Iphone apps not working on phone

I downloaded and bought quite a few apps.... it was working for awhile but now everytime i try to enter an app it pulls up for a second and just quits and returns to the home screen (this only happens on the apps i downloaded from the app store) i've tried on/off and backing up and restoring the phone and it happens the same. I think it would work if i didn't back up the phone and start over by downloading the apps... but i paid for these apps.... is there any way around this?

If the apps show up in iTunes on the computer, then you can safely remove the apps from the iPhone, then reinstall them back on the phone with a sync.
In iTunes, on the left side where you see "Applications", make sure the apps are listed there. If so, connect the iPhone, and in the "Applications" tab, uncheck all the apps listed, then click Apply. This will remove the apps from the phone (and transfer any from the phone to the computer that may not be on the computer already). Once that is complete, make sure your phone has no applications except for the default ones. After that, re-check the apps you want to install back on the phone, hit apply, and go from there. Sometimes a simple reinstall will fix many of these issues.

  • 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

  • Find iPhone app not working with iPad mini

    I opened "find iPhone" app on my iPad Mini and my iPhone location is correct, but my iPad Mini is showing up at a past address 2000 miles away on the East coast. I have never even taken this iPad to that address. Any ideas?

    You can't.
    If its not a universal app, you are stuck with the phone version unless you buy the HD version.
    Look for the 2x button on the screen with app open.

  • IPhone app not working

    OK folks, we might have to dig deep for this answer b/c it might be very specific to my iphone and iTunes app.
    I've had trouble logging on to Bank of America online banking via my iPhone 4s app (most recent app). I've never had this same trouble before a few weeks ago. I've been in touch with Bk of Amer tech support as well as Comcast (Xfinity) tech support about the issue. When I use the Bk of Amer iPhone app the program never lets me go beyond my online ID even though there is no doubt that its the correct online ID. I checked with Bk of Amer on that. After talking to everybody I thought I'd just try to login without WIFI which I have in my home via Comcast. And "Voila" I was and am still able to get through the app and gain access to my account. I've tried several times to get in after I go back to WIFI and it acts the same, no access. After some time of spinning gear I get a messsage that there is a "Connection Error, try back later".
    Comcast tells me that as long as I can gain access to my account by using our iMac or my Macbook then the WIFI problem is not theirs. They suggested I check with Apple. Has anyone experienced this? It's the only app in my iPhone 4s that does this. I can gain access to all my other online accounts.

    I have the same problem. It's totally annoying. Tried reinstalling the app and the same thing...all fine on cellular network but nothing on wifi

  • IPhone alarm not working when phone is switched off

    Is this right? My Nokia alarm always used to go off at the desired time even if the handset was completely switched off, but my iPhone doesn't appear to be able to do this?

    the iPhone won't be completely off then since it keeps the time adjusted and working, so it is running in the background!!!
    it is a matter of a software update!!
    if the iPhone as u guys claim is OFF OFF then u need to set up the time each time u turn it on!!
    that's what I know
    The iPhone is also not completely off, but it doesn't do anything noticeable when off (such as disturb others in a movie theater by sounding its alarm).
    But then of course nobody would surely be so stupid as to set an alarm to go off when they're going to be in such a place.

  • Iphone Apps not working

    Each time i selct and open it tries to open it for a second then it flashes off my screen and returns to my home page, it does this for every app i try to open. Any ideas?

    A reset might cure this, but the commonly quoted remedy is to just download another app - it can be any old free one.  This apparently fixes it.

  • My phone was stolen, what can I do to recover? He is off then the app "Find My iPhone" is not working. I'm desperate, because not even finished paying and is ma warranty.

    For Find My Phone to work, you must first turn it on in Settings > iCloud before the iPhone is stolen, and the iPhone MUST be turned on and connected with the Internet.  If not, it is not possible to locate it.  Report the theft to the police, change all passwords associated with accounts on the iPhone, contact your carrier in case the can blacklist it.

  • TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • I've lost my iPhone5 like 40 hours ago. I already turned the Lost mode on with Find my iphone app. But my phone has no data plan so it could not connect to the internet at all. I reported to the police, too. What else can I do? Can anybody advise?

    No...see the link I posted:
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
    Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

    Take it to an Apple Store and see about getting an out of warranty replacement. I believe it will run you about $150.

    I am seeing if I can get another battery even though I do not believe that is the issue.  It keeps giving me vdd_under which I believe is under voltage, maybe it is just a faulty battery?  It charges up like normal and functions normal (when plugged in, or above 90%) but it gives under voltage warnings and shuts down when in heavy use (using camera or going back and forth to imessage).  When just sitting idle it doesn't seem to turn off until that 55-60% mark.  It may just be a faulty battery because I feel I installed all of the other cables correctly when replacing the screen, and I don't think those connections should affect the battery anyway except for maybe the logic board cable (the 2nd cable to be unplugged after the battery cable) I guess I could clean that out as well with isopropyl just in case.
    Any other suggestions would be helpful... and I will get back to you if a new battery helps.  Thanks!

  • Apps not working on my I phone 4 when i turn on wifi they work fine ?

    apps not working on my I phone 4 when i turn on wifi they work fine ?

    That leads me to suspect that your cellular data is either turned off or not working.
    Check Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data and ensure it is ON.
    If it is, try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If neither of those resolves the issue, contact the carrier to troubleshoot your network/account issues with them.
