Apps are not opening up when I click on them

When I first bought my computer I was able to click on the apps and they opened up fine. Now for some reason when I click on them they dont open up. Only my desktop one opens. Help please

when I click on them they dont open up. Only my desktop one opens.
We can't see your computer, and you don't tell us much. I'll guess that you have Windows 8, and that you are talking about the "metro apps" on the Start screen.
There have been reports that anti-malware programs sometimes interfere with apps running. Does that ring a bell?
Otherwise, maybe something here helps.

Always tell which computer you have. There is a label on the bottom.

  • My pictures will not open. When I click on them they only display a grey triangle and an exclamation mark inside it.

    I know how I messed it all up.
    I opened up Finder from the bottom dock and saw all my files including pics. Trying to free up as much space as possible on my pc I selected all and then deleted it. I thought because it is all in iphoto ,deleting it from Finder will not take it off everywhere. Later on I emptied the trash. When I finally realised that I had messed up I just went back on Time Machine and restored.
    Now I can see what looks like all the files again it is there in Finder but when I try and open the pics in iphoto it simply shows a grey triangle with an exclamation mark in it?
    I tried dragging them all into my iphoto from Finder but it said I do not have enough space.
    Please help I am new to Apple.

    1 - NEVER make any changes of any sort tot he content or structure of the iPhoto library using the finder - there are no user servicable parts in it
    2 - what did you restore from Time Machine? and how did you restore?
    3 - how much free space do you have on your hard drive?

  • Icons for apps are not being displayed when I open the App store, just getting gray color boxes

    Did you update your operating system?  If so, did it solve the problem?  I have not updated my OS because so many people complained that the newer Os's had problems.

  • Hi iPad 2 apps are not opening? Can anybody help please.

    Hi iPad 2 apps are not opening? Can anybody help me please.

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app '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 each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try 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.

  • Apps are not opening in my Nokia Lumia 530!!

    Many apps are not opening in my Lumia 530. For example, when I click on hike messenger it shows hike starting image and then the screen got black. After 2 or 3 seconds the home page of my phone opens. What should I do? Please help.
    Don't suggest me to reset my phone. I can't do it in any condition.

    Good day, sagarji. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! Are there any applications installed on your Lumia 530 before this issue came up? Does this happen to all applications whether downloaded on preinstalled ones? Before the apps crashes or kicks you out, does the phone show any error message?
    Try rebooting your phone by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds until it restarts. This won't delete anything in your device, but you may need to re-set up the phone's date and time settings. 
    Let us know how it will go. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! 

  • Apps are not opening on my iPad AIR iOS 7.1.1

    Hello,
    This is Soham Roy,
    I recently purchased Apple iPad AIR 32 GB WiFi... After upgrading it to iOS 7.1.1 from iOS 7.0, apps are not opening... After downloading apps from App Store when I am tapping it to open... The screen stuck and then black screen appears... Please Help me regarding the same.
    Regards,
    SOHAM ROY

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and then try again.

    Hi,
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If after reboot that doesn't help...
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • Itunes does not open. When I click on itunes it jumps ones and does not open in macbookpro

    Hey sebasac,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes on a Mac. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue by starting iTunes in safe mode:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
    There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
    - Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
    - Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
    - Slow performance.
    - iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
    - You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
    If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
    "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
    If the above does not resolve your issue, I’d like to isolate further by testing in another user account:
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
    Symptoms
    When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
    Resolution
    The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My Reminders app will not open. When I try to open it, quits and gives me an error message: "Reminders quit unexpectedly while using the CalDAV plug-in." My Reminders is synced with my iPod touch, and it is fine on that. How do I fix it?

    Also, the Calendar is loading very very slowly, and sometimes it quits and gives me the same error message as above.

    The problem has been fixed with the most recent OS X software update.

    Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
    Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
    Reboot 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.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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 back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
    And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

    my downloaded apps are not opening, they flash and then shut down. This hapened after i upgraded to the 5.0. How do i fix it!? I've tried everything

    You need to resync you applications or redownload them for free via app store. They may be read by your phone, but they are really not there. Re downloading will fix this.
