3g phone works fine except will not open apps which i have downloaded

Why can I not open apps which I have downloaded such as flickster, urbanspoon, nike gps, white pages, etc.  None will open.  They briefly appear then simply go back to their icon state.  I have tried holding down both off button and menu button.  Nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?

Wow, really? IPhone 3G?? Dude get updated... Why in the **** would you buy a seriously outdated iPhone 3G? Don't be cheap, get your $10 back that you've used to buy that iPhone and save up for a **** 4/4S...

  • My Ipad 2 will not open apps that I have download from the app store but will open apps that came preinstalled.

    My IPAD 2 will some times not open apps that I have down load from the app store. But will open all of the preinstalled apps.I must go to the app store and install something and then all the apps will open. I should not have to install unwanted apps to keep my IPad working.I have reset and total reset nothing sames to work.

    Sounds to me like you may have an issue with the firmware, i.e. the iOS version that you are runing.  I also have an iPad 2  and sometimes have to restart it to get it to recognize and run a newly downloaded app.  And only once or twice have I had to uninstall and redownload an app that this didn't fix. I think this has more to do with the way an app has been coded more than anything else.
    You might try doing a "Reset All Settings" reset and set it up as a new iPad.  You should not lose any data, apps, music, videos, etc. that you have stored on your device.  I have done this a few times when tweaking the iOS 5.0.1 firmware and never lost anything.  You do have to re-enter your ID's and Passwords for wifi.  And of course you will need to go back into settings and reset any changes you may have made to things like location and notifications.
    I don't know if this will work, but if I was in your place this is the next step that I would take.

  • I tunes will not open any. I have downloaded the program, at least 5 times and still not open.

    When you double-click the shortcut icon on the computer i tunes download it for 1 second and does not do anything after that. I've tried to open i tunes, the system administrator, but not any result. What can I do?

    gaah. i think you and your brother have correctly diagnosed the problem.
    there's a Qoologic variant that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failure since late October. it's associated with the "license screen flash" symptom. it also drops randomly-generated-4-and-6-letter-name startup items in people's PCs.
    Ewido and AdAware have typically been getting rid of it for people, so it's a bit disturbing that they aren't touching it in your case. however, we also have a "manual" removal technique that has been working for people. let's see if Dave's technique works for you:

    Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test:  Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker.  Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
    Did you attempt to repair MS Office?  Test:  Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
    Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker?  Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker.  See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

    Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
    You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can.

  • I can't open apps that friends have downloaded when I connect my iphone to my laptop

    I can't open apps that friends have downloaded when I connect my iphone to my laptop? It just goes to a black screen then quits and goes to a home screen. Does anybody know what is going on????

    A bit confused.  Are you saying your friends are using your itunes on your laptop to buy apps and that you are then syncing them to your iphone?
    "..friends have downloaded.." - downloaded from where (or perhaps they downloaded directly from itunes store to your iphone?).  Are we talking about a jailbroken iphone?

  • My phone will not open apps

    I used all my apps up to 12 midnight and now they will not open.  It flashes the app and goes back to home screan. Oh ya i updatedwith the new 4.3.3

    I've had this happen myself, where it seems like the phone has forgotten that you own the apps and refuses to open them. You need to try the 3 R's and see if they get your phone going again.
    First, do a restart. Hold the top button until you see the slide to turn off, and do turn it off. Once you have restarted the phone, it may start working again (didn't for me).
    Second, do a reset. Hold the top and home button until you see the Apple logo. Once the phone has been reset, it may start working again.
    Third, do a restore. With your iPhone plugged into iTunes, click the restore button on the phone summary page. When prompted, try a restore from backup first. If this doesn't cure the problem, you'll need to do a restore to factory settings, which is what finally cured the problem for me.
    Hope this helps.

  • Upgraded to pse 13 worked once now will not open

    uupgraded to psd 13 - opened up once - now will not open

    the opening screen "opens up" and am able to go "online" via 13 - when you go to
    Organizer - will not open - win 7 - 64 - task manager shows it in app's but indicates "not responding" -
    the processes stream shows pse 13 running...  in reviewing threads for this issues there are
    100's of users experiencing the same issue over many generations of pse...  the "fix" should be
    well known to Adobe by now... after 10 hours there is NO clear fix from Adobe - highly disappointing...
    keep in mind I bought pse 10 and that NEVER opened up or worked correctly - now same with 13 -
    unuseable - 10 hours later - three reinstalls and several suggested fixes and I am sure an Adobe pse
    expert could fix in a few minutes what I can't do in 10 hours...  please have a pse expert give me the
    recipe to correct as this is a KNOWN long time recurring issue as documented in any number of
    chat rooms...  thx...

  • Been tying to open a webpage that I use all the time, others tell me it is working but Firefox will not open it.

    I use a webpage while playing Travian and now I can not get it to open. The page is "http://travian.ws/analyser.pl?s=com2" . When I tried to open it earlier today a security window popped up and I thought that I clicked on the appropriate button so it would open but it never did and still it will not load. Have talked to others via Skype that tell me the page opens and works for them, still the page will not load. Have reloaded 'Firefox' and still unable to load the page.
    Open to any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Steve
