Hi Lil cupcake,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If an application you purchased from the App Store is quitting unexpectedly, start with the troubleshooting steps in this article:

All my purchased apps won't open, what's the problem and what should I do?

All my purchased apps won't open even if I tried turning off and turning back my iPhone on (3 times). Need help, please.... Thanks!

Are you, or have you ever been jail broken? If you were, and installed apps from installous, they wont work without app sync installed. You need to be jail broken to install that, and I see you're on 4.3.2, for which there is no jailbreak yet. If you werent jail broken, however, follow the above posters advice and restore in iTunes.

HT1725 My newly downloaded numbers app won't open on my iPad?

My newly downloaded numbers app won't open on my iPad?

You could try deleting and then re-downloading the app via the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if it then works (re-downloading).
And/or 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.

My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

Try:
Reset the iOS device (no data will be lost). Press and hold the Home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. See if the problem persists after the device reboots (it might take a while).
Download any free app, and then see if any of the other apps, after being re-downloaded, will open.
Good luck!

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...

HT204407 App won't open... Installed it, added friends, used it a few times and now it opens for a brief moment with no options to touch and then closes

App won't open completely. I touch it, it opens, no options to touch. Then it closes

Try quitting it completely by double tapping the homebutton twice and closing the app at the bottom of the screen. If this doesn't help:
Try deleting the problematic app and then re-downloading the app from the app store.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option which is revealed by tapping the updates option at the bottom of the screen of the App store app on your iOS device.

Apps won't open

Someone has gone wrong with my Z10 and now any "android related" apps that i download, i.e. songza, kobo, etc. won't open. When I click on them they simply exit. I have tried EVERYTHING and am getting very frustrated. I have the OS 10.1.04651. Please help!

Blackberry simply doesn't care. They don't provide any info on how to solve this problem. I'm trying to solve this problem too. All apps won't open even when i restart the phone. Next time i won't recommend purchasing blackberry and just say to buy an iphone, at least it has far more support for any kind of problem.

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!!!!!

Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store

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.

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.

If it is the third party apps that you are having problems with - try downloading another app - any free app will work. See if the apps will open after you try that. Or look here for help.
