Apps won't display??

Downloaded new OS last night and now none of my apps will open. The native iPad apps open but nothing else. It seems they are running in the background since when I double click home they show up in the multitask bar but can not display. I have turned off multiple times and still nothing. Any help out there?

Download any free app.

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

Messages app won't display any windows

My Messages app (v 7.0.1) intermittently won't display any windows, not even the Preferences. I've tried reloading the app from Time Machine, but it won't let me replace an the current version.
I'm running a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz under 10.8.5.
Any ideas?

HI,
The Time Machine version needs to be the same version as is used in OS X 10.8.5
This will be version 7.0.1 which came with the OS X 10.8.2 update.
the Process should be to go to Applications and find the Messages app.
Then use the Time Machine icon in the Dock.
This will reduce the window and display the galaxy in the background.
On the right are the arrows and dates for moving "back in time".
The window should also have become "stacked" with those older versions behind.
Changing the date should file through the stacked windows until the process finds a change to the Applications Folder.
If you went back until a change in Messages you probably got the wrong version (or a version that will not work with a later version of the OS).
Try this:-
In any Finder window use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that now appears in the Menu list
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.ichat.plist
Drag it to the Trash and restart the app.
This .plist holds the windowing Info for the app.
I am presuming you have tried the keystrokes seen in the Window Menu of Messages ?
however it also holds all the info about the Preferences except for the accounts.
This means any change you have made from the Defaults will be reset.
The Messages section on Fonts and Colours is the most commonly changed.
All the Alerts will be reset if you changed them.

My Macbook Pro Mail App won't display badges

I have a mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro, running on OSX Mavericks. About a week ago, I noticed that my emails were coming in but my mail app wasn't displaying notification badges. I would have to actually reopen the app to see if I had messages. The app is currently running on the dock. I've tried restarting the app, checked the notification preferences, etc. I can't seem to find the solution. Maybe someone out there can help me?

Do you have System Preferences,Software Update set to automatically down load updates?

Terminal.app won't display OpenType fonts (.otf)

Where the characters should be, blanks are displayed. This is a serious problem for me because, while I use Monaco in my terminal, the fallback font for Japanese characters is Hiragino, which is an OpenType font: as a result, Japanese text is not visible in my terminal.
Here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/wlNPV.png
Note that, since I set the system's language to Japanese, most of the text in Terminal's preferences is also invisible.
The problem only seems to occur in Terminal.app, and does not affect other users on the same machine (I tried logging in as guest). It occurs with all OpenType fonts I tried, not just Japanese ones.
Strangely, if I delete Terminal's preferences, the problem almost disappears (except that it still says ル in the window's title bar instead of ターミナル); however, if I close and relaunch Terminal, the problem immediately reoccurs, even though the preferences file is pristine.
I tried resetting the ATS cache (atsutil databases -remove) and restarting in safe mode, but the problem still occurs. I've tried googling around, and I found some other people mentioning the same problem, but no solution. Can you help?

I've got the same problem with my new MBP 2011 with Snow Leopard and it really annoys me as I'm dealing with multilingual texts every day.
What surprises me is that I had no problems at all since MacOs 10.1 and now it appears in 10.6 !
Back in the old days I had to put a .inputrc file for displaying Japanese characters but that was not a big deal.
When I create a new account, it works for a few hours (Japanese characters display well even with menlo or courier fonts set as default). But after a few manipulations here and there (that do not seem related to terminal or fonts like setting my iTunes account) and a couple of reboots, the problem reappears again, ie the Japanese characters do not display again.
I can temporarily solve the problem by using the Osaka font but 1 it is not nicely displayed with irregular spaces between characters and 2 when I want to display other characters (thai, khmer or whatever), I have to change the default font again. This is a real pain in the neck.
I read in another thread that there is a solution to convert the OpenType Font you wish to use into a TrueType font but it is not a solution for me neither as there is no existing font that covers all the unicode characters.
Is Apple aware of this bug? Did they acknowledge that there is a problem?
If someone finds a solution, I'll be really happy.

Ipad mail.app won't display unread msgs in subfolders on IMAP server

Mail.app on my MBP (Snow Lion) reads all the unread messages (using a smart mailbox) in the sub-folders on the IMAP server I use (shared hosting).
Mail.app on my iPad 3 (and Sparrow too for that matter) will not display All Unread Messages (my caps, as an example). If I tunnel down into a sub-folder it displays them correctly with the Unread flag but there appears to be no equivalent of the Smart Mailbox Unread Mail in mail.app SL on the iPad.
Have I missed something or does this capacity not exist in iPad's Mail.app?

Apple Podcast app won't display past episodes of The Rachel Maddow Show. Does anybody know why you can only listen to the episode from the last day, and then it disappears?

I love the Rachel Maddow Show but rarely get to watch it on TV. So I rely on the podcasts to listen to every day. I've been using Stitcher but Apple's more recent Podcast app has much better functionality (downloading episodes to listen to on the subway & plane, for instance). However, for some reason (and it appears to only be TRMS podcasts), the Apple Podcast app ONLY displays the last episode. For some reason, each day, the last episode disappears from the app.

Same here! Older episodes don't necessarily disappear as soon as new ones come in; sometimes I have a few episodes on the iPhone, and can listen to them normally. But then I'll look later, and all but the latest will have disappeared. I'll have to start paying attention to discover what triggers the wipe; my guess is that syncing with iTunes does it, but I don't know yet.
Whatever the cause, it's odd. I thought that perhaps queued episodes would stick around if I partially listened to them (thus ensuring that they get actually downloaded, I'd think), but partially-viewed episodes and unviewed episodes both disappear. I can understand that an episode that never got downloaded might become unavailable after a day or few, but why would one already downloaded get automatically erased?
It's also worth noting that I don't have the problem in iTunes on the Mac. Episodes there stick around in the normal fashion. The problem is just on my iPhone, and just with this one podcast.
If anyone knows what's up, please tell!

Remote app won't display album artwork on IPhone 5s

Hi All,
When I connect my IPhone 5s to my iTunes library (mac mini) the album artwork is not displayed. Instead; there's text (Artist, Album and song title) where the artwork should be.
My friends and family with various other iOS devices have the artwork display fine! What's wrong with my IPhone?!
Please help!
Message was edited by: Griffo

iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1
Removing then restoring the music library still showed unsynced artwork.
The problem was eliminated (finally!) after I deleted all downloaded artwork. Some but not all songs had the proper artwork embedded in their files. It appears that iTunes for Windows displays the proper embedded artwork but in Music on the iPhone the downloaded artwork over-rode the embedded artwork and was out-of-sync.
Upon deleting all downloaded artwork many albums' artwork was blank, both in iTunes for Windows and Music on the iPhone but at least artwork was synced! I copied artwork images off the Internet and embedded artwork in music files. Sync problem resolved.
This is costly in file space; there'd be a single instance of downloaded artwork per album vs. multiple instances of artwork in embedded files. So be it.
Perhaps if I had deleted all embedded artwork and relied solely on downloaded artwork.... will remain unanswered.

Spotify Desktop App Won't Display Anything

As the title says, when I open Spotify it doesn't display anything other than the tabs at the top. When I try to click on anything in the tabs it does nothing. I am using Windows 7. Would appreciate any help with this. Thanks, Andrew

Hi there and welcome to the community,
Where did you download this client? This doesn't look like the original client. More looks like a webplayer iFrame.
I'd recommend to uninstall that version, then download Spotify from this page.

Open apps won't display in dock

Had Lion since developer beta, never had this problem, not sure when it came about either.
If I launch an app that isnt in the dock, the icon doesn't appear.
Similarly, the safari icon doesnt have an open indicator under it.
Any thoughts on how to fix it?
Regards

I doubt this is an Apple ID issue, and I don't see that reformatting should be any kind of solution before checking the basics first, such as the deck's plist, etc.
cmcgarr, next time you have what you want it in your dock, you need to right-click on that item, select
Options, and then Keep in Dock.
Let me know how it goes, thanks.
P.S. If you are using any soft of guest account, what you're seeing happening here, is exactly what is supposed to happen. So, you may want to tell us more info on the account you've using.

New iPad 3d gen won't display email attachment???

Hallo,
I have the new iPad with retina display, and I've recently noticed that the default mail app won't display the mail attchaments even though the incoming mails sport the paper clip symbol. In contrast to my iPad, my iPhone 4 opens the attachments from the same mails without any difficulty. I'll sum it up once more time to prevent any misunderstandings. The problem is not the fact that my iPad can't open the attachments but rather the attachments are nowhere to be found. This is a huge bug or what?
Ps: please don't tell me to restart my iPad or do a hard reset. Dohhhh! Thx.
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Well duh ... I still don't understand what the heck you mean and frankly, so are there no misunderstandings - your statement makes no sense to me.
If you can open the attachments that is where they are - on the screen of the iPad - you just opened them. Where do you expect them to be?
You open the attachment and then you need a compatible app in which to save the attachment. If you are stating that the attachment opens but is not visible - that is something different. I have never seen that before.

Mail app won't show photos

This problem exists in all three new iPhone 4s's in my family: The Mail app won't display some photos attached to emails. Some photos show up, others don't. All are jpeg's with the proper .jpg appendage, all are relatively small files (approx 200kb). The ones that show up and the ones that don't are the same in all three iPhones. The photos all do show up on desktop and laptop computers. On the iPhones, in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calenders/Load Remote Images is turned on. I tried turning the setting off, then on, tried rebooting the iPhone, nothing works.

lou tetl,
The list in iTunes under the Info tab is the list of accounts you can transfer the settings for from your computer directly to the iPhone.
It is not a list of the accounts on the iPhone, or a list of all accounts on your computer.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Private Photos App - pictures not displaying This app was working fine, then suddenly it won`t display any of the photos.

This app was working fine, then suddenly it won't display any of the photos. One day the photos were there, gone the next. It still shows how many photos are there but just shows a white screen. I can't export anything to the photo album. Adding photos to existing folders yields the same result, only white screen displayed. However, I can create new albums and add photos to those without issue. Does anybody know how to recover the "missing" photo" I was going to try reinstalling the app but it's no longer available in the iTunes App Store. Thanks, Tracy

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

PDF files won't display. Error message "Missing Plug-ins"

Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine. Just in the past 2 days is the check plug-ins test saying Adobe reader is not installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but still saying it is not installed. I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine. When I try to view a websites brochure, a websites sale paper, or maybe open up an article, the page pops up but the image won't display. It keeps saying "missing Plug-ins". I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail. None of them worked. I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email. I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app. HELP!!
