In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

Upgaded itunes now itunes store won't open

I upgraded my itunes and now when I go to open the itunes store it says network connection refused. I never had this problem until I upgraded to 7.5. What can I do?

If you check these boards, there have been a lot of people having trouble with 7.5.
I wasn't able to connect to the iTunes store for about four days. One suggestion, which seems to have worked for several people, has been to uninstall the QuickTime update and re-install the old version. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime72forwindows.html
This didn't do it for me. I had to go to FileHippo, and download iTunes 7.4.3. I re-installed that, and the old version worked on the SECOND try. First attempt produced the same error message, but closing and re-starting iTunes seemed to fix it.
If those dont work for you, your best bet is to check the discussions from time to time. Maybe one of the other solutions posted here will do the trick for your system.

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.

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.
You can find the full article here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

Updated to iOS 8, now Facebook app won't open

I have an iPhone 5c. After doing the update, my Facebook app won't stay open. What to do?

Hello there FAB54evr,
It sounds like your iPad is constantly losing connection to your cellular data service. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article named:
Get help with the cellular data connection on your iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Model)
Tap Settings and make sure that Cellular Data is turned on. Turn Cellular Data off, then back on again.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center. Tap the airplane icon to turn airplane mode on. Wait three seconds, then turn it off.
Restart your iPad.
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad with the latest version of iOS.
Remove the SIM card, then insert it again.
If your SIM card uses a SIM PIN, tap Settings > Cellular Data and turn SIM PIN off.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you have another SIM card with a valid cellular data account, remove the SIM card from your iPad and insert the other SIM card. If the cellular data connection works with the other SIM card, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Try another location. If the cellular data connection works in another area but not in the first location you tried, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Restore your iPad as new.
If you still can't connect to or use a cellular data network, contact your carrier, make a reservation at a Genius Bar, or contact AppleCare for more help.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Mail app won't open or quit.... help!!!

My mail app wont open or quit. I have tried to look at the utilitys message but i have no clue at what i'm looking at. please help me!!!

Well if it is open, you can force quit mail, press the keys OPTION+COMMAND+ESC
select Mail from the menu and click force quit.
Quit all applications, (use the same step to force quit if necessary) logout, and shut off. Try starting in safe mode, power up and hold the shift key (note that this will take longer than normal, be patient) continue to hold shift till you see the progres BAR, the release and allow to finish booting. (In the login pane it should say safe mode in red font) Login and then check if it works.
Log out,shut down and try restarting normally. (note this will take longer as well)
Try again.
If you are having these issues still try a OSX reinstall:

Do a back up first!

Ipad 1 upgrade to ios5 now video app won't open at all

I upgraded to ios5. Took forever but loaded up. I went to open up video app which had an itunes bought TV series on it. The white whirring wheel comes up then the screen goes completely blank. When I sync my videos - some itunes bought, some of my own projects - appear to sync but you can't even open the app on the ipad.
The programmes are still in itunes so I've tried restoring, restarting, resynching. Absolutely nothing works.
Does anyone know what's going on? This is very frustrating as I mainly use the ipad to demonstrate video work.

For starters, try quitting the videos App and then restart.
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.
If the videos are all in your iTunes library on your computer you could also try removing them all from the iPad and sync them back one at at time and see if you can find the one that is causing the problem. However - this is based on the assumption that one of the videos is causing the problem.
There may have been an error when the TV series was downloaded and that might be causing a problem as well. If you are in the U.S., I suppose that you could delete the series and download it again in the purchased tab of iTunes - if you wanted to try that.
I would try deleting them from the iPad and add them back one at a time first.

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.

I just got a new Ipod and had to update my Itunes to a newer version to use it. But now Itunes app will not open on my computer. What do I do?

I just got a new Ipod and had to update my itunes. Now my itunes will not open. I have a MacBook 4,1 with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Should take but a minute & the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box.
If you're gonna use the phone on the same computer your son uses, read through this:
