IMessage Won't Open on iPad 2 iOS 6.1.3

My 32GB Black Wi-Fi iPad 2 Running iOS 6.1.3 has been working fine until recently. My friend spammed me with messages on iMessage and now it won't open. I launch it and it crashes. I've tried a soft reboot, a hard reboot, and a "reset all settings." In Settings<General<Reset
The only think I haven't tried is restoring it with iTunes. I know how to do it and I've done it in the past, I just don't want to go through the hassle. Any suggestions?
Thanks
David

To fix this issue, go into the contacts app and choose to send a message to a random contact. Then the messages app will open. Delete the spam message that was causing the problem, and delete the blank message you chose to send to the random contact. This discussion is now closed.
Thanks,
Dave

Email links won't open after ipad upgrade to 7.0.4, any help?

Web links in my emails won't open after ipad upgrade to ios 7.0.4, Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Music won't open on ipad 1

music won't open on ipad 1

Closing right away means your music app is crashing for some reason.
When you say "The iPad has the latest iOS on it", since it is an iPad 1, that iOS must be version 5.1.1, right?
Try restoring your iPad. Plug it in to iTunes on your computer, let it sync, then choose "Restore" from the iPad's summary tab on the right side.

Pages won't open on ipad 1

I am trying to access an excel file in my dropbox, but pages won't open on IPad 1. Any ideas? I shut it down, then turned back on. No difference.

Double tap Home button and delete Pages from multitask-bar.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.
Try again with Pages.
If no joy, delete Pages and redownload again.

Iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1

Please help. My iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1.. I already connected it to my pc but still didn't open. I waited for a long time, press the on/off, home buttons but still didn't work. Thanks Jah bless all..

Honsetly I do not know if they will charge you, however apple products usually have a one year warranty, such as your charging cable, might. But if you tried to use another charging cable then you will want to make an appointment with Apple. good luck

HT203175 App won't open on iPad

App won't open on iPad 1. Open, then close right away

I just tried this and it did not work :/
I just got the latest update and I'm wondering if that is what is causing it??
I got a new movie on itunes on my desktop, and I was trying to get on itunes from my ipad to be able to load it on there.
Then noticed itunes as well as the other game apps that I mentioned wouldn't load.
Other apps seem to be working just fine and I've been able to download new apps from the app store.

IMessages won't open after Mavericks upgrade

iMessages won't open after I upgraded to Mavericks. I keep getting prompted to "enter the keychain password," but I never created a keychain. I never used it before the upgrade, and I skipped the step during the upgrade because I did not want to use keychain and it was an option to skip it during set up.

HI,
The OS X Mac have been using Keychains for a long time.
In the Applications/Utilities folder open Keychain Access.
This should show you at least two keychains.
The Login one for your Mac User account and the System one.
Generally speaking the Keychain keeps the passwords used by various apps and it needs to be Open.
In most cases the Login password for the Mac Account user is also the password that opens the Keychian when the computer is started up.
As each Mac User Account owns it's own Keychain there can be issues when you drag an account from one computer to another rather than using Migration Assistant.
i.e. you might Own it on one computer but not on another.
In the Finder > Go Menu hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
In the library navigate to Keychains.
Click to highlight the Login one.
Now use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
At the Bottom unlock the padlock
Highlight the name that has (me) next to it (it should be your Shortname).
Once you have highlighted this use the cogwheel item at the bottom.
This should be greyed out but saying "Make you (Me) the Owner."
You should also have Read and Write permissions like in the Pic.

My iMessage won't open, it just crashes.

I have the iPod 5 with IOS7. And recently after I sent my sister a few dozens of pictures it crashed. I thought maybe because of the overload photos I must of sent; there were a lot. So when I went back to iMessage it won't open. It just keeps crashing. I asked my sister to send me a few messages so when it shows up in my lock screen I can slide to unlock and open it, or when the banner appears when I'm on different apps comes down I'll press it from there. But nothing seems to work. My battery died, so when I rebooted it up I thought hey maybe it'll work now. But it still doesn't. I've restarted it as well but it's still the same. I went into settings and turned them off then on again to see what it may do. But it doesn't help. I'd really appreciate the help I might get, thanks for your time!

IMessage won't open/freezes?

Both my iPod Touch 4th gen, and iPad mini won't open iMessage. I've restarted both, turned them off, restored them, turned iMessage off and logged out, and both have the latest software. When i try to open iMessage, I get a the layout of the screen but with no words or anything on it. When i logged out of iMessage and then opened it I was able to log in but it froze and I was unable to select any of the messages. What should I do?

If you only restored from backup try restoring to factory settings/new iPod.
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Adobe reader won't open on iPad after recent update

After most recent update, adobe reader won't open on my iPad. I have lots of docs that I need to get to. Please help.

This forum is probably the best you can do. We're now on the weekend, and Adobe engineers don't work 24/7. When they return on Monday and see the reports, they'll work to fix it. The update will need to be submitted to Apple and then approved for an update.
Note that there are other apps on the App Store which can read PDFs.

Podcasts show up as on ipad, but won't open on ipad

When I sync my ipad, my podcasts show up in my library, and on the computer as being on the ipad, however when I go to the ipad, the icons are there, but when I tap them, they won't open.

Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Quit the Music App and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset 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.
