Just updated iphone4 to ios5, now apps won't open, they blink once but won't run

After updating to ios5 on my iphone4 I cannot open apps, for instance, facebook, twitter, pandora, etc., when I touch them to open they blink once and the screen returns to normal. Safari and the like operate. ???

So i guess what's not working is the notification center. I swiped it and saw it but it's not showing the phone call or email that just came in. just the weather update! On my friend's phone who had upgraded she had a little bar across the top that was always there with current notifications. Mine doesn't do that. Any suggestions?

  • Dock problem: Apps won't open, they bounce once and don't open.

    hi,
    my ex-girlfriend has had problems with opening up some of her programs (Mail, Safari, iChat, iTunes, Msn-Messenger, Skype) on the dock. They bounce on the dock once and then don't open at all. She said that it just happened after a recent update (17/9/08).
    I've been trying Disk Utility and this comes up with:
    +_First Aid Failed_.+
    +Disk Utility stopped verifying 'Macintosh HD' because the following error was encountered:+
    +The underlying task reported failure on exit+
    Underneath it says: 1 HFS volume checked, Volume needs repair.
    I have also used Disk Warrior and that also came up with the same error that this person got (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1459800&tstart=4).
    I've even tried using fsck but that wasn't successful. I think I might need to work from disk utility from the start-up disks but was wodnering would I ahve to first back-up all the stuff that she has on her laptop at the moment???

    I compiled what I could find on the application bouncing once problem.
    I made it for Safari but much of it may apply to other Applications.
    - Create a new user account on your machine.
    - Log in under that new user account.
    - Try to launch Safari.
    If Safari launches under the new user account,
    Then it's likely a preference file or some Safari add-on (e.g. "Application Enhancers" PithHelmet or Saft) running under the original account that's preventing it from launching. Remove them, if possible and clear the cache.
    If Safari does not start under the new user account the same way it doesn't under your original account,
    Deletion and reinstallation will be needed:
    1) Back up your bookmarks to a safe location. Your Safari bookmarks are in Your Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist. Copy the Bookmarks.plish file to a flash drive, or somewhere safe.
    2) Download Safari from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ and save it where you saved your bookmarks backup.
    3) Download an application deletion software, such as AppCleaner or AppZapper. A simple Google search will provide you with download locations.
    4) Once you have installed the application deletion software, run it to delete Safari. The application should find and delete all files related to your Safari install. This is why it is important to save your safari download package and your bookmarks backup to a flash drive off of your system. If you did not do this, make sure to uncheck these files from the deletion list.
    5) Restart your computer and install Safari once again. Once you have installed it, you should copy your bookmarks file to the new Safari's location. It will be located at "Your Home/Library/Safari/". If their is already a Bookmarks.plist in the Safari folder, then replace it with the backup.
    If deletion and reinstallation doesn't help,
    Perform networking diagnostics.

    I just updated my software and now I can't open PDF's.  When I click on a PDF it becomes all black.  Please HELP.

    Try Using Disk Utility to VERIFY your Hard drive and Repair Permissions. If Verify finds problems, you will need to boot to a different Volume (such as your Installer/Utilities DVD and run Disk Utility again from there.

    If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

    I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I've also seen it suggested that people try downloading a free app from the store onto the iPad (as that seems to reset something), and then re-try the apps - the free app can then be deleted.

    I just updated my pages and now it won't load. This is on my iPad. The first version which has the latest version it can have 5.1 or something like that. I am trying to open a document and am worried that if I uninstall and reinstall I will lose all my documents

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • I just updated my IPOD and now the only apps that open are the ones that came on it! what do i need to do?

    i just updated my IPOD and now every app except the apps that come on it wont open.

    - Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If not successful try downloading/installing a new app. Pick a small free app.

    *** my iPhone 4 just updated to ios6 and now I can't message photos or install apps?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I just updated my iPad an now it I s super slow...

    I just updated my iPad an now it is super slow, I lost all my music, and it keeps stopping whatever I was currently doing an goes back the the home screen. what is u, and how do I fix it?

    There are a few things that you could try for the apps abending. First try closing all apps via the taskbar and then see if they work ok when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A second option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you have iCloud enabled on the iPad in Settings > iCloud then turning it off might also help (but see if the above two things help first).
    In terms of your music, is it not on your computer's iTunes ? Music isn't included in a backup so for the update/restore process to be able to copy it back to your iPad it needs it be on the computer's iTunes that you used to update via. If they are iTunes purchased music and you don't have them on your computer or on a backup, then depending upon which country that you are in you might be able to re-download them from the store : re-downloading.

  • Updated iPad to ios5, now getting error message

    Just updated iPad to ios5 today.  Now when plugging into my wired Apple iPad Keyboard Dock, I get the "accessory not supported for charging" message.  Advice please.

    First of all: before you upgrade, always make a backup of your device in iTunes!
    The following happens when upgrading to iOS 5 (this is different from previous system upgrades!):
    The installer creates automatically a restore file
    Then a clean system is installed on your device, all your data will be removed. Don't panic, this will be ok later on.
    When the os is updated you get a few configuration questions (i.e. language settings).
    At one point you're given a choice:
    configure device as a new device
    restore from iCloud
    restore from iTunes
    Unless you want to start all over, choose the third option.
    All your settings will be restored at first and your device will restart.
    Now comes the tricky bit: After restart your device will work fine as if the process is finished. i.e. you can send and recieve mails. At this point you will not see the apps you had installed, also you're photo's and movies will not be on your device. (I was fooled buy this one at first too)
    Do not disconnect your device or quit iTunes! In the background iTunes is still restoring the rest of your data. (Switch to iTunes and you'll see the progress.) This can take some time, depending on how much apps you had installed. One by one you'll see apps appearing on your device. You can't use the untill the whole restore is finished.
    When all apps are back, your photo's and video's will be restored.
    So please be patient. It took me more than an hour to get everything back in place.
    The only small annoyance: there are new Apple-apps added to the homescreen. They're 'pushed' to the second screen by your own homescreen apps, leaving your second screen almost empty. Now you only have to rearrange the apps on the second screen.
    If all turns out bad, because you unplugged your device too early, go back to your restore file you made yourself before upgrade. (You did do that, didn't you?) and start the process all over.

    Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two! iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first account where there is no available password. I have tried several times to reset the password, bun I don't get the information I need - I have no access to email. What can I do?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks
