[iPhone] Apps not working?? in All Things Macintosh http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21003537 en Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:31:49 EDT Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:31:49 EDT Re: [iPhone] Apps not working?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21088246 mouseferatu : My backups are still slower than I would like, but I am not having the app problems that I did, and the sync process is completing.

Not sure why the difference, but the phones that I have been messing around with are all synced and seem to work appropriately.

Updating to iTunes 8 on the Mac appears to resolve the problem... the phones sync fine with all the apps, at least in my case.

Edit: Just finished the iTunes updates on both Vista and XPP boxes. Both work OK- no BSOD, no failure to finish the sync with the apps all there.
No, it does not resolve the issue. Hopefully the new software update due out on Friday will resolve it. Again, iTunes 8 does not resolve this issue. I experienced this issue yesterday.

I also hope the new software update speeds up the application installation process.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21086970 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 09:45:12 EDT Re: [iPhone] Apps not working?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21086222 mouseferatu : Updating to iTunes 8 on the Mac appears to resolve the problem... the phones sync fine with all the apps, at least in my case.

Just downloaded iTunes 8 and everything came back to normal ie. all apps work!

Thanks for the update!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21083475 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:36:31 EDT Re: [iPhone] Apps not working?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21080648 rugby : The problem with doing this is that you lose any data stored in the apps you are deleting.

My iPHone is completely jacked up, every time I hook it up to my computer it asks if I want to restore it from the last backup. The phone itself works just fine, I just cannot sync it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21080648 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:01:49 EDT Re: [iPhone] Apps not working?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21080542 ifarrell : Did you try deleting the 3rd Party Apps from your Phone and in iTunes, downloading them in iTunes only again and Syncing them back to the iPhone?

It's been strongly suggested to download apps only in Itunes and not directly on the phone. The other suggestion is to remove some of the apps you don't need. LastFM, VisualRadio and Mobile Pod seem to be some of the apps that are causing problems(phone crashes while in use).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21080078 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:27:36 EDT Re: [iPhone] Apps not working?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21079825 mouseferatu : The AT&T store will be less helpful than calling Apple, IMO.

AT&T only provides the connection, it does not deal with the "guts" of the phone or the OS, for want of a better way of putting it.

I am asking simply because none of the four units here will currently sync using iTunes on a Windows box...

As stated, all will sync on the Mac, two correctly, and two to factory app status.

I spent quite a while messing around with these...

The three 3G phones and the original phone are all associated with the same Mac Pro. They have the same apps, and are up-to-date on the OS.

Two updated all apps OK, two of the 3G's were useless even after soft reset.

Complete restore allowed the native apps to work, but not the third party.

I've read reports online that some people have luck with just restarted their iPhones (as I did), or reinstalling the iPhone OS via iTunes "Restore" button. Though I've also heard that there are some people who can't get any of the apps to work at all. Even after multiple restores.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21071082 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:29:24 EDT Re: [iPhone] Apps not working?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21070258 spinJR :
i had this happen yesterday for the first time. all apps except the iphone native apps.

i fixed it, here is how:

deleted ALL third party apps on the phone
soft reset
resync with itunes. you will see all the apps 'reinstall'
they work now.

I had Apple cancel one and kept the other. I then had to do a complete delete and reinstall of all my apps. Apple refunded me for the apps I had purchased on the other account.

It was a pain but my iPhone is working now with minimal crashes.

One other thing to look out for, updating apps wirelessly from the iPhone! If your connection is lost and the update gets hosed you will brick your phone. I also had this happen last week.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21004667 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:50:30 EDT Re: [iPhone] Apps not working?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21004564 DoLeMiTe : I had the same problem over the weekend with 3rd party apps not working at all.

I had that happen a few times. I do a reset (power and home button together). If that doesn't work I delete and download them again.

What version firmware?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003596 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:18:43 EDT [iPhone] Apps not working?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003537 BBR_InsUW :
