I phone apps don't work

On the iphone 3G, when I go to open an app, it flashes on screen for about two seconds and then returns to the home menu. This only happens on apps I have downloaded. If I go to open iTunes, stock market, ipod, w.t.c it works fine. I have tried restarting it several times, bbut still get the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Every 3rd party app does this?
Have you checked if any of the 3rd party apps have an update that you haven't installed?
If you are running the current version for each 3rd party app, try doing an iPhone reset, which 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 - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. This does not affect any data or settings.
If no change after an iPhone reset, try deleting and re-installing the apps. You can do this with iTunes - assuming all 3rd party apps are available in your iTunes library, and they should be.
Choose selected applications under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Uncheck the apps in the window below that you want to delete followed by a sync. Recheck the apps followed by a sync to re-install.

Hey there jackofromgriffith,
I understand that you have an iPhone from your friend that is still associated with their iCloud account. You will need to disassociate the iPhone from your friend’s iCloud account in order to resolve your issues:

HT4623 I recently updated my 64 gig 4S to OS7, my apps don't work any more, the apps store won't work, I've tried deleting apps and reinstalling, no good. The phone is just a phone now

since updating my apps don't work anymore, the app store won't connect, I tried deleting apps and reinstalling, no go. The phone is just a phone now.

Try accessing the Store through the Music App first then use the other app.
You've already tried a Reset, Restore from Backup, Restore as New?

My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC

My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC through Itunes....though all the apps are shown in the Apps window in Itunes (The Apps match the iTunes account on the iPhone).....
Disconnecting after the sync and After downloading any app from Appstore through Wi-Fi all my apps start working.....
Please Help.....

What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.

After software update (Sept. '09) apps don't work and some missing

Plugged my phone in and itunes said there was an update I needed to install. Did that then it said there was a problem with the phone and it needed to be formatted before itunes could read it, did that too. Then while it was syncing up again after formatting it kept telling me there was a problem and items could not be found. All downloaded apps, some are missing completely from the phone, are no longer working. HELP!

This "i do not see an update when i connect to itunes!!!!" suggested otherwise.
the post says "after software update (sept. '09) apps don't work and some missing"
there has been no update in sept 09!!!!
Perhaps the OP doesn't connect the iPhone to the computer very often.

Please help Apps don't work anymore

I had set up my iphone and purchased apps on a Windows PC. All worked as it should. Changed jobs and hooked up iphone to a MAC G5. I was able to click on the iPhone icon in iTunes and do what appeared to be a copy of my apps from the iPhone to itunes using the Options key*. The icons still show up on my phone but don't work. What happens is they start to boot up and then the screen goes back to the home page. This is only an issue with downloaded apps (both free and purchased) not with the orginal apps that came on the iphone.
Please let me know if you thoughts on how to correct. Thank you,
* I think this is the key I used. I could be wrong as I am not at the Mac right now.

Since this is a new computer it may not be authorized for your account
Authorize your computer then sync to the iPhone.

My World blue blank screen,apps don't work

I wrongly updated OS6 in my Bold 9700, phone didn't work well when I realised I downgraded software to latest version OS5. Since then, when I try to access info in Myworld about an App the screen goes blank, I can pres the menu key and it gives the option to download but then I see nothing. I have no problems with some apps,but facebook just doesn't work at all. I download it but it doesn't give me the option to 'run'. In the application list it appears,so it is in the phone but there is no icon. Other apps (such as bank apps) don't work either,they show 'error 'net.rim.device.api.ui.container.GridFieldManager not found'.
I have done a security wipe, deleted and reinstalled all apps including Blackberry World. I have reinstalled software about 4 times,battery pulls...you name it.
I have data allowance with O2, but the phone is an unlocked AT&T Bold 9700 brought from the States.
Any tips on what else can I do?The phone used to reset itself when I accessed My World,it seems it stopped doing that now, but still can't see anything when I want to see an App info. Thanks!!
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
A few things to try, in order of "less destructive" to more-so:
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
I suggest that you clear the AppWorld application cache:
1. Open App World
2. Go to My World
3. Follow one (and only one!) of these steps:
3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
3b. For Touch Screen Only BBs -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
3c. For newer (e,g., OS6 and 7) BB's, see this KB:
KB24714 How to clear the BlackBerry App World cache
4. AppWorld should close.
5. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
6. Return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it may be sluggish while it re-synchronizes).
If step (4) does not happen as listed, then the clear cache did not work.

Given that, it's possible that the OS loading did not go well (for one reason or another). Consequently, you might want to do it again.
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

I used CCC to clone 10.6.8 then onto new drive. Everything works BUT all Mac apps.
Error: You can't open the app(s) because it is not supported on this type of Mac. (On MacBook 2011)
Thanks for your help.

All good. Just drag and dropped each application and they worked until I did a restart. Then repaired permissions and everything works.

After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected

After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected.
Windows of Swing apps don't display all GUI elements.
After replacing System/Library/Java from a Time MAchine Backup, everything works normal again.
Is this update corrupted?

"avoid using Java in a web browser at all,..."
Good advice.
"...old Java apps/applets that aren't written to modern specs ..."
The stand-alone Java Swing applications, that don't display their GUI elements after installing this update, have been written according to modern standards. With Oracle Java7, and with Java6 from Apple prior to this update, they run absolutely flawlessly.
This is absolutely Apple's fault.

What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

Make sure your apps are updated. You might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads - Updates = "On".
You cannot go back to an old operating system.

After update iOS 8 some of the apps don't work please help me

After update iOS 8 some of the apps don't work please help me As fast as you can

There can be some of that. Unfortunately, it's up to the app developers to make their app work with the iOS.
So checking for updates can help. You can also look at the reviews for the app, see if others have the same issue. If 8 has broken the app, all you can do is wait.
In some cases, a reset can help. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again. (this can work if the app is fine with iOS8 but is just glitching...it's a harmless reboot of the system)
Another thing to try is to force quit the app(s) and force them to reboot. Double tap the home button. Flick the preview for the app up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button to exit the mode. Try your app again. If it's just a glitch then this sometimes clears it up.
I know once I updated my devices I then had several updates pushed out - updates that required iOS8 so weren't available before the update.
