Why do I keep getting an error message that my contacts have stopped working

Sometimes, I am getting an error message that says that my contacts have quit working. Also sometimes I can't use my phone because the same error message appears when I tap the phone icon.
Turning the phone off and on again sometimes helps, other times not.
I tried a reboot, but that did not seem to make any difference.
Help? Ideas?
Thanks!

I have a similar experience with getting the message that my contacts have stopped. Here is my experience in resolving the issue.
1. Phone: Motorola RAZR MAXX HD 24 GB of 32 GB free.
2. OS; Android 4.4.2
3. Message "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped"
4. Possible cause: Contacts stops working when either Verizon Cloud or Backup Assistant try to synchronize with their respective online storage systems. Also, neither APP managed to properly identify all my contacts. Cloud only backed up 13 of over 600 contacts. Backup Assistant Plus only backup up 360 of over 600 contacts.
5. Resolution: I disabled both APPs after clearing their respective cache and data. Then I cleared the data and cache for Contacts. Assuming your have a Gmail account for your Android device, Google will repopulate your contacts from the web based email account. So, nothing is lost and no damage is done. This was my experience.
6. Lesson learned: On my phone, and perhaps others, the Cloud and Backup Assistant are corrupted, or have bugs, and produce errors which interfere with the operation of Contacts when they try to synchronize, even imperfectly. Clearing the data from Contacts, and disabling the two Verizon APPS, resulted in restoration of the Contacts function.
7. Verizon's response: Verizon technical support pronounced itself mystified by the information presented here. So far, after two days, they have not responded with either a diagnosis or a fix.
8. My Expectations: I don't really expect Verizon to do anything at this point. I do have working contacts, and they are preserved via my Gmail account, so I have a working solution. It just doesn't involve Verizon software.

I keep getting an error message that Adobe reader has stopped working.

I have re-booted, I have un-installed and re-installed andI still can't open a PDF attachment nor can I change a Word doc into a PDF.

Windows 7 Professional. I meant that when I open a word doc and want to turn it into a PDF, i get the same error message. In the mean time I paid the $40.00 and spoke to Adobe and after 40 minutes, they re-installed Reader X instead of XI so now it works but I am not overly thrilled that I had to pay for it.

Why do I keep getting an error message that reads "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."

Whenever I click on a link that opens a new tab using "about:tab", an error pops up. The error box is titled "Alert" and the message reads "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."
However, once I click OK, the page loads just fine. At first, I thought it might be one of my add-ons (Iuse a bunch), but it still occurs after restarting in Safe Mode. Any thoughts?
I can even create the problem without clicking on a link inside a page if I simply type about:tab in the address bar.
I am using Firefox 12.0

Wow! I actually solved this on my own. I didn't find any thread that helped, but after reading a few, I figured poking around in about.config would help... and it did!
Here is how I solved the problem:
# Typed '''about:config''' in address bar.
# When I got to the warning about voiding the warranty, clicked '''I'll be careful, I promise!'''
# I found the setting entitled '''browser.newtabl.url''' (use the '''Search:''' box).
# I double-clicked on the entry entitled '''browser.newtabl.url''' and deleted the info in the value portion.
# Clicked '''OK'''.
# Closed the tab.
# Restarted Firefox and problem was solved.

Kind of hard to answer without some details such as iPhoto version and OS version. Are you signed into your Facebook account?

Why do I keep getting an error message saying that I need to check my internet connection when I try to listen to Radio? I ran diagnostics and my internet connection is fine. I can also access iTunes Store no problem??

Why do I keep getting an error message "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service.Check your internet connection or try again later." This happens when I am trying to listen to Radio (obviously). I ran diagnostics and it said my internet connection was good. I can also connect to the iTunes Store with no problem. Any ideas?

Hi,
Maybe the radio connection on the other end is not working. Hope this helps.

HT1539 Why Do I keep getting an error message telling me "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." whenever I try to redeem my digital copy code for "Oz The Great and Powerful"?

Why Do I keep getting an error message telling me "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." whenever I try to redeem my digital copy code for "Oz The Great and Powerful"?

I had the same problem so I decided to try going to website on the back. (DisneyOzMovieandOffers.com). It will take you to a page that says to redeem code, enter the code that is given to you and click enter. It will give you options of where you would like to download it from. Click iTunes and it will give you the correct code to download the movie from iTunes.

I find the Air easier to work with if I need a keyboard if, for no other reason, that's more compact to carry around than the iPad and a keyboard, even one that is part of an iPad case. I also often have to access data from one application when using another, and iOS is not at its best when having to do rapid application switching (Command-Tab switching is a lot faster than the double press home, scroll the icons at the bottom and swap).
As well, for editing I find the lack of sandboxing on OSX allows for efficiency enhancing utilities across applications, something you don't get in iOS. I understand the reason for that, but while more secure it also creates issues of its own in terms of usability in a number of situations.
I prefer the iPad for totally single application focused situations where little or no input is required. I use my iPad to hold copies of manuals when I'm doing a full day continuing education presentation for CPAs. A MacBook Aire can't really fill in very easily for that usage.
I see them each as tools appropriate for different jobs.

I keep getting an error message that my computer needs to be shut down. It is like a dark screen comes down and I have to hold the on button until it shuts down. Why is this happening?

I keep getting an error message that my cmputer needs to be shut down. A dark screen comes down and it says to restart. I have to hold the ON button until the computer shuts down. Then I can restart and it says it is sending a report to Apple. This seens to be happening a lot lately. Has anyone else had this problem?
