How to control what happens when an app crashes?

I can't for the life of me remember where the setting is for telling MacOS X to display a dialog asking if you want to Relaunch, Reset, Ignore etc.
Anyone? Thanks, people.

smithrj,
Don't think I communicated my question well enough: I know how to crash an app. What I don't remember is where I find the setting which changes the OS's behavior, once an app's crashed. By default, an OS X installation prompts the user with a dialog, to the effect: "Application Safari has unexpectedly crashed. Do you want to Relaunch, File a report, Ignore?"
But I have changed this behavior to permanently Ignore. Now, where was the setting? Thanks.

TabNavigator - How to change what happens when a user clicks a tab

I am using a TabNavigator in my Flex application and I'd like
to be able to change what happens when a user clicks a tab on the
TabNavigator. I'd like to be able to handle the click on the tab
myself and stop Flex from perfoming it's default actions. Anyone
have a clue how to do this? Any help would be much appreciated!

Yeah, in the following code, the changeHandler has an effect
but the click effect does not:

TS1702 What happens when an app is no longer available in App Store?

Since joining iTunes I have download two apps that are no longer available. One I paid for and the other for free, I still have the one I paid for on my iTunes which I can put back on through my computer; but the new app that was free just was taken down (I think you guys know what app I'm talking about). I'm afraid to delete it and connect it to my computer because I don't want it deleted forever. What will happen?

If an app is no longer available in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it. If you connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it will be copied over and you can take a backup copy of it. If you have 'automatic syncing' then you may want to turn that 'off' via the Devices tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) on your computer's iTunes

What Happens When Hard Drive Crashes?

Unfortunately my hard drive sustained a fatal error and had to be formatted. All 4200+ songs and videos in my Itunes library were wiped out, but I still have 'em on my Ipod. Can my library be restored by re-installing the Ipod software and reconnecting my Ipod? Can my purchased songs and videos be recovered as well? Thanks for your help!

I reloaded itunes. I was afraid to plug my ipod into the pc, but when I did, it told me that my ipod was already synced with another computer and could only sync to one. It asked if I wanted to transfer my purchase and I selected yes. It copied my purchases to the new itunes library. Since I have all my files backed up I just jumped right in. It worked fine.

What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you set up iCloud on a new device, you will get photos from Photo Stream (you will have to transfer them to the device), your contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and your iCloud mail address. All of this will be done automatically by iCloud when you log in iCloud on your device.
To transfer your purchased music, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 Also, if you have the music on your computer, just connect the iPad to the computer and sync it with iTunes to get your apps, movies, music...

What happens to my apps when I switch iCloud accounts on my phone?

I'm trying to switch the iCloud accounts from an old one that's acting up to a new one that I've created. When I started to, though, I got worried because it said something about Documents as I tried to delete the iCloud account that was already there.
When you change the iCloud acconts on your phone, what happens to your apps?
1.Are they all deleted?
2. If not, do they just stay and never get updated, or do they all reset?
3. Is there any way I can transfer the purchases to my new iCloud so that I don't have to buy them again?

Depends upon what you mean by change.
If you update your existing account to have a new primary email address then you shouldn't lose any of the account's past purchases, balance, or iCloud storage - you may have to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Sign Out).
If you create a new account then your existing account's purchases, balance and iCloud storage will remain tied to the existing account, you can't transfer them to a new account or merge the new account with the old one.

HT1657 What happens when you rent movies and they don't play? How come that question is not on the list?

What happens when you rent movies and they don't play and you tried getting credit for it? I rented two movies which they were very very old movies in black & white and they both don't play. I never had this problem before even when downloading videos. Now how can I get credit for it? I contact itunes a number of times and no one has done nothing as of yet. Itunes also asked me for my order number which I sent them but still no credit.

Great question MommaBof4! This is actually something that can be completed. VZW does have the option to turn this feature on or off based upon the users request. If you would like to update this feature on your device please give us a call by dialing *611 send from your VZW device, thanks!

What happens when the iphone app won't open on iphone 4?

what happens when the phone does not open and automatically shuts down the phone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I am due to upgrade my iPhone 3 to iPhone 5. I have icloud which co-ordinates my phone and mac what happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my contacts, notes, addresses etc. Do I have to disconnect icloud and how? What happens?

I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5. I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other. What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc. What is the procedure and step by step action? The new phone arrives - then what?

When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.

What happens when Time Machine starts to fill up a drive?

Using Time Machine on a partitioned External HD has been an absolute snap! I love the app. My main disappointment with it is that it has no literature on HOW it works, and no real ways for me to set different controls for it other than on and off.
My question is that what happens when a drive starts to get full? I have about 30 gigs left on the partition, and I am wondering what Time Machine is going to do. Does it just delete the oldest material, or does it simply fill up and tell me to look at everything on there and decide to clear it all off. I hate that I don't know what will happen.
-Jon

From what I've read (I've not gotten a drive full so I can't speak from experience), when the TM drive gets full, it will notify you that it's going to start deleting the oldest backups to make space for the new ones. This general behavior is mentioned in the Mac Help for Time Machine, though it makes no mention about notifying you before it deletes the old backups, so I'm not sure about that part.

What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?

I'm on my second iMac. My first one (G5, 1984) died, and I replaced it early 2010 with an Intel mac. The transition when exceedingly well largely due to Time Machine. I just hooked the Time Machine drive to the new system, and I was soon back up running!
My home folder has 70GB of data. The Macintosh drive has 105GB of data and 395GB free. The Time Machine drive has 220GB used and 30GB free.
1. What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?
2. Do I have control over what backups get deleted?
3. If lightning strikes twice, will I still be able to restore my Intel mac like my G5 mac, even if backups get deleted?
4. Is there anyway to control what backups/backup files get deleted?
5. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

Do you mean all of them? The entire Backups.backupdb folder?
That's a large mess. First, even a normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of files. Your best bet by far is to simply erase them with Disk Utility -- that will only take a few moments. If your TM drive has a single partition, see #1 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]. If there are other partition(s) on the drive, see #2 there.
If not, and you only deleted some of the folders, you have a different, worse problem. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks: +*Never move, change, or delete anything in your backups via the Finder or Terminal.+*
You shouldn't have to delete backups at all, since Time Machine will do that automatically when the disk/partition gets full. But you can do it without harm via Time Machine. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
A normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of items, each of which must be individually deleted. A secure delete will take much, much longer, as each deleted file must be overwritten with zeros.

What happens when you AirDrop from Mac to iPhone and click Cancel?

I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2.
I can take a PDF on my iMac, drag it to my iPhone in the AirDrop section of Finder, and it transfer to my iPhone just fine. Once it's finished transferring, a popup shows on my iPhone asking me what app I want to open the PDF in, which is great. At the bottom of that popup is a "Cancel" option. My question is, what happens when you tap "Cancel" instead of one of the apps? Is the file still somewhere on the iPhone? Or does it get deleted?

Connecting to a new computer or iTunes will always erase the device first. Back up manually before by right clicking on the iPod in the device list and choosing "backup". A manual backup does not include the sync process. You can use this backup to restore from after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
Transfer your purchases the same way and make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your Mac, to be able to merge data.
See also iTunes: About iOS backups to get more info about the content of a backup, and How to back up your data and set up as a new device , if you want to know more about saving info from the iPod before setting it up in iTunes.
