Apps shutting down when four or more open

Sounds like the old days. Moved from an old G4 to a new Mac Pro. Installed my apps from the old system into the new from the install disks. Only moved files from the old system. Noticed today that my apps will not open when there is more than four open. Continue to close when I try to open them. This is with all apps not just Adobe.
Any thoughts?
2 gb of memory with 200gb available.

I personally would wipe the hard drive and start over. If you have a memory test tool then I would use that to make sure the memory is good. Here is my pref way to install applications:
1) Wipe the hard drive
2) Install EVERY application via installer or DVD/CD disk (if you have applications that don't have installers or a DVD/CD disk then that might be your problem)
3) Make sure you have the latest version of all the applications you are installing and do all updates before running
4) The only information you want to bring from your old mac is personal files/media etc. But don't port over applications from the old mac
5) Install and update the common mac apps and run them. Make sure you don't receive errors. Then start slowly installing lesser known apps. If one of the apps haven't updated in a couple of years I would be concerned about compatibility.
6) Restart your mac after updates and makes sure you pick up the latest updates.
7) Install apps in this order:
a. Apple applications
b. Adobe applications
c. More popular 3rd party applications
d. Less popular 3rd party applications
Again make sure that these applications are supported and you have the latest versions of them. I always am watching 3rd party applications to make sure of regular updates. If they don't update often then I would avoid them.
Hope this helps.

  • IPhone 8.3 music app shuts down when I try to open it

    Since updating to 8.3, both my iPhone 6+ and my iPad 3 will not play music from my playlists.  The music app shuts down and reverts to the home screen each time I try to play music.

    I went to Genius Bar in an attempt to resolve this issue.  They suggested putting my device into restore mode while connected to my computer and restoring the software.  This did NOT resolve the problem.  It now appears that it is only the "Recently Added" play list that shuts down the music app on both my iPhone and iPad.  If I play from any of my other playlists, the problem doesn't occur.

    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • Video app shuts down when I delete a video

    When I delete a video, the entire "Videos" app shuts down. When I re-open the app, the video is gone, but its a real pain.

    Hi there,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • I am having trouble with safari and most apps shutting down when I'm in the middle of stuff what do I need to do to resolve this?

    I am havering trouble with safari and apps shutting down on me all the time what can I do to resolve this problem. Thanks :-)

    Make sure you have enough free space on your iPad. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    Also try a reset. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • App shuts down when launching

    I have an Ipad and WHen trying to open an app such as Pinterest or Netflix, or Facebook, the app appears to start but shuts down and reverts to the homepage.

    Simple things first. Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Photoshop CS5 shuts down when I try to open a file or save something.

    I'm not sure what I have done, but I just used it a few days ago with no problems. I could open files from the file menu and save-as things. Now when I try to open a file from my documents folder it shuts down. What is the problem. I have tried to uninstall photoshop and reinstall with a few things that are now working (something about the color scheme had to be switched to windows 7 basic and I couldn't save-as things), but this one problem is still there.  Any help? I am super computer illiterate, so if you talk about third party plug-ins or things like that, I have no clue what that means.
    Thanks

  • Apps shutting down when I try to print

    Installed 10.4.11 about 2 weeks ago. All seemed to be fine. Suddenly, whenever I try to print, from any app (text edit, Word, Preview, etc), I get a few seconds of the spinning ball, and then the app crashes with a 'shut down unexpectedly' message.
    I've tried re-booting, fixing permissions, repairing the hard drive from the install disk, and re-installing 10.4.11 from the combo drive, all to no avail.
    I did have a copy of my 10.4.10 system backed up on an seperate drive, and when I boot from that, printing works fine...
    Any suggestions?

    Try Reset Printing System, a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility.

  • After IOS 8.3 update my music app shuts down everytime I try to open it!!!!!I

    i Just updated my iphone 6 to the new IOS 8.3 software and now everytime I try to open my music app it shuts down inmediately!!! It never happend before the IOS UPDATE

    The reset didn't work for me.
    I was able to start Music and then really quickly tap to get out of the playlist I was on, and then I was able to play music normally from a different playlist. I just removed the offending playlist from my phone and now I'm re-syncing to see if the issue persists.

  • Emoji Problem: Iphone 5s apps shut down when using emoji!! Any solutions?

    When I click an emoji that I want to use the app I am using immediately shuts down. I can reopen it but the emoji use will shut it down every time. How do I make it so I can use them again!?

    I had a customer with this issue and I tried to just close out of the texting app by double clicking the home button and closing the whole messaging application out. After that did not work I tried to do a complete reset (settings -> general -> reset -> erase all content and settings) to the phone and wiping it clean and even with it being wiped and nothing being on the phone the application still didnt work at all. Then I did a straight restore (different form of doing a reset on the phone done by holding the home button down and plugging the phone to the computer) . So I ordered a new phone for the customer and it came brand new in the box. When I turned it on and went and tested the emoji application it worked fine. After doing a back up and restore on the phone the emoji started doing the same thing when it came back on after restoring from a back up. I then did everything I did with the first phone on the NEW phone and with nothing on it tried to go to the emoji's and it AGAIN kept closing out. This is a software glitch of some sort and can ONLY be fixed by an update. I've been a phone tech for 2 years so I have a really good round about technical issues on phones and on androids and apple products. Most of the time an update always fixes the "little" (big to some people) issues.
    Hope this helps a little bit!

  • HP support assistance keeps shutting down when I try to open it.

    When I try to open HP Support Assistant I continurally get a message that it has stopped working and windows is trying to find the cause.   On some other programs the message says that internet explorer has stopped working etc.  I have done malware and virus scans and adwcleaner, but still unable to get certain programs as they keep stop working.

    I understand that the HP Support Assistant and other programs will not open.  You have checked for viruses and malware but it did not help.
    You can try this step as it will scan for corrupted files and try to repair them
    Go to the command prompt and run as administrator
    Type sfc /scannow and press enter
    Wait for it to complete.
    If this has not helped you can try  uninstalling  the HP support assistant and reinstalling it.

    You could also do a restore back to a known good time.  Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
    If the issue should still remain, I suggest doing a recovery back to factory.
    Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7)
    During the recovery there is an option to backup your personal data to prevent data loss. If you have not done one recently  I suggest you do one now.
