My apps don't open after updating

HELP!! I updated my ipad before i slept and this morning, apps such as keynote, QuickOffice, and Wallpaper don't open. They appear for a split second after i tap on the icon and the screen returns to the menu of apps again. I can see them in the bottom toolbar, though... so does that mean that they're open but have some sort of malfunction?? HELP!!

thanks! I got really ticked off and went to the nearest Mac shop and here's what we did: 1. made sure that my store account in my laptop was the same one that i'm using with the ipad. 2. tried to sync (but this failed). 3. downloaded some of the apps to the LAPTOP. 4. did a sync... AND IT WORKED!!!
Thanks for the help, guys!

Hi everyone, I've had problems with some apps on my iPad. The apps don't open after update

How do I fix apps that don't open after update?

Try a hard reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider). Are you still using iOS 4.3.3, as in your profile? A lot of apps now need an iOS of 6 or higher for the update to download.

Apps don't disappear after updating

My updated apps don't disappear after updating concludes on my iPad. I noticed that this only started happening after installation of iOS7.

Hi Aleagle,
Just so you know, the reason this was changed for iOS 7 was in conjunction with the Automatic Update feature that was also introduced with iOS 7. If updates to apps are being done automatically, then you would have no way to know what apps were updated or when. This new list in the Updates tab was added to provide the update history information.
Cheers,

How come my apps won't open after updating to ios5

how come my apps won't open after updating to ios5?

Thanks for the feedback. This is a custom enterprise application. So there is not an update yet. It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable. So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.

Safari don't open after update

Hi everyone .
Simple problem :
Safari won't open after updating it to 5.1.7 via software update
I am on OSX 10.6.8
It feels really odd to get this kind of issue after an update
This has happened before , the last version of Safari that worked on my system was Safari 5.03 .
Any ideas someone ?

Apps doesn't open after update to ios 5

Please help. After updating to iOS5, my ipad 2 will not launch any apps other than the Apple's orginal apps such as iMessage, iCalendar, mail.. etc. What should I do? Thanks.

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
Otherwise have you tried closing all apps completely and then seeing if they work 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.
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.

My apps will not open after updating to ios 5

My Iphone 4 will not open apps after updating to ios5.

If you search on google this is an old problem that many people have after upgrading devices and restoring from backups. If I can remember correctly, just re-sync the device in iTunes, and it should sort it out.

App will not open after update from market.

I have an android app that when I publish an update and the user downloads the update the app will not open. It opens for a second and then closes.
This happens even if I do not change anything in the update.
The only thing I can find is that after downloading the update I clear the cache and it works fine. My question is does anyone know why this might happen. Also is there a way to clear the cache at time of update.

ok i created a hello world app to try a nail down this issue.
i created the app with version 1.0.0
uploaded it to my server on the net.
hit the web address from my phone, downloaded and installed
then changed the version number to 1.0.1
uploaded this apk
downloaded and installed to phone
app would then open for sec then close
only fixable by clearing application cache.
I can't believe the answer to this problem is not available by googling it.
has no one else encountered this?
please help, i am scared to release any updates to my programs - massive influx of email from mad users who can not open there apps.

Facebook app won't open after update

I have an iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1 and after I did an update to my Facebook app thru the app store it wont open anymore. When I tap the Facebook app it looks like its going to open but after a couple of seconds it goes back to my home screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it numerous times, did a reboot several times, deleted it from the bottom tray after double clicking the home key (circle button) and even tried tried installing several new apps but NOTHING works. Please help!

My facebook app is doing the exact same thing. I installed all of the updates from the app store notifications last night. Afterward, the facebook app will start to open and then close. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and also rebooted the phone. Nothing is helping. Any other suggestions?

Apps don't work after update.

Anybody else have this problem? I have first gen iPad and none of my apps will open.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Don't give up so easily. You can try all of this really basic stuff before you call Apple. It may not work, but I will not charge you $29.00 for the support call either!
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.
Rey qutting all of the apps in the task bar if there are apps in there. 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.
Also try syncing with iTunes again - the old way - connect your iPad to your computer - give that a try.

Non-Apple apps don't open after iOS5 upgrade (with fix)

Hi, I thought I'd add this thread in case it's useful to someone else with the same problem.
I had a iPhone 4 on latest 4.3.5 and upgraded via iTunes to iOS5 this morning.
None of my non-Apple apps would open, they'd just open and close instantly. So Facebook, Tweetdeck, Things, BBC News etc wouldn't work but ones like Reminders, App Store etc would.
I did a restore and restore from a backup and this didn't fix the problem.
I removed the apps from memory (home double-click) and rebooted the phone and still the non-Apple apps wouldn't load.
So finally I thought I'd reinstall the apps from scratch, deleted Facebook and grabbed it again from the App Store.
This worked and fired up as normal, tried the others non-Apple apps and they all work too!
No idea why, not sure if it's specifically the Facebook app or if I could have done that too any of them.
All sorted now and iOS5 is lovely

Confirmed!
I had the same problem, deleted a weather app (so no valuable data attached to it) re-installed it and all the other apps seem to work again.
Which single app you delete & reload doesn't seem to matter, I think you just need to re-establish the connection between the device and your App Store account in order to trigger some kind of background authorization.
It might also work by deleting nothing and just grabbing a new, free app.

Photo storing app won't open after update.

This is kind of embarrassing. I downloaded the app Private Photo Vault on my jailbroken iOS 7.1.2 iPhone 4. I used this app to lock away some inappropriate pictures I didn't need other people seeing in my library. It had worked perfect until the update yesterday. Now I can't open it. When i try to open it, all I see is the app's background. When I double home button, the app screen looks like the screen where I would normally type in the passcode, but I pressed it, and it went to the screen described earlier. I would really like to get the media I have stored in there back. I'm not sure if I want to back it up on itunes because of the inappropriate photos. I already tried to hold the home and power button for 10 seconds to reset it. When it came back on, it was still the same. I also then got photo vault pro to see if it would maybe want to move all the photos to that app since they are pretty much the same, but I can't open that one either.

My facebook app is doing the exact same thing. I installed all of the updates from the app store notifications last night. Afterward, the facebook app will start to open and then close. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and also rebooted the phone. Nothing is helping. Any other suggestions?
