App won't fully open to operate

Application opens, then a loading bar comes up and never stops... no text in the window so I have no idea what is trying to load.

My computer crashed and when it restarted, pages won't fully open. I get a window with a loading bar that just rolls. There is no text in it, so I have no idea what it is. I've tried trashing preferences, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling without uninstalling and that didn't work. I think I really need to uninstall Pages, don't know how. I tried Yvan's script, but it didn't work... I get a syntax error.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

  • One of my apps won't stay open after iPad and app both had update

    After updating with the new update for the iPad I updated my nook app. Now my nook app won't stay open. I've restarted my iPad multiple times and tried it with and without wifi still won't stay open.

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

  • Suddenly Skype, Kobo and more apps won't load /open on my BBZ10

    Hi< I am hoping you can help
    Suddenly Skype, Kobo, iSpeech Translator, 8tracks, Shazam, SnapChat, Tumbler, iPrint&Scan (Brother), WinAmp, Block Puzzle, Avast and My Account App (Telus), won't load /open on my BBZ10. I am up to date in all of my software updates, I have deleted and reloaded Skype now twice, since this problem started in hopes that, this action might help.
    No luck, I have removed quite a few Apps, anything of significant file size, in hopes that memory space might help, but no luck. I have rebooted and pulled the battery  many times to solve this problem, with no luck.
    When I tap the app to open a black screen with a blue bar starts to load from left to right at the bottom of my screen, it gets about 1/3 of the way across the screen, and the app shuts down, and closes. Skype and Kobo both do this, I need both for Work, especially Skype though.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to give.
    Cheers! Sara

    I restored my phone for a second time and for some reason it fixed the issue with my contacts and phone apps. However, now it seems like my Mail app will not fetch my mail anymore. My last 6 emails don't have previews (I have mine set to preview the first 2 lines of the email). But all the previous emails do have the 2 line preview. This is very frustrating. This is my 3rd iPhone, I bought the original when it first released and skipped the 3G and bought the 3GS and now I currently own the 4S and this is the first problem I've ever had with an iPhone. I'm really trying to avoid having to speak with an Apple Genius - I shouldn't have to pay for my phone to get fixed because it's not a hardware issue and I couldn't even speak with Apple over the phone about it without an AppleCare plan. I'd much rather try to figure the problem out on my own. Any ideas?

  • Autodance/JustDance3 App won't stay open on iPhone 4S

    Hi. I have tried the two "fixes" as recommended by others on this site: 1) resetting my iPhone 4S (three times) and 2) I have also downloaded a new free app. Neither of those have fixed the problem. It only seems to be the Just Dance 3/Autodance app that won't stay open but I don't want to lose all my dancing videos on there as they cannot be recreated Please help me I've had the 4S from November 2011. I assume that if I delete the app and reinstall it that will delete all of my videos? I can't see another way to get the videos off the iPhone and on to my laptop. Very upset!

    Yes, have also contacted the app developer - no response as yet I can't seem to access ratings and reviews on iTunes on my laptop. I can't get on to the app store on my iphone currently as poor 3G signal :/
    From memory I think it has 5* reviews though. I hope someone has a fix for this.
    Do you know where the videos created are stored on the iPhone and if there is anyway to get them off and onto my laptop?
    Thanks for your reply

  • Firefox won't fully open, won't quit or force quit, and won't let computer shut down.

    No screen, so I can't start in safe mode; won't quit; won't force quit; won't let me uninstall the app; won't allow the computer to restart because the app is supposedly "open"

    Rebooting the computer should close everything.
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
    While you are in safe mode;
    Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

  • Power PC apps won't always open unless I quit another app

    I just added a 2GB chip to my Intel iMac thinking Rosetta was devouring all my memory and causing an occasional problem of apps (Power PC) not opening when I try to open them. I'm glad I added the RAM (I'll need it eventually), but the problem is still happening. Sometimes, I double-click on an app and nothing happens. Or I've seen an automatic app (Office Notifications) trying to open, appearing and disappearing in the dock, unable to do so.
    The apps that I seem to have the most problem with are Office X and Quicken 2004. Does the problem lie with those apps or is it something in the iMac itself?

    Are your PPC apps up to current versions? Give this a try and see if it helps:
    Open the Terminal app (Utilities folder) and at the prompt enter:
    sudo killall translated
    Press return. You will be prompted for your admin password which will not be echoed.
    If this helps then you can create an Applescript to run the command. Open the Applescript editor (/Applications/Applescript/ folder) and enter the following line:
    set mystring to do shell script "sudo killall translated" with administrator privileges
    Save the script then do a Save As and save it under a different name but this time as an application. If you have problems with a PPC app just double-click this application, authenticate, and it will run the Terminal command.

  • IPad (first generation) - apps won't stay open

    My 1st generation ipad is quickly losing battery power, even when turned off.  Also apps will not stay open.  Is this common?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, restore the iPad >  iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    If nothing helped, it may be time to take your iPad in for service >  Apple - Find Locations

  • My Firefox won't fully open.

    The other day it froze saying there was a script error, but would never fully close or let me do anything including restarting or shutting down my computer. Now Firefox will not open anything aside from the bar at the top and will not function, but continues to say my Firefox is in use and won't let me delete or replace the program.

  • Mail app won't stay open and keeps crashing

    I use iPhone 7.1. Every time I open my Mail app, it crashes. I don't know why.
    I have maybe 700,000 unread emails, fourteen different email accounts (8 Gmails, 2 iClouds, 2 Gmx's, and 2 AOLs, all of which are linked together through my Mail app), over 16,000 photos, and 0 bytes of free space left on my phone.
    I've had my phone since 23 May 2013.
    I bought it off Amazon for $161.
    How can I get my Mail app to work again? Whenever I open the Mail app, it stays open for about 60 seconds, then a black screen appears, and the Mail app crashes.

    Hi don290022,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's Mail application becoming unresponsive, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My development app won't fully transfer to my iPad.

    I try to sync my development app onto my iPad through iTunes and it gets stuck on the iPad saying it is installing with the icon shaded dark. It also continues to give the status as "installing" on iTunes on the computer. Earlier versions installed properly, but this one and the previous version won't install.

    The most likely cause is that your iPad's ID (UDID) is not included in your mobileprovision file. You might need to add the UDID to the Devices section in the IOS Dev site and rebuild your mobileprovision file with that new device selected. Another possible cause is that your certificates are out of date.

  • Installed 8.1.3. The Fitness Pal app won't stay opened. I click on the icon, it opens then closes without allowing me to enter my input.

    installed update 8.1.3 to my iPad and iPhone. As usual, I'm trying to access Fitness Pal app to enter data On to the iPad. The. App opens briefly then closes immediately before I can enter the data.

    Try to force close the app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    If that doesn't work. Delete it and reset your device.
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
    Then go back to the app store and your purchased items and redownload and reinstall the app.
    If it still doesn't work, check out the reviews for the app. Sometimes an update can break an app. And, unfortunately, the burden is on the app developer to keep their app working with Apple. If you look at the reviews - change the sort from most helpful to most recent- you can get an idea if others are having issues. If they are and if the update has broken the app, then  you have to wait for My Fitness Pal to fix their app.
