Apps won't open since iOS update-why?

First time I tried to open apps since the update, and the screen just kind of flashes for a second and nothing happens. Has this happened to anyone? I can open all the apps that showed up with the update, but none of the others.

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, 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 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.

  • Who can fix my Ipad 3 because it won't charge since IOS update?

    Ipad 3 won't charge since IOS update, who can fix this expensive item?
    Thank you

    Try a different electrical out.
    Make sure you are using the same power adapter and cable that came with the iPad.
    And try charging via USB to a computer.
    If nothing above helped, reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, restore the device > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    If nothing above helps, take your iPad to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider > Apple - Find Locations

  • IPhoto won't open since last update V9.5.1

    My iPhoto won't open since the latest update (V9.5.1) was installed.  I do not get any error message, the icon bounces a couple times and then nothing happens.  I've tried the following solutions found in other forums:
    -Using "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild library and repair iPhoto, did not work because "iPhoto failed to open"
    -Removing the file iPhotoLock.data from Finder>Pictures>Right Click iPhoto Library>Show Package Contents, this also did nothing.
    I can't find any other solution and I'm worried that I may lose my pictures (over 20GB of pics).
    Is someone else having similar issues?

    You don't always have a good current backup?  Without one you are 100% guarenteed to lose everything including your photos sooner or later - things do fail - Time Machine is included on yur Mac - use it - you eed a large external hard drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - once set up it is automatic and will save you when things go South
    For now all you need is a copy of the iPhoto library
    I stated in my original message that I have the most current version of iPhoto, iPhoto '11 V9.5.1.  Is there a way to reverse the update because I had no problems with it until the update was done automatically.
    Yes - but since things are not wroking ti is important to verify facts - not work on assumptions
    No - you can not "undo the update" easily but you can fix things

  • Apps won't load since I updated my iPad 4 to iOS 7

    Just (reluctantly) updated my iPad 4 to iOS 7.  Several apps are staying in the 'waiting' position.  Have lost many and some won't load.  My Words with Friends game is 'waiting' to load, yet, the App Store says it's loaded.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thank you. 
    Also, can I revert back to what I had before?

    Fully close the App Store App.  Double tap your home button which will bring the most recently used apps.  You'll see the app icon below and a screen shot of the open app page above.  With your finger, swipe the open app page upward and the app will close.  It's a good idea to regularly close apps when yout using them.
    Tap your home button once to bring back your home screen.
    App store should operate normally again when you open it.

  • Pages won't open since downloading updates

    Today I downloaded updates to Pages and iOS to my iPad Mini. Pages then stopped working. It looks like it will open, I can see the screen with the documents for half a second, then it disappears. It is there in the background if double click the home button, but disappears when I try to touch the screen. I have done a restart by holding home and on buttons. I am thinking of deleting the app and trying to reinstall but I know I will lose my documents. I have seen a few similar complaints including in the reviews for the app. It would be good if Apple issued a fix. Anyone else found a fix? Thanks.
    Pages 2.5.1
    ios 8.1.2 maybe - not sure as it doesn't say clearly which is the operating system, it just says 'version'

    Oy, Sorry to hear that. We actually received another update with a new version of the app and that reverted to the older version . There must have been a glitch.  Good luck

  • Photo window won't open since Leopard update

    After I installed the Leopard update June 2 from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3, the next time I clicked on IPhoto, its name showed in the Finder window but the window with my nearly 18,000 photos did not show up. I tried the "Go - Volumes/" suggestion in a previous reply but it didn't work.
    I tried importing new photos by inserting the media card which usually opened Iphoto where I could click "import" but although the icon for the card reader shows up on the desktop, Iphoto's window does not.
    When I click on the card reader icon where only the most recent UNimported photos exist, a list of Canon folders show. I don't have anything Canon.
    Those most recent images show in Cover Flow: the path is Device, DCIM folder, 197Canon folder, image.
    Has anyone else had trouble with the Leopard update and Iphoto?
    What should I try?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Apps still say waiting since iOS update ?

    My Instagram and 3 other apps are just saying waiting ... And I've tried to delete , restart and reset phone but they are still saying the same thing ..

  • Mail won't open since upgrade/updates

    I installed Leopard today. Was having problems with Mail crashing before it even started up, so I updated to 10.5.1. Now, when I try to open Mail, I get the message "You cannot use the application "Mail" with this version of Mac OS X." Whassup? I thought Mail 3.1 was part of 10.5.1?! I've tried moving the Library/Mail/Envelope Index doc to the desktop and also tried moving Library/Mail/LSMMap2 to the desktop and restarting Mail. Even tried moving both docs to the desktop. Still not working! Any suggestions?

    Can you run mail from a different account? just create an account and see if it works.
    Also, what kind of e-mail account do you have? do you keep copies of your messages on the mail server? If so you might just want to trash the entire /Users/user/Library/Mail folder (or at least move it to the desktop) and recreate your mail account. This is a bit painful because you'll have to redownload all your messages but it should cure all your ills. If even this doesn't help, trash the file com.apple.Mail.plist which sits in Users/user/Library/Preferences.
    Nuking this file will completely reset Mail for your user account.

  • App Store update number won't dissapear since iOS 8 update

    App Store update number won't dissapear since iOS 8 update.  After updating all apps on my iPhone this red circled indicating number would always disappear, now it remains..... Why the change? I'd rather this number disappear like it always has I don't need to know that 2 Aps have updated, only that there are updates available. After updating this indicating number disappears.

    In your device Settings > iTunes & App Store, under Automatic Downloads, set Updates to On.
    Your App Store app will now reflect the up-to-date status of your apps updates.

  • HT1918 After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone & ipad?!?

    After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone & ipad?!?

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the reply.  I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app.  Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
    I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
    Would you think that's the case too?
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How come my apps won't open after updating to ios5

    how come my apps won't open after updating to ios5?

    Thanks for the feedback.  This is a custom enterprise application.   So there is not an update yet.   It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable.  So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.
