Andrew Chase finds that Safari quits whenever he walks away from his Mac, and it’s driving him to distraction.</p>

Ater leaving my computer for a period of time, I come back and Safari has closed down. No error or crash report, its as if someone is playing a trick on me and closes Safari. I have tried rebooting, deleting preference files, and turning off sleep. Not allowing my computer to sleep seems to have reduce the frequency that it happens, but I can’t be sure of it.</p>

In 10.7 Lion, Apple added an automatic background quit (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/General/Conceptual/MOSXAppProgrammingGuide/CoreAppDesign/CoreAppDesign.html) feature to OS X that’s designed to better free up system resources by software that’s not in use. It comes in two forms: automatic termination, which silently goes through the app’s normal quitting process when you’re not using it; and sudden termination, which kills off the app without any warning.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2955483/software-web/mac-911-safari-consistently-quits-in-yosemite.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
