IPhone 5 Apps won't open after New Years Eve

I got a new iPhone 5 for Christmas. Everything was working fine up until New Year's Eve. On January 1st non of my Apps will open. I've deleted them manually from the phone and reinstalled them from the App Store, powered phone off, put phone in airplane mode and non of my purchased Apps will open. Only Apps that work are those that came pre-installed. I'm thinking I might just go back to using my 3GS never had an issue.

Panic over!!! I just hit one of the apps and it opened....not sure what is going on but all looks good now. Phew what a relief.

My messages app won't open, after I sent a large iMessage. I think it just has too much data on it. What can I do other then reset my iPhone?

My messages app won't open, after I sent a large iMessage. I think it just has too much data on it. What can I do other then reset my iPhone?

Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!

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

How come my apps won't open after updating to ios5

how come my apps won't open after updating to ios5?

Thanks for the feedback. This is a custom enterprise application. So there is not an update yet. It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable. So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.

Iphone apps won't open!

My iphone apps are not working after a recent update. The apps show up on phone but when I try to open the app the screen goes black and returns to the main screen. help!!

This fixed it:
I FIGURED IT OUT !
There's something going on with the latest version of iTunee.
This affects people with old and new version of firmware for iPhone 3G.
What happens... All your apps stop working because they are no longer authorized for use, after a syncing with iTunes.
The fix... Before doing a sync with iPhone, deselect all the applications. Sync (in effect, you're removing all applications from your iPhone). In iTunes, click Store / Authorize Computer, and enter your password. Don't worry, you won't use up any of your 5 alloted activations. Go back to applications and reselect all your applications. Sync. You're done and EVERYTHING WORKS !
I figured this out when i tried the delete / restore technique mentioned before. iTunes gave me a message saying my computer was not authorized to restore the applications. Huh? So in fact it's iTunes causing the headaches.

Some apps won't open after OS X Mavericks update

After the update to OS X Mavericks, some apps won't open on my macbook pro. That include things like preview, boot camp assistant, from what I've tried so far. When I click on those from applications menu or from the spotlight search, the icon appear on the dock very briefly(like 1 sec) and nothing happened after that. Based on the internet search, I tried the Disk permissions repair and didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi aung.24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend trying the troubleshooting for "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" from this article:

CS photoshop suddenly won't open after 5 years

CS photoshop suddenly won't open after running perfectly for 5 years. I do not have the original install disc.
Any suggestions? Apple and Adobe Tech folks could not help.

Cris (and Tai Lao)
there was no installation of a scanner (my Canon LiDe 500F scanner
has worked just fine for years) or camera driver (altho I had
recently downloaded some pix from my nikon onto iphoto) BUT— your
idea was brilliant!--disable Twain, which I did and ps launched
successfully!!
Now, as Tai Loa predicted, I can no longer import the scanner thru
ps. Given my current work crunch that's not so terrible, but how does
one access a scanner without using ps? If you have had just about
enough of me and want to pass on that question I'll understand.
I am ever so grateful to the two of you for making my ps usable
again, but it's midnight here in NYC and I have to pack up my tent
and look for your scanner question reply at the crack of dawn
tomorrow. It's been an exhausting anxiety-ridden day but I'm relieved
and grateful that there are bright people like both of you out there,
interested and willing to help. Many thanks.

IPhoto won't open after new install and restore of back-up

Hi guys
My hard drive just died (for the second time in 6 months!) so I have just gotten the computer back with a new drive. I did a new install of Tiger from my original install CDs, did the download thing to get all the updates, and ran a "restore" from my external drive using iBackup (http://www.grapefruit.ch/iBackup//index.html) to restore all my previous system settings, documents, etc. So far this seems to have worked well, a couple of 3rd party applications didn't re-install - specifically Neo Office and WiFind - but I was able to manually install those and everything seems to be working fine.
Except iPhoto. It won't open. When I click the dock icon it bounces once and does nothing. No little arrow under it or anything. Nothing at all happens when I click the icon in Finder (in the Applications folder). When I searched it in spotlight it told me there was a file called iphoto.crash.log, so I went and had a look at that hoping it would tell me the problem, but I don't understand it. I'm not particularly good at the behind the scenes stuff with computers.
Wondering what I should do now - if someone can perhaps interpret the log file and find the issue if that would help, or if I should uninstall and re-install iPhoto by itself (and if so, how?), or if there is something else that may be causing the issue. I noticed there are a few files relating to it when I search with spotlight but I don't know which of them might be relevant. I could post a screenshot if that is allowed, or post the log file if it would help?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help!
Regards,
Chloë

400 Updates???
Did you Repair Permissions before & after each one?
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Back to the other library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

All third party apps won't open after moving to 4g

I updated the desktop to iTunes 10 and downloaded all of the updates to my iPod apps. I bought a new 4g to replace a lost 2g. I synced after dl'ing app updates to the desktop.
All 3rd party apps only open and close all in 1/2 second.
Will the suggestion on the support page about reauthorizing the computer help this issue?
I haven't been able to get back home to try. Thanks.
(disregard specs below.... I still have all that, but now I'm on my 4gTouch)

Sorry, I was sending that from my iPod.
I lost my last iPod. It was backed up on iTunes on my Desktop computer. It was a 2G model.
I've been off the internet for about 4 months but recently bought a new 4G Touch and got a new Broadband2Go card.
So, I used my Desktop computer to update all the apps for my Touch to iTunes on my Desktop, then I synced my iPod to my Desktop to apply all of the updates to the Touch.
All apps are there, just like before, but nothing will open. Only the Apple apps. They flash but close right away.
I'm home now, and will try the Apple suggestion in the FAQ.
I just wanted to make sure it was the best way to approach my particular problem.

Several apps won't open after 10.9.5 update

I have an 2011 Mac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3, with 4GB 1333 HZ DDR3. After the iOS 10.9.5 update, the following apps will not open: Finder, Mail, Photo Booth, iPhoto, and Calendar (the mouse also seems to lose connection often). I CAN get a second window of Finder to open and the system seems to think the apps are open. I've restarted the Mac several times with the same result. This is the second time I've done the upgrade to 10.9.5 - the first time I couldn't get a different group of Apps to open (including the App Store, System Preferences and that time the trackpad continually lost connection). I've looked through the discussion boards and can't find anyone else with this problem.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

IWork apps won't launch after new HD installed

My hard drive was failing so all files were backed up to an external hard drive (don't know what method - the Mac store did it for me) then moved to the new hard drive. Now the iWork apps won't launch. Doesn't matter which account I use and makes no difference if I boot in Safe Mode. I've updated iWork and still no difference. The icon flashes a couple of times on the dock, then disappears. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When you say you updated iWorks are you talking about the update a few days ago? How about just reinstalling the applications?

Apps won't open with new system on ipad

Certain apps will not open with the new update operating system

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

Facebook app won't open after update

I have an iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1 and after I did an update to my Facebook app thru the app store it wont open anymore. When I tap the Facebook app it looks like its going to open but after a couple of seconds it goes back to my home screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it numerous times, did a reboot several times, deleted it from the bottom tray after double clicking the home key (circle button) and even tried tried installing several new apps but NOTHING works. Please help!

My facebook app is doing the exact same thing. I installed all of the updates from the app store notifications last night. Afterward, the facebook app will start to open and then close. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and also rebooted the phone. Nothing is helping. Any other suggestions?
