Siri won't open apps

I just updated to iOS 7. Everything seems to be working fine, except that Siri won't launch any apps. She will say, "I don't see an app named ..." I've tried it with apple apps and other apps. She always says the same thing.

Finally, I was able to fix this by doing a reset on my iPad (Erase all data and settings). I was trying to avoid this as it was quite cumbersome, but I had pretty much tried everything else and nothing worked. Now, Siri is opening apps, but unfortunately, I lost some of my books during the resetting process. Hopefully, this will work for everybody.

Any ideas? Thanks.

I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

Hi ***- Finally got Siri working the way it was suppose to on my ipad3.... After doing a few things suggested by the Apple Store (just verbal help without an appointment setup) I actually setup an appointment today and took my ipad into the store- basically- it required erasing everything on the ipad- and instead of doing a backup using my computer- I had everything re-populate on the ipad from "icloud" while in the store- so far everything still seems to work ok- however I have no plugged the ipad into my MacBook Pro yet- - but everything I needed on my ipad was already stored on the cloud anyway- so once I plug into my MacBook Pro and see if Siri still works correctly- we will know if something on the MacBook caused the problem-
Hope this info helps you guys- so to recap without so many words-
After spending an hour with the Apple folks- they finally did an erase on my ipad-without it being connected to my computer-
Once the ipad erased and restarted- we tested Siri and it worked fine- then I typed in my Apple ID stuff- and over an hour or so- everything that was stored on icloud gradually downloaded onto my ipad-
I'm now home- and setting up everything else- and occasionally testing Siri during the process- tomorrow I'll plug in the ipad to my MacBook Pro and see what happens after that-

Siri won't open/launch any of the apps on my iPad 3 (IOS7). Siri responds to almost any other commands except this. By the way, my iPad is not jail broken. Please help.

Siri does not recognize my apps and won't open them. Every time I asked Siri to open an app, e.g. Facebook, it responds with, "You don't seem to have an app named Facebook." I have an iPad 3 using IOS 7 and is not jailbroken. Please help. I appreciate it. Thank you.

I'm also experiencing the same problem. I've seen a supposed fix by deleting 2 files /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore.bak
/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist
I believe the above solution is for jail broken phones, and mine is NOT.
Please help. Thank you.

HT204389 Siri won't open my apps

So I just got the iphone 5 and I updated it with my old iphone 3gs. When I ask Siri to launch any one of my many apps, she tells me that I don't have the apps I ask for. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do about it?

You must have not read my post right. I know how to use Siri, but she won't open any of my apps when asked too.

Siri won't open Pandora on my iPhone 4S

I cannot for the life of me get Siri to open Pandora, she will open any other apps. Any ideas?

I'm having the same **** excat issue, Siri seems to open only the Apple apps, other than the apple apps I get the message "You don't seem to have an app name 'the name of the none apple app'."
I try to open facebook, and you see the question recognized by siri and spelled correctly but when it opens the app it opens Passbook instead of facebook! it's frustrating! iphone 4s, ios 6.1.1 clean restore ...what's going on!
Apple don't seem to get their act togther anymore!

Help Updated Iphone 3gs to 4.3.3 now won't open apps or play purchased songs

Hey i updated my boyfriends iphone 3gs on my P.C last night to 4.3.3.
But now it won't open any 3rd party apps even through they've been brought from the apple store
and everytime you select a song to play it shows one song but plays a completly differnt one.
Anyone else had this kinda problem and now how to fix it ??? would be much apreciated.
Also none of the info or apps on the phone are backed up on the P.C if i restore the phone will i be able to retrive all the purshed apps and songs using his itunes account ?
thanks

You will be able to redownload the apps, but not the music. If the music isn't backed up, it will be lost. That said, it sounds like you should try a reset first. Press and hold both the Home and Power buttons until the phone turns off (ignore the slider to turn off window). If that doesn't work, a restore is the next step.

My iPad won't open apps without crashing

Hi,
My iPad mini (1st gen) keeps crashing as soon as I open apps. I've tried resetting and turning on and off but this doesn't do anything. I'm trying to restore but iTunes say I can't because "Find my iPad" is turned on and tells me to turn it off in the iCloud settings on my iPad but obviously I cannot do this as the Settings app crashes when I try to open it. I am on the latest operating system (iOS 8.3)

You should be able to do a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, then release the buttons and let the mini complete its startup routine.
If that does not help, you can login to your iCloud account from a computer or another device that has the Find My Phone app installed, go to Find My Phone, and remove the iPad Mini from the devices list. That will free it so you can to deeper reset.

Ipod touch won't open apps?

I have an ipod touch, and whenever I try to open an app I've downloaded that's not preloaded into the ipod, it'll open up for about a second and then instantaneously flash back to the home screen. At first is was one app, then it was several, and then it becomes all of them. Sometimes they lose their picture too.
It's set to the newest version, there are no updates. I've checked. I've also checked if any of the apps require a new update or a newer generation ipod. Since I have the newest version and itunes won't install an app that requires a newer generation ipod, this can't be the problem. There are no problems with the battery.
I've tried reseting the ipod, no luck. I've tried restoring the ipod and putting everything back on (several times through a previously made backup, once from scratch): both of these work for about 2 days and then I have the same problem all over again. I refuse to restore and back up my ipod every few days.
(If this info helps you any, every time I plug it into the computer it doesn't recognize it as an existing ipod, it asks me to set it up as a new ipod and tries to sync it all over again. Even if I had not restored the ipod since last I plugged it in.)
I read through several forums on this and read the official troubleshoot on how to fix the problem, but none of the suggestions seem to work.
Does anyone know of anything else I should try, or do you think I should send it in and get it looked at?

If you still have the problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Mac won't open apps when I add a storage drive

I recently moved my IMac to a new location and when I restarted it it would open one app(mail) then it would not let me close it or could I open any other apps.
The app would blinkas normal but then nothing. The app I had open was in ignore. Could not force close had to a reboot.
Found that if I unhooked my storage drive it all was good. Moved the storage drive to my laptop works fine. I have a portable drive I carry with my laptop, tried it on the Imac same result. Another thing widgets work fine all the time.

Classic is installed but won't open apps

I've confirmed the Classic OS in System preferences. However, when I try to open an OS9 app, it will appear in the OSX Dock, but will not open. I think I may have to reinstall Classic. Any ideas?

Hi, orangekay.
After using Macs for 24 years and hanging around these forums quite regularly for about half that time (since several years before they were called Apple Discussions), I have no clue at all what "See the bless tool's man page" might mean, or how to go about doing so. I suspect that a good many other readers of your post, quite possibly including TokyoMonAmour, will be similarly mystified. Perhaps it would be more helpful just to tell how to re-bless the System Folder.
If an OS 9 or earlier System Folder does not bear the Mac OS smiley-face logo, it is not "blessed". To re-bless the System Folder, open the folder, drag the System file out of it onto the desktop, close the folder, and drag and drop the System file back onto the closed folder. The Mac OS logo should now appear on it.
TokyoMonAmour:
I don't know that re-blessing the SF will be the solution to your problem. If it doesn't help (or if the SF is already blessed), please post back and let us know.
