  • Music download interrupted, now iTunes app won't open or quit

    Music download frozen/interrupted.  Now iTunes app won't open or quit, and I'm unable to shut my computer down or install updates because it won't quit.

    Hello there, CoreyAmy.
    The following Knowledge Base article shows how to quit an application that has become unresponsive:

    If your download was interrupted using your Mac or PC
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Type your account name and password if prompted.

  • Free app won't open on iPhone since restore

    Hello,
    I had to restore my iPhone 5S after the latest iOS update 7.0.5
    I used to have an app called CityMapper (free app) on my phone before it crashed but since the restore it doesn't show on my phone. If I search for it in the app store on my phone it gives the option to 'open' and the app appears on my iTunes on my Mac but no matter what I do it won't open or appear on my iPhone.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Thanks but I tried that already and didn't work. I managed to fix it by closing music app, turned iTunes Match off, then deleted all music from the phone. Then turned iTunes Match on and opened music and all good now. Seems a bit slow tho especially browsing songs as I have loads. Cheers

  • ITunes app won't open with the new iOS7 update...what do I do?

    Tried opening itunes app, it comes up for a second then closes, not sure what to do...

    Hello Gigi,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes app after upgrading to iOS 7.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

I guess the ipod trys to lauch itunes upon hook up.  The message say " check with the deveoper to make sure itunes works with this version of Mac os X you may need to reinstall the application. be sure to install any updates for the application and Mac os X"  I have reinstalled the app multiple times and checked for any updates to the OS. Any help would be great...... before I have a stroke!

  • ITunes app won't open on ipad

    When trying to open the iTunes app on my ipad, it quickly closes. 
    There are a couple of my other apps that are doing the same thing.  The Pitfall and Jetpack app that my son plays also closes during the middle of it loading.
    How do I fix this?

    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.

  • My iTunes app won't open on my iPhone 5S.

    When I click on it, it immediately shuts down. I've turned off the phone and back on. I've also synced with iTunes on my computer. Not sue what else to try.

    I just found this answer posted back in September. Not sure why this glitch hasn't been fixed:
    Try this fix as it worked for us... It must be a hidden glitch : open the music app and click "store" in the upper left hand corner. It opens the store and corrects the glitch. After that, the store app will function properly again.

  • Some apps won't open with iPhone 5, ios 6

    Is anyone else having problems opening certain app with the new iphone 5 running the ios 6 software?  They open for a few seconds and then close immediately.

    I have the same problem
    Below are what I did a few days ago and might had led to the problem
    I transferred my purchases to iTunes and synced them --> no problem
    I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 --> no problem
    I installed "the little crane that could" version 4.4 --> starts but hangs
    Updated "the little crane that could" to version 4.4.1 --> crashes and never starts
    Removed the app to reinstall again --> not on App Store (knew later that Apple removed it for this bug)
    Installed again from my synced apps on my computer --> starts but shuts down unexpectedly
    Now all my apps shut down unexpectedly including App Store, Contacts, and even during phone calls voice is muted for a second and I get back to home screen. I thought that this usually happens when I am connected to either WiFi or cellular data but I found it happens even in Airplane mode.
    I tried all the options I found on the Internet like
    Restarting iPhone
    Rebooting iPhone
    Removing and Reinstalling the App (now it is back to App Store after fixing the bug)
    Closing all open apps by double clicking the home button
    Deauthorizing, then Authorizing my PC and syncing
    Downloading a free app
    I did not try to restore my iPhone because I do not want to lose my data and because some people said it did not help

  • Apps won't open on Iphone 4s.

    It's been happening more often each time, that apps on my iPhone 4s don't open. They'll blink and remain unopened but when I double-click on home, it'll show up as if it was open. At first it happened once every two months, but now it's happening almost every day. I've tried erasing one app and downloading it again and this fixes the problem temporarily, but soon it happens again and it's getting frustrating. There must be another way to fix this for a longer period of time.

    first restart

    if that don't help then go into

    and input the same appleID the apps were purchased with

  • What happens when the iphone app won't open on iphone 4?

    what happens when the phone does not open and automatically shuts down the phone?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
