Why do all my apps never open and return to home screen?

I installed my apps, but now every time I try to open one I am immediately returned to the home screen and can't use anything. Any ideas?

GREAT, thanks for the fix to a bizarre problem that was driving me crazy! You can always count on Apple discussions, can't say the same about this whole "2.0 transition", it's been a bit rough and I can't get push contacts or calendars from MobileMe to work, but I'll give things a couple of days to get back on track.
I had a strong feeling things would be difficult today after the WWDC keynote, particularly the whole push functionality given the myriad of syncing problems we've had to deal with in the previous non-push world

Why does my iPhone 4s stop midstream and return to home screen?

Had my phone checked at genius bar yesterday and they say everything is working just fine. But midstream of different applications, it stops and returns to homescreen. I try turning off and then on again, and it continues to happen, with various applications. Any thoughts? Also not holding charge as I think it should........

Thanks. I am reviewing the apps. I wonder if the number of photos, which is quite large, on the phone could somehow be contributing to faulty operation. I want to get the photos off the phone, but don't want to lose them on the computer. Do I turn off cloud backup from phone? I know this is off subject, but just wondering if this could be part of the problem.

My iPad Air will suddenly quit in the middle of an application and return to home screen.

Can anyone tell me why my iPad Air will suddenly stop in the middle of an application, (usually a game), and return to
my home screen? Thanks

Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

Mail inbox shuts automatically and returns to home screen

Hi everyone,
My iPhone3GS mail inbox displays and even updates for a few seconds then quits automatically to the home screen every time. This only started happening after only 4 days of usage without no apparent reason. I am devastated as I need to send emails on the move. Worked fine for the past 3 days though and I haven't done anything unusual at all.
I have noticed a few threads regarding this issue but I haven't seen any real answers so far.
Can anyone help? Thank you.

Well I had some success in correcting this situation. I have five accts with one of my earthlink accts causing all the problems. I had gone through all the suggested corrections and much more many times over with no success. This last time here is what I did...
1 I deleted the offending acct from my iPhone
2 I reset my iPhone
3 I went into the webmail portion of my earthlink acct and deleted all emails that were not from my contacts list. This included all the junk, spam and returned emails for the first 50 emails. I made sure that at least the first 25 emails (as that is my setting on the iPhone) were clean.
4 I reset my email acct password on the webmail
5 Then restarted my iPhone
6 I added back my offending acct
7 It reloaded the first 25 emails, which were now clean of spam and whatever else might be lurking
This solved it, at least for now. I had previously done all of this many times over, except for the clean out and re-passwording of my email acct. So it would seem that offending emails can cause the iPhone to crash. Maybe it has something to do with the lack of a Junk filter on the iPhone. I don't understand enough of these things to know, but it all works for now. Hope this helps someone.

Contacts cause crash and return to home screen after iOS4 upgrade

After upgrading our iPhone 3GS to iOS4, it crashes when clicking on contacts from the Phone app. The Contacts app itself will not open. This is making it extremely difficult to even use the phone to call anyone.
The same issue is also described in the following forum posts:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12041826&#12041826
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12002288&#12002288

Check Settings > Store and make sure the Apple ID that is shown is the same as the one used to buy the apps in question.
Also, try a Reset (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons).

My photos will not load on the iPhone. Both directly accessing 'Photos' and from 'Camera roll' results in applications shutting down by itself and returning to home screen

Help please

Ighnot, are you jailbroken? Cause I am and I have the same problem except worse. I can't save a single pic, every single time I get the thumbnail grey box with jpg in it and the actual pic is black. Only way I get pic is by zooming in then taking screenshot and I still get the stupid safari toolbox and address bar in the pic

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display. But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close. Any advice... thanks?!

Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

I lost all my contact and all the app are slow and keep closing down

Iphone 4 yesterday my phone coudn't not open app or opening and closing right away.Also the phone shut down by himself,today I lost all my contact

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

Mail app is open and close after sec

When i go to mail i tap the app is open and it is closing in 3 seconds.I can not use mail app at all.Can you help me?I already restore my i phone as the instructions from telephone company support(Vodafone) but the problerm is still exist.I call at Apple support(0080044145417)but this office works from Monday to Friday.

Hi Eric,
the first thing to do is to go under
Hard drive/Users/your home/Library/Mail
and see what you have there.
Unless you had set up your mail program to store what you receive some other place, your e-mails should be there.
Try to Spotlight any file with the extension .emlx
Let me know.

Why do all my word documents open when I open word

why do all my word documents open when I open word

You may have to compare user permissions and privileges in documents to see if there is a presence of odd permissions in the Get Info box available by single-clicking a document's ICON and see this area in each.
How was the application installed? Are you running an Admin account? Have you repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility, or any other routine steps to see what happens next?
There may even be a Console log of events that happen when you open and launch a document stream involving this Word phenomena, in Console utility, on or about the time these events occur. The logs can be amazingly complex, and vary in helpfulness. I use some of them to see what happens and when, or if there is a crash, some can point to hardware vs software sources of problems. Some resident experts in ASC are fairly good at knowing what they mean or how to decipher the system logs from there.
Not sure of the exact cause...
Good luck & happy computing!

I currently have Lion, when I upgrade to Mountain Lion, all my apps, music, videos and other files will be erased?

I currently have Lion, when I upgrade to Mountain Lion, all my apps, music, videos and other files will be erased?

Lion dropped application support for PowerPC. An OS may drop or change what to use to open a file, not the file.
Of course CCC is what many have used for 10 yrs now and it is or will be $20 like SuperDuper - commercial.
Always use something like those in addition to or instead of TimeMachine.

Why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

Hi Peter,
In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?
