Restored iphone but apps pop up for a second then go away

I keep trying to download apps but once i download and install them i click on them the first screen appears then disappears. I restored my phone and resynced without apps, but will still not allow me to run new apps

There have been a number of threads on this over the past few weeks. It looks like this is becomming a more common problem.
The way to fix it (temporarily at least) is to reinstall an App. A backup and restore may work, but it is bit more drastic... Try the repurchase an app method first.

  • I restarted my iphone and when it booted back up i received a loud pining sound with a message stating please give me back my iphone.  it popped up for a second and went away.

    I just restarted my iphone because of lag and when it popped back up there was a loud pinging sound with a message that appeared that stated give me back my iphone. It  went away after a few seconds and the sound stopped.  I restarted 4 times since then to see if it happened again but it never occured.
    After doing a bit of looking around online i noticed that messages like these appear through the find my iphone app.  I bought the phone new a year ago from my provider and broke it right out of the box and everything so i know didnt buy a stolen phone or anything.
    Help or adice on the issue would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  I thought about maybe i was somehow messing around in icloud but i dont quite recall doing that but with new toys you never know what you may press.  I just wanted to see if there was some sort of glitch going around perhaps.
    I've changed my passwords for all my accts to be on the safe side as it is looking like there is no glitch that may cause this.
    it's beginning to look more and more like it was caused by a person.
    thanks a bunch.

  • Apps flash on for a second then close again

    When I click on the app icon, they flash for a second then go away.  I can still get Internet and my email.
    .  Any suggestions?

    I had tried that before I posted but after reading your suggestion I tried it again.  I had also tried downloading a random app but I couldn't get it to load one.  I tried the reset again, still nothing but then downloaded an app and this time success!  Thanks for your answer.  Perseverance paid off.  I'm back in business! Thank you.

  • The sound effects volume is all the way down. It pops on for a second, then disappears. I can't find it in settings.   How do I get the sound back?

    The sound effects volume is all the way down.  It pops up for a second once in awhile and then disappears. I can't find it in the Setting.  Music sound plays fine, but no sound on my apps.  Any idea how to fix it?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Console Window keeps popping up for one second then vanishes before I can read it

    a console window (with white letters on a black background) keeps popping up for 1 second and then vanishes before i have time to read it - How can i
    stop that, or how can i capture what is written on the console before it disappears (so that I can troubleshoot it)?
    I use as x64-bit Windows 8 pro Lenovo T430s.
    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks Andre,
    I ran ProcMon and went to the ProcessTree window, but could not find any cmd.exe there (and hence could not see the commandline). (I also watched the video about ProcMon).
    The closest I could find in the ProcessTree window was conhost.exe, with commandline showing:
    \??\C:\windows\system32\conhost.exe 0x4
    I saved the capture trace, at:
    http://sdrv.ms/14Dfvjs
    Do you see any other leads in there that I could work on?
    In the result column, I noticed some "buffer overflow" and "name not found", many associated with "tunmgr.exe" the Blackberry Link Communications Manager.
    I also noticed that in the ProcessTree Window, the only two process lines with an End Time are tunmgr.exe and conhost.exe.
    the respective command lines are:
    for tunmgr.exe:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Tunnel Manager\tunmgr.exe" -Embedding"
    for conhost.exe:
    \??\C:\Windows\system32\conhost.exe 0xffffffff
     - could that be it?
    If so, how could one fix that ?

  • Bought new charger: Says it charging for a second then goes away.

    I just got a new charger for my laptop after my last one broke and I plug it in and it says it is charging for a second then the charging icon goes away like its not working anymore? I have no idea what to do because I am sure the same will happen if I bought another charger.

    Hi MSginobili20,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! Was the original charger doing the same thing as the new one? It could be the battery that is causing the problem. Start with a Hard Reset and if that doesn't work then we will run a hardware test on the battery. For that I will need your operating system and your product number, please.
    Thank you,

  • HT203167 one of my tracks i.e. Sultans of swing ( Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but now only plays for ten second then carries on to the next track, how can I restore the original download ?

    One of my tracks i.e. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but cuts off after 11 seconds, then plays the next track.
    How can I re-download the track again to restore it?

    Delete problem track from library (if it is an iTunes Store purchase and you entitled to redownload past purchases - stop otherwise!)
    Close iTunes
    Open iTunes
    Select iTunes Store in left-hand column
    Select Purchased in right-hand column
    Select Music and Not on this computer
    The track should be listed now with a small cloud symbol which lets you download it.
    If you start downloading the track in step 7 then... While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. (Should should help improve the reliablility of future downloads made with this build of iTunes.)
    If the above hasn't helped then... contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I can't open iTunes on my iPhone 4S. It opens for a second then shuts off.

    Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

    Hi there Powerpuff19,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    Ok mate no need to talk to me like im a complete idiot, and no it is not on silent im not that stupid. There is a message pop up on my screen saying 'this accessory is not optimized for this iPhone' and underneith 'you may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength' and under that only one option to press which says dismiss. I cant find anything in my settings or applications and have tried resetting my phone 3 times and still nothing only plays ringtones ever now and then wont play music from ipod, youtube or other applications.

    No there's not.  Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

  • I just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone

    Please help me i just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone

    I thought I resolved it, but the problem came back! And this time, re-starting Muse didn't help.
    I was creating a vertical line to separate the sidebar from the main area, and when I extended the line down to where the footer guide is, the page started to expand and the navigation bar at the top started growing, while the links disappeared again. Now all links from the master page are again missing from every page but the master.
    When I undid it, the navbar went back to its normal depth, but the text links in it did not return.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Also, it really wasn't my intention for the navigation bar to grow vertically as the page grows. Is there a way to prevent that?

    Gaming apps freezes for few seconds , then resumes by itself or crashes sometimes ,after upgrading to iOS 8.3 on iphone 6

    Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
    1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
    2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
    3. Do a soft and hard reset.
    4. Reset network settings.
    5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
    6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
    I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)
