Apps don't work after sync

After syncing iPhone to iTunes (on Mac), I can not use any of my downloaded apps until I download a new one. I think this has to do with the fact that iTunes is linked to [email protected] while the iphone insists on using [email protected] If this is the case Apple really needs to fix it to allow users to use mac.com on their iPhones. I've had a .mac account since the service came out and do not plan on telling all my acquaintances to use me.com now. I know mac.com will work for incoming mail (dns points to the same server) but the whole thing is silly. Anyway, is anyone else having the same issue?

I have not experienced the same.
I've had a .Mac account since 2004 with my .Mac email address used for my iTunes account since that time, and my iPhone does not insist on using at me.com instead since the change to MobileMe. For those with a .Mac account, when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail application using the MobileMe account preset and entering their .Mac email address, the account should be created accordingly, not switched to the @me address to appear as the sending email address, or switched to the @me address for the iTunes account if iTunes on their computer is logged in with their @mac address when syncing their iPhone with iTunes.
Apple hasn't prevented using your .Mac email address with the iPhone's Mail application, or with the Mail.app on your Mac, or with any email client on any computer or device.

What to do if iPhone apps don't work after syncing with iTunes

Just wanting to share this with anyone who may have the same problem.
This is what I did: All I did was authorised my computer to transfer apps into my iTunes.
This may also help (depending on the cause of the problem)

(Thanks to Jim for sending this link but apparently my solution was a much simpler one)
Hope this helps! Cheerios!

Try this - worked for me:
on the iPhone, go Settings-->General-->Restricitons and either turn all Restrictions off OR if they are on make sure 'Installing Apps' is ON.

My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC

My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC through Itunes....though all the apps are shown in the Apps window in Itunes (The Apps match the iTunes account on the iPhone).....
Disconnecting after the sync and After downloading any app from Appstore through Wi-Fi all my apps start working.....
Please Help.....

What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.

IPhone 3GS apps don't work after 4.3 upgrade

Some apps like mail, safari, app store, ipod don't work after upgrading to iOS 4.3. itues is up to date and have never had issues before. tried to downgrade to 4.2 but was unable to. Help!

I have the same issue, half the apps no longer work, just stays in 'updating' mode. I've tried uninstalling some but now the app store is freezing. THe ones I am able to reinstall give me error message saying I'm not logging in correctly (I am).

Start and Start apps don't work after System Restore

Hey guys, I tried to install Andy (Android emulator) on my PC today and I had to reboot after the setup was complete. This time when booting up, my computer froze before login screen. I've restarted the computer several times, but no login screen.
So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old) and voila, everything works like it should...
Except for Start menu, Cortana & search bar and notifications. Restarting explorer.exe didn't fix the problem. Even Start menu apps like Music or Store don't work... Only way to open the Settings app is to click on my network connection icon. Help please!
I'm using build 9926

..............So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old)...............
It is possible that you are missing the updates that were installed in that 2 days. You rolled back 2 days, now you need to reinstall those updates.
If you cannot use Start Menu, please follow this instruction given by Insider Hub......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes or Confirm
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart
Good luck.

All apps don't work after backup restore

My iphone 4 got stolen last week and so I bought a new iphone 4.
Installed a bunch of apps when I got it. Then I plugged it into my laptop and itunes asked if I wanted to restore from back up (of my original iphone 4) or activate as new phone.
I clicked restore from back up original iphone 4. Then after it loaded & did everything, I unplugged my iphone and none of my apps or email work anymore.
When I click on any of my apps, it opens for 1 sec and then closes, returning back to the home page.
For email I tried to go on 'add new account' and re-enter details, it does not work. Nothing happens when I enter the details. It doesn't register my new account.
Please help?? What should I do?

Few apps don't work after Anna update

I got a new N8 recently (my last one was stolen, insurance covered most of it though) but with the same product code and everything. Of corse, it didn't come with Anna pre-installed (it actually came with PR1.0 and I remembered how horrible the phone used to be). However, I updated to Anna with Ovi Suite without problems but I had a few weird experiences with the additional 1/2 and 2/2, for instance, when the phone found these updates it said that they were about 30-40 kB which obviously is wrong, and it took a while to install them. Then later I got them both again but this time they had the right size. 1/2 installed without problems but I had to try with 2/2 several times before it (")worked(").
Anyways, some apps like fMobi (pay-version) and the swedish app for public transportation don't work anymore. Don't know if they did on my last N8 after update. The additional updates were supposed to fix some non-working apps but it certainly isn't that way with my N8...advice please?

Just to point out that the fMobi stopped working in my N8 too after the update.
Uninstalled and reinstalled no end.
But I found that if you go to the fMobi facebook page, he say's that wiith the new controls put in by facebook, it has somehow messed up the App. Check his page out and see what he says.

Apps won't work after sync and software update

Just syncd my ipod 4. Now FB, games and other apps won't work. The screen just goes blank. Re did the sync and still nothing. I really don't want to restore the settings because I have a lot of info on this pod. What can I do?

Try restarting your iPod by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, if that don't work try double clicking your home button to open your multi-task window hold you finger on the first app until it start to wiggle and the red minus sign shows up in the left corner tap the red minus sign to close all of your open programs.

try updating to the latest itunes and restoring

Apps don't work after itunes sync and or ipod update!

Today when I clicked on my apps they'd open for a split second and then close down. I did some searching on this forum and as a result deleted all my apps and re-installed them again (time consuming and frustrating as all my game data is gone!) and now they work.
I assume this has to do with me either syncing my ipod with itunes for the 1st time yesterday or downloading an apple update for my ipod touch.
Does anyone know if this is a regular problem (i.e is this going to happen everytime I sync my ipod or update it?) and is there any fix other than me deleting and re-installing my apps?
Thanks!

According to some of the AppleCare advisors that I've spoken with, a reset as you've mentioned can result in data loss.
And according to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430 :
"Important: Only reset your iPhone or iPod touch if it is no longer responding."

Some Apps don't work after an upgrade IOS to 6.1.1

Description of the problem with my iPhone 4 after an upgrade from iOS 5.1 to 6.1.1:
Some Apps try to start but stopped immidiatly.
The issue for my case:
Try to find your App trough the App Store on your iPhone.
The status of this App should be open. (but when you try to open it, it won't !!!)
Use the main button to go back to your App and delete it.
Go back to Apps Store and reinstall your App.
Check the progress of the installation.
When the install is done open your App again and it should be working again.
Best regards,
Schotel

Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
