Messages will not open on iOS 7 with iPhone 4

Just upgraded to iOS 7 on an iPhone 4.  Is anyone else unable to open the Messages app.  Tap and the app comes up as if its going to start to load in my coversations, but then after about 5-10 seconds it just closes.

Hello Rich the Badger,
I would be concerned too if Messages was not opening on my iPhone.  I recommend following the steps in this article for an issue like this (steps 1-3 specifically stand out to me for what you described):
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

  • Safari will not open certain web sites with https or http

    safari will not open certain web sites with https or http,any help will be welcome,it must be a security setting,but i have not changed any settings.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Exensions tab.
    If there are any installed, switch the button to off, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If there is more than one extension insalled, uninstall one a time, quit and relaunch Safari and test.

  • The Music app will not open after I upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 6.

    This is a random occurance that started today.  I upgraded the phone when IOS6 came out - and the Music app has been giving me troubles since then (crashing; taking a couple of tries to open; etc.).  However, I have never had this much trouble getting it to open.  I have restarted the phone a number of times.  I have hard-closed the music app.  All to no avail.  It opens for a second, with a blank screen, then closes.

    As I mentioned in my post, I did restart the phone a number of times, and this did not solve the problem.
    Restart ≠ Reset.  Try the Reset.
    Apart from a Reset and closing the app, without your computer, there's not much you can do.  I suspect there's a problem with your music database, which I think can only be solved with access to your computer.

  • Visible sent message will not open

    When I look at my sent mail box for one of my mail accounts. I can find messages from last march. If I click on a particular one mails says "Loading..." and never does anything else. If I click on a message above or below it. Those messages will show up fine. I can see the first two sentences in the preview panel, but the full message never loads.
    Mail account is POP and there are no messages on the server's sent mailbox. Naturally with POP I am only using my computer to access it.
    Know why?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Follow the exact path shown in the screenshot.
    The AppData folder is hidden by default in Windows.
    If you cannot see it, in Windows Explorer click Tools > Folder Options, click the View tab then check the box labelled "Show hidden files, folders and drives"
    You can now see the AppData folder and reach the .xml file to delete it.
    Next time you launch Dreamweaver, it will recreate the .xml file automatically.

    MacOS X does not panic in this fashion in the IOAudio drivers.
    But you are not running Mac OS X kernel, you have added these items to it, one of which identifies itself as "for Snow leopard":
    com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard          5.8
    com.motu.driver.PCIAudio          1.6 53876
    Pace app is often forced upon you by vendors who do not trust you not to steal their software. You should contact them (and chew up their support time) to figure out how to get out from under that garbage.
    also, the report indicates that your DIMMs are not installed in the optimum slots. Largest should go in the lowest numbers slots on each side. But this will not cause a panic, just a miniscule slowdown.

  • Itunes does not open menu on connection with Iphone 5 windows 8

    Upon connecting my iphone to my windows 8.1 (64bit) computer, Itunes does not open the Iphone interface.  How can I sync or back-up the iphone.
    Itunes recognizes the Iphone on the main menu but the menu for the Iphone does not come up.  This is IOS 7.0.4.
    Mpls

    Have you tried clicking on the phone in the device section. It may not automatically select the iPhone. From iTunes, you can select the phone. The menu looks a little different in the newer versions of iTunes. Control + B will bring up the menu bar, Control + S will bring up the sidebar for you to select the phone.

  • IPhoto will not open - says: Library created with unreleased version

    I can't even open the app. due to a message that reads "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto. Please quit and update this photo library by opening it in iPhoto 2 or iPhoto 4." I haven't done anything to the library recently. I did install Photoshop Elements and upgrade to OS 10.5 within the last few days. I got the same message in iPhoto before the upgrade to OS 10.5 however. Can anyone help me get my iPhoto open?

    Olla:
    Give Terence's suggestion a try. You'll end up with a new library and your old one for further attempts at fixing.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • When forwarding email with Firefox (default browser)the pictures in the email (not attachments) will not open , only shows boxes with a red x on top at the receiver, but when sending with IE, the pictures open, this happens only recently since a week ago.

    I forward a message with pictures in it with Firefox, the receiver can not see any pictures, only boxes with a red x, but can read the message.
    But when I forward the same message with pictures with IE,
    the receiver can see the pictures and read the message too.

    When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.

  • Firefox 3.6.10 will not open Snapfish which runs with Firefox 3.6.9 so how do I get it to work.

    Every time I open Firefox, it insists on upgrading itself to 3.6.10. Yesterday, I gave in and let it upgrade. To get my photo storage site to work, I had to "restore" my system before the download. Now it is still there wanting to upgrade itself, and I want to use Snapfish.
    I admit that HP's Snapfish is always behind the times, but Snapfish remains an easy to use site. And too, I prefer to use Firefox than Explorer which works with Snapfish.

    Looks that you need to open an iMacros sidebar.

  • Dreamweaver error message will not open (CS5)

    I know this exact question has been asked before, but i still really do not understand.  I understand that an XML file needs to be deleted, but I don't know how to get to that XML file or even how to get to the file path that it refers to.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but nothing worked.
         the bottom picture is what I get after saying ok. Very confused. :/

    Follow the exact path shown in the screenshot.
    The AppData folder is hidden by default in Windows.
    If you cannot see it, in Windows Explorer click Tools > Folder Options, click the View tab then check the box labelled "Show hidden files, folders and drives"
    You can now see the AppData folder and reach the .xml file to delete it.
    Next time you launch Dreamweaver, it will recreate the .xml file automatically.
