'Notes' App won't start.

My iPhones Notes App won't start.
It starts, then closes on its own.
Tried restore from iTunes backup - but that didnt help.
Any idea please.

I've been fighting with Notes for a few hours
On the side bar ~ On My Mac & all the other notes apps it is automatcally syncing to are listed or email accounts if that is the way it is set to sync in System prefs > Mail. ( the option I use as I only have 4GB a month and little WiFi.)
Make sure you have the On My Mac note folder selected in the first of the three columns... typing or doing anything else in the other synced folders crashes Notes. Apple has a multitude of crash reports from me .. If you get the constant error page do not restart. Close and try again..
If in a real mess Take the Mac Off Line so it stops trying to sync ~ copy the notes to textedit or similar then delete all notes and the system prefs mail option if used. Restart Mac and try again..
Mine is now sorted I wish you the same result

WinRT app won't start

Hi,
my name is Cristian and I'm working on a WinRT application used in a LOB scenario. The app was deployed to Windows 8.1 PRO machines which are not domain joined and which have valid sideloading keys loaded. After several updates to the app which all
went well, after running the latest one, on a certain machine, the update wasn't visible so I uninstalled the app and tried to install it from scratch. After doing this the app won't start anymore and in the event logs I found this "helpful"
message:
"Activation of the app -full_app_name_here- for the Windows.Launch contract was blocked with error 0x80073CFC because its package is in state: 17."
Can anybody help in pointing me to where I should look to see what the problem might be?

Hi,
Did you use SQL?It seems the issue was related to datebase permission.
Please check it.

TS1702 I just tried to open my notes app. It started to open, showed my topics/title, then removed everything since the last backup. Why? How do I get the information back?

I just tried to open my notes app. It started to open, showing past topics/titles, and then closed immediatly. When trying to open the app again, all my notes disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements.

Apps won't start after iOS5 upgrade for ipad2

Hi, after upgrading my ipad with the latest iOS. when you clck on any apps..it starts and then minimize..when you double click on the home buttom..you will see the apps there. Please advice.

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
Otherwise have you tried closing all apps completely and then seeing if they work when you re-open them ? From the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then 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.

IPad Notes App Won't Open - A Workaround

The Notes app on my Ipad suddenly stopped working. Whenever I clicked on the app, the app would start to load then flash the notes list for a brief Secound then close. I tried every conceivable method to recover the functionality. I closed the app from the home screen, rebooted the iPad, nothing worked. I even tried quickly opening a note as the list flashed. No luck.
Finally, I thought, what if I could do a search that would pull up a note. I did just that. I typed in a word I knew was in one of my notes and the note listed in the search window. From there I was able to open my notes app. I opened and closed the app several times and all seemed to be back to normal.

Both methods were work arounds. If they don't work try more traditional methods. If your Notes won't open neither method can make them work less.

Phone app won't start intermitantly

Hello. So the phone is caught up to the latest firmware, but I'm having intermitant problems where the phone app, the ipod app, and several others occasionally won't start. I lauch them, wait a few seconds on a black screen, and then end up back at the main menu. Try again and it usually works.
So this isn't debilitating, but it is annoying. Anyone have any suggestions for what to do, or any diagnostics I can run? I recently did a full reset/restore as well, but it didn't help either...
Thanks for any help....

Having the same problems with an iPhone 5 64GB updated 10th August to version 3.7.0.
Opening the app instantly crashes the phone to the white apple startup screen.
Tried restarting the phone several times and fault still occurs, so I guess this is a Spotify update fail

Apps won't start after latest update?

Hello,
I'm on an older 2006 iMac (the one without the black border) and I installed the latest update last night. Now I can't get Firefox, Safari, Mail or apps working properly. When I try to start an app it bounces up and down and then I can't remember what it says but it won't start. Any ideas how to fix this? I'm thinking of downloading Firefox and Safari on my sister's computer and then transferring them via my memory stick.
I also tried a restart. Last night I just shut it down and walked away and figured I'd deal with it when I get home from work today.

Hi, first I hope you have your important stuff backed up!!?
I would & always do Repair Permissions Before & after Updates, so I would try the RP ..
Then I would go the SMC route, specific for your model..
If after that you still have "issues" You may need to go the Archive & Install route..

App won't start or crashes immediately. How to reload it?

I have an app (Bento 1.1.5) that won't start on the iPad 1, current iOS (5.0.1). It used to be fine, but no more. It eaither goes into forever start-up mode; the "wheel" keeps turning and it never loads. Or it crashes immediately on start-up. After each problem time I've closed all apps and restarted the iPad. Still no luck. How do I delete Bento and reinstall it from my Mac? Or is there a way to re-download a fresh copy?
I have an idea how to do this, but wanted to ask first rather than screw things up. Thank you for your help.

Deleting Apps...
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.

Software update, now apps won't start?

I just updated the software in my girlfriend's Iphone 3gs, and now the downloaded apps wind up on a separate page, and they won't start up. Their title pages just flash onscreen, then discontinue. No error messages.

It sounds ljke you interrupted an update that was failing. You said it was reinstalling upon reboot? Something's wrong there.
Clone the external drive to the internal.
Use Disk Utility to Restore your external to the internal or download and use CarbonCopyCloner.

(Yellow )notes app will not save my new notes. Just old ones . I had to get a new 5 and Apple store was not real helpful and moved on to next customers. Said everything would download. I' m a Gma need help!

You could try manually syncing or if that doesn't work visit the amazon website, log into your account, find your book & choose reset furthest page read.

IPhone 5 w/IOS 7.1.2 - Notes app won't open.

I deleted a single note. Now the Notes app will not open. If I press the Notes icon, on the Home screen, the app opens, flashes and then disappears. If I look on the multitask bar, the Notes app is there showing the last note I viewed, before deleting a note. If I touch it to open, it opens on the main screen and then disappears! If I look at the multitask bar again, it is there...... I can repeat the multitask bar view repeatedly! It's like there is an immediate Home button press happening that closes the Notes app! What's up?

I went ahead and just restored my iphone to a new phone and then restored my most recent backup. Problem resolved!

My iPad ran out of battery completely. After charging all night, it is 100%, but my apps won't start. I can access email, Safari, etc.....just not game apps. I have restarted it several times. Thanks!

Try downloading any free app from thee store and then re-try your apps - the free app can then be deleted.
If that doesn't work then try closing all your open/recently used apps completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

OSX 10.10.3 Messages app won't start - unresponsive

Since my upgrade to OSX 10.10.3 from 10.10.2 on my 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7 8GB MBA the Messages app will no longer open for me. I do receive notifications of Messages, but as soon as I attempt to open the app it becomes unresponsive and pegs the CPU.
I've never used Messages beta on this system, no corporate security junk (i.e. Intel/McAfee), just plain ole 10.10.3 on an MBA.
I've submitted a crash report to Apple on every occurrence. Just wondering if someone has found a simple workaround.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
