Programs keep shutting down

Is anybody out there experiencing this and do you know how to fix it. It doesn't matter what program I am in I have about 10-15 minutes before it shuts down. It's so frustrating because it so unstable and I am not sure how to fix it. I have done ever possible download and still nothing. Please help. Can't run a home business like this.

I am having the same problem. It just started today. I installed Leopard on Oct. 29, I've had it for a couple of weeks. At first, I loved it, but new problems keep popping up every few days. I, too, have an at-home business and I run Safari, Firefox and Safari Mail simultaneously to monitor two businesses. Safari hasn't been affected, so far, but Firefox and Mail will shut down. It always happens after I leave my computer, so I don't know what actually happens. But when I come back all I have is my desktop and no webpages are open. The only way I can get them to re-open is to Restart the computer.
Another problem that started last night is with iDisk sync. I get an error box stating that certain items were unable to sync. Always different items, but all are photos that are on iWeb or .Mac Homepage and have been there since Tiger.
The very first problem that I noticed after installing Leopard is that webpages are opening much more slowly than with Tiger. Evenings are always the slowest but it's never been as fast as Tiger. I'm on an ethernet cord, but that didn't speed things up at all.
These are my answers to the questions you asked of Hiitsss:
Firefox v. 2.0.0.9
Safari Mail 3.0 (912.1/912)
Capacity: 232.44 GB
Available: 185.26 GB
Thanks for letting me jump in.

Welcome to the discussions!
Have you tried creating a new user account and launching the apps there? If they work under the new account, then it is possible that you have a corrupted pref file.
I had this happen on my eMac, but it was when I was a newer Mac user and didn't know much. I ended up reinstalling to OS - which corrected it - but that is a bit drastic.
Let's not do that, but try some other troubleshooting first.

I have downloaded photoshop elements 12 on mac. But the program keeps shutting down and i have to restart it the whole time.

I have tried deleting the program and reinstalling it but it is not working. It is really annoying since I use it for my photography business. I can not work in a program that keeps shutting down.

You must always, always use the uninstaller in the PSE 12 folder in applications. Unfortunately, you broke some stuff by moving the program that way, so now I'm afraid you have a bit more work to do. First, download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
That will not actually remove anything, but it frees things up so you can go around and manually remove stuff. After running it, you will need to scurry around your hard drive and trash all the bits you can find. Start in your username>library>preferences. To see that library, option click Go menu in the finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. look especially for files beginning com.adobe.whatever. While you're in that library go to the saved application states folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
Next you need to go to the library at the top level of your hard drive>library>application support>adobe and delete all the PSE stuff in there. That library isn't exactly hidden, like the user library, but it's hard to get to. The easiest way is to go to the finder preferences>sidebar and turn on Hard Disks under Show these items in sidebar. Then the next time you open a finder window your hard drive will appear in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library you want for this will appear in the top level of results.
Finally, after reinstalling PSE, be sure to immediately go to editor>help>updates and update to 12.1, then repair permissions.

Why does my Mail program keep shutting down?

At least daily, my Mail program unexpectedly shuts down. It never happens while I am actively using the program so I have not lost any data; however, it is abnormal and is starting to make me feel a little concerned.

Hello RCraig1984,
The article linked below details some useful information and steps that can help isolate and resolve issues with applications quitting unexpectedly.

My programs keep shutting down when I try to print!!!

I have no clue what is going on. This is happening in both "word" and "pages". Typically I finish my work on my ibook (G4) then connect to my printer via USB to print when suddenly the program shuts down. Once this happens, the only way I can print the document is to copy the content, open a new document, paste the content on the new document, and then print. This is extremely frustrating. If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Try deleting print prefs - search for files that start with com.apple.print (File>Find) and delete them, then restart the Mac, then try printing.

My safari program keeps shutting down while I'm trying to use it on my iPad 4

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can stop this happening?

Tap Settings > Safari then tap to clear History, Cookies, and Data
Then restart the device.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Windows keeps shutting down iTunes because of Data Execution Prevention. is there a DEP version of iTunes?

My iTunes program keeps shutting down shortly after loading. I get an error from Windows stating that a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Then I get a message that states iTunes was closed because of Data Execution Prevention. It states to find a version that allows DEP or change your DEP settings. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but still have an issue. Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can use iTunes?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

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.

Nokia Lumia 925 Windows phone keeps shutting down

     I have had a problem for the past 2 months, my Nokia Lumia 925 with Win 8.1 keeps shutting down spontaneously. (I did not have this problem before 8.1) This is my third phone in the last 2 months (warranty program keeps sending me replacements) and it shut down for the first time this morning. All 3 have developed the same problem, the phone will shut down spontaneously and the only way to start it up again is a soft reset (Volume down + Power for 15 seconds). I have had a total of 10-15 shutdowns between the 3 phones and this is a conservative estimate.
     I am thinking that this has to be a setting or an app that I use (and few others do) that is causing the shutdown since I have only seen a few other similar issues in the forums. Here are some of the basic facts about my situation and some of the actions I have taken:
              - I have wiped the phones repeatedly (3 phones wiped a total of 3 or 4 times not including the initial setup of the replacement phones, which is getting really old--really fast).
               - I have tried turning off NFC, but that obviously wasn't the issue because NFC was off this morning when it shut off.
                - I have tried trimming the screen protector/screen guard I installed as suggested in one of the other forums even though that seemed ridiculous (I think that was a different model phone too, but I gave it a shot)
I have not noticed any common occurrence such as
                           --when a certain app is running
                           --when it is on/off charger,
                           -- When the battery is full or low (it was 24% this morning).
               -I have 2 chargers, 3 if you include the car charger that I have never had to use due to great battery life.
               - I have called tech support several times, all AT&T can tell me is that this is not a known issue and I should wipe it again. Nokia says the same and that I should send it back to them for repairs. That seems fruitless to me because I have had 3 different phones, what are they going to repair that a new phone won't fix?
       It takes me 3 hours to reinstall and set up my apps, I am getting very frustrated. I really love the way this phone functions, the software is good, the screen is brilliant and very sensitive, the camera is great (although a bit slow), and the size and feel are perfect for me...I hope that someone here on the forums can help.
Thanks for your help in advance...

Hello, mariaadamsky.
We appreciate you reaching out to our community regarding your concern. You are using a Lumia 925 as well, correct? Did something happen to your phone that possibly caused such behavior? Did you try doing fixes on it?
Latest software released for Lumia phones is the Lumia Cyan. To confirm that you have it installed on your phone, go to Settings> extras+info. You can also try going to Settings> phone update> check for updates to check if there's an available update. Are your system apps also updated? While connected to WiFi, go to Store> ...> downloads to check for pending updates. Let's hope that the phone will not shut down while doing this process.
By the way, we can try other fixes that could help us identify the real cause of the issue. In case you wish to have it repaired in a Nokia Care Point, warranty claim may vary per region and Nokia does not have an international warranty. Also, creating a backup is a must to avoid data loss. Where did you buy the phone and where are you located right now? To know about the manufacturer's limited warranty, go here: http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/guides/Nokia_Manufacturers_Limited_Warranty_with_W....
We look forward to your reply.

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.

Why my 2009 desktop with OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself

Why my 2009 desktop using OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself?

When it shuts down, the screen blanks (more like turns grey, like the color of the background when on the log in screen). It reboots immediately, so at first the problem was presumed to be restarting, not shutting down and powering back on. The computer is usually very warm, and definitely gets hot easily. A test was run determine when the fan would turn on to start cooling the computer by running digits of Pi, and the tester concluded it was too close within the safe temperatures before it would permanently affect the computer. (I believe this was within 5ºF, but I am not 100% sure.) The times when it will turn off and reboot do not seem coorelated with much if anything. It has done this at multiple times, among running varying amounts of programs and for different lengths of time: right after logging into the user, within a minute of after it has turned off and rebooted, within 5 minutes, 10, 30, even 60 minutes of turning off and rebooting, when only running one program such as Firefox, when running various programs such as Firefox, iTunes, Microsoft Word, Sticky Notes....
Basically, it makes no sense.

App's keeping shutting down!

Hi, does anyone know why my software, especially Safari and Masque (cards game for the iMAC), keep shutting down when I am in the middle of using them? I have updated Safari several times. I have updated Leopard. I even installed Firefox as an alternative browser and it sometimes shuts down while I am using it!
First, the program freezes, then it shuts down. A screen comes up to gather info about the problem. Then a different screen comes up to send the info to Apple. This has been going on for almost a year. It happens every day, sometimes more than once a day.
