Apps are automatically shut down...

Iphone 4S has developed a frustrating problem - All my apps, be it Facebook, Sky News, Music, Games, Google Maps, automatically shut down...A blank screen appears and it is so frustrating! I've tried everything; for example:
Exiting and restarting the app
Restarting the phone (leaving it off for a few minutes)
Un-installing and re-installing the app
Installing a free app to re-authenticate my itunes account
Updating the app
Updating my phone's software
Resetting my iPhone
Pushing the on/off and the main button at the same time to reset
Nothing works. It can't be a fault with the app as it's happening to most of my apps.
So frustrated!! Especially since I'm weeks away from upgrading to a new phone and am nervous to update to iPhone 6 in case it gives the same problems.
Please help!
Thank you

So you mean that in the "Settings -> Location Services" you see active purple arrows? Unless you also are seeing an active purple arrow on the icon bar at the top of the phone (next to the bluetooth icon), then those apps are not actively using location services. The arrows in the settings menu just mean they have used active location services within the past 24 hours (there is an apple KB article about it).

All my apps. are automatically shutting off when I try to use them.. They were working just fine yesterday, and today they just kick me back to my home screen! How do I get them to start working again. And my sleep/wake button is broken... so how do I reset if that is the solution?

X200 Series 7454-2JU Automatically shutting down.

Hello All....
Long time reader, first time poster. Anyways i am having an issue with a couple X200 Series laptops.
The users are reporting that the systems are automatically shutting down with no warning or error messages. Both systems are running Windows XP SP3, fully updated, and have the Lenovo Systems updates.
I have read somethings online about setting the Automatic Recovery in Windows which i have tried, but with no avail.
Is there anyone who has experienced the same issue? or is still experiencing the same issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

mikiexu,
we came to same conclusion that it mostly happens when it's in the ultrabase. We ended up rebuilding one of the x200 machines and the user was working fine. A couple of other users whose pc's we rebuilt still had the same issue. We concluded that somewhere there was software causing us to drink a 24 during lunch.(JOKE)
BUT....i think i found what is causing the issue. Look in the Scheduled Tasks in the Control Panel. If you see something there called PMTASK...DISABLE IT.....it is used as power management to set the machine into hibernation, dimming the screen etc. my gut tells that this is causing the problem

my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

Hi there,
This seems very frustrating. An iPad can shut down randomally for many reasons, just like a computer can crash. If it begins to happen regularly, then do contact Apple, but there are no signs that your iPad is malfunctioning from just one shut down like this.
But, you should be able to get all your in-app purchases back. In some apps, there is a 'restore purchases' button, which will download all the purchases you made for free.
In some cases, you can tap to make the purchase again, and it will be downloaded at no charge, however this does not happen with consumable items such as coins and credits.
I reccomend contacting iTunes Store Support at the link below, they will take a closer look at your purchases and give you further steps on redeeming them. They may also refund you if they have been lost.
iTunes Store Support
You can also contact the developer of the app, and report the crash and missing purchases. If you tell me the app, I'll give you the relevent contact in the developers.
Other than that, sorry for the problems, and have a great day,
Nathan

You probably need to restore your iPad now. Pay attention to the last part of this kb article where it explains about using recovery mode. You may need to restore the iPad using that method.

Apps automatically shutting down

All too often my iPad apps automatically shut down. For a second or two the screen goes black, then it restarts at the home screen. What can I do to stop this annoying problem?

Hi ronhaus,
If force quitting the app doesen't work, try reseting the iPad (different from restarting). Hold down on both the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the issue you're experiencing.
Hope this answers your question!

IMovie automatically shuts down

my imovie app automatically shuts down - first thing that pops up is "The previous attempt to open this movie failed, do you want to ignore it? No Yes are my options. What ever I click, it still automatically closes imovie.

Hello, PDJAMC,
Welcome to the discussions.
Yes, you need to have enough drive space for iMovie to work. At least 25 GB free space is recommended. How much do you have? Are you creating iMovies on an external drive? If so, is it Mac-formatted?
Whenever iMovie acts up, it is a good idea to trash its preference file. Close iMovie. Go to YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
If you also have iMovie 8 installed, be sure to locate the plist that is just imovie. iMovie 8's plist actually says 'imovie7'
Drag this plist to the trash. Reopen iMovie and see if it is better now.
You can also try repairing permissions on your drive, using Disk Utility.
If nothing helps, post back for more suggestions.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

MacBook Pro automatically shutting down

My Macbook Pro (2010) keeps automatically shutting down almost every time I put the screen down. WHAT CAN I DO??

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Server Infrastructure Licensing - Automatic Shut down

I have tried the other threads but pretty much everything goes off in other directions :(
I joined my new employer a few months ago and inherited a windows 2012 essentials server. I have since discovered that the server is shutting itself down automatically due to errors in Server Infrastructure Licensing.
I will paste some below for example.

These 6 errors repeat over and over every few hours until server shuts down.
From trying to research this most posts reference server 2008, or old kb articles which are not related to 2012 or suggesting I have other domain controllers. I don't just this server which for all intents and purposes works correctly and as intended apart
from the shutdown.
As i understand it essentials includes 25 licenses we currently only have 14 users. Actually whilst we are on that subject, I was looking at what we do when we hit 25, Im reading that we have to buy Server 2012 standard and do in place license change, and
then we have to buy cals. So does this mean we have to then buy 25cals to keep current users and then buy more on top? or does the upgrade from essentials include 25 licenses when you switch? MS's documentation is anything but clear.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I too have a server that shuts down monthly due to the Server Infrastructure Licensing check erroneously failing.

Mac book pro automatically shuts down

I bought a mac book pro last december 2012, yet i already experienced problems with my mac last january 2013. Twice it failed to open after i had it in sleep. Charger indicated no light. Twice i also had it taken in for service, in both occasions they are able to open it after several hours and days of service. During the last diagnosis, they said that they did a thorough check and it all passed. Please note that when i had it in sleep, its charge is more than 50 percent. For the third time this week, it automatically shuts down and does not open and no light in the charger also. What could be the problem? Its already the third time this happens and its really getting too tedious to have the similar problem yet the service provider said there seems to be no problem but i cant use it continuously- could i already request for replacement? Thanks.

Problem is you have a faulty Mac computer. You need to take it back in with documentation, like a movie, of the problems you are having.
Basically all Apple does is run a software test on the hardware, if it passes that test they say "Everything is Fine" even though you are having numerous problems. Without proper documentation of the problem or problems you are having you will get NO help from Apple.

IPhone automatically shuts down.

My iPhone is currently updated to 4.3.5 but i have this problem that when ever i use an app at battery percentage of below 80%, my iPhone will automatically shut down and display the no battery sign. But after about 5mins when i start my iphone again, it will be left with 50+% battery. This problem has already happened for almost 1 month but there seem to be nothing i could do to solve it, it is very annoying as i cannot do anything except to listen to music after my battery percentage drops below 80%. And that my iPhone charging time seems to be much slower, my mum takes the same time to charge her iPhone from 18% to 100% with me charging my iPhone from 75% to 100%, my battery percentage also decreases much faster than hers. Can anyone tell me what to do with my iPhone??

Does ios8 automatically shut down applications?

I'm running ios8.1.2 on an iPhone 4s. I use a couple of GPS-based recording applications to record my cycling training (one app is Strava, one is MotionX-GPS). I've had ongoing problems with the GPS-recording shutting down at various points during my rides and ceasing to record GPS data.... Strava is particularly bad and I've quit using it in favor of MotionX-GPS. MotionX, however, has shut down (or perhaps a better description is ceased to record... not sure) twice recently. I would sure like to find the cause of this.
Some information: my process generally when using these applications is to start my music on my phone (usually Google Play using downloaded-only music), then start the GPS-recorder, then sleep my phone and start riding. Normally, my next interaction with the phone is un-sleeping it to stop the GPS-recorder after the ride. Sadly, about half the time, now, when I un-sleep my phone the GPS application has shut down and didn't record some part of my ride. On one occasion, based on the point where the recording stop, I could associate the stoppage with the taking of a picture from the lock screen (MotionX-GPS, but that used to happen all the time with Strava), but that's the only event I have been able to associate with an app shutdown.
I have noticed that the recording of GPS data does not stop when I do not listen to music - I don't think the culprit is the music player, per se, but perhaps an unusually high memory consumption by the player at some point?
What I'm trying to find out via this question is: does iOS8 have some sort of mechanism for automatically shutting down applications when triggered by some certain event? e.g. memory reaches a certain level so shut down all other running apps? (In this case, though, it seems like such a trigger would shut down the music player, not the GPS-recorder, since the music player was backgrounded before starting the GPS-recorder, which should be the "primary" app even though the phone is asleep).
Very confusing and frustrating.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Scott

No one here is familiar enough with the internals of iOS to comment on iOS contingency handling. This is a user forum.
More likely your scenario is triggering a bug in the GPS applications which is causing them to abort. A resource problem could also be causing problem ( a exhaustion of internal memory or a exhaustion of external storage for the App(s)). This might cause an abort for the App requesting the resource rather than the music. Of course, if the music isn't playing, there is more memory available.
However, this is all just speculation.You should try contacting the developers of these applications to see if they have any ideas or fixes for these problems. They may also have a user forum.

What does it mean if my computer turns on and automatically shuts down a few seconds later?

I tried to restart my desktop but every time it tries to reboot, it automatically shuts down within 30 seconds. Is there an easy resolution for this or do I need to bring it in?
