I am on a desktop iMac, it is 3 years old. I keep the OS up to date as well as adobe. For the last 2 years, my computer crashes at will. I've turned off automatically opening adobe when I login, yet it still tries to open. I've started using google chrome almost exclusively, as things seemed worse with Safari, but things are worse now than ever. I've looked at my own sleep settings. I do have a new printer, which works beautifully, and perhaps coincidentally the crashes are now several times a day rather than 1-2 times a week. I did unmount and remount adobe once, things seemed better but this didn't last. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Troubleshooters will need to know the OS release you are using, the hardware specifications for your iMac, and the name and version number of the Adobe program being used. Once you provide that information, someone will move you to the appropriate forum.
The Using the Community forum is for help in using the Adobe Support Community forums, not for help with specific programs, installation issues, or account issues such as subscription questions or billing problems, or generalized questions about Creative Cloud services.
* Product questions should be posted in the associated product community.
* Installation questions should be posted in the Download & Install community.
* Account issues, including subscription questions or billing problems, should be posted in the Account, Payment, & Plan community.
* Questions about the Creative Cloud desktop app or general questions about apps in the Creative Cloud should be posted to the Creative Cloud Services community.

Adobe is a company, not an application. Which Adobe app do you have installed? For example: Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, et cetera.
In addition, it is not possible for an application to crash a computer. You might call Apple for support in why your Mac keeps crashing. It could be failing hardware, for instance.

thanks Jane, I've fixed it for now. Time to close this thread.
You're welcome, Susan, and I'm glad it's sorted for you. Can you tell us how you fixed it? The way to close a thread is for you to mark one or more answers "Correct".

Thanks for letting us know, Susan, as it will help others who search. If Adobe Acrobat Reader ("Adobe" is a company, not an application) continues to open when you boot up your computer, it may be in your startup files and can be removed. Check in Apple menu >
