Why does my iphone crash each time I start a new app?

A couple of weeks ago, my iPhone (4S, newest iOS), started crashing I'd say once every four times I try to open an app. I'll open the app and within a second- the screen goes black, the white wheel comes up and it goes back to the lock screen.
I've tried powering off and restarting, but still doing it.
Any idea of what I should try next?
Thanks!

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.

Why does Lion open everything each time I start my MacBook?

Every time I turn on my MacBook, Lion opens my calendar, email, my virtual computer, etc. Each time I shutdown, I uncheck "Reopen windows when logging back in". The next time I startup, all is well, but then the next time I shutdown, the "Reopen windows...." boxed is checked again. I never want my windows (especially my virtual computer) to open automatically. I'll open them when I need them. Why do I have to remember to uncheck the box each and every time I shut down? Isn't there a way to answer this once and leave it that way?

One more thing:
Go to (User) ~/Library/Saved Application State Folder
(user library is now hidden; to unhide, hold Option key and go to Go menu > Library will now be visible)
Select all content in that folder and move to Trash.
Right click (or Command + I) to "Get Info" window.
Unlock lock > input your admin password
Click the Locked option here:
Lock lock at bottom of window.
Doing this will lock the folder so nothing can be written to it. There haven't been any entries and I haven't noticed the Resume feature since I did that (although I still uncheck the box in the shutdown dialog....that, unfortunately, is still present).

Why does iMovie 11 crash each time I try to alter length of dissolve in picture in picture?

Please Help me.....I am loosing the will with this, and on a work placement in Italy so I cannot visit my local apple store

Hi
As You provide near zero info - only wild guesses are possibly
• iMovie Pref. file got corrupted (most common origins to trouble)
• material (Video/Codec) used doesn't function OK with iMovie e.g. H.264 etc
• Repair Permissions - sometimes helps
• FREE SPACE - on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk are to low - I never go under 25Gb free space
But there are zillions of possibly culprits - so without very specific info I guess that it's very hard to be of much help.
My main trouble shooting list follows.
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

Why does my iphone restart every time I try moving an app across the screen

Since updating to the iOS6 last night, any time I hold an app down to make it wiggle, to move it to another screen-- it lets me do so, then when I press the home button to make them stop wiggling --- it simple restarts the iPhone and when it comes back on, it's exactly how it was BEFORE I moved anything. Holding down the top button and home button at the same time, also no longer gives me the option to turn off/restart my phone. What is going on.

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

ITunes 11.0.2 crashes each time i try running/syncing app after connecting to the iPad mini.

Dear all,
I have been experiencing this problem ever since I updated my iPad mini to the latest iOS 6.1.3. So after the update, I tried accessing my iPad apps using iTunes to put in some PDFs into the Adobe Reader app. Each time I pressed on the app, iTune freezes and crashed. And this is the report I have for my problem from Windows.

I have never experienced this before and my iphone 4, still on iOS 6.1.2 is still able to load the apps perfectly with iTunes.
I have tried installing/uninstalling iTunes. Deleted the music/playlists in my iTunes folder. Restoring my iPad to previous backup.
But all have failed.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem or had this problem before? Please provide me some suggestions/help because it's getting really annoying being unable to load/sync my apps.
Thank you very much!

Dear Tom,
I have tried reseting the ipad as well but it didn't help. iTunes still crash each time i tried syncing the apps.
I authorized my friend's laptop to sync things into my iPad and it worked. I think the problem is with my computer but I dont know what went wrong because I never had this problem before.
I also did sfc/scannow with cmd but doesn't seem to solve the problem.
Any more ideas?
Thank you!

Why does my iphone6 freeze each time I access my mail accounts and reverts to homepage

Why does my iphone 6 freeze each time I access my mail accounts? This new phone is hopeless

Why does photo application open each time I sync Iphone to Itunes.

got a question, I have taken a few pictures on my iphone already.
everytime I plug my iphone into my mac via usb it syncs and automatically opens up the photo application on my mac. Is there any way to not have it do this each time?

It's opening because the computer sees the iPhone as a camera and there are pictures in your camera roll. You can change the setting in iPhoto as noted above, but if you do, remember to open iPhoto occasionally and download the photos to your photo library so you don't lose them if something happens to your phone.

Why Does iTunes 6 crash every time I try to open it????

I'm ready to tear my hair out. This is NOT what I want to be doing at 11:43PM. It all started because I wanted to download the song "Wild Thing" the other night. I got a message indicating to download it I have to upgrade to iTunes 6. Given that it's a free upgrade, why not. After a couple of days of assorted problems doing the installation, finally got that right (or so it seemed).
However, every time I click to open iTunes, it immediately crashes. When I click to report the crash to Microsoft and follow the link, I get this message (my narrative continues after the Microsoft info below).

Go back to a version of iTunes that worked for you. When I upgraded to 6.0.2, I crashed every time I plugged an iPod in. I went back to 6.0.1, and everything works fine now. Make sure you completely uninstall your current "upgrade" of iTunes, then go to http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
to get a prior version of iTunes for installation.
Please respond if this works. Seems like problems after the 6.0.2 release of iTunes for Windows have been rampant. Like you, I assumed that every upgrade of iTunes was automatically an improvement. Not so, at least for me and a lot of other users.
Good luck.

Why does my iTunes crash every time I connect a particular device and only that device?

I am trying to switch from an iPhone 5 to a 5s. (The 5s is a company phone and was previously used by another employee.) The instant I connect the 5s to my computer I get a popup that says "iTunes has stopped working" and then the program closes. My iTunes works perfectly fine when I connect the 5 or any other device, so the issue must be with the phone. Why does this happen? How can I fix this?
I did notice when I connect the 5 to my commuter and I open devices two items show up, iPhone and a USB Apple one. When I connect the 5s only the USB Apple device shows up. The iPhone device does not.

Why does My iPhone crashe whenever i receive a message from one contact?

My iPhone has lately started doing something weird. Whenever I receive a message on whatsapp from one contact. The phones screen sometimes goes black and the apple logo will pop up and then ask for my pass code like i have just turned in on. But the thing is that the message that my friend sent is not even in the chat history and he has to send it again. Why does it do this? It's really irritating me now.

Why does my safari crash every time I hit the to open another tab?

Every time I hit the + in the upper right hand corner on Safari to open a new tab, it crashes and closes out. This happened after I plugged my iPad into my computer to sync it. Does anyone have an idea what happened. I tried turning the iPad off and back on but that did not fix it.

Why does my iPhone need every time to be hard-reset after charging?

Every time I fully charge my iPhone 6 Plus it turns off and doesn't want to turn on normally: I have to reset it every time by pressing the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button for a couple of seconds.
Also, sometimes after leaving it in sleep mode, when I wake the iPhone I find it having restarted alone without me doing anything: it asks me to type again the PIN number of my SIM card, as if it had just been turned on.
What can I do?
is it a battery or a iOs issue?

I think you need to talk to App tech. If you were sent a forced upgrade, it forces the phone to reboot when it hits 100% charge. Problem is after update and/or restore, it continues to do the reboot after you hit 100% battery capacity.
I have 6 phones that do the same. The tech guys don't believe me or they do not want to admit they have a problem with the forced update.
It left me stranded without my phone and the data in it while I was away. Bought a android phone for a back-up but may keep it as a main.
It seems if you want to carry your phone now-a-days, you better carry a laptop with iTunes in case there is a issue.
This whole thing is getting out-of-control as I spend more time servicing my phone than it spends servicing me. Which was the reason for not connecting to iTunes and updating it and then my phone every other month. So what do I get, forced update and inoperable phones.
If you can get it connected and set again, don't let it charge to 100% again and it will be fine. Otherwise see apple.
Who owns these phones anyway? It certainly is not me.

Why does my iphone crash when trying to upgrade?
