If I accidently open an app and immediately close it down, it keeps reopening. Why?
If I accidentally open an application, and I go to shut it down immediately, it automatically re-opens itself. It repeats and repeats until I let it complete the opening process.
Does anybody have this problem? And if yes, have you resolved it?
Thanks in advance

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

When I open an app it immediately closes back to the homescreen. How do I fix this?
I just updated to the new firmware on my 3gs, but now when I open an privately developed app, it immediately closes and goes back to the homescreen. Any idea on how to fix it?
There is no "quick fix" for all. It depends on what's causing the crash.
Delete and install the app again
Reboot iPhone
If there is a conflict with a running service or app, then that could be causing it, as well as memory usage.
It could also just be crap coding by the developer. -
Cannot load programs they either have error or you open the app and it returns to main menu
Cannot load programs they either have error 606 or you open the app and it closes and goes to main screen
Best to do a soft restart, <Hold down the "off" key on top and the "home" button at the bottom until it resets and you see the apple logo. It usually helps with those issues.

Apps open and immediately close
Hello all,
I've had some problems starting all of my third party, downloaded apps. Sometimes, typically after and restart or syncing with my macbook, I'll attempt to open an app and the app window opens then immediately goes back to the home screen. After some time it returns to normal, but at the time of this posting, after about 5 hours of standby and 2 hours of usage since last charging, the apps have still not returned to normal.
Is anyone else having this problem?I did.
Ended up restoring and syncing on a completely different computer to fix the problem.
If you don't have another computer, try rebooting your phone... hold the power button and home button until the apple logo appears. Also try rebooting your computer and doing a fresh sync. -

Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?
The format keeps changing but the basics remain...in the center of the screen are large images of the recent apps which you can close by swiping up and away.

My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!
I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off? -
My ipad hangs up after showing a message that says it "Cannot Access Find My Friends" and that I need to open the app and review my signin info to continue sharing. I can't go there because it is hung up. I also can't power off.

Just updated to 7.1 and now open some apps and cannot see the entire screen because the iPad, time n battery icons are covering top of screen.
I tried what you said but it still didn't help.
It only affects some of my apps other apps are fine.
For some reason in some of my apps the iPad, time and battery icons get bigger on the top of my screen so I can't see the top of the app page which effects some of the games and applications.
Is there any way to turn these icons off on the top of the screen? -
Open an App and see the App instead of just the name in the menu bar?
This may seem like a dumb question, but here goes anyway...
Two applications in particular....Microsoft Office apps (word,excel,etc)
and Pro Tools LE....
How do I open these apps and see the opening page of the app, rather that
just the name of the app in the menu bar and the desktop...?
This happens automatically in Win XP or Vista....Only a very few Apps have the option/preference to do that in OSX, not sure if any MS APPs do or not.
Maybe it would be closer to what you want though, to instead of opening the APP, drag say the Word® doc you want to the Word® icon in the Dock, which runs Word, opens the document, and skips the Open Dialog. -
