My messages app won't open on my iPhone.

Recently, when I go to open the messges app, it launches, but in about 15 seconds with a blank white screen, it crashes to the home page. and no matter what i do it continues to have these hiccups. I've restored, relaunched, and restarted numerous times. please help.

Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!

All my 3rd party apps won't open on my iPhone 4.

Recently all my apps won't open on my iPhone. All the stock Apple apps work though. All the 3rd party apps don't work. What can I do? I tried resetting, and restoring. What else should i try?

I'm also going through this problem and the only way to fix it (as far as I know) is go to App Store in your iPhone and download any random app (free app preferably), then make sure all your 3rd party apps work again and delete the random app you just downloaded.

I have the same thing happening to me today. What did you do to fix it. All the other apps in Blackberry Bridge work fine on my Playbook, it's just the messages. I have tried re-starting both devices but I still can't display the messsages, just the annoying white to black flashing screen.

TS1702 messages app won't open. I am unable to read or send texts

When I attempt to open the messages app, it freezes and goes back to home screen. I am unable to send or receive any texts or imessages.

After performing all of those steps, I would call the carrier. SMS is a carrier function. You need to make sure they check your account for texting.

Just synced my iphone 3GS and now half of my apps won't open on my iphone. I tried the reboot but it didn't help. This is version 4.3.2 . Any ideas?

Just synced my iphone 3GS and now many of my app's won't open on my phone. This was with version 4.3.2. I tried a reboot on my iphone but that didn't help. Any ideas?

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

My FB app won't open on my iPhone 4s

My FB app all of a sudden won't open......I have looked up the issue on the net but found no resolution.

You can try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I sent a very long message on iMessage and now my message app won't open.

It was really really long, I just kept pressing an emoji and copying and pasting. Whenever I open messages, it doesn't load. It's white and then closes by itself. I've tried to kill the app and restart my phone, it's been over an hour and I still can't open the app. Please help!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Messages App Won't Open

So, I got the new OS X update (Version 10.10.3) and the OS X Yosemite Recovery Update (Version 1.0) for my MacBook Air yesterday, and ever since, I can't seem to open the Messages on the laptop. I'll click the Messages icon, and it just doesn't respond to opening. (You know how the app will usually jump up and down to show that it's about to open. The Messages icon doesn't do that anymore.) All of the other apps are working properly, except for the Messages one. I tried removing the files from the Messages folder, and that worked a little bit, but it erased previous messages that I had. Also, I opened the MacBook again today, and the app stopped opening again, and it shows that the files are in the folder again.
Can someone please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

My apps won't open on my iPhone 4s

Hi does anyone know how to fix this? I have only ha my phone for a week and it's down this twice now and I have tried restarting it 4 times. Thanks

Hi. I have tried resetting my iPhone 4S three times and I have also downloaded a free app. Neither of those have fixed the problem. It only seems to be the Just Dance 3/Autodance app that won't stay open but I don't want to lose all my dancing videos on there as they cannot be recreated Please help me I've had the 4S from November 2011. I assume that if I delete the app and reinstall it that will delete all of my videos? I can't see another way to get them off the iPhone and on to my laptop.

App Won't Open on Verizon iPhone

Hello All,
A few days ago I purchased an app called "Skeptic's Dictionary" for $0.99. After it installed, I went to open it and it immediately closed. After 2 days worth of troubleshooting to fix it, as well as emailing the app's developer, I came to the conclusion that it's not compatible with Verizon's iOS, which is 4.2.8. The app's developer, in no uncertain terms, basically said it's designed to run on iOS 4.3, which is the latest version of iOS and what AT&T's iPhones have, but not Verizon's. This app was released at the very end of March, so it wasn't around prior or 4.3. Do a Google search, you'll see that Verizon's iPhone's iOS is behind.
Anyways, from what I've read online, Apple sent letters to app developers explaining this and asked them to update their apps to run on both iOS 4.2 and 4.2.8. Obviously this one did not and now I'm out $0.99. Not a whole lot, but it's still money. If I had known about this issue before purchasing this app, I never would've purchased it and instead could've used that $0.99 on an app that I could use. I know iTunes doesn't give refunds, I don't care. If it had been a $5+ app, then I'd be pretty mad, but whatever. I'm now hesitant on purchasing anymore apps because of this; I don't want to waste money on an app that I have no clue if it'll work or not since I don't have the most recent iOS on my phone.
Anyways, my questions:
1) Does this developer have to update his app to work on iOS 4.2.8? Given Apple's strict App & App Store policy, I'm surprised this app managed to slip by them since it doesn't work on Verizon's iPhones, which make up a LOT of the iPhone user base. Should I send iTunes an email letting them know about this app's issue? If I do, will they do anything about it?
2) Is Verizon going to get iOS 4.3 at all? It came out in March and it's now July.
3) Has anyone else with a Verizon iPhone had the misfortune of downloading an app that doesn't work because it's not compatible with anything below iOS 4.3?

Sorry, above, it should be "Apple sent letters to app developers explaining this and asked them to update their apps to run on both iOS 4.3 and 4.2.8"
For some reason the "edit" button is not on my OP.

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.

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.
