Why won't apps open on my iPhone?

Bought an iPhone and am unable to open any of the apps I've downloaded from the App Store. I tap, it appears as if it will open, and then shrinks back again. I tried to sync with my iTunes, removing and then syncing again but nothing works. Help?

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the red slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Why won't iTunes open on my iPhone ?

Hi all,
Every time I try to open the iTunes Store on my phone (5) it just immediately closes again.
I have tried the power off/on and even re synced with my iTunes account but this does not help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone.

Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.
Thanks for your help!

Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1. My other phone still at 6.0.1 is detected just fine.

Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone 4 which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1. My other iPhone 4 is still at 6.0.1 and is detected just fine. Is anyone else having this problem? Everything was working ok before the upgrade and still works except for the detection. Coincidence?

After 4 updates to Xcode it started to connect again. Now it's working fine.

Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
"Bridge's parent application is not active."
Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
Any suggestions.
Cheers

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be? I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

Why won't files open or save in email

I have been trying to open some important files that were emailed and they won't open. I am getting the blue and white pop up asking if I want to open or save and it won't let me do either. It did this the other day and somehow I finally got it open after shutting down the computer. Tried that this time and it won't work. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe. It did not work. There is also an online website I use to complete and upload PDF file documents and it won't work either. What has happened? How do I fix?

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

Why won't files open in the space that the application is assigned to?

I have applications assigned to specific spaces, however, if I am in space 2 and I click to open an Adobe Illustrator (assiged to space 3) file, spaces will send me to space 3 but the file window will open in space 2 (where I was). I have to use F8 to view the spaces and drag it over to the assigend sapce. If i try to work on it in spaces 2 (where it opened) my pallets are blank. Any ideas?

Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

Ting is a "MVNO", a virtual network provider; basically, they're a reseller of Sprint's cellular network, only with way, way, better pricing than basically anyone else. They don't do "contracts", and they don't charge separate fees for everything. So if you had five phones on an account, you'd pay $6/phone, plus a single fee for all the data. No $20-per-line "data plans". If I moved my current six phones (including friends and family) to Ting, I'd pay about 70% less per month for cell service... But I'd have to buy the phones up front. Which I'd do, but I have a couple people who want iPhones, and Apple-or-Sprint (it's not clear which) is not willing to let Ting do them.

Why won`t apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

Why won't apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

We are just users like you. So we can't answer that question. However, there are hundreds of posts about it, so a search of the forum might be enlightening.
The iPhone 4 is four generations out of date. Have you noticed that when any company releases a new product or version of a product it has features that previous versions did not? If it didn't then what would be the point of coming out with a new version?

Why won't App Store won't accept my vanilla visa gift card for payment

Why won't App Store accept vanilla Visa card as payment

I'd call iTunes support and ask them. It's possible that the store is attempting for preauthorization beyond whats on the card (In other words, verifying that the car is worth $50 let's say when the card is only worth $25)

hopefully either iTunes support can help you or can direct you to a better place

Why won't Adobe open a Pdf? Why do I pay for a service that will not open a pdf?

Maybe you could supply us with more details about what exactly you are doing, how you are doing and what you are using to do it.
The reason I say this is because you are in the forum for Adobe Reader which is a FREE application and not a service.
