Guide: Fix ‘Applications Quits Unexpectedly’ Issue on MacOS
I recently encountered a troubling issue with Mac OS X Leopard: applications were unexpectedly quitting without warning and failing to restart. Initially, this affected programs I used frequently, such as Firefox and Photoshop. Eventually, it spread to other applications, including Adium, Mailclient and Font Book - even those I rarely used.
The symptoms
Users may experience applications unexpectedly shutting down, similar to the Windows “illegal operation” error. If an application closes when clicked on and won’t stay open after a reboot, it’s likely that the user is a victim of this issue. This problem can affect almost any application.
