Gmail (and sometimes Google Play) keep force closing... - General Questions and Answers

So, my Gmail has recently started popping up a Gmail force close box all the time. I can't even get into my Gmail without it quickly force closing (Samsung Note 3 running Jasmine). So far, I've tried:
Ran Root Cleaner Pro
Cleared data and cache from Gmail
Uninstalled and reinstalled gmail
Cleared data and cache from Google play services, google play store, and Gmail
I have a number of things installed but haven't messed with any of them lately:
Xposed
Amplify
Greenify
When I open Gmail and am not connected to the internet, I get a message that can't download attachment because of no internet.
Thoughts?

[Q] Play Store, Gmail and Browser crash

My problem started when I decided to test out the "backup" and "restore" feature Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit with my unrooted phone (will be rooted soon). It did back up and restore everything I wanted more or less but now it seems that whenever I launch Play Store, sync my Gmail account or even downloading/saving a simple picture to sd card on a browser, that app crashes with the "Unfortunantely <app> has stopped" with "report" and "ok" as the buttons.
I tried clearing cache, clearing data and force closing the app and rerunning it but it will eventually crash again. One thing to note however, is that Play Store only crashes if there there is an app download in progress, which incidentetly does not start, Gmail crashes when it tries syncing and the browser (Chrome included) crashes whenever downloading a file.
I also noticed that when I select "report" when the app crashes and look at the system data that will be included, they all appear to be quite simlar, which means the problems might be related
So how do I fix this problem?
*UPDATE*
I finally fixed the problem by force stopping and clear data/cache for any apps that had to do with downloading, Play Store, media storage, Google services or Gmail, followed by a quick restart. I probably overdid it but anyways, it worked for me and I hope that if anyone has a similar problem, here is the solution

Google playstore and facebook crashing

my girlfriend has the Galaxy 3 and her play store wont open ever. it only crashes or force closes and her facebook wont sign in either. but the play store is more of a concern. i deleted her entire account off the phone then signed back in and still nothing
is there a fix for this other than reformat? thanks. shes running stock
Try formatting cache and dalvik cache if her phone is rooted
If not try deleting data of play store and facebook
force stop it and then reopen

Google apps do not sync in the background

Hi guys,
for quite some time now on my Nexus 10 all of the Google apps (i.e. calendar, Gmail, contacts, keep and so on) do not sync automatically in the background.
All apps work fine, they sync when I open them. But they do not otherwise. Which means: I do not receive email notifications and other reminders! All non-Google apps like Facebook and so on seem to work properly.
What did I change?
I installed Lollipop
I encrypted the device
I tried Inbox and went back to Gmail
nothing else I am aware of...
In the settings for my Google account all the apps are checked to auto sync. I tried to unceck, restart, re-check and such things. I also tried to delete the cache, uninstall Gmail, restart, install again and such things. Nothing seems to work!
Any ideas!?
Edit:
I run stock ROM, device is not rooted, installed only OTA updates, currently its 5.0.2

Gmail not Syncing

So, we have 2 ATT GS5 phones that have been updated to Lollipop since the software was released. On May 7th, my wife's phone just stopped syncing Gmail. Funny thing is, it syncs all the other google services under accounts (Calendar, Contacts etc...) When you look at Gmail under accounts, where all the google services are, the Sync arrows never go away on the Gmail section. Also, since I cleared all app data, when you go into Gmail for the first time, it just stays at the pulling down email screen.
-I tried clearing Gmail app cache and data buttons, no good.
-Tried the uninstall updates button, rebooted, re-installed updates, no good.
-Rebooting phone and removing batter, no good.
-Tried clearing off all her pictures/videos to make more space (now have 5GB free), no good.
What else is there?
open the setting

there are nothing to do gmail your gmail app. go to setting. search for accounts and sync setting there you can check or open the Background Data also you can check in Auto Sync. also you may find their your gmail accounts so you sync them manually.

[Q] Unfortunately, YouTube has stopped

This problem started about two weeks ago. YouTube randomly popped up the default (useless) message stating that YouTube had crashed. It repeated the message over and over; I had to remove the app just to be able to use the phone. I fixed the problem by clearing the Dalvik cache and normal cache from TWRP, then reinstalling YouTube from the Play Store. That worked for a few days, then the problem started again. This is annoying but I was at least able to fix it.
Today, however, the problem started again and this time clearing the caches didn't work. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated to be able to use the app again.

Try to clear app data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Play Services, framework and YouTube. Reboot and try again. Uninstalling updates of YouTube or removing your Gmail account could help too.

I've now tried all of these steps--cleared data/cache for Store, Services, framework, Youtube, uninstalled/reinstalled YouTube, still didn't work. Removed Gmail account, rebooted, re-added Gmail account, still nothing.
I don't know if this is related, but as of several days ago (after this original problem started) my Google account no longer auto-syncs anything. I have to manually sync everything from the Accounts section of Settings. I use the Gmail app; very frustrating to not get updates.
If the problem persists whenever 5.1.1 gets pushed out I'm planning to do a 100% clean reset of the phone, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
