My iPhone Apps won't open.  They just "blink" when I click on them.  Why?

What can I do to correct this?  Thanks for the help! 

I tried turning it off & on twice and that didn't work, but your suggestion to upload another app did it!   Thanks VERY much!  You just saved me a trip to the Apple store and a wasted hour!  Thanks!

    I updated my ipad 2 to ios5 and now apps won't open they just blink. What should i do?

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

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

    My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

    Try:
    Reset the iOS device (no data will be lost). Press and hold the Home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. See if the problem persists after the device reboots (it might take a while).
    Download any free app, and then see if any of the other apps, after being re-downloaded, will open.
    Good luck!

  • After recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    fter recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database  so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
    You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
    I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

  • My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected?  To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop.  I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish

    My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected?  To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop.  I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

  • Linked PDFs in Muse don't seem to open or automatically download when I click on them in Firefox.

    Linked PDFs in Muse don't seem to open or automatically download when I click on them in Firefox. Am I doing something wrong? Seems to work okay in Safari. This is for a Muse site uploaded to an FTP site.

    PDFs are not web files.  Technically they're media files that require helper applications.  As such, your end users need the latest Acrobat reader & plug-ins installed for their browsers.  If either of these are not installed, the PDF links won't "do" anything when clicked. Similarly, some people set their preferences to download & launch PDF files in Acrobat Pro instead of their browser. 
    Since there's no way to tell which software & settings your end users have, you should follow the customary procedure of creating a small thumbnail image of the PDF to give users a visual clue of what the file contains along with a direct link to the PDF & instructions on how to right click to save the file to their hard drive.

  • The apps on my iPhone 6 are grayed out and say "Waiting-" when i click on them.

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 6. I backed up all my apps from my old iPhone 4 to my iTunes on my computer (MacBookPro). I then plugged in the new iPhone 6 and did a restore using the files from my old iPhone.
    Everything transferred over perfectly but now, about half the apps I purchased on my old phone are grayed out. When I click on them they say "Waiting…" but nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    I am having the same problem. I have many dark icons that say waiting. I can't do anything with them. I can't even delete them because they do not get the little x on the upper right corner like the light apps get. I do not know what to do. If I call Apple they will charge me for support as my phone is over a year old.

  • Just updated iphone4 to ios5, now apps won't open, they blink once but won't run

    After updating to ios5 on my iphone4 I cannot open apps, for instance, facebook, twitter, pandora, etc., when I touch them to open they blink once and the screen returns to normal. Safari and the like operate. ???

    So i guess what's not working is the notification center. I swiped it and saw it but it's not showing the phone call or email that just came in. just the weather update! On my friend's phone who had upgraded she had a little bar across the top that was always there with current notifications. Mine doesn't do that. Any suggestions?

  • Iphone apps won't open!

    My iphone apps are not working after a recent update. The apps show up on phone but when I try to open the app the screen goes black and returns to the main screen. help!!

    This fixed it:
    I FIGURED IT OUT !
    There's something going on with the latest version of iTunee.
    This affects people with old and new version of firmware for iPhone 3G.
    What happens... All your apps stop working because they are no longer authorized for use, after a syncing with iTunes.
    The fix... Before doing a sync with iPhone, deselect all the applications. Sync (in effect, you're removing all applications from your iPhone). In iTunes, click Store / Authorize Computer, and enter your password. Don't worry, you won't use up any of your 5 alloted activations. Go back to applications and reselect all your applications. Sync. You're done and EVERYTHING WORKS !
    I figured this out when i tried the delete / restore technique mentioned before. iTunes gave me a message saying my computer was not authorized to restore the applications. Huh? So in fact it's iTunes causing the headaches.

  • Whatsapp and instagram won't open - they just crash help please!

    hi, i have an iphone 4s. yesterday my instagram app wouldn't open, it would just crash. then today the same thing is happening to whatsapp!! what does this mean and how can i overcome this??? thank you!!!

    This is not a standard problem with Safari/Firefox on the Mac that I can see. For example, when I go to http://www.boursedata.com.au/solutions/default.asp it loads the page normally (note: I have a historical association to that company... I have used it because I know it uses asp!).
    What does it do for you?

  • Facebook app won't open, it just goes to the blue page then closes again

    I click to open the Facebook app and it opens to the initial blue Facebook page, but then it just closes again. It does this every time I try to open it an I've tried turning off then restarting my iPod.

    Additionally, the settings app fails whenever I try to view usage information, and the voicemail no longer functions as before.  It now prompts for a password because it is dialing out to Verizon which it never did before.  Any feedback on these issues will be appreciated as well.

  • Dock problem: Apps won't open, they bounce once and don't open.

    hi,
    my ex-girlfriend has had problems with opening up some of her programs (Mail, Safari, iChat, iTunes, Msn-Messenger, Skype) on the dock. They bounce on the dock once and then don't open at all. She said that it just happened after a recent update (17/9/08).
    I've been trying Disk Utility and this comes up with:
    +_First Aid Failed_.+
    +Disk Utility stopped verifying 'Macintosh HD' because the following error was encountered:+
    +The underlying task reported failure on exit+
    Underneath it says: 1 HFS volume checked, Volume needs repair.
    I have also used Disk Warrior and that also came up with the same error that this person got (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1459800&tstart=4).
    I've even tried using fsck but that wasn't successful. I think I might need to work from disk utility from the start-up disks but was wodnering would I ahve to first back-up all the stuff that she has on her laptop at the moment???

    I compiled what I could find on the application bouncing once problem.
    I made it for Safari but much of it may apply to other Applications.
    - Create a new user account on your machine.
    - Log in under that new user account.
    - Try to launch Safari.
    If Safari launches under the new user account,
    Then it's likely a preference file or some Safari add-on (e.g. "Application Enhancers" PithHelmet or Saft) running under the original account that's preventing it from launching. Remove them, if possible and clear the cache.
    If Safari does not start under the new user account the same way it doesn't under your original account,
    Deletion and reinstallation will be needed:
    1) Back up your bookmarks to a safe location. Your Safari bookmarks are in Your Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist. Copy the Bookmarks.plish file to a flash drive, or somewhere safe.
    2) Download Safari from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ and save it where you saved your bookmarks backup.
    3) Download an application deletion software, such as AppCleaner or AppZapper. A simple Google search will provide you with download locations.
    4) Once you have installed the application deletion software, run it to delete Safari. The application should find and delete all files related to your Safari install. This is why it is important to save your safari download package and your bookmarks backup to a flash drive off of your system. If you did not do this, make sure to uncheck these files from the deletion list.
    5) Restart your computer and install Safari once again. Once you have installed it, you should copy your bookmarks file to the new Safari's location. It will be located at "Your Home/Library/Safari/". If their is already a Bookmarks.plist in the Safari folder, then replace it with the backup.
    If deletion and reinstallation doesn't help,
    Perform networking diagnostics.
