Apps don't run

Why do my apps or games that I purchase fail to load after awhile so that I have to reload them and loose everything or they don't load after the updates.?

I had the same problem, as far as apps crashing is concerned, this thread was my solution: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2257451&tstart=45 Wjosten's post for a windows vista concerning the SC info fixed my apps. I think I may need to re download them because i'm having little glitches but nothing major that can't be fixed. Here is what was suggested in that thread:
"If it's your vista machine, try this: (itunes not running).
1. Open Computer from the Start menu.
2. From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
6. Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:
C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
7. Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
8. Restart the computer.
Then SC folder will be rebuilt, launch itunes, sync your phone, see if your apps work now."
I haven't re synced my videos yet but i figure they will work as well. I hope this works for you!

  • Some app don´t run

    What exact behaviors are you seeing when you attempt to open the apps? Do they bounce in the Dock at all, or only bounce once, or do you see any errors or warnings pop up?

  • My apps don't run any more, they just launch and close

    I have a 3gs, and about 10 days ago I upgraded to 4.3.3. On Saturday, 5/13/11, I was able to use all of my apps. On Sunday when I run any of my non - default apps stopped working. They would launch then close within 1/4 second. This occured for all of the apps I tried, including Flashlight. I could not see a pattern other than the standard apps worked and the non standard don't.

    I restarted my phone. same result.
    I after doing a backup, I reset my phone and restored from backup. The result was that ALL of my non default apps are gone. Poof. I am working with iTunes to have my apps be reautherized. I am not sure that will fix the original problem.
    I did not try to down load a new free app. I wish I had tried that.
    The reason for this post is to see if there was some fairly well know problem that I had run into and there was a known fix for the problem.

  • Apps don't run; protected media doesn't play

    This issue crops up repeatedly on the web. A variety of solutions are discussed, including installing an app, restoring a backup, resetting the phone, and so forth. None of these has worked for me (including restoring the phone from scratch, as if new - which amazes me).
    On day 1, hour 1 of a 7 day trip I was sitting on a plane reading a book in Kindle iPhone. I switched the phone to airplane mode and resumed reading. A few moments later I powered off the phone for takeoff.
    When I turned it on again I could not access apps or protected music. Some sort of authentication or authorization file or data item had clearly been corrupted.
    The additional wrinkle is my upgrade to win 7, which I had just performed. I didn't have a backup to restore. Restoring as a new phone has not worked. A sync to iTunes changed all the music into 'other'. This was cleaned up after a reset.
    Is there no official word on exactly which file has become corrupted? Why does iTunes not repair this file during sync? Clearly there us bad data somewhere in my backup or the repository maintained in iTunes. Signing in and out of the app store or iTunes (on the iPhone) doesn't fix it either.
    It seems quite ridiculous that I can purchase, download and install an app on my iPhone, and then not be able to run it.

  • What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

    What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

    Make sure your apps are updated.  You might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads - Updates = "On".
    You cannot go back to an old operating system.

  • HT201401 How do I close out my apps (Facebook, iTunes,etc.) so I don't run up my data usage?

    How do I close out my apps (Facebook, iTunes,etc.) so I don't run up my data usage?

    Generally just tapping the home button when in the app will close it. However, I feel you are referring to closing in the multi-tasking tray. Tap the home button twice, the list will come up. Then swipe upwards on the thumbnail of the app and it will close.

  • Old apps that don't run with Lion

    I've just installed Lion in order to use iCloud, quite a few of my apps no longer run, I wondered if it is possible to Partition an external hard drive with the previous os along with my older apps so I can still use them?

    Yes.
    When you boot hold down the option key to get a list of bootable volumes.  Navigate with the left/right arrows and press return when you highlight the desired boot volume.
    Use the Startup Disk ssystem preferences to set which one you want to default to when you don't want to switch boot with the option key.

  • Force run apps don't deploy on some machines causing zen icons toflash at intervals

    I'm having a problem lately, with new apps that I'm creating (for
    example Acrobat Reader 9.4) not deploying on some machines. I have them
    set to force run, user associated. They appear in application explorer,
    and if I manually launch them, they will install just fine. I have
    conditions for availability based on version, so if the app has been
    installed, it will no longer show in application explorer.
    I had this happen a few months ago, and I thought it was one particular
    app I had just sent out, so I just manually ran it on the affected
    workstations, but now I'm seeing the same workstations having the issue.
    The workstations are running the last released ZDM 7 agent, and the
    Servers are Netware 6.5 SP8 patched up to the last released Zen 7
    version. (I removed the existing agent and reinstalled the latest agent
    HP4, msi dated 5/14/2010)
    I've deleted nalcache, and that had no effect. Naldiag shows the apps
    are there and passed the tests, but I think that there is actually a
    problem with another app that had been previously created that is
    preventing these from working.
    I'm just looking for some areas to check to figure this out. I'm not
    seeing any errors, it just doesn't launch the force run apps. The vast
    majority of the machines run them absolutely fine.
    -------------- Update ---------------
    I was waiting to post this to check one more thing, and I had to reboot
    the machine. The user had gone home for the day so I logged in as a
    different user and now the apps are deploying, so this appears to be
    something perhaps in the registry for that user? I was afraid this
    would happen.. I'll have to find another broken machine to do further
    testing on.
    Any ideas how to track this down? The apps that were "stuck" are new
    applications, they aren't modified old applications where I would be
    worried about the guid being changed or anything weird.
    I'm guessing the moment I create another force run app to update
    something that I am going to see the exact same problem recur.

    There's nothing of interest in the logs that I can find. As for taking
    things away, I thought about that as well, however when I set up a brand
    new machine and install zen, all of the applications force run just fine
    and install... Very odd. What makes the workstations stop blinking is
    for me to remove the force run on the new apps, or manually run them.
    I guess I could take away force run on all the other stuff that's
    already installed, that would be rather strange for one of those to be
    the culprit.

  • Are you allowing upgrades to apps that say they will run on iOS 5.0 to be downloaded(but actually don't run at all), so as to weed out the ipad1 population ?

    IS there a background intent to eliminate ipad1 devices/users from your support effort ? That would seem the case, when I download an upgrade that causes the app not to run anymore.Well conceived.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support. If an app's developer has released an update to their app that causes it to no longer work then delete the app (which will also delete its content, so first copy off anything that you want) and resync your backup copy of the previous version from your computer, and contact the app's developer.

    That is a lot of page outs for just a day and a half of being up.  It is most likely the reason why Mac OS X terminated a lot of its daemons to give more space to what you were doing at the time.  Did you do something in the 32 hours your system was up before the EtreCheck that would account for that high pageout number?  Something that is very VERY Memory Intensive?

    You kernel_task looked about right for 8GB of RAM. Most of that is virtual memory page tables for the apps you are running.  As a point of comparison, I have 16GB and my kernel_task is 1.25GB of RAM.

    I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
    did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
    What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
    It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
    If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
    Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • Apps don't start under Mac OS X 10.4.10 / Java 1.5.0_07, zeroRect Exception

    I'm using Mac OS X for a while and always install the latest updates from Apple, so this might have something to do with it.
    Today I tried starting two of my applications that I've written two or three month ago, but both quit a second or so after launching with:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: zeroRect
    (Full console below)
    When I try to start Apple's (?) Programme/Dienstprogramme/Java/J2SE 5.0/Java Preferences, it doesn't start fully as well with the following error message shown in a dialog:
    Die Java-Anwendung kann nicht gestartet werden
    Nicht abgefangene Ausnahme in main-Methode :
    java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: zeroRect
    All those apps have ran some time in the past without problems.
    When I start another of my applications that doesn't use a menu, this runs without causing any problems.
    Compiling works fine for all mentioned applications (no errors or warnings).
    How can I get my programs running again?
    This are the text's of the console output of the two apps:

    Hi Tobbi,
    SL version 4. Reinstalled many times. Running Windows 7.
    Not sure exactly what version I was running prior to 3.6.6.
    Tried version 4 beta - didn't work. Found 3.5 and it works.
    When I run, I get the white screen with the dots going around in a circle forever (Silverlight loading thing). I could send you a screen shot, but I really don't want to go back to 3.6.6.
    I set a break point at the earliest possible place in my code and it never gets there.

  • Suddenly apps don't start or crash while starting: Possible reasons?

    Hello,
    from one minute to the next I've got massive problems with a lot of apps:
    they don't start or crash while starting (resp. while executing a function).
    I don't have any clue what could have happened. Last software-specific action
    I did (half hour before the problems appeared) was to update the Flash player
    (in the meantime I've removed it with App Cleaner).
    Troubleshooting steps I've tried:
    -- Start the Mac in Save Mode
    -- Use Apple Hardware Test (no damage found)
    -- Repair permissions
    -- Check the volume with Disc Utiliy (no damage found)
    I've also tried to use Onyx, but the app refuses my admin password
    although it is valid and works.
    The specs of my Mac:
    -- Mac Mini Late 2012
    -- Yosemite 10.10.2
    -- RAM 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (Samsung)
    -- 500 GB SSD Samsung 840 EVO
    The following excerpts are from the crash reports of some of the apps.
    Is someone out there who understand them and can give me
    informations about the possible reason for the crashes?
    Thank you,
    Thomas

Maybe you are looking for
