All 3rd party apps are crashing on startup of the app even after a restore

My iPhone was working perfectly fine yesterday before I updated the weather.com application over wifi, ever since then none of my 3rd party apps will open on the iphone. The standard apple apps i.e. weather, email, calculator, etc. all open fine.
I have done a reset, a hard reset and a full restore from a backup and still it is not working properly. Any ideas on what to do from here?

Same problem here too!! Here's my Log:

Updated Carrier Settings - All 3rd party apps now crash on startup.

Updated the new Carrier Settings today. Now all 3rd party apps on the iPhone crash on startup. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Rebooted several times
Running 3.1 (7C144)
Thanks!

Just wanted to post in the event someone else had the same issue. I did a restore and reset. All third party apps went away (poof).
I had to manually re-install my apps from the app-store. Thank goodness iTunes tracks your previous purchases.

All 3rd party apps Crash - Already Restored FIVE Times to date - Apple fix?

Since the 2.0 update my apps have had constant crashing issues. Usually after opening 8 or so apps in a row (very easy to do when downloading and testing many apps) ... Powering down and powering back up usually helped/fixed the issue, if temporarily.
Now, since 2.0.1 I've had times when one app will crash to the home screen, and from that point on ALL 3rd party apps immediately crash. Powering down the iPod, and powering back up does not fix the problem. Resetting the ipod (Sleep and Home buttons held) does not help either. I've also tried just Syncing the ipod, but this, alas, does nothing to help.
When it's come to this in the past I've had to do a complete iPod restore, which if it weren't just for the time taken restoring, the time taken re-arranging the icons/screens puts the process into the realm of a major pain. But having a way to assign apps to a particular screen on the ipod/iphone within iTunes is a topic for another thread.
Is there a way around this (crashing issue) that I'm just not seeing?
I'm tired of being and eff-ing guinea pig; this is not why I'm an apple user, this is one of the reasons I make fun of Windows people and get them to switch TO apple.

Well, now it's official, thanks to 3rd party apps and/or faulty system software my iPod is Dead.
When I created this thread I was having all 3rd party apps crash constantly, and instantly upon launch. The myriad of methods used to recover it to working order failed. I decided to do a Restore and use the last successful backup. It got to about the 95% mark on the restore and hung for 2 hours. The exact same place for 2 hours.
Not having the ability or patience to wait for my iPod to get done tying up my computer, I reset it. Now, all I've got is a $299.99 Paperweight that constantly displays a nice and shiny apple logo on it's screen.
An attempt to restore it to factory settings only gave me an error dialogue box:
The iPod "Kuhnaydeein's iPod" could not be restored.
An unknown error occurred (0xE8000035).
Now what am I supposed to do? I don't live near an Apple Store, the only place that sells apple merch is the store where I work, in the department I work. I know our policy on taking back/exchanging iPods.
What I've failed to mention is how I'm EVER going to sell one of these to someone if there's a chance they'll just be getting the same FAULTY Hardware/Software I'm now stuck with? Is Apple going to come to the rescue, read this post and replace my iPod? I sincerely hope they read this, because they don't give the slightest hint at any Direct Email addresses on the Apple.com website. (What's with that anyway?)
So what do I do now? RESTORING IS NOT AN OPTION.

How can I Downgrade to Snow Leopard and keeping all 3rd party apps?

New to MacBookPro and really happy. With Lion...not so much. I want to downgrade to SL, however, apparently I must reformat the hard drive. Here´s the real question: If I have a backup of my entire HD with the user, docs and all the apps I have installed (on Lion), once I downgrade to Snow Leopard, can I just move all my apps from the back up disk I have made of my Lion-Running hard drive? In other words, How can I downgrade without having to reinstall every single third party app I have?

First, how new is this Mac? A Mac as a rule cannot boot to an older operating system version than that with which it was originally supplied. In other words, if this is a new MBP that came with Lion then you probably cannot get it to boot to SL.
Some applications (and I take it you do mean full "applications" rather than "apps" which are mobile device programs -- it helps to be clear o terminology) can just be dragged from place to place. Others, notably Adobe and Office, install things all over the place and unless you are good at finding hidden files with obscure names in 10 different places you will just have to re-install them.

How can I reset my MacBook Air to factory settings that will delete all 3rd party apps and wont delete my data and iLife apps?, How can I reset my MacBook Air to factory settings that will delete all 3rd party apps and wont delete my data and iLife apps?

I gave my MacBook Air to a person to use for a while, and now I got it back. I want it to be good as new before I start using it properly. Its okay if I lose data but I dont want to lose the Apps that were onboard. I want to start all over again.
Thanks

Assuming you don't have a Time Machine backup before you lent your MacBook out, then you've a few choices.
If you want to set it back to the day you got it, then if it's Snow Leopard, use the micro USB stick that came with your Mac and after boot from it ( hold the Option key on startup) select the USB stick and when booted from it, go to Disk Utility and reformat the HD then install SL. when it's done and started in 10.6, select the install Applications from the USB stick, then your back with iLife apps etc.
If Lion, restart from the Recovery Partition as per the instructions above except you don't need anything plugged into the Mac, select Recovery and again DU erase and install Lion. once Lion is installed the iLife apps will be available to download from the App store as your MacBook will be recognised as coming with these apps.
WARNING, both these methods remove ALL user data

Will my third party apps sync after a restore?

After I upgraded to IOS7 I lost most of my album art on my iPhone 5. Everthing is their in iTunes on my Mac. The Mac Geniues suggest that I resrtore my iPhone from a new account and not from a back up. So my question is will my third party apps sync all my information after a restore?

So do and some don't. It's up to the 3rd parties apps developer to implement this feature.
Best is talk to the app developer that are important to you.

Several months worth of pics, all of which were supposed to be saved to the iCloud, vanished after a restore on a replacement phone. Now what?

I've tried restoring several times, the pictures cut off at about November of 2013, when I originally had to do a restore and lost all of my pics from before that time.
Strangely, those reappeared, but the ones from November up until now are gone and I've tried restoring from quite a few older back ups with no success in finding them. I'm unsure of what else to do and would rather not just sit and hope that they will just spontaneously reappear some day like the others or not at all. There's no iTunes back up recent enough to have them on it, so I'm limited in options involving that. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas?

iPhone isn't stolen. It came with original box, bill, etc... thats why I'm saying this is a weird situation.
And excuse me but this means that the only thing you can buy in your life has to be new from the store?
Are you people aware of how we live here in this country?
Why wouldn't I be allowed to buy a used phone and for it to work?
Reality is that Apple didn't take in consideration buying their goods used and why is that?
What do they think happened to my 3GS when i moved on to 4G?
I should have thrown it in the trash ? Of course i sold it!
Umm hello, try living in the real world for a minute or two?
I'm not trying to be arrogant here nor mean nor agresive I'm just annoyed at the fact that they tried to upgrade their product by making it "tracable" in case of theft yet didn't create a back door in case of unordinary situations.
They could have also said: hey it's not Apples fault that you got your phone stolen. It's the same anology, they decided to help out their users by giving them the option to trace their phone in case it gets stolen, kudos for that. So why is this kind of cutomer care ok, but asking for a backup plan in case of situations that stand out of the ordinary is answered as : "it's not Apples fault"
I'm not even going to mention the amount of ppl who are not technologicaly educated enough to even know what they're doing and yet they own an iPhone and create "weird" situations...
All I'm saying is, it's clear here this phone isn't stolen, which was confirmed by T-mobile where it was bought in the first place. The only problem is in the iCloud service... Which is controled only by Apple...
What happened to common sence and logics? o.O

3rd party apps crashing with 3.1

I have a 3GS running 3.1, and after updating all 3rd party apps are crashing when I try to launch them. The app's splash screen will load, and then it'll go back to the iphone app screen.
I've tried restoring and that didn't help.
I then tried deleting and redownloading apps, and that didn't help.
Has anyone found a way to fix this?

this is Apple's response:
Dear Corey,
Thank you for contacting the iTunes Store. I understand that your applications are crashing, and have not been able to use it because it quits unexpectedly when you try to open it on your device. I know this is frustrating, and I will try to provide as much information as I can to help you resolve it.
Corey, it's possible that the application became corrupt as it was downloading. Because you purchased the application and the installation was not successful, you may download it again at no charge. I recommend that you delete the application from your device and from iTunes, and then download the application to your computer and sync your device to your computer.
To uninstall the application from your device Corey, tap and hold its icon on the home screen until the icons wiggle. Then tap the "X" next to icon of the application to delete it. To stop the other icons from wiggling, press the Home button.
To delete the application from iTunes, open iTunes and click Applications on the left, then click the icon of the application. Press the Delete key on your keyboard, then click the Remove button, and then click the Move to Trash button.
Now, using your computer, sign in to your iTunes Store account and attempt to purchase the application again. You will be notified that you have already purchased the application and will be allowed to download it again for free. After downloading the application to your computer, sync your device to your computer.
If your computer is not available Corey, you may try purchasing the application again using the App Store on your device.
If the application quits unexpectedly even after you reinstall it, please reply to let me know. I will be happy to assist you further.
Please note that if you download other types of iTunes Store content—such as songs or videos—and find that they are unusable, it’s not possible to simply delete them and download them again. Instead, you must sign in to your account, access your Purchase History, and click the "Report a Problem" button.
Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer Corey. We appreciate your business. We here at the iTunes Store appreciate your business.
I did this with a few apps, and most worked, but a couple still display the same launch/crash symptoms. Also, i have several apps that if I delete them from the phone, I would loose information entered into them, so this solution is fair from ideal. I'm also running Blizzard's Authenticator, which I can't easily remove from my battle.net account without logging in, and I can't log in without the authenticator working.

2.0.1 causes 3rd party apps to crash

All third party apps won't open after moving to 4g

I updated the desktop to iTunes 10 and downloaded all of the updates to my iPod apps. I bought a new 4g to replace a lost 2g. I synced after dl'ing app updates to the desktop.
All 3rd party apps only open and close all in 1/2 second.
Will the suggestion on the support page about reauthorizing the computer help this issue?
I haven't been able to get back home to try. Thanks.
(disregard specs below.... I still have all that, but now I'm on my 4gTouch)

Sorry, I was sending that from my iPod.
I lost my last iPod. It was backed up on iTunes on my Desktop computer. It was a 2G model.
I've been off the internet for about 4 months but recently bought a new 4G Touch and got a new Broadband2Go card.
So, I used my Desktop computer to update all the apps for my Touch to iTunes on my Desktop, then I synced my iPod to my Desktop to apply all of the updates to the Touch.
All apps are there, just like before, but nothing will open. Only the Apple apps. They flash but close right away.
I'm home now, and will try the Apple suggestion in the FAQ.
I just wanted to make sure it was the best way to approach my particular problem.

IOS 4- App Store and 3rd Party Apps don't load

So I didn't have any problems with upgrading to iOS 4. The problems started when I tried to play with my apps such as Facebook and other games. They seem to stay in loading and nothing happens. I have turned of my phone multiple times and nothing seems to work. The App store also stays in a loading stage and nothing appears.
Is anyone having similar problems or know of any solutions?

OK. Here's the solution that worked for me. See my prior post on 22 June for background info.
After loading new apps and deleting and reloading existing apps to my iPhone via iTunes on my computer, the iPhone still would not run 3rd party apps. So I decided to start from scratch.
PROCEDURE:
1) Back up the iPhone.
2) Click the restore button to take the iPhone back bare bones iOS 4 operation. It is not necessary to download iOS 4 again. Do NOT restore from back-up as control of the process to the greatest extent possible is the goal.
3) Once the restore is complete, allow iTunes to configure the iPhone from the back-up.
4) Check some or all 3rd party apps to verify function.
5) Power down iPhone and restart it. Check some or all 3rd party apps to verify function again.
6)Load music and video (I manage mine manually)
This worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
I am most certainly not an expert. I just decided to try an approach I thought the Apple Genius's might suggest.
Good luck!

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.

Can't open any 3rd party apps - they crash on startup

I've been an iPhone owner since the first model (I have iPhone 4 now), and I've never seen anything like this.
Last night my iPhone ran out of charge. This morning, when I plugged it in it had to charge for a few minutes before it would turn on. Once it turned on, it said "waiting for activation: this may take a while". I thought this was strange, because my phone is already activated. I'm in an area with no reception, though, so maybe that was the issue.
Once the phone turned on, I tried to open some of my apps. But none of the 3rd party apps would open! When I tap them they appear to open but they shut down / crash right away. Strangely, however, all of the Apple apps that come with the phone will open without a problem (Maps, Mail, Safari, iCal, etc.).
I tried a hard reset but that didn't help. I'm away from home so I can't do an erase and store, and I really need access to some of the data in those apps.
Any ideas?

I did the same this week. I did a sync and now I can't access any of my apps. They appear to open then shut right back down. Have tried to resync, update and about anything else that may fix and nothing. Paying an aweful lot of money just for texting and phone usage. Anyone know how to take care of this issue? I have a 3G phone and been using it for a year without this problem

Every single 3rd party App crashes

Hello,
I'm running a 8gb EDGE 2.0.1 iphone. Every single 3rd party app crashes all of a sudden. I tried restore. all native apple apps load, but even when I just synce 1 3rd party app to the iphone (so all native iphone apps and 1 3rd party) that always crashes to iphone home screen.
I need to fix this because I need to use 3rd party apps like zenbe (which was working perfectly for me a week ago)

ok i had this same problem i called apple the guy i got new exactly what was happening and game me a work around. follow these steps exactly. this is a mac work around only dont know about windows.
1 make sure your phone is not connected to your computer.
2 delete every app directly from iphone by holding a app and then clicking the x
3 go to settings general reset and choose reset all settings
4 now on your computer open itunes on the menu bar go to store and deauthorize your computer
5 quit itunes
6 reopen itunes and reauthorize the computer then exit itunes
7 open isync go to preferences and select reset sync history and exit isync
8 open itunes and connect your iphone. it may freeze itunes for 2-10 minutes but dont exit just
wait it will eventually recognize your iphone.
9 after itunes recognizes your iphone go to the music tab and select a small playlist to sync then got to the app tab and choose sync selected apps and if anything is selected deselect them.
10 if you have remote app select it if not download it for free and select it
11 then select two other apps and click apply
12 it will start to sync. it will say removing apps let it do this. depending on how many apps you have it could take a long time (mine took more than an hour)
13 if you get error 0xE800002E after you are done just repeat steps 1-8 it wont take long this time
14 if you dont get the error check to see if your remote works if it does check the other apps if they dont work repeat steps 1-8 if they do you are done just restart the iphone to make sure the still work
15 if you got the 0xE800002E error and have repeated 1-8 sync remote and two other apps and it should work if it does not try again it worked for me the first time though.
it is a long process but be patient and all will work out.
that is it until apple fixes this stupid issue which should never have gotten passed testing.
hope this helps
if u need help or inform me of how it went u can email me at [email protected]
