Apps opening first time after restart crash but reopens ok

Applications (Mail, Archive Utility, TextEdit and many misc ones) opening for the first time after a restart crash but then re-open ok.
This repeats again after a restart.
They all open ok on the second try.
The same applications can open ok the first time after a restart but different ones then crash but open ok after a second try.
I have not tried another account yet.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks ... Ken

Thanks for the response.
Start apps mostly from Overflow.
Trashing Overflow prefs and Finder prefs did not help.
Also Archive Utility SOMETIMES quits first time:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Archive Utility.app
Next time I will check the Console and post the contents.
Thanks ... Ken

  • My 4th gen 32gb iPod touch recently crashed for more than 12 hours during which time it was completely unresponsive. This is not the first time it has crashed but by far the longest time it has been unresponsive. What are the likely causes of this?

    I don't regularly use any apps beyond Windows Live, Facebook, Skype etc. but app crashes are becoming frequent and this recent blackout was disturbing. What are the potential causes of this and how can I avoid them in the future?

    it's weird , your device is not jailbreraked and it crashes? my device is jailbreaked and i almost have the same problems.
    look, to avoid these problems:
    1- dont open too much apps , and if you do , close them by multitasking menu.
    2-try sometimes to turn off and on your device , its like refreshing ( called "respringing" in jailbreaked devices.
    if you have the same problem , see an apple specialist.
    plz mask as helphul question.
    thanks.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • Why can't rotate first time after launch in iPhone?

    launch app -> rotate device -> view rotated ok.
    but
    rotate device -> launch app -> view not rotated.
    what's the reason?

    It can auto-rotate at the first time after launch now.
    The reason seems not be the interface builder. Previously, I compiled the app using SDK 2.0, while the iphone's OS is 3.0. Now it is OK, I compile using SDK 3.0.
    But there is another problem. I want to switch from a non-rotatable view to a rotatable view, and if the device is in landscape mode, I want the rotatable view auto rotate to landscape mode.
    Safari can do this. But I don't know how to implement this myself.
    I switch views in this way: [view1 removeFromSuperview], [window addSubview:view2];
    because I find shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is called when using addSubview.

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

  • Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • What mean that the sign of the GPS ( the arrow head) is always active although there isn't any application is opened and also after restart the phone

    What mean by, the sign of the GPS ( the arrow head) is always active although there isn't any application is opened and also after restart the phone still active

    Something is using location services. You can go into Settings, Privacy, Location Services, and see a list of what you have authorized for location services, and see a legend that tells what the display of the arrow head means and you should be able to compare it to the list to find out what app was using it.

  • How to stop the new Photos.app opening every time I put in a new device?

    How to stop the new Photos.app opening every time I put in a new device?
    It's annoying as i use bridge to do all my photo organising.

    Insert or attach a device then let Photos load. Then uncheck the box indicated:

  • TS2518 My RAW (nikon .NEF) files changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import.

    My RAW (nikon .NEF) files are literally changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import. I.e. The correct photo (light/color/etc) seems to be there and then a second later the photo changes. It's almost like it's showing a quick enhanced version then back to basic raw image. Started within last two updates.
    Is there a fix or is this the straw that forces a switch to Lightroom?

    Just recall that Aperture (or any other 3rd party raw converter) has NO information about the JPEG preview and how it was made.  That information is camera-vendor proprietary.
    Also note that there are like 6 "picture styles" in camera and this change you're seeing is entirely dependent on how you have them set.  If you have your camera set to "vivid" or something you'll see more of a change than if your on-camera is set to "faithful."
    That said, people here ALSO complain that Aperture's initial renders are TOO vivid, the exact opposite of your complaint, so you can't please everybody (in some cases, it seems you can't please ANYBODY ;-)
    Aperture provides a starting point.  Again, if you don't like it, you can tell Aperture to go with a "punchier" interpretation at its first render.  In the import dialog, try setting Aperture to use the "auto enhance" preset which is built in.  Aperture will add a little vibrancy adjustment, and it will add a curve, which will greatly add punch to the image.  If you want adjustments in a different direction, you can create a preset and set it at import.
    The only thing Aperture CANNOT do is what you're asking, which is "take the JPEG that my camera vendor generates through some voodoo and try and render the raw file just like that."  It's, unfortunately, impossible to do.

  • When i hold down command and r at the same time after restarting it comes up with a

    When i hold down command and r at the same time after restarting it comes up with a black screen and a lock symbol and a field bellow where you would input a password, i have tried ALL of my possible passwords including my password i use for the mac and it stil will not work! all that happens is the text i put in bellow erases itself after hiting enter or clicking the arrow.

    I've tried my apple ID password and that doesn't work either . I don't recall seting a password for an encrypted disk either :/ if it was for an encrypted disk, would it be in keychain anywhere? if so how can i find it?
    Thanks!
