Question about third party apps

sorry to ask this dumb question but what apps are listed as third party apps because i dont know what apps is third party apps.

Hello Shawn,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides information to troubleshoot apps. The section on "Contact the developer" will show you how to identify and contact the developer. And to answer your specific question, any app that is developed by a company other than Apple is a "third party app".
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won't open

  • What about third party apps that are duds?

    I downloaded an app from the app store called Pimp My Screen and icon changer. It will not work. It was a paid app from the app store on my IPod 7.1. Does apple ever check to see if their products actually work? Rip off.

    Try contacting iTunes support via the link at the bottom left.

    You can also try deleting the app and then downloading it again.

  • Support for Third Party Apps when they take your money and don't respond

    Does Blackberry App do anything about third party apps that take your money and then don't give you what you paid for or respond?  I paid $4.99 for Jeweled game from getempower, it downloaded and worked a bit, then it said I needed to Register.  When I clicked Register, nothing happened, it just said "checking registriation" forever.  I clicked on the Support Email provided and it returned an error saying "We get too much spam so you can't email us anymore, so please go to our website for support."  So I went to the website www.getempower.com, and got to the Support form and filled it out, and it said "you cannot submit form until you choose the app" but when I tried to choose the app it wouldn't let me.  I can't see anywhere else on the web page to contact them. So I paid for the game but it won't let me get to it.  I looked at the reviews and it looks like several other people have had this same problem.  I guess I thought buying something through App World would be trustworthy - App World, do you stand behind the vendors you allow to sell on your site?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Firstly, as a user-to-user community, no one here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. This site is not a channel for any formal communications with RIM. All support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into RIM at no charge to the end user...and that is the required path for formal support for issues such as yours (including requests for refund, if you choose to go that route). So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums. 
    But, have you tried removing and resinstalling the app? And/or clearing the AppWorld cache?
    Good luck!

  • What are third party apps????

    hi everyone, in the 1.1.3 video, he says something about third party apps, what are they.
    thanks
    Message was edited by: iPhone

    iPhone,
    The first and second party is Apple (the maker of the device) and you (the customer who uses the device). Right now all the software on the iPhone is from Apple. A third party is anybody besides Apple and you. Most webapps are written by "third-parties", and you can create bookmarks to them.
    In late February, there will be a System Developer's Kit which will allow writing third-party "native" applications that can be put on the iPhone will become possible. This link is to the announcement about the SDK:

    Hope this helps,

  • Where can i complaint about a Developer imposture for a third party app that i have already purchased?

    Where can i complaint about a Developer imposture for a third party app that i have already purchased?

    I'm not sure what you mean by a "developer imposture", but if you are having a problem with an app that the app's developer cannot or will not assist with, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • SDK for third party apps Question

    i have the new version 1.1.3 04.03.13 and i am not able to get the third party apps and i wanted to know does anyone know when they will be putting it out?

    Also, the release of the SDK will not coincide with new apps being available on that date anyway. Apps will need to be written and tested by the developers, then submitted to Apple for testing, digital signature, and sales. After they decide it is safe and believe it to be an asset to the iPhone, then it will become available. This will take months, not days after SDK release.

  • How are the third party apps for the iPhone?

    Being a long time Palm user, then moved to BlackBerry I watched the quality of third party apps really plummet due to a more restrictive development agreement.
    Now considering an iPhone, I'm curious about how healthy the 3rd party app community is for iPhone, something I miss from my Palm days. From what I've heard, the development for iPhone applications is even more restrictive than for BlackBerries.
    Anyone that wouldn't mind addressing one or all of these questions for me from their own experience, would be greatly appreciated.
    1) Do you use third party applications on your iPhone, or do you find the native Apple software to be sufficient?
    2) Are there alot of different choices for utilities, or do you find yourself pigeonholed to 1-2 programs.
    3) Would you say that the third party apps are "mature" that is stable, follow similar flow/integration with the phone and designed in an intuitive way?
    Again thanks for anyone that chooses to help me with this. I was really disappointed with the apps available for the Blackberry. At $15-$25 dollars each, I was usually let down by the quality and selection and overall experience.

    The native software is excellent and I also have apps to fill in for things not available as part of the out of the box iPhone.
    2) Are there alot of different choices for utilities, or do you find yourself pigeonholed to 1-2 programs.
    If you go to the app store and browse, you'll find lots of different utilities. In some cases, there are a dozen different options that do the same basic thing and in other cases there are a couple.
    3) Would you say that the third party apps are "mature" that is stable, follow similar flow/integration with the phone and designed in an intuitive way?
    Some apps are well done and others aren't. Since they are developed independently, there is variability. The apps I use most frequently seem pretty stable. It all depends on your needs.

  • Cisco support for third-party apps on SRE?

    Hi - I am thinking about running some third-party unified communications apps under VMWare ESXi5 on a Cisco SRE 900 module.   According to the Cisco docs, third-party apps are supported on these modules (see table below) but the app in question is NOT on Cisco's list below.  
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps10598/data_sheet_c78-553913.html
    Some questions:
    1.  As long as the third-party app is capable of running under VMWare/VSphere ESXi5, is there anything on the SRE that would prevent you from running this third-party app even though it's not on Cisco's list?
    2.  What is Cisco's policy on the use of third-party apps that are not on their list?    For example, will they take a support call on the SRE running a non-listed app (I am not expecting them to help me with the app but I don't want to void any sort of support contract through the use of a third-party app not on their list).
    Thanks !

    As long as 3rd party app is capable of running on ESXi 5 it would run on SRE hardware. Cisco doesn't prevent these apps from running even if they are competitive. From a support perspective Cisco TAC will not take any support calls for these applications nor would know how to redirect the call to these 3rd party partners. Cisco TAC will only support SRE and ESXi related issues.

  • Is there a place for recommendations of third-party apps?

    There used to be a place on here to talk about anything at all, but I don't see that now, so I don't know where to ask this question.
    It would be nice to have a place to exchange recommendations of 3rd-party software that provides applications not addressed in Apple products.
    For example, the old will-maker program I used with OS 9 does not work on OS X. Quicken makes a great one, but it only runs on Windows, and I don't want to get involved with running Windows on my Mac just for that.
    If there is a place on here or anywhere else on the web where Mac users exchange recommendations of third-party apps, I would appreciate any details.
    And, of course, if anyone has a specific recommendation for a will-maker program, that would be great too.
    Many thanks.

    a brody:
    I'm sorry but I find your response just a tad parental.
    You suggest navigating "the entire board" before asking "for too much," even as you go on to recognize how huge and unwieldy it is. I think most of us give it a good shot, exhausting a reasonable amount of search results, before posing a question. And it seems to me that your "given there are resources" could apply to anything at all that one might ask on here. All the answers came from somewhere; a person could go those "resources" instead! The point of these forums, I think, is to help and assist, in a reasonable manner according to reasonable guidelines.
    What is the point of making suggestions, if the attitude is "don't you think the moderators have enough work on there (sic) hands"?
    When you say "using the forums give plenty of chance to find the right application," well, I just wonder where you would suggest one ask something like "Can anyone recommend a good third-party slideshow application?" I have a hunch that no matter what forum a person plugged that into, someone such as yourself might chastise him for posting off subject!
    That is why my point was to ask what happened to the section that used to entertain miscellaneous questions on almost any topic. And it is why I wished aloud for a section where types of (third party) applications could be posted. That would NOT mean, as you seem to suggest, that suddenly a topic for every conceivable kind of application would be created.
    And finally, if you think all the information I hope for is already in the forums, or could be asked about and supplied in the existing forums, then I wonder how you think moderators would be additionally overburdened merely because the same stuff was simply more organized and easier to find.
    Forgive me if I sound overly defensive, but it seemed to me your response was a bit of a putdown and not very constructive.

  • Notes on third-party apps closing (not really crashing) after a restore

    Hello,
    I'm adding the umpteenth message about a problem that, after happening basically with each single iPhone change since my old iPhone 3G onwards, I would say it's pretty common.
    I have solved this problem recently with a third sequence of actions, so I'm posting my brief "history of restores" for the benefit of others. I hope I've tagged this post eloquently enough to make it easy to find.
    So, in most (if not all) cases of previous restores I've bumped in the classic issue where after the restore process (which, BTW, involves always a few more sudden phone restarts than expected) only the "native" iPhone apps run normally. All the others appear for an instant and then close. They don't really crash because both in iOS 6 and iOS 7 you can see them as "running" by double-tapping the iPhone front button. Moreover, those with active notifications will actually notify the user regularly. Their UI, though, doesn't go past the splash screen.
    The underlying cause, also considering it relates only to apps downloaded via App Store, is presumably some DRM-related information that gets messed up during the restore process.
    My personal experience included previously two distinct solutions, and each of those only worked in that occasion, i.e. has been useless in the other cases:
    The oldest, and still most documented solution, was just to download, via iPhone, a new app from the app store. After a restart, or maybe even without one, the new app and all the others started working.
    The second, less mentioned online but still pretty widespread, was to sign out from the Apple Store on the iPhone, and then sign back in.
    This time, where I got a replacement for my iPhone 4s because of the common problem of the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip getting "burned" or dislodged, I tried both the solutions above but they didn't work. In the process, I've found other possible solutions that didn't work:
    Deauthorizing iTunes on the Mac and then reauthorizing it.
    Getting a new app via iTunes and then syncing the iPhone
    Sign out/in with iCloud on the iPhone.
    I was therefore close to abandoning my 877 apps already configured and organized in folders in the previous backups, and willing to accept the burden of setting up the iPhone as a new phone.
    Nevertheless, I still hoped that a "mixed approach" would work and, indeed, it worked.
    Here is the sequence that worked in my latest case:
    Restore the iPhone as a new phone
    Open the App Store on the iPhone and get a new app, not among those already downloaded previously
    Open that app and see that it works (actually, after an iPhone replacement steps 1-3 would make sense anyway to check that the phone works properly)
    Start a restore from a previous backup
    As soon as the apps start syncing again, open the first app already sync'd and check that it works. It should work, that's what happened to me, and so you can wait the whole time required to sync back all the apps.
    My experience involves also a falsification of the statement that the problem resides on individual backups. This is false because I've used the same backup, at step 4, that I selected before going through 1-3 and that was not working initially. Moreover, after step 5, I've realized that the old backup I had used was too old because yesterday evening, while I had my iPhone still misbehaving with third-party apps, I took a few pictures that would have gone lost using the old backup. I have then started again from step 4 with a backup from the night after the pics, when I was fiddling to fix my issues. Also the newer backup, clearly done while the apps where "bad", ended with all my apps working again.
    Basically, once the "physical" phone runs third-party apps, than any backup would work. The (missing) authorization portion that causes the misbehaviour might be related to the phone IMEI, or some other piece of information that is not included in backups.
    Does anyone know a specific thread here or blog post on some website where there is a collection of cases like mine?
    I'm not looking forward to seeing what voodoo variation will be required the next time I replace my iPhone...
    Hope this helps.
    All the best,
    Giovanni

  • I purchased my iMac using the same (and only) Apple ID I use to purchase apps. Third-party apps update fine, but the apps that came with my iMac (iPhoto, iMovie, etc) bring up a message saying I have to log in with the account I used to purchase them.

    I used my only Apple ID to purchase my iMac (Intel-based one).  I've never been able to update core apps that came with it.  I can update third party apps I've bought (like Coda), but when I try to update Garage Band, iPhoto, iMovie and so on, a popup message appears saying "You have updates available for other accounts" and "Log in with the account you used to purchase this app in order to update it", or similar (see screenshot above).
    The OS seems to get its updates fine - it's just the core apps from the App Store.
    I've only ever had one Apple ID, so I have no idea what to do.  I went to ask the Genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't help, and insisted that I must have purchased the iMac using a different account, but I definitely didn't.  There are a few posts on non-Apple forums of this happening to other people, so it must be a rare bug.
    I'm a little concerned it may affect my ability to update from Lion to Mountian Lion.  Can anyone help?
    Dan

    Have you done a Disk Repair and a Disk Permissions Repair?
    If that doesn't resolve the problem I would suggest calling customer support about this issue as it is most likely on their (Apple's) end that the problem exists. 

  • Third party apps no longer work with bus transportation! HELP!

    I understand Apple no longer supports bus transportation (lame) but third party apps, such as SEAtac, OneBusAway, or anything else just gives me a 'no routes available' page. I can't find any routes on my desktop either. Is this happening to anyone else?!
    Does anyone know a) how to fix this or b) how to downgrade back to the 7.1 operating system?

    a) you would probably need to contact the app developer about their app, and I would know nothing about your desktop. b) Apple does not support downgrading of iOS. It cannot be done.

  • Third Party Apps Not Opening on iPhone 5 using iOS 6.0.2

    I have an iPhone 5 and am using iOS 6.0.2 and recently certain third party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Shazzam for instance, no longer open.  When I tap on the app, the app comes up on the screen for about a second, and then closes.  What's strange is that I've been using iOS 6.0.2 and have also been using the most updated versions of the apps without any issues.  The crashing started happening around last Friday.  Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem so far but none of these options have worked:
    - I restarted my phone by holding down the home button and the lock button. 
    - I turned my phone off and turned it on again. 
    - I deleted the apps and reinstalled them and then restarted my phone. 
    - I downloaded a random free app, opened it, and then tried opening the apps that kept crashing.
    - I restored my phone and synced it using the most recent back up I had, which was from earlier that day. 
    I did find a temporary solution, that allows the apps to open but I think it's because the apps are not the most recent versions. 
    - I restored my phone and set it up as a new phone.  The phone then downloaded all of the apps again and re-synced everything.  The apps did open after that however, when I went to the app store, it said that I had 24 available updates.  I updated all of the apps to their most up to date versions and then noticed that they once again stopped opening and would crash almost immediately after launching them. 
    - I then restored my phone again and set it up as a new phone and did not update the 24 apps and all but one of them work.  The only app that I've noticed that still doesn't work is the Blackboard Eats app.  It still crashes almost immediately after launching it. 
    I took my phone to the Genius Bar this weekend (which is where I was told to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone).  I'm thinking that the issue is purely a software issue, but is there any chance that it could be a hardware issue? 
    I suppose I could just not update the apps, but I'm hoping there's a better solution than that.  What's weird is that the phone was working with iOS 6.0.2 and all of the most up to date versions of the apps less than a week ago and it seems that somehow, overnight, they stopped working. 
    Is anyone else running into this problem?  Has anyone found a solution? 
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    The music player does not remember where the last session ended.  I have about 1000 songs on my iPhone.  I play the songs in the Shuffle mode - and it worked fine on iOS 5.x.  Ever since I updated to iOS 6.0, the shuffle seems to be seriously broken.  It repeats the song sequence of previous session in the exact order instead of starting from where the session ended.  God forbid if your last session was 10-25 songs long - you'll have to hit the Next song so many times to listen to something that you have not heard for a while.

  • Third party apps and peripherals to blame?

    I am wondering what applications and external add-ons are working and which ones are not?
    It appears to me a lot of people are having problems with external hard drives and previously installed applications.
    I did a clean install and have only added Apple programs so far (iLife, iWork). I am hesitant to add any other programs for fear of messing up my install, or worse... my Macbook.
    The big question is who did the research and development (lack of) on Leopard.
    It is beginning to look more and more like Apple focused all it's attention on perfecting the OS and left all the responsibilities for software compatibility to the third party software developers.
    Bad idea. Companies that make software for Apple computers are catering to a far smaller market than our PC brothers, which leads me to believe they do not have the resources to insure 100% compatibility. Apple should have anticipated this and performed more testing.
    When I installed Roxio Toast 7 I could not burn a disk image. Shortly thereafter my superdrive stopped working completely. I found out from other posts, that you need version 8, or an older version of 7 to get it to work. On Roxio's website there is no mention of this at all. No a peep.
    Apple had a few years to check compatibility and work software engineers to make sure their products worked on Leopard.
    I further confirmed my suspicions when I visited the apple store today. I was there because my superdrive stopped working. After I installed Leopard and started to re-install my applications (Office, Toast), the drive quit accepting disks. They replaced the drive while I was at the store. By the way they said it was a coincidence. Mmmm.
    While I waited (Fantastic customer support by the way, even on a Sunday) I noticed all the computers in the store happily running Leopard without a hitch. I looked deeper and found little or no third party software installed. External hard drives and cameras appeared to be working fine, but with no added software.
    My suggestion is be real careful with what you install.
    To Apple... Pleeeaaase test your products more thoroughly before sending them out the door. It may not be your responsibility, but if there are known issues then they should be disclosed.
    On the other hand how sad it that... Imagine- "To install our software you must take the weekend off, back up all your data, delete all third party apps, and hope you hardware works with our new OS. Some of you will be lucky and others will not. Meeting our system requirements does not really guarantee anything... Good luck".

    It seems they deleted my post from discussions. Thanks.
