Apps. no longer working on iPhone

Hi, I got an iPhone yesterday and I downloaded some of the free game apps. from the Apps store. They loaded and worked fine, until I synced some songs onto it with iTunes. Now the icons for the apps are on the home page, but when I tap them to open only the first page or spash screen comes up for a couple of seconds then it goes right back to the home page.
I have tried to resync them through iTunes, but nothing changes. I have tried to reinstall from the apps store, but it says they are installed. I have even reset my iPhone, but no luck. The icons are there, but they are not grey as others have had problems with. It is like part of the file is missing. I can't figure out how to unistall them, so I can reinstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, David.

To uninstall an app from your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, choose Selected Applications under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Uncheck the app in the window below that you want removed from your iPhone followed by a sync. To re-install an app, reselect the app in the window below followed by a sync.
Which firmware version is installed on your iPhone? If an app has been updated for the current firmware version which is 2.2.1 and you haven't installed 2.2.1, this can cause problems.

  • IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

    I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
    I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
    After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
    "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
    Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
    Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
    I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
    This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
    I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
    Suggestions ?

    Update:
    Issue is still occuring, after resetting wireless router.
    Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSID's turned off, WMM is enabled.

  • Ip camera app no longer working after iphone was replaced

    my wife has an iphone 4s. She accidentally had it in her pocket and put those clothes in the wash machine and fried her phone. we used insurance to replace it and restore her data. 
    i have a foscam FI9826W running app version: 1.4.1.9 and system firmware version: 2.11.1.10 that we have setup as our baby monitor/camera.  i have two other ipads and my iphone 5 configured to access the ip camera over my local network via wifi.
    the apps i am using on all devices are baby monitor by tiny solutions & live cam pro.  both of these apps work on all IOS devices except for my wifes replacement iphone she just got.  Her previous iphone 4s that ended up in the washing machine worked perfectly fine with these apps before it got wet.  The specific problem we are having is my ip camera is a PTZ camera.  all IOS devices are able to PTZ the camera without problems except, yep you guessed it, My wife's new 4s.  we can connect to the camera, see & here everything just fine, the we cannot PTZ the camera.  i have deleted the camera config and re added it on both apps, result no luck. i deleted the apps and reinstalled them then added the camera config back but still no luck. i have restored the phone to factory defaults, and then downloaded those two apps, configured the camera but still no luck. 
    4s is running 7.1.2
    app versions:
    livecam pro 3.9.5
    baby monitor 2.8.4
    internal camera on http: using port 88
    it has a wired Ethernet connection to my home router
    home router is an airport extreme running version 7.6.4 upstairs. and a Unifi AP running version 2.4.5.2077 downstairs. Currently all my IOS devices are connected to the Unifi AP. i have removed her device and had it re associate to the wireless network but still no luck.
    At this point i am stumped. i personally think it is the replacement phone, but need some more evidence to back up my theory so we can call support to hopefully get it replaced again.

    I recently stopped by the apple store and have fixed my mail app! The problem as described to me was caused by a installing apps. Turns out that apps can mess with Mail setting in some way and perhaps due to a bad setting or a bad combination of settings my mail application stopped working. The way I fixed it was to do a restore to New Iphone which, unfortunately, wipes everything! But after syncing back up including re-installing all of my apps, mail works again! Of course, I lost all of my notes, various settings, and lots of other stuff. Turns out that a simple restore, since it backs up your phone beforehand (backing up bad settings at the same time) is not the silver bullet but a full restore to new iphone probably often is. Hope this helps others.

  • Apps no longer working on Original iPhone...

    Acckk!
    As each new upgrade happens some of my apps no longer work and there is no access to older versions of these apps.
    Scanforlife, on this day, etc. now refuse to load on to the phone. Have had issues with AOL Radio which no longer works and was on my main screen, but had to take it off as it wasn't working.
    Appears that one way or another our original iphones are truly being set out to pasture.

    Do you have backups of your hard disc/library to restore the original Apps (ips files) after deleting the updated ones ?

    Apple can do nothing about a 3rd party app not functioning properly. Testing and any required updates for an app is the app developer's responsibility.

  • My facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my laptop!

    Why does my facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my mac book pro?
    I added this app for facebook and then i synced it up with my mac book pro, but afterwards it lost the app, and I can't download it anymore... why is that?
    And how do I manage to put it back on my iphone?

    Hello hersheygirle,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
    Re-download the Facebook APP on your computer and then sync it to the iPhone.
    Make sure your computer is logged into the same iTunes ID that shows up on your iPhone when you try to download an APP on the iPhone.

    my ipod app no longer works. Everytime I go to open the ipod app it stays open for a second and then shuts down. I am not able to get anything to play either through the standard ipod controls or the multitasking control panel. I'm sure there will be an update soon to correct this, i just wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problem.
    wen i open ipod in my iphone ,, it gets stuck ,, and get backs to the menu ,,, and doesnot play anything ,, not video nor song

    If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
    Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • You Tube App no longer working iPad1 Workaround loses all my saved favorites Why?

    Hi everyone!
    The default youtube app on my iPad1, IOS 5.1.1 stopped working about a week ago, presenting "cannot connect to You Tube " as the only Error message.  No Explanation.. no choices... . It shows a sign in screen, no data can be accepted as it says it "cannot connect to You Tube".
    I tried contacting You Tube by various means.  Almost impossible to get through.  I got a phone number.  But they had overload for a week or two now, so saying call back at another time for the "You Tube" choice 3.  Now it says Choice 5 for You Tube questions and a recorded message (no possibility to speak to a human) directs us to go to "You Tube" .com / support.  No help there...  old old connection problems solved back in 2009 and iPods, iPhones  NO iPads at all...  Frustrated...I left that avenue.
    I went to this Help Forum called reddit (before I realized they stole your apple logo) but their answers said to try using the Internet version of You Tube to get around this problem.  So I managed to get the You Tube "mobile" connection on the web to work instead.
    BUT!  All my saved/favorites from the iPad 1  are missing!
    Instead there is a hodgepodge of various You Tubes I've views on other computer devices I've used to access the web from the same ISP, but NOT the sign in /log in for the iPad1!
    How to get my old iPad login working again for all of my favorite You Tube (mostly valuable computer tutorials?  Mostly they are on how to use various apps on the iPad that would take long time or "forever" to search again to get back.
    How to get all my years (five!!) of saved favorite You Tubes  I carry with me on the iPad back again?  (I can't carry a desktop computer around, right?).
    What is going on here?? 
    Does anyone else experience this problem?
    The initial question here came up empty as no one on Apple Community has asked this question before!  Does that mean I'm the only one here asking about the You Tube App on the Apple Community?
    Thank you for reading my long trial and error in trying to repair this issue.

    From what I have been reading on other sites, the app stopoed working when the iPhone 4S was released since it includes Siri. If you look at the box on the right of this thread, you will see other threads just like this one on how the app no longer works.

  • Remote app no longer works with Yosemite.

    Since downloading Yosemite, my Remote app no longer works. Have also been having recurring problems with email security certificates.

    Same problem here after updating my iPad to iOS 6.1 and the Apple TV to the newest firmware. I open the remote app then I select Apple TV the screen switches to connecting to Apple TV but it never finishes it is stuck at connecting to Apple TV. The App has no problem finding the Apple TV but it seems unable to connect, home sharing is activated on the
    App, the iPad and the Apple TV.
    Tried resetting setting and factory restore on the Apple TV, deleting and installing the Remote App in my iPad 3 but the problem persist.
    On a twist the the Remote App on my iPhone 4S updated to iOS 6.1 works perfectly and it has no issues connecting to the Apple TV it seems to be an iPad issue. I will tried connecting to the Apple TV with an updated iPad 2 later and I will report back.

  • Why is my Siri Assistant app no longer working

    Have had the Siri Assistant since last December.  Love it.  Use it all the time.  About two months ago I started getting "failure to connect to server" errors when launching the app.  Now it trys to launch as a brand new app "hello, I'm Suri you're new assistant!"  Then it tells me there is no network connection or slow connection.  Try again or start over gives the same result

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • IPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app?  Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility.  If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

  • IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

    My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.  Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'.  Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

    Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......
