iPad mini troubles: Apps are crashing and not appearing on the home screen, etc.

[iMore Question]

I have had my iPad mini for a little over a year, but recently I have had various problems with apps.

First, I noticed a crashing. It has grown progressively worse across multiple apps. These apps I have had for a while. I recently had a crash on Facebook, a fairly low demand app.

Also recently, all apps I have downloaded in the past month do not appear on the screen nor will they open from the app store's open function. Yet the store shows that I have downloaded them.

My apps are updated, IOS has already been updated, and I have had no problems until now.

I was told to try restoring it but I would like to get another opinion.

I’d recommend restoring, as well... something has gotten wonky internally...

This happened to me a few weeks ago and the only fix was to restore. My backup worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues since.

Restore it. That is the only solution for your problem of which I'm aware of.

Before you restore make screenshots of your home screens. Hook up to iTunes and go to the apps tab and uncheck sync apps. Perform a sync to remove all apps from the device. Reboot and then sync back just one app. Open the app and see if it crashes. If it doesn't reboot and install all your other apps. If it does then do a restore.

If you don't sync your apps by iTunes then it will be easier to restore.
