Touch the icon, nothing happens - can't use applications

Hey all,
Im sure this is a simple question with a simple answer but I can't figure it out!
I've downloaded some apps to my touch and was able to use them for a few hours (I just got it yesterday). Now, when I tap them to use the program (i.e. facebook, games) they start to load for a couple of seconds then the screen just goes back to the home screen. I can't use any of the applications I've downloaded (some of which I've paid for).
Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hi,
Try a restart.... for starters.

  • Having Installed firefox 5 I am not able to launch Firefox when I click the icon, Nothing happens, I am using windows 7 home

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • The gmail stopped working in the ipad; when i touch the screen nothing happens, other apps are working

    THe gmail stopped working; when i touch the screen nothing happens, cannot use any funtion with gmail, but other apps work normally

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset
    If it is the gmail app you are using, you might also try deleting and reinstalling it. If you are using the built in iOS mail app, you can try deleting and re-adding the gmail account.

  • I have installed Firefox but when I click on the icon, nothing happens.

    I have just downloaded and installed firefox, but when I click on the icon nothing happens.

    In case you haven't solved this by now...
    Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
    Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
    You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
    After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

  • My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens

    My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens. It doesn't bounce or anything. When i plug my iPhone into my macbook nothing happens either. I recently updated my operating system to the Yosemite. Everything worked fine until i updated it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

    Program folder? In general backing up and restoring application folders is not going to work. Windows programs should be installed using the appropriate installation programs.

  • When I download itunes 10.4 and quicktime the icons appear on my desktop but once I double click on the icon nothing happens, When I download itunes 10.4 and quicktime the icons appear on my desktop but once I double click on the icon nothing happens

    When I install itunes on my home pc everything goes thru fine I see the icons on my desk top but once I double click on the itunes icon nothing happens
    I downloaded itunes 10.4 and I'm using window 7 - 64 bit as my OS.

    Many thanks.
    The iTunes and QuickTime symptoms are consistent with another application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old Quicktime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    iOS apps don't run in iTunes on your computer and you don't double-click apps on iOS devices. What is the real problem you want to address?

  • I have downloaded some ibooks but when I click on the icon nothing happens - it won't open

    I have downloaded some ibooks from iTunes but icons will not open when I click on them. This issue applies to my Windows 7 computers and iPad (3rd Gen) and iPhone 4s.
    I can't find any help/support with this issue.

    iBooks only open in the iBooks app on an iOS device. It is possible that your download was corrupt, in which delete and download again from your purchased history.

  • I have Firefox installed but I cannot run it. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I also have IE and it loads and runs fine. Is there something that could be stopping Firefox from running? Thanks.

    I am using XP Pro at the latest level. I did have a problem with the Op Sys that was released by Microsoft but I have fixed that. I now am not able to run Firefox as I once did. What can I check in system .

    firefox won't start at all

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The hotness suggests a hardware problem
