Any Fix For iPhone 4S Apps Authorization

Since purchasing the 4S third party apps have crashed regularly. The apps appear to be loaded in the phone, but not authorized - so rather than open the app, the icon only flickers when pressed. Usually this happens to an odd few of the apps I have loaded, but now it is all third party apps. Every time this problem has occured immediately after charging the phone on a wall socket for an extended period (e.g. overnight), making me wonder if extended charging overloads some circuitry.
I have previously fixed this by completely restoring the phone from a back-up and re-installing everything, a tedious process, only to have the same problem later recur. I have also deleted the affected third party apps individually and re-installed them, again only to have the problem recur. Thankfully in these cases my user info and settings were retained. This time it is not a few of the third party apps but all of them.
This problem began after connecting the phone to my Mac and opening iTunes. iTunes continually now says that my Mac is not authorized, but when I choose Store > Authorize This Computer the system tells me I am already authorized. For some reason though iTunes is not recognizing the authorization, and is passing that lack of recognition to the iPhone. This then means the apps won't work.
This continual frustration has made me question my purchase. I would love to hear ideas about an authorization fix if anyone has any. For the record it is a 14GB 4S with only 26 third-party apps loaded. The desktop is a MacPro running OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10. Thought: might this be a compatibility issue between 10.6.8 and iOS5? WiFi sync is not turned on, and pc is normally powered down at night when charging the phone.

Thanks. The forums show these authorization issues have been going on since just months after the iPhone's release. When the issue was just a few third party apps I figured it was the apps; when the issue became all third party apps I knew the root of the problem was with Apple. Apple normally focuses strongly on user experience; I would have expected an issue that has literally frustrated users for years to have been addressed long ago. Maybe increasing Android competition will prompt Apple to look at such issues more closely.

IS there a USB Tether Fix for iPhone 4s & iTunes 11.1.1

IS there a USB Tether Fix for iPhone 4s ?
Mac OS X : 10.6.8
iPhone : 4s w/ ios 7.0.3
Additional Apps : iTunes 11.1.1
I had this problem once before with a previous "iTunes" update where Ifixed the broken "ktext" file. No idea what do do about this snafu. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

OK. Can't edit so here's my reply.
Both names seem to be OK if I want to just carry some tunes on just the sd card it self and then stream the music to the 4S. What I am hoping to find is a way to actually put the music (mp3/4) files on the iPhone 4S directly. Judging by the 2 first posts and by what Amazon has on the two adapters listed by xtremecarbon, it does look like I cannot do this. It bites but that does seem to be the outcome of this.
Again if anybody has any leads or ways of putting music directly on the 4S without iTunes, do let me know. In the mean time I'm looking at the 13" MacBook Air and at the MacBook Pro. I don't think I can twist my wife in getting the Pro and I give her my old one. But I sure will give it a try. At least I know she does like the MacBook Air.

HT6065 When do we get a proper fix for the Mail App?

When do we get a proper fix for the Mail app on my iMac? The last one made things worse. Or ta least, how can I roll back the OS to Mountain Lion?

Thanks for the reply Varjak,
Mail has stopped refreshing as it should. When I click the get new mail envelope, there used to be a sound after around five seconds if there were no new notifications. When I try that now the program just hangs. When I look at 'Force Quit', which incidentally I have to open another app or Finder window in order to access because Mail freezes totally, including the Apple menu, it says that Mail isn't responding. The Mac won't shut down sometimes because Mail won't quit. If I manage to open a mail and then go to another inbox, the whole thing is liable to hang. Using Apple help just before Christmas I cleared out the old cache that M.Lion left behind and now there isn't a cache for Mail.
We are on Tiscali Broadband through a multi-port router and usually getting around 11Mb download speeds. My mail addresses are either tiscali.co.uk or gmail. It will not successfully send group mails either, despite the upgrade before Christmas. I never had a problem with M.L. and Mail. From looking at the Forums it seems I am not alone here. I also have a windows pc and an iPhone and they both access my mail addresses without any problem.
Cheers,

Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1? I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response. These problems have been occurring since the last update. At times the iPad becomes unusable. I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi, dannilee,
I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
Hope it is useful for you.

I have an I Pad 1 with 64 gigs. It constantly drops me off the Internet for no apparent reason. Is there any fix for this problem?

My I Pad 1 constantly drops me off the Internet and programs. Is there any fix for this problem? It started after the last update and continues to get worse.

First, 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 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.

IOS update fix for the map app

So exactly how long do users have to wait for an update fix for the map app?

The maps included with the iPhone do not cost extra and do use the existing data plan.
AT&T Navigator (GPS) does cost an extra $9.95 (or so) per month.
Most other GPS apps have no monthly fee and use the GPS and, in some cases, the data plan on your phone.
I recommend either Navigon (takes a lot of storage room but maps are stored on the iPhone) or GPS Drive (reasonable price, has great features, maps come from the data path so requires a data signal but takes much less space).

Does Apple have any plans for a similar app as Samsung S Drive?

Does Apple have any plans for a similar app as Samsung S Drive?
Samsung recently released 'S-Drive' - an app for their Samsung Galaxy program which only allows certain features to be used when driving. I much prefer my Apple iPhone, but as my children grow up, this is much safer. Thoughts?

Ah, sorry fellas, and thanks for clarifying that for me. I thought Apple would also have tech's who monitor / respond in these forums. My bad. Cheers though... and let's see what they (might) do.
Is there any way to encourage them / let them know of apps such as this and that it might be a good thing?

Looks like the Silicon Image drivers were moved to the incompatible software folder during install/upgrade.
Downloaded latest drivers, errored out of install claiming that the drivers were from an unknown author!!!

Any fix for touch pad issue in mac book pro on windows 7?

Hi, I've recently installed windows 7 and parallels in my mac book pro. While i run windows with the parallels track pad, scrolling and right click are functioning properly. But when i logon to windows directly none of them are functioning.
Pls lemme know if there is any fix for this.
Thanks

Running Windows in parallels from the BootCamp partition messes the original installation. My experience. You will have to remove the parallels virtual machine from mac and did a complete reinstall of Windows later.It is better to keep your virtual machine separately.
This is not true. Running Bootcamped Windows from Parallels or Fusion does not impact the Bootcamp installation of Windows. It just provides a different access to the single Windows installation. Both Parallels and Fusion support this configuration and instructions for how to use Bootcamped Windows as the virtual machine's tartget operating system is included on each virtual machines's respective site.

Neo2 - Any fix for 'lost' memory?

On this board, I've read that it is normal for the BIOS to only see part of the memory if you have a lot installed. I've got 4x1GB installed, the BIOS reports a large number beginning with '3'; Windows System Properties says 3.25GB which works out pretty close in bytes to that reported by the BIOS. Is there any fix for this, since I'd like capable applications e.g. After Effects, running under XP x64 to have the option to access all the physical ram installed?

I would guess the history was lost when you consolidated your catalogs near the beginning of the process. Can you remember what steps you followed to consolidate the catalogs? There is no history if you have importing from image-embedded or sidecar metadata as that only contains the current state of the images, not all the steps followed to get there.
Most of the rest of what you talk about is a complicated discussion of why you don’t have any backups, which is interesting, but not relevant to the missing history, I don’t think.

Is there any soft for IPHONE RING?

IS THERE ANY SOFT FOR IPHONE RING ,WHICH CAN RING AT RANDOM? Just LIKE NOKIA SYDYEM ,WHEN CALL COMING ,THE PHONE WILL RING AT RANDOM.TKS.

Sorry I don't fully understand your question but...
1. Turn off your caps lock - in a forum, it's the equivalent of yelling/screaming.
2. Turn your ringer up/down with the buttons on the side.
3. Put the phone on vibrate with the switch on the side.
If your phone is not working right, try resetting then restoring as per the manual. The English version is here... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

Any fix for the "remembering passwords" problem with MAIL?

I've been following the other threads on this topic. I am a new Mac user (all of 5 days) with 10.5.2 preinstalled on a macbook pro, so this is not a migration problem. Applecare has been unable to resolve the issue. My setup is a Verizon FIOS POP account. I've tried all the repairing, creating keychain suggestions. My incoming and outgoing accounts function properly, then they mysteriously forget the login credentials. Is there any fix for this, this seems absurd coming from a PC background? Thanks.

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.
