My apps won't respond.  I touch them and it tries to initiate and it goes back to the home page.  How do I fix this?

I just got an Ipod touch for Christmas and I can't get the apps to work.  I touch an app and it tries to initiate, but then if goes back to the home screen.  How can I fix this?

Try:
- Resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Download/install a new app
- iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store

    Hello Cacisme,
    Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod? T o do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If the problem still persists, try restoring your iPod from backup via iTunes.  See this article for more assistance.

  • When I open an app it immediately closes back to the homescreen.  How do I fix this?

    I just updated to the new firmware on my 3gs, but now when I open an privately developed app, it immediately closes and goes back to the homescreen.  Any idea on how to fix it?

    There is no "quick fix" for all.  It depends on what's causing the crash.
    Delete and install the app again
    Reboot iPhone
    If there is a conflict with a running service or app, then that could be causing it, as well as memory usage.
    It could also just be crap coding by the developer.

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):

It''s really frustrating I have tried for more than 4H, and the problem is not about the apple ID. I can download apps with the apple ID, which means IMessage is the problem!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Apps Stopped Working and go back to the home page

    Today suddenly my apps stopped working. When i would press them it would come up for a few secs and then go back to the home page. So i deleted all my apps on my ipod and figured i can dl again from my itunes. When i tried syncing the apps i got the msg: Some apps(all of them) were not synced because this computer is not authorized blah blah. I can Sync my songs/photos/vids fine. Can anyone help?

    From the message you need to authorize the computer for the account that purchased the apps.  See:
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    ALso make sure the iPod is also sign into that account.
    You can also redownload the apps directly to the iPod if you have iOS 4.3 or later,  see:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

    My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

    Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

  • HT3529 i cannot open my messages app due to a ridiculously long text i sent, it goes to a white screen then just goes back to the home screen, what can i do ?

    i cannot open my messages app due to a ridiculously long text i sent, it goes to a white screen then just goes back to the home screen, what can i do ?

    OK, just remembered that someone had posted a solution for this "login loop" issue.
    If you follow the directions here and be sure to enter all of this EXACTLY as it appears here, you may be able to solve this problem.
    You will first need to boot into single user mode, which will bring you to a scary looking text only screen. Don't be frightened.
    To do this, startup holding the Cmd-S keys together. At the entry which shows root# enter the following exactly. Write it down now, since you won't be able to copy/paste. Pay attention to case and spaces. Everything is lower case. The only spaces are between /sbin/mount and -uw, between -uw and / and between rm and /var/audit/current
    Type in
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    Hit return and then at the next root# prompt, type in
    rm /var/audit/current
    Then hit return and at the next root# prompt type in "reboot" no quotes. Don't type in anything new until you get the root# prompt after entering each command.
    If after entering rm /var/audit/current, you get a message back saying "no such file," then just type in "reboot" at the prompt.
