Apps crashing with high frequency.

I bought my self an iPad for christmas and I love it. What I don't like is that the os is so buggy. I have constant problems with programs (apps) crashing on a fairly regular basis. I know what your thinking "maybe it's just a couple of poorly made apps that this poor shlub downloaded from the app store". Truth is though that this seems to be endemic throughout all of the apps including the native ones that come on the machine. Now I know that I am spoiled with Apple's "it just works" environment but this seems buggier then anything I had ever experienced all those years suffering with windows. If anyone knows what is going on and has some advice, or would just like to lament with me over this issue please respond to this post. To help assuage all of those that are going to post the usual 1 2 3 walk trough, I have preformed all of the prescribed first step fixes, and because of the nature of the issue I believe the problem to be in the foundation of the OS or perhaps hardware limitations. It is my great hope that the newest iteration of the OS fixes, or at least greatly limits the frequency of these app crashes.

It's not the OS that is bug but the apps. Many developers are very sloppy coders which leads to their apps crashing.
I would restore as a new iPad with no third party apps and see how it goes. If it runs fine, start adding your apps back one at a time until you start experiencing crashes. Get rid of the app that causes the crashes and see how things go at that point.

  • Using iPod with high frequencies

    Hi there - I'm having treatment for tinnitus (high-pitched sound in the ear). There is a treatment where you listen to music interlaced with high frequency sounds which is supposed to stimulate the brain & the cilia inside the ear. They have CDs available but recommend not to use iPod. My question is, if you transferred the CDs using Apple Lossless would the high frequencies come through? Bear in mind some of these frequencies are up to around 14 KHz and there are all sorts of subtleties in the signal. One question is transferring it to the PC using Apple Lossless, the other question is playing it back on the 5G iPod. I'm also thinking of getting a Nano just for this - would it play it back OK? Thanks!
    MacBook Pro 15", 60 GB 5G iPod   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  
    14 iBook, 768 RAM, 60GB   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    This is only my personal opinion, which can be wrong.
    First, human can only listen to 20KHz most, thats why the CD's frequency response only cover in the range of 20-20KHz.
    For iPod - the apple mentioned the following
    iPod is designed to provide the best-quality sound. iPod has a powerful 60 mW amplifier so it can deliver audio as loud as you want. It also has a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, which means you can hear distortion-free music at the lowest or highest pitches. Even the iPod headphones are designed to give you the best-quality sound. The earbud-style headphones rely on Neodymium transducers, a rare earth magnet that significantly enhances frequency response and overall sound quality. Most other headphones use aluminum, cobalt, or ceramic drivers; at the same size, the Neodymium driver is five times as powerful. Because the strength of the driver increases the accuracy of the sound, the iPod headphones provide a high-energy listening experience while minimizing distortion.
    To ensure CD-quality sound, be sure to use a compression setting of 160 kbit/s (the default setting in iTunes) or higher when you "rip" tracks from your CD into MP3 format, or 128 kbit/s in MP4 format (AAC).
    Therefore, if you rip the music from a CD, it does not matter whether it is MP3, AAC or Apple Lossless, it will no reduce the frequency response, however, there is noticeable difference of sound quality from different format, of course with Apple Lossless format being the best, but much bigger size.

  • Fix for Music app crash with iTunes Match "on"

    Sometimes if you try to use iTunes match for the first time on 3G(or any other cellular connection) it crashes Music app permanently. It can occur if you try to run Music app on the go with bad 3G connectivity so some data is corrupted or configured incorrectly. I had this twice, but found this "easy" fix without a need of PC/Mac computer & iTunes.
    How to fix music app crash with itunes match "on".
    Step by step on the iPad:
    - delete all music on your device:
    Go to settings->usage->view list of all apps->swipe music icon ->choose delete
    - set itunes match off
    - run music app
    - give it a while till it shows "no music" info and only shop button. It needs to reload all settings and clear all data. Wait till no loading circle.
    - go to settings app again
    - music settings - itunes match on but "show all your music" off !
    -  open music app
    - wait till all your music lists covers download. It will take a while. Scroll down to load them all if you want. Wait till no loading circle.
    - go to settings app again
    - music settings - show all your music on
    - go to music app
    - wait till it download list of all your music
    Done
    Maybe you can fix this with lesser number of steps but this way I'm sure it works.

  • Photogene App crashes with some photos with iOS 8 update, not others when in edit

    SInce the iOS 8 update some when I select a photograph or when scrolling pictures in an Album, the App crashes.  This never happened before this new upgrade.  I've used it for months.  Any help appreciate.  With certain pictures, no problem.  I make personal cards for printing and this app has been great until now.  I go into one album, scroll, select a photograph p, work in it, no proble.  I move to another Album, and whil scrolling it crashes, repeatedly..  This app replaced the iPhoto App as that one was multiplying pictures like rabbits and alleged fixes and visits to the Apple Store did not solve the problem.  The Appke Store personnell were great but no one could fix that issue.  I deleted it.  Many, many others everywhere had that similar problem.  Any help with this crashing problem is appreciated. 

    Thank you, Ralph,  for your reply.  I'm a practical person so I tried trial and error.  It was recents ans larger Albums that the Photogene crashed.  I could make a card from my smaller Albums.  So I transferred a few photos from the ones that crashed to the successful Album(s).  I could edit, put Text, save, export to my library, e-mail and post on FaceBoo.  That worked for me.  A round about way, but it works.  Again, thanks.

  • All CS2 apps crash with "Read Only Memory Exception" error.

    Machine Specs.
    Apple G5 1.8ghz DP
    OS X 10.4.10
    It doesn't matter which one I open, they all crash with the same error. This started when a user placed a support ticket for their mac not starting up. I wasn't able to save the user so I created a new user, and then moved their desktop files over to the new user. However the only files I moved were those on the desktop, and their Notes data directory.
    Thinking my job done I marked the tickets closed and walked away.
    I got a call later when the user came into the office and the issue was that Indesign CS2 was crashing with a "Read Only Memory Exception" error. I first deleted the Preferences on the machine. That didn't work.
    So I created a new user to see if it was the user causing the errors. I received the same error when opening Indesign CS2 from the brand new user account. I also tested all other CS2 programs and got the same errors.
    Next I tried deleting the CS2 programs and re-installing them. No luck, same error, even with a new user. I have not re-installed any plug-ins with the new App installs yet.
    Removed all fonts, and ran a font cache cleaner. Same error.
    Finally, the last thing I've tried is to manually remove every adobe application on the machine. Acrobat 5/6/7, CS1, CS2...etc. I have also removed any Adobe files/folders in the //library/, and /$home/Library/.
    Yet I still get the same error. Short of a complete wipe I'm not sure where to proceed next. I'm really confused and hoping someone can give me some clues.

    Thanks to a comcast permissions error any new files I upload to my comcast.net pages requires the administrator username/password to even see the file to download it. Simply giving out the URL for new files results in page not found errors.
    So for the forseeable future I don't see any way to upload this file correctly. Its there on my webspace all 63megs of it. If I login through the FTP account I can upload and download to my hearts content but since anonymous access is disabled I'm not giving out my administrator login info.
    I've got a gig of space, using 22mb of it, and can't upload any more files because no-one has permissions to access them.
    I spent a half hour on the phone with comcast trying to figure this out. However I don't know whats going on with their end. I have a trouble ticket open for a level 3 tech, we'll see whats going on.
    So the Font Scrubber will remain unavailable for the time being unless someone wants to give me guest upload access to a FTP account. I'm not opening a fileshare account with anyone, don't like'm.

  • Applescript Studio app crashes with link error (dyld) image not found

    I've built a small Applescript studio app that works fine on the development machine but when I run it on other machines it crashes with a dyld error, specifically:

    looks like you built the application in "Development" mode - switch the build style to "Deployment" and most probably things will be fine in the other machine.

  • Safari and Mail.app crash with SIGSEGV after Monolingual / upgrade

    In order to upgrade to snow leopard, I had to free a bunch of disk space. So, I foolishly ran Monolingual to remove unused languages. I don't recall exactly which I removed, but I do remember that I did not remove Japanese. I then upgraded to Snow Leopard, but now I have a Safari and a Mail.app that crash consistently with segmentation faults.
    Mail.app crashes anytime I attempt to view a message with Japanese characters in it. I click the subject line, it tries to display it, and then crashes with a segmentation fault in Dispatch queue: com.apple.root.default-priority in the com.apple.datadetectorscore _FillNextTokenInCache method.
    Safari crashes in HistoryTextCache caching from the method com.apple.SearchKit UniCharParserGetNextWord after a few pages (5m) of browsing. Doesn't seem to matter what pages I'm viewing. Although I can force it to crash just after successfully rendering a page with japanese characters by visiting such a page.
    They repeatably crash the same way. Is there any way to fix this without having to reinstall the OS?

    I'm still having this problem. Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    eric

  • [SOLVED] Gnome 3.8 apps crash with X Window System Error

    So far this applications are affected:
    - gnome-terminal (when clicking on menu)
    - gnome-control-center (when choosing Users or Date & Time and some other tiles, choosing account in GOA)
    - epiphany (when clicking on new tab button)
    They crash with following error in console:
    (gnome-control-center:12717): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-control-center' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
    (Details: serial 3583 error_code 17 request_code 148 minor_code 46)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
    variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    My graphic card (iI guess this has something to do with xorg):
    AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4550 (using catalyst legacy driver 13.1 with Xorg 1.12)
    Last edited by szorti (2013-04-24 08:40:26)

    I did a little test:
    - upgraded to xorg 1.14
    - switched from catalyst to xf86-video-ati drive
    Most of the errors dissappeared (GOA still crashes).
    But now i can only see message tray using keyboard shortcut (super + m). I read that I need to move my mouse fast to the botton edge of my screen - does not work - instead it show up randomly when i moved mouse near the bottom edge.
    I don't want to use the open source drivers (slow and laggy with multi monitor setup I'm using). I hope gnome devs will fix this bugs soon.
    SOLUTION (to still use catalyst):
    I found out that this is an Xorg 1.12 bug.
    Bug: http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2012/12/msg00133.html
    To solve this use patch from this bugreport to compile xorg 1.12
    I used this aur packages:
    1. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86 … evdev1.12/
    2. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorg-server1.12/ - I have edited PKGBUILD to include patch from bug report above

  • Music app crashes with IOS 8.3 after playing two songs

    I just submitted this bug report to Apple:
    I have a auto update smart playlist based on zero rated tracks with an album rating of 3 stars or higher.  I play this playlist on random and rate the tracks as I listen to them.  Since updating to iOS 8.3 the music app will play two tracks (which I have rated during the play) and upon the completion of the second track will crash or close out and return me to the iOS home screen.  This is repeatable.  I have music matched switched off and the playlist is freshly updated from WiFi update from my Mac.
    Has anyone else experience something similar where the music app will close repeatedly after only playing a couple of songs?

    Hi
    I'm also having all the same problems mentioned earlier, ever since my update to 8.3.
    Having tried deleting "5 star" playlist, recreating and then re-syncing, does nothing!!
    As per ToolMan7x6, I can play from "songs" , "albums" or " artists" via shuffle or regular play with no problems, on my iPhone 5S, but as I can't listen to the circa 3500 songs I have on my phone all day in shuffle mode, this is driving me nuts!!
    Any suggestions would much be appreciated

  • Mail.app crashes with s/mime emails

    I have a bigger issue again. I sign all my emails with official certificates and in  IOS 6 the mail app keeps crashing again when you try to open the email or delete. Basicaly as long as the email is in the app, it kills the mail.app.
    It was working good for a long time without any issues and I tried different certificates and even the mail client that signs the email.
    Anyone else having the issue or have seen similiar?
    It is pretty frustrating as I can not longer send signed emails, as I am never sure who reads it on the iphone or not. The Mac Mail client has no issue nor does Outlook on the MAC and Windows have any issue with it.
    any ideas?
    Marcus

    After restarting, restoring, resetting etc etc I have found out that the app has problems only with Microsoft Exchange accounts.
    Delete that and you are fine...
    Problem persists when Microsoft Exchange account is configured...

  • Mail app crashes with large mailbox (25k+ messages)

    When connected to an exchange account, large mailboxes, whether split across multiple folders or all in the inbox, cause the mail app to crash occasionally. Nothing is lost, but it is not behavior I am comfortable with and I want to know if there is a known fix for this issue (aside from the obvious "reduce the number of messages" answer).
    Thanks!

    I found this thread and though thank god I am not the only person with this problem.
    My .mac Account works fine. However my Demon Account which has worked fine bombs out within seconds. It was working fine for the first week until this evening.
    I have done a reset as discribed,
    I have deleted the demon mail account on the phone and done a reset. reset up the Demon account and still get the same problem.
    Then Tried; deleted the Demon mail account on the phone and done a reset, turned the phone off completely, Done an iTunes Restore, turn the phone off and back on again and then re-entered the account details.
    Still have the same problems. I can't remove the stuff of the email server because I need to keep stuff there.
    Can anyone offer some advice?
