Apps won't open, restored, 2days later same trouble. Did I buy a lemon, only one week old

Downloaded apps will not open, preinstalled do. iPod less than a week old. Have updated. Restored 2days ago for same problem. Now same problem. Also FaceTime will not work. Please help. Did I get a lemon?

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 iPad/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 iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

    Try to force quit 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.

  • FCStudio Apps won't open

    Hey all,
    Final Cut Studio apps won't open.  I thought maybe it was tied to the latest ProApp Codec update (1.0.5) as I was having problems getting that to load correctly.  I fixed that issue and all my codecs are up to date.  When I click on the FCP Icon it bounces twice and my menu bar changes to FINAL CUT PRO and HELP only… then just sits there and I have to force quit.  No splash screen ever shows up.  Here's what I get in Console:

    Last week I did reinstall FCStudio… no avail.  Basically same thing works whenever I start any of the Studio apps.
    **Random thought… Back when I noticed this didn't work a few weeks ago I was also having problems with Safari crashing and generating a crash log.  Update to Safari came out a few days later and everything was fine there.
    Thoughts?

    Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.

    2.  Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
    3. Trash FCP or all the apps  CORRECTLY  using this free app and reinstall it.

    WARNING !   Make sure you deselect the media files otherwise you will have to reinstall over 20GB of stuff !
    4. If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System    Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

  • In app purchase for the Simpsons tapped out didn't go through and now app won't open

    I bought donuts on the Simpsons tapped out app n it went to iTunes and I did in app purchase, and now my app won't open and it seems like my phone is trying to download it keeps asking me for my apple password when app shuts down, I tries to delete app and reload it, it doesn't help I also retuned phone to default setting still nothing, i can go on my other devices and load app but it doesn't show my purchase, did this happen to anyone else and did u find an answer to fixing this problem????? Please Help!!!!! 

    I had this same exact thing happen. The problem seemed to occur when I tried to do an in-app purchase and my iTunes Apple ID needed payment verification. Tapped Out triggered the iOS to open the verification part of the App Store. After verification iOS asked if I wanted to proceed with the purchase. I hit "ok". The App Store was trying to handle the in app purchase like it was a regular app purchase. When I went back into Tapped Out, I was met with an error message stating that the purchase has been made, and it was waiting for download. I also couldn't initiate any more in app purchases. When I quit and relaunched Tapped Out, it flashed the loading screen and then quickly crashed. Followed by a prompt for my Apple ID password.
    The disconnect here is somewhere in the coding from Tapped Out to the iOS. Tapped Out is asking for authorization on a in app purchase and the iOS is trying to initiate a regular app purchase.
    I have tried erasing and reinstalling Tapped Out. I have tried signing out of my iTunes account and launching Tapped Out. I have tried "Resetting All Settings" from the general setting panel in iOS, which usually fixes everything... Nothing is working though.
    I was able to download Tapped Out on a different iOS device (all running 7.0.4 btw) and was able to run it, sign in with my Tapped Out login and Apple ID. I was even able to initiate the in app purchase fully. So this tells me that the bug here is buried deep in the preference of iOS 7 on my original device, not the Tapped Out account or my iTunes Apple ID.
    The sure fire answer to solve this is to do a clean erase and restore of the device. I really don't want to do that though because it will get rid of my current camera roll and my text history. Plus I'll have to resync all my music and that takes a while. I'm hoping the bug just times out and the app refreshes itself... But I'm doubtful of that. I think we are the unintentional collateral damage from some sloppy coding on EA's part.  A clean erase and install might be the only answer. Hopefully it will rectify itself though...

  • My IPod apps won't open. So I looked it up, and it said to sync the apps to itunes, i tried this, but when i try to sync, the apps won't show up on Itunes. It keeps saying "0 apps". What do i do?

    Ever since yesterday, my Ipod apps won't open properly. I googled it, and couldn't find anything accurate. So i deleted all of the apps, and re-downloaded them. Now they're doing it again. When i tap on it, it looks like it wants to open, but then it goes back to the main menu. I googled it again, and got an answer saying to go to Itunes, uncheck the "sync apps" box, and sync. Then after that, recheck the box, and sync again. Many people said this worked, but it didn't for me. Also whenI go to sync my apps, they don't show up in Itunes. How do I get them to show up in Itunes?

    I had the same issue. After searching around online I found out that you can try downloading another app (it can be any app) onto your ipod. After it finishes downloading see if your other apps open. You don't even have to keep the new app. Just see if your other ones work and you can delete the new one. That should work. If not, try to hard reset it. Here is another apple support link for steps on hard reseting it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430). 

  • Adobe reader 6.0 app won't open because PowerPC apps are no longer supported

    I can no longer open .pdf files on my newer imac which is over 3 yrs. old,  This issue seemed to have started sometime after updating to icloud & Lion??  on this imac but for some reason, I do not have the same problem on my other imac that is running the same Lion v. 10.7.2 which is over 4 yrs. old.  I can see that the older imac is running Adobe Reader 9.4.6 and opens .pdf files.   
    Here is the error message I get on my newer imac:
    adobe reader 6.0 app won't open because PowerPC apps are no longer supported
    I don't remember if or when I started having this problem on the newer imac but it use to open .pdf files.  Nor can I find any reference to ANY Adobe Reader version other than 6.0 on this computer,  Even after several tries and downloading off the Adobe web site using Safari. 
    I have made several attempts to download off the adobe web site using safari which shows it is downloading the app. but cannot find it anywhere on my computer's HD or Desktop even when using Spotlight to search for it. 
    In fear of screwing up my new 17" MBP which arrived yesterday I have not attempted to transfer any info/files/data off of my other imacs due to they info dating back to the PowerPC days that transfered during switching to newer mac models.   
    Thanks for any help in this matter
    Bob

    I have tried several times to update the Intel Mac verision of adobe but cannot find where it was downloaded to on my computer.   When I do a search on my computer, the only version that is found is the old 6.0 Power PC which is no longer supported.

  • In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
    Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

  • My iPad apps won't open?

    My iPad apps won't open help?

    I have the same issues. My iPad 1 will not download apps or update apps.  They are constantly waiting.  I have tried logging out of iTunes, powering down iPad, then restarting and signing back into my apple account ( all through the iPad).  I found a post that mentioned updating the apps on your computer via iTunes, then uploading them onto the iPad.  However, I can't find the update apps button anywhere on iTunes to do that.  So that didn't work.  However, updating apps on my iPhone 4s and iTouch 1 still go just fine.  Im not sure when this started.  I do know that as soon as I downloaded the iOS 5.0.  It was like driving my iPad threw molasses.  The thing was and still is slow as ****.  Which is a whole other can or worms that apple needs to deal with. However, back on topic... My iPad no longer downloads apps, updates apps, and as of right now,will no longer download music that I have purchased through iTunes.  The music just sits the and says waiting to download.  NEED SOME HELP ON THIS!!!!!

  • My store app won't open

    I tried updating to 8.1 a couple months ago but since my computer wouldn't connect to the internet I decided to cancel the update. Ever since then my store app won't open, or any of the other apps for that matter. I tried clearing the windows store cache
    but a message just pops up saying that it can't find PurgeCaches. And when I ran the app troubleshooter it says that security setting have been changed but it resolved the issues, but I still have the same problem. There isn't an error message that pops up
    or anything, it just spins and goes back to the start menu.

    Hi,
    For this issue,how did you clear Windows store cache?
    If you want to clear Windows store cache,you should use WSReset.exe command.
    If the isseu still persists,please Re-register the Store App:
    Open CMD by running as administrator, and type following command to re-register the Store App:
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
    In addition, I would like to share the following article with you:

  • My mail app won't open.

    My mail app won't open. If I click on it it pulls up a blank screen and closes itself. It's an iPhone 5s running iOS 8 how do it fix it?

    Reinstall iOS 8. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings.

  • Some of my apps won't open? I have the iPhone 4s.

    Whenever I clicked an app, the screen would sortve blink but it wouldnt open. So I tried deleting an app and then I reinstalled it and the other apps still wouldn't open. So I tried the same thing with an app I actually wanted to use which was temple run, and it worked again. Only thing is, it deleted everything. All my data, all the things I bought on it. I definitely was not a happy camper. For future references, can anyone else suggest something I should do when my apps won't open? ... And anyone know how I can get back all of that stuff? Im really unhappy about deleting an app and all of its data and having to reinstall it everytime it doesn't open. Hope apple fixes this problem soon.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Should I downgrade from iOS 6.1.3 to 6.1.2? Because some apps won't open. It keeps on crashing.

    Tap tap, GarageBand, and other apps won't open. Is it about the firmware?

    You cannot downgrade the iOS since it is not supported. This support article explains how to trouble shoot 3rd party apps on the iPad.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    If all third party apps will not open, try downloading another app. Any free app will work or any already purchased app that is not currently on the iPad.
    If the troubleshooting article doesn help, I would try this. Close all apps and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • All my 3rd party apps won't open on my iPhone 4.

    Recently all my apps won't open on my iPhone. All the stock Apple apps work though. All the 3rd party apps don't work. What can I do? I tried resetting, and restoring. What else should i try?

    I'm also going through this problem and the only way to fix it (as far as I know) is go to App Store in your iPhone and download any random app (free app preferably), then make sure all your 3rd party apps work again and delete the random app you just downloaded.
