My apps keep crashing. Is this an iOS problem and what can I do?

Every time I open an app, regardless of whether or not it comes built into iOS, it opens and will work for a little bit, but then crashes. The main apps I use are Safari, the Contacts app that comes standard in iOS, and Textfree + VM. Do I need to reinstall the OS, do I need to send in the iPod, or what do I need to do?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Purchase and install any new app.
- Restore from backup
- Last, try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.

I restarted my mac and many apps and files disappeared. It's like it booted to a state several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?

It's like it booted to a state it was in several months ago. My CS 5 apps are not in the dock or applications folder. Has this ever happened before and what can I do?
The files on my desktop are not the ones that were there when I shut down. It's like it's gone back in time.
My display's power supply got fried (I think) in a power outage so I bought a new one. However, every time I restart the display usually stays black. I have found I need to keep rebooting until it kicks in and starts working. I unplug everything, wait a while (a few minutes to overnight) and try booting again.
This last time the display finally came on but I'm faced with this problem. I used to use time machine, but I deleted everything and disabled it a couple months ago or more so I'm at aloss as to why the mac is booting into the state it was in sevearl months ago.
What could I have done to cause this? Has this ever happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
Note: I did a search for a file I knew was created today. I found it and it showed that it was a file I had saved on the desktop this morning--even though that file's icon is not appearing on the desktop now.
I did a search for photoshop and saw my CS5 version listed.
However, I did a couple more searches and these files no longer appear in the search. I don't know if they're there or not. This is bizarre!
I'm on a Mac Pro, 10.6.2.

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.

I have an iPhone 5. I've downloaded the iOS 7 update but it won't let me install it. Is anyone ells having this problem and what can I do??

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

I just update to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s. The calendars on my iPhone are not keeping the information on the days that should be marked. The info is there in my iCloud on my computer, just not on my phone. Has anyone else had the same problem and what can I do about it? Is it at bug in the iOS 7 update?

What do you mean by "on the days that should be marked"? Are you calendar events displayed on the wrong days?

Apps keep crashing after upgrade to ios 7 ipad2

After upgrading to ios 7 most of my apps keep crashing on ipad2 why? Do i need to re-install them? Please help

i am having the same experience (as well as several other problems) since installing iOS7 on my iPad2. The apps briefly appear to open when I tap their icons, but then disappear. double tapping the Home key to bring up the multi-tasking view idicates that the apps are running in the background but, I cannot access them.
This fiasco began because I was unable to login to my One-to-One account after the iOS7 update. I spent 4 hrs on the phone last night, with 4 different people from Apple support, restoring the iPad to factory settings & then restoring the image from my iCloud backup, only to end up with the situation described above. And I still can't login to my One-to-One account, plus I amnow also unable to access the iTunes store. I am sure there are other problems that I have yet to discover.
This has been such a "Windows" experience that I find myself wondering if Apple truly has lost its mojo & mystique. Are their pretty products worth their premium prices? More importantly, are they worth the frustration I experience, & the time that lost from my life, in trying to resolve problems with their"improvements". If asked today, my answer would be a very loud & resounding "NO"!!!!!

Have you done a reboot? (holding the on/off and Home button at same time until the Apple logon appears.)
Also, have you tried closing all apps? (double click Home button and swipe up with your finger.)

Itunes is on an external Hard drive, but it keeps copying my movies back. Why and what can I do to stop it?

I have a Mac mini purchased in 2010, i have recently purchased MacTV which is great and works well. Because I had so many movies and music I moved my iteunes to its own external hard drive. I keep getting the Start up disk full warning, which was why I moved both iphotos and itunes to external disks. but I still get the message, now and then. for instance last night it said I only had about 7gig left. I shut down the computer and thought I'll deal with that tomorrow, when I turned on computer today there was over 70gig available... I don't understand what is happening. I'm using iflicks, and I did discover that iflicks kept a copy of files on my hard drive and I've fixed that I think. This morning I discovered all my movies sitting in my music folder on my hard drive. i'm just getting very confused about what my computer is doing without my knowledge.

You will have to engage a split library which means you will have to start answering questions on this forum because you will need to learn a lot about how iTunes works in order not that have a big mess at the end of it all. It also won't be easy when the time comes to relocate it all to different drives.
You can go to advanced preferences and turn off organize media and copy to items to media folder when adding items to library. Next read about how to selectively consolidate items to the external drive.
Sept. 2010, Consolidate selected content - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2589812 and April 2014, https://discussions.apple.com/message/25414357
"...selected the new tracks directly in iTunes, Control-clicked on the selection, and saw that now you can consolidate selected items." - http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090919000326840
Remember that when you start iTunes without the external drive turned on iTunes will present you with a bunch of broken links. If you have automatic downloads enabled with iCloud you may have to turn that off to prevent iTunes from repopulating your drive trying to deal with those "missing" tracks.
If you add tracks in bunches to iTunes and want them to go to different media folders you will need to either add them by holding down the option key while dragging if the desired media folder is not the one set in preferences, or by changing the media folder in preferences. Changing media folder preferences only applies to new files added, not old ones.
Okay, I am going to stop typing because you might just reply to me, "Oh, okay, forget it," and I don't need the exercise.

I keep getting server errors with icloud why and what can l do

Can any one help me please

That's an awfully vague question. What servers? Mail? Calendars? and what operating system are you using?
I'm going to hazard a guess that you are having trouble with your email, and that you are using a pre-Lion system such as Snow Leopard. (If this guess is incorrect you're going to have to provide more details.)
You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
If you have Tiger you can set up mail manually, though no other iCloud facilities will work:

     another App
     as text file

When I open it as a text file, it's loading and loading.....forever?
What shall I do?
PS I'm 70 and not good at computers

Hello Mats in Sweden!
I'm from Austria, not so far away! The file that you've received seems to be a Windows Media File and you may need a special software for your iPad to be able to open it. I've found something HERE.
If you open this link on your iPad it should take you to the App Store, resp. open it. The price for this app is 1,59 €.

What does this error message mean and what can I do about it?

I have a similar problem to others using Time Machine with Lion. I recently upgraded to Lion 10.7.3, but am now unable to get Time Machine to back up, despite reinstalling, verifying and repairing (unnecessary) my various internal HDDs. I realise that indexing takes some time but 14 hours overnight with no progress seems to indicate that something is radically wrong!! The only TM message is "Preparing Backup" and "Calculating" and the widget just tells me that standard backup has started. It never changes.
System log shows the following message:

If this file is corrupt, how can I remove it and replace it, or otherwise identify and correct the problem that
is causing TM to hang. Any and all expert advice welcomed.
