TS1702 Can anyone help? For no reason, I cannot open any of my apps.  I can open everything else, just not apps.  I have turned the ipad on and off several times, this doesn't work.  Does anyone know what to do and why this has happened?

Hello, for some strange reason I cannot open any of the apps I have.  I have tried turning the ipad on and off and this doesn't work.  I can open everything else (videos, camera, etc) just no apps.  Can anyone help please?

If it's 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.
If it's all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see 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.
