My apps no longer open.

All my apps no longer work. When I touch the icon, the screen temporarily goes to black and then the original screen returns. No app. Help?

If these are your third party apps that will not open, try downloading another app - any free app will do.
Or try this ......
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.

TS2755 After competing the latest software update to my iphone4 messages app no longer opens any pics. Is there a solution to this problem?

Is there any solution to the problem with the messages app on my iphone4 no longer opening pics after completing the latest iphone software update?

Go to iTunes menu, EDIT/PREFERENCES/DEVICES tab, do you see any Backup files with Date and Time? These are the backup file you have everytime you sync your device to your iTunes.
Now close the dialogue box, connect your device to your computer. In iTunes left Pane, your iPhone will appear under "Devices". Right mouse click yout iPhone and select Restore from backup, select the backup from Date and Time you can remember that has all the contacts and notes and proceed from there.

App Store bought apps no longer open

I own an iMac and recently bought a macbook.
the Mac App Store has been working fine on the iMac, but when I opened the MAS on my macbook, suddenly any apps bought on my iMac won't open on the iMac?
I bought Pages, Numbers and iPhoto, and all are used predominantly on the iMac but now they run on the macbook, but not the iMac. Both machines are authorized, but no luck.

On the iMac, install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then from your Apple menu click Restart.
Launch the App Store, try the apps.

MS Office and some other 3rd-party apps no longer open

Whenever I try to open any MS Office applications, the icon just bounces briefly in the dock then disappears. It's Office v. X, carried over from my old iBook. It worked fine on my new iMac for a few months, I think until New Year's Eve when I installed Security Update 2007-009.
Since then I've tried uninstalling (or rather deleting, since the included uninstaller also fails to run) and reinstalling from the DVD, verifying the HD in Disk Utility, installing the combined update from download, and moving or trashing the com.Microsoft.Word.plist and so on in my Preferences folder, but the problem remains.
The computer came with an Office 2004 "Test Drive" which also fails to run, and it's also affected a few other 3rd-party applications, but by no means all of them. For instance, Microsoft Messenger runs fine.
I was waiting for the next security update (2008-001) to see if that fixed it, but no dice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Like I said, Office X worked fine on the intel for the first couple of months. And the Office 2004 taster which came installed (and so should work regardless) was affected in exactly the same way, so it's not a compatibility problem. Also, repairing permissions is what I meant by 'verifying the HD in Disc Utility'.

The iTunes app is no longer opening on my iPhone. I never had this problem before and how do i go about fixing it?

The iTunes app no longer opens on my iPhone4S. How can I fix it?

Does iTunes freeze up when your iPhone is not connected?
What type of computer?
What OS?
Which port are you connecting to?
What other USB devices are on this computer?
Have you made any recent changes on your computer system.

Double Click no longer opens apps

Since updating to Mavericks, double clicking apps no longer opens them. I have to use ommand + O. Anyone else having this issue or suggestions on how to fix it?

Thanks for your response, macjack. I did check my settings yesterday and all seem to be set correctly. After reading an article on the subject, I also rebooted my Mac in Safe Mode and tried launching an app from the finder with my bluetooth track pad. It will not work either. The article suggested that if this were the case, it could be a software issue.
In fact, all the one- and two-fingered click and point features are sticky. I have to highlight a word (by dragging across it) and then two-finger click to look up spelling options, Three-fingerd click to look up dictionary definitions is working fine. Ah, Mavericks.
And thank you for the permissions info. I looked at the log and, yes, it said the repair was completed. Very helpful.

After i synch many apps don't open

After I synch with iTunes many of my iPad apps no longer open. My laptop's iTunes has multiple login IDs, but these apps I have downloaded myself. I select the manual synch, but then don't really have the opportunity to make any manual selections.

If the apps aren't opening or are crashing on the iPad, then 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.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see 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.
In terms of syncing what shows on the iPad's Apps tab on your computer's iTunes - are the apps greyed out so that you can't tick them, or is it that nothing happens when you try to sync them ?

i was using an app while the battery ran over, then when i recharged my ipod, i can no longer open that app anymore. Why?

No idea why.
What have you tried to solve?
Have you tried the basics from the manual?
restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried removing the app, tehn adding it back?

I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
Please help.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

The application called VirusScan that comes preloaded on the macbook will no longer open, claiming that it is corrupt and that I must reinstall it. After looking in the app store it does not appear that said application is available for re-downloading.

The application called VirusScan that comes preloaded on the macbook will no longer open, claiming that it is corrupt and that I must reinstall it. After looking in the app store it does not appear that said application is available for re-downloading. Is there a special, non-app store place where I am to go for this?
Also, I installed MacKeeper about two-three months ago and am questioning its performance. Looking for input as to whether or not this application helps or hinders my system.

I'll back up Csound on the MacKeeper thing. In fact, I actually wrote the following about it:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=245
Remove is ASAP. Do not use the provided uninstalled, as there are widespread reports of pop-ups advertising MacKeeper on your system after incompletely removing it. Try this:

As for VirusScan, Barney is right on the money that it does not come preinstalled on any Mac shipped new from Apple. However you have gotten it, your best bet is removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information that will help you understand and avoid Mac malware without relying on anti-virus software.

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents. Refer to figure below.
iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup. (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.) You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad. This time, say "yes."
Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

I can no longer open excel documents in my doc to go app. Error message simple reads can not open attachment. And the attachment is now a winmail.dat

I can no longer open excel documents in my doc to go app. Error message simple reads can not open attachment. And the attachment is now a winmail.dat

winmail.dat files usually mean the email has been sent in rich text format - you could either the person who sent it to send it in a different format e.g. plain text or HTML, or there are a few apps in the store that support it (search for winmail.date in the store).

If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
