Iphone 4 app wont open after ios 5.1

all me apps worked before i updated my iphone to ios 5.1 and now when i try and open a app it trys and opend it and the cloeses stright away what shell i do or do i have to restore it

When you restore, do you still have ios 5.1, or does it restore to the previous ios?
I tried the update last night and am experiencing the same problems as above and more. My audio files that I had on the iPhone have disappeared, even though they are still present in my iTunes library and when I have the iPhone connnected to my Mac, iTunes tells me that they are on the phone.
Seems only native Apple Apps are opening on the iPhone. No third party apps launch. Just a quick flash or bounce like it tries to open and nothing happens. Funny thing is I still receive notifications from these apps. iMessage, Calendar and Contacts work fine and also the phone abilities to make and receive calls.
I hope this restore thing works for me when I try tonight. Fortunately, I had "cloned" my Mac before I updated iTunes and the iPhone IOS so if need be I still have a copy of all my files I could go back to. Still, what a aggrevating experience!

    Hi kryptonmusic,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like an app you installed will not open. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support

  • Mail icon wont open after ios update on iphone 5

    After the IOS update today, my mail icon will not open and the screen seems to have lost sensitivity. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

  • Apps wont open after update

    Hi, My apps will not open on my iphone 4 after doing the io6 update today. Have tried getting new apps and rebooting, any ideas anyone.

    Sorry to know but in any case you can't rollback the Firmware..
    Did you try re-installing the Applications that are not working ? Because even if these were installed on Memory Card, they will lose any attributes that get automatically installed in the Phone memory during the resets that you have tried.
    BTW you may try re-installing the Firmware thru' Nokia Software Updater.. but there is NO guarantee that it will go thru' without error.. but no harm trying also..

  • Apps wont open after updating phone. and internet is wonky

    ever since i updated to 4.3.2 on my iphone i havent been able to really use the internet period. and i keep getting a message saying my phone isnt connected to the network, even though it says i have bars and i am at full striength wifi. also to make this that much more lovely i cant open any app that uses the internet it just flashes n then closes, though it is showing up in when i double click to see what tasks i have open. ive tried closing them out and restarting. but nothing has helped.

    Downloaded apps or built-in Apple apps?
    For downloaded apps:
    Try downloading any new free or paid app from the App Store. See if your other apps work.
    For built-in Apple apps:
    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Apps wont update after iOS 7.0.2 says "unable to download app".

    iPad 2 just did the iOS 7.0.2 upgrade.
    24 of my apps are grayed out and unable to use. I try to update all in the app store and it says, "Unable to download app. Could not be installed at this time" and gives me the option of Done or Retry.
    I also cannot download new apps.
    I have tried:
    1. signing out and signing back in. credentials are correct.
    2. no restrictions are enabled.
    3. hard restart.
    4. normal powerdown.
    5. Wifi conneciton is good. verified using other streaming apps that do work.
    6. 4 gigs of room still on the ipad.
    Only thing I have tried is resynching with my computer.
    Help! What should I do!?!

    There must be a real solution. I am not going to randomly delete all my apps one by one hoping that by coincidence it kick starts the waiting ones... I did this in the beginning to check what was going on and it didn't help. I think it is an apple bug and apple needs to fix it. I thought this was an apple support site and not just a place where people give random hunches (sorry, I don't want to be respectless, and I appreciate your attempt to help). I don't know how to get in touch with apple.

  • IPhone apps not resuming after phone call - iOS 7 bug

    iPhone apps not resuming after phone call - iOS 7 bug
    With iOS 6, while playing music on Spotify or playing Candy Crush, etc, if the phone rang and I answered, or if I made a call, once the call was ended, the app I was using would resume. The music would start playing again or the game would resume.
    In iOS 7 this isn't working. Listening to music, I answer a call, music stops and when call is ended, nothing! the phone stays on the phone app.
    anybody else see this behaviour?
    thanks!

    Any ideas anyone?
    thanks

  • My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
    It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.
