Updated Yosemite and none of my Apple apps will open

After updating every Apple based app will not open. Safari, App Store, iTunes, and even Terminal. I don't know what do since I can't even open App Store to reinstall anything.

My second paragraph was supposed to be: I've looked at similar issues people had when upgrading to Lion, but none of the solutions have worked.

My iPhone 5s restarts while charging and none of my downloaded apps will open

MMy iPhone 5s restarts every time I plug it in to charge. And none of my downloaded apps will open except for a few. I've restartedmy phone, deleted the apps then redownloaded them, ive reset my network settings, and even reset all of my settings in general. But nothing will work

Hello d.ashley.,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

None of my Apple apps will open

I think I may have screwed some things up when I tried to install Wineskins. I changed a couple of permissions, and now none of my Apple apps (Textedit, Preview, iBooks, Maps, etc...even Terminal) will launch. I've tried to go back and change things back to the way they were, with no luck. They don't launch if I sign in as a guest, or if I create a new user.
I've looked at similari
I'd appreciate any help anyone has to give!
Thanks,
Steve

Try restoring from a backup. Connect the iPhone to your computer, launch iTunes. Right or control click the iPhone under Devices in the source list then click: Restore from Backup.

I upgraded the iphone software to 4.2.8 and none of the purchased apps would open. I then restored the software and now all those apps are GONE. How do I get them back?

None of my iWork apps will open.

I have a 21.5" iMac at work. It is running Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.5). The computer is brand-new; I received it at the beginning of September, and it was purchased specifically for me so it is the latest model iMac. I use a combination of iCloud and Google Cloud Drive to store the majority of my documents and sync them between home and work.
Today I tried to open all three iWork applications and none of them would open - or, more accurately, they wouldn't beyond the "new documents" screen. The same thing happened/happens with all three. I would go to Launchpad or the applications window and hit the app; I would get the "iCloud for Pages/Numbers/Keynote" screen. If I hit new document, then I get the template chooser, but when I choose "blank" (or any template - it doesn't matter) and then hit Choose, nothing happens. I can do this 4-5 times in a row and nothing happens. If I then switch to use another app, the iWork app will close spontaneously. The same thing happens if I hit cancel and then try to create a new blank document using the File menu in any iWork app.
If I try to open an existing iWork file, I get the message "[filename] cannot be opened." This happens regardless of whether I double-click the file within its folder or whether I try to open it directly from iWork using the menus. Even if I try to open a Microsoft Word document in Pages by right-clicking and selecting Open in...Pages, I get the same message. I don't have this problem with any other applications on my computer; when I go to the App Store, the applications show as installed on my computer.

I am having the same problem with my iWorks apps on my iPad (but not my iPhone). I am hopeful the update to iOS 7.0.3 will fix it. I have been searching this site for solutions but had not found anyone with the same problem until now. Thanks for the second post. It gives me hope!

None of my apple apps can export files, including Mail, iPhoto, Aperture and Preview.

None of my apple apps can export files, including Mail, iPhoto, Aperture and Preview. When I try to export a file from any of these programs, the app hangs for a few seconds and then does nothing, not even open an export dialogue. Same thing happens when I try to attach a file to an email. Also, maybe related and maybe not, Photoshop will crash after the splash screen. All of these app function properly when using a different User Account.
I've tried deleting my application preferences in my user library and when that didn't work, I deleted my account and then created a new one that used the same user directory, which still didn't fix anything.
I don't really want to make a new user from scratch and have to re-enter license numbers, re-calibrate monitors, recover bookmarks, contancts, etc. etc. if I don't have to, so I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks!

You cannot change your iCloud email address but you can setup a new alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
You cannot transfer purchases from one AppleID to another.

I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated. And can't used the app card number. Any advice???

I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.

Software Update Hung, now Apple Apps wont open

I was recently doing a regular Software Update download, and left it to run overnight. When I checked the next morning, it hand hung before completing the downloads (Safari update and others).
Since I had nothing but the spinning beachball, I had to do a hard reboot. Now I can boot and use some apps, but others, including all of the Apple apps will not open (except QT).
I have used Disk Utility to check and repair permissions (though it didn't see any error). I have tried a Safe Boot, but nothing has yet worked to reset things. I am searching for my original boot disk to try and launch with it and see if I can repair....
Fortunately this in not my main computer anymore, and my data is in a different partition and also backed up.
Any thoughts on getting my old iMac G5 back to normal?
CHUCK

Hi Chuck,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

where is the agree button on I phone 4 to agree to new updated terms and conditions for downloading new apps? read all info all 54pages but no agree button at end?

Try first signing out of the iTunes and App Store in Settings>iTunes and App Stores (tap on your apple ID and choose sign out) then sign back in.
Then do a hard reset, hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until you see a white Apple then release.
Then go ahead and try again, should work.
I hope this helps!
