Mail won't stay open on iphone!

Nothing has changed, I've just suddenly can't keep my iphone mail open, can't read, send, I open it and it suddenly it goes back to the home page.

Ok so I got mine to work. I went to iTunes and downloaded the new operating system which was available for my 3gs as an update... (and it's really cool by the way).
It updated my carrier settings as well and the entire process took about twenty minutes, half of which was spent transferring my purchases and apps to itunes to make sure I didn't lose them.
So DON'T restore, simply download the new operating system and hopefully you will be good to go.
Hope that Helps.

  • IPad Mail Won't Stay Open

    My mail on iPad wil not stay open. Can anyone help? I have had the iPad since April 28. It was working ok. Today this problem started. I want to erase messages but it will not stay open long enough for me to do this

    Thank you everybody! But I have solved the problem on both iPad and iPhone by deleting the email account and then setting it up again. I had it on to display 200 emails and once it reached that I could not erase as mail would not stay open. Does anyone think that this is a glitch in the iPad??
    Once I deleted the account it got rid of all the emails and I am starting fresh again. Of corse all the emails are still on my computer!
    Thanks for your replies!

  • Autodance/JustDance3 App won't stay open on iPhone 4S

    Hi. I have tried the two "fixes" as recommended by others on this site: 1) resetting my iPhone 4S (three times) and 2) I have also downloaded a new free app. Neither of those have fixed the problem. It only seems to be the Just Dance 3/Autodance app that won't stay open but I don't want to lose all my dancing videos on there as they cannot be recreated Please help me I've had the 4S from November 2011. I assume that if I delete the app and reinstall it that will delete all of my videos? I can't see another way to get the videos off the iPhone and on to my laptop. Very upset!

    Yes, have also contacted the app developer - no response as yet I can't seem to access ratings and reviews on iTunes on my laptop. I can't get on to the app store on my iphone currently as poor 3G signal :/
    From memory I think it has 5* reviews though. I hope someone has a fix for this.
    Do you know where the videos created are stored on the iPhone and if there is anyway to get them off and onto my laptop?
    Thanks for your reply

  • Mail won't stay open

    In the last 24 hours Mail has started crashing the moment I open it on my IPhone. The mail screen pops up for a second, and then closes again. I've updated my software, but it had no affect.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Try pressing the home and sleep button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appears. This will give your phone a 'kick', you won't loose any data and it normally sorts the bugs out.

  • Mail won't stay open on my Macbook Air

    Hi I am having an issue with mail on my Macbook Air i have Yosemite. It opens then immediately the view window closes but the mail menu stays in top grey panel any one know how to fix this please.

    Try logging out and back in or restarting your Mac.
    If that doesn't do it, try looking for out-dated add-ons, as shown here -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

  • Mail app won't stay open and keeps crashing

    I use iPhone 7.1. Every time I open my Mail app, it crashes. I don't know why.
    I have maybe 700,000 unread emails, fourteen different email accounts (8 Gmails, 2 iClouds, 2 Gmx's, and 2 AOLs, all of which are linked together through my Mail app), over 16,000 photos, and 0 bytes of free space left on my phone.
    I've had my phone since 23 May 2013.
    I bought it off Amazon for $161.
    How can I get my Mail app to work again? Whenever I open the Mail app, it stays open for about 60 seconds, then a black screen appears, and the Mail app crashes.

    Hi don290022,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's Mail application becoming unresponsive, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Itunes store app on iPhone 4S won't stay open. Why?

    The iTunes Store app on my 4S won't stay open.  It closes after a couple of seconds.  Why?  How do I fix it?

    Hi gap03,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the iTunes app is quitting unexpectedly, first make sure you've restarted/reset your iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Next, you may want to verify whether the issue is due to the iTunes Store connection:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store

    If the behavior persists, try the remaining steps in our iPhone assistant:

  • Help! My ipad mail window wont stay open to read mail?

    ipad has been sending & recieving mail with no problems but suddenly is recieving mail but when mail window keeps shutting down & won't stay open??? Any ideas??? 

    It won't be a virus
    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail '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 the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try 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.

  • Keypad won't stay open

    When I'm trying to type in numbers to get through an answering service, the keypad won't stay open. The screen actually goes blank while I'm typing. I have to press the button to get it to wake up, and, if I'm lucky, I can get another button pressed before it goes to sleep again.
    This is the only problem I have with this phone, but it is becoming very irritating. I just had to enter a prescription number 3 times. Is there something I'm doing wrong to make it go to sleep?

    This is not a normal function of the iPhone. There is no setting or nothing your doing wrong.
    To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
    First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
    If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

    Hi,
    I had the same problem and isolated it to a DRM issue. My 1st gen iPhone wouldn't play music purchased from iTunes or run apps purchased from iTunes (but music I loaded myself, ripped from CD worked fine). All other native apps worked fine (Safari, Phone, Txt, etc.).
    I tried to sync and did a reset and it did not fix the issue. I then deleted an album of music off the iPhone (one I had purchased from iTunes) and then resynced it to the iPhone. This triggered my iPhone to correct all the metadata for the purchased items (including apps), indicating they were authorized to work with the DRMd items, and then everything worked fine. This is easier than a restore or reset and seems to do the trick. My experience is that you can sync and sync and sync without resolving the issue...until you make a change and THEN sync which seems to trigger things. I also had this problem initially trying to get the Genius Playlist feature to work....once I added some music, voila, everything was there. Hope this helps.

  • Book won`t stay open in media overdrive after ios 7 install

    In Media Overdrive my book won`t stay open after ios7 install.  Please help!

    I got the same problem with my iphone 5 rear camera and tried the solutions suggested here but it did not work.
    The camera application which came with ios7 is frozen as soon as it opens. I does not take photos or switch between cameras.
    I have been able to use the front camera with Snapseed, QR reader . however no application is able to open my rear camera.
    I am not sure but  it can related with the application updates either ios7 or the camera applications already installed on our iphone. Uninstalling those apps which has access to camera and rebooting may solve the problem. This is just an idea !

  • My Itunes will not stay open, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open

    My Itunes will not stay open. Everytime I open it it just gives me a wait signal and then closes down on it's own. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open.... what should I do now?

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! :(

    Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! If I close Firefox and reopen it, all my live bookmark folders are closed and I have to manually reopen them (such as BBC World News, etc.). Please restore the old functionality: If I have it open when I quit, let it be open when I come back! If I had it closed, then keep it closed. Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply and for taking an interest. I've attached the screenshot in PNG format--hope that's okay. I use bookmarks only in the Sidebar, never in the toolbar (I just have way too many!)
    The BBC News live bookmark that is shown opened in that screenshot always comes back closed after I close Firefox and reopen it. (This is true for ALL other live bookmarks as well. Formerly, in earlier versions of Firefox, the open ones always remained open, and the closed ones closed, which is the correct behavior, imho.)
