Apps won't open after IOS5. Re-synced but still won't open.  Is there a way to delete them and then reload them again?

I had no problem in downloading a free app after updating to IOS5.  I thought everything was o.k. but when I tried to launch an app, it just blinked and nothing happens.  I had a notification before updating to IOS5 that I should back up my app purchases.  All of the apps I had were free so I ignored it.  Well, that appears to be my problem.  Now, my Ipad shows the apps but they don't work.  Is there a way to delete them so that I could reload them again?

Did you try syncing with iTunes again since you update the software? You could try that first. connect the iPad to your computer and sync again - not WiFi sync - traditional, old fashioned sync. You will have to turn off WiFi sync in iTunes and then hit the apply button.
Or you could try these basic troubleshooting steps.
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.
Reset 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.

  • I have about 300 podcasts in my itunes account.  They are all checked.  I want to uncheck them all and then just check back the ones I want to sync to my Ipod. Is there a way to select all and then uncheck them?

    I have about 300 podcasts in my itunes account.  They are all cheked so they sync to my Ipod.  I want to uncheck them all at once and then check just the ones I want to sync.  Is there a way to do a "select all" vs having to uncheck them one at a time?

    Plug in your ipod and navigate to it in itunes, then select the 'Podcast' tab from along the top.
    The first line where it says 'Automatically include' then two drop down boxes saying 'all unplayed' and 'all episodes' need changing.
    Change the drop down box that says 'all episodes' so that it reads 'selected episodes'
    You should then be able to go through your collection below and check only the podcasts you want to sync.
    You can do this show by show or if you clickt the show itself in this window, on a podcast by podcast basis.
    You can use these to drop down boxes to set all kinds of rules for syncing your podcasts, such as
    syncing all the latest podcasts, or just all of them or even the last 5 recent podcasts.
    I tend to go for 'Automatically include [all unplayed] of [selected episodes]
    Then just choose which podcasts I want to listen too,
    Hopefully this picture will help you find your way ^_^

  • HT3964 I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation.  Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation. 
    Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again
    whenever I turn it on it loads that far and then closes.
    HELP!

    Restore your bootable backup/clone  or Time Machine backup of Snow Leopard, launch Disk Utility from the install disc, repair the boot volume, and reinstall Lion.

  • My daughter got an ipad, I now have her ipod. Both have the same username and password so when I sinc the ipod on my computer it downloads all of her games/music. Is there a way to delete everything and start over so that I can have only my apps/music?

    My daughter got an ipad so I took her ipod. The problem is both of them have the same user id and password so when I sinc the ipod to itunes, it downloads all of her apps/music that I don't want to the ipod. Is there a way to wipe out everything on the ipod and change the username/password (I guess) so that when I sinc it, it doesnt download her stuff?  Also, there are a few songs that I have purchased through iTunes that I would like to keep, can I do this or will I have to re-purchase the music again?

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • If I had an app from another account on my device, deleted it and then downloaded it again on my account, would my saves be intact?

    Here's the deal: when I first got my iPod Touch, my best friend sent me some of his purchased games so I can play them on my device. I recently had to do a restore to my device and said games have been wiped off. Now, I do have them backed up on a DVD somewhere, but I don't want to go through the trouble of finding it now. So, my question is: If I download/purchase those games again, would my save files and progress be saved in my GameCenter ID or not?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Only if the game status is maintained on a server. Most Game Center games are that way.

    Apps will not open after ios5 install.  Any solutions?

    My husband had the same problem with some apps after I updated his iPad 2 to iOS 5.  I checked the app store and there were updates for the apps to support the new software.  After updating, all apps work just fine.

  • Non-Apple apps don't open after iOS5 upgrade (with fix)

    Hi, I thought I'd add this thread in case it's useful to someone else with the same problem.
    I had a iPhone 4 on latest 4.3.5 and upgraded via iTunes to iOS5 this morning.
    None of my non-Apple apps would open, they'd just open and close instantly. So Facebook, Tweetdeck, Things, BBC News etc wouldn't work but ones like Reminders, App Store etc would.
    I did a restore and restore from a backup and this didn't fix the problem.
    I removed the apps from memory (home double-click) and rebooted the phone and still the non-Apple apps wouldn't load.
    So finally I thought I'd reinstall the apps from scratch, deleted Facebook and grabbed it again from the App Store.
    This worked and fired up as normal, tried the others non-Apple apps and they all work too!
    No idea why, not sure if it's specifically the Facebook app or if I could have done that too any of them.
    All sorted now and iOS5 is lovely

    Confirmed!
    I had the same problem, deleted a weather app (so no valuable data attached to it) re-installed it and all the other apps seem to work again.
    Which single app you delete & reload doesn't seem to matter, I think you just need to re-establish the connection between the device and your App Store account in order to trigger some kind of background authorization.
    It might also work by deleting nothing and just grabbing a new, free app.

  • I have a 2008 imac, and trying to use the latest iPhoto app. But it won't open. I have installed the library upgrade but still won't open?

    I have a 2008 mac, and am trying to use the latest iPhoto app. But it won't open. I have installed the library upgrade but still won't open?

    Why not? We can not see you so you have to give us details
    Did you run the iPhoto Library upgrader after you installed it - if not backup your iphoto library and go to the utilities folder in your Applications folder and double click on the iphoto library upgrader and RUN i - then launch iphoto 9.6 to complete the upgrade

  • Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

    Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

    Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

  • HT1937 I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened

    I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

    Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
    I hope I helped
    thanks

    Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:

    * You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
    ** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
    **Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''<u>before</u>''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    ** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''<u>one at a time</u>''' until the problem reappears. '''<u>You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change</u>''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
