Why won't my free apps open, they only work when I download another one why is that

When I download free apps they work but then when I turn my iPad off and come to use the free apps again they don't open unless I download another app how can I get them to always work?

According to the website....
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
Why you are continuing to see this behavior, I can't explain. Try signing out of your ID, restart the iPad and sign in again.
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in

  • All of my downloaded Apps I have been using for over a year, none will open, they only flash when the icon is touched.

    All of my downloaded apps will not open, how do I correct this? The same thing happened a few days ago, but when I received an alert from the sport app, all the games opened up and I could use them. This morning they are all closed again. Everything else that's on the ipod is working fine.

    - Reset your iPod, nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Make sure all the apps are up to date.
    - Download/install a new app
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod

  • ZTE Open C Accelerometer only works when phone is upside down?

    I just received my new ZTE Open C and when I tried a few games, like Sketchbook Squad, for example, I found that the accelerometer control ONLY works if I hold my phone upside down.
    Does anyone know if this may be an OS related issue relating to calibration, or maybe it's a defective device?

    Hi bugninja,
    I also tried SketchBook Squad and it's working correctly on my device.
    Can you please list *all* the apps that you are having problems with? Please specify which of those apps the accelerometer do not seem to work at all, and which of those apps the accelerometer only works when the phone is upside down. This information will help greatly in investigating this issue.
    Please also let us know the Build ID of your ZTE Open C device. To find the Build ID, go into '''Settings''' > '''Device Information''' > '''More Information'''.
    Thanks,
    - Ralph

  • My colon/semicolon and apostrophe only work when they want to =[ please help!

    They only work when they want to. The keys starting doing it about a year after I got the Mac. Please let me know what can be done.

    Hey there jeremy,
    It sounds like your Volume buttons aren't working correctly and you are also not getting sound from your built in speaker. I would start by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    Don't know if there is an option make the download window stay up, but you can bring it back with Ctrl+J then right-click on the download to open the folder it was downloaded to.

  • HT204266 I hav e downloaded some free apps from itune store. When I try to install in my ipod it doesn't go through. it can not install in my ipod touch.

    I have downloaded some free apps from Itune store. but when i sync those apps in my ipod touch it dosn't apear in my ipod. i can't use that apps. what should i do? help please.

    Are the apps compatible with your model iPod and its iOS version? You say you have a iOS 4.2. That implies a 2G iPod. Many, many apps now require iOS 4.3 or later or a 3G or later iPod.
    Also do you have Restrictions turned on that would d prevent installing those apps? Settings>General>Restrictions.

    Since this is an app-related issue, you may get better results solving your problem by contacting the app developer, or searching their help/FAQ pages.

  • Torch 9800 touch screen only works when slid open.

    Hello everyone, this is my 1st post but I've been lurking the forum for some time. I'm running a Torch 9800 on AT&T right now on v6.0.0.600
    This is what's happened with my phone: as the subject notes, my touch screen only seems to work when I slide open the phone.
    What I've tried so far that doesn't work: rolling back software, rolling the software forward again, hard resets, soft resets, adjusting intervals for the touch screen.
    The weird part is that I saw an older thread that had the exact opposite problem(touch screen only worked when the phone was slid closed). I have a level/ruler app for my phone and it's showing that the phone knows when it's tilted/angle/orientation. I've also closed the phone, opened it slightly (about the width of my thumb) and it stays horizontally oriented + I'm able to use the touch keyboard that way.
    Anybody have a suggestion as to what I can try next to fix this? I haven't gone so far as to just go and get a 9810 yet, but i'm considering it.

    Thanks for the post.
    Has it in anyway fallen or pressed hard at any point? It could be the belt, which would just need you to go with it to a certified repair center and get it secured.

  • I purchased an auto-renewing magazine subscription through a Newsstand app on my iPad. I have downloaded the iPhone version of that app. Can I now read the magazine on my iPhone, too, without having to purchase another subscription to the same magazine?

    I purchased an auto-renewing magazine subscription through a Newsstand app on my iPad. I have downloaded the iPhone version of that app. Can I now read the magazine on my iPhone, too, without having to purchase another subscription to the same magazine?

    What does the description for the magazine and/or the magazine's website say ? Some allow you to download on more than one device, but some magazines/newspapers only allow you one download of each copy.

    If you want an unlocked iPhone then you have to wait until unlocked iPhones are sold, yes.

  • Why does Do Not Disturb only work when the iPhone is locked?

    I've been wanting for awhile now a way to easily turn off all notification alerts and incoming calls while keeping cellular data and wi-fi on so I can use my phone in peace without gimping my wireless connections, and even though iOS 6 as a whole seems awesome to me, I'm disappointed Do Not Disturb only works when the iPhone is locked.

    Was just wondering if other people felt the same way I do and start a discussion about it so maybe that with more people talking about it, Apple would pay attention to it more. People complaining about how calls and alerts were lighting up their screen at night seems to be some inspiration to why Apple added Do Not Disturb in the first place. Didn't know I was doing anything in violation of the Terms of Use so sorry about that.

    You should always have your apps on your computer.  If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
    Sorry.
    Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models
