I just bought an I phone and was playing Scrabble when an advertisement popped up and I tried to go back to the game and now I can't use any of my apps because whenever I touch one they shake and have an X on them.  What did I do?

Relax. Nothing is wrong.
You accidentally tapped-and-held a little too long and you entered what many people call "jiggly mode" - i.e. app reorganization and deletion mode. When in this mode, you can move apps around on your various home screens, create and organize app folders, and delete apps (by tapping the X).
Exit this mode by tapping your Home Button one time.

  • HT4623 I did the update, but now I can't open any of my apps. What am I suppose to do?

    I did the update, but now I can't open any of my apps. What am I suppose to do?

    If it's the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store that aren't working, whilst the built-in apps are ok, 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.

  • Why can't i see my movies in "Previous Purchases"  I bought the movie 6 months ago and just recently watched it- i had to restore my ipod and my computer becasue the both broke. now i can't see any movies, only apps, songs, books, and tv shows.

    OK i will explain my whol situation.
    My computers hard drive broke, so i had to get a new one.
    My itunes from the hard drive is gone now.
    MY ipod was disable to the point where you must plug it into the same itunes on the same computer it was last synced on.
    i had to restore my ipod.
    i re downloaded itunes.
    i got into my account.
    i re downloaded all songs, apps, books, tv shows, and pod casts.
    IT WON"T SHOW ME MY MOVIES.
    i looked in my purchase history so i know i bought it.
    i went back to "Previous Purchases"
    it still doesn't give me a category for movies.
    i really need to get that movie back because it was 9.99 and i refuse to let my money go to waste!
    Please Help!

    Films can currently only be downloaded once from the store, which I think is a requirement from the film distributors, so they won't show in the Purchased section for re-downloading. Have you not got a backup of it on, for example, an external drive or CD/DVD ?

  • The iOS 5.0.1 won't download for my ipod and now i can't open any of my apps. HELLPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm trying to download the new iOS 5.0.1 for my ipod touch and it keeps telling me that i need to check my internet settings even though my internet is fine. And now I can't use any of my apps they just flicker and go back to the home screen..

    - For the download, disable the computer's security software during the download and update.
    - For the other problem:
    --- Reset the iPod.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    --- Download/install a new app.

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

    will check with them regarding the international aspect.
    Please bear with me here, I'm a newbie and I dont know much. The store showed pricing in rupees. so I'm not sure I understand what u mean when you say they may be trying to charge in dollars.
    No problem Anu-ji
    The prices in the US store are in dollars - as you are paying INR - there is a conversion taking place somewhere and it is somewhat logical to believe that it is on the end of the bank card since Apple is not in the currency business (tho they know how to generate a lot of it!)
    Let us know what your bank says - may be we can offer some other suggestions
    Thanks

  • HT1848 I synced my on my iPad 2 to my pc yesterday and now I can not open any of my apps on my iPad2, those purchased and those that are free.  All it does if I click on the app is flicker but does not open.  can anyone help?

    I was told I could sync my music on my pc with my ipad2 by an apple agent.  I hooked my ipad2 up to my pc and did so, but now I can not open any of my apps on my ipad2.  when I try it just flickers and does not open.  Can anyone help?

    On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
    Follow these steps to force an app to close:
    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice. 
    Tap and hold on the app. 
    When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on by one until all cleared
    Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
    Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again and see if this resolves the issue.

  • My iphone 4 is telling me I have to restore but when I plug in and connect to itunes, it freezes about 30-50 % through the process. Now I can't use my phone at all? I am waiting about 1-3 hours for this process to finish and nothing ever happens. HELP!!

    Put it into DFU mode - hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the screen goes black (ignoring the slide to turn off slider). When the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button. Continue holding the home button for 10 seconds, then release it. The screen should stay black. Plug it into iTunes and it should come up with this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. It must be restored before use", that's when it is successfully in DFU mode. Now press the restore button in iTunes and it should run smoothly :)

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

  • I just updated my 3GS and now I can't access any of my apps????

    I updated the software for my 3GS to the 4.3.3 (I think) and now I can't use any app. Help!!!

    If you mean that the 3rd party apps open but close immediately, download another free app from the App Store.
    If you mean something else, please be specific.

    Hi kjpservices,
    So it sounds as if your iPhone does not appear in iTune after a failed update to iOS, is that right? In order to get it back into iTunes you will want to use one of these articles, depending on what kind of computer you have -
    For a Windows PC, use this -
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you are using a Mac, use this -
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    Once you get ths iPhone back into iTunes, try the update again. If it fails, post back and we can continue troubleshooting from there.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen. is messed up. I click on an app and 30 secs. later it kicks me back to the home screen. I can't use it unless I only want to listen to music.

    my ipod kicks back to home screen after 30 secs. I can't use any apps.

    - Try reetting the iPOd.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try downnloading/installing a new app.

  • I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I can't use any of my software!

    What a disaster and huge mistake.  Upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I can't run Autocad 2012 for Mac, any of my Adobe Creative suites software such as Photoshop, Illustrator.. and now I can't even do upgrades because Mountain Lion doesn't allow me to launch DMGs.  I've lost thousands of $'s in software, not to mention time, but most importantly now I can't even work!  I just tried to revert back to Snow Leopard by intalling it back in my hard drive and it won't let me.  I never used Time Machine.  Is there any way on earth I can revert back to my old operating software???  Please help.  And if you haven't upgraded yet and are thinking about it.  BEWARE - and don't do it.  I've been reading that Mountain Lion isn't working with Microsoft applications either.  Omy...I haven't even checked that. 
    and of course no one at Apple support can or will help me

    It's not my Microsoft that I use much or am worried about.  I can't run AutoCAD.  and I can't update AutoCAD either.  When I try to mount an update just to get it working, it says it can't run the DMG file.  Apparantly this new platform doesn't use Rosetta - which is needed to run any of these updates or downloads.  ***?  and then When I try to open CS4 appliations - Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign - I get the message "Licensing for this product has stopped working - Error 150:30 - ***? 
    So basically I can't use ANY of the programs I ran before.  And yes I have googled desperately all day.  Adobe has some suggestions - like deleting a Flex files - which I did...Defragmenting - which I did.  And most importantly provides am Adobe Licensing Repair tool to fix - which I can't open because Mountain Lion won't mount the DMG in order to run it!  It's a complete disaster and I don't have the money or time to purchase and or reinstall everything.  I am just screwed. 
    No you are not, calm down, cbs20 already gave you the answer on opening dmg files, updates are available for most of your programs and I assume you have licenses for the Adobe products. AutoCad you'll have to wait for.
    And please .... Start Backing Things Up, you could lose it all without one, work included.
