Apps shut down right after start

I regularly run into the same problem. When I start any 3rd party app, it starts, shows a black screen and immediately returns to the main screen. After it has happened once, it happens with all 3rd party apps, but all native iPhone applications still work.
I found a way to fix it: I have to download a new application from appstore or uninstall and re-install an existing application.
The problem is that this issue comes up regularly and is definitely annoying... I have not found a specific pattern when it occurs, but I would say every 3rd time I try to open an application.
Any idea what the problem is and how it can be fixed?
my config:
iPhone 3G
OS 2.2 (5G77)
14.6GB RAM available - 11.4GB free
iTunes 8.0.2
Thanks!

niefl,
Have you tried the troubleshooting steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 ?
If those do not resolve the issue, you can try restoring your iPhone, choosing to set it up as a new phone when the process completes (this is an option that appears once the restore process is finished, accompanied by an option to "Restore from backup").

Macbook pro 2012 shuts down right after start up!

macbook pro 2012 shuts down right after start up. I tried the recovery mode but disk doctor cannot repair Mac osX hard drive.This is the second time that I have to format hard drive and install agin all applications. please advise!

I am not familiar with "disk doctor" but if you used Disk Utility to repair or reformat the hard disk, and it failed again, it is very likely the drive itself needs to be replaced. It cannot be repaired.
If Disk Utility cannot repair a hard disk it definitely needs replacement.
All 2012 MacBook Pro models are less than a year old and therefore covered under Apple's standard one year warranty. Have them fix it.

Mac book shuts down right after start up

my macbook shuts off after initial start up

Assuming no issues with power adapter or power source, do an SMC and PRAM reset. If those don't work, take it in to Apple for service.
SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Final Cut Express Shuts down right after capturing

Hello all:
I am using FCE 3.5. I have used this for about a year now and I have developed a problem with FCE shutting down right after I hit escape. I run a lab for a university and it is doing it on ALL of them so it isn't an isolated incident. I repair permissions, reset the PRAM, trashed the prefs and I don't know what else to do.
I am running imac G5's using 10.4.11 and the new imacs running leopard. Both sets are doing it.
Any help would be appreciated since our classes start soon.
Thank you.

Can you tie the crashes to a recent event: a software update, a new piece of hardware? What else is connected to the computers?
(You have, of course, triple-checked that the FCE Easy Setup matches the footage you're capturing, yes?)
After the program crashes, is the captured footage saved?
What's the lab setup? Does each student have an individual user account? On each computer?
Lots of questions, I know...
Here's a suggestion:
Use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Create a new admin account on one computer. Set the FCE Scratch Disk to the internal drive. Disconnect everything but the camera. Try to capture. See what happens.

Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

Hi, beth.lau.gr.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen. I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening. However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.

Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again...without no error information

I have Adobe Premium CS5 for MAC. My Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again. With no error information.
I have tried to download it again (web download link) with reopening the computer, but still it does not work.
Did not ask any serial numbers at all so I assume I was able to "smell" existing program on computer.
As Dreamviewer is part of bigger package, do i have to install only this program, web design set or what?
Do I have to download some other programs to get it work? All other graphic and web programs open and work properly.
What to do? Will it install it again if not uninstalled first?

For something like this, I would try clearing the program cache first: Deleting a corrupted cache file
Then restore preferences if the cache trick didn't work: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
And finally, if neither work, reinstalling using the cleaner tool instructions here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

PS5.1 shuts down right after opening file.

PS shutss down right after opening jpeg and other files. Win7 32bit.... What gives?

Most likely a bad font. Do you have any 3rd party fonts?
Also could be driver for video card, printer, scanner.
If these are all OK check your Event Log (see OS help)

Used safe start to try and fix issues with safari on MacBook Pro but it shuts down right after it stops. What can I do.

Safari kept shutting down and someone suggested trying a safe start to correct issue. All this did was create a new oils sue as my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.1 system only begins the safe start within lay a small portion of the bar filling and then shuts down. Now I cannot even get back to my regular screen.

artbyval,
what is an “oils sue”?
Have you tried booting into your recovery partition? To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilites menu, from which Disk Utility can be selected. In Disk Utility, select the disk that your MacBook Pro boots from (typically named “Macintosh HD”). Once the disk is selected, press the “Verify Disk” button; if it shows problems, press the “Repair Disk” button. Once the verification/repair is complete, restart normally, to see if you can login as normal. Once you can log in again, see if Safari still has the same problem with shutting down.

System shuts down immediately after starting

I have performed a system copy using a procedure that worked great for me in the past. The target was an new empty iSeries that has never been used before. Everything seemed to copy just normally.
The problem is this:
I log on as <SID>OFR and start the system with option 2 from the R3TASKS menu.   The usual work process jobs start up and immediately shut down.
The WP jobs have this in the job log:
CPC1224
Message . . . . :   Job ended abnormally.
Cause . . . . . :   A SIGKILL signal was received for the job. The action for the signal was to terminate the job.
Any suggestions of how to determine the cause here?
Thank you
Alan

Jurgen,
Thanks for your reply. You are right, the key was in that file. (Volker also pointed me in that direction). For some reason it had a name for my server that was not in my CFTGCP #10.
WARNING => DpNetCheck: NiHostToAddr(PTC02.PTC) failed (rc=-2)
I do not know where it got that address from. It is close to the correct address but because it was not exactly correct the network access failed. Once I made the change the jobs stayed up.
On to to the next problem....

ITunes shuts down immediately after start-up, while accessing the iTunes store. MacBook Air OS 10.6.8

I cannot access iTunes. It shuts immediately afyer start-up. I upgraded to 10.5.1andit gets to the point of contacting the iTUnes store when it shuts down. Any suggestions?

Well before you try unistalling itunes and all that try right clicking on it and running it as administrator. It worked for me.
But in the event you do have to unistall, make sure you consolidate you library first library>organize library>consolidate. Then do all that or you will loose all your playlists, and if you have alot of music on your computer you don't keep in itunes it will be a long process to put everything back in it, or weed out the songs you don't want in there.
Also if you do the second idea make su eyou restart your computer before you open itunes again.

E5-00: Ovi Maps shuts down immediately after start...

Recently, my Ovi Maps got some sort of error/problem, which I dont understand, nor dont know what to do about it.
When i open Ovi Maps, it automatically shuts down after a few seconds.
I tried to update to the newest version, when went succesfully. However, the same error remains, it still kepss shutting automatically.
Does any know what this is causing, and/or how it can be solved?
Im using an E5-00, firmware version 042.014.231.01 (latest version).
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@thamaestro
If you update from OVI Maps v3.04 to v3.06 old map data from 00.01.25.114 has to be deleted and new data from 00.02.42.122 downloaded. Are you saying that you watched new regional map data being downloaded and installed as this takes quite a while?
If you haven't downloaded new map data, would suggest that you delete E:\cities & .qf file, re-start OVI Maps application upon device to re-initialise and re-create necessary folder structure.

Macbook shuts down right after update.

IMG_5528.jpeg
I downloaded the last update. When the Mac shut down and restarted to install the update.. The computer shuts down. Not sure what is going on. Hope someone can help
I attempted to add picture

Hi DBolick5,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac is not starting up after installing an update, first try booting into Safe Mode:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Regards,
Jeremy

Mini shuts down just after start up

Any advice would be appreciated.
My mini seems to start up OK (chime, light, no flashing) but after a few seconds, it shuts down. The monitor never has a chance to come on. After repeatingly trying to turn it on, it eventually does come on with no visible problems.
I have unplugged and repluggd cables, removed connections to my USB network, reset the PRAM, checked drive capacity, checked keyboard for stuck keys, ran a virus checks, etc. I have no software that automatically comes on at start up rather than Norton Antivirus.
I am using a USB hub and it powers up when the computer does and shuts down at the same time. It, however, is self powered and the Mac Mini acts the same way even when disconnected from the hub.
OS: 10.4.8
Machine Name: Mac mini
Machine Model: PowerMac10,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.4f1
My set up has been working well for a year. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Your power management unit (PMU) settings may have become corrupted. See this Apple note to do a reset: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300574 . When you say you reset the PRAM, is this the procedure you followed?
Have you tried a safe boot? First unhook everything but a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Boot while holding down the shift key. This triggers some background maintenance that may help get you going.
If that doesn't fix it, I might try to run the Apple hardware test, if your machine has power long enough to swallow a CD. Insert the first OS X CD that came with your system and reboot holding the option key down. Choose Apple hardware test, and when prompted, the extended test. If you're able to run it, does it tell you anything?
