My iTunes app won't open

When I tap on my app icon it only flashes open for a second and closed!!

I just found this answer posted back in September. Not sure why this glitch hasn't been fixed:
Try this fix as it worked for us... It must be a hidden glitch : open the music app and click "store" in the upper left hand corner. It opens the store and corrects the glitch. After that, the store app will function properly again.

ITunes app won't open with the new iOS7 update...what do I do?

Tried opening itunes app, it comes up for a second then closes, not sure what to do...

Hello Gigi,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes app after upgrading to iOS 7.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
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.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

ITunes app won't open on ipad

When trying to open the iTunes app on my ipad, it quickly closes.
There are a couple of my other apps that are doing the same thing. The Pitfall and Jetpack app that my son plays also closes during the middle of it loading.
How do I fix this?

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.

My iTunes app won't open on my iPhone 5S.

When I click on it, it immediately shuts down. I've turned off the phone and back on. I've also synced with iTunes on my computer. Not sue what else to try.

My IPod apps won't open. So I looked it up, and it said to sync the apps to itunes, i tried this, but when i try to sync, the apps won't show up on Itunes. It keeps saying "0 apps". What do i do?

Ever since yesterday, my Ipod apps won't open properly. I googled it, and couldn't find anything accurate. So i deleted all of the apps, and re-downloaded them. Now they're doing it again. When i tap on it, it looks like it wants to open, but then it goes back to the main menu. I googled it again, and got an answer saying to go to Itunes, uncheck the "sync apps" box, and sync. Then after that, recheck the box, and sync again. Many people said this worked, but it didn't for me. Also whenI go to sync my apps, they don't show up in Itunes. How do I get them to show up in Itunes?

I had the same issue. After searching around online I found out that you can try downloading another app (it can be any app) onto your ipod. After it finishes downloading see if your other apps open. You don't even have to keep the new app. Just see if your other ones work and you can delete the new one. That should work. If not, try to hard reset it. Here is another apple support link for steps on hard reseting it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430).

Store button on music app won't open? Any suggestions?

Store button on music app won't open? Any suggestions?

This is what I did:
1a. Podcasts app deleted from the iPhone. Doesn't show on any of the home screens on the iPhone. The button next to the Podcasts app in iTunes says "Install". Synching the iPhone with iTunes generates the message "The Podcasts app is not installed on 'Maggie's iPhone 4', so you will not be able to play podcasts on your iPhone"
1b. Clicked the "Install" button for the Podcasts app in iTunes. It now displays "Will Install"
1c. Clicked "Apply" in iTunes to start iPhone sync. iTunes shows "Copying 1 of 1: Podcasts"
1d. Podcasts app icon is shown correctly on one of the iPhone home screens. Previously, the Podcast app icon was a generic placeholder icon.
1e. Resyched iPhone and launched Podcasts app. Everything now working properly.
2 & 3. Didn't have to perform these steps, which implies that earlier suggestions contributed to the fix.
Thanks for your help!

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

HT1689 The iTunes Store won't open on my iPod, what happened?

My iTunes Store won't open. When it is clicked, it just flashes back to the home screen. I restarted it and turned it off and back on, but nothing helped. This all started after I upgraded to iOS 7.

Try This...
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 for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

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!!!!!
