Why apps flash but do not open

Why the screen does not respond to touch and some apps only flash and do not open

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.
Then try downloading another app - any free app is OK. See if that resets the other apps and allows them to start working.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the iPad.
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.

  • Apps flashing but won't open, iphone keeps reverting to "Sync with itunes"

    The short version:
    My iphone started having issues a month ago. When I tried to open an app it would flash then close. Also, the phone would randomly lock into the sync with itunes screen. That could happen several times a day. If I turned the phone off and then on again the sync screen would disappear. To get apps to work right I would have to install a free app from the App store on my phone and then all Apps would work again.
    Apple was very nice and replaced the phone-still same problem.
    AT & T was nice and replaced Sim card- still same problem.
    Apple support had my reset the phone as a new phone and not restore from previous version-same problem.
    I removed all the Apps on the phone-same problem.
    Yesterday I removed all my music from the phone...so far, the phone has been fine.
    My question is...
    What could be suddenly causing my music to suddenly cause these problems and how do I fix it?

    Launch iTunes then connect the iPhone to your Mac.
    You should see the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
    You can sync content from there.

  • IWork apps start but will not open a doc nor start a new doc. Just quits!

    I have just bought a new 15" Macbook pro with Mavericks. It has Pages, Numbers and Keynote (apparantly) installed.
    I have updated to Mavericks 10.9.2 and the Appstore offered updates to Pages, Numbers and Keynote which I did.
    However, when I start any of these apps, the relevent menu appears, the relevent icon appears on the dock but that is all!
    The 'New' menu item does nothing. The 'Open' item opens a file selection window but after selecting a (relevent) file the app
    quits with a message 'Pages (or Numbers or Keynote) quit unexpectedly'. Even the 'About' menu does nothing.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  (I have sent a report to Apple - but don't really expect any response.)

    For anyones info . . .
    I solved this problem myself.
    I removed all iwork apps.
    I was unable to re-install iwork apps because the Appstore insisted they were already installed !
    So . . .
    1. Use 'CleanMyMac' and remove ALL trace of iwork, pages, numbers and keynote
    2. Install iWork 09 - I borrowed a coleague's DVD
    3. Install iwork 09.3 update - as above
    4. The Appstore then re-offered a Pages, Numbers and Keynote update
    5. Do the updates
    Voila! - the apps now work OK

Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

    Does this happen immediately after you log in? If so, one of your login items is probably causing it.

  • HT1349 Why are my games not opening? I already reset my iPad but still not opening. What's the best thing to do?

    My games are not opening. I tried resetting my iPad but still not opening. once pressed, it doesn't do a thing.

    1. What's the best way to speed up the slide show to about 2-3 seconds an image instead of the 5 seconds the template is forcing me to use?
    You can only set the duration of a slide to less than 5 seconds, if you are using a theme, were the transitions between slides can be disabled or controlled - so  you would be restricted to the "Classic" theme or the "Ken Burns" theme. All other themes need at least two seconds for the transitions and three seconds to actually show the photo.
    You can set the Ken Burns Theme to a very short time for the transitions and to add the "Antique" photo effect to selected slides, like this:

  • Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

    Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

    The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
    If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.

  • U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

    u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

    Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
    Try the following:
    Repair permissions & restart.
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
    QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
    Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

  • I can't run activity monitor application. It just processes with the multicolored disc spinning, but does not open.

    I can't run activity monitor application. It just processes with the multicolored disc spinning, but does not open.  It also won't close without using "Force Quit." When I access it in Force Quit it's listed as not responding. I am getting the messase that my start-up disc is full, but I can't assess the status without using the activity monitor app. Thanks for any assistance you can give. -F.J.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your hard drive is full, you have to delete files. Open Finder, search in all your user's folders and delete files that you don't need, or move them to an external drive.
    When the hard drive is full, OS X works slow and applications may freeze, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the reason why Activity Monitor isn't working

  • Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install?  This seems like a big error by Adobe.

    I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro.  No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers.  I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use.  When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message.  What is the point of a universal player that is not universal?  It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8.  Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

    Where are you getting Flash from?
    Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

  • Hard Drive flashes but doesn't open.

    I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but my Mad Dog external hard drive (practically new) flashes when turned on, but does not open. Any idea where or how I can check this out because of the important information on that drive? I tried disk utility but it doesn't show up there either.

    A bad cable is definitely a possibility.
