3rd Party Apps not working after 3.1 update

As the topic says, none of my third party apps are working at the moment. I tried doing a full restore and backup and that doesn't seem to do anything. I've also noticed that most of my music is not syncing, even though podcasts and movies are. I'm really trying to restore everything to the way it was because I have some valuable data on my third party apps that I really can't afford to lose.
Any ideas?

Same problem.
iPhone 3gs 32MB and MacBook Pro w/ iTunes 9.0: Updated iPhone to 3.1 software today and all apps fail at launch except the native ones. Thinking it was an authorization problem, I tried to purchase an app on the phone. It downloads but also won't launch. I then bought it through iTunes 9.0 and synced, but that fails as well. Did a full restore, and one hour of sync time later no change.
If this is happening to me it must be pretty common. I'm using all standard equipment that is under a year old. No jailbreak or other funky stuff. Anyone else with this problem please post. Not sure what else to do. Genius bar appts are booked up today, so booking for tomorrow night.

Loss of Music and Video and 3rd party apps not working on 3G

I've had to restore my 3G iphone about 10x now. The phone keeps "losing" my music and video, and then the 3rd party apps don't work. A reset does not help, I have to restore my phone and set it up as a new phone each time. I went to the Genius Bar, they gave me a new phone, but said it was likely a software issue. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a way to fix it? I waste like 2 hours re-syncing my phone every time this happens. I'm so disappointed with this iPhone 3G...I wish I hadn't sold my original iPhone and could switch back to that. Please, any help that anyone can offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you for replying. Did try this again, and then another recovery (holding down 2 buttons 'til Apple icon) but no luck.

3rd party apps not working on new iPad 4G, 32GB.

Having read many threads on this, I have re-stored (existing backup and new), re-set, re-synced. I have downloaded new apps, deleted old ones and redownloaded, have tried to drag and drop apps from Library to Devices. Have reset my Apple ID on computer and pad, and currently have only one ID and then restored as new. Apple apps work fine. But not one 3rd party app opens. A short black flash on the screen and nothing. All the supposedly active apps' icons show in the "active dock". What am I missing?

3rd party plugins not working after archive and install

hi,
i have a few 3rd party plugins in my logic pro, such as all the native instruments, waves diamond, ik multimedia plugins, atmosphere and a few more,
i was getting an error on my g5 when i tried to run diskwarrior from the disk. it was the kernal panic message, it said i had to restart my mac, therefore i couldnt run diskwarrior from disk.
i did a bit of research and a few people suggested doing a archive install, so i did.
well what do you know, i had to re-install logic 8 again. other programmes such as transcribe, itunes idvd imovie etc were ok.
but logic didnt load up, o i had to re-install logic again,
also before i did that i checked to see if my 3rd party plugin were working in standalone, so i check all the native instruments and they seemed to work ok, T-racks deluxe works fine, so i thought they should all load up in logic.
once logic was installed again and had to get all the updates all my 3rd party plugins did not show up on my AU validation.
is there a way to get logic to see my 3rd party plugins or do i have to re-install all of them again.
cheers for the help
lib

Then check if the NI AU components are actually where they should be:
HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
If not copy them over from your "previous systems" folder which was created on your HD during the archive and install process.

IPhone 4s 3rd Party Apps not working

On Wednesday I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and all my 3rd party apps worked fine. Then on Friday when my iPhone 4S arrived I transferred everything over. The phone works great and all the core apps work fine, but none of the 3rd party apps work at all. They "blink" if I click on them but none of them will launch - even ones that have just been updated. I have a couple of key apps with years worth of data that I really can't afford to lose. I have done a hard reset. I have restored the software and restored from backup and still the problem is the same.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and more importantly how I can resolve it?
Thanks.

This is what I found out from another post and it immediately solved my problem:
The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone “forgets” your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.

3rd Party Apps Not Working . . .

Woke up this morning, turned on my iphone and was greeted by a screen informing me that my phone was good only for emergency calls and that I should connect to computer and iTunes.
So, I did.
This restored the phone to active status, but during the sync some weird things happened:
I was told to an update to carrier settings was available, I clicked accept to download and received an error code saying the update failed (error code -4)
The computer reported and error trying to sync my apps (error code -4)
The sync then finished and said I could disconnect. After doing so none of my third party apps worked. They start to load and then immediately crash. Not one of them works.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, I actually used the iPhones erase all data and media function to clear the phone and start from scratch (all my stuff was backed up),
I then tried to sync, everything loaded fine except the apps. I now have no third party apps on my phone at all on my phone. They will not load from the computer to the phone. They do show up in the computer though.
The update carrier settings still bombs out (error -4) and the restore from iTunes will not work (same check for current version of iTunes message shows).

My Verizon app not working after iOS 7 update

I have an iphone 4s. After I upgraded to ios 7, the my verizon app stopped working. Today, the app got an update in the app store to version 3.6.0. I installed the update, but it still does not work. When I run it, it spins the circle dots for a while and comes back with "Error: A communication error has occured [sic]. Please ensure Internet connection and try again." And it has a "Reload App" button, which I press, and it does the same thing. This happens whether I'm on wifi or 3g. Several times I've tried rebooting the phone, deleting and reinstalling the my verizon app, but it still doesn't work. Does anyone else have this problem? How did you solve it? Thanks.

I did the network reset, but that didn't help. FYI if you're thinking of resetting network settings, the only negative side-effect is that the phone forgets all of its wifi networks.
I did a restore from backup via iTunes, and that didn't help either.
I've had a couple other issues with iOS 7, and what I did was reset the firmware via iTunes but I didn't restore from backup. Now My Verizon works. The reason I did this drastic step was because my Safari was messed up in iOS 7 in another way, and restoring from backup didn't help that either, but I had a hunch that getting Safari fixed would fix My Verizon. (I can't know for sure if I was right about that.)
Here's the thing: Apps like My Verizon that really just load web pages use Safari's settings for the web. So I would try this if I were still stuck with My Verizon not working: Go into Safari settings, and clear cookies and history and cache data, and make sure the "Block Cookies" setting is set to either "Never" or "From third parties and advertisers." Then reboot your phone for good measure, and try My Verizon again.

Apps not working after iOS 5 update

My friend has updated his iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and some of his apps including facebook and twitter aren't working. Tried re-syncing and turning off and on but still not working. Any suggestions?

Not my issue. Many apps do update fine. 5 pesky ones are being difficult and refuse to update. Tried on various wifi networks with same result. Other applications do update. All the latest as far as iOS is concerned although sadly I am still using an iPad 2.
What is the same is only that a number of my applications in the App Store fail to update on my iPad 2.

3rd Party Apps stop working each day?

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I got my new 3G phone on Sunday and loaded a bunch of 3rd party apps. Monday morning, none of them worked--I click to start, and looks like it will start (the screen changes to the initial app screen), then it abruptly closes. Doesn't happen for the pre-installed apps. So I deleted and reinstalled 2 apps and they worked, soon after, I noticed all of them were working again. Yesterday and today, same thing--none of the 3rd party apps is working.
Anyone else with a similar story? Anyone know how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Thanks for the info--though I have heard conflicting info that pressing home on the 3G actually does terminate an app completely. Unfortunately, it does not resolve the issue with the 3rd party apps not working. I've tried soft reboots, hard reboots, switching from wifi to 3G, and even did a full restore, but no change. The only current way I can get them to work again is to uninstall one and reinstall it. For some reason, this also fixes the rest of them. Pretty sure this is an actual OS bug. You don't even need to reboot after reinstalling an app--it works, then the rest of them do. I guess I will just have to live with it until Apple comes out with an update. I have never had an Apple device before...is there a way for a user to enter a ticket so that they know about this issue?

3rd party apps stopped working on 3gs

This is similar in nature to other threads but the difference appears to be that I started from a 3gs phone with 3.0 installed. After changing the home page the screen stopped responding to touch input. I resetted the phone and all 3rd party apps. cease to function. When I click on the appropriate icon, the app. begins to load for about a second and then returns to the icons menu. Pre-installed (apple) programs all appear to function normally. I tried restoring from backup but this did not work. I am loathe to try a system restore but it looks like this is the only option available. Any other suggestions?

Hi - hoping my experience helps someone in this situation. I had the same problem as reported: all 3rd-party apps suddenly stopped working. Rebooting the iPhone did not help.
Here's a sequence that ended (so far) with mixed results.
1) Tried the above suggestion of downloading a free app.
2) Launched an app and then another to test, all seemed well.
3) Manually clicked the iTunes Sync button.
4) Tried launching another app - that one failed - but the two that worked above still worked.
5) Deleted the newly downloaded app and then redownloaded it.
6) Launched every 3rd-party app - all worked fine.
7) Manually re-synced again.
8) Launched various apps - most work, a couple don't.
Will continue to work on this, but the problem seems to be related to syncing. Downloading an app appears to help. The results may vary depending on the app that's not working.
So... try downloading a free app and launch the non-working apps before resyncing to see what happens. Syncing may break them again, but at least you might be able to get the apps back for a while without resorting to a factory reset. If you don't need to resync, you might turn off automatic syncing or use the non-USB power cord to recharge and avoid the problem.
Perhaps corruption is happening somewhere, either on the iPhone or in iTunes, when syncing. It's frustrating.

MacBook Pro 3rd Party App not loading just 'flashes' 10.8.5

Hi
Could really use some help here, been using this forum for around 6 years and have managed to solve all my Mac problems through it which has been great, but I have an issue I really can't figure out.
Replaced my HD with an SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner and everything has worked perfectly apart from one really annoying problem.
If I unzip a 3rd party App (not .dmg these work ok) for a piece of music software (as that is all I use this Mac for) it just 'flashes' for a second and stops - where as normally it will ask for Password to make changes and install it.
If I use Console to inspect the error I get this…
com.apple.launched.peruser.501:([0x0-044044].com.native-instruments.kExecutableN ame[318]) Job failed to exec(3) for weird reason: 13
Dock: no information back from LS about running process
This is what I have tried.
1. Security and Privacy Settings are set to allow non Apple Apps.
2. I have repaired Permissions in Disc Utility and from Terminal in Recovery HD via resetpassword command.
3. I have opened the app for the Get Info part and I have Read/Write permission on it.
4. I booted in Safe Mode, still the same.
5. I created a new Admin user on my Mac and tried to open the same App after unzipping and it immediately asks for the prompt to enter password to make changes. (so the download/unzip process is ok).
So, I guess it really must have something to do with my permissions somehow (or not!). As this is the only thing that does not work I feel I have narrowed it down but just can't fix it.
Any help/advice will be much appreciated.

Ok
I have fixed this. May be of help to others at some point.
I have been using Zipeg for .zip folders for about 4 years and never had an issue, I saw on a non related post about .zip files and how they can become corrupted during de-compression.
Anyway, I deleted zipeg and re-installed it, still the same, after that I read a post about OSX built in Archive Utility, it wasn't in my Utility folder so another post gave the path. I had no idea it even existed.
System / Library / Core Services - Archive Utility.
Using this all is working perfectly again.

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

Hi There
Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
Solution to working You Tube app:
-Go to playstore
- Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
- "Et Voila", working again.
This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
Hope it helped.
Best Regards

Anybody else use these or any other 3rd party plugin?

I can confirm that Folder View plugin no longer works. the developer discusses it here

but I can't understand if they figured out how to fix it or not.

HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
Go figure? Logical, No!
