Mac and it's taken me 6 hours to get to this forum, register, and type this! Signs that it's going to crash or has crashed are the mouse really lagging, not being able to use the magic scroll, unresponsive buttons, unresponsive dock, and menu. Only things that will work when it crashes are the volume keys on my wireless keyboard, multi window button and brightness etc.

I have an imac 10.5.6 and since this morning finder keeps crashing and wont allow me to do anything. I was wondering if there is a way for me to backup my data and just restore the whole thing.
Each time I try to open an existing Illustrator file it quits unexpectedly. I can however open a new document but for some reason it crashes when I open an existing file.

The computer freezes or crashes fairly regularly - sometimes within minutes of being started. I have wiped the hard disk several times and done a clean reinstall of Lion. The computer still crashes - again within minutes of the Finder launching.However, it behaves itself when I boot it into Windows, or if I do a Safe Boot. This is starting to drive me nuts.Here's the latest kernel panic
I have owned my iMac for about 9 months, its my first apple pc. I have already had to start from scratch from losing all my files a few months ago, and just recently I lost all the data on my Time Capsule.How can from the Problem report for Mac Osx, can I decipher what is wrong with my system. I suppose it may help to include that it crashes on syncs, import and exports, sometimes when I open facetime/google chrome. And any other random time.
Just in the past 2 days, Safari will randomly crash with an error:
" Safari quit unexpectedly while using the .GameTurboBooster.so plug-in
I followed Googled advice to delete the plug-in by: Launching Safari; Selecting "Installed Plug-in." I did not see the plug-in in the error message. Then I checked /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Again, the errored plug- in was not listed.So, I ran a software update. Safari still crashed.I checked under Finder for all combinations of this plug-in.on how to delete this phantom plug
Since 2 weeks, after years of 0 problems, my iMac is continuously freezing or crashing when I use Apple software (Mail, Software Update, Garageband).
I've installed Kaspersky and even reinstalled Mac OS Lion, same problem. It goes away temportarily when I restart cleaning the PRAM. or turning off the extensions.
We are using a Imac 27" mid 2010, Mac OS Lion. When an email arrives while working in Quark or Photoshop (and other programs) we leave the program and go to mail to read it. On returning to either Quark or Photoshop etc the program has stopped responding requiring a force quit. Mail also seems to be running slower than usual.
I tried everything but no luck, I use utility to correct permissions but that did not work. I think the one problem is I have too many photos on computer is there anyway to do it by key command?
I bought a second hand iMac, formatted the HD and installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Fixed disk permission, did all the software upgrades, fixed once more permission and verified startup disk... and everything seemed to work fine.
After using it for an hour I've started noticing strange crashes:Â
-When I use Software Update and I click Show Details, the app crashes every time... but if i click the Install button it works fine.
-The computer is connected to the internet but Safari is not showing anything. It stays white. I've installed Firefox and it works fine. Safari not loading anything.
-App Store is crashing upon launch, every timeÂ
Checked the hardware using the Apple disk and it's all in order. Re-fixed Disk Permissions. Re-verified startup disk.Â
I have an IMac with Mac os X 10.7.3, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB of memory, this should be plenty to run Photoshop with no problems , however Photoshop keep crashing and being really slow.
I have three user/log in Accounts on my 2006 iMac. Running osx 10.4.11. two accounts work fine.One account, after logging into it, the dock and menu bar is missing. My wall paper appears as normal. my pointer just spins. the only way I can exit is to turn off switch.I did try repairing disk permissions from another account. no effect.
I decided not to keep the Trend Micro Smart Surfing program after my subsription expired. Well I deleted by dragging it into the trash can. It's been over two months and every time I start my iMac it pops up on my menu bar and tells me about my expiration of service.I emptied my trash can, but no luck. I have tried reinstalling the program thinking there may be some uninstaller program I needed to use, but it tells me I have to delete the current version first. I have searched in spotlight and in finder, but no trend micro or smart surfing shows up. I don't know what to do anymore, but it is a pain to have to deal with that program after I deleted it.
I cant import any photos or videos without iphoto crashing. I have an Ipad2 and iphone4 with a brand new imac running Lion. Since I bought my imac it has always had problems with iphoto. I have removed iphoto and reinstalled a fresh copy of it via the CD that came with my imac. Also, I have no plugins installed so no divx or anything like that.

I have had my 27" Imac for about 2 years now and I am starting to have problems with it running slow. Iphoto and itunes and sometimes safari stop responding and then crash, I then get a problem report which has pages of information, what can I do? do I need to reload the OS?
I am a Photographer and so I have many RAW files on my Mac. I use Aperture to edit, but in the last few days when I am editing a picture (zoomed in, skin smoothing or retouching) App will just close, the only warning being the coloured spinning ball. Last night my whole computer just switched off whilst I was in the middle of editing, and this morning the screen went dark and an instruction came up to turn off the computer by holding the power button, and restart.
I've checked my RAM and there seems to be plenty. It was just an issue exclusively to Aperture, but now I seem to be experiencing the spinning coloured ball when trying to use Safari. So there is something missing. I was wondering if it just may be Aperture, in which case I was going to export all the projects to the desktop and then uninstall and reinstall the software.
I wonder if anyone can help me. I am not very technobod and there are progressively awful problems on my Mac until it is now so slow.I need to fix it before it dies altogether, or I throw it out of the window.....Problems:- Thin black lines randomly appearing across the windows. Ghosting of windows, they leave another version when moved. Sometimes windows just white out in areas with scribbly lines like pretend text. Sometimes windows have large bare patches all of a sudden or go see through Programs keep just quitting for no reason. The whole computer just freezes every now and then. Sometimes it waits and returns, occasionally it crashes completely. It is really painfully slow and can take me considerable minutes to open a new window or get something else up on screen. The tool bar sometimes goes all skeletal with no background. Loads more silly things like this... all random.Â
It is driving me absolutely potty. It's only used by me doing emails, filing pics, designing jam labels, letters, going on forums and things. I don't give it loads to manage unless I'm doing something spectacularly stupid. This computer ought to be big enough to run a design studio..I have tried mackeeper, found it gave more problems than it solved, and uninstalled that, I've tried Clean my mac and only cleaned some, I left the universal binaries and the Caches alone. I then tried Onyx and fixed some listings (I kept the report) and cleaned up the caches in that, then restarted. It is now even slower than before I started fixing it, and all of the problems are still here. I've got time machine for back up. What can be going wrong?
