Maps app is hanging on a yellow screen. Can I reinstall somehow?

I can kill the app, relaunch, and I get a yellow screen with the page curl on the bottom right, and several buttons on the edges, but nothing else.

Sounds like the 'white screen of death'.
Try rebooting your phone. Take the battery out for a few minutes then re-insert battery and see what happens. It may take some time to reboot. There have been numerous "fixs" for this problem, but until RIM come up with a definitive answer to stop it happening, then really theres nothing we can do except try some things. The battery pull has been offered on a few forums and some say it worked for them. Worth trying again.
You could always try THIS
but that seems a bit extreme, but may work if the reboot doest. Do you remove the battery whilst its still on? thats how you normally do a reboot. take batt out whilst powers on. Sorry if this doesnt help, but i know theres people all over the net that get this issue.

I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 7 and I have lost 3 app icons. The apps still appear in settings, so I can't reinstall the app as they're already there. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via an iTunes sync, but it hasn't helped.

Can anyone help please?

Have you checked to see if the Apps have been placed in an App folder?
Try swiping down from the middle of the screen so the search bar appears. Type the name of the App and if the App appears it is indeed on your phone.
You could also try restarting your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears.

HT1199 Hi. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks on Macbook air. Every time I open the app it hangs right there and I can't do anything on it. I've uninstall and install it back again but the issue still persists. Any help please?

HI. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks. Everytime I open it up it just hangs right there and I can't do anything with it. I've deleted the app and installed it back again but the problem sitll persists. Any help please?

Thank you so much for helping,
But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

I somehow lost my original maps app on my iPhone 4. How can I get it back?

How do I get the original map apps back on my phone?

Yeah there's no setting for that. So either you don't have an iPhone, or your iPhone is jail broken. If it's jail broken, just restore to factory and all will be fixed :)

I accidentally deleted the built-in Maps app from my iPhone 4s. How can I get it back?

I'm not sure how I managed to delete it, since I thought built-in apps couldn't be deleted. It's also missing now on iTunes so I'm at a loss as to how to get it back. Tried shutting down and restarting but that didn't work.

You can not delete built-in Apps. You must have accidentally moved it into another folder.
Try the following...
Try searching for it using Spotlight.
Try a reset. Press and hold the Sleep and Home buttons for about ten seconds, ignore the red slider, until the Apple logo appears then release. This is the equivalent of a re-boot. You will not lose any data.
Try resetting the Home Screen Layout
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

I'm Using Mac OS X V. 10.6.8 and I unistalled the App store via Mac cleaner. How can I reinstall it again?

can anybold help me please?

Reinstall the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 which should replace it. If it does not then you will need to reinstall Snow Leopard and then the combo updater.

Maps app missing

Somehow, my Maps app is missing on my home screen. It only appears when I double tap the home button, and then it appears at bottom of screen with all the recently opened apps. Any way I can get it back on the home screen where it was when I bought the phone? I have the iPhone 4.

Thank you. I very carefully checked all screens and it def was gone. Only appeared when I double tapped home button to shoe recently opened apps. But I guess it doesn't matter to question it. Your instruction solved the issue. Thanks again!

App Store hangs on install attempt

Whenever I click an "install" or "buy" button in the App Store, the App hangs forever and fails to respond to any input, forcing a Force Quit. I've tried repairing permissions, rebooting, zapping the PRAM, and installing the 10.6.6 combo update on top of the existing update.
This problem surfaced as soon as I updated to 10.6.6. I initially rebooted a couple times, left the problem alone, and it went away unexpectedly. Now it seems to be back... only this time, it's apparently personal.
I've also had problems attempting to load Final Cut Studio 2 apps, which hang on startup and fail to launch any windows. I mention it here because I ran across a poster suffering through issues with his pro apps who was also experienced the App Store hanging on purchases. That can be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12907935#12907935
I don't know if those two are connected, but I've tried virtually everything (permissions, PRAM, trashing preferences) barring reinstalling the OS back to 10.6.5 to completely remove the App Store. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

I tried a bunch of solutions, including resetting my password, to no avail. Since I was also having trouble with Final Cut Studio apps, I decided to wipe my hard drive, do a clean install of 10.6 and apply the 10.6.6 combo update. App Store now installs items without hanging.
The average person probably won't want to clean-install their whole system. However, I recommend anyone updating from 10.6.5 to use the Combo Update instead of updating via Software Update. It's a pain in the tuckus, but it seems to be consistently safer. You can find the combo update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
Update: I've also heard that having your Boot Camp partition mounted can cause a hang. I've had a couple hangs since updating, and I can confirm that unmounting the Boot Camp partition helps alleviate them.

IPad Mini 2 goes ballistic when being charged -- in other words, it hangs abruptly ; does not type properly. Moreover, in some instances open apps peculiarly force quit without the screen being touched whatsoever.

Hi, RomeroSalsa.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the responsiveness of your iPad mini while charging. I would need a little more information on how you are charging the device to provide a better answer. While the steps below are not exactly labeled for this issue, they may help resolve the issue.
If the battery doesn’t charge
If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Map app is Dangerous- It does not provide Voice Direction. I almost made an ACCIDENT! You can't expect to drive while looking at the screen

Map app is dangerous
it does not provide any voice direction. I almost made an ACCIDENT. You Cannot expect anyone to drive while looking at the screen.

Correct the Map app does not give audible turn by turn navigation. It does not advertise as doing so. There are many GPS applications which are avaialble that do.
Like any device use of common sence is in order. From the Important Product Information Guide, one of which can be found here.

My G4 hangs on a grey screen when I try to boot in OS 9 help?!

I'm desperate! My mac G4 that I've been running for years with both OS X and OX 9 has been unable to boot in OS 9 and I've tried almost everything form option hold on restarts to shift (exrtensions off) zapping the pram etc. I know others have had this problem. I've researched a lot already. I used the same G4 and the same monitor and hardware and everything for years and this problem suddenly sprang up out of nowhere. I desperately need to get this machine to boot in OS 9 because I'm using Protools with many plugins and cards that are not supported on OS X. When I boot in OS X it acts fine no problem like it always did. When ever I try to boot in OS 9 it hangs on a grey screen and then freezes up before and happy face and or extensions have loaded etc.
One thing, and I don't know how important this may be, is that the first time I encountered this problem was after I had attached a USB hub to my computer which had been sitting unused for some weeks and the Hub somehow made the computer start up when I plugged in the USB cable to the USB Hub?! After that OS 9 has refused to boot period no matter what I do. I can run some apps in the classic environment but cannot boot to OS 9 at all ever.
I read in one forum where a guy did an open firmware reset and got some error messages that had to do with USB. He was having the same problem the grey screen when trying to boot on OS 9.
Does any one have an answer Please I'm almost ready to give up!

Hey me back again month later. Well I have tried everything. I even pulled the hard drive out of my G4 and replaced it with a tested and working hard drive which had only OS9 installed on it. In other words that computer had two choices boot into OS 9 or hang on a grey screen. There was no other system present to boot into, so after chiming and starting the boot process it just hangs on the grey screen again. So I guess what Steve Jobs meant when he said OS 9 is dead is that they killed OS 9 because my machine will not look at any OS 9 system folder regardless of whether OS X exists on the machine or not. I tried to reboot holding down option command P R and after the second chime grey screen again. I've read that OS 9 requires some small folder or bytes to be recognized in order to boot which it is obvious newer versions of OS X purposely and maliciously delete in order to make it inoperable. My protools gear works fine I've rested it on other machines. The only way that I can use it is to be able to boot into OS9. Which has been corrupted by OS X. They say you can format a disc with OS 9 drivers but I see no such option using OS 10.4 tiger so I'm not sure what they are talking about.
So here is my question. Why would a G4 450mghz machine with a working OS 9 hard disc installed with no other system folders available not boot after it chimes and begins the start up process. If it is because running OS 10.4 disables the OS 9 drivers and corrupts the machine so that it can never look at a OS 9 again let's just admit that and say OK Steve was right OS 9 is dead but it did not die of natural causes.

When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen.

When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen. If I am speaking to a person, if they hang up then I am back to the phone application. If I'm leaving a message, I am unable to return to the phone screen to end the call, and have to wait until the other phone hangs up. I'm also unable to switch back and forth to look at my calendar if I'm calling someone about scheduling. This has only started happening since the most recent iOs update. I run into situations similar to this about once per day during the work week, as I use my phone is this manner quite often. While not life altering it is quite frustrating. Can anyone here help me figure out a way to avoid this? If it helps, I have noticed a general downgrade in overall performance starting two system updates ago (apps opening more slowly, closing unexpectedly more often, etc.). I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest OS update.
Thank you for any help or suggestions,
Chris

Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Battery drain with ios6 apps crashing! google maps app is gone. The Apple version is like asking a blind man for directions! Awful. As consumers we are caught up in the squabbles between Apple and Google, and we pay the price.

Does anyone else have battery life problems with the iOS6 update? Some of my other apps crash constantly, bringing my reading or workflow back to the home screen. The new map App is a disaster! Is there an online petition to have Apple bring back the Google map app? It is like asking a blind man for driections! Addresses, postal codes, locations, area codes and phone numbers in the Vancouver BC area are consistently wrong! AUUUUUGGGHHHHHHH!

As someone who spends a lot of time writing reviews (for vidya gaems ;P) I enjoyed your review. I am also looking at getting a new phone soon (I am saving up to buy out on refresh). I was considering th next iPhone but from reading your review I may consider this device instead. What I need to know is this. When the phone is in a phone holder which you have in a car for example does the screen get pressed at the sides? I don't wan't to open up Waze put my phone in a holder and it get cancelled out by what it thinks is a button press. Also, is the screen goign to be scratched easy? I am guessing there is no decent screen guards yet. I did buy some screen protection liquid that was recommended on these forums and my lumia still got scratched by about an inch or so.
