Applications close randomly

I tried using a few programs, such as Skype and FlightGear, and when I try to run them, they just close after I open them. What's going wrong?

From Skype's support page:
The minimum system requirements for Skype 2.0 for Mac are a Mac OS X v10.3.9 Panther or newer, *G4 800 MHz and above, any G5 or any Intel processor*, 512MB RAM, 40 MB free disk space on your hard drive and a microphone.
The G3 processor doesn't meet the requirements.
From FlightGear's website:
http://macflightgear.sourceforge.net/?s=requirements
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006
*PowerPC G4 or later* (G5 2GHz or greater would be nice) or Intel Macs (2GHz or greater would be nice).
Again, the G3 processor doesn't meet the requirements.

My iPhone 4 keeps kicking me out of Mail application at random

Hi! So, my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1.2) keeps kicking me out of the Mail application at random. Let's say I reply to an email and then delete the message. The screen goes black, and kicks me out of the app onto the home page. When I go back into Mail, the email will either A. Be still there and the reply never sent B. The email there with the replied symbol and the reply sent C. The email there with no replied symbol and not registered as sent but it was or D. The email gone.
It never has a repeated pattern of kicking out, and what happens with the email seems it was decided at random. This is the first real problem I've had with my iPhone that's really annoying and I can't fix. Help?

Try force closing the Mail app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Mail in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again. See if it behaves normally now.

While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly, Please Help!

So, I have created a cool project that was a lot of hard work in After Effects CC (Mac), While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly. Here is the link to an error log which is automatically recorded when After Effects crashes:- After Effects Crash (Mac) - Pastebin.com
I have tried to render this project at least 5 times, shutting and restarting my computer. Please Help!
Here is my computer specs if needed;
Operating System: Mac OS X Mavericks version 10.9.4 (13E28)
Processor: 2.5GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000
Screen Resolution: 13-inch (1280 x 800)
Hard Drive: 500GB -- 186.49 GB free space.

Element 3d renders using your graphics card. Unlike After Effects, what GPU you're using matters a lot for Element.
As it is, you don't really have one.
You could try rendering an image sequence and then picking up your render where it left off when it crashes, but if a certain frame is just too much for your computer to handle, there's not much we can help with. I'd suggest adding a GPU that Element can use.

Application Focus randomly changes

Im about to go nuts... Even as I type this, Lion is doing this crazy thing.
If I have a bunch of windows open, which I always do, the Application focus randomly changes. To better describe, If I am typing something in the address bar in Safari, it will bring windows from other applications, but the cursor is still in Safari, typing the keys I hit. I can't see what I am typing because it brings EVERYTHING to the front (Excel, Word, PPT, Skype, SFDC Chatter.. and the 10,000 other apps
I end up having to having to minimize everything to the dock so that I can see what I am typing.. and to keep from pulling my hair out.
This is a hard one to search discussions for, I hope it has been solved!
Thanks for your help
Frodo
PS - This happens on my brand new MBP, 2 year old quad core iMac and second gen MBA.

Well, I guess there's the standard troubleshooting stuff to try to see if we can't get a hint....
Have you tried:
- Starting in Safe Mode (hold shift key during startup) and seeing if the behavior persists?
- Creating a new user (or using Guest) and seeing if the behavior persists for that user?

Applications crash randomly

I am having a problem with three of my applications crashing randomly. Mail, Safari and a game = Minions of Mirth.
I spend most of my day using windows applications inside parallels. The I don't experience crashes while working with parallels, but when I start using these other three programs I start getting the crashes.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kelldog

I too had random crashes/sudden quits using Mail and Safari in Tiger (10.4.11 on aluminium iMac 24" - August 2007).
Since updating to Leopard - (10.5/10.5.1) - all is well.

Can't find an application close event.

I have a script that runs on the document close event. It looks like the document close event doesn't fire when the application is closed while a document is open. I checked for an application close event in the Script listener log, but there wasn't an entry for it, and the document close event wasn't present either.
The script I'm making writes a file in the same folder as the opened document that indicates that the file is in use. Then when the document is closed, the lock file is removed. It works except when you close the application. There is no document closed event firing, so the documents just close and the application shuts down without any events firing.
Is there a way know when the application is closing?
I found a possible work around that would be a huge pain. The idea is about loading a custom external library that performs cleanup when it is automatically unloaded when Photoshop closes. This is the prototype for the function that would do the work:
void ESTerminate (void );
There is another work around that invloves some button that the user has to remember to click to close the application. That would be awkward and open to user error.
I just want the document closed event to fire before the application closes. Thanks for you help!

That's too bad. I don't feel like getting a whole build environment setup for CS just so I can get a pre-close event in Photoshop. I implemented a script that the user will run in order to close photoshop. I saved a shortcut to the script in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts". The script closes each document and runs my event handler. Then it exits. Check it out, it seems to work:
#target photoshop
//user will run this script instead of hitting exit button
var MLAB_CUSTOM = new Folder($.getenv('MLAB_CUSTOM')).absoluteURI
var docs = app.documents
for(var i = docs.length-1; i >= 0; i--)
docs[i].close()
$.evalFile(MLAB_CUSTOM+"/Ps-FileLock/PsLock-OnDocClose.jsx")
photoshop.quit();

"Mail" application "closes unexpectedly" after a few seconds.

“Mail” application "closes unexpectedly" after a few seconds.
I use "Mail 1.3.11" to hnadle my e-mail. It works fine.
This weekend, due to a problem with an address, the server of my University has delivered more than 1000 messages to my account.
When I have opened "Mail 1.3.11" those messages have begun to enter into the "in" mail box. I have stoped it but anyway a good quantity of them have entered.
I have already solved the server issue but now that I want to empty those messages from "Mail 1.3.11" I cannot since the application "closes unexpectedly" a few seconds after opening it without letting me do anything.
How could I open and kept open my "Mail 1.3.11" until I am able to clean it?
Thank you,

Application close icon ('X')

Greetings all,
I am new to this forum and relatively new to Java.
I would like to bind a member function to the application close icon (The 'X' in the upper right hand corner of the applications main window).
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

How can i let my java application closes the other opened windows

how can i let my java application closes the other opened windows: like any other Microsoft Internet Explorer windows ... provided that my java application is not the one i used to open those other windows.... thanks in advance

you'll have to use JNI to access the windowAPI
then you need a list of window handles ... I think there was a function called getWindow and in order to close them you use sendMessage .... for details check out msdn (microsoft developer network)
somwhere I saw a tool called JUtil, which might help you getting started on accessing the win api from java

Applications close all the time.

Hello everybody,
I have a customer that i had to change her iMac's HD due to the slowness of the mac itself, however, i did not install the same HD brand, i think it's a Western Digital also, i reinstalled OSx 10.6 (the client wanted this).
However, this same client is having a lot of issues with this computer with all kind of programs, for example:
Adobe Package: all the applications close every time she try to save a file, it doesn't matter the size or the type of the file, all the time, it close.
Adobe PDF: Same for PDF.
Also, i have a problem with the language, i don't know why, but in Facebook and Outlook, the sender always changes to Chinese characters, for example:

Why do applications close suddenly ?

I want to download the office ( Word and Excel ) what is the programme name?

In order...
Close all your applications. Double tap the Home button to display the multi-tasking bar. Tap and hol one of the icons IN THAT BAR. Tap the red circle with a line through it to close those apps. Always do this when you are closing apps you are not actively using. Check out a video if it is still not clear.
Messages on iPad is not SMS if that is what you mean. You need an Apple ID and iCloud account to send iMessages to other Apple iOS device users from iPad. See more information here.
The original iPad is much slower compared to new devices - just like computers. Technology moves very fast these days. Other than upgrade, there is really nothing you can do about it being slow.
Microsoft makes a native Office iOS application for iPad, but it is usable only for subscribers to their Office 365 service and required iOS 6.1 or later. There are several third-party options that you can find in the iTunes App Store.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

How to detect an external application close event?

Hello,
I have an executable running at startup (scheduled task) and always
staying alive on my server. When the server is rebooted, I would like
to take some actions (write in a event log, etc) before my application
is closed by windows.
So how can I detect that Windows is closing and that it's time to do the associate actions before the closing.
I've tried the 'Application close event' in an event loop but doesn't seems to work.
I'm using labview 8.2 on Windows server 2003.
Thanks in advance!!
Vincent

I tied this and it did capture the application close event. What I did was while running LabVIEW in developer mode I used Windows Task Manager to kill the process. It did throw an Application Close event. I don't have time to try other cases like shutdown or what happens if it is an EXE but hope this helps.

Application Close Process

Hi There,
I would like to run some code when the VI/application closes, regardless of the method used to close. I have a handle provided by a DLL call, and I want to make sure that I call the function to close the handle and free up the resources when my app closes. It seems to me that I would want to catch the "Application Instance Close" event to make sure this is executed every time the app shuts down. I have tried to test a simple version of this to confirm it is working - and it isn't. The attached picture shows my simple while loop with a stop button that has the event handler structure inside. I haven't been able to confirm that the Application Instance Close event code has been executing, mainly because my while loop doesn't seem to be responsing to the stop button. I am guessing that execution is maybe stalled by the event handler waiting for something???
Any ideas or pointers?
Thank you.
Brian

VI_Shutdown.jpg ‏135 KB

That seems to have worked as far as being able to read the stop button. You also have to add a Timeout event handler to make Labview happy, but I just left mine empty. So does this mean that every time the while loop executes it will wait XXmS for an event and then process the rest of the code in the loop? That could be either very irritating, or an interesting way to control a timed interval for code execution.
But now that I am able to use the stop button, it looks like my shutdown code isn't executing. I have some a message box pop up just for debugging to let me know that this section of code executes, and I never see it. I even tried duplicating the same code in the Panel Close? event handler. I also tried highlighting execution, and it does not seem to drop in to the event handler. I am still stumped about how to get some clean up code to run when the application closes. Is there something else I am missing?
