All my downloaded apps won't open!

Hi,
I have a brand new iPhone 4S and since this morning, all the apps that I have been using for a week won't open. When touching the icon, screen fades to black for about a second and just comes back to the menu. Any ideas?

Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.
Best of luck.

  • My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

    My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

    Try:
    Reset the iOS device (no data will be lost). Press and hold the Home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. See if the problem persists after the device reboots (it might take a while).
    Download any free app, and then see if any of the other apps, after being re-downloaded, will open.
    Good luck!

  • All my purchased apps won't open, what's the problem and what should I do?

    All my purchased apps won't open even if I tried turning off and turning back my iPhone on (3 times). Need help, please.... Thanks!

    Are you, or have you ever been jail broken? If you were, and installed apps from installous, they wont work without app sync installed. You need to be jail broken to install that, and I see you're on 4.3.2, for which there is no jailbreak yet. If you werent jail broken, however, follow the above posters advice and restore in iTunes.

  • My downloaded apps won't open

    All my downloaded apps on my ipad 2 wont open. When in press to open any of them, they just close within three seconds. I shut down my ipad for numerous times and even removed all the apps from the memory.  It is also up to date with latest OS. What can i do?

  • All third party apps won't open after moving to 4g

    I updated the desktop to iTunes 10 and downloaded all of the updates to my iPod apps. I bought a new 4g to replace a lost 2g. I synced after dl'ing app updates to the desktop.
    All 3rd party apps only open and close all in 1/2 second.
    Will the suggestion on the support page about reauthorizing the computer help this issue?
    I haven't been able to get back home to try. Thanks.
    (disregard specs below.... I still have all that, but now I'm on my 4gTouch)

    Sorry, I was sending that from my iPod.
    I lost my last iPod. It was backed up on iTunes on my Desktop computer. It was a 2G model.
    I've been off the internet for about 4 months but recently bought a new 4G Touch and got a new Broadband2Go card.
    So, I used my Desktop computer to update all the apps for my Touch to iTunes on my Desktop, then I synced my iPod to my Desktop to apply all of the updates to the Touch.
    All apps are there, just like before, but nothing will open. Only the Apple apps. They flash but close right away.
    I'm home now, and will try the Apple suggestion in the FAQ.
    I just wanted to make sure it was the best way to approach my particular problem.

  • HT201272 New downloaded app won't open

    I downloaded the good news bible alp and it won't open. It is loaded but does not open.
    Thanks

    Have you tried closing that app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag that app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset and see if it works when your phone has rebooted : 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 equivalent of a reboot.
    A third option is to delete the app from your phone and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
    If it still doesn't work then try contacting the developer.

  • Downloaded App won't open.

    I downloaded Civilization V from the App store. However, when I tried to open the app, I received the following message:
    “Civilization V: Campaign Edition.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “Civilization V: Campaign Edition.app” and download it again from the App Store.
    I deleted the app and downloaded it again. Same problem. Is there a solution to this problem? (By the way, I downloaded a free app to see if that would open. It did without a problem). Ialso shut down the computer and restarted it... That didn't help.

    Mark ...
    Since you can download and open free apps, then the issue is with the Civilization app.
    1.  Contact the app developer >  Aspyr Support : Submit a request for assistance
    2.  If you do not receive a reply within three business days, contact Apple > Mac App Store - Contact Support
    3.  And you can report problems here > How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase

  • Downloaded apps won't open

    I am using an iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.2.
    I have been playing a number games with premium currency that can be gained through downloading and running apps. Recently, however, I have been having some difficulty with this. The apps seem to be running as normal but do not appear on the phone once completed, and selecting "open" in the App Store does nothing. Furthermore, when going to Settings > General > Usage the icons and the size of the apps are listed, but the name is blank. At first I thought this may be a problem caused by going through the game's rewards system, but I have since tried previously installed apps from iTunes and completely new apps, and the same occurs with both.
    This is an issue I've faced in the past, but it seems to be occurring more frequently since I installed the latest system update.
    Any suggestions?

    If you suspect it could be a problem with App World (as it appears to be), reloading your OS using BlackBerry Desktop Software should correct the problem.
    I hope that helps you.
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

    Try close all inactive apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
    Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

  • All my 3rd party apps won't open on my iPhone 4.

    Recently all my apps won't open on my iPhone. All the stock Apple apps work though. All the 3rd party apps don't work. What can I do? I tried resetting, and restoring. What else should i try?

    I'm also going through this problem and the only way to fix it (as far as I know) is go to App Store in your iPhone and download any random app (free app preferably), then make sure all your 3rd party apps work again and delete the random app you just downloaded.

  • I just downloaded new software and now some of my apps won't open

    i have downloaded the new software and now some of my apps won't open. Can anyone help

    some apps need to be updated by the developer to work with the new iOS version
    check app store app for updates or arm yourself with patience it's pretty common for that to happen with major iOS updates
