Windows Store App won't open

I have a Nokia Lumia 530 and my windows store doesn't open at all for about a month now. It shows the following message:
"There has been a problem completing your request. Try agian later".
It also provides an error code whoch is the following: 805a8011
I just wanted to know if there is a solution for this problem, before calling up the windows help service.
Thank You...

Hi, Hemmellows. Welcome to the Microsoft Mobile Community. You can check if you have sufficient storage on your phone by going to Settings > storage sense. If you have enough space and the error still appears, you may need to reset the phone to factory default. Just go to Settings > about & then tap reset your phone. Make sure to create a backup to avoid data loss. Let us know how it goes.

My store app won't open

I tried updating to 8.1 a couple months ago but since my computer wouldn't connect to the internet I decided to cancel the update. Ever since then my store app won't open, or any of the other apps for that matter. I tried clearing the windows store cache
but a message just pops up saying that it can't find PurgeCaches. And when I ran the app troubleshooter it says that security setting have been changed but it resolved the issues, but I still have the same problem. There isn't an error message that pops up
or anything, it just spins and goes back to the start menu.

Hi,
For this issue,how did you clear Windows store cache?
If you want to clear Windows store cache,you should use WSReset.exe command.
If the isseu still persists,please Re-register the Store App:
Open CMD by running as administrator, and type following command to re-register the Store App:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
In addition, I would like to share the following article with you:

App store app won't open

Since last night, I have a weird problem on my iPad. The App Store app on my iPad won't open. I.e. it will start up (and it has enough time to actually connect to iTunes store and find that updates are available), but then it immediately takes me to iTunes app before I can interact with it. That way, I can neither update apps from my iPad nor buy new ones directly.
Oddly enough, this only happens with my UK account; my German and US accounts work fine, and it also works normally on my iPhone 4, and until now it never caused problems.
I've synced the iPad several times with my Mac, I've restarted it, I've signed out an in again into my iTunes account from within the iTunes app, still the same behaviour.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any tips?

I just got the same problem on my iPhone 3G after trying to update Skype. I was logged into UK account and it came up with the usual [Account not valid for store] message, instead of opening the proper store as usual and allowing me to login with US account, the app store just started redirecting to itunes. And the update was stuck. After 2 reboots I was able to use Skype again, but the App store is still broken. Tried the same thing with logining in and out, but can't get to the store with my UK or US account. Did a resync to the computer as well and same issue, contemplating a restore now....

Reboot your 5S. It's just 5 minutes to make iTunes Store work again.

App Store apps won't open

The apps I installed Friday worked fine over the weekend but now, when I press any of the installed app icons on the Home screen, it switches to the app and then immediately switches back.
These things do this: Epocrates Rx, Google Mobile Web, Pandora, Weatherbug, even purchased apps. I basically can't open any of them.
These work fine: the original iPhone apps, and apps that are basically links to a Safari web page, like the original Zagat.
As I say, this just started Sunday, it's been working fine up to now.
I tried resetting the phone (not the complete restore...yet, but by holding the top button and home button down), and resynching. No improvement.

Like you I downloaded Epocrates and initially it did open. I then downloaded 18 more apps and installed them and now no new apps will open. They start to open then quit and return me to the home screen. I restarted my iPhone 3 times and restored it twice to no avail. I am running Tiger 10.4.11 and right now I am upgrading to Leopard. I tried resynching using a direct connection to the iPhone with the original USB cable. I then removed all the new apps and reloaded only Epocrates and the Netter Atlas and still no luck. All the original Apple apps work fine. My next trick is to disconnect all the external Firewire and USB devices and try again with a RESTORE under Leopard with a direct USB cable connection to the iPhone. I'll post the outcome. P.S. my son downloaded 16 apps/games to his same generation iPhone using his Intel Mac and has had NO problem. I asked the people at the Apple store about this and they admitted other employees are having a similar problem and no one can figure it out yet. I will try the Genius Bar if nothing else works but the next appt is in 3 days.

[Forum FAQ] Go to Start Screen/Desktop when closing Windows Store App

After install Windows 8.1 Update 1, you will notice these things set by default even on touchscreen laptops and desktops:
Windows 8.1 now boots directly to the desktop.
Closing Windows Store Apps and go to desktop instead of Start Screen.
Besides option “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” since Windows 8, another new option in Taskbar Properties “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is used to control closing app behavior.
Features of "Show Windows Store app on taskbar"
When the setting is checked, all of the Windows Store apps that are currently running will display on taskbar. You can easily switch between Windows Store apps and your desktop and its applications through the taskbar. For mouse users,
you can also access the taskbar within a Windows Store app. Just move the mouse cursor to the button of the screen, the taskbar pops up.
When the setting is unchecked,
Windows Store apps have no minimize button, only Close button
Windows Store apps that are open are not visible on Taskbar
Windows Store apps can still be pinned to the taskbar
How do these two options work for closing app behavior?
Modern app and Taskbar setting
OFF
ON
Boot to desktop setting
OFF
Close goes to Start
Close reveals the app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
ON
Close goes to desktop
Close reveals the app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
Know why “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” does not work when “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is checked on
As MironV mentioned in the
thread, Windows 8.1 Update is designed to introduce a number of changes for mouse and keyboard users that would help them use and switch between Windows Store apps alongside their familiar desktop applications. A lot of these changes only made sense when
combined together, so they are toggled by one setting, which is “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar.” This is usually enabled together with the first setting as a complimentary set of improvements for desktop users. When the setting is enabled, Windows
Store apps are intended to feel more like regular maximized applications living on the desktop, though they are full screen only. For example, when you launch apps from Start, they appear on the taskbar until they are closed. You can also minimize them or
switch between them by invoking the taskbar.
Please understand that unchecking the “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" setting has no effect on close and minimize behavior when the “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar” setting is checked, since
they are controlling two independent things. If you tend to use only one Windows Store app at a given time, it may seem like we’re not respecting the setting by going to the desktop.
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but on my desktop (using mouse and keyboard only) I like to have my Start screen as my main screen. To ensure this I made sure to uncheck the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop" box and
check the "Show Start on the display I'm using when I press the Windows Logo key" box. I also really like having the task bar appear at the bottom even when I'm using a modern app. Based on the settings I've chosen (i.e., boxes I've checked or not checked),
I would expect to be taken back to the start screen and not the desktop whenever I close an app. From what I've read from your response and from others in this thread, in order to accomplish this function (i.e., closing an app and going directly to the
start screen) I need to uncheck the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" setting. By doing this I get the functionality I was looking for when the apps are closed and I get sent to the start screen. However, I am now not able to see the taskbar
when I'm in a modern app or when I'm on the start screen. This seems counterintuitive/confusing as many have mentioned. Not to mention it creates an additional step for users to get back to the Start screen.
All I want to do is (1) use my start screen as my main screen, (2) see the taskbar when running whatever app I'm using (e.g., modern), and (3) go back to my start screen (and not the desktop) when I close an app. It would only make sense that I should
get these results if I leave the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" box checked and the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" box unchecked; but unfortunately this is NOT the case. I really hope that
an update fixing this is coming sooner rather than later because this is really annoying.

App Store version won't open. "Warning. The Library in "Users/me/Pictures/A

App Store version won't open. When I click on the icon, I get the following pop-up. "Warning. The Library in "Users/me/Pictures/aperture library.aplibrary" cannot be upgraded" and then an option to quit. So the App does not even launch. I deleted and re-downloaded it and the same happens. It is a new 15" Mac pro, all software up to date. I use iPhoto for all my existing photos, located in the Pictures folder on the hard drive (all default settings). Help please appreciated.

Thank you. That did it, but now when I have imported from iPhoto library, all my pictures are coming out with patches of Blue or Red (a bit like when you are selecting areas for instant alpha, or when looking for blown out areas of a photo (I am no pro as you can tell). This is the case on most photos (around 9000). Could you help here too?
Thanks,

Store button on music app won't open? Any suggestions?

Store button on music app won't open? Any suggestions?

This is what I did:
1a. Podcasts app deleted from the iPhone. Doesn't show on any of the home screens on the iPhone. The button next to the Podcasts app in iTunes says "Install". Synching the iPhone with iTunes generates the message "The Podcasts app is not installed on 'Maggie's iPhone 4', so you will not be able to play podcasts on your iPhone"
1b. Clicked the "Install" button for the Podcasts app in iTunes. It now displays "Will Install"
1c. Clicked "Apply" in iTunes to start iPhone sync. iTunes shows "Copying 1 of 1: Podcasts"
1d. Podcasts app icon is shown correctly on one of the iPhone home screens. Previously, the Podcast app icon was a generic placeholder icon.
1e. Resyched iPhone and launched Podcasts app. Everything now working properly.
2 & 3. Didn't have to perform these steps, which implies that earlier suggestions contributed to the fix.
Thanks for your help!

Image file can't be opened by windows store app if the file is in the Ext4's external hard disk.

My question is described below:
I have two disks, external hard disk and removable disk. They are formatted with EXT4.
I put the same image in the disks, and use Ext2Fsd to mount the disks.
I open the file in win8, and it will default open by the windows store app : photos.
It will be success to open if the file is in the Ext4's removable disk.
It will be failed to open if the file is in the Ext4's external hard disk.
I don't know why it will be failed to open if the file is in the Ext4's external hard disk.
Does anyone have similar experiences?

Hi hatasum,
Thanks for posting!
Base on my experience, if installed Ext2Fsd, we can read the ext4 file system on windows system. But Which version of Ext2Fsd did you use? From my experience, Ext2Fsd is not spported fine about windows 8 version. Please refer to this software official
website (http://www.ext2fsd.com/ ) . I suggest you could post this issue to the Ext2Fsd discussion forum ( such as
http://sourceforge.net/p/ext2fsd/discussion/143329/thread/7f262ad0/ )for better help.
Thanks for your understanding.

Thread response from msdn

Hi,
If you want to open an excel file by a windows store app. There is no direct API in windows store app can handle excel file. You will need to find a third party component. But
if you want to launch a file into its default handler, please see
Launcher.LaunchFileAsync API. And you can refer to the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh779671.aspx
private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
StorageFolder storageFolder =
Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile file =
await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("56.xlsx");
if (file != null)
// Launch the retrieved file
var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file);
if (success)
// File launched
else
// File launch failed
else
// Could not find file

My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

Try:
Reset the iOS device (no data will be lost). Press and hold the Home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. See if the problem persists after the device reboots (it might take a while).
Download any free app, and then see if any of the other apps, after being re-downloaded, will open.
Good luck!

Publish my windows store app, but not until I'm 18?

Hello,
I am about finished with my first Windows Store app :-) and I went to get a developer account so I can publish the app (I am even willing to let go of $50 for initially publishing a free app), and it said "You must be 18 years old to have a Windows
Store developer account." :-( It said this because I am 17, but I want to clarify here. Are you saying that everyone under 18 is completely locked out of app sharing? Since the Windows Store is the only means of distribution, it is surprisingly inaccessible.
I am not even submitting a paid app yet, so I don't even need to worry about direct bank deposits for getting paid. I'm a bit lucky because my birthday is only 6 months away, but what if there are 15 or 16 year-olds that want to release their app to the world?
I think you should have a type of youth account or something. For example, (if you are under 18 only) it would be free to create, and you can only publish free apps. This seems like the only truly fair way to make up for the monopolistic distribution, not
to mention help the entire Windows 8 app ecosystem.
I seriously don't know what problem there would be with people under 18 publishing their apps. I even work at my community college as a math tutor! Could the restriction be lowered to 16 years old?

Listen, I love Windows 8 and the new app platform, but this requirement is ridiculous, and it needs to get fixed for the good of the platform. Already, only 33% of developers are even willing to develop Windows 8 apps, whereas there are some 16 and 17 year-olds
(like ME) that are shunned out of the process. This is unacceptable.
Alex, I understand your feelings on this, but this is absolutely the same on any other platform. It is also the same for any legal aspect of starting a business. When you start selling or distributing applications through the Windows store, or
via the App Store, or Play... you are exposing not only yourself, but the respective operators of those systems, to all sorts of liability and in order to clearly define rights and responsibilities, contracts are required. For example, you have to sign
a contract that in part attests to the fact that you understand and agree that you won't use your apps as a means of doing or promoting anything illegal. You also attest that you won't rampantly steal content that belongs to others, etc.
The problem is that any such contract you sign does not carry the weight of law; under the law, you cannot enter into a contract and have that contract be binding. Any 'promise' you make under such a contract is thus automatically void and the contract
provides no protection at all to the other party arising out of any action you could potentially take. Not only that, it exposes them to potential liability arising out of allowing a minor to participate in contractually obligated proceedings knowing
those proceedings are null and void.
You would not be able to open a bank account or obtain a credit card without the assistance of a parent or guardian. This is no different.
The easy answer, as has been suggested already, is to have your parent or guardian sign up for a developer account and sign any necessary contracts, and then develop away.

Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. The normal location is Pictures\Lightroom. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Then you should be able to start Lightroom again, and Lightroom will begin building and new previews folder. Do not delete anything else.
