When i touch an app it doesnt come up

Help! I have an Ipad that was loaned to us at school to use with one of our autistic children and when you touch on an application it doesnt do anything

If it's only downloaded apps that aren't working (i.e. the Apple built-in ones are) 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.
Otherwise try closing all apps completely : 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 it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do 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.

TS1702 When I touch an app it wouldn't open/start.

When I touch an app it wouldn't open/start. I have did all the updates, restarts, etc, etc. Does anyone have any more ideas. It always worked fine until I did an update for this app now it wouldn't start. I even uninstalled it and didn't do the update and it still wouldn't open???

Reinstall the drivers from the HP Website and Recovery Manager.
Reset the options to factory default in the HP Touch screen Config.
If it doesn't work, either touch screen failure or software failure.
Perform a System Recovery, if it works after, it's a software problem.
Still doesn't work, hardware problem, contact HP.
I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
Kudos if I helped!

When I touch my App Store, it starts Loading but won't open, just keeps loading.

Why App Store won't open? When tapped, it just keeps loading and loading. All other functions of iPhone work great.

Iphone 5 Issue. When I touch an app, email, etc to open I get a highlighted box but no response. Please help.

Also, I cannot unlock the phone to receive a call.

No, actually this is likely "Voiceover" got turned on by mistake.
It should be "reading back to you" what you selected (which is the highlighted box around the app)
Try triple-clicking the home button to turn Voiceover off.
If that doesn't work you're going to have to go into Settings to do it.
Tap the app so the box shows up around it- then double-tap the same app. It will then open. You have to use three fingers to swipe upward to get it to scroll down a page.

Apps still frozen after reset when you touch the app the screen flashes and then goes back to selection screen

Help

Try another Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.]

I have a ton of apps i only have 11 pages of apps and when i download more apps it doesnt continue to the next page it just dissapears

my apps just dissapear after 11 pages of apps and i cant see them or delete them

11 pages is the limit. If you have enough space, you could put more in but you won't be able to see it. You have to use Spotlight to find it.
Use computer iTunes to see beyond the 11 page limit. Also in here (much easier) you can group some of your apps together in a folder. Using folders you can have over 2000 apps.

All the apps i downloaded about a week ago, are all blocked now. When i touch the app the screen only flashes.

Every downloaded app doesn't work anymore. The previous time it happend, i had to reset the Iphone and then it works for a few days.

Download any free app from the App Store. Once it finishes downloading, the other should open properly.
Best of luck.

I have Ipad 2. When I touch an icon, a box forms around it and then I have to tap it twice to open. The box is messing up the touch screen and when I go into some apps they open, update then shut down.

I have an Ipad2. All of a sudden when I touch an app or select anything, a box forms around the icon or word and then I have to tap it twice to open it. So everything I do I have to touch 3 times. Also now when I open some of the apps, they open, update then close down. How do I get rid of the box.

You might have turned VoiceOver 'on'. See if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and if it does then cahnge what Settings > General > Axxessibility > Triple-Click Hme is set to.
Otherwise your need to use the 'touch to select, double-tap to activate' process to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

IPhone 4 has a black box around an app when you touch it. It won't allow you to swipe to the bottom of the settings feature to reset factory settings

Tripple click the home button to turn off switch control. Then:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Contol > OFF

My window shrinks when I open an app

I got a problem with my Iphone window, SOMETIMES, (I say sometimes because to annoy me, it does not happen all the time, but when it does happens, a restart does not fix it, I have to put my phone in "safe mode" and then back on "normal mode", then it MIGHT work), when I open an app (it doesnt really matter what, can be camera, can be settings, whatever), looks like what it can be better described as "occuping 1/4 of the window"

I just updated my iphone 4, from 4.1 to 5.0.1 less than a day ago this obviously did not happened back then, this is but one of the problems I have been facing, another one is problems with sync but ill let that one pass now.
Anyone has any idea what is causing this problem or how to fix it? if you need more info let me know

Judging by the "square with N" icon in your statusbar, your phone is jailbroken.
Jailbreaking your phone is the likely cause of the problem.
See the link below for the only support for jailbroken devices you'll get here:
