HT201401 Safari and Camera spontaneously shut down...help
I have an iPhone 4s. I do all the updates that are available, so I'm at the latest version of iOS available. Safari will open and let me use it, but it spontaneously shuts down frequently...to the point where I don't even use it now, its so irritating. Also the Camera was doing the same thing. I would hit the shutter button and it would shut down. Did that for awhile... couldn't get it to even work to take a picture in a text. Now it won't even open... hit the app and it starts to open and then shuts down. Anyone have similar issues or a solution?
Thanks!
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.

Safari and Word keep shutting down, any idea why?
I have a Macbook since a little more than 3 years, but recently Safari and Word keep shutting down. Is there any way to fix this or my laptop is going to die?
Are you sure its those two programs or is it a mac fault, if not you could try reinstalling the software

I am havering trouble with safari and apps shutting down on me all the time what can I do to resolve this problem. Thanks :-)
Make sure you have enough free space on your iPad. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
Also try a reset. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. -
Cannot quit Safari and therefore cannot shut down computer. Any suggestions?
Downloaded software updates, which requires restart. Because Safari won't quit, computer refuses to shut down and restart.
Can you 'Force Quit' as an option?....click the Apple in the upper menu bar and choose Force Quit and then Safari....

Mini spontaneous shut-down and application shut-down problem
Help!
I've searched. I've read. I can't find the answer!
After I updated my firmware several weeks ago (to SMC 1.3f4), I've had problems with spontaneous shut-down of the computer, and a frustrating application shut-down issue (Safari, Mail, Word--you name it!).
I tried to find the other firmward update from last summer, which I read about in several posts from July/August, but the link is dead (Mac Mini Firmware update 1.0.1).
Coincidentally, after an office break-in two weeks ago, I FileVaulted my computer. I thought my problem must have to do with that, but all the posts I can find here are about this firmware thing.
Should I/can I reinstall the SMC 1.3f4 update? Is there some secret to the no-longer-available 1.0.1 update?
Can anyone help me? (I would certainly appreciate it!)

iMac Intel, Mac Mini Intel, Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Try a safe boot, hold the shift key and power up, this will take a little loner than normal, hold the shift till you see the progress bar. See if it works normal, if it does than it is more than likely some 3rd party software.Then restart normal and check your console for panics. That would be your isssue. You can also start holding command R and restoring from utililities. Back up before you do anything.

i keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help
I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
does iTunes launch properly? -
After logic board replacement and software update, MacBook Pro is spontaneously shutting down and preventing restart. Inconsistent ability to restart after multiple tries. What is going on?
Hard drive sensor or logic board failure.
Try a SMC Reset, only thing I can help.

Check your tones with this sounds like it's not recognizing the RAM, perhaps it's not seated well or making a bad connection or it's defective.

My MBP (2007 intel) freezes or spontaneously shuts down and crackling comes from the speakers.
My MBP (2007 intel) freezes or spontaneously shuts down and crackling comes from the speakers. Sometimes this happens together all at once? It happens with and without peripherals. Has this happened to anyone else?
It does not seem to be linked to a specific program or periferal use.
I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.Run the Apple Hardware Test and swee if any issues are discovered. Also a SMC and PRAM resets may help.

Help Please B/W G3 crashed and will not shut down...
My old back-up B/W G3 crashed and will not shut down. After the crash my wife who was working on it attempted to restart it and all that happens is the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning dial (not multi-colored wheel). This actually happened a few months ago and I've just been using my MacBook instead, but realized there was still some info that we needed to retrieve from the G3.
The only way to shut down is to unplug. I replaced the Lithium 3.6V battery but that didn't help. I tried holding down the apple, command + P, R keys for the 3 chimes and that didn't solve it. I have no clue what else to do. I would love to somehow be able to at least download the info from the hard drive(s), but have no idea if the drives may be corrupted.
Please help with any advice. Many thanks.
RKYou can also try two other methods of Disk repair, without the Install CD:
• Boot up while holding down the Shift key at startup. This forces the Mac to check and Repair its Hard Drive as it boots up, and does not load most extensions. This is called Safe Boot or Safe Mode.
• Boot up Darwin in Single-user mode by Holding down Command and S at startup. When the messages stop scrolling, and it appears to prompt you for input, type:
fsck -fy
which forces it to check the disk, even if it is journaled.
The full story is in this article:

My grandson deleted Safari and camera from my iphone. When trying to restore the icons it deleted all my photos from phone. On top of this the computer I always used crashed and unable to recover them from there. I think I might have saved the them on the icloud but have no clue how to restore from there. Please some one help me!
You can't delete Safari and Camera - the most you can do is to move the icons to a differents screen.
If you have a backup of your iPhone, you can do a Restore from Backup. If you didn't have a backup, I'm afraid they're gone.
For the future:
Alway always always keep a backup, on iTunes (my prefernce) or in iCloud (more convenient for some). There is always a risk to anything that's only on the ihone -
