Why do my apps stop working

Hi, can anyone help, I have only just got the iphone 4s and after 2 weeks of no trouble my apps stopped working today, i have tried the restart etc and am now running a restore, i am not overly technical so am doing what friends have suggested, but does anyone know why this is happening? if i touch an app it looks like its going to load but then straight away goes back to the home screen. any help would be appreciated.

i tried that too and deleted all the recent ones, i then downloaded a new one which oddly fixed the problem for a while but now the problem has returned, deleted the app i downloaded but nothing works again now.

Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for. Why did this happen?

I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day. I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game. I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again. I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
EDIT
Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again. So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
I have to keep pushing on either one of the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.
Gameloft needs to do an update.

Why do some Apps stop working after synching?

Each time I synch my iPhone 4S with iTunes, a number of recently added apps won't work. They only "shudder" but won't open. They are however, on the list with the other open apps.
Also, My phone keeps telling me that 7 apps didn't not synch and that I should refer to my ITunes for more info. Can't find anything...???

MESSAGING app STOPPED WORKING

Why has this app stopped working i have only had the phone for two days
i can`t send any messages because it keeps saying closing down

This is a problem that has been plaguing the Z2 phone too, and Sony isn't doing anything about it.
It happens as well with contacts and Android process. they all sut down making the phone unavailable for a small amount of time.
I sometimes wonder if they can actually sell a product that has this problem and not disclaim it, as it makes for a bad user experience.
Head over to the Z2 forums and see how many complaints there are on this, quite a few!
Customer support advise you to restore the phone, backup everything, and then go through the apps one by one to see which one is doing this... How about they issue a fix and make their flagship phone work properly?! That would be better.

Why did my Creative cloud desktop app stop working!

Why did my Creative cloud desktop app stop working! Ask me to remove and install it with a new download only for that to not fix or work! Sending me around in circles! Very frustrating and annoying!

my Desktop cloud stopped working, and error messages asked me to re-install it, after uninstalling the original one. The new download loads and gets to half way before disappearing ad nothing happening? back to square one. Tried re-starting and re downloading = same...... .

Why every half hour or so does my iPad camera app stop working?

Every like half hour or so my iPad camera app stops working. I tap and It and a blank screen appears. If I turn my iPad off and on again it works fine.

There are any number of reasons why that might be happening. An app confict, low memory (that's not supposed to happen but ...), so it's hard to say for sure what the issue could be.
You could try closing the camera app until you need again, and see if that makes any difference. Unless you really need to get to the camera app every half hour for whatever reason, there should be no problem in quitting the app.
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.
Then just launch the app again when you need it.

Kobo eReading App stopped working?

Greetings, could someone explain to me why the pre-installed Kobo eReading app stopped working on my Blackberry Playbook? I was enjoying the app and had purchased several books that are now missing from my library. It stopped working five days ago since then I have sent two messages to Kobo customer service but have not received a reply. There is nothing mentioned on the Kobo website about this problem either. This is very frustrating!

There is a prior thread about this.
Please search the boards prior to posting.

42SL417U Youtube app stopped working

Greetings, A few days ago, the Youtube app stopped working. The logo comes up, but the progress bar that normally shows loading progress never starts. I have tried unplugging the TV for several hours, but that's about it. Are there any other steps I should take? Netflix appears to work fine. Thanks.

Same exact thing happened to my TV (same model as yours) at the same time it happened to you. And YouTube still does not work. I was hoping it was an issue with YouTube that they would fix, but it's been three weeks and nothing has changed, nor can I find any answer as to why this happened. It's a real bummer, because I used the YouTube app on the TV all the time.

Fixed spooler subsystem app stopped working

Hi All,
I had "spooler subsystem app stopped working..." and found solution that may help you to fix your case.
I don't know some how vista turn off LDP port after installing new printer driver and leaves only Internet client port only. That why the printer spooler service failed to start. Solution is:
1. Go to Programs and Features in Control panel > click Turn Windows features on or off
2. click + sign of Print services
3. Select LPD and LPR. You should remove Internet Printing Client. > restart your PC to ensure there is no error of spooler service.
4. Add your printer driver again.
It worked for me. Let try.
Chan

Usually the driver crashes and preempts the print spooler. the famous HP LJ 1020 made an expert on printing, because the driver is faulty. read on... IF you have the HP LaserJet 1020 then the fix is found all the way down on this reply.

Mail app stopped working after upgrade to Mavericks

Dear All,
I have updated from Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro 3,1, 256SSD) to Mavericks, and mail app stopped working.
That means - when I click the icon - the app does not work.
I can see that it downloads mail - as when I click it I receive notifcation that it has downloaded some mail, however I cannot open window. Sometimes I manage to open it, but it is totally unresponsive - I cannot change or click anything in it.
I have tried repairing disk permissions but without any success.
Moreover if I run mail app and try to click "new message" from the top bar, the window that appears is somewhat mixed with my wallpaper backround (I can see fragments of it).
Please help me, as I had there a few gigs of precious mails that I don't want to lose...
Thank you in advance!
Olek

Do a backup.
Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
Copy the line below.
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

My email app. stopped working. It doesn't open any accounts

My email app. stopped working. It doesn't open any accounts. It used to but just opens up a blank screen. Any suggestions?
Also Safari doesn't open up anything either, but used to.

try restarting the app
Normally double tap the 'home' button
all the active apps will pop up at the bottom
hold an app
once the '-' symbol appears release then find the 'hung' apps by scrolling and click the '-' symbol
click the home key
then click on mail/safari and see if that helps

Unfortunately, this is not an unfamiliar problem on Windows 7. Did this occur after a recent Windows update?

Apps Stopped Working and go back to the home page

Today suddenly my apps stopped working. When i would press them it would come up for a few secs and then go back to the home page. So i deleted all my apps on my ipod and figured i can dl again from my itunes. When i tried syncing the apps i got the msg: Some apps(all of them) were not synced because this computer is not authorized blah blah. I can Sync my songs/photos/vids fine. Can anyone help?

From the message you need to authorize the computer for the account that purchased the apps. See:
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
ALso make sure the iPod is also sign into that account.
You can also redownload the apps directly to the iPod if you have iOS 4.3 or later, see:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

reinstalling software doesn't help.
Solved!

Hey Alexander_S
How are you doing today?
Remove the application, connect the device to Nokia suite, go to 'my stuff' where you'll find all your previously installed applications.
Select the one you want and install.

IPhone 4 Apps stop working after sync

Everytime I sync my I phone my downloaded apps will not open. I can correct this by downloading another App but that is a pain. I want to be able to sync my iPhone and not have my app stop working.

I've just noticed the 'more like this' section on the right with similar problems and it appears to be a common problem with iTunes not being authorised so I have now done that and hopefully it'll be fine now. I just opened iTunes then went to store-authorise this computer.
