CATASTROPHE: Every app (except core ones) crash on start. Please help!
Hi,
I just came home after spending a month out of the country with no computer but my iPhone 4. Now that I want to check some of the information I put in, I see that every app crashes on start. I already turned it off and on several times and it didn't help. Also did soft resets (sleep/wake + home) several times and didn't help either.
Nothing was installed, nothing was done, nothing was changed. It wasn't updated either. I just turned it off for the night and then turned it off the next morning.
I'm shaking because I have one month of data in it I can't access in any way!
Please, does anyone have a magic fix for this?
Thanks in advance!
I was trying just about anything and was going out of my mind when I noticed that installing a new app somehow fixed the issue. I think any app would do.
Phew! I'm going to sync RIGHT NOW!

Every app on my Mac crashes on start
Hello everyone!
Well this is not a joke, every app on my Mac crashes whenever in what condition. Finder, Pages, Keynote, System Preferences, System Information, Photoshop... all apps on my Mac crashes on start. This happened from I shutdown my Mac (normal condition) and I went to my friend's home then when I boot up my Mac all apps are dead. I think that it might be caused by HardDrive shock and damages the disk, so when I got home I headed to Apple's Internet Recovery to have a Hard Disk repair. At last nothing was changed after the repair. Before I head to my friends home, my Mac was totally fine and I didn't download anything to my Mac (might not be a virus).
What should I do please help me! Thanks!My VMWare Fusion no longer works. The other apps aren't crashing, but I have inconveniences. TextEdit no longer brings up a new document right away. Safari sometimes shows my bookmarks when I don’t want to see them. It might even be slower. The Messages App doesn’t let me send text messages to people who don’t have iMessage. In Logic at one point my menu bar disappeared. And of course, the name reminds me of Sarah Palin and John McCain.
In TextEdit I couldn't see the I-beam cursor.
The Mail App might appear slower because it doesn’t show old messages right away.
I do like some of the new features, like Maps, and freezing ads, but I was expecting a more seamless transition.
And look, my fonts are different sizes above.
I posted here because it was taking too long to load the main discussion list with 18,000 items.

I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the safari update. Now I can't open any apps except the ones that came with the phone. I have tried rebooting, turning it off and on.
When I select the icon, it goes to the page then returns to my screensaver.
It was working well before the update and sync with my Acer netbook. Have never had any problems with itunes store or downloads.this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
"The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
Hope this helps -
My app iBooks keeps crashing non-stop after I allow all internet connections that iBooks asked for! I have tried to update OS Maverick, I've tried to restart etc. but it's just keeps crashing..
Please help.Hello there, Goraksanat.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good pointers for troubleshooting your issue:

Additionally you can try an SMC reset as it is recommended for:
Applications may not function correctly or may stop responding after being opened.

The App Store is not loading.. Please Help
Since I bought my mac pro back in 2011, I have never used the app store because it never loads.
Now I really need it because I trying to download the Yosemite. Below is what I get every time I open the app store on my macbook pro.
Please help fix this.Hi ..
Several things to try.
Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, MacKeeper, and anti virus software, can prevent the App Store from loading
Disable anti virus software if installed
Check the firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

I bought Macbook air at 1 moth ago.
But So unfair……New Macbook air…….
I want change new one or Refund me
Please help me..It is really not relevant what you buy; especially with electronics, your item is "outdated" as soon as you get it home because there will always be a newer, bigger, better things out there.
Does your machine no longer do what you need it to do? If so, sell it, and buy a new one. If it does what you need, then keep it and work with it.
Apple allows for returns within the first 14 days; you can try going to a store and seeing if they will make an exception, but I would not expect it. -

An app counting minutes and data use. Please help!!!
Here's one, there are others in the App store:

However, since your carrier is the one that bills you, the only stats that matter are your carrier's. Some carrier's offer apps that provide this info, see if yours does. -

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. -
How can i remove my credit card from app store, the none option its not there and i don't Owen nothing to apple, my last in app purchase was in clash of clans, please help!!! Because of that problem i cant update my apps! Plz help!!!!!
You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

HT4972 the apps weve downloaded are not working. please help, extremely frustrated with our ipod 4
the apps we have downloaded are not working, please help, extremely frustrated with our ipod 4
See my previous reply for for the apps closing.
For the wifi problem:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect OK before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I reset my iphone 5 and went to set it back it up and it says it has to be registered in the developer account. I do not have one of these. PLEASE HELP!!!
It's beta. It's no where near ready for prime time. It's put out there so that developers can start getting their products ready fo the new release.
I've been working in IT for over 25 years. People have gotten the wrong idea about what a beta is thanks to the likes of google, who release a product to market and call it "beta" just so they don't actually have to support it. I've beta tested operating systems going all the way back to OS/2 when it was still a joint Microsoft/IBM project. Believe me, you do NOT want beta versions of operating systems getting into the hands of the unwashed masses. It would quickly turn from 'getting rid of bugs' to outright revolt. -
