  3. Update: Ensure that both the TV’s firmware and the Xfinity Stream app are updated to the latest versions.

2. Re-log into the Xfinity TV App

The 00148 error may occur when the Xfinity Stream app’s servers are unable to authenticate the app with your account, often due to an authorization glitch. To resolve this issue, try signing out and back into the app.

  1. Open the Xfinity app and navigate to its menu.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings section.
  3. Choose Sign Out and confirm your choice.

  • Relaunch the Fitbit app.
  • Restart your device.
  • Relog into the Fitbit app.

1. Update the Fitbit App and Your Device’s OS

An outdated Fitbit app or a device’s OS missing the latest patches can result in incompatibility, leading to crashes. Updating both to the latest versions can solve the problem.

Update the Fitbit App

  1. Open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and search for Fitbit.
  2. If an update is available, select it to begin the update process.
    Update the Fitbit App
    Update the Fitbit App
  3. After updating, restart your device and open the Fitbit app to check for proper functionality.

The Fitbit app requires specific permissions to function properly. Without them, it may crash. On an Android device:

  1. Force close the Fitbit app as previously mentioned.
  2. Head to Settings > Application Manager > Fitbit > Permissions.
  3. Grant all the necessary permissions and open the Fitbit app to verify if the issue is resolved.
    Enable All the App Permissions of the Fitbit App
    Enable All the App Permissions of the Fitbit App
  4. If the problem persists or all permissions had previously been granted, try disabling Location permissions for the Fitbit app to see if that resolves the issue.

6. Re-add the Fitbit Device to the Fitbit App

    Disable the Fitbit Options in the App Launch
  4. Restart your device and try opening Fitbit again to see if the issue is corrected.
  5. If not, enable all options for Fitbit under App Launch and test again.

8. Clear Cache/Data of the Fitbit App (Android Only)

The Fitbit app and Google Play Services can crash if their cache/data are invalid. Clearing both should help. Before proceeding, log out from the Fitbit app if possible.

Clear Cache of the Fitbit App

  1. Navigate to Settings > Applications > Fitbit > Storage.
  2. Select Clear Cache and then open Fitbit to check if the issue has been resolved.
    Clear Cache of the Fitbit App

  3. Select to clear both ‘Cookies and other site data’ and ‘Cached images and files’.
  4. After clearing, restart your browser.

9. Test on a Different Network

In some cases, network policies or configurations can block access to certain features. Try accessing Bing Chat on a different network, like a mobile hotspot, to rule out network-specific issues.

  4. Disable it and then enable it again.
  5. Check to see if the problem persists.

2. Update System Software

The version of iOS you are using could be the major cause of the FaceTime not saving photos issue. A problematic iOS update for older phones is often the source of this bug.

As this issue has been acknowledged by the developers, it has been addressed in subsequent updates. Therefore, ensuring that you’re running the latest iOS version on your device is critical.

  1. Head to the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap your Apple ID at the top.
  3. Under Apple ID, select iCloud.
  4. In the iCloud settings, tap the Sign Out button.

Encountering the error code P-DEV318 while streaming on Hulu indicates a disturbance in the network connection. This is commonly caused by factors such as third-party VPN software usage, other devices interfering with your streaming device, or accumulated local cache in the Hulu app.

Hulu Error Code P-DEV318
Hulu Error Code P-DEV318

To resolve this issue, it is necessary to eliminate network interference and ensure a stable connection to Hulu’s web servers. In this article, we present several reliable methods that can help you fix this error.

1. Check Hulu Network Status

Begin by verifying Hulu’s server status when you encounter the P-DEV318 error code. This step determines whether the problem is due to a server outage or other inconsistencies on Hulu’s end, which may affect specific regions.

You can check for any Hulu service disruptions on a third-party website such as DownDetector. This platform tracks Hulu’s real-time service status and delivers hourly outage reports. A visit to this site provides a snapshot of any current platform issues and keeps you well-informed.

Hulu Network Status and Outage

Additionally, Hulu’s official support handle on Twitter, @Hulu_support, may provide updates on potential service issues. If Hulu is operating normally, proceed to the following solutions.

2. Use a Wired Connection Temporarily

Using for a wired connection over a wireless one can often resolve connectivity issues with streaming services like Hulu. A wired connection limits interferences, potentially improving the overall quality of your connection.

If you’ve been streaming Hulu via Wi-Fi, try switching to an ethernet cable and assess how the platform performs. In certain cases, this change resolves irregularities related to wireless connections, allowing a return to Wi-Fi without further errors.

3. Clear Hulu Cache

Local cache accumulated by Hulu’s app can enhance user experience but may become corrupted over time, leading to issues.

Clearing the app’s cache can help resolve these problems. The process varies depending on your device:

For TV users, navigate to the Applications area within the Settings menu, find Hulu, and clear its cache from there. For Apple TV users, however, reinstalling the app is necessary as you cannot directly clear the cache.

  1. Open Settings and head to Apps.
  2. Find and select Hulu from the list.
  3. Tap on the Storage option.
  4. Tap Clear cache and Clear data buttons.
    Clearing Hulu Cache
    Clearing Hulu Cache

4. Use a Different Browser

Playback issues, including the P-DEV318 error, can also stem from the browser you use to access Hulu. Compatibility problems may arise from missing codecs or technologies required for media playback within the browser. Additionally, browser extensions can sometimes disrupt the streaming service.

Switching to an alternative browser might resolve these issues. We advise trying reputable browsers such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to see if that resolves the error.

5. Turn Off Third-Party VPN Connection

The P-DEV318 error on Hulu may be caused by using a VPN connection, which can lead to your connection being filtered by Hulu’s servers, resulting in playback errors.

Disable your VPN to check if it resolves the issue. Disconnect your VPN either through the client software or, for Windows VPNs.

  1. Press Win key + I to open Settings.
  2. Go to Network and Internet > VPN.
    Navigating to VPN Settings
    Navigating to VPN Settings
  3. Click Disconnect next to your VPN connection.
  4. Restart your browser and try Hulu again to see if the error persists.

6. Update Hulu App

Outdated apps can sometimes be the culprit for error P-DEV318. Ensure that you have the latest version of the Hulu app by checking for updates in the Play Store or App Store. If updates are unavailable or the problem persists after updating, consider the next suggestion.

7. Disconnect Other Network Devices

Other network devices may interfere with your connection to Hulu. It’s increasingly common with lots of networked (IoT) devices at home. Temporarily disconnect other devices to determine if they’re the cause of the disruption. If disconnecting a particular device solves the issue, contact the device’s manufacturer for support and a potential resolution.

8. Reinstall Hulu

Should the methods above fail to fix the P-DEV318 error code, your final option is to reinstall Hulu. A flawed installation may be the reason for the various bugs and errors.

  1. Access Settings and visit Apps.
  2. Select the Hulu app.
  3. Choose Uninstall.
    Uninstalling Hulu App
    Uninstalling Hulu App
  4. Install the app again and check if the error continues.

9. Consult Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)

Occasionally, the problem may be on your ISP’s end, where they might be throttling video streaming services or experiencing other network issues. Contact your ISP if you suspect this to be the case; they may provide insights or solutions to resolve the issue.

If issues persist, seek further assistance from the Hulu support team.

The “Media Offline” error in DaVinci Resolve occurs when the video editor cannot access previously added media. This can happen if the media’s location has changed on your hard drive without the change being reflected in DaVinci Resolve.

Media Offline in DaVinci Resolve
Media Offline in DaVinci Resolve

To address this, relinking the media in the video editor should resolve the issue. Below, we outline various methods to help you fix the Media Offline error in DaVinci Resolve.

1. Relink Offline Media

The Media Offline error is often caused by media files becoming unlinked from DaVinci Resolve. This might occur due to inconsistencies within the application or after changing your media files’ physical location on your hard disk.

To resolve the issue, provide DaVinci Resolve with the new media location. Follow these steps:

  1. Open DaVinci Resolve.
  2. Select the missing media, right-click on it, and choose Relink Selected Clips.
    Relinking Missing Media Files
    Relinking Missing Media Files
  3. Navigate to the new location and select it.
  4. Click Select Folder to see if the issue has been resolved.

2. Set Render Cache to None

DaVinci Resolve’s Render Cache can improve project playback performance by storing rendered frames in memory or on disk. However, issues can arise if the cache settings do not match the media’s format or resolution.

To correct this, disable the Render Cache as follows:

  1. Open DaVinci Resolve.
  2. Click on the Playback option in the menu bar.
  3. Choose Render Cache > None.
    Changing Render Cache
    Changing Render Cache
  4. Check if the error persists.

3. Edit Media Storage Preferences

For users employing external drives for their DaVinci Resolve media, ensuring that the program can automatically access these drives is imperative.

Modify the media storage preferences with these steps:

  1. Launch DaVinci Resolve.
  2. Click on DaVinci Resolve in the menu bar and select Preferences.
    Opening DaVinci Resolve Preferences
    Opening DaVinci Resolve Preferences
  3. Switch to the Media Storage tab.
  4. Select the Automatically display attached storage locations option.
    Automatically Displaying Secondary Storage Locations
    Automatically Displaying Secondary Storage Locations
  5. Click Save, restart DaVinci Resolve, and see if the problem reoccurs.

4. Ensure Media Exists in the Media Pool

The “Media Offline” error can occur if the media is not in the media pool, perhaps due to accidental deletion. Without the media in the media pool, DaVinci Resolve cannot locate the file.

Verify that the required media is included in your media pool; this tells DaVinci Resolve where the media is located, facilitating access.

If issues continue despite the media being in the pool, proceed to the next solution.

5. Check Media Storage

“Media Offline” messages often result from storing media on external storage devices that are not connected to your computer. If DaVinci Resolve cannot access the files, this error appears.

Ensure the media files are stored on your hard drive or properly connected external storage. If using an SD card, it’s recommended to transfer the files to a hard drive for smoother editing with DaVinci Resolve.

6. Delete Render Cache

Sometimes the render cache in DaVinci Resolve can become corrupt. Deleting the current render cache will compel DaVinci Resolve to create a new, uncorrupted version.

Delete the render cache by following these steps:

  1. Open DaVinci Resolve.
  2. Choose Playback from the menu.
  3. Select Delete Render Cache > All.
    Deleting Render Cache in DaVinci Resolve
    Deleting Render Cache in DaVinci Resolve
  4. Check if the media has been restored.

7. Check DaVinci Resolve Version

The version of DaVinci Resolve you are using could also be responsible for the error. The free version does not support all media codecs, which can lead to the Media Offline error during playback. For example, the 10-bit H.264 format is not supported in the free version.

You may need to purchase the full version of DaVinci Resolve or convert your media files to a supported format.

8. Install HEVC Codec (Paid)

Codec issues might cause the Media Offline error if certain required codecs are missing on your system for use with DaVinci Resolve.

Free users often encounter this issue, which can be resolved by installing the HEVC codec, which costs approximately 1 USD. Purchasers of DaVinci Resolve should already have this codec.

To install, click on this link and navigate to the Microsoft Store page. Buy the codec, install it, and check if the issue remains.

Installing HEVC Video Extensions
Installing HEVC Video Extensions

9. Change Timeline Resolution

The Media Offline error can be related to the resolution of your timeline. If the media files are incompatible with the playback resolution, they may appear as offline.

Change the timeline resolution to fix the issue as follows:

  1. Open DaVinci Resolve.
  2. Click on Playback.
  3. Choose Timeline Proxy Resolution > Half Resolution.
    Changing Timeline Resolution to Half in DaVinci Resolve
    Changing Timeline Resolution to Half in DaVinci Resolve
  4. Determine if the Media Offline issue continues.

10. Change Power Plan

The power plan on your computer may influence DaVinci Resolve’s functionality. This is common when a low-performance power plan is active. DaVinci Resolve, being resource-intensive, requires optimal performance capabilities.

Switch to the High-Performance power plan using these steps:

  1. Access the Start Menu.
  2. Search for “Choose a Power Plan” and hit Enter.
    Opening Power Options via Start Menu
    Opening Power Options via Start Menu
  3. Choose High Performance.
    Changing to High Performance Power Plan
    Changing to High-Performance Power Plan
  4. If necessary, click Show additional plans to see all options.

11. Update Graphics Drivers

Outdated graphics drivers can cause issues with DaVinci Resolve, including the Media Offline error. To update your graphics drivers, uninstall the current drivers and install the latest ones.

Proceed with the following steps:

  1. Download the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) utility from here.
  2. Extract the utility and run it.
  3. On the General Options screen, click Continue.
    General Options
    General Options
  4. Select GPU as the device type.
    Selecting Type of Device
    Selecting the Type of Device in DDU
  5. Choose the brand of your GPU.
    Selecting Video Card Brand
    Selecting Video Card Brand
  6. Use the Clean and restart option to uninstall the drivers.
    Uninstalling Video Drivers
    Uninstalling Video Drivers
  7. Restart your computer and visit your GPU manufacturer’s website.
  8. Download the latest drivers for your graphics card and install them.
  9. Check if the Media Offline error is resolved.

12. Re-encode Media File

If none of the above methods work, the issue might lie in the encoding of your media files. DaVinci Resolve sometimes struggles with certain codecs, leading to media files going offline.

Re-encode your media files to a compatible codec. If using H.265 files, it is advised to re-encode them to H.264 using Handbrake.

With these methods, you should resolve the Media Offline issue in DaVinci Resolve. For persistent problems, create a thread on the official forums for further assistance.

    Login Item: ~/bin/helper_update
  4. Reboot the Mac and create another EtreCheck report.
  5. Review for any suspicious files, remove them, and continue this process until no questionable files remain. Check again to see if the problem is solved.

11. Use Terminal Commands

At this point, if unresolved, we can try Terminal commands to address the issue.

  2. Check if the application now installs without problems.
  3. If not, execute these commands after providing actual file paths:
    xattr /path/to/MyApp.app
    sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/MyApp.app
  4. In case the issue continues, apply the following, while making sure to replace placeholder paths with the actual ones:
    xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/directory/containing/the/binaries/*

Code Sign the Application

  1. Launch Terminal and change to the /bin directory.
  2. Execute the following command, replacing MyApp with your actual application’s name:
    sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/MyApp.app
    Use the Codesign to Sign the Application on the Mac
    Use the Codesign to Sign the Application on the Mac
  3. Restart the Mac and check for correct installation of the application.

Disable the GateKeeper

  1. Open Terminal and execute the following command:
    sudo spctl --master-disable
    Disable the Mac's GateKeeper
    Disable the Mac’s GateKeeper
  2. Reboot the Mac and try installing the application again.
  3. Should it fail, move to System Settings > Security & Privacy > General.
  4. Click the Lock icon and provide user credentials.
  5. Adjust Allow Apps Downloaded from to Anywhere and restart the Mac.Enable Anywhere for Mac's Allow Apps Downloaded from
  6. Attempt to install the application once more, and this step should resolve the issue. If you wish to re-enable GateKeeper afterward, simply enter the following command in Terminal:
    sudo spctl --master-enable

If the problem persists even after trying all the above solutions, consider booting your Mac into safe mode to determine if that resolves the issue. Also, review your start-up items, and if you have antivirus software installed, consider disabling or uninstalling it. Another option is to create a new admin user account and attempt to install the application through it.

Should these measures fail to fix the problem, a system reset or a reinstallation of macOS might be in order. If difficulties continue, contacting Apple Support or the application’s vendor for assistance is advisable.

Samsung DeX not operating correctly on your PC can often be traced back to the USB cable in use. This issue arises when the USB-C cable is not compatible with the Samsung DeX feature, thus preventing a DeX connection from being established.

To circumvent this problem, ensure that your USB-C cable complies with the specifications set forth by Samsung. Furthermore, inconsistencies in applications can also contribute to the malfunction of DeX mode. This article will guide you through various troubleshooting methods to help you pinpoint and resolve the issue. 

1. Check USB-C Cable

The initial step you should take is to examine the USB-C cable that connects your smartphone to the external display. Samsung DeX requires a USB-C cable that is either version 3.1 or 3.2, with video capabilities. In the event that your cable does not meet these specifications, you will not be able to utilize the Samsung DeX feature.

It is advisable to use the official DeX cable provided by Samsung to ensure connectivity. This eliminates any potential issues related to cable compatibility, enabling a smooth Samsung DeX experience. 

2. Run Samsung DeX as Admin

Another reason for DeX mode not functioning may be related to the permissions of the Samsung DeX app. This issue arises when the app is prohibited from projecting the smartphone’s display to your monitor on a Windows computer due to insufficient permissions.

To remedy this, you should execute the Samsung DeX app with administrative rights. Follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Start Menu and search for Samsung DeX.
  2. Then, select the Run as administrator option that appears to the right.
    Running Samsung DeX as Admin
    Running Samsung DeX as Admin
  3. After doing so, connect your phone to your PC and check if the problem persists.
  4. If this solves the issue for you, set Samsung DeX to always run as admin. Right-click the app shortcut on your desktop or in the Start Menu, and select ‘Run as administrator’ from the context menu.

3. Connect to the Same Network (if applicable)

Samsung DeX supports connecting your smartphone to a PC over Wi-Fi. When using Samsung DeX wirelessly, it is essential that both your smartphone and PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Skip this step if you are using a wired connection. 

Check the Wi-Fi network to which your Samsung device is connected. Ensure your PC is also on the same network by following these steps:

  1. Press the Win key + I to open the Settings window.
  2. Then, go to Network and Internet > WiFi.
    Navigating to WiFi Settings
    Navigating to WiFi Settings
  3. Click on the Show available networks menu.
    Expanding Available Networks List
    Expanding Available Networks List
  4. Select and connect your PC to the same network as your Samsung device.
    Connecting to WiFi Network
    Connecting to WiFi Network
  5. Then, launch the Samsung DeX app to check if the issue has been resolved.

4. Update USB Drivers

Outdated or missing USB drivers on your Windows machine can interfere with Samsung DeX functionality, especially when using Samsung’s official cables.

This often results from obsolete or absent USB drivers. To address this, open the Device Manager and search for any warnings related to USB drivers. Installing updated drivers should rectify the issue. Follow these directions:

  1. Open the Start Menu and type Device Manager, then open it.
    Opening Device Manager
    Opening Device Manager
  2. Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers section.
    Expanding USB Controllers List
    Expanding USB Controllers List
  3. Look for any devices with warning icons or missing drivers.
  4. Right-click on the device and select Update Driver Software
  5. Wait for the update to complete and check if the issue has been resolved.
  6. If the problem continues, right-click on the respective USB controller and choose Uninstall device
  7. Next, disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it.
  8. Check if the problem still occurs now. 

Should you encounter difficulties resolving driver issues via the Device Manager, manually downloading the Samsung USB Drivers for Windows is another option. Visit the official Samsung USB Drivers for Windows webpage.

Manually Download Samsung USB Drivers for Windows
Manually Download Samsung USB Drivers for Windows

Once downloaded, run the driver setup file and check if this step has eliminated the issue.

5. Change Monitor Input Mode

The input mode selection on your monitor can also be a contributing factor to your DeX connection issue. This occurs if your monitor is set to the wrong input mode, preventing it from recognizing the smartphone’s display.

The solution is simple: verify that the monitor’s input source is set correctly.

Press the Menu button on your monitor, navigate to the Input Source option, select the connection method you’re using to link your smartphone, and verify if the DeX feature now functions properly.

6. Clear Samsung DeX Cache

Damaged or corrupted cache files stored by the Samsung DeX app on your phone can lead to operational disruptions.

Clearing the cache for the DeX app on your phone could resolve this issue. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Samsung device.
  2. Proceed to the Apps category.
    Navigating to Apps
    Navigating to Apps
  3. Select Samsung DeX from the app list.
  4. If it’s not immediately evident, use the search field to look for DeX.
  5. Next, tap on Storage.
  6. Hit the Clear cache button.
    Clearing DeX for PC Cache
    Clearing DeX for PC Cache
  7. Repeat this process for the DeX for PC application as well.
  8. Once complete, see if the problem persists.

7. Enable Force Desktop Mode

Forcing your Samsung phone into desktop mode when connecting to external displays can often resolve display issues. Samsung DeX relies on this feature among others to provide its extended display functionality.

To make use of this feature, ensure that ‘Force Desktop Mode’ is activated within the Developer Options menu. This menu is hidden by default, so follow these steps to enable it:

  1. Open the Settings app on your phone.
  2. Navigate to About Phone.
    Navigating to About Phone
    Navigating to About Phone
  3. From there, select Software Information.
    Navigating to Software Information
    Navigating to Software Information
  4. Find the Build Number option and tap it seven times.
    Tapping Build Number Seven Times
    Tapping Build Number Seven Times
  5. If prompted, enter your PIN to unlock the Developer Options menu.
  6. Return to the Settings menu and scroll down to Developer Options at the bottom.
  7. Within Developer Options, find and turn on Force Desktop Mode.
  8. Restart Samsung DeX and attempt to reconnect your phone to the external display to check its functionality. 

8. Power Cycle Monitor

If none of the previous methods have been effective, a power cycle of your monitor could be the answer. Power cycling can reset your monitor’s parameters, possibly resolving identification issues with the Samsung DeX input source.

Turn off the monitor, unplug its power source, wait at least 30 seconds, then reconnect and restart it. Now, check to see if Samsung DeX functions as expected.

9. Check for Software Updates

Ensure that both your Samsung smartphone and the Samsung DeX application on your PC are updated to the latest versions. Software updates often include bug fixes that may resolve connectivity issues.

  1. On your Samsung device, go to Settings > Software update, and tap on Download and install.
  2. On your PC, open the Samsung DeX application and check for any available updates in the settings or help menu.

10. Reset Settings on Samsung Device

If all else fails, consider resetting the settings on your Samsung device. This won’t delete your personal data but will reset system settings that could be causing issues with DeX.

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Go to General management > Reset > Reset settings.
  3. Tap on Reset settings, enter your PIN if prompted, and confirm the reset.

11. Try DeX on a Different Computer or Monitor

To isolate the issue, connect your Samsung device to a different computer or monitor that supports DeX. This can help determine if the problem is with the original computer or monitor.

Tips for a Better Samsung DeX Experience

  • Optimize Display Settings: Adjust the resolution and screen scale within the DeX settings to match the monitor you’re using for optimal display quality.
  • Use a High-Quality Cable: Poor quality cables can degrade the performance or even prevent DeX from working. Invest in a high-quality cable that conforms to the requirements set by Samsung.
  • Monitor Power Saving Modes: Disable any power-saving modes on the monitor to prevent it from going to sleep unexpectedly while using DeX.
  • Heat Management: Using DeX for extended periods may cause your phone to heat up. Ensure that your phone is adequately ventilated to prevent overheating.

Remember to back up your data before performing any major troubleshooting steps such as resetting settings or updating your device’s software to prevent any data loss. If the issue persists after extensive troubleshooting, it may point to a hardware fault with the phone or the USB-C port, in which case it’s advisable to seek professional repair or replacement.

If you’re a coffee aficionado who relies on a steady caffeine intake but dreads standing in long queues, you must appreciate the convenience that the Starbucks app provides. We understand how frustrating it can be when you’re suddenly faced with issues like the app crashing or not functioning properly.

Starbucks App Not Working

To prevent disruption to your Starbucks experience—be it from the inability to pre-order, make online payments, or accumulate rewards—we’ve rounded up various solutions for you. However, before troubleshooting, it’s crucial to identify the root cause, enabling you to effectively resolve the ‘Starbucks App Not Working’ issue.

Why is my Starbucks app not working?

While the main reasons for your Starbucks mobile app to stop functioning are usually not severe, they do have undesirable consequences. Being aware of these causes and their workarounds can swiftly restore access to your Starbucks app.

  • Poor Internet Connection: A primary reason for app failure or delayed loading is an unstable internet connection. Like many apps, Starbucks requires a reliable network connection for optimal user experience.
  • Corrupted App Files: The Starbucks mobile app, much like any other, stores cache files on your device. Should this data become corrupted, you may encounter performance issues within the app.
  • Outdated App Version: An outdated app version may malfunction, lacking recent updates and bug fixes, which leaves it more susceptible to problems.
  • Starbucks Server Down: Occasionally, the issue is due to an outage on Starbucks’ end. If their servers are down, you won’t be able to access the app.

1. Check for server outages

Keep in mind that Starbucks coffee is in high demand, particularly during peak hours. Since numerous people use the app to place orders and save time, it can paradoxically crash due to excessive traffic.

Server outages can have several causes and typically affect several users concurrently. Before proceeding with further troubleshooting, confirm whether the Starbucks app servers are down. It’s also advisable to check your internet connection to rule out potential local network issues before concluding it’s a software problem.

2. Relaunch the App

The Starbucks app might encounter a range of issues, from launch failures to difficulties in placing orders. If you’re experiencing the app not starting correctly, try force-closing and then relaunching it. Often, a temporary glitch may hinder the app’s functionality, which a fresh start may resolve.

To force quit and relaunch the app, follow these steps:

3. Re-Login to the App

Some users have resolved their issues by logging out of their Starbucks accounts and logging back in.

To re-login to your account, follow these instructions:

  2. Tap ‘Apps’ or ‘Application Manager’ (depending on your device).
  3. Locate and select ‘Starbucks.’
