Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

    iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app?  Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility.  If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

  • Brand new ipod Touch (8GB) does not work with DHCP

    I have a brand new iPod Touch (8GB) that will not work using DHCP. No matter what I do (reset router, reset ipod) the DHCP still doesn't work. I can manually setup an IP/Gateway/netmask/etc. and it works but I really need the DHCP to work if at all possible. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G. I was able to use an old Linksys wireless router and the touch gets an IP, etc. with no problems but I can not get my Touch to work with the WRT54G. Any ideas?

  • Ipod touch home button not working after upgrade

    Hi,
    The home button on my 1st generation ipod touch stopped working after upgrading the software a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone else come across this issue? Is it possible to downgrade the software? I have tried restoring the ipod with no luck.
    Thanks

    HI there,
    thanks for the reply. Tried both of what you suggested, also tried the home button thing only working while plugged in with two computers and two different leads which is why I suspect is an operating system thing.
    I may try downgrading the operating system next, just have to find a copy of an old one somewhere.
    Cheers,
    Martin

  • IPod Touch Apps don't work after connecting to PC!

    Hi, can anyone help please?
    I have an iMac at home and a PC at work, so use my iPod Touch between the two.
    However, after I've connected my Touch to the work PC, pretty much every application doesn't work, and they will only work again once I've connected it back at home to my iMac!
    Whatever application I open will start loading, then after about 3 seconds it just boots me back to the homepage...
    It's driving me mad as there's no logical reason for it that I can see! The only things that still work are the music, video, photo and itunes tabs at the bottom!
    However, once I've reconnected to the Mac at home they all work fine! And continue to work fine until the next time I connect to the work PC!
    Any thoughts or fixes gratefully received!

    Is the other machine "authorized" at the iTunes store? If not, it's probably overwriting the authorization of the home machine.

  • IPhone 4 apps no longer work after upgrade to OS 5.0.1

    After upgrading to 5.0.1 through iTunes, downloaded apps will no longer boot. I get a flash, then nothing.
    Of course, Apple wants $70 to tell me how to fix this.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? Hard reboots don't work.

  • IPod Touch 2G - WiFi barely works after upgrading to OS 4

    After upgrading the firmware on my iPod Touch 2G to iOS 4, I immediately lost all connectivity to WiFi. I have tried just about everything; resetting/restoring everything on the iPod, cycling the router, etc. None of this works. If I stand within a few feet of the router, I receive a weak signal.
    I believe the problem lies within inconsistencies of hardware used in the iPod Touch 2G and iOS 4 being designed for slightly newer/updated hardware. This creates an incompatibility.
    Any thoughts on how I can get my device functioning properly with WiFi. I'm just at a loss now.

    My 2G touch with iOS 4.2.1 continues to operate perfectly on WiFi. The problem could be your router not quite being up to snuff for newer WiFi protocols but I won't rule out a touch problem either. What to do?
    1. Reboot the router (unplug the A/C power for a few seconds)
    2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. Log onto your network as if it were a new network - tap Setting > WiFi > Other and re-enter everything.
    Those three steps should clear things up. However, if you still have problems, write back and give us more details about your network - router, encryption used, etc.

  • Garmin ANT+  agent app no longer works after upgrading to Yosemite

    Hello,
    Welcome to the forums.  Your post is fine in every way.  Introduction, problem description, what you have done -- perfect.  The package you reference is from the AUR which, as you know, is not in the main stream Arch distribution.  These community contributions are essential Arch, but have their own area in the forum to differentiate them.
    Moving this thread to AUR issues...
    As it turns out. This isn't a bug in AUR/easystroke. It is a bug in the latest xserver 1.10.902 (found in the "extra" repo)  Many applications are affected. Opera, chrome (if you are using the mouse gestures features for navigation) and it turns out that while i thought Maya wasn't affected, in reality, it is totally affected. most applications that use a mouse with right-clicks, middle clicks do not work properly.
    it's an upstream bug, that affects all distributions using the latest Xorg. I am not filing a bug report, because as i understand it, this bug has already been reported upstream by Ubuntu-devs (on launchpad).
    that latest update for Xserver, should have been tested better, before being an update available through pacman.
    On my system, i do not use any testing repos, only core, extra, and community. I do this to avoid situations, just like this. lol.
    I have work i need to get done today, but unfortunately, the only way that could happen is if i downgrade xserver (which i don't think is a smart idea). So, i guess i must wait for the next xserver update for arch. hopefully this happens in the next 24hours.
    I suppose i will have to use OSX for now, until this is properly addressed and fixed.
    anyway, i just wanted to point out that this bug has nothing to do (specifically) with Easystroke or AUR, that is just how i first noticed the bug. ( i just wanted to point that out, as you are a moderator ). This bug is in the main repos for Arch, and anyone updating today (or yesterday) will be affected, if they use applications where it's noticable.

  • Remote app no longer working after upgrade to iOS 4.3 and iTunes 10.2.1 (1)

    I am unable to use my Remote app 2.1.1 with my iTunes 10.2.1.
    I recently updated all software/firmware as follows:
    1st Gen iPad - iOS 4.3 (8F190)
    iTunes - 10.2.1 (1)
    Remote - 2.1.1
    I am using an iMac circa 2005 (6.1)
    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    2.33 Ghz Intel Core Duo; 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Wirless Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSIDs off, WMM enabled.
    I have turned on Home Sharing on both iTunes and the Remote app.
    I have made sure that both iMac and iPad are on same network.
    I have made sure that iTunes is allowing incoming connections through the firewall settings in system preferences.
    I have deleted and reinstalled both iTunes on the iMac and Remote app on the iPad.
    I have trashed the preferences for iTunes.
    I have gone to Settings on the iPad and turned on Home Sharing through the iPod app.
    I no longer see "Automatically search for iPods, iPhones, or iPads" in the iTunes preferences...ANYWHERE.
    I have reset the router.
    I have reinstalled iTunes 10.1.1 - didn't work, re-updated to 10.2.1
    Installed Mac OS X 10.6.7 combo update.
    Nothing seems to work.
    iTunes does not show my iPad when the Remote app is launched and gives me the 4 digit code to type in to pair it.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Any solutions?
    Thank you,

  • Brand new ipod touch not working like it should??

    I have a brand new ipod touch that i got last tuesday.and every downloaded app will stop working after i have had it for about a day..like it starts to load the app then just goes back to homescreen..all pre-installed apps work fine.
    but i have tryed restoring my ipod and it doesnt really fix it because all the apps stop working just like before..and i have also tryed deleting and re-installing the apps but is still doing the same thing.
    Is there a way to fix this or should i get it replaced??
    (i have a 2 year warrenty)

    Maybe your using too much Virtual Memory. Try holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until you see the silver apple.

  • My brand-new iPod touch (5th Gen) battery takes a very long time to fully charge, even while not in use. Why is this and what should I do?

    Just recently bought a brand-new iPod touch, 5th generation. To be exact, got it two days ago, this past Saturday, on 12/13/2014. Initially, when I first turned it on, it had a fully charge and I didn't need to charge it. I also didn't see anything in the very small and limited start-up guide you receive with it to charge it for a certain amount of time before use, or to use it until the battery dies, then charge all the way, like a lot of electronic devices have you do when you first purchase them.
    So I was assuming I didn't need to do anything like that. First question, should I have charged it for a period of time before use? Should I have used it until the battery died, then plugged it in and charged it fully before use? Or is none of this necessary initially and iPod batteries are good to go from the start?
    Please excuse me if this is an obvious question, as this is my first ever iPod. Anyways,like I said, nothing in the "instructions" said anything about that, so I didn't do it, I just used it until it got below 20% battery left, then I plugged it in.
    Now for the battery itself, it takes literally a day or so to fully charge, even while not in use. Even if I use it for a while, turn off the iPod to make sure it shuts off all background data and apps, and then plug it in to charge, it still charges extremely slowly. I've never seen a device take this long to charge. As for the battery life itself, I'd say at full charge it lasts about 4-5 hrs, maybe 6, and then I have to charge it again. Meanwhile it takes around 24 hours, without me using it, to fully charge. If I use it while its charging, the battery decreases faster than it charges, and eventually I'll get the typical "20% battery remaining" message pop up.
    I know it is charging, as the lightning symbol is next to the battery symbol. Specifically, right now, I plugged it in about 1 hr 30 minutes ago, and it has barely gone up. Also, whenever I press the home button to check the battery, I can see it jump down from about 50% to somewhere around 25%-30%. What is that about?
    This is really frustrating, and I'm seriously contemplating either taking it back and trying my luck with a different iPod, or just taking it back and getting my money back. Any help and clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated, and I'll answer any questions I can to shed more light on this.

    It will take longer to charge the 5G's battery than either the 3G or 4G's battery.

  • My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.

    My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.  I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now".  I can't press the okay button to start the download.  What should I do?  All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • Itunes asks to update my brand new ipod touch.. I do and now it wont work at all!!!

    just got my brand new ipod touch ... working good then itunes wants to update so I do now my ipod doesnt work at all! all I get is the apple and a line on face and wont even turn off!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
