Facebook app begins to open up and then close immediately

When I am opening up the Facebook application on my iPhone, it just opens the screen and then closes right away.
Does anybody know why? I've powered down and back up, but it still does the same. My phone is just a couple of days old, but I've done the software updates.

I starting having this problem yesterday, for the second time in two weeks (I got my iPhone on the 26th of July). I did a complete restore last night. i got all of my data re-entered into each program. then, i switched my language to Japanese, and all apps started crashing again. I tried un-syncing a bunch of them, re-synching, then synching only part of the 80+ apps I have (okay, I know I'm an app junkie). Hard re-setting didn't work. Nothing did.
I was actually thinking of taking it back and reactivating my old phone.
Then I tried something simple. I re-downloaded a free app (Hangman) directly to my iPhone via the apple store. BAM! Hangman worked, and so did everything else.
The cause of my problem may not have been the same as everyone else's, but here is what I think worked.
1) In OS X on a mac, if something goes awry with a program, you usually can fix it by deleting a plist file.
2) Since you cannot do that on your iPhone, a corrupted plist file somewhere in the iPhone was refreshed/fixed by re-downloading the software directly to the phone.
I know that elsewhere, on Maccast specifically, I heard that it is best to never download programs directly to your phone (it is always better to sync them through iTunes), but this has me thinking otherwise. Once I get iPhone working again, I may try to never again connect the iPhone to iTunes again. I guess this means listening to podcasts ONLY on my other (STABLE, NON-CRASHING) iPod, the classic... so even though I bought the iPhone in part so that I dont have to take a PHONE and a MUSIC PLAYER when I leave the house, then I will have to take two devices anyway...

With 1.1.1 update on Sep 2, excel opens and then closes immediately. same with word and powerpoint

with the 1.1.1 update of MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint for the iPad on Sep 2, all of the three open when selected and then close immediately. Using iPad Air

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Downloaded Apps open and then close immediately

The downloaded apps, not the apps that came with the phone, close immediately after i open them. i have reseted it multiple times and it doesnt work. HELP!!

Hi there,
I too have just experienced this, I suspect because I hooked my iphone up to a friends laptop when visiting on holiday (in Canada) and thought that rather than opening a new topic, I'd add on the end of this one...
I have tried all suggestions found on Google (a restore, de-authorising my laptop and re-authorising with the itunes store, not syncing apps, downloading a new app (on the iphone and on my laptop) and then re-syncing and none of this has worked.
Interestingly, if I download a brand new app via my laptop and sync it to my iphone, it works but all of my old apps restored from the backup open and then close within 2 seconds.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Calendar ap opens briefly and then closes?

The calendar ap opens briefly and then immediately closes, not allowing me to access any information. Any thoughts on how to fix? I've tried the various reboot options with no success.

Did you quit the calendar completely and then reboot? It might not solve it, but it will not hurt either.
Quit the app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't do any good, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
You could try restoring from a backup - if you have a very recent backup. Otherwise all data entered since your last backup will be lost if you do this.
How to backup and restore from a backup

You may have a corrupt entry that can only be dealt with by restoring the device but that would be the last step to use and only if nothing else works.

When I touch an application, no matter what it is, it opens quickly and then closes and goes back to the main screen. What should I do?

Basically what I said before. I will touch the Words with Friends app, just for an example, and it will open and quickly close. Same goes for everything else. Birds, Facebook, Music, Books, etc. Any thoughts?

- A reset usuallu cures the problem:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If still problem, restore from backup via iTunes.
- If still problem, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Do I need to reinstall Tiger and start over?

A couple of things to try before taking those drastic measures.
1. Repair permissions, restart.
2. Boot with the install disk, launch Disk Utility, and verify/repair the disk.
3. Boot into safe mode and see if it works there.
4. Reinstall the 10.4.7 COMBO update, restart, repair permissions, and restart.
If those don't work, consider Archive & Install rather than an Erase & Install. See http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/ for details.

Adobe 11.0.03 opens, refuses to interact and then closes immediately

My Adobe reader 11.0.3 is opening, will not allow me to click anything and just makes the warning sounds when clicked and then shuts down on its own... think it could be F secure that has blocked it...
I have reinstalled and deleted and repaired... I have also disabled F secure to see if that makes a difference, but alas does not.
Thanks

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Photoshop CC opens and then closes immediately. What gives?

I have signed up for the Photoshop CC and Lightroom package. Lightroom is running fine (Lightroom 5.2, 64-bit, Windows 7).
However, although Photoshop seemed to install OK, when I open it, it immediately shuts down.
When I look in Creative Cloud manager, it says Photoshop CC is "up to date".
Uninstalled Photoshop CC, logged out of Creative Cloud, logged back in again, and re-installed Photoshop CC.
Installation appeared to go OK. I started PS, window opened, and immediately closed. Was asked to complete registration by logging with my Adobe ID. I did (had done so previously but went rhough it again) but PS still crashes.
Signed out of Creative Cloud; signed back in again; PS still crashes, but a pop-up appeared stating that I should complete my registration by signing in with my Adobe ID. Did so, again.
Rebooted. Still no success.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

There's a fix!
Un-install Photoshop CC.
Un-install Adobe CC.
Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and find SLCache and delete it.
Go to: C:\ProgramData\Adobe and find SLStore and delete it.
Restart.
Install Adobe CC.
Install Photoshop.
Restart.

I am having to run v3.5.10 because even now with latest 3.6 that version - every 30 seconds or so I hear a process open and then close. Can't track it down even in task manager - too brief but it's insistent! So stuck having to use 3.5

I have to use V3.5.10 despite wanting to run 3.6 (just updated to 3.6.6 too). However when I run 3.6 I hear thru my sounds set up a process open briefly and then close every 30 seconds or so - it's very regular and insistent and I'd like to know what it is and why. It's too brief to spot in Task manager processes listing. This did happen once under 3.5 I seem to recall but was cured when it upgraded.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Pretty much soon after I first applied and ran 3.6

My Win sounds give me a sound each time an app or process opens and another when it closes - thus I know from that any time something happens.
I have 3.6.6 on as well as 3.5.10 - so can run either. But running .3.6.6 despite being update still has this odd process open and close every half minute.

AcroRd32 Opens and Then Closes when Invoked from VB in PowerPoint

Hi,
I am trying to open a pdf file embedded in a PowerPoint presentation while in presentation mode.
Theoretically, I should be able to click on the embedded object and have it open in its proper application.
When I try to open a pdf file, AcroRd32 opens, briefly displays the document, and then closes immediately.
This happens in both versions Acrobat Reader 9 and X. The problem didn't exist when using Office 2003, but now exists in Office 2007.
I can open the document when in editing mode - just not in presentation mode.
I have built an Add-In for PowerPoint.
My VB code for opening the document is:
myshape = applicationObject.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddOLEObject( _
                FileName:=vrtSelectedItem, Link:=MsoTriState.msoFalse, _
                Left:=22.5, Top:=127, Width:=675.8, Height:=377)
With myshape.ActionSettings(Powerpoint.PpMouseActivation.ppMouseClick)
                .Action = Powerpoint.PpActionType.ppActionOLEVerb
                .ActionVerb = "Open"
End With
Does anybody know how to fix this problem, or have a work-around for it?
Thanks.

For Reader questions you should ask in the Reader forum. The programming questions usually go to the SDK forum or scripting forum.

Then the next step would be to restore your phone. My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

Facebook opens and then closes in one second

When I open Facebook, I see the start screen, it is "loading" and then closes the app within 2 seconds.

One thing to do is deleting the Facebook App from your iTunes account (don'k keep the file, move it to trash) and from your your iPad too, then Install it again from the iTune Store and sync it to your iPad. It will configure your app as a new app and all libraries would be newly installed.
I hope it might solve the issue.
