Apps Icons Move After Each Update

Does anyone else get this: every time there is an update for an app and it is installed, the icon for the app moves to the last screen, at the end. One has to manually move icons back as they were. There also seem to be updates for a lot of these apps every day which seems a bit overkill, but to have to keep moving them around is a drag.

I'm sure some people would say this problem is not that big of a deal, but it happens to me and it's certainly annoying. I think it's just sloppy programming on Apple's part for not installing the updated application's icon in the original spot. I mean how hard would it be to say...oh, let's make a note of where the icon is located and when we're done updating the application, we will put the icon back in its original spot. Come on Apple, stop this kind of sloppy programming, or are the same programmers who work on the iPhone also working on MobileMe.
P.S. I also always leave feedback to Apple, everyone should do this not just post in the forums.

App Icons Move After 3.0 Install

FYI... Just in case you get scared that all of your icons are removed, they are placed on the next page on your iPhone after the 3.0 software installs.

As a follow-up...
For me this ended up being a problem with iTunes, and not the phone or upgrade process.
I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes a few days before the iPhone OS upgrade was released, but hadn't sync'ed between the iTunes upgrade and the phone firmware upgrade. Apparently, iTunes lost track of where my apps were stored, so when I performed the phone OS upgrade it couldn't reload most/all of my purchased apps.
I was able to tell which apps were 'lost' by going to iTunes > Library > Applications, right-clicking on each one, and selected "Get Info". If the location of the app was not known to iTunes, it would pop up with a "Locate or Cancel" dialog box. Selecting "Locate" and then manually finding the application worked.

My apps icon shows I have updates but when I go to the page it does not show the updates

My apps icon show I have updates but when I go to the page nothing shows up.

The update server is down; try this temporary workaround
App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

Bookmarks go missing after each update - why???

with frequent updates, after each update all my bookmarks have gone

Which update to Mac OS X are you speaking of? Your profile is incomplete; you should indicate exactly which Mac model and speed you have, along with the specific version fo Mac OS X and any external peripherals that may be connected. There was no update for Mail. And where did you get IE for Mac, since it hasn't been available for several years now, not even from Microsoft. It's dead; extremely insecure, unsupported, kaput.
As for your bookmarks, I don't think they're gone, since you didn't find them in the Trash; they're probably still on your system. You should look in this directory for a file named Bookmarks.plist: /Users/your username/Library/Safari. If you see it there, then you do have them; if not, try searching your entire hard drive for that specific file to see if it's still there and where it's located.
If her hard drive has 10 GB or less of space, time to start clearing out the junk you don't need or don't use. That fact alone could have been a factor in this problem, but it's unclear at this point.

HD icon moves after restart

Hi, silly, but annoying problem. Recently, my HD icon moves after I restart my machine. Only icon to do this. I usually keep it in the upper right hand corner, but now it seems happier in the lower right hand corner - below a folder I have there. This is really annoying. I keep moving it back, and the stubborn fella returns below. I tried in preferences to uncheck it and then recheck it, but no go. Any thoughts? It's driving me crazy. Even more, why did it just decide to change zip codes?
Thanks all.

You might try Onyx or Yasu (utilities that are donation ware/freeware) and delete the ds.store files which are supposed to keep track of this. You could also delete your user finder plist(com.apple.finder.plist). If the files are corrupted then they can mess things up.
Also, as Ali says, putting them too close to the side of the screen is like telling the icon " Your master has screwed up and you are free to go where ever you want now.". Put it close to the upper right corner where you want then let the Finder accurately place it by selecting View and then Cleanup.
Occasionally, my icons like to wander. I just get used to it (or have been beaten down by it) and no longer ask why.

ITunes 9.2.1 & iPhone 3GS iOS 4.0.1 - Apps Icons Missing After Sync

As stated on the title.
It was syncing fine with all the icons and everything when I was running 3.1.3, but after i updated to the new iOS and the new iTunes, the apps have been getting funky. Sometimes they'll go missing or moved around quite a bit. Anyone else have this problem? I have two other co-workers with the same problem. I am running Windows 7 64-Bit
First co-worker: 3GS on iOS 4.0.1 & iTunes 9.2.1 - Using Windows XP
Second co-worker: 3G on iOS 3.1.2 & iTunes 9.2.1 - Using Windows 7 32-bit
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Is this a common problem with the new iTunes?

I had the problem where I got an unknown error when upgading from 3.1.3 to 4.0.1 last night. It put my phone into recovery & said that I had to restore it. Tried to twice but I still kept getting the unknown error message. Wasn't until I restarted my computer that it let me restore.
All of my music, videos, contacts, etc are fine. But I found that none of my apps were restored to the phone. So I had to go back through & manually drag each one back onto the iPhone in iTunes and then re-sync it. But now none of the apps will load or open. I have tried switching the phone off & back on a number of times but it hasn't helped.
Next I am going to try to restore again & see if that helps. From what I understand, the apps should have also been restored from the previous backup. Am not sure what happened in my case though

Apps icon not showing that updates are available

I was my understanding that when updates were available, the Apps icon was supposed to display the number, in red, similar to email and chat, etc. However, the number displays only after I enter the Apps store. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Is it a bug? Anyone else having this problem?

So what's the purpose of the indicator if it won't display anything until you've already checked for updates? There needs to be some kind of Push notification -- just like there is for email and chat. Current behavior just doesn't make sense.
Just going to the App Store triggers it for me so I never go to any "check for updates" option. I go to the App Store quite often so I generally am notified pretty quickly on new versions of apps.

I am unable to update my apps in IPAD1. The App icon lists the available updates but seems to be frozen.

I am unable to update my apps in IPAD 1. The App icon lists the updates but appears to be frozen. The individual app icons show the space where "waiting" usually appears and do not work. If I touch the apps icons, I get a message that states..."Unable to download. Do you want to try again." (or something similar).

See if this helps. Reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Reboot/reset your iPad as well and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Safari / App Store crashing after mavericks update

Weird stuff after Mavericks update. Internet connection is fine, Chrome works perfect.
Safari attempts to open webpage, but shows 6-9 white boxes surrounded by green border in the upper left hand corner of the page. The webpage will show up, then safari crashes. If I disable Javascript, then smaller boxes show up, but safari is usable.
App Store will also open, but shows nothing.
Disk Utility has a bunch of Open Error 1 and Open Error 5
Any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

BMW i3 Remote app is crashing after todays update. Why?

I installed the latest version of the BMW i3 Remote app which was updated to support the Apple Watch. After installing there update the app continually crashes. Any updates on why this is occurring?

BMW released yet another new version of the i Remote app last night. I installed this one over the top the the previous (updated) version and all was just fine. The only comment from BMW was "Apple Watch Support" and "Bug Fixes" I think BMW really need to follow Tesla in more comprehensive release notes for their software updates - same goes for the car.
Having said all that I would suggest it is best practice with this app to delete and reinstall when there is an update. I agree that there must have been a database structure change and this caused the crashing issue.
best regards,
Justin.

Mail app keeps crashing after Yosemite update

I just bought a new MB Pro a couple of months ago. Hardly any apps installed.
After the upgrade to Yosemite the mail app keeps crashing when I launch it. I have read a lot of other topics but I can't find a solution.
Anybody out there who can help me? Or should I just wait on an update for this?
Regards
Rob

Did a clean install of Yosemite after issues with constant crashes on a mid-2010 MacBook Pro. Then tried Migration Assistant which hung up forever (12 hours) at 7 minutes to go. Forced quit and rebooted. I tried this after the initial reinstall transferring files from the worthless non-function software rouse called "Time Machine" which should be renamed "Waste of Time Machine". So I have spent endless hours on various Apple support forums on Time Machine, Migration Assistant, and Apple Mail forums, with dozens of users with similar or the very same issues. The most striking thing in all these forums is that there are no "this solved my problem" posts, and any response from any Apple support person or employee is 100% absent. I have used nothing but Macs since 1987. In the last few weeks I've spent more time trying to solve Mac computer OS issues than using my Macs. The Tim Cook era is starting to mirror the Ken Scully era when Apple was the company you loved to hate. Lovely hardware designs -- crappy worthless software. No mail, no 8000 image iPhoto library (despite two levels of backups) - no way to recovery that I can discover. Spaceship buildings, silly watches (which I predict will go the way of the of the Newton), daft Siri, and complete lack of focus on software that actually functions with the pretty hardware. I love my iPad and iPhone, but I see Windows and Android in my future, after 27 years of blind, and in retrospect, misplaced Apple loyalty. The Apple Titanic has an iceberg dead ahead of it that it is too blind to see.

Sounds in apps not working after iOS8 update

Has anyone else had issues with apps not playing sound after the update? I have a 5S and have reset it with no luck; sound plays through earbuds just fine, also plays the typing sound without earbuds. Seeing this with YouTube and Facebook as well as other embedded media.

I lost all my apps in itune after the update

HI,
I lost all my apps, music and videos after I updated itunes. How can I get back all my content I purchased?
Thanks,

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
