Can't get apps to work after ios5 update

After doing the update for ios5, i noticed i can't open apps i have installed on my ipad2.  the apps are still there but when i click on facebook app for example the fb icon shows it being clicked on but nothing comes up.  this is the same for all other apps i have installed before the update.  safari works just fine but not the apps.  any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it?

Users have reported this problem after previous major updates (IOS4).
Q: Did the update complete successfully? You would have been asked to set Location, iCloud, etc.
is it ALL apps, or just 3rd party apps? Safari is working.
Try a resync with iTunes.
Try reinstalling one 3rd party app. In the past, just reinstalling one seemed to fire up the others for users who had this problem.

  • Ipod touch 4g- no music, and apps not working after iOS5 update

    Hi, I just updated to IOS 5 on my Ipod touch 4G, and ever since then the music library (in the Ipod) is cleared out, and none of the apps work. It's like it didn't finish updating and transferring back the data to the Ipod. When I go to plug in the Ipod to my macbook, and bring up Itunes, the Itunes program freezes every single time, not allowing me to fix the problem. My Ipod will show up in the side bar of Itunes, with the circular arrows going for a little bit, then the arrows stop in the middle of the process... I go to click on anything in Itunes and immediately get the spinny flywheel on my screen, meaning itunes freezes, and I have to force quit the program everytime. I've tried rebooting my computer a few times, as well as restarting my Ipod, but nothing is working. The internet works on my Ipod, but anything music/app related is 'empty.'  I couldn't find anyone else on the net w the same problem, so I might have something unique~

    I would try restoring the iPod from backup.  If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

  • Can't get iphoto to work after tampering with library in Finder

    I think I made a big mistake when I tampered with the iphoto library in Pictures in Finder.
    Now I can't get iphoto to work. All the pictures are gone in iphoto, the spaces are there but they are blank.
    When I open iphoto it goes into the mode (little spinning wheel appears) where I have to "force quit".
    Any supggestions on what I can do? Thanks.

    The list that shows is just data files and such.
    You can burn the entire iPhoto Library folder.
    You can burn each Year folder or any other variation.
    This is my workflow. The reason I do it the way I describe is because I want a backup of just the photos and video clips I take so I can copy them to a partition of my external drive and burn them to disc. On the other partition I backup my entire users folder
    When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
    My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
    This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
    The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
    Here is info on backing up your photos:
    Backing up your iPhoto Library
    1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
    This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
    insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
    The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
    Double click the folder to open it.
    Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
    You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
    Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
    If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
    You can also check out applications for disc spanning:
    Disc-spanning software
    DropDMG
    Toast
    Dragon Burn 4
    BackityMac
    Retrospect Express-comes with some external drives
    Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition
    2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
    3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
    4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
    This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
    If you just want to backup the images in your library:
    1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
    Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
    1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
    2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
    You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.

  • Apps are missing after ios5 update

    after ios5 update on ipad2 all my apps are missing, how do i get them back?

    Disconnected from what? the computer? Did you connect to the computer again, launch iTunes and then do as I described above?
    You have selected all of the apps to sync - put checkmarks in all of the boxes next to the app names and have the Sync Apps heading checked as well?
    Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>On?
    Are you signed into the correct iTunes account on the iPad and the computer?

  • Ipad apps wont work after downloading update 5.1.1

    My I pad apps wont work after I downloaded OS update 5.1.1
    I have tried restoring, but it doesn't solve the problem.

    Hi
    I had the same problem since I updated, the iPad shows "No Sim" I have taken it out, put it back in after cleaning it! All the usual possible solutions that everyone else has tried? So I have not been able to connect for over a week now and I intended to pop into the Apple geek guys to let them have a look, but was scared that they might suggest it would have to be sent away!!! What would I do?. So last night I was fiddling around with the IPad and thought I would try something, AND GUESS WHAT! It works!!!!
    This is what I had done
    1. Take the SIM out of the IPad
    2. Leaving the SIM out, turn the Ipad off using the Home and power button at the same time, do this 4 times
    3. Now insert the SIM back in it then found my SIM
    I cannot confirm the is the ultimate cure, but it worked for me and I have tried all the other possible solutions, it's worth a try?

  • Can't get speakers to work after using ear buds what happened?

    I used ear buds once and now I can't get my internal speakers to work. In "system preferences" sound output I can't select internal speakers. it just has "digital out"

    No, but I thought I saw it at an earlier time and of course with the headphones connected I can hear audio. By the way, thanks for replying.

  • Can't get yosemite to working after waking from sleep mode

    I just installed Yosemite to my Mac Mini.  When the computer goers to sleep for more then 30 seconds I can wake the computer but then after i see the desktop I can't do anything on the computer every click i make does not respond and I have to force the computer to shut down and I have to reboot every time my computer goes to sleep.

    I have the exact same issue for the first time after installing Yosemite.  On resume from sleep, I can see the desktop, and can move the cursor with the mouse, but clicking on icons, etc. does nothing, and the keyboard does nothing. A cold boot works fine. This is a Mac Mini bought in the Summer of 2014. I run no unusual software. I have eliminated all log in items in Preferences/Accounts, reset the NPRAM, have no peripherals (other than standard Apple mini mouse and wireless keyboard), and have shutdown and unplugged to reset.  It makes no difference whether a password is required or not - once it goes to sleep, this is the result, and only a forced shut-down by holding the power button and a cold boot give me control back.  This problem does not appear if it merely goes into screensaver mode - which I invoke with a hot corner.

  • Can't get tab to work after a click box

    I have no problem getting the tab to work after a text entry but when I insert a click box and tab the tab feature isn't working.  I do have tab set as short cut in Actions on properties of click box.

    Captivate 7 allows you to configure the tab order for all interactive objects on a slide.

  • Music app crashes constantly after iOS5 update and won't restart.

    I have an iPhone 4 that I updated to iOS5 last week. The first time I tried the new Music App, it ran very sluggishly. I then connected it to my JVC car stereo via the dock connector (Made for iPod), and the Music App crashed. After crashing, it just shows a blank white screen when you try to start the app, then crashes again after about ten seconds.
    I can delete all the music from the iPhone via iTunes, and then re-add it, which seems to work for getting the Music App working again. But as soon as I try to connect it to the dock connector on my car stereo, it crashes again as previously described. Grrr.

    No answers, only wanted to commiserate—I had a similar problem, and now my iPhone 5 running iOS 5 is showing the blank white screen for the Music app every time. No music showing anywhere, even when NOT connected to the dock in my car. I was wondering if the bug was related to the number of songs/size of files (since I have a crapload of music). This has to be happening to others...
