MacBook Air :: Slow Quitting Of Applications?
Dec 16, 2010
I have a 13" macbook air ultimate and often when quitting apps it seems the system stalls or hangs for a while (not long, but noticeable. imagine counting 3 seconds after pressing Command+Q or the quit button before the window finally disappears). It is starting to get to the point where it is frustrating and just plain irritating.
Occasionally after issuing the quit command, the spinning beachball appears which I have NEVER, EVER seen on my macbook air for any other task I have done on it. (albeit I am a fairly lightweight user) Makes me wonder what is so taxing about quitting an app on my macbook air which doesn't flinch when others are editing photos in photoshop on it.
This is also, my first mac and so am not completely sure what is the norm for OS X behaviours.

I bought Coversutra on Thursday. Started using it on Friday. And it's quit on me twice. And, I didn't do anything to cause it too quit. Has this happened to anyone else?

I've been trying for a few days now to get iDVD to save a disk image to my computer hard drive (since my Superdrive isn't here yet), but every time it'll crash at some random part of the encoding. The last time I tried it crashed within a few seconds, but last time it had encoded one of the three videos in my project before it crashed. It just "unexpectedly quits".

this is my first time posting and I hope someone can help me. Last night my machine routinely installed new software and now tonight when I have tried to use some applications and also one of my games which I have been using regularly for about a year now I have got the following messages This application quit unexpectedly and the other said Assertion failed: is Loaded. I am wondering whether it is anything to do with the software update installed last night. I know this happened to me once before and it was something to do with the update and I was told to download something else which cancelled out what was previously installed and everything started working perfectly again.Â

Random applications like Steam, Safari, or even games I've bought close unexpectedly at different times. Safari will close if I try to watch videos occasionally; Steam will close if I try to click on random games; and some games won't even launch, it will still say they "quit" unexpectedly.

I purchased an imac g5 on ebay about 2 months ago. She said it's an older computer that is in good working condition except it may need restarted a few times every now and then. Everything worked fine for the first few weeks.. but now when I try to power it up it makes a loud crackling noise and freezes. After about 5 or 6 times of restarting it I can finally get it to start up correctly. But then my applications quit unexpectedly all the time.. especially safari.. and illustrator and indesign a lot too. I ran the extended hardware test and it fails on the memory.

Where are the up dates for Leopard? Why Does my brand new Mac Pro crash daily? Why does Apple release software that is not stable? How do I fix this problem of leopard constantly crashing after I force quit an application? I'm losing $1000's because of this stupid faulty system. Who's up for a class action lawsuit? This is not fair to consumers who spend good hard earned money on a new computer only to get a faulty Operating system that runs worse than windows. Screw you steve jobbs. This needs to get taken care of now and Apple doesn't offer any outlets. This seems like a planned faulty release and Apple needs to fix it or give us our money back. I need at least 2000 people to follow in a class action law suit.

My Office 2008 apps (Word / Excel) take forever to quit. When I quit the app, the documents are closed quickly, but then the app stays around for a minute or so, unresponsive, enough to cancel a logout. If I quit the app and wait long enough, it finally quits.

Safari quitting just randomly, this has happened me this past 2/3 days, only I have no clue what it means, how to fix it. I've read about clam xav and flashback removal tool, but I am not sure if I am even doing the right thing?

I'm a new Mac user (my MacBook Air bought on April, 17th). I was wondering, is there a way of quitting an app by pressing on the red button only, without pressing on the app name on the menu bar and and then on "Quit X"?

Everytime I click on Safari the only thing that pops up is the report box stating that safari had quit unexpectedly. I've tried restarting it many times and still nothing. I've also made sure there arent any updates available, since everything is up to date.

Safari has been quitting unexpectedly every 30-45 minutes sighting a .NationalBiologicalCorp.png plug-in as the problem. It's been doing this for about a day and a half, and I've ran all the flashback trojan checks and it comes up with nothing.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8. I was just using skype an hour ago but now it keeps quitting unexpectedly. My internet hung so I forced shut it down, restarted in Safe Mode, exited it and started it on the normal mode. I opened skype in safe mode and it was fine! but after that, when i exited safe mode, the error message that skype is quitting unexpectedly keeps showing up! ive tried everything - deleted the files in the skype folder, reinstalled skype but nothing works! I have an anti-virus installed on my mac so I've scanned skype and nothing seems to be infected really desperate now because I use Skype on a daily basis.Â

After quitting iphoto, my computer jams and a blank blue screen appears. I have to hold down the power button to shut it down and then start up again. Everything appears normal after that.

Working on a final draft and the program stopped responding, it's been about an hour, will it ever start responding again? Do I have to quit the program and lose everything or is there a way of saving this?

Recently, my Safari began shutting down and displaying the following error message: "Safari quit unexpectedly while using the .WindowsWallpaperChanger.tmp plug-in."Â It seems to happen when I'm streaming Pandora or Netflix. It happens after about 15 minutes. The "change picture" setting in the system preferences is unchecked. The tmp file is not found on my computer (MacBook Pro).
