Apps flash on for a second then close again

When I click on the app icon, they flash for a second then go away.  I can still get Internet and my email.
.  Any suggestions?

I had tried that before I posted but after reading your suggestion I tried it again.  I had also tried downloading a random app but I couldn't get it to load one.  I tried the reset again, still nothing but then downloaded an app and this time success!  Thanks for your answer.  Perseverance paid off.  I'm back in business! Thank you.

  • When I try to add a comment under a YouTube video I'm not able to ... I get a redirected to another page that "flashes" open for a second then closes?

    This problem just started about three days ago. Before that I was able to click in the comment box under a YouTube video and leave my comment.
    The page that opens for a second shows the following when I look at my History in Firefox:
    Google plus: real life sharing, rethought for the web
    https://plus.google.com/u/0/wm/4/up/?type=st&client=7&gpsrc=gpfw0&parent=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com&proxy=I0_1396713849602&rsz=1&hl=en_US
    What is this and how do I fix this problem? (BTW: This doesn't happen when I use another browser ... but I use Firefox exclusively and would like to continue.)

    Hi GrizzlyJoe,
    This happened a few weeks ago to me. I had to clear the cache and log out then back in. Have you tried this already? [[Remove recent browsing, search and download history]]
    Also are you commenting from a session in youtube or one from an embedded video?

    I was unable to access the laptop last night to create a new user; however my client would perfer not to try a second account since that would make it unusable for him while we test the second profile.
    Also John Sophos was installed after this started to verify that it was not a virus/malware (I know pointless step but it has happened to me before) so I don't think that is the problem

    2. Hold the Notes app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

  • I click Mail, it opens for 2 seconds, then closes down to main menu?!?!?

    I have searched and can't find this answer.
    I suspect it has something to do with my home computer and iphone together.
    I click on MAIL it goes to MAIL for 2 seconds, then it shoots back to the MENU page of my iphone - can anyone tell me how to stop this?? This is my last resort!

    Hi,
    Try forcing the Mail app to close and then launching it again. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1445 will walk you through forcing an app to quit.
    If the issue persists, try restarting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again.
    If its still happening, you can try removing the email account from the iPhone and then adding it again or restoring the iPhone.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

  • When I open any of my apps,it just opens for a second and closes again.Why is that?

    Today my iPod touch ran out of charge and  when I started charging it and turned on,I tried opening Messanger,and it opened for a second,then closed immediately.Then I tried opening Viber,same thing happened.Same thing happened with all my other apps.Can I fix this in any way?

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • My apps on my iPod touch only open for a second then close, I tried the reset option of holding down the power button for ten seconds still no apps that I have down loaded will open just the one that are on the iPod like music app store whether time etc.

    My apps on my I pod touch will not open.  They start to load for one second close down.  I tried holding down the power button to reset it.  And that didn't work. Is the only option is to delete all apps and then reload them?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • BB Curve tried 2 new batteries won't charge - battery icon flashes yellow for few seconds then shows a black plug

    BB Curve 9360. Please help.
    My 6 month old battery stopped taking a charge.  Had left to charge overnight from the mains and phone was dead in morning.  Wouldn't turn on or take a charge.
    Had a spare battery from before and tried this.  Charged to 25% and then showed battery icon with black plug and wouldn't take any more.  If unplug and re-plug, shows yellow flash as if charging for a few seconds and then shows black plug.  25% charge runs down very quickly.
    Bought a new battery.  Exactly same experience. Sometimes gets between 5 - 25% charge but mostly is completely dead and not enough power to get beyond red flashing indicator.
    Tried on and off.  Tried taking out battery (many times!).  Tried taking battery out while charging, waiting 30 seconds and then replacing battery (many times).  Tried 3 other chargers, both from mains and from USB.
    Have left it plugged in for hours even when showing black plug or just empty red battery - nothing.  Just dies completely and hard to get enough power to get started again.
    Left it unplugged and without battery for 2 days.  Plugged into mains, got yellow flash and then black plug.  Every time got black plug would unplug and re-plug to get yellow flashing back.  Got it to 80% that time.  But now gone back to only reaches 5% or won't take a charge and just red batterys sometimes with black plug or just empty, red flashing indicator.
    Plugged into BB desktop manager to back up and checked for software updates.  No updates available.
    Only thing I can think is mini USB slot on BB is broken and need a new phone.  Any ideas of anything else to try before bite the bullet???  Thank you!!

  • Restored iphone but apps pop up for a second then go away

    I keep trying to download apps but once i download and install them i click on them the first screen appears then disappears. I restored my phone and resynced without apps, but will still not allow me to run new apps

    There have been a number of threads on this over the past few weeks. It looks like this is becomming a more common problem.
    The way to fix it (temporarily at least) is to reinstall an App. A backup and restore may work, but it is bit more drastic... Try the repurchase an app method first.
