My iPhone 4 won't run any apps.

When I click on an app it immediately goes back to the homescreen. The only apps that work are the ones that came on the phone. Is there something I need to fix?

My iphone won't download any apps i dont know what to do

My phone won't download any apps anymore. I don't know what to do.

Make sure you don't have any paused installs or downloads in other apps, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Unlocked Iphone will not run any apps anymore

Yesterday Apple unlocked my Iphone.
Since this time no app will run any more.
Please Help
I already tried a reset/restore via iTunes
I tried deleting a app from both iTunes and Iphone and the downloading it again.

Ah, missed that you are on a mac.
Try this:
Launch disk utility, select your hard drive and select "repair permissions". When finished, reboot your computer, launch isync, select reset sync history. Launch itunes, connect your phone, sync. When finished, disconnect your phone & see it this fixes the problem.

I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the Safari upgrade, now my iphone won;'t open any apps except the ones loaded on my phone when I got it.

I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the safari update. Now I can't open any apps except the ones that came with the phone. I have tried rebooting, turning it off and on.
When I select the icon, it goes to the page then returns to my screensaver.
It was working well before the update and sync with my Acer netbook. Have never had any problems with itunes store or downloads.

this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
"The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
Hope this helps

How can I fix my iPod if it won't load any app?

My iPod won't load any apps and if it does I will get kicked out of the app within 20 seconds. I've read that I should just try restarting it by holding the home and power button until it shuts off, but my power button is stuck. The other thing I've read is to just download another app but it kicks me out of the App Store and iTunes or it won't load them. Could someone please help. I don't want to have to reset it. Thanks.

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My sleep/wake button doesn't work on my iPhone 4 is there any apps I can download to make it sleep

My sleep/wake button doesn't work on my iPhone 4 is there any apps I can download to make it sleep

There isn't anything you can do about that except to get the sleep/wake button fixed. It is an integral part of the phone and is used for troubleshooting steps as well. Using a device without one is just waiting for trouble. However, if you want to, you can go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch. Then to lock the phone, tap on the Assistive touch button, tap on Device, then tap on Lock screen.

Did you connect it to your computer?
Does it show up in iTunes?

Many apps won't run any longer on yosemite

All of a sudden on my iMac with Yosemite, many apps won't run, Word, PhotoShop Elements, TrueCrypt .... most are not
64 bit, but what happened with update it the last week that would cause this

If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod.

Applescript won't run as .app but runs fine in AppleScript Editor

I'm an experienced web developer.. but total applescript noob. so forgive me if this is a silly question.
I'm calling my script it from Flash via fscommand to launch a PDF using finder, rather than a browser.
The script works great from AppleScript Editor when i hit run but when saved as a .app it doesn't run.
any ideas?
Here's the code:
property fileName : "my.pdf"
set myPath to (path to me as string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
set the parentFolder to ¬
((text items 1 thru -2 of myPath) & "") as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
try
set targetFile to alias (the parentFolder & fileName)
on error
return quit
end try
tell application "Finder"
open file targetFile
end tell

A script application is actually an application bundle - a bundle is a kind of folder that gets treated like a single item (in this case, an application). Getting path to me results in a path that ends with a colon (since it is a folder), so when you try to use text item delimiters to get the container you are actually just stripping off the trailing colon, so the path built for your file won't point to the correct location.
As previously posted, the Finder can get the container, so you can just do everything in a tell application "Finder" statement:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
property fileName : "my.pdf"
set myPath to (path to me)
tell application "Finder"
set the parentFolder to container of myPath
try
open file ((parentFolder as text) & fileName)
end try
end tell
</pre>

My phone is so slow won't download any apps and data is not working correctly

I have the moto e with straight talk

Hi
This is not a Firefox thing, but there are some general housekeeping activities you can do to make your telephone run much easier.
First of all, uninstall any apps and widgets you do not need. It is amazing how they can clutter up your phone! In the app drawer, long press on an app or widget and drag it to the uninstall option at the top of the screen.
So you have a sizeable SD card in your phone? If so, in Settings app , scroll down to Storage and tap "Move media". As it says on the menu, this will move your media files to your memory card, thus freeing up space on your phone.
Before you leave Storage, scroll up a little and tap on "Cached Data" and selected to clear the cached data.
In Settings>Apps, scroll across to "On SD Card" and tick a few boxes to move some of your apps to your memory card. (Note: With some apps, this may mean that any accompanying widgets will not work, this is a bug with Android).
Once finished, turn off your phone and turn it back on again and you should find your phone has quite a bit more space and is running a bit quicker.

My iPad Air won't download any apps or app updates.

Okay, so my iPad Air has not been downloading any apps, when I tap update it brings the download icon up but does nothing. I stop it then start it again and the loading icon just spins constantly. It's sorta the same thing when I download an app or anything else. my wifi is fine and I can connect to the internet with safari or any of my apps, I even tried it from a friends network and it did the same thing.
A List of things I have tried:
1. Turn off/on IPad
2. Reset iPad, (holding lock and home for 15 seconds)
3. Reset network settings
4. Reset all settings
5. updated iPad to iOS 8.1.2
6. signed out of iTunes threw settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple id> sign out, then restarted the iPad and signed back in
7. Downloading things from a different and working wifi connection
none of that has fixed it, I seriously do not want to back up and restore if at all possible because 1 it's such a hassle and 2 I have such bad luck with backups, last time I did a backup and restored from it I lost the app data for 5 of my apps 3 of them being games I loved playing (infinity blade 3, gangster vegas, modern combat 4) because no matter what I did or how many times I restored from the backup those apps would not sync over to the iPad. I had read something that I should check the Downloads tab in the ITunes store to make sure there were no downloads stuck preventing other things from downloading, but recently I noticed the download tab is no longer an option on my bar in iTunes and no icon for it in edit. same with my iPhone 6. (why would Apple remove something like that?) I searched every inch of the iTunes store and even in view your apple ID i can't find the download queue anywhere.
Am I overlooking the download queue? Did they remove it from iOS 8? Anything else I can try besides restoring? X.x this has been going on for to long now and I just got a Jot Touch for my iPad and wanted to download some apps i could use it with but I can't because of this, I'm also missing out on holiday stuff and new games :/ If anyone can help me with this I would love you forever.

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

"An unknown error has occurred" iphone 4 when downloading any app from app store

Every time I try to download any app (paid or free) from the appstore from my Iphone 4 I get this same error. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried updating my credit card info, as well as changing my apple ID password - neither had any effect. This is the first time I've tried to download an app after installing the latest iOS though. Anyone else having this same issue? or know of other things to try? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much.
I renewed my credit card details at Apple and it caused the error message.
It was easy to understand what happened/ what to do by reading your message.
I hope that Apple make the message more friendly.
Appreciated

Iphone won't connect to app store

Iphone 5 won't connect to app store if i want to download/update an app unless i set a wrong date (1 month in the future). As soon as I set back to automatic date/time it won't work again... so now always if I want to download an app i will have to manually set a wrong date.. There must be something wrong with the apple network or whatever, my connection is working fine...
Thanks for your help

Apple appears to be having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to fix it.

MSI GE70 won't run any discs

I'm new to this forum and hopefully I've posted this in the right section.
My MSI Ge70 suddenly won't read any discs. First I tried a game and then several DVDs
I'm not all that good with computers, but I did make the PC search the net and see if it run with the latest driver (which it said it did).
I also deactivated and then reactivated the DVD-ROM drive.
This happened from one day to the next and I really don't have any ideas except for the lens being damaged or something,
Appreaciate any help

Well, if the drive itself is still recognized and just suddenly can't read discs it is most likely faulty. Try restorig default Windows to ensure there is no malware on your pc preventing the drive to read.
