New ipad apps wont open, wifi wont work, iOS 5.1

Hello all,
I am having serious issues with my 'new ipad'.
Since plugging and syncing to my laptop PC some issues have arrised. I am running iOS 5.1.
The airport icon in the top left displays bars, so I would assume it is connected via wifi to my router. However, safari says it is not connected. On wifi settings, the circular loading icon is constantly next to my wireless connection.
Secondly, all the apps which I have downloaded do not open! I have Dropbox, 4od catchup, eBay, Flipboard, Avid studio and a few photo editing apps. when tapping on them to open, the screen flashes black and the app icon shakes a tiny bit........and then nothing.
I have tried restarting (several times) and resetting the ipad.
Does anyone else have these serious issues with their new ipad?
Cheers,
Matt

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Ipad apps wont work after downloading update 5.1.1

    My I pad apps wont work after I downloaded OS update 5.1.1
    I have tried restoring, but it doesn't solve the problem.

    Hi
    I had the same problem since I updated, the iPad shows "No Sim" I have taken it out, put it back in after cleaning it! All the usual possible solutions that everyone else has tried? So I have not been able to connect for over a week now and I intended to pop into the Apple geek guys to let them have a look, but was scared that they might suggest it would have to be sent away!!! What would I do?. So last night I was fiddling around with the IPad and thought I would try something, AND GUESS WHAT! It works!!!!
    This is what I had done
    1. Take the SIM out of the IPad
    2. Leaving the SIM out, turn the Ipad off using the Home and power button at the same time, do this 4 times
    3. Now insert the SIM back in it then found my SIM
    I cannot confirm the is the ultimate cure, but it worked for me and I have tried all the other possible solutions, it's worth a try?

  • Ipad app updates via wifi not working

    I went from talktalk broadband to Bt on Tuesday (27 Nov), which may be a coincidence, but ever since my ipad 3 and iphone 4s will not sync app updates over wifi, they just freeze. I am getting so frustrated, one day these all worked seamlessly and now not.

    Try this
    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset allsettings

  • The sleep button on my ipad 2 wont work and i shutted it down for me to reset it but it wont open now

    Settings, General, Accessibility, turn on Assistive Touch. To lock screen press Device, Lock Screen.

  • My camera app wont work on my ipad2. i open the app ant the shutter stays closed. i am on ios 5 if that matters. help?

    my camera app wont work on my ipad2. i open the app ant the shutter stays closed. i am on ios 5 if that matters. help?
    thx
    -arose369

    First, double tap the home key and close off any apps that are in the task bar.  You are really looking for an earlier instance of camera or photobooth that is still there.  Then reboot the pad.  Hold the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider. 
    Then try the app again. 
    This has been happening off and on well before ios 5. 

  • I have the i pod touch 4th generation i updated the software and now my apps wont work

    i down loaded the new software 5.0.1 now my apps wont work

    - Try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Download/install any new app.

  • Downloaded app wont work

    AFTER PAYING for an app i get an error message stating the app wont work on the ipod touch because it needs a newer version of ipod software.   
    I downloaded the slingbox app for my ipod, of which there is no newer software available.
    Says it needs 3rd gen or later model.  How can i tell what "generation" my ipod is?  The ipod info screen only says sw ver = 4.2.1
    ser num = 1C928ASN201  6.83 gb  mac os =10.6.8
    If the generation of the device is something important to know then why wouldn't they list that detail where its easy to find?
    They could have been clear about this detail before accepting my money.   This is my first time buying anything from apple and hope this experience doesn't mar any future relationship.  

    Use this to determine the model. Key in your serial no.

  • Facebook apps wont work for my iphone 4 please help

    facebook apps wont work for my iphone 4 please help

    Ok, what you have here is a basic 'blown fuse' problem.
    With the iPhone 3G and 3GS if you drop them in water and they stop working you can almost always revive the phone simply by oepning them up, finding the corrosion on the motherboard then cleaning it and putting it back together.
    With the iPhone 4 (and 4S) it's a different story though in that water damage causes a fuse on the motherboard to blow. Once blown, the phones can no longer receive power from the battery. They can however receive power from a wall charger, which is why your phone runs whilst plugged into a charger but dies as soon as it's disconnected. Trying to run it from a USB port wont work either as the 5V power supply gets interupted whilst the phone is booting, as such it dies part way through booting, and the cycle repeats. 
    At this stage you have 3 options:
    -have the phone replaced by Apple, or
    -replace the damaged fuse on the iPhone motherboard yourself, or
    -send the phone to a company to have the fuse repaired
    There is a company that sells the replacement components, and  they have an installation sevice too. I've fixed a couple of iPhones in my day, and unless you are very proficent with a soldering iron I strongly recommend having the repair done for you.
    See the link below:
    http://fonefixer.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2684671
    Sorry it's not good news, but at least you know what's going on with the phone now and can weigh up your options.

  • Since updating blackberry app world facebook app wont work

    since i updated my blackberry app world my facebook app wont work? any ideas why?

    Since updating AppWorld has nothing to do with the Facebook app there is no way to know why your Facebook app won't work. Did you update anything else after updating Appworld? Do you have a BB data plan on your account? This isn't always necessary any more but either wifi or some type of data plan is required for the apps to work..

  • I´ve downloaded PS from CC, but the app wont work? Can re-download it?

    I´ve downloaded PS from CC, but the app wont work? Can re-download it?

    Hello,
    I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC (together with the Apps) doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I Quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • I updated my ipod touch(4G) and now all apps wont work

    i updated my ipod touch 32gigs (4G) and now all apps exept the defult apps wont work
    is there a way i can fix it without restoring because i have 6.5gb of apps and 1.37gb of music
    thanks Joseph but it didnt work it is still doing the same thing should i mention that only the aps i have downloaded dont work. the defult apps stilll work like settings ect.
    sorry but my computer wont let me reply

    Out of curiosity.
    You downloaded one new app and that fixed all the rest of your apps?
    Resetting your iPod Touch will not lose any data.
    Only restoring may cause you to loose data.

    Glad you got it fixed in the long run.

  • TS1398 My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. Goes in and out.  My IPod, IPhone, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work finer. I think it has wifi antenna issues.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. It goes in and out.  My IPod, Iphone4, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work fine. What can I do?  Does anyone else have this problem?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

    When you updated your iPhone 4S and iPad3 to iOS6, what exactly do you mean when you can't access the iTunes store? Have you checked your connection to the network?
