Some of my apps won't open now with OS X YOSEMITE upgrade,.

I upgraded to OS X Maverick, then to OS X Yosemite, and now I can't open some of the pre-installed apps. that came with the system. I'm getting the message: 'You can't use this version of ... with this version of OS X." PLEASE HELP. I'm very limited on my knowledge of Macs. Thank you.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite. They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

Some of my apps won't open- when try to open..they just shut down when opening..?

Hi guys... Any tech advice would be welcome... My first time on this forum..
Some of my apps won't open- when I try to open them..it just shuts them down.
It then goes back to the home screen. This is happening on eBay, calander, bbc news. Each day is different one.
Then it seems to be ok, and hey hey... It does it again!
Usually choosing another app?
It also drops out sometimes, if I go from an eBay item link to Safari.
Again back to the home screen....
I have had these problems for about 6 weeks, my iPad is 2 months old..
It's first iPad, and I love it!
but never had any problems before like these on my iPhones..
Thanks

troublshooting:
go to your open apps (double click on the home button). remove all of the apps you have open there.
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Follow these steps to reset your device
Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and the steps above do not work.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

if those don't work you may have to restore your ipad and see if that doesn't fix anything
I think your issue is an open tab you have in Safari but it could be a number of things.
If these don't work, I would go to the apple store, tell them you pretty much did everything you could and the issue comes back, then you can deduce what the issue is possible by keeping track of which apps you have open.

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.

Iphone 4S apps won't open/run

Hi my phone has recently developed a problem where some of the apps won't open or run properly.
facebook for example even the appstore, when I open them I just get a 'loading' icon and nothing else.
Do I have to restore my phone to it's original settings? I really don't want to lose all my text messages etc.
many thanks in advance.

If it's an Apple ID authentification problem this can be resolved by downloading and installing any free app. Even though I doubt that's the problem it wouldn't do any harm to try. If this doesn't resolve it, and it's only certain apps that are effected, try deleting these apps from your phone and reinstalling them. You delete them by tapping and holding the app icon until it wiggles, then tap the x. You can redownload them for free (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
If it still persists, the next step is to restore your phone. You can first try to do this from backup, which will preserve your currend settings and data. Follow this guide to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, taking care to back up your phone at step 6. You will have the option to restore from this backup at the end. You must sync your phone with iTunes after doing this to transfer your media (music, etc.) back to your phone. If this doesn't work, then you will have to go through this process again, but restore your phone as new (since the backup contains the source of the problem). Unfortunately, you will lose your current data and settings.

Try close all inactive apps

2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.

I "updated" my phone and now half my apps won't open. What can I do?

I "updated" my phone and since then half of my apps won't open. I was able to update some and now they open but can't get to the rest.

Make sure you're connected to WiFi and tap the apps to continue the download.
If that doesnt work, try re-setting the device.
Hope this helps!

In app purchase for the Simpsons tapped out didn't go through and now app won't open

I bought donuts on the Simpsons tapped out app n it went to iTunes and I did in app purchase, and now my app won't open and it seems like my phone is trying to download it keeps asking me for my apple password when app shuts down, I tries to delete app and reload it, it doesn't help I also retuned phone to default setting still nothing, i can go on my other devices and load app but it doesn't show my purchase, did this happen to anyone else and did u find an answer to fixing this problem????? Please Help!!!!!

I had this same exact thing happen. The problem seemed to occur when I tried to do an in-app purchase and my iTunes Apple ID needed payment verification. Tapped Out triggered the iOS to open the verification part of the App Store. After verification iOS asked if I wanted to proceed with the purchase. I hit "ok". The App Store was trying to handle the in app purchase like it was a regular app purchase. When I went back into Tapped Out, I was met with an error message stating that the purchase has been made, and it was waiting for download. I also couldn't initiate any more in app purchases. When I quit and relaunched Tapped Out, it flashed the loading screen and then quickly crashed. Followed by a prompt for my Apple ID password.
The disconnect here is somewhere in the coding from Tapped Out to the iOS. Tapped Out is asking for authorization on a in app purchase and the iOS is trying to initiate a regular app purchase.
I have tried erasing and reinstalling Tapped Out. I have tried signing out of my iTunes account and launching Tapped Out. I have tried "Resetting All Settings" from the general setting panel in iOS, which usually fixes everything... Nothing is working though.
I was able to download Tapped Out on a different iOS device (all running 7.0.4 btw) and was able to run it, sign in with my Tapped Out login and Apple ID. I was even able to initiate the in app purchase fully. So this tells me that the bug here is buried deep in the preference of iOS 7 on my original device, not the Tapped Out account or my iTunes Apple ID.
The sure fire answer to solve this is to do a clean erase and restore of the device. I really don't want to do that though because it will get rid of my current camera roll and my text history. Plus I'll have to resync all my music and that takes a while. I'm hoping the bug just times out and the app refreshes itself... But I'm doubtful of that. I think we are the unintentional collateral damage from some sloppy coding on EA's part. A clean erase and install might be the only answer. Hopefully it will rectify itself though...

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"
