If apps won't run

If I can't open any downloaded apps, is the best solution to restore the original settings or is there another solution?

I just want to thank Chibihobo for the brilliant suggestion to try downloading an app again.  I was completely f'd up and couldn't get to any 3rd party apps, including esp. Pages, which really was the only reason I hadn't restored and reset my iPad.  But I kept looking for solutions and this came up from the "More like this" column on these redesigned discussion boadds.  So I deleted Numbers, which didn't have much data I cared about and lo and behold ALL APPS NOW WORK! 
Thanks!

  • HT201210 Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3?  iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.

    If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

  • My Silverlight app won't run in debug on 3.6.6 or 4 beta. I managed to find 3.5 and my app works. No clue why.

    My Silverlight 4 app won't run in debug on 3.6.6 or 4 beta. I managed to find 3.5 and my app works. No clue why. Sorry, my app is not on the web. I could zip up the whole project and send it to you if you're interested. It doesn't do much so far. Just started.

    Hi Tobbi,
    SL version 4. Reinstalled many times. Running Windows 7.
    Not sure exactly what version I was running prior to 3.6.6.
    Tried version 4 beta - didn't work. Found 3.5 and it works.
    When I run, I get the white screen with the dots going around in a circle forever (Silverlight loading thing). I could send you a screen shot, but I really don't want to go back to 3.6.6.
    I set a break point at the earliest possible place in my code and it never gets there.
    Thanks

  • HT4314 how do I turn off a game after playing so the app won't run down my battery?

    How do I turn off a game after playing it so the app won't run down the battery. This has happened 2x and I have had to reset my phone.

    To completely close an app (though a lot of apps don't remain active when you switch into a different app or go to the homescreen) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the app that you want to close 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • Automator app won't run from double-click

    automator app won't run from double-click in finder or from alert from ical. Will only run if I open in automator editor.
    I found a solution on my own. I opened activity monitor and all the automator apps that I run daily were hanging up and the auromator launch was hanging up. I force quit them from the activity monitor. Now it works again.

    I might have gotten there eventually on my own, but I suspect finding your post saved me a lot of work. Thanks for posting your solution.

  • I have a 4g touch. I updated ibook in itunes and now, every time I sync, I get the message that the app won't run in os6. Is there any way I can revert the app in itunes so I have the latest version that will work with OS6?

    I recently updated ibook in my Itunes.  Now, every time I sync, I get the message that it won't update the ipod as ibook won't run in OS6. Is there any way I can revert the ibook app in itunes so it quits trying to install the current ibook app. I am trying to stop getting the warning message. I am also concerned if I ever have to reinstall the app.

    Delete the app from the iTunes library on your computer and then transfer the version from iPod to computer by:

  • New Twitter app won't run?

    After owning an iPhone since gen1 - I know how to do most anything on one...but the new Twitter app just won't start?
    Got the update message in the iStore on the phone, d/l and then installed like always - there was no interupption to the
    install either...
    Now the app appears normal on the screen - I touch it to start - it darkens....for like 3 secs...then pops back to it's normal
    bright color...and never ever starts.
    Have uninstalled it, turned off iPhone, reinstalled it - same...
    Have updated the iPhone OS too....done the same uninstalll, reinstall - same..
    Have gone to Twitter in Safari, hav accepted the topbar where it says that I can install their mobile app....installed it again perfectly - same....
    The Twitter mobile app will not run no matter what I do...
    help here someone?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • App won't run on MacBook Air

    Hi, I am trying to run an App on my Itunes (MacBook Air, latest model) but although the App has downloaded, i can't get it to run. It is a childrens' App which, when running, allows me to download the individual videos/songs (Gigglebellies). As my Ipad won't connect to the wifi for some unknown reason, I want to download them into my computer and then sync them.
    Any ideas on how to get the App to run on my Macbook Air?
    Thank you

    You can't run iPad/iPhone apps on any Mac - it's a completely different operating system and you have to use applications designed for it. There is no equivalent app in the App Store which is available in your Applications folder, which is one way of obtaining Mac applications.

  • EJB 3.0 App won't run on OAS 10.1.3.1 AIX5L

    Hi All,
    I'm developing Application with Struts + JSP + EJB3.0 with JDev 10.1.3. It runs well on embedded OC4J with JDev. And it runs well also on Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 + Windows XP Prof. But when I deployed it on Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 + IBM AIX 5L which is my production environment, the application won't run.
    I try to narrowing down the problem, so I create a simple EJB3.0 Application. It consist of 1 Entity from Table (JPA/EJB3.0) and the entity has queryFindAll() method. One simple Facade Session Bean EJB invoke it. 1 JSP file call a class that do the context lookup to SessionBean EJB.
    This simple application runs well on both platform, i.e Windows XP Prof and IBM AIX 5L.
    But when I try to create an application that has complex relationship, i.e has relation many-to-many and one-to-many, the application wont run on OAS 10.1.3.1 on IBM AIX5L. Instead, it runs well on OAS 10.1.3.1 on Windows XP Prof.
    this is the error messages in log.xml from OAS 10.1.3.1 on IBM AIX5L:
    [SessionEJB:public java.util.List tintin.model.SessionEJBBean.queryBiOfficesFindAll()] exception occurred during method invocation: oracle.oc4j.rmi.OracleRemoteException:

    This loader has been closed and should not be in use.
    What could be the root cause of these errors? I've tried to compared all components that are installed on WinXP box and AIX5L. I can't find any clue of it.
    Could someone please help me? Thanks...

    I found Error Code for TOPLINK here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/doc/10131/main/_html/errcode007.htm
    but it is strange, that my error exception is TOPLINK-7158:
    7158: ERROR_PROCESSING_NAMED_QUERY_ANNOTATION
    Cause: Error encountered when building the @NamedQuery annotation from entity class ClassName.
    Action: Ensure the correctness of the annotation specification.
    how come that error only occured in OAS 10.1.3.1 on AIX 5L, but it didn't occur in OAS 10.1.3.1 on Windows XP Pro?
    Is it really the root cause or OAS throws wrong exception code? Could someone from Oracle help me please?

  • HP Desk 2540 - app won't run on Microsoft Surface

    Dowloaded 70MB worth of set up wizard for the HP Deskjet 2540 all in one and got message that my" pc cannot run this app and for other apps that can run on this pc please visit HP.COm app store".  However, there are no other apps for this printer....
    Does this mean that I will not be able to use the printer that I bought especially for my Surface Pro?
    Looking forward to hearing from you.
    Jane

    Hello @JaneyP1, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having an issue configuring your Deskjet 2540 with your Surface pro.
    I would like to help.
    If you have the Surface Pro, I recommend installing the full feature software.
    This will be exactly like installing a printer onto a regular windows 8.1 desktop. 
    HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer - Software & Drivers
    You can also use the basic driver if you are concerned about space.
    It will only install the print and scan software.

  • I've downloaded Itunes, but my computer says that the app won't run on my PC. What do I do?

    I just recently got a new laptop with Windows 8. However after I downloaded Itunes I clicked on the program and I get a message that says that the app can not run on this PC. I've tried running the  troubleshoot compadibility multiple times and it still does not work. I've tried downloading the newest version and the one before that, and neither are working. What do I do?

    I get an error message saying that this app can't run on my pc and that I need to find a version that will work through my administrator.
    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • IPad 2 email app won't run

    Just recently upgraded to 7.0.4 and now my email app will not run.  When I run the app, the email window briefly pops up for about a second and then closes.  I've tried killing the app in the taskbar and I've also did a respring and a reboot and nothing has helped.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Some current apps won't run under IOS 4?

    Just got this from RunKeeper
    We wanted to reach out and warn you that the RunKeeper Free and RunKeeper Pro apps that you currently have on your phones are not iOS 4 compatible. New versions that are iOS 4 compatible are in the queue awaiting Apple's approval. We don't know if they will get approved before tomorrow (we hope they do), but if not, it should be any day now. In the meantime, if you wish to continue using RunKeeper while you are waiting, hold off on downloading iOS 4 until our next app version gets approved.
    Is this going to be a general problem with older apps?

    I suspect there are three categories:
    1. Apps which will not run under OS4
    2. Apps which will run under OS4 but not support multitasking
    3. Apps which will run under OS4 and support multitasking
    I understand Navigon has a new version in the wings in Cat 3.
    Hopefully the iTunes app store will identify those which will not work in OS4. But I suspect we may learn about some the hard way, starting tomorrow.

  • AIR 2.5 app won't run on Droid 2

    I have two problems and any help would be appreciated!
    1) Using Flash Builder Burrito Preview Version when I try to debug it won't publish the apk to my Droid 2, it just hangs at 6% and says "Launching".
    I have the latest Google USB Drivers, and I can install the apk to the device manually using "adb install xyz.apk". It has AIR 2.5 installed. I can also see the device when I run "adb devices".
    2) When I try to run my app on the Droid 2 it fails and simply doesn't launch. Below is my logcat dump.
    Note, I have run this same app on an EVO 4 just fine, and Flash Builder Burrito copied it over to the EVO just fine.
    Anyone know what gives with Droid 2?

    Just a quick tip that is semi-related...
    A quick way to get apk files onto your device is to use Dropbox.  I have Flash Builder set to create the apk file directly in a subfolder in Dropbox.  Then I open it on the device and it starts installing!
    NOTE: You have to have your device setup to install non-market apps to do this... Menu > Settings > Applications > Check "Unknown Sources"

  • IPad iPhoto app won't run

    After initial installation of the new iPad iPhoto app, you run iPhoto.  It attempts to "Update photo library".  Approximately 3/4 through, the software crashes going first to a black screen, then to the iPad's Home screen.  IOS 5.1 installed. I have 90 albums and over 14,000 photos in the iPad "Photo" application.  Over 1.2GB of storage remaining and 189MB of memory during the iPhoto operation.

    Greetings,
    With that number of images you might be getting a bit low on space but I'm not convinced thats the source of the issue.
    Consider trying the following to issolate the issue and please report back if one of these helps:
    Power cycle your iPad
    Double-tap your home button and remove all persistent apps (If you are a quick access user I know this is a pain but try it anyways please.  You can always go back and re-open them and call me names I won't mind )
    Delete and reinstall iPhoto -- Be aware this will make any journals you've made uneditable.
    Failing the above:
    Backup and restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    You have another app that is interfering with iPhoto installed on your iPad OR one or more images / albums is corrupt and is causing iPhoto to fail.  I don't have a magic way of fixing this beyond importing all the images to your computer and then putting them back on systematically testing iPhoto each time to see where the bad image is (although importing / deleting / re-syncing may vary well resolve the issue).
    Hope that helps.
