App not opening in iphone

I updated ios 7 on both my ipad and iphone. I am unable to access a "Christmas list" app on the phone, but am on the ipad. Unfortunately, my list is not on the ipad, but on the phone. I have closed the app, and restarted the phone. Suggestions?

Third Party Apps Not Opening on iPhone 5 using iOS 6.0.2

I have an iPhone 5 and am using iOS 6.0.2 and recently certain third party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Shazzam for instance, no longer open. When I tap on the app, the app comes up on the screen for about a second, and then closes. What's strange is that I've been using iOS 6.0.2 and have also been using the most updated versions of the apps without any issues. The crashing started happening around last Friday. Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem so far but none of these options have worked:
- I restarted my phone by holding down the home button and the lock button.
- I turned my phone off and turned it on again.
- I deleted the apps and reinstalled them and then restarted my phone.
- I downloaded a random free app, opened it, and then tried opening the apps that kept crashing.
- I restored my phone and synced it using the most recent back up I had, which was from earlier that day.
I did find a temporary solution, that allows the apps to open but I think it's because the apps are not the most recent versions.
- I restored my phone and set it up as a new phone. The phone then downloaded all of the apps again and re-synced everything. The apps did open after that however, when I went to the app store, it said that I had 24 available updates. I updated all of the apps to their most up to date versions and then noticed that they once again stopped opening and would crash almost immediately after launching them.
- I then restored my phone again and set it up as a new phone and did not update the 24 apps and all but one of them work. The only app that I've noticed that still doesn't work is the Blackboard Eats app. It still crashes almost immediately after launching it.
I took my phone to the Genius Bar this weekend (which is where I was told to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone). I'm thinking that the issue is purely a software issue, but is there any chance that it could be a hardware issue?
I suppose I could just not update the apps, but I'm hoping there's a better solution than that. What's weird is that the phone was working with iOS 6.0.2 and all of the most up to date versions of the apps less than a week ago and it seems that somehow, overnight, they stopped working.
Is anyone else running into this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

The music player does not remember where the last session ended. I have about 1000 songs on my iPhone. I play the songs in the Shuffle mode - and it worked fine on iOS 5.x. Ever since I updated to iOS 6.0, the shuffle seems to be seriously broken. It repeats the song sequence of previous session in the exact order instead of starting from where the session ended. God forbid if your last session was 10-25 songs long - you'll have to hit the Next song so many times to listen to something that you have not heard for a while.

Apps not opening on iphone 4 with new IOS 6.1 upgrade

Ever since I update my IOS on my iphone 4 to 6.1, My applications are not opening properly. Most of the time the will appear as if they are opening but nothing loads up in them. I have tried various resets and nothing has fixed it. I hope this bug gets fixed soon. It's super annoying.
The phone often times will become unresponsive.
In addition to the app issue and the unresponsivness , My battery life has diminished severely. I used to go 2 days without charging my phone but now i dont think i will make it half a day. I'm sure im not the only one having these issues.

Thanks - for some reason I thought several functions of Siri was available, but I guess I was incorrect.

Email app not opening on iphone 5?

whenever i try to open the email app on my iphone, it expand to fill the screen, but then flashes back to the home screen before it loads. the app does start running and i can see it in the list of open apps, but it's a white screen and it always takes me straight back to the home screen when i tap on it.
i still get notifications from the app - it's still picking up the emails, notifications come at the top of the screen telling me what the email is, and there's a badge on the app, but i just can't open it to actually read the emails.
the first thing i did was restart my iphone, but that didn't help. i then tried a hard restart, but still nothing changed. any help?

I've been having the same problem, after I was attempting these fixes for another problem (the great "Delete All" riddle - but that's for another time).
(Delete all email in Inbox iOS7)
So just so I'm clear, to restore, I just choose a saved backup from, say, the day before the problem started?
Thanks.

When I click on Creative Cloud logo, indicator for time passing goes for a few seconds and stops, but app not opening (it used to). Any ideas?

I've never used this feature to ask a question. Pardon not knowing etiquette and such. When I click on Creative Cloud logo/icon on my desktop, the indicator for time passing goes for a few seconds and stops, but CC app not opening.
CC app used to work on this same computer a few months ago. No changes to operating system. Photoshop is still working. Just wanted to download Lightroom and perhaps begin learning it, but to no avail.
Tried to look for a way to reinstall Adobe CC, but it says I already have it.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Timothy

How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

Some apps crash. If they do, try this, in order.
1. Double click your home button and put your finger on any app and hold for a second. Then delete that app. You're not deleting the app from your phone, so don't worry. Then try opening the app again.
2. If that doesn't work, hold your sleep+home buttons for 10 seconds and don't let go. Ignore the power off message. Then try again.
3. If that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it. (This will work most of the time)
4. If that doesn't work, download the app on iTunes on your computer and sync it from there.
5. If that doesn't work, wait for an update by the developers.

I recently updated to Yosemite and now I am having problems with the above mentioned apps, not opening at all.
I am unable to check to which version its update to, or even update to next version.

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

You will need to try to restore your iPhone (preferably from the same computer that you most recently synced to).
Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

Follow the instructions very carefully.

TS1702 What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found"

What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found". None of the Apple suggestions fix the problem. For example, with Animoto, one of the problem apps, I have removed it, reinstalled it, and still get the eoor message.

Of course.
First of all, this started when an external drive i was using died on me. I have no doubt that these apps indeed are off my system. I figure between the apps I've bought for myself and my kid, I have about 150 apps.
Now. The issue.
When I sync my iPad with iTunes on my desktop, it goes through normally until it gets to the apps. When that happens, it get an error box that reads "Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPad because one or more errors occurred. For a list of appps that could not be installed, click on the triangle below."
Then I get a list of apps.
(Added note to any iTunes developers out there: The titles of the apps in this list do not always match the titles of the apps in the App Store. For example, one was called "MuseumGame" on my iPad. It's called "Museum of Thieves" on the App Store. I started out with a list of 60 apps. It was a major pain to track them all down. It would be nice to have everything the same so I can use the App Store search more effectively.)
Anyway, moving on....
The error message stops my sync until I dismiss it. That, honestly, is what makes this whole thing annoying enough to seek out an answer. I can't let my iPad start syncing and walk out of the room. Yeah. I know. First World problems.
Once I dismiss the error, the sync continues and all is well.
I did the following to try to fix the problem. Mostly, I did a lot of searches:
My list of purchased apps on my iPad both using the search box and by going to every page
Searched the main App Store on my iPad using the search field. When that didn't work, I used wider searches and just scanned the page(s) for the little cloud icon that showed I had purchased the app.
I got on my desktop iTunes and searched the apps from there (without a lot of hope, but trying to be complete)
At that point, I came to the conclusion that a small number of the apps are no longer available on the App Store.
Fine. I didn't want them anyway.
I got into iTunes and went to the Apps page. None of the errant apps showed up there. I searched the iTunes help files. Nothing. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer to the search engine gods, and tried Google. I found some things that sort of matched but they basically boiled down to "re-download the app from the App Store" or "Restore your iPad".
So I spent a couple of hours restoring my iPad. I got the error message again. I hit Google again and came up with this thread. It was as close to my problem as I found.
I think that brings us up to date.
My fundamental problem is that I seem to have found a scenario where if you have to restore apps (because, perhaps, your external drive died) and some of the apps are no longer available for download, there is an error generated that can not be permanently dismissed.
Did I miss anything important?

IPhone 3GS Camera App and Photo App Not Opening

Hi, my iPhone 3GS Camera Application and the Photo Application (Base Apple Photo-related apps "Photos", "Camera") will not open. When I tap either of them, it takes me back to the Home Screen and for a brief moment says "Library Updating", I have been waiting over a day for this to work and it still wont open.
If more information is required please specify what areas are needed below.
Thanks,
Datzy.

(windows) and browse for the photos and keep it some place else...

My newly downloaded apps will not open on iPhone 6 8.3

Hi,
I've been having an issue with my new iPhone 6+ that will not open any newly downloaded apps. They instantly close upon trying to open them. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know of a solution?
I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall all the apps giving me issues but this did not solve my issue. I am trying to prevent doing a full wipe of the phone so any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Apps will not open on iPhone 4s

I have a iPhone 4s and it's my first iPhone. I'm having problems with apps (Facebook, Instagram, games, etc). When I first installed them they worked fine, but after a while they all stopped working - when I touch one of the apps to open it, it will shake, my screen will briefly go black (like it's opening it), and then I'll be back to my main screen again. I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the apps, which worked for a bit, but now I'm back to the same problem.
Any advice/suggestions would be great, thank you

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore (first from backup, then as new). Have these all been tried?
