My store app won't open

I tried updating to 8.1 a couple months ago but since my computer wouldn't connect to the internet I decided to cancel the update. Ever since then my store app won't open, or any of the other apps for that matter. I tried clearing the windows store cache
but a message just pops up saying that it can't find PurgeCaches. And when I ran the app troubleshooter it says that security setting have been changed but it resolved the issues, but I still have the same problem. There isn't an error message that pops up
or anything, it just spins and goes back to the start menu.

Hi,
For this issue,how did you clear Windows store cache?
If you want to clear Windows store cache,you should use WSReset.exe command.
If the isseu still persists,please Re-register the Store App:
Open CMD by running as administrator, and type following command to re-register the Store App:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
In addition, I would like to share the following article with you:

Hope this helps.

App store app won't open

Since last night, I have a weird problem on my iPad. The App Store app on my iPad won't open. I.e. it will start up (and it has enough time to actually connect to iTunes store and find that updates are available), but then it immediately takes me to iTunes app before I can interact with it. That way, I can neither update apps from my iPad nor buy new ones directly.
Oddly enough, this only happens with my UK account; my German and US accounts work fine, and it also works normally on my iPhone 4, and until now it never caused problems.
I've synced the iPad several times with my Mac, I've restarted it, I've signed out an in again into my iTunes account from within the iTunes app, still the same behaviour.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any tips?

I just got the same problem on my iPhone 3G after trying to update Skype. I was logged into UK account and it came up with the usual [Account not valid for store] message, instead of opening the proper store as usual and allowing me to login with US account, the app store just started redirecting to itunes. And the update was stuck. After 2 reboots I was able to use Skype again, but the App store is still broken. Tried the same thing with logining in and out, but can't get to the store with my UK or US account. Did a resync to the computer as well and same issue, contemplating a restore now....

ITunes Store app won't open..

Reboot your 5S. It's just 5 minutes to make iTunes Store work again.

App Store apps won't open

The apps I installed Friday worked fine over the weekend but now, when I press any of the installed app icons on the Home screen, it switches to the app and then immediately switches back.
These things do this: Epocrates Rx, Google Mobile Web, Pandora, Weatherbug, even purchased apps. I basically can't open any of them.
These work fine: the original iPhone apps, and apps that are basically links to a Safari web page, like the original Zagat.
As I say, this just started Sunday, it's been working fine up to now.
I tried resetting the phone (not the complete restore...yet, but by holding the top button and home button down), and resynching. No improvement.

Like you I downloaded Epocrates and initially it did open. I then downloaded 18 more apps and installed them and now no new apps will open. They start to open then quit and return me to the home screen. I restarted my iPhone 3 times and restored it twice to no avail. I am running Tiger 10.4.11 and right now I am upgrading to Leopard. I tried resynching using a direct connection to the iPhone with the original USB cable. I then removed all the new apps and reloaded only Epocrates and the Netter Atlas and still no luck. All the original Apple apps work fine. My next trick is to disconnect all the external Firewire and USB devices and try again with a RESTORE under Leopard with a direct USB cable connection to the iPhone. I'll post the outcome. P.S. my son downloaded 16 apps/games to his same generation iPhone using his Intel Mac and has had NO problem. I asked the people at the Apple store about this and they admitted other employees are having a similar problem and no one can figure it out yet. I will try the Genius Bar if nothing else works but the next appt is in 3 days.

Windows Store App won't open

I have a Nokia Lumia 530 and my windows store doesn't open at all for about a month now. It shows the following message:
"There has been a problem completing your request. Try agian later".
It also provides an error code whoch is the following: 805a8011
I just wanted to know if there is a solution for this problem, before calling up the windows help service.
Thank You...

Hi, Hemmellows. Welcome to the Microsoft Mobile Community. You can check if you have sufficient storage on your phone by going to Settings > storage sense. If you have enough space and the error still appears, you may need to reset the phone to factory default. Just go to Settings > about & then tap reset your phone. Make sure to create a backup to avoid data loss. Let us know how it goes.

App Store version won't open. "Warning. The Library in "Users/me/Pictures/A

App Store version won't open. When I click on the icon, I get the following pop-up. "Warning. The Library in "Users/me/Pictures/aperture library.aplibrary" cannot be upgraded" and then an option to quit. So the App does not even launch. I deleted and re-downloaded it and the same happens. It is a new 15" Mac pro, all software up to date. I use iPhoto for all my existing photos, located in the Pictures folder on the hard drive (all default settings). Help please appreciated.

Thank you. That did it, but now when I have imported from iPhoto library, all my pictures are coming out with patches of Blue or Red (a bit like when you are selecting areas for instant alpha, or when looking for blown out areas of a photo (I am no pro as you can tell). This is the case on most photos (around 9000). Could you help here too?
Thanks,
Ian

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!

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!

I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open. No error message, just -600.

I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open. Message just says 'unable to open' -600. I tried to reinstall Full Deck Solitaire, but the app store says it is already installed, so I can't do it that way. What should I do? There's nothing in Help that helps.

Please restart the computer and try again. If it won't restart in the usual way, force a shutdown by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to restart.

HT204407 App won't open... Installed it, added friends, used it a few times and now it opens for a brief moment with no options to touch and then closes

App won't open completely. I touch it, it opens, no options to touch. Then it closes

Try quitting it completely by double tapping the homebutton twice and closing the app at the bottom of the screen. If this doesn't help:
Try deleting the problematic app and then re-downloading the app from the app store.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option which is revealed by tapping the updates option at the bottom of the screen of the App store app on your iOS device.

The Netflix app won't open on my iPod

HT1725 My newly downloaded numbers app won't open on my iPad?

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.

Some of my apps won't open? I have the iPhone 4s.

Whenever I clicked an app, the screen would sortve blink but it wouldnt open. So I tried deleting an app and then I reinstalled it and the other apps still wouldn't open. So I tried the same thing with an app I actually wanted to use which was temple run, and it worked again. Only thing is, it deleted everything. All my data, all the things I bought on it. I definitely was not a happy camper. For future references, can anyone else suggest something I should do when my apps won't open? ... And anyone know how I can get back all of that stuff? Im really unhappy about deleting an app and all of its data and having to reinstall it everytime it doesn't open. Hope apple fixes this problem soon.

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

I just tried this and it did not work :/

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.
