Apps stop working after sync

Hi whenever I sync my new iPad3 with iTunes my apps no longer open, the screen just goes grey briefly then goes back to the home screen, the way I've been getting around this is by installing any free app then uninstalling again and everything works fine after this but is there a way to stop this happening in the first place or am I doing something wrong?

I've just noticed the 'more like this' section on the right with similar problems and it appears to be a common problem with iTunes not being authorised so I have now done that and hopefully it'll be fine now. I just opened iTunes then went to store-authorise this computer.

IPhone 4 Apps stop working after sync

Everytime I sync my I phone my downloaded apps will not open. I can correct this by downloading another App but that is a pain. I want to be able to sync my iPhone and not have my app stop working.

App Store Apps Stop Working After Sync

On my 3G, I have paid, downloaded & used 4 apps from the apps store. They have worked fine until synching. After Sync, the icons still appear on my phone but the appps no longer work.

Hi all,
I've had exactly the same problem, even though I did not play with the authorize/deauthorize stuff. The computer's always been running iTunes and has always been authorized, the only new thing was the iPhone 8GB. What happened is that one app was updated through iTunes (though all apps downloaded over the air). After that update (+sync) none of the "uncore" apps were working.
The solution that worked for me was effectively to download a new app over the air - filling the iTunes password again - and poof, all other apps were working again.
Good luck to you all, guys and ladies !
iPhone's great apart of that slight prob. Might try to update to iTunes 8 anyway.

2ng gen ipod touch, Apps NEVER work after sync, please help a noob

2ng gen ipod touch, Apps NEVER work after sync.
am i missing something? i basically have to lose all my apps in order to add tunes.
its doing my head in, Help pweeeessee..

Hi
Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 provides more general troubleshooting tips for applications purchased from the App store.

Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for. Why did this happen?

I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day. I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game. I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again. I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
EDIT
Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again. So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
I have to keep pushing on either one of the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.

Mail app stopped working after upgrade to Mavericks

Dear All,
I have updated from Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro 3,1, 256SSD) to Mavericks, and mail app stopped working.
That means - when I click the icon - the app does not work.
I can see that it downloads mail - as when I click it I receive notifcation that it has downloaded some mail, however I cannot open window. Sometimes I manage to open it, but it is totally unresponsive - I cannot change or click anything in it.
I have tried repairing disk permissions but without any success.
Moreover if I run mail app and try to click "new message" from the top bar, the window that appears is somewhat mixed with my wallpaper backround (I can see fragments of it).
Please help me, as I had there a few gigs of precious mails that I don't want to lose...
Thank you in advance!
Olek

Do a backup.
Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
Copy the line below.
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

All apps have stopped working after syncing with itunes

Hello everyone,
Extremely frustrated to find that after plugging my iphone into my comp for the first time since i've had it (about 3 months). I knew I had a good reason for avoiding plugging my iphone into the comp, because I have 2 other ipods and hate the way itunes tries to take over and do everything. No, i'm quite happy to manual manage the files on it. Especially when irritating things like this happen.
So I plugged it in for the first time on Saturday, and guess what, now NONE of my apps work anymore. Seems to be a common problem that no one at apple cares to admit. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8294502) this old thread details the problem I am having. Now the apps start to open and close and dont work. Awesome.
I would've been more than happy to eat humble pie if i'd done ANYTHING dodgy to this iphone, but I haven't, and apples OWN device controlling application destroyed the functionality of the device, which I now have to figure out how to fix myself. Of course, apple wouldn't have any documentation on this issue.
Its sad really as up till now Ive had a flawless experience with the device and enjoyed everything about it, mostly how it works so well and everything is easy to do. Extremely irritated about this - will be telling everyone who cares about this experience.
Now, apple, or more like apples forum goers, how do i fix what itunes has done???

Three days and no response, 3 others mentionining same problem.
Apple clearly do not care about customers or have any interests in bug fixing their own software. This is clearly a widespread problem which has nothing to do with user software, the bug is in iTunes and apple dont even care to admit it or fix it. It doesn't even look like they monitor their support forums at all!
I was considering buyign a macbook. Ha ha ha. Good luck. Not anymore.
Have even called support and Apple are USELESS and I will not forget this experience, as will my friends.
My advice? Get an android phone... we all know that it will only take a month or two till google gets a much bigger app library. Hey and guess what - they'll let you maintain your phone manually if you want, and dont force you through some stupid clunky, resource intensive, bug filled program which makes everything stop working. Exactly what it did to me on first connection.

Apps not working after sync

The applications issue where they stop working is still a big problem. It has happened a couple of times for me.
I have noticed that it happens after I sync my phone with my apple computer with iTunes.
Even the Apple application Texas HoldEm stops working.
Has anyone had any luck figuring out a permanent fix for this problem?
p.s.
And for Apple. You guys definitely screwed the new iPhone up. I and many other people are very disappointed.

I have downloaded a couple free apps from the app store; the first one it took a while, but things were going nutsy and I finally realized it was the application. I eventually had to restore the phone. The I downloaded one or two others only to delete them and restore the phone software again. There is definitely a difference between downloading applications to my computer and then downloading them to my phone where there seems to be more conflicts. I know others who have added apps to their iphone and don't complain about problems! is it the new firmware maybe? But I just spent a bundle on two of these phones, switched my carrier and gave away my verizon phone (I also paid 199 for two years ago) to my son. I want this to work, but I'm already frustrated, losing sleep, and getting nothing else done!!

Siri stops working after syncing with computer

I just got my iphone 4s yesterday. Everything was working great until i tried to sync my iphone with my computer and then Siri stop working. It kept saying that "i am having problems connecting to the network." If i restore my iphone it works great again until i try to sync it with my computer. Then Siri stops working again. Does anyone know why this is?

press and hold home button, siri pops up, then press the mic button to make it stop talking.
press and hold sleep button, untill you see slide to unlock (Do not slide though)
after that get rid of THAT message, and try siri again.
works like a charm

Anyone Elses Apps Stopped Working After IOS 5

After i updated my 3GS to IOS 5 my apps have stopped working :s i click on them and they come straight off it's werid anyone else having problems? I tried deleting few them and reinstalled still didn't work and dont wanna do it for all my apps as i have loads lol.

Unfortunately, it's up to the app writer to make his/her app iOS5 compliant. I'd suggest finding the app's troubleshooting or contact info and letting them know there's an issue. If they're non-responsive, then you can look for another one. It's entirely possible that they don't even know there's an issue.

Apps stop working after updating to 2014.1 - only in one account.

I updated to 2014.1 and Photoshop will open, but will not respond to mouse or keyboard input and has to be force closed. Photoshop CC still works fine.
After previous experience with the Update Manager, all updates were installed under the Administrator account.
Back in the regular user account (is also an Admin account) Premiere started getting slower to open, then stopped altogether with the "could not detect video playback device" error. Updating drivers, both for Nvidia graphics and Intel graphics (laptop) made no difference.
Both programs work fine in other accounts - both the Administrator account and a newly created test account.
Preferences were synced online to the Administrator account and then, when not all of them came back, they were manually copied from the nonworking user account. Premiere continues to work in the Administrator account.
I really need this to work in my normal user account - I have other applications that will have to be re-authorized and preferences restored, as well as all of the Adobe CC preferences and presets as Cloud sync doesn't really work fully.
Any suggestion for possible courses of action would be greatly appreciated. I'm off for a couple of weeks so I'll try and get this fixed, otherwise I'll get a new HDD and do a clean install.
Joe

Sorry, thought I'd mentioned that - all accounts have Admin privileges, although all installs and updates are always done through the actual Administrator account.
Although I've decided to start the year with a fresh install on a new SSD, I'd kind of like to figure this out.
I have since:
Created a new user account.
Premiere and Photoshop run fine.
Copy everything from the Old User folder except the ntuser.* files that are the common culprit on corrupt user accounts - although there have been no other indications of that.
Premiere and Photoshop fail in the same way as before.
Create a new user account.
Copy everything not Adobe in the User folders.
New user account now behaves (mostly) like the old user account but Premiere and Photoshop work.
Incidentally, even though I verified that it was checked, Syncing user settings with the Cloud does not restore my saved workspaces. It does restore effects presets.

Why do some Apps stop working after synching?

Each time I synch my iPhone 4S with iTunes, a number of recently added apps won't work. They only "shudder" but won't open. They are however, on the list with the other open apps.
Also, My phone keeps telling me that 7 apps didn't not synch and that I should refer to my ITunes for more info. Can't find anything...???

I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day. I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game. I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.
