All apps stop and return to the main screen

If you are saying that your 3rd party apps aren't working try downloading any free app.

I have an iPhone 5 and recently when I try to copy and paste the app freezes and returns to the home screen please help.

When I try to copy paste my app freezes and returns to the home screen please help.

Try resetting ...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then restart your iPhone.

App closes itself and return to the main screen

While I was playing apps, iphone just started getting wierd i.e. freezing and then automatically return to the main screen (the screen with many apps on like desktop of computer). Anyone experience this problem and how can I resolve the problem please?

I am having the same problem with several apps and a reset does not help. I downloaded ReaddleDocs, DirecTV, Bloomberg and a couple of games that all worked the first time I tried them but now open to their welcome screen for about 2 seconds and then go back to the iPhone home screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apps, started and restarted the iPhone and reset the iPhone but they still do not work. What is going on and what should I do?

My iPad isn't working properly. When I try to connect to the internet or follow a link it shuts down and returns to the main screen. Any clue as to what could be causing this? Not my internet connection, I checked that.

My iPad isn't working. I cannot follow a link in an email or connect to a game. It goes to a black screen then back to the main screen. Any idea what could be causing this?

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

My iPad closes apps and returns to the main page

This has just started in tha last two weeks. it's really bad in mail when I get half way through a email message to send out the app closes and returns to the main page. It does'nt save a draft at that point either?

Lots of things can be causing this but I'll cover two of the more frequent causes. Let's start by having you restart your device: hold the power button in the top right until the red slider appears. Slide it to the left and let it power off. When the screen is black, wait approximately 5 seconds, then hold the power button on.
When the machine boots up, your apps will have closed freeing up lots of memory; alternatively, you can force close apps, by double clicking the Home button and holding your finger on an App until the minus signs appear; click the minus sign. If your apps were quitting due to lack of memory, this will have fixed the issue.
However, if the issue is still occuring, my next bet would be a failed update (iOS, App, etc). If you have a recent backup, Restore to that backup, otherwise you'll be doing a factory restore (or restoring like new). You can find directions on how to do both below:
How to Restore from Backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Reset as New: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
I wouldn't recommend backing it up at this point as its likely corrupt.

TS1702 My garage band app has crashed & keeps returning to the main screen when I try to open it... I've tried most of the trouble shooting options with the exception of re-installing the app, because I fear I will lose a number of recent projects I have

My garage band app has crashed & keeps returning to the main screen when I try to open it... I've tried most of the trouble shooting chart (no updates available, tried restarting app, restarted device) all I have left is to re-install the app... My main fear is that if I do this I will lose a load of recent projects that are saved to the app that I've spent the last few days creating... Help...

I have tried all those things I even updated the software to the new iOS system and it still did fix my problem.
What happened is that my garage band looks like it will open then it shuts down.
I have lot of important things on my garage band and I'm afraid that if I uninstall it deleting it then reinstalling it all my work on it will be gone and I can't have that happen.
Everyday I am hoping that when i go to open the app that is will work but it doesn't it gets ready to turn on then it shuts off , the app doesn't even open all the way and turns off.
I really hope I don't have to erase it.
It'll say it's ,lading my songs then it shuts down .
If I waited for the App Store to come up with an update for garage band should I wait till then to update my app so it doesn't get damaged . I don't want to erase it and all my data get erased . I figured if I wait for an update then my garage band will reset itself but won't delete my data. I'm not sure if that will help. Is there anything you or anyone else might know that can help me with this matter ?
Thank you

Using Cap6, need to create menu screen that allows user to click a button, branch to other screens, and return to main menu. When returning to the main screen the button that was clicked will be grayed out or inactive. How do I do this? I created image

I am trying to emulate a piece of equipment. I need the user to be able to click on specific buttons that will take the user to another screen(s). After viewing those screens the user will be directed back to the main screen where the user would know which buttons had been pressed and which still needed to be pressed. I create image buttons with the 3 states - that worked except when the user returns the slide is reset and so the user does not see the 3rd state of the button. How can I get that 3rd state to stay after user returns to the main screen?

Hi Elizabeth,
Since I just did this morning what you are currently attempting to do, I thought I'd share my method. I must provide a disclaimer and tell you that I am not an expert in Captivate advanced actions--like you, I am still figuring them out. However, I am happy to share here anything I have learned thus far.
First, here is what my initial slide looks like (see interaction slide below). I created all of the icons (including the 'grayed out' icon on the second screenshot) in a few minutes using Adobe Illustrator. The icons have been imported as custom multi-state buttons so that I could have the desired effect when the user hovers over the image--the yellow 'explore' flag appears only when the mouse is over the icon. When the learner click either image, they are sent to the corresponding slide. Once both slides are viewed, a 'continue' button will appear at the base of the screen (something I've not figured out--I sent an email to Lieve begging for some guidance).
The initial slide (interaction slide):
Second, here is a depiction of what happens when the learner returns to the interactive slide from the content slide (see image below): Once the learner visits the 'Battery Content' slide and then returns to the interaction slide, the images have changed. The multi-state button is hidden (through the advanced action), the replacement image (the image with the completed banner over it) is shown, and a hidden click box to allow the user to return to the previously visited page (just in case they desire to do that) is "shown" to allow navigation since the button is no longer there (because it is magically hidden).
Content Slide 1:
Remember, there may be an easier way to do this in Captivate. I am using Cp6 for this module.
1. I created two user variables as follows
Name: v_batteryExplore
Value: 0
Name: v_fuelExplore
Value: 0
2. I created an advanced action for each as shown below (showing only one--duplicate the first and change the names to match the content):
Credit: I learned these steps from @Lilibiri and Dr. Pooja Jaisingh!
I have also noticed that it matters where the buttons are located on the timeline. It seems best to have buttons above all other content. Not sure why, but I have had images not appear when I have not done this.
And the last step you do not want to forget; you need to remember to tell Captivate to use the action.
As a final note, remember that the elements you do not want to appear on the initial screen must not be initially visible. Make sure to set them to invisible by removing the checkmark in the 'Visible in output' box located next to the button name. In my case, the image of the completed battery and the invisible button to allow a revisit of content was initially hidden. Here is a final screenshot of my timeline for this interaction. I hope this information helps you!

When I open an app, it exits out of the app and returns to the home screen.

When I open up apps, it exits out and returns to the home screen.

That's not true. In most cases this is a memory issue and in some cases simply a bug. Most often it can be corrected by either resetting the iPad or closing all other apps and restarting the app in question.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.

I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

I am having an issue where safari keeps crashing and returning to the home screen on an ipad1

safari on my ipad1 keeps crashing and returning to the home screen. rebooting does not fix the problem neither has a full reset through itunes from a backup or setting up as a new machine. Cab nay body help?

If restoring from a backup doesn't help, you must have something corrupt in the backup - like a Safari bookmark perhaps - or something in the Safari history. Try the last tip in this list first.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close Safari and all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

See if the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad might also help.

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.

HT4623 I downloaded the ios 6 on my iphone. I'm having problems with applications. When I open any application, in seconds then closes and returns to the home screen. What could be happening?

Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything? I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

Some games it just stops and goes back to main screen

Has anyone ever had this happen? There are a few games lately, Angry Birds, Hanging with Friends (haven't even played it yet, just got it) and they get to a certain point and the screen just goes blank then goes back to main screen.

Try here:
