Progs + Apps randomly close/crash - why?

Hello!
I have a reccurring problem with my eMac. Programs such as Photoshop CS2 and more recently Itunes & IPhoto close without warning. The vanishing app is then replaced with a 'this program has unexpectadly closed, submit error report?' window.
I wondered at first if this problem was due to insufficent RAM? I have tried everything i know how to restore and remedy this problem...anyone have any ideas?
[The eMac in question recently was repaired under the Apple Recall Program for machines with leaking capacitors and had its logic board seen to - could this crashing of software be a related complication?]

Try a Reset...
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

  • Apps Randomly Close

    Hello, i currently own a white iphone 4 with the most current software that there is.  I have had it since the beginning of august.  This last weekend my Facebook app and a couple of other apps would randomly close and go back to the home screen.  They did this a couple times overa  three hour time span.  They have not done it since then.  I tried a hard reset and they still continued to do this.  Should i re download the apps, restore the phone and reload everything back onto it? Any suggestions/ ideas on what may be happening?

    Okay thank you very much, I will try doing that. I hope that it works.

    Thanks!  I didn't realize you could pull down to refresh and I missed the icon changes.
    I have one last related question if anyone has ideas... I use MS Exchange for email.  However, when I make updates to my calendar and contacts, it doesn't sync over the wireless network.  I have to shut down the apps and restart them to update them.  Sometimes the changes don't appear for days.  This is a real problem for a calendar.  Is there a way to force re-syncing to Exchange while in the app?
    Thanks

    Suggest  you restore to Factory Default and install one app at a time.
    Test it thoroughly before you install the next.

    Why does App Store always crash when I try to open the appliction?

    You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

  • Why does the App Store always crash

    Why does the app store always crash when I go to use the app genius on my ipod touch, it does it everytime. It even does it ocasionaly when I search for apps. Whats going on Apple. Please look into this or tell me how to turn genius off if thats what is causing the crashes, I can't find how to turn it off in the settings.

    The most usual explanation would be that you need to update or you have to many things taking up your memory

    Why can't I force an app to close in OS7?

    Yes you can. Double tap the home button in any of the home screens to access multitasking. Now swipe up the preview page of the app you want to close and you are done!

  • I'm in an app and it just randomly shuts down why?

    Hi ,
    When I'm playing a game or other type of app it just randomly closes the app half way through. I've done all updates and it still happens
    I've cleared some storage. Stil happens - are apple doing this so I upgrade and pay money for a newer version iPad?

    Force close all apps in multi-task window.
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • HT4993 Since i downloaded the 7 my phone turns off randomly, the screen freezes and it closes apps randomly

    Since downloading the ios7 my phone will freeze or just randomly turn off or an app i'm working in will randomly close. Anyone else having these problems?

    I would restore your device. Preferably with Itunes through a computer if you can. If not then settings>General>Reset>erase all content and settings. Save a backup if you need to through Icloud. That should clear up any software related issues.

  • Random app force close problems and other issues on Droid

    Has anyone seen droid apps randomly force close a lot lately? I bought the Droid and have been having constant problems after the initial update. 2.2 brought no comfort. Facebook video never worked, screen has been jumpy, lots of random app resets and force close problems showing up lately, and the 3G speeds which was about the only good thing about Verizon has become very slow lately. This thing is starting to make windows mobile 6x look good.
    This Droid device has seriously grown long in the tooth now. After nearly 10 yrs on verizon network, I'm seriously thinking of going back to AT&T for the iPhone or the new Windows 7 Phone. Anyone else feel that way about your Droid?

    Don't get me started with the Facebook app. Lets leave it at FAIL. But, yes. I've noticed it with maps, espescially if your in a moving vehicle when you open the app. Something about the gps and being in motion at the time. But, I've had it freeze from opening the camera to a few 3rd party apps. Very frustrating to the point that I'll take a regular phone AND a regular laptop, thank you. (<--not interested in renewing)

    Hello Mayar23,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with apps quitting unexpectedly.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching all the applications on your iPad:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting all the apps, I recommend restarting your iPad and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    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.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPad:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
