Mooching... in your house
my os x is starting to play up in a few ways, the most annoying of which is when applications crash...

e.g. iTunes just crashed on me ( but to be fair, i did drag a song to a playlist :rolleyes: - this is how its become, always stupid stuff) so ok, **** happens...

but... the dock icon is still showing as active, there is no process running for it in Activity Monitor and when i right click on the dock icon the option is there to force quit but alas, it doesn't.

this happens to me with a few apps and i end up restarting which is really crap... this is pretty much a fresh install too as similar instabilities were arising before.

I think it is highly likely that some software that i have on here is the root of the issue, although which piece of software? god knows...

anyone else experienced something like this?
 
hmmmmmmmmmm

you know what i actually thing i just discovered the problem... by macbooks spends most of its life plugged into an external monitor, external hdds etc...

I wanted to unplug it all as i'm off our in a bit, and as usual i ejected the HDDs (one for storage, another for time machine) and upon ejecting the time machine one, it all frozed... waited a bit... nothing happened so i unplugged the firewire cable and as soon as i did itunes and lightroom (which were currently in the nackered state as above, unquittable) just shut down straight away...

I think this problem is related to the ext HDD... any thoughts?
