All apps freeze after os x update

After I updated to Mavericks all of my apps open, but freeze. I have to force quit all of them just to get them to close. does aanyone have any idea how to fix this?

Try a Safe Mode boot ...
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
Then see if apps freeze.

Z10 All Apps Freezed or not working at all

Music, email etc, all not doing anything, ive restarted the phone several times but nothing works, removed the battery but still nothing....please help

First, when you said all apps freeze, what do you mean, what actually happens?
I know you said you've done a reboot, but do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Finally, if you still see this freezing issue, Remove your Media Card from the device and leave it out, and do another reboot, same as above.

I successfully unlocked my iPhone 4S (AT&T, iOS 7.0.2) and many apps are missing. Went to app store and updated all apps. If I manually update a single app it will show up. Solution to get all apps back in place?

ITunes löscht alle Apps vom iPad 1 beim Update auf 5.0.1!!! Obwohl vorher mühselig die geforderten 30GB für das angebliche Backup auf den Notebook freigemacht, sind nach dem Update ALLE zusätzlichen Apps gelöscht! Wie bekomme ich meine Apps wieder???

Wie bekomme ich meine Apps wieder???

Für iTunes war alles in Ordnung, nicht mal ein Fehler wurde ausgegeben!
Mit meinem WLAN klappt die Verbindung seit dem Update nicht mehr. Löschen und neu verbinden hilft nichts.
Mobile Datenübertragung funktioniert ebensowenig. Wenn ein APN eingegeben wird, ist der gleich wieder gelöscht.

IPhone 4s with ios6 all apps crashing after opening

iPhone 4s with ios6 all apps crashing after opening. Yesterday my phone started to crash. Everytime i started whatsapp or others, it stars working at first than goes back main screen. Resetted the device by pushing home and lock buttons. Nothing happened. Tried to format and it's worked again. But i don't want to set my phone from beginning. When i restored from backups nothing happened. Only hard format fixed. what else can i do with this situation ?

@alperkilislioglu,
Try restoring it but set it up as a new iPhone this time. If that does not work then bring it to Apple.

Safari, Quicken Essentials, other apps freezing after installing Maveric

Okay, I installed OS X 10.9 when it first came out. Then started having issues with apps freezing, like Safari, Quicken Essentials and other apps.   I noticed this only after installing Maverick.   The only time the freeze would go away, would be after re-starting.    Then, it seemed the app would freeze again ONLY after I have been away from the computer for a while (maybe screen saver mode causes this issue?).   After not being able to figure it out, I un-installed Maverick and went back with TimeMachine and stayed away from Maverick thinking the issue would get fixed and letting bugs go by. I just re-installed Maverick a few days ago and the issue is still there. So, before I un-intsall again, I figured I would check here for any fix or if anyone else was having the same issue.
Example would be, as soon as you try to open the app, it immediately freezes and you get the round twirling circle that goes on indefintely.    The only time it will work, is after you re-start and then you can open it up. If I leave the computer un-attended for a few hours and then come back, freezing happens again.   Not all apps act this way. FireFox seems to have no issues.
Anyone else having this issue and if so, have you found a resolution?

... Do you recommend something else that would take it's place?   Like a free program, since I paid something for CleanMyMac2.
No. Using CleanMyMac2 can result in deleting required system components that must not be deleted, and cannot be deleted using normal means. Reports of misery resulting from using it or similar "cleaning" utilities are common on this site. You should demand your money back.
OS X maintains itself very well. Periodic "cleaning" is not required and can only result in degraded performance at best; a corrupted and useless Mac at worst. The perceived need for aftermarket utilities is probably attributable to many new Mac users who became inured to them after years of using Windows PCs.
Though Norton / Symantec's garbage has a different purpose, it is capable of doing nothing beneficial will also cause the same results.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Iphone 4S apps freeze after connecting to itunes

When I plug my iphone 4S into my laptop and sync it, all downloaded apps freeze and I have to delete them and re-install them which is start to **** me off. Can anyone please tell me what is going on. I never had this issue with my iphone 3. Cheers,

I seem to have this issue as well. Sometimes after syncing and sometimes they just stop working. What I have found is that I can resolve this by going to the app store on my phone. Previous times there were updates to my current apps, I would update and then they would all work. Yesterday, they just stopped working and there were no updates available. I downloaded an app I didn't have (just a random app) and then they all started working. The issue has always been resolved by doing this. Hope that helps.

Media encoder freezes after 4.2 update installation

Hey guys,
I´m in a middle of a huge project and I updated premiere and media encoder to a new 4.2 version. After that I can´t get anything out of premiere cause every time I try to export media encoder totally freezes after couple of seconds after I´ve pushed start queue. I can´t do nothing but to force to quit. It happens while it is still loading the project and haven´t started to encode yet. What´s the problem here?
I´m on mac pro 8-core and cs4 master collection

How long did you wait before force quitting? If it was only a minute or two, try longer.
If that doesn't work, then remove all of the old queue items from the AME.
Then save your Pr project, and clean the media cache database from Edit | Preferences.
Reboot and try again.
If all of that fails, then trash your Pr and AME preferences and try again.

All animation freezes after Log Out used

I've searched and searched and cannot locate another issue similar to this...wondering if someone could offer advice. After I took the iTunes 7, Front Row, and QuickTime updates recently, my dock animation, menu animations, etc freezes after using Log Out feature and switching to a different account. When I log into another account (or log back out and into my main account), all animation is gone with the Dock, menus, etc. I have to re-boot in order to get animation back. What is weird, is that it appears to just be animation. Functionally, I can still click on items in the dock or menu bar and have them do what they should. Just no animation. Not even the blue highlight as I move down over menu items. I have repaired permissions with nothing out of the ordinary. Any other ideas for me? Thanks in advance.
PS: I do not have fast user switching turned on. I always use log out user when needed.

Just one bump here for the weekend. Anyone else encountered this or can offer suggestions? Thanks.

IPad crashing and freezing after 8 ios updates

My iPad 1 has been crashing and freezing after completing the most recent ios updates, what could be wrong?

Can there be any person who can say that Apple treats customers as valuable persons ?
Way how IPAD 2 users are treated, served and issues solved shows clearly how they just care of new purchases. All crashes, slowness, battery consumption, extremely bad user experience with slow and jamming UI etc... Anyway this is over now with me as I'm moving out from IPAD / IOS due this experience. Ride was a good but now its over as trust is totally destroyed by Apple.

HTML5 App freezing after stopping geocoordinatewatcher (sometimes)

Hi
I have a problem with my html5 app freezing when I stop monitoring geolocations. The strange thing is that the freeze only occurs if the phone has been unable to receive gps positions for some time. When this happens, the app never gets
to the “done” alert (see code below). The funny thing is that the app returns to idle detection mode (the screen gets black after a few minutes), so that must mean that coordinateWatcher.Stop() is called without any error.
If I am outside receiving gps positions and stop the geomonitoring, then everything works fine.
If I have been without gps positions for some time, and then take the phone outside until gps is ok, then things also work.
Is there anything I can do to handle this situation?
JavaScript:
function stopMonitorLocation() {
window.external.notify("stopGPS");
  alert(”done”);
Native code:
private System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinateWatcher coordinateWatcher;
// Constructor
public MainPage()
  InitializeComponent();
  coordinateWatcher = new System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinateWatcher();
private void Browser_ScriptNotify_1(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e)
  if (e.Value ==
"startGPS")
try
         coordinateWatcher.Start();
PhoneApplicationService.Current.UserIdleDetectionMode =
IdleDetectionMode.Disabled;
catch {}
    else if (e.Value == "stopGPS")
       try
coordinateWatcher.Stop();
PhoneApplicationService.Current.UserIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Enabled;
       catch {}

Ok, so I finally got the 8.1 update, probably as one of the last humans on earth, and this solved the problem.

G5 Startup Freeze after recent Security Update

Since installing the new Security Update, my G5 2.0 Dual freezes after the status bar in "Starting Mac OS X" reaches the end. I have restarted multiple times – same thing happens. I tried holding down SHift to start without extensions, but no difference. Then I booted from Tiger install disk and ran Disk Utility to repair disk and permissions, then rechecked. All O.K. Same freeze. Tried Single User Mode startup and ran FSCK – disk checked out O.K. I'm so frustrated that I'm entertaining an archive reinstall of Tiger. Does anyone have a solution or idea before I go that far? The Security Update worked fine on my G4 17" 1.0 MHz PowerBook, so I was able to go online to plea for help, but my G5 is my main workhorse and I've got to get back up and running. APPLE – WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME???

Well, I tried Tech Tool Pro and nothing changed. Went to MacFixit and followed all of their suggestions. Next, I made a clone of my H.D. with SuperDuper! before I took the next dramatic step. I finally bit the bullet and did an archive reinstall of Tiger, then applied all updates up to the newest Security Update. First install hung up on startup after updating to 10.4.7, so I did it again. I then spent the whole morning reisnstalling printer drivers, fonts, and third party stuff I had in my original system. All is working well now and I'm able to get back to work. Phew!!! I've been reading everyone else's trials and tribulations with the new S.U. This has never happened to me before with an S.U. Please Apple – don't do this to us who depend on our Macs for our very livelihood! Give us a way to restore to our previous state when an S.U. screws us up!
