Resetting Crashed Apps in 3.0

In previous versions of the iPhone OS one could reset a crashed or frozen app by holding down the home button. Now that procedure causes the voice control screen to come up. Does anyone know how to escape from a frozen or crashed app in 3.0?

Hold down the power button until the red "Slide to Power Off" slider comes down. Do not slide it. Instead, once the slider has appeared, release the power button and hold down the home button until the app quits.

  • How can I get rid of the "Reset Search" app?

    I have a Macbook Pro and I run Mavericks OS X 10.9.5. There's an application in Launchpad called "Reset Search".See picture 1. I know this is part of the "Install Mac" adware, but I still can't find a way to get rid of it. I downloaded Adware Medic to try and remove the adware but it said that it couldn't find anything. I also tried a manual removal following the steps from http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-genieo/, where it says to remove the file "/private/etc/launchd.conf" but I can't find that file anywhere. I'm scared to continue because it says, "Failure to properly remove this file, if it is present, will result in your computer freezing and becoming unable to start up!" Also way before I knew this was adware I reset the browser settings a few times using the pop up. See Picture 2.

    Problem description:
    Accidentally downloaded the adware “Install Mac” and can’t get rid of it because I can’t find any traces of it, except for the “Reset Search” app on Launchpad.

  • Find crashing apps

    Does someone knows how to find crashing apps on your devise?? When I took my iPad to an Apple Store in Florida they found apps that make my iPad's battery drain, nnow I'm having the same issue and I don't know how to find those apps.
    IPad4 with retina display , iOS 8.1.2

    Did you check Settings/General/Usage/Battery and scroll down to find the apps listed that used your battery in the last 24 hours or the last 7 days?
    Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Maybe also take a look at this page about battery drainage

  • IPad (original) running 5.1.1 crashing apps

    Hoping someone can help. I have a second hand iPad 1 which was running fine until I updated it to 5.1.1. Now it crashes apps every couple of minutes and is basically unuseable. The app that crashes the most is actually Apples own app, the App Store. I see I am not the only one having this kind of problem. I have closed all open apps, "reset" using back and home buttons, and even restored the software before restoring the iPad from my backup. It still crashes. Unsure what to do next. Any ideas?

    Can I say, don't bother hoping that they can fix it?
    I've got my firmware restored 4 times, and the app store still crashes.
    But my iPad2 running on 5.1.1 doesn't seems to be having this issue.
    And so does my wife's iPad3.
    It gave me an impression that they wanted to abandon the original iPad support discreetly... unless someone can provide me a satisfactory answer AND a solution.

  • How can I reset messages.app?

    I'm going to be completely honest here, a while ago I spammed a friend to the point where I froze my own messages app on my mac and now when I try to re-open it the spinning colorful pinwheel just pops up and never stops. Yes I learned a lesson but I'd like to obviously use the app again so I was wondering how I can reset the app. Thanks for everyones support! 

    HI,
    I have never come across a situation like this.
    If you try to send a Super IM over the AIM service it normally will take a few minutes (literally) to come back with a  response that it has messed up
    I have not tried it with a Jabber service.
    There are ways of deleting one or some of the .plists involved that can cause a reset of sorts but these are normally used for other things.
    I have never had a Message "Stuck" in such a way that the App Hangs so that a .plist might have details of the IM it is sending.
    With Messages shut down open the Console app (In Applications/Utilities)
    In the System Diagnostic Reports do you have anything for Messages
    It may look like this

    This Hang was for only 3 and a bit secs  (yours will probably list a longer period).
    Now go to the All Messages section of Console and try starting Messages.
    Do you get additional info (there may be a reveal triangle to open) ?
    Things to try.  (one at a time)
    Use the Finder > Go Menu > Hold ALT key > Select Library method to open the Home Folder/Library (That is normally invisible)
    Open Preferences.
    In here find the following .plists
    com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist
    com.apple.ichat.Jabber.plist
    com.apple.imagent.plist
    If it was an AIM Message try deleting (Drag to Trash) the AIM one.
    If Jabber (GoogleTalk or Facebook or other) they try the Jabber one.
    After the deletion restart Messages.
    If deleting the service .plist did not work try deleting com.apple.imagent.plist
    If it happens to be an iMessages IM then delete both of these
    com.apple.imessage.bag.plist
    com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist
    You will need to restart Messages again.  The second of these is likely to need you to re-enter your Apple ID.
    To be clear.
    Qith Messages shut down then Delete one .plist (AIM or Jabber)
    Restart Messages.
    If it does not work shut down (force Quit) Mesages
    Remove the  imagent .plist
    Restart Messages.
    If a iMessages conversation then delete both .plists and restart Messages (you may need to re-enter your Apple ID)

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID.

  • NSCFString crash app when secondary used

    Hello! NSCFString from plist crash my program when i using it in the second time. I have cocos2d project (attach) with one scene and one object. And one .plist file
    HelloWorldLayer.h & .m (instantiate from CCLayer)
    NodeObject.h & .m (instantiate from CCNode)
    Test.plist
    In NodeObject i have one local string and two method
    @interface NodeObject : CCNode
        NSString *stringForPrint;
    -(void)createObjWithString:[NSString *)string;
    -(void)printString;
    In this both method we print string obtained in parameter string
    -(void)createObjWithString:[NSString *)string
        stringForPrint = string;
        NSLog(@"NodeObject.createObjWithString stringForPrint >> %@", stringForPrint);
    -(void)printString
        NSLog(@"NodeObject.printString stringForPrint >> %@", stringForPrint);
    Plis content is one array with one dictionary whit item type string.
    Root
    -TestArray <Array>
    --item 0 <Dictionary>
    ---type <String> == "This is string from plist"
    For test, into the scene i'm create NodeObject and get dada from plist. And print this string. It's work correctly.
    if ([testDictionary objectForKey:@"TestArray"]) {
                for (NSDictionary *tempItemData in [testDictionary objectForKey:@"TestArray"]) {                //It's cool work. True string from plist.
                    NSLog(@"type form plist in for loop > %@", [tempItemData objectForKey:@"type"]);            }
    I create my NodeObject into the loop. And it's work again.
    if ([testDictionary objectForKey:@"TestArray"]) {
                for (NSDictionary *tempItemData in [testDictionary objectForKey:@"TestArray"]) {
                    NodeObject *testObj = [NodeObject node];
                    //and send it string from plist
                    [testObj createObjWithString:[tempItemData objectForKey:@"type"]];
    BUT! if i have tried use this string in the printString method form NodeObject, app will crash without log. [testObj printString]; //crash app
    I have check object from plist using:
        NSLog(@"Description %@ and class %@",[[tempItemData objectForKey:@"type"]description],    [[tempItemData objectForKey:@"type"]class]);
    I repeat. Object creation with manual string work. If using string from plist it's crash. I broke my head. And only in the second method. In the createObjWithStrig it work.
        //Work
        NodeObject *testObj = [NodeObject node];
        [testObj createObjWithString:@"manual string object"];
        [testObj printString]; // Print correct string
        //Crash
        NodeObject *testObj = [NodeObject node];
        [testObj createObjWithString:[tempItemData objectForKey:@"type"]];
        [testObj printString]; //Crash here
