Apps fail to install after restore

I had to get a replacement iPad Mini when the glass cracked on my original. Before I sent the original back, I backed it up as instructed.
But now when I do a restore fro backup, probably half my apps are hung up and have not re-installed. Entire folders are grayed-out because none of the apps in them have re-installed.
Same with my Music (I have very little music on the Mini because of space limitations, but my audiobooks are "there," but not there. Listed, but just a musical note instead of the covers, and not playable).
Photos do seem to all be there.
What's the best way to get my apps back?

I think something went astray at step 22

Apps fail to install after doctoring

We were finally able to figure out how to get the doctoring process to complete. But are now faced with another problem. None of the apps will reinstall. Only those that are resident with the TP came back. All of the others Fail to Download. In Software Manager, they are all tagged with the little yellow triangle with an exclamation point. Attempting to download any one of them manually resultsSf in Install Failed. It looks like some kind of index is missing?
Anyone know what to do next?

You will most likely need to install the App Catalog update again.

Adobe apps fail to launch after copying via ARD 3

For several years we have beeen updating our Adobe apps by updating our master image and copying (via ARD v.1, then v.2, now v. 3) the applications and the associated Application Support files to the target machines. (300 Macs running Tiger) Since upgrading to version 3 of ARD. Adobe apps fail to launch after they are replaced, even with the old files.
I found a post alluding to a known issue with Acrobat from June. It stated it was a known bug that engineering was aware of. THAT was the only mention I could find. Does anyone know anything more about this? This is critical for our publishing workflow - Adobe has two updates that affect us in critical areas that we need to implement, but are reluctant to visit 300 individual desktops (even remotely) and run individual install patches.
The silent install works great for installation, but does not address updates.
Anyone?

Just FYI. I only had problems with InDesign not launching but this was a know issue with Adobe:

IOS app fails to install on iPod touch using flash professional cs5.5

I am having trouble testing apps on my 3rd generation iPod touch. The very first app I tried to put on there worked, the app was called mynewapp. Then I tried to put another app on there using the same provisional profile and same app id, the app failed to install. It didn’t matter if mynewapp was on my iPod touch or not. No matter what app I tried to put on my iPod touch they all failed to install, the only one I could get on there was mynewapp. I even created an app with the exact same code as mynewapp and this new app failed to install.
Then I created a new provisional profile using the same app id that my first profile was using. I tried putting an app using the new provisional profile this app failed to install for the second time. The first time it was using the old profile.
Then I created a new provisional profile with a new app id and I took an app and tied it to this new profile and app id this app seemed to install on the iPod touch. Right now only two apps can be installed on my iPod touch each app is using a different profile and app id. If I were to copy one of these apps and use the copy that was just created to replace the old version on my iPod touch the app would failed to install.
I have spent over a week trying just about everything to fix this problem. I remember reading that multiple apps can have the same app id.
I’m using a windows 7 64 bit computer with flash professional 5.5. Furthermore iTunes, Flash pro, AIR and my iPod touch are all up-to-date.
What could be the problem?
I’m sorry if this seems so long it is just I have tried many different things.

As Colin says make sure your device is still supported by the newer AIR.
Here's a page which you can check
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tech-specs.html
Adobe stopped supporting older devices (after AIR 2.5 i think), so you can either re compile it with the older AIR or else move onto a newer device. Had the same issue with an iPhone 3g which no longer works.

Microsoft Office Apps fail to work after 10.6.7 update

Has anyone else's office apps failed to open after installing the OS update?
This is a brand new iMac only 5 days old using office 2011 with current updates.
Regards.
Mike.

After doing some Internet research and speaking with a second-level Apple tech, together we came up with the following solution.
Shut down, then start in safe-mode (hold shift key while re-starting). This will clear the font cache and re-build it. After doing this, when I started Word 2004 it took some time, but it showed the following fonts as corrupt: APC Courier, Bastion, Chicago TU, Courier TU, Latinski - and indicated they should be removed. Word then started up even though I just clicked OK to those messages and didn't remove them. I then re-started Word and it came up normally even though those fonts are still in the font book. By the way, I have downloaded the freeware app "Fontnuke-1.17," but haven't used it yet. There is a shareware app, "Fontfinagler," which may also be useful if safe mode doesn't work for you.

During sync I received a message that says an app failed to install

When syncing my ipod touch 4th generation an error message appeared on my ipod that said a particular app failed to install. Any suggestions?

- Delete the app from iTunes and redownload and sync. Maybe it got corrupted.
- Try downloading the app directly on the iPod.

Apps fail to install during iPad restore from backup

I made a clean backup of my iPad2/iOS6, rebooted everything, then tried to restore from backup and there's a bunch of apps that failed to install. I've repeated this process 3x; every time it seems to be a different # of failed to install apps (3-80!!). I now have almost a full page of icons/folders with blank install bars under them.
Did anyone find a solution to this?!

Haven't tried setting up as new. I did the restore and then when itunes asked me, I selected the restore from a backup that was created yesterday. I'll try setup as new first and then restore from backup after? It's going to be a real pain if I have to start everything from scratch :(

Why do I keep having an app that fails to install, after syncing with iTunes on my computer?

One or two months ago, I purchased EA's game 'Need for Speed Most Wanted', when it was on special for $1.29 NZ. I downloaded the app onto my iPod touch (4th generation 8GB), and later synced the app with my computer. A few weeks later I deleted this app from my iPod to free up some space (this is around a 1.8GB app by the way). In the past few days I have tried syncing this app from the computer to my iPod. Every time I sync, the app loads fine, and starts installing for a few minutes, but then comes up with a message saying: 'Most Wanted' failed to install. If I try syncing the app several more times, I then get a message saying: 'Unable to Download Item. The operation couldn't be completed (SSMobileInstallationErrorDomain error -402620393.)'. I am using a Windows 7 laptop with the latest version of iTunes. My iPod is running iOS 6.1.3. I have two apple id's, the first being signed in on my laptop, and the second being signed in on my iPod. The id's are both authorised with the laptop, and my iPod is associated with both id's as a device. I don't think this would have contributed to the problem though. This has become very frustrating! Can anyone please help?

How much free storag do y have on the iPod? I would try freeing up more and try syncing again.
If your country allows redownloading app, then delete the app from the computer and redownload and sync
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Try redownloading directly to the iPod. Note you wil need about 5.4 GB free on the iPod.
See:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

Why apps failed to install on my iPhone 4s after sync from itunes?

I just bought an iPhone 4S. I tried to sync all my favorite apps from iTunes to my new iPhone 4S i just bought. But I don't know what happen that some of apps successfully sync to iPhone 4S and some of the app said "failed to install" on my iPhone screen. This never happen before when I was using my iPhone 3GS...If anyone have any idea why this happen, please let me know.. Thank a lot...

Same issue on 4s AND IPSW 5.0
Any file I download from the appstore on my computer, and try to sync with my phone, will say "Appname" failed to install.
This wasn't happening before I saw the the update option for 5.0.1
Apple please don't change my phone's usablility when you want to update.
I think this is apples way of forcing people to update.
Say what you want about windows, but at least we have the freedom there to do what we want with purchased devices.

Creative Cloud management app failed to install, again, remedy, clue

It failed yet again today for me, but in a particular way, and thereby gave a clue at least of one probably unknown failure mode which I can pass on.
- I was trying to install the very latest Creative Cloud manager, which self-announced itself today 12 February 2014 when I tried to use it to check for updated applications.
- it downloaded and started to run, then failed with the very clever 'failed to install' small alert. A small alert for very small knowledge of the actual cause? Surely you can do better.
- I went on the forums and found all the times and ways this has caught up others before. I saw the 'rename OOBE folder' trick, and remembered that thus was the only thing that would actually fix the Creative Cloud manager one or more times before on my computers.
- thus I tried to rename OOBE after killing every Adobe-named app in the Windows 8.1 Task Manager, and failed -- due to some nameless program holding it open.
- I then stopped and restarted the machine.
- I thought a moment and realized I'd run another Adobe installer an hour or two before, to updated Premiere Elements 11 to the latest possible Adobe Camera Raw as its updater offered.
- thus instead of renaming OOBE, I ran the Adobe Creative Cloud manager updater when it offered again towards the end of booting up
- this time it succeeded, hence I believe that other Adobe ACR installer had been at fault, leaving files unclosed or otherwise locked within OOBE. That's the new clue to Adobe developers.
- If this hadn't succeeded, I'd have stopped and restarted the machine again, and then renamed C:\Program Files(x86)/Common/Adobe/OOBE.
I think this renaming is a lot better way to proceed (stop/start, adding possibly safe boot with no startup apps if OOBE remains locked to renaming when that method may be needed) than using the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanup tool as the troubleshooting page recomnmends.
The reason: this benighted cleanup tool does _not_ offer any way to remove Creatuive Cloud manager itself, even though support here suggests that it does. You can only choose variations which insist on uninstalling all your Adobe programs, CS6 included with Creative Cloud ones. I am not going to do that except at extreme duress. So far renaming OOBE and thus forcing Creative Cloud to recreate it has fixed every one of the blind, unspecific, and prevalent errors with Creative Cloud.
I think that much better work can be done on this Creative Cloud software, but I am constrained by a particular American folk tale told to children, which suggests 'If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything.'
I can only say that respect will be gained not by talk, or telling a lot of complicated procedures to recover software that costs like an automobile.
Respect will only be gained by really involving yourself, learning, and then doing all of this correctly. That's what every respected software developer in the world does.

Jeff, thanks equally for coming back on this.
- I did begin the process on the page you linked.
- when I got to the step running the CC Cleaner tool, it offered me no option to remove the Creative Cloud Manager -- only to remove all my apps, which are largely CS6. This is counter to the suggestion that you can remove just the manager, and not welcome as you will understand.
- it was at this point that I recovered the procedure of just shifting OOBE out of play. When this wasn't possible due to invisibly held open folders or files, I realized the problem might have been due to the earlier Premiere 11 ACR update (you have to think a bit for reasons why it might want to do that...).
- Thus when I stopped and restarted to assure a clean reboot, I thought to just let the Creative Cloud Manager try again when it offered this.
- Without further intercession, this time the Creative Cloud Manager succeeded.
I would say that the move-OOBE-out-of-play to force recreate (or sometimes it has been move a certain file in OOBE) is a much preferred repair that has always worked for me in the numerous failures of Creative Cloud Manager over the last year. We don't really want to spend the hours and take the risk of removing all our Adobe CS and/or CC applications, plus adding all of their updates again, as you will also understand.
This points to a way Adobe could very much lower the agony of the Creative Cloud Manager, its updates and its crossed wires. I do appreciate the problem, though not why at your budget levels it hasn't had a definitive response. Some experience directing projects and having to take over offshore team management directly might suggest where you are finding the difficulty, at least.
In the mean time, why not put in place a recovery for failed Creative Cloud Manager activities including updates, which would simply and automatically do the task of accurately renaming the OOBE folder (for each attempt, no matter how many times it had been done before)j, then triggering a restart followed by reinstall and information recovery of the Creative Cloud Manager? It could be something like Microsoft's Fix-Its, for convenience, which would also leave open a doorway to reversal if somehow necessary.
I suggest you might lower the incidence of this genre of problems by a very large factor if you were to do so, replacing the presently procedure with its flaws for those employing Adobe software.
Anyway, I hope the suggestion leads in positive ways for your products, and wish your team a good day.

Adobe Desktop Application no longer loads after failing to install After Effects CC

Hi,
I just tried to install After Effects from the Desktop Application and it failed. Not only that, the application crashed and won't load anymore. I tried a reboot and it didn't do anything. I can see the process "Creative Cloud" in Activity Monitor, but nothing in the Apple Toolbar where it normally resides.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm using Mac OS 10.7.5 on a Mac Pro.
