What is going on? I can't get Text Edit to open! I've had this issue before, and Apple techs told me that upgrading my OS would likely cure it, well, I upgraded from Big Sur to Ventura, and still dealing with all the same issues as I had before, no help at all. What could be causing this very basic, Apple, app, from always "not responding"?
And why am I getting a red warning message below, telling me my post "must include text"? What does it think this is?
TextEdit not responding ?
With the Application 100 % Closed
Hold SHIFT key and try to Safe Launch the application
Still issues >>
Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance
Does the issue present in this mode ?
Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
Still issues - post back for additional suggesting in Trouble Shooting this issue

One can post a Question but the body of the question must contain text
Example used by our daughter and related to e-mails
She will use the Subject Line of the email to send the entire text of the message leaving the Body of completely Blank.
I am guessing this is what may also apply when posting a question on the ASC Forums ??
