My iPad apps won't open?

My iPad apps won't open help?

I have the same issues. My iPad 1 will not download apps or update apps. They are constantly waiting. I have tried logging out of iTunes, powering down iPad, then restarting and signing back into my apple account ( all through the iPad). I found a post that mentioned updating the apps on your computer via iTunes, then uploading them onto the iPad. However, I can't find the update apps button anywhere on iTunes to do that. So that didn't work. However, updating apps on my iPhone 4s and iTouch 1 still go just fine. Im not sure when this started. I do know that as soon as I downloaded the iOS 5.0. It was like driving my iPad threw molasses. The thing was and still is slow as ****. Which is a whole other can or worms that apple needs to deal with. However, back on topic... My iPad no longer downloads apps, updates apps, and as of right now,will no longer download music that I have purchased through iTunes. The music just sits the and says waiting to download. NEED SOME HELP ON THIS!!!!!

1st Generation iPad apps won't open

Hi all. I got a first generation iPad iOS 5, that downloads apps version 5 or below but cannot run them. Sometimes they open only to unexpectedly quit. Othertimes they won't open at all. And yet other times (as in the case of certain games) they'll load and run for one round and then crash when trying to set up round 2. I've been in touch with iTunes Store Support and they have not been able to help and suggested another department but before i get passed along from this one to that one, I thought i'd check with you knowledgeable people who are so often able to resolve issues that stymie the rest of us. Thanks.

The current version of the Gmail app requires iOS 5 or later.
What version of iOS is on the iPad in question?

One of my iPad apps won't open

One of my apps won't work. I click it and it opens and then closes. The app is Simpsons Tapped Out. Thank you.

Try This First...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

My newly downloaded numbers app won't open on my iPad?

You could try deleting and then re-downloading the app via the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if it then works (re-downloading).
And/or 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.

Email app won't open. I get blank screen and it immediately force closes. I've rebooted the iPad several times. It still works on my iPhone 5s

Hi Darr4425,
That's not good! We definitely want your device to work properly at all times. What email application are you attempting to open? When did the issue start? Do you receive an error message when the application force closes?
Thanks,

App won't open on iPad 1. Open, then close right away

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.

If it is the third party apps that you are having problems with - try downloading another app - any free app will work. See if the apps will open after you try that. Or look here for help.

IPad app won't download

iPad app ,won't download suggestions

Hi IAndrewD,
Several issues have encountered this issue. We've seen it in some of our reviews on the app store and on our support email list ([email protected]). So far, everyone who's contacted us has been able to successfully update after verifying that their network connection was working and restarting the download.
Please try the following:
1) Make sure wifi and/or cellular data are turned on
2) Test to be sure your internet connection is working by opening safari and browsing to a website (like www.adobe.com).
3) Single tap the app’s icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and click “Update” to resume the download.
4) If this doesn't work, go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID to sign-out. Restart the iPad, go back to Settings -> iTunes Apps Store and sign-in. Tap the waiting icon to update the app.
I'd also be happy to work with you on our support email alias or by phone if you email [email protected]
Thank you!
Pat

My Reminder app won't open In ipad mini 2. It worked for a few days but later on it didn't work anymore! tried rebooting and updating it but it still wont open. When I try opening it, it crashes. What do I doooo? Please help me.

Try to force quit the app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

Should I downgrade from iOS 6.1.3 to 6.1.2? Because some apps won't open. It keeps on crashing.

Tap tap, GarageBand, and other apps won't open. Is it about the firmware?

You cannot downgrade the iOS since it is not supported. This support article explains how to trouble shoot 3rd party apps on the iPad.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
If all third party apps will not open, try downloading another app. Any free app will work or any already purchased app that is not currently on the iPad.
If the troubleshooting article doesn help, I would try this. Close all apps and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Some of my apps won't open- when try to open..they just shut down when opening..?

Hi guys... Any tech advice would be welcome... My first time on this forum..
Some of my apps won't open- when I try to open them..it just shuts them down.
It then goes back to the home screen. This is happening on eBay, calander, bbc news. Each day is different one.
Then it seems to be ok, and hey hey... It does it again!
Usually choosing another app?
It also drops out sometimes, if I go from an eBay item link to Safari.
Again back to the home screen....
I have had these problems for about 6 weeks, my iPad is 2 months old..
It's first iPad, and I love it!
but never had any problems before like these on my iPhones..
Thanks

troublshooting:
go to your open apps (double click on the home button). remove all of the apps you have open there.
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.
Follow these steps to reset your device
Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and the steps above do not work.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

if those don't work you may have to restore your ipad and see if that doesn't fix anything
I think your issue is an open tab you have in Safari but it could be a number of things.
If these don't work, I would go to the apple store, tell them you pretty much did everything you could and the issue comes back, then you can deduce what the issue is possible by keeping track of which apps you have open.
