When quitting applications, sometimes they just keep reopening endlessly.

Ever since upgrading to OSX mavericks on my MBP I have had an issue where sometimes certain applications won't quit. Whether going through the menu, or in the dock, the app will quit then immediately reopen, bouncing up on the dock. An endless loop. Happens with most applications but not all the time. Sometimes the program will quit eventually after going through this loop maybe 5 or 6 times. Sometimes they just wont quit until I manually shut down the laptop.

System Preferences/General - is close windows checked?

Welcome to Apple Communities
Press Command and R keys in boot and reinstall

Can't believe that I can't run movie videos simultaneously on my ipad. Just spent all weekend trying to do it. Downloaded 2 Apps but they just keep freezing. Come on apple this must be easy!

Can't believe that I can't run music videos simultaneouslly on ipad. ust spent 2 days trying to do it. Downloaded 2 Apps but they just keep freezing. Come on Apple this must be easy to fix!

first then this is a user helping forum only users like you read or write here if you want apples ear
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
other then that it's unclear what you are trying to do or if it's 1 or 2 things
playing music videos simultaneously would imply you trying to play more then 1 at once, this is not something it support out of the box I'd say.
then there is the 2 apps, are you refearing to apps which should let play many music videos at once?
and do they freeze when you try to download them, or when you try to start them,
and maybe the name of the apps, in question would make it easier for people to help.

Why does every new download create new problems-is every user so advanced to be able to play tech-techs do not seem to get most either,they just keep playing wi

Every time something gets downloaded I loose something else or it makes unwanted changes with other things that were working fine but now are not. I am just a regular user with a PC and I am seeing techs do not know much about how to fix stuff either, they just keep playing with buttons until something happens hopefully for the better. It took me 2 days and several hours to figure out how to set up the Firefox download and now it suddenly recreated itself to a whole new look and I have to start all over again to fix it. Firefox works so much faster than my Internet Explorer but the Explorer is more user friendly and so much more simple to use. In the middle of all this my Windows Media Player did some kind of upgrade and now my Library looks like an Alien rewrote it to suit themselves. Push the wrong button and bye bye all my favorite stuff or it is rearranged and all separated out, lots of my stuff is mp3 seminars, not music and those are not even recognizable by the new downloads. Why is every new download more INVASIVE than the last. How about some basic standards & share? And look at what is in the box just below this one!!! What does that even mean? And No I do not want you to AUTOMATICALLY add anything/what and then open this & click on Allow /Install???? What will that interfere with? You need ordinary people users to be working with you to see if they can figure out what you are talking about? I used to love using my computer, too many changes one one top of the other is getting very annoying and expensive to fix. Keep it SIMPLE. Not everyone is a computer Nerd. And PS: How about some remote help or maybe that is a remote chance of help? And maybe I just wasted another 20mins writing this and only a computer will read it.......HELLO....IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?

Thank you for proving my point brilliantly. For the moment, I shall keep my rantings and the difficulties to myself because you obviously can not handle a bit of user's frustration. Too bad really, that you can not see it as an opportunity to make improvements and be a Hero in the process. I did say that Firefox works much faster, why did you not take that personally as well? ............. Another day, Slick ! ...........

Odds are only someone that develops apps for iOS would have access to whatever this is and, even then, this information may still not be available.
I would do a backup of your phone & then erase it and restore from the backup to see if the odd behavior goes away. If so, something went funny with your update the first time around. If not, there's something in your backup that's making the phone throw a fit.
I resolved my battery issues (more or less) by disabling the "set date/time automatically" setting. I haven't re-enabled it yet but my battery life has been much better with it off.

HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back. Very frustrating !!

Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password. This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

Hi I have just got back from the apple store and the guy at the Genius bar looked at it and said it was a manufacturing fault, and because it has been like it since new, and seemed to be getting worse he replaced the computer and I have a new warranty from today.
We got the feeling as soon as he looked at it that he has seen this before, I did say to him I was concerned it would be a replacement screen and I was not really happy about that as it was so new, and he said that was the normal procedure, but as the fault was already there at new and it was getting worse they would replace. I could not have asked for a better service.
Not unpacked this one yet but am hoping all is good, its a great little machine.
Thank you for your responses, and I hope this might help someone else. One thing it did not seem to be missing pixels but something to do with the screen production?

That's a Micrisoft product, not an Apple one, so you'll probably do better to post in the MS user-to-user forums here:
Office for Mac forums
Be sure to tell them which version of Office:Mac you have.

How do I delete all my contacts and folders to start off new again as they just keep on coming back all the time?

How do I delete all my contacts and folders to start off new again as they just keep on coming back all the time after deleted?
Is there an email address for better communication as this way I find extremely difficult?

check your account settings, possibly under advanced settings.
look for an option to check "remove messages from server" or similar.

When a buy a song from itunes it goes to my phone but sometimes they just dont play at all, i click on them and it shows that it is there but never plays how can i fix this cause it is wasting my money??

So some songs that i buy from itunes work fine others however dont. They show up on my phone but i cant get them to play. How can i fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Sometimes my apps won't load on my iPad 2, they just keep saying wait anyone know why this happens.

It will just say waiting instead of actually loading my apps, sometimes for days. Why does this happen.

When a download is interrupted, it sits there and blocks everything in line behind it. You need to find a good connection, then allow that original download to complete. Try logging into the store from your computer, and see if it will download there.

Where does my trash go its always empty when i delete files they just disappear and trash is always empty no good if i delete something by mistake !!

can anyone tell me ??

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Error when quitting application

Hi there:
I just published a program that will serve as an instrument
to an experiment. All went fine except on the last screen.
On the last screen there is some text telling them that
they're done and to press the "quit" button to end the exercise.
Upon this, an error message pops up saying "Cannot complete
CMI operation b/c the CMI Scripting Xtra was not found or could not
be initiated"
Then there is a continue button or an ignore all other errors
button.
The program then closes and there are no other problems.
Can someone help removing this error message from the
published file?
The calculation I'm using on the quit button is Quit(0).
Thanks

Include the pwint x32 file, or uncheck Knowledge Track in the
CMI tab of
file properties, then republish.

TS4002 my mailboxes on my Mac are freaking out, I cannot shut them and they just keep the little wheel spinning. I am able to access my Yahoo and Gmail accounts via web browser but the mail system seems to be frozen.

I am having difficulty with my mail function on my MacBook Pro. The mail function is not shutting down and continues to try and access the mail accounts that I have set up in Yahoo and Gmail. Now I am unable to close the application. I forced a close last night when I powered down.
I can access my Gmail and Yahoo through web browsers.

Hello OP8,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Mac OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411
To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or press Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Best of luck,

When opening siri sometimes it just beeps other times it does nothing???

When I hold down the home button, sometimes siri comes up and beeps and works as it should. Other times, it comes up but does nothing, not even allow me to tap the mic... Is that a lag to connect to the Apple servers or? I can't seem to faithfully recreate the rpoblem to properly diagnose the issue. Help?

I am having a similar issue. My 4s exhibits the same behavior. But, in my case this only happens when I'm on my home wifi (Airport Extreme with AT&T Uverse). AT&T 3g works fine, my office wifi works fine as well (Airport Extreme with Comcast Business Cable Internet). I called Apple and they told me the usual, reset network settings, restore as new, blah..... Tried all. I think it may be a firewall setting. I'm gonna call Apple again tomorrow.

When quitting applications, sometimes they just keep reopening endlessly.
