Why do all my apps automatically shut down as soon as I open them?

Whenever I open any app on my ipad (netflix, skype, Kayak) they automatically. What can i do?

Have you tried a 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.

Multiple apps shutting down as soon as I open them up?

My Facebook, Instagram, Yelp, and Spotify will not open. They flash open when I click on them but then disappear. I have cleared all my open apps--nothing is sitting open and I tried a hard reset. Nothing seems to work. Problem been going on for about 20 hours. Ideas?

There's no such thing as "hard reset", unless you mean you erased the phone and started over.
If you did a "reset" by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appeared, did you do this before closing all of the apps or after? If you did it before, then close all of the apps again, THEN reset the phone. If the problem persists you either have a corrupted copy of iOS on the phone, the phone is jailbroken, or you have a hardware problem. The following diagnostic steps can narrow it down:
If the phone is jailbroken, end of story. You are on your own.
Restore the phone using iTunes, and restore your backup when prompted. Does the problem still exist? If so, try the next step.
Restore the phone using iTunes, and DO NOT restore your backup. Set up as a new phone and install a couple of apps.
Is the problem gone? If it is, you have a corrupted backup, and will have to manually restore your content rather than restoring the backup.
If the problem is still present you have a hardware problem. Take the phone to an Apple store for diagnosis. Make an appointment first.

Apps automatically shutting down

All too often my iPad apps automatically shut down. For a second or two the screen goes black, then it restarts at the home screen. What can I do to stop this annoying problem?

Hi ronhaus,
If force quitting the app doesen't work, try reseting the iPad (different from restarting). Hold down on both the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the issue you're experiencing.
Hope this answers your question!

Runtime error R6025 Pure virtual function call....the program shuts down as soon as its opened

iTunes shuts down as soon as it is opened. Message says Runtime error R6025. pure virtual function call. What is this and can it be fixed???

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 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 a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turing off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

as soon as i open itunes windows automatically shuts it down ive tried un-installing all apple products off my computer and re-installing but no joy ive deleted any software that i think may have corrupted it, and even tried running in safe mode but still the problem is there any help would be appricated

Can you open QuickTime Player? Do you see a number or any other error messages when iTunes fails to open?
What does the Windows Error Report look like? Try clicking more info after the problem occurs or look at Problem History in Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel (May be in Windows Action Center).
You could try running iTunes in a new user account, like this Apple article says -> iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

HT1199 My apps are shutting down when I try to save them. What's happening?

I can open a new document on Word, Pages or Textedit but everytime I write something and I click save, it immediately gives me the spinning wheel and I have to force quit it.

Re: Simple fix for the Preview and TextEdit Crash after Lion OS X Update
15 juil. 2012 11:41 (in response to Silvertoe)
There is a simple solution for annoying Preview crashes (at least, with Mac OSX 10.7+ Lion OS).
Open terminal:
cd # make sure you are in your home directory
then " hide" the com.apple.preview folder found in your Library/Containers folder :
mv Library/Containers/com.apple.preview Library/Containers/com.apple.preview.hiding
You will notice that the next time you open Preview, the com.apple.preview folder will be automatically recreated, and your problem is solved.
The same should work for TextEdit.
Many of the work arounds in this thread are doing the same thing, indirectly.
If you are a command line ace, you can just remove the folder. But it is preferable to "hide" a folder before removing it to check the effect anyway."
It applies to Lion, so all the part about showing your Library is moot, but it points at some plist files becoming corrupted for some reason. You could try to delete the plist files related to the applications you named in your ~/Library/Preferences folder (without said applications running, that goes without saying), and relaunch Word, TextEdit or Pages.
Since all three are text processor applications, your problem could be solved by repairing permissions, too.

I have downloaded latest version of photosp cc 2014. I have tried to start trial but it is shut down as soon as it opens.

The last few days Firefox, Safari and Chrome have all been going to "not responding" as soon as I open them. Has anyone else been having such a problem??

IE8 is the only browser that seems to be working. Does anyone know what is going on??

I understand that after using Firefox for a while there are some issues with speed. [[Firefox is slow - How to make it faster]]

My iTunes app keeps shutting me out each time I open it. What is going on and how can I fix it?

IMovie automatically shuts down

my imovie app automatically shuts down - first thing that pops up is "The previous attempt to open this movie failed, do you want to ignore it? No Yes are my options. What ever I click, it still automatically closes imovie.

Hello, PDJAMC,
Welcome to the discussions.
Yes, you need to have enough drive space for iMovie to work. At least 25 GB free space is recommended. How much do you have? Are you creating iMovies on an external drive? If so, is it Mac-formatted?
Whenever iMovie acts up, it is a good idea to trash its preference file. Close iMovie. Go to YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
If you also have iMovie 8 installed, be sure to locate the plist that is just imovie. iMovie 8's plist actually says 'imovie7'
Drag this plist to the trash. Reopen iMovie and see if it is better now.
You can also try repairing permissions on your drive, using Disk Utility.
If nothing helps, post back for more suggestions.

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:

Motion 4 automatically shutting down

Greetings Too All
I still have the "Motion 4" on the Mac OS X ver10.5.8 FCP Studio7.
Which shuts down as soon as I open a motion template,can anyone assist me on what's going on?..
"It would be Greatly Appreciated"

Have you done the battery update? About Battery Update 1.2.
I had this happen to me but at 23%. Apple replaced my battery with no problem. If your MacBook is the original core duo which it sounds as it is then you are in luck. The battery for the original has had it's warranty extended an extra year. Even if you MacBook warranty is dead the batteries isn't. If the update doesn't work contact Apple at the number listed in the update.
One point is be firm but polite. I had no problems getting mine but others have had to argue some to get the battery replaced.

HT4061 my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

Hi there,
This seems very frustrating. An iPad can shut down randomally for many reasons, just like a computer can crash. If it begins to happen regularly, then do contact Apple, but there are no signs that your iPad is malfunctioning from just one shut down like this.
But, you should be able to get all your in-app purchases back. In some apps, there is a 'restore purchases' button, which will download all the purchases you made for free.
In some cases, you can tap to make the purchase again, and it will be downloaded at no charge, however this does not happen with consumable items such as coins and credits.
I reccomend contacting iTunes Store Support at the link below, they will take a closer look at your purchases and give you further steps on redeeming them. They may also refund you if they have been lost.
iTunes Store Support
You can also contact the developer of the app, and report the crash and missing purchases. If you tell me the app, I'll give you the relevent contact in the developers.
Other than that, sorry for the problems, and have a great day,
Nathan

Dreaded Black Screen and automatic shut-down. Why does this happen ?

Why do I get a Black Screen and automatic shut-down ? My iMac felt warm...and I never hear a fan go on..could overheating be why it shuts down?

Hi Tish,
A few things.
If you bough this iMac used with no original install/hardware test discs, you can call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE ask for software sales and tell them you need a set of iMac replacement install/hardware test discs. You'll need to give the Apple rep your iMac's serial number.to get the appropriate discs. There will be around a $16 or $17 U.S. charge for discs.
Since your iMac is still freezing, I now wonder if it is RAM and/or hard drive related.
Your iMac maybe freezing because of serious lack of RAM.
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
You only have 1 GB of RAM installed.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard really needs more RAM than this.
Intel versions of OS X use more CPU, GPU, RAM and hard drive resources.
OS X, running alone (without any other applications running) can use up between 2 and 4 GBs of RAM memory.
Youf iMac model can 4 GBs of RAM, but only about 3.1 to 3.3 GBs of it will be recognized.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Without being able to run the Apple hardware test we have no way of knowing the condition of your iMac's hard drive.
The freezing could, also, be caused from a failing hard drive.
If you do not have any backup of your data, this is the time to create one.
Backup your important data to either DVD discs, flash drive/s or purchase an external hard drive to backup all,of your data to.
You can make an exact clone of the data, on your internal hard drive, using a data cloning like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. OR purchase the external drive and use OS X Time Machine to automatically backup your entire internal drive.

Apps are automatically shut down...

Iphone 4S has developed a frustrating problem - All my apps, be it Facebook, Sky News, Music, Games, Google Maps, automatically shut down...A blank screen appears and it is so frustrating! I've tried everything; for example:
Exiting and restarting the app
Restarting the phone (leaving it off for a few minutes)
Un-installing and re-installing the app
Installing a free app to re-authenticate my itunes account
Updating the app
Updating my phone's software
Resetting my iPhone
Pushing the on/off and the main button at the same time to reset
Nothing works. It can't be a fault with the app as it's happening to most of my apps.
So frustrated!! Especially since I'm weeks away from upgrading to a new phone and am nervous to update to iPhone 6 in case it gives the same problems.
Please help!
Thank you

So you mean that in the "Settings -> Location Services" you see active purple arrows? Unless you also are seeing an active purple arrow on the icon bar at the top of the phone (next to the bluetooth icon), then those apps are not actively using location services. The arrows in the settings menu just mean they have used active location services within the past 24 hours (there is an apple KB article about it).

Why do all my apps automatically shut down as soon as I open them?
