Apps won't work after sync and software update

Just syncd my ipod 4. Now FB, games and other apps won't work. The screen just goes blank. Re did the sync and still nothing. I really don't want to restore the settings because I have a lot of info on this pod. What can I do?

Try restarting your iPod by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, if that don't work try double clicking your home button to open your multi-task window hold you finger on the first app until it start to wiggle and the red minus sign shows up in the left corner tap the red minus sign to close all of your open programs.

Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
* I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....

Illustrator tools dropdown is not working after the recent software update

My Illustrator tools dropdown is not working after the recent software update. Any help would much appreciate.

Same problem here. I have a Mac with a recent Yosemite update.

I upgraded to 5.0.1 and now 2 apps won't work. Skype and Pinterest. When i tap them they open and immediately close. I deleted and reinstalled both. What do I do now?

I upgraded to 5.0.5 on my iphone4 and now 2 apps won't work - Skype and Pinterest. When I tap them they open and then immediately close. I have tried turning off my phone and deleting the apps then reinstalling them. They still don't work. What do I try next?

Microsoft Office Apps fail to work after 10.6.7 update

Has anyone else's office apps failed to open after installing the OS update?
This is a brand new iMac only 5 days old using office 2011 with current updates.
Regards.
Mike.

After doing some Internet research and speaking with a second-level Apple tech, together we came up with the following solution.
Shut down, then start in safe-mode (hold shift key while re-starting). This will clear the font cache and re-build it. After doing this, when I started Word 2004 it took some time, but it showed the following fonts as corrupt: APC Courier, Bastion, Chicago TU, Courier TU, Latinski - and indicated they should be removed. Word then started up even though I just clicked OK to those messages and didn't remove them. I then re-started Word and it came up normally even though those fonts are still in the font book. By the way, I have downloaded the freeware app "Fontnuke-1.17," but haven't used it yet. There is a shareware app, "Fontfinagler," which may also be useful if safe mode doesn't work for you.

Apache won't work after 10.5.2 update

Apache won't work, after I installed the 10.5.2 update.
When I type the following in the terminal: sudo apachectl -t
I get a error:
/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 81: 711 Segmentation fault $HTTPD $ARGV
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
thank you!

I too had the same problem after the auto update 10.5.2 - specifically the 2008-002 update broke my machine in a number of areas.
I downloaded the package and ran it, this seems to have mopped up the problems caused my the first run.
The update is located at:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/
Look for 2008-002 (Leopard) it's about 50MB.
Hope this works for you too.

HT1222 iLife apps fail to launch after running latest Software Update

Hello,
I ran the Software Update (running Snow Leopard on a MBP) on Feb 6 which updated Remote Desktop (never use it) and also had a Security Update 2012-001 v1.1
Used Mail and Safari successfully after that but noticed Opera failing to launch. Thought it was an issue with Opera so didn't pay it much mind.
Tonight (Feb 7) I wanted to off load photos from my phone and discovered that iPhoto wouldn't launch and neither will iTunes. I haven't seen any other discussions related to this, but if there is one, please point me in that direction. Cheers.

Miriam,
I read the selection in MacFixit and went through the steps that they suggested.
I even downloaded MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10PPC.dmg and when I went to re-install it the program Installer quit unexpectedly in the same manner that Safari, Mail, and Software Update did.
I also noted that when I tried to start either Safari or Mail using the terminal (I don't have much expertise in this area) they stated that there was a segmentation fault
Here is what was on the terminal screen:
Last login: Tue Jul 17 12:28:25 on ttyp1
/Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer; exit
Welcome to Darwin!
wilbur-purdues-imac-g5:~ wilbur$ /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer; exit
Segmentation fault
logout
[Process completed]
It seems that I can install other programs using Installer, but I cannot do the upgrade. Maybe I have the wrong file.
Thanks for the support so far.

Imessage feature not working after 5.1 software update on iphone

After the latest software update (5.1), text messages that were once blue (indicating imessage) went back to the green color. What gives?

Try doing a reset on your network settings. I found the solution at TekShot5 - iMessage fix

My kindle and google apps on my iPad are not working after most recent software update

After latest software update on my iPad mini I cannot get the Kindle, google or Netflix apps to work?

have you gone to the app store program to check if there are updates for those apps to work with newer versions of ios ?

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Apps don't work after sync

After syncing iPhone to iTunes (on Mac), I can not use any of my downloaded apps until I download a new one. I think this has to do with the fact that iTunes is linked to [email protected] while the iphone insists on using [email protected] If this is the case Apple really needs to fix it to allow users to use mac.com on their iPhones. I've had a .mac account since the service came out and do not plan on telling all my acquaintances to use me.com now. I know mac.com will work for incoming mail (dns points to the same server) but the whole thing is silly. Anyway, is anyone else having the same issue?

I have not experienced the same.
I've had a .Mac account since 2004 with my .Mac email address used for my iTunes account since that time, and my iPhone does not insist on using at me.com instead since the change to MobileMe. For those with a .Mac account, when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail application using the MobileMe account preset and entering their .Mac email address, the account should be created accordingly, not switched to the @me address to appear as the sending email address, or switched to the @me address for the iTunes account if iTunes on their computer is logged in with their @mac address when syncing their iPhone with iTunes.
Apple hasn't prevented using your .Mac email address with the iPhone's Mail application, or with the Mail.app on your Mac, or with any email client on any computer or device.

All apps have stopped working after syncing with itunes

Hello everyone,
Extremely frustrated to find that after plugging my iphone into my comp for the first time since i've had it (about 3 months). I knew I had a good reason for avoiding plugging my iphone into the comp, because I have 2 other ipods and hate the way itunes tries to take over and do everything. No, i'm quite happy to manual manage the files on it. Especially when irritating things like this happen.
So I plugged it in for the first time on Saturday, and guess what, now NONE of my apps work anymore. Seems to be a common problem that no one at apple cares to admit. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8294502) this old thread details the problem I am having. Now the apps start to open and close and dont work. Awesome.
I would've been more than happy to eat humble pie if i'd done ANYTHING dodgy to this iphone, but I haven't, and apples OWN device controlling application destroyed the functionality of the device, which I now have to figure out how to fix myself. Of course, apple wouldn't have any documentation on this issue.
Its sad really as up till now Ive had a flawless experience with the device and enjoyed everything about it, mostly how it works so well and everything is easy to do. Extremely irritated about this - will be telling everyone who cares about this experience.
Now, apple, or more like apples forum goers, how do i fix what itunes has done???

Three days and no response, 3 others mentionining same problem.
Apple clearly do not care about customers or have any interests in bug fixing their own software. This is clearly a widespread problem which has nothing to do with user software, the bug is in iTunes and apple dont even care to admit it or fix it. It doesn't even look like they monitor their support forums at all!
I was considering buyign a macbook. Ha ha ha. Good luck. Not anymore.
Have even called support and Apple are USELESS and I will not forget this experience, as will my friends.
My advice? Get an android phone... we all know that it will only take a month or two till google gets a much bigger app library. Hey and guess what - they'll let you maintain your phone manually if you want, and dont force you through some stupid clunky, resource intensive, bug filled program which makes everything stop working. Exactly what it did to me on first connection.

Apps won't work after iOS5 upgrade

After iOS5 upgrade, I cant start any apps but Apples own on my iPhone 4. What should I do?

Make sure you're signed into iTunes with your original Apple ID (the one that you used to purchase the apps)
Then Sync (and make sure 'Sync Apps' is checked)
Cheers!

Mail app has stopped working after 10.9.4 update on July 4, 2014

Mail is totally dead. It does not connect to the internet. Each of my email accounts has the exclamation triangle next to them. No new peripherals or devices or USB connections were added after the update. The system worked before the update, and the same system stopped working (Mail app so far) after the update.

In your opinion Apple was doing a garbage job, when in fact it was Intego that trashed your Mac. That's all it is capable of doing.
But now I have no virus protection.
This is a common misconception. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage convey no benefit and as you found out, can simply prevent your Mac from working as it is designed to work.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.
