Why does iPad crash when I open Mail app?

My iPad crashes (returns to home screen) each time I open the Mail app. Mail opens for just two seconds, then crashes.
All updates are current on Mac and iPad. I have synced the iPad with my Mac and power-cycled the iPad but nothing helps.
Can I delete and reload just the Mail app? If so, how is that done?
Or do I need connect the iPad to my Mac and do a full Restore of my iPad?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

1. Delete the mail account from your iPad
2. Clean out your mail server. This is typically the webmail from your mail service provider.
3. Readd the account.
Even if you clear out the server, if the account isn't deleted and readded only when the server is clean then the iPad will still try to download the email.
As I wrote earlier:
I have reinstalled my email account twice I got my iPad three weeks ago then and today the problem has risen again.
It may be a solution here and now but I don't find it reasonable that we have to delete and reenter our account info every time we need to use our mail app.
Already from the start there were problems; the mail app froze and I had to restart my iPad...2-3 times during the first couple of days. Normally I am a type who takes this rather casual but I do not think Apple wants us to reinstall our mail account every couple of days, huh? ;o)

Why does Firefox crash when I open Adobe, Firefox & all plug ins including Adobe are up to date and current, WHY?

Firefox crashes when I open Adobe (pdf) ALL plug ins are up to date as is FF

This is a known issue with Adobe Reader, and it depends on Adobe updating their plugin.
Whilst you're waiting for Adobe to fix their plugin, you can disable it and fallback to the default PDF reader in Firefox by following these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Why does iPhoto crash when I open the preferences?

Whenever I try to open the preferences in iPhoto (latest release) it crashes. Any suggestions?

I completely uninstalled the printer and drivers and restarted the computer. I then uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1, restarted the computer and then reinstalled the printer (from the previously downloaded exe file, because I don't have the CD for the printer). Unfortunately, neither of those things worked, but I did notice that when I uninstalled Firefox, it asked if I wanted to save settings, and I said yes and it seemed to remember the Dell 720 printer in the "about:config" menu. So, maybe uninstalling Firefox without saving settings would make a difference. What do you think? Also, I just noticed in the "Add or Remove Programs" menu in control panel that the icon next to "Dell Photo Printer 720" is a little recycle bin, which seems a bit odd. On the dell.com forum, someone suggested using Firefox 5.0.1, available at a different website. Is this worth a shot or are there other more conservative troubleshooting suggestions to try first?

Why does encore crash when I open a project made on enocre 1.5?

When I try to open Encore 1.5 projects into encore cs5 crashes. I'm running it on a intel xeon Mac Pro Has anybody got good answer? I would like to open old projects. The old projects were made in Encore 1.5 (windows, of course). I can import the menus and old avi files created in Pro 1.5 perfectly. Any answers?
Everything else in encore cs5 runs smoothly other than every once in a wile when I try to open Encore CS5 while running Pro CS5 while Pro CS5 is captureing HDV Encore hangs up and I have to do a force quit on encore. Then I have to shut down the computer and turn it back on to clear up the problem. I'm able to ge this to happen every time. So for future note to all on a Mac already have encore open then you can capture HDV in pro wile working in encore.

Remember, I was only guessing on that compatibility, but I've read of similar issues, without the X-platform aspect. Maybe Jeff, or another user, who's used many versions of En can reply.
Between you and me, I'd be more inclined to reconstruct (as you say, the PSD's can be reused), rather than try and sort out incompatibilities, and force things to work. For me, the Menus are the most labor-intensive part of an En Project. Where those exist, even if you need to Edit in Photoshop a bit, I'd start from scratch, just using the earlier Project as my guideline. I think that you might actually make less work for yourself in the end.
In my one Project to fail, I just started over (had most Assets just sitting already), and rebuilt. It worked the second time around, and I never bothered to find out what MY error was in the one that failed. Easier to redo, than troubleshoot.
Good luck, and let us know that everything works perfectly.

Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this

Iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise?

My iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise? This is only happeining in the last few days I cannot use facebook on my iphone it crashes and slows down our network/wifi, is this a problem with facebook (latest version downloaded) or OS which is 6.1.3 - anyone any solutions? Thanks

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't work quit the Facebook app. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then delete the Facebook app and download it again.

When I open Mail.app, iCal opens as well...

When I open Mail.app, iCal opens as well - there are no prefs that I can find to turn this off... it started a while ago.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Rico

MailTags will open iCal by default when launching Mail. This can be turned off in the MailTags Preferences. Open Mail's prefs, locate the MailTags Preferences (you may need to click >> in the top right) and select the calendar tab.

Everything else seems to be working fine, except i can't open my mac mail at all! it seems to be in a loop and won't let me retrieve any mail or even try to send mail before migrating, but it fails and then its back to the beginning and the same loop continues, so no mac mail working. I also came from 10.6.8 to 10.10

Why does iPad crash

How do I fix iPad when it crashes.

Usually an iPad crashes when an app has an error, or if an app puts more demands on your device than it can handle.
If it's an app, give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple and it reboots. That can clear glitches.

HT204088 Why does AppStore crash when I try to return to Utilities category after viewing a second or third app (AppStore quits ,iPad (1.1) goesto home page with AppStore on it. 20+ of 32GB available, 28 apps installed, iOS 5.1.1 (says sw "up to date")

My ipad(1.1) jumps out of Appstore after I've viewed 2or 3 apps, seems to be happening more often now. It returns to the page the Appstore icon is on. When I select Appstore again, it opens on the page of the last app downloaded, then I can return and browse Utilities category until next crash. It has 20+ GB available of 32GB, 28 apps installed, I don't use iTunes. I don't know what OS is installed, it's not cellular enabled. I haven't checked other categories and unsure if reducing open browser tabs affects the problem, possibly lets Appstore run longer before crashing. It always crashes when I attempt to return to the category. OSVersion is 5.1.1, Update Check says software is up to date. It has crashed if I scroll thru the pages of apps too fast.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "I/O error"
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
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.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.

Why does iPad crash so often?

In the middle of playing games or checking Facebook, my iPad crashes and goes back to home page. It does the same thing when I try to share pictures on Facebook. I went to the Apple store today and they helped me backup everything and then completely reset my iPad. The crashes are still happening. Does this mean I need a new iPad?? I don't know what else to do.

Do you have an iPad 1? If you have a newer iPad you need to update to iOS 7.1.

Why does Freehand crash right after opening?

I've been working on a FH mx document on my imac with OS 10.6.2. It's 30 some pages and I'm in the process of converting it from English to French. All was going relatively well until about page 25 when suddenly it crashed. I tried to reopen and FH crashed on opening. Transferred the file to my old mac, opened the file fine and resaved it, transferred it back. It opens now, but as soon as I move the page over to the right (left seems ok), it crashes again. When I try resizing using keyboard command 0, it does that but as soon as I try another, say command 2, it crashes. I've removed all fonts from the USER > LIBRARY > FONTS file. I've tried rebooting. I've tried resaving the file when it opens before moving anything. I tried opening the file through Freehand Clip art viewer as someone had suggested, still crashed. I haven't changed any fonts in the document. The English version opens no problem. I haven't changed any of the photos or any graphics in the document, just the text.
Any suggestions anyone???
thanks
Monika

I don't have an answer but another crash on launch issue. I hava new 27 inch imac running Snow leopard 10.6.2. I got FreeHand 11 running great for the last two weeks. I always got an error on launch saying " Colors picker error. " Invalid color file. I click OK and it worked anyways. Today FreeHand launches and then quits when I click OK on the error. I reinstalled freeHand with no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Why does Aperture crash when importing modified image into Photoshop CS2?

I have been using Aperture 2.1.4 for the past 2 years and really like the interface. But, I've had one nagging problem: I begin by scanning all of my slides with the Nikon Coolscan 4000 and save them as large tiff files @ approx. 55mb each. I then import each slide with a custom color profile into Aperture. I then optimize the image including white balance, levels, and color adjustments. When I want to make additional changes that I'm not able to do in Aperture, I attempt to send the image to Photoshop CS2 for further processing. But, at this point, Aperture crashes. After this, I get a message saying "do you want to re-open Aperture or quit?" Additionally, I often get the message "Aperture has applied new settings. Do want to keep these new settings or use the original settings?" Since I don't know what will happen if I choose "use the new settings," I always select "keep the original settings." And, when I open Aperture again and try, again, to send the image to Photoshop CS2 to edit, Aperture crashes again. Has anyone had the same or similar problem who can give me some ideas of how to solve this issue! Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!
It sounds like there may be a permissions issue between the two apps, Aperture using one and PS another.
1. Are you logged in as an administrator?
You need to be.
2. Where is your library stored, is it in the picture folder of your user directory?
If so moving it in to the general area of your MacHD may help get over some of these issues.
3. Have you run any of the Ap First Aid steps? Have a read of this page;
Ap2
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
Ap3
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
4. Is it possible that the upgrade to Ap3 would get you around the need to jump into PS?
Start with these ones and then come back letting us know how you go.
