Help downloaded free apps wont stay open

I recieved an itouch 32g this morning. I downloaded a couple of apps and then tried to use them. They just show the title scrren and jump back to the main menu. I've tried resetting it, deleting and re-installing the apps, i've restored it a couple of times, and even made sure it was fully charged. They still will not load nor work. the apps that the itouch came with are working, just not the ones I downloaded. What should I do?

Hello everyone. I too experienced the same problem this morning and I fixed it by just simply restoring the touch and then when it asks what you want synced, I checked all boxes. So my fix wasn't all that hard. What I suggest is working your way up the line of possible solutions starting from the simple to the more complex. This link hopefully will provide at least some of you the solutions to fix your touches. Everyone's iPod reacts differently so just start trying.

APP wont stay open after upgrade to 120GB HDD, Help

Hello
I just upgraded my main HDD to a 120GB seagate drive, everything seems to be working fine until I open my flash and photoshop and other programs. flash will not stay open, as soon as it opens it quits right away. I re-installed the program and re-start the computer but it still does the same thing. Other program like photoshop and InDesign says it can not sync with the color pallet because the file is missing. I used color sync utility and repaired all profiles. but photoshop and indesign still says they can not sync color due to missing files.
Does anyone have exprience with this problem? All my other apple apps seems to be functioning normally.
Thank you for any suggestions and comments.
Michael Huang
PS: when I upgraded to the 120GB HDD, I installed osx tiger on the new drive and used migration assistant to transfer all the data from the old 30GB HDD.

Facebook app wont stay open during use

hey, i dont know whats going on with my facebook app on my iphone4s i have updated the app its self and its all up to date but everytime i go on it, it will stay open while im using it but during using it, it will close itself completely and whatever i was writing or looking at is gone when i re open it. It only does it to my iphone not my 5th gen of ipod.
i dont know whats going on but how can i stop it?
and does this happen to anyone else and if so how did you fix it?

Personally i have had this issue and it is with facebook alone. My app is up to date and my iOS is up to date. what i do to prevent this is make sure i have no other apps running in the background.
To check this double tap your home button and it will bring up the multitasking bar. Then hold your finger on an app until they start to shake and press the red "-" on all the apps.
This helps me out but if it doesnt work for you try a hard reset aswel:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will turn off and when the apple logo appears release both buttons
hope this helps

Ipod app wont stay open for more than 2 seconds...just loaded IOS 4

Hey so last night i downloaded the new IOS 4 for this thing and i was very happy with it, started making a playlist on the phone etc.
This morning I wake up and when i click the ipod app it opens up only to go back to the home screen within about 2 seconds. Just crashes. I tried using the double click feature just to play some kind of music. It starts to play, but within 2 seconds- crashes.
Please Help.

Hi
I've had similar issues.
Following a recent synch when on iOS4.0, the iPod would close after a few seconds.
I decided to do a restore and upgrate to 4.02 since I had other issues - slow response when typing and moving between screens or opening apps.
Since doing this, the iPod states there is no content, yet I have just loaded 10GB of music onto it.
I have carried out a number of restores using different PCs & Laptops, and set up the phone as a new one, but atill have the same issue. I have the latest iTunes and have done endless reboots etc.
I have always had issues when upgrading the iOS with this phone, and find that resoring on my XP laptop works, yet I always get errors when restoring on vista 32/64 OS.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Regards
Grant

Mail app wont stay open

I have an iphone 5s. Everytime I open my mail app it open then closes immediatley. Any suggestions?

Try a reset, which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

Apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill ? If it's not then that might be the reason that you are getting the security code error : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

Ipod wont stay opened after 4.0 software download

After I downloaded the 4.0 software my iPod stopped working. The app will stay open for a few seconds and then shut down. It does it every time. The new update didn't help a thing. Anyone else having this problem? Anybody know what to do?

You still have not answered: Have you tried a reset? You should try this before a restore.
". If I backup my phone and then restore will I be able to install the backup?"
Yes, but if the problem persists then you would need to restore as new.
"and if so will all my apps still be there?"
They should be in itunes on your computer, so you would just re-sync them if need be.

My iphone wont let me download free apps!!!

okay so i used a visa gift card i had gotten as a payment method to use to download music on itunes and then finally it ran out of money. then later when i tried to download an app it said "sign in required" so i signed in then it said my payment method isnt working but i have no other meathod and i cant cancel the one i have so i tried again and it keeps saying the same thing.. it wont let me download anything.. what do i do?

You probably have a past due balance in the iTunes store. If so, you'll have to enter a new payment type, or use an iTunes gift card to resolve the outstanding balance before you can proceed to download free apps, or install app updates.

How can I open an Apple App account for downloading free apps? I will not let me open a new account without a sim card.

I just bought a used 1st Generation Apple iPad 64 GB, 3G. How can I open an Apple App account? I am trying to download a free app and it says I have to have an account, however, everytime I try to set up a new account I can fill only fill out some of the information but then the screen goes black and I cannot proceed with the account. At one point it said "no sim card" and I am not sure where one would go if I had one. Do you need a sim card to download free apps? Why won't it let me set up an Apple Account? Any suggestions?

I can think of no reason at all why you need a sim card to creat an Apple ID. Try this first - reboot the iPad and reset the memory.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Afte the iPad starts up again, follow the directions in this support article - exactly - to creat the account without a credit card.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
IF ... You are signed into another Apple ID on the iPad you will have to sign out of that ID in order to create a new one. Settings>Store - you can sign out there.
You MUST try to download a free app in order to start the process off correctly. If you were using an email address with another ID that you already created, you will have to have another email address to associate the new ID with.

Hey guys maybe you can help me. After updating to ios 6 on my iPad 2 everything was fine. I was downloading free apps. Now if I try it says I need to enter credit card details which I have never needed to do in the past. Is there any way to get around this? Please help. Cheers.

Well, you might share what you did to fix it since you came here looking for help and if some body sees your "issue" has been fixed and clicks on your discussion "I fixed it" will not help the next user.
