When I touch an application, no matter what it is, it opens quickly and then closes and goes back to the main screen. What should I do?

Basically what I said before. I will touch the Words with Friends app, just for an example, and it will open and quickly close. Same goes for everything else. Birds, Facebook, Music, Books, etc. Any thoughts?

- A reset usuallu cures the problem:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If still problem, restore from backup via iTunes.
- If still problem, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

OK, just remembered that someone had posted a solution for this "login loop" issue.
If you follow the directions here and be sure to enter all of this EXACTLY as it appears here, you may be able to solve this problem.
You will first need to boot into single user mode, which will bring you to a scary looking text only screen. Don't be frightened.
To do this, startup holding the Cmd-S keys together. At the entry which shows root# enter the following exactly. Write it down now, since you won't be able to copy/paste. Pay attention to case and spaces. Everything is lower case. The only spaces are between /sbin/mount and -uw, between -uw and / and between rm and /var/audit/current
Type in
/sbin/mount -uw /
Hit return and then at the next root# prompt, type in
rm /var/audit/current
Then hit return and at the next root# prompt type in "reboot" no quotes. Don't type in anything new until you get the root# prompt after entering each command.
If after entering rm /var/audit/current, you get a message back saying "no such file," then just type in "reboot" at the prompt.

I have installed Angry Birds Season and the Icon appears but when I select that game it goes back to the main screen???

I have installed Angry Birds Seasons and the Icon appears but when I select the game it starts to open but then goes back to the home screen. What to do???

Try closing the app completely and then see if it works when you re-open it : from the home 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 the Angry Bird Seasons app to close it, 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.
A third option if neither work is to delete the app and then re-download it

When I click on itunes it won't open up. No error message, phone acts like it's going to but then it goes back to the main screen.

Need help

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

TS3899 When I'm reading my hotmail acct., the app will close randomly, going back to the main apps page. Also my e-mail accounts will disappear at random. I have to go to settings. go to each acct. re-click "done", I'm using a mini os 7.0.4

E-mail whether hotmail or g-mail, will blank out as I click on links within the mail. It goes back to the home screen. more and more often, the mail folders just vanish, and I have to go to settings and re-click "done" on each acct., even though all are filled in properly. started after I upgraded to 7.0.4

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

These are the general things that you can try to get your apps to work again. But the first thing you can try is to download any free app - that seems to reset something. See if your apps will work after that. If not try these things listed.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If none of these things work, you may have to delete the app and install it again. To delete the app, tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X that appears on the icon to delete it. Restart your iPad as described above and download the app again.

When I open email it shuts down immediately and goes back to my main screen. Any suggestions?.

Double tap your home button to bring up the most recently used apps (task bar). With your finger hold it on any of the those apps until they all start to jiggle. Each app will now show a in the upper left corner. Touch the minus on the Mail App to fully close it. Touch your home button once again to stop the apps from Jiggling, then again to get back to your home screen.
I would then Reboot your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Try the mail app and see if you can navigate again.
If neither option helps, it sometimes helps to delete the mailbox, then reinstall it.

When I touch an application, no matter what it is, it opens quickly and then closes and goes back to the main screen. What should I do?
