Iphone 5s apps won't open unless on wifi

Need advice. Just go iPhone 5s set up and works great when connected to wifi - however if not, apps do not open/load, can't text message, no internet.
Doesn't appear to be suing my celluar connection, even though in Settings it set to do so. Thoughts?

Hey Whatelylm,
These are the recommended troubleshooting steps for when you encounter cellular data issues on your iPhone:
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
Restart your iPhone.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.

Iphone 4S apps won't open/run

Hi my phone has recently developed a problem where some of the apps won't open or run properly.
facebook for example even the appstore, when I open them I just get a 'loading' icon and nothing else.
Do I have to restore my phone to it's original settings? I really don't want to lose all my text messages etc.
many thanks in advance.

If it's an Apple ID authentification problem this can be resolved by downloading and installing any free app. Even though I doubt that's the problem it wouldn't do any harm to try. If this doesn't resolve it, and it's only certain apps that are effected, try deleting these apps from your phone and reinstalling them. You delete them by tapping and holding the app icon until it wiggles, then tap the x. You can redownload them for free (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
If it still persists, the next step is to restore your phone. You can first try to do this from backup, which will preserve your currend settings and data. Follow this guide to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, taking care to back up your phone at step 6. You will have the option to restore from this backup at the end. You must sync your phone with iTunes after doing this to transfer your media (music, etc.) back to your phone. If this doesn't work, then you will have to go through this process again, but restore your phone as new (since the backup contains the source of the problem). Unfortunately, you will lose your current data and settings.

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.

IPhone 4 apps won't open?

When I click on the app, it looks like it's going to open but then quickly goes back to the screen. I've tried turning off my phone, restarting it, and resyncing the apps on iTunes (where you check and uncheck the apps). Because I downloaded most of my apps on my phone, not the computer, the checking on iTunes only fixed the apps I bought on iTunes. I'm currently downloading the new update, 5.1.1, but still have 2 hours left. Will this fix it? How can I fix the apps I bought on my phone? Thanks!

Here are a few things you can try.
Hold the home button and power button on your device until you see the apple logo - once phone reboots test.
If that didnt fix it try this.
Go to settings>general>reset>reset all settings - follow the setup assistant - test again.
If that didnt work try this
Connect to computer
Click on iPhone under devices.
Click on Apps tab
Uncheck Sync apps - click remove - click apply
Recheck sync apps - Recheck all apps desired- apply
If that didnt work then your down to the restore, and setup as new.
Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Once the restore is complete do not restore from backup - choose setup as new.
Make sure to backup your contacts/photos/Calendars/ before doing this since this will erase everything off of the device

Apps won't open unless I open a second app...

Anyone had this problem? I've beed using Leopard (10.5.5) with Adobe CS for ages and had no problem, then I started my work Mac on Monday, went to launch PShop and the icon just bounced forever - no message - then stopped, so I tried Illustrator - same thing happened but it forced PShop to finish opening. Then I opened Acrobat which forced Illustrator to finish opening...
I created a new user and tried it out same thing happened. I cleared the prefs. Still the same thing. I re-installed CS and nothing's changed.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
Ryan

That indicates the issue is systemwide. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.5 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Mac apps won't open, very slow, wifi: no hardware installed.

Hi, I am extremely frustrated right now. I recently software updated, but I'm having major issues. The IT department at my university couldn't handle this one. Basically, my MacBook won't do anything right now. It starts fine, and I can still access files so right now I'm working on transferring all of them. When I try to open an app, it will just bounce forever and I'll have to force quit it. Also, when my wifi is clicked, it says there is no hardware installed in grey type. Ive tried repairing permissions and everything short of a wipe/install....to my knowledge. I'm so frustrated right now so I'd love some input! Thanks!

Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

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!

Hi Darr4425,
That's not good! We definitely want your device to work properly at all times. What email application are you attempting to open? When did the issue start? Do you receive an error message when the application force closes?
Thanks,

All my 3rd party apps won't open on my iPhone 4.

Recently all my apps won't open on my iPhone. All the stock Apple apps work though. All the 3rd party apps don't work. What can I do? I tried resetting, and restoring. What else should i try?

I'm also going through this problem and the only way to fix it (as far as I know) is go to App Store in your iPhone and download any random app (free app preferably), then make sure all your 3rd party apps work again and delete the random app you just downloaded.

Tried the iTunes App on my iPhone....Still nothing!
Infact I have no "Apps App" to tap & open so i cannot view/purchase any Apps for my iPhone
My wife's even tried downloading Apps to my iPhone from our iPad after syncing them up but all it seems to do is send me the App badge from our iPad to my iPhone but cannot open it because the App is still 'Waiting'...Waiting for what???...nothing!??...No download???...just a faded App which won't open? Apps that just sit & wait!??? It's not good when your trying to run a business for the 1st time & not good when its causing rows either! So what do I do? because its been like this for a year nearly now...:S

Some of my apps won't open? I have the iPhone 4s.

Whenever I clicked an app, the screen would sortve blink but it wouldnt open. So I tried deleting an app and then I reinstalled it and the other apps still wouldn't open. So I tried the same thing with an app I actually wanted to use which was temple run, and it worked again. Only thing is, it deleted everything. All my data, all the things I bought on it. I definitely was not a happy camper. For future references, can anyone else suggest something I should do when my apps won't open? ... And anyone know how I can get back all of that stuff? Im really unhappy about deleting an app and all of its data and having to reinstall it everytime it doesn't open. Hope apple fixes this problem soon.

Store button on music app won't open? Any suggestions?

Store button on music app won't open? Any suggestions?

This is what I did:
1a. Podcasts app deleted from the iPhone. Doesn't show on any of the home screens on the iPhone. The button next to the Podcasts app in iTunes says "Install". Synching the iPhone with iTunes generates the message "The Podcasts app is not installed on 'Maggie's iPhone 4', so you will not be able to play podcasts on your iPhone"
1b. Clicked the "Install" button for the Podcasts app in iTunes. It now displays "Will Install"
1c. Clicked "Apply" in iTunes to start iPhone sync. iTunes shows "Copying 1 of 1: Podcasts"
1d. Podcasts app icon is shown correctly on one of the iPhone home screens. Previously, the Podcast app icon was a generic placeholder icon.
1e. Resyched iPhone and launched Podcasts app. Everything now working properly.
2 & 3. Didn't have to perform these steps, which implies that earlier suggestions contributed to the fix.
Thanks for your help!

Apps won't open

Someone has gone wrong with my Z10 and now any "android related" apps that i download, i.e. songza, kobo, etc. won't open. When I click on them they simply exit. I have tried EVERYTHING and am getting very frustrated. I have the OS 10.1.04651. Please help!

Blackberry simply doesn't care. They don't provide any info on how to solve this problem. I'm trying to solve this problem too. All apps won't open even when i restart the phone. Next time i won't recommend purchasing blackberry and just say to buy an iphone, at least it has far more support for any kind of problem.
