My powerbook keeps shuttig down my apps

Im a newbie to Apple and this discussion board, please excuse if this a redundant question. My 12" powerbook keeps shutting down apps, from Safari, Limewire, iTunes, everything. It is also coming up with a black screen telling me to restart the computer at least twice a day. My powerbook is only a week old. What am I missing?

Sounds like you're getting sudden application quits and kernel panics. I'd either question the integrity of the disk or the RAM at first, since those are the easiest to check.
I'd boot from the Tiger DVD, and run Disk First Aid to see if there are any problems. If it reports there are no problems and doesn't need repair...or if it fixes some things and the problems persist, I'd question the RAM. If you have other disk utilities (such as Tech Tool Pro 4, DiskWarrior, et cetera), you may run those as well.
To check the RAM, remove the 1 GB RAM module (I assume you have a 1 GB RAM card and 256 MB built in?), and try to run. It will be much slower with only 256 MB of RAM, but we're checking for app quits and kernel panics. At this point, if the crashes stop and everything runs fine (albeit slowly), it's probably a bad (or improperly seated) RAM card.
I suppose there's also the potential for problems on the logic board, but let's hope that's not it as that's the biggest hassle to deal with. At least you're still presumably under warranty in that case.

My iPad keeps shutting down or Apps keep closing

My iPad keeps shutting down or apps keep closing.

Just wondering if you all remember when it started for you. I updated my iPad classic to v5 and i remember that it also did an auto update though iCloud a few days after that. I think mine started shutting down apps and safari after the iCloud update not with the first update to 5 over my computer. Is this happening to people with iPhones and it so which iPhone do you have? I don't use an iPhone but my husband and son have the 3GS and I have not updated them yet or my sons iPad I'm waiting to see if they fix this. I can't believe I got this typed and posted before safari shuts down and I have to start over. One more thing my iPad is not jailbreak.

If I reload my iPad back to default through iTunes back to original do I lose my apps? Safari keeps shutting down and I'd like to give this a shot.

Iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps

Why does my iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps when I'm in the middle of using them? The battery is holding a charge and iTunes says my software is up-to-date, so I don't understand why this is happening! It is really frustrating when I'm trying to order something online and Safari keeps shutting down!
Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Hi Rebecca,
I have looked on google for a fix to the same issue.
Apple has been aware of this issue dating back past 2008 but they have not released a fix.
Apparently the only way to fix it is to "do it yourself" everytime, by resetting your iphone to factory settings. And reinstalling your applications again.
I just brought an iPhone 4 in New Zealand, and I have only 9 applications on my phone. So it can't be an issue of 'too many' apps.
Sorry this doesn't help. The balls in Apples hands here.

Why does my iPad email app keep shutting down?

I just purchased my iPad 2 3G last week, so I am a new iPad/Apple user. I really like the product and now wonder why I have stayed loyal to the Windows PC for so long. I'm still looking for some of those useful PC keys and keystroke shortcuts that I am so accustomed to, but I am adapting.
My iPad mail app keeps shutting down on me, whether I am typing a message or just reviewing/managing my mail. I use a bluetooth keyboard, so it is not a matter of me bumping the touch screen that is causing the app to close.
I have lost a lot of important business emails while composing them and eventually stopped using my iPad to compose email.
Is there a setting controlling this or is it a program glitch?
Thanks.

Pam-
It could be that the battery charge indicator is showing 100 percent when you actually have almost no charge left. In case that is the problem, leave your iPad connected to its wall charger overnight, and see if that helps.
One other thing to try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.

HT201209 If I have redeemed my my gift and the balance is updated in the App Store and I still can not down load apps...what could the issue be? I keep getting this error message "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed". Then it refers me to apple support.

If you haven't already contacted iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My iPad keeps shutting down out of all apps.

My iPad keeps shutting down out of all apps. If on FB, camera, messages, etc. It will just go to a black screen and then back to desk top. Could it have a virus, what should I do?

Hi iPaduser58,
If you haven't already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPad:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Restarting your iOS device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPad using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPad first.

HT1338 hi my iPhoto app keep shutting down what should i do?

hi my iPhoto app keep shutting down what should i do?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens or tries to open, i.e. how soon does it crash?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.

I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

First and periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The iPad 1only has 256 MB of memory.
Next
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to see my inbox messages

MY Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to open my inbox messages . It happens on both my iPhone and my iPad

I'm having the same issue and I think I've figured out why: apparently, Facebook had an issue with it a few days ago and shut them off until they've fixed it. Here's a link to the info:

So unfortunately it doesn't fix our issue but it explains it at least!

Unable to delete you tube history. You tube app keeps shutting down.

My you tube app keeps shutting down, when a video has loaded to play. Then returns to the startup screen... I have tried to delete the history, but the red delete buttons fades out an nothing happens.

One point. I don't have much iPad experience, but if I have too many films on the iPad , would this have a effect on the overall memory, and could this be the problem. If I delete the films from the iPad, will I still have them in the iCloud or library.

Ever since I got the new update my iPad keeps shutting down apps mid use!

While using my iPad 2 programs and apps keep shutting down mid use this only started happening after I did the update.... Any suggestions?

Try closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then do a soft-reset and see if that improves things.
To close apps : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
To do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
