Apps Won't Stay Deleted

I deleted a few apps from my 16GB iPhone 3G to see if it would start up faster (it takes about 3 minutes sometimes). i deleted last.fm, ebay, paypal, dice bag, NY times, urbanspoon, solar quest, box office, and apache lander. when i turned the phone off and back on (it took 2 minutes 30 seconds this time) most of those apps had returned to the phone even though i definitely deleted them. the apps that came back were ebay, paypal, dice bag, last.fm, apache lander, and urbanspoon. i deleted all these again, turned the phone off, then turned it back on. paypal and apache lander were gone but the rest were back again. i repeated the entire process again. this time only last.fm remained. so i tried again and deleted PegJump and Dreigit as well as last.fm. the start up took 2 minutes 10 seconds. last.fm was gone but the other two were back. whats going on?

well you would think that pressing the X in the corner of the app and confirming that you want to delete it would get rid of it completely from the phone. it even says "Deleting __ will also delete all of its data." yet some apps mysteriously return. i think its a glitch of some sort.

One of my apps won't stay open after iPad and app both had update

After updating with the new update for the iPad I updated my nook app. Now my nook app won't stay open. I've restarted my iPad multiple times and tried it with and without wifi still won't stay open.

I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two. Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

Autodance/JustDance3 App won't stay open on iPhone 4S

Hi. I have tried the two "fixes" as recommended by others on this site: 1) resetting my iPhone 4S (three times) and 2) I have also downloaded a new free app. Neither of those have fixed the problem. It only seems to be the Just Dance 3/Autodance app that won't stay open but I don't want to lose all my dancing videos on there as they cannot be recreated Please help me I've had the 4S from November 2011. I assume that if I delete the app and reinstall it that will delete all of my videos? I can't see another way to get the videos off the iPhone and on to my laptop. Very upset!

Yes, have also contacted the app developer - no response as yet I can't seem to access ratings and reviews on iTunes on my laptop. I can't get on to the app store on my iphone currently as poor 3G signal :/
From memory I think it has 5* reviews though. I hope someone has a fix for this.
Do you know where the videos created are stored on the iPhone and if there is anyway to get them off and onto my laptop?
Thanks for your reply

Apps won't stay in folder

I now have 3 APPs that won't stay in their folders after sync. I download, move from page 2 into a folder and all is well. Then when I sync, they are moved to pg 2 again.
Whats up with that?

Strange...
After the original post I decided to put the APPS in their folders then reboot the iPad. Once I rebooted the apps were back on page 2. So I moved them back to folders. Then you post came and I sync'd, I looked in the APPS view of the ipad link on itunes and everything was cool...no apps on pg 2. So I finished sync and checked, all was ok. So I opened each app and left them open while performing another sync. Still in the folders! Really Strange!
So I will hang with this one open for a few more days be fore I let it go.
Thanks for the idea! I had forgotten about that view.

App won't completely delete.

Deleted app keeps showing up in available downloads. How do I remove from downloads list?

Yes. Issue began when I tried to update the app. It wouldn't completely update. I didn't really want the app anymore, so I deleted it. Now it keeps showing up.

IPad (first generation) - apps won't stay open

My 1st generation ipad is quickly losing battery power, even when turned off. Also apps will not stay open. Is this common?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore the iPad > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If nothing helped, it may be time to take your iPad in for service > Apple - Find Locations

Mail App won't stay in dock

My Mail app will not reside in the dock.
If I run the app and then check keep in dock it still disappears.
If I drag the app from the applications folder and put it in the dock it will disappear.
If I delete the dock preferences and reboot or kill the dock process and reset my dock completely
it has no effect.
if I make an alias it will stay in the dock.
Other apps will stay in the dock. this only affects MAIL
this is a 24 inch imac with the latest leopard and latest upgrades as of 09/13/2010
It just started doing this today.
I have turned off all syncing from mobile me. no effect
I have tried re-syncing to mobile me.
I have tried re-syncing FROM mobile me.
I see people have had this problem in the past with no help or answers ..... HELP!!!!

Additionally I get the following error every time I try and add the mail.app to the dock.
Sep 13 22:04:53 Dark-Snow com.apple.syncservices.SyncServer[299]: 2010-09-13 22:04:53.719 DockSyncClient[310:903] Dock Sync Client caught exception: ISyncInvalidArgumentsException: [ISyncConcreteSession clientAcceptedChangesForRecordWithIdentifier:formattedRecord:newRecordIdentifie r:keepAwayFromServer:]: you can't change the record identifier from 0D74D6B9-3A18-4AAE-AC81-3724C2D9ABC3 to /Applications/Mail.app: it is already associated with a different record.
Now what is peculiar to this is that the mobile me sync is not running at this time. I'm not logged into mobile me and have the sync turned off.

Mail app won't stay open and keeps crashing

I use iPhone 7.1. Every time I open my Mail app, it crashes. I don't know why.
I have maybe 700,000 unread emails, fourteen different email accounts (8 Gmails, 2 iClouds, 2 Gmx's, and 2 AOLs, all of which are linked together through my Mail app), over 16,000 photos, and 0 bytes of free space left on my phone.
I've had my phone since 23 May 2013.
I bought it off Amazon for $161.
How can I get my Mail app to work again? Whenever I open the Mail app, it stays open for about 60 seconds, then a black screen appears, and the Mail app crashes.

Hi don290022,
If you are having issues with your iPhone's Mail application becoming unresponsive, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Mail: Zombie Messages (Deleted Messages Won't Stay Deleted)

I'm a new user of Mail and have run into a perplexing problem. Certain messages in my IMAP mailboxe come back from the dead. My account is only accessed by my MacBook and iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1), and only the Mail on the MacBook is experiencing this problem.
Mail is configured to keep deleted items on the server.
Things I've tried:
o Reset the envelope index
o Delete and recreate the account
o Upgrade my IMAP server from Cyrus 2.3.16 to 2.4.6
o Disable caching of message content on my MacBook
I haven't found any pattern for the length of time it takes for messages to revive. With message caching disabled, it seems to happen upon a restart of Mail, but I haven't had enough experience with this setting to be sure this happens 100% of the time.
I've used Cyrus on my home server for almost 10 years now and have never experienced this issue with Thunderbird (or previously Mulberry).
Any suggestions of other things to try?
Thanks,
Justin

Are you saying that keeping deleted items on the server (although it is the default when you create an IMAP account) is just broken? One of the main benefits of IMAP is that my mail state is the same and completely accessible from all of my computers and devices. Storing anything only on one client device, including deleted items, breaks that model.
I'll run the experiment to see if storing deleted messages locally to my macbook fixes Mail.app, but even if it does, this behavior will push me back onto Thunderbird.

Installed 8.1.3. The Fitness Pal app won't stay opened. I click on the icon, it opens then closes without allowing me to enter my input.

installed update 8.1.3 to my iPad and iPhone. As usual, I'm trying to access Fitness Pal app to enter data On to the iPad. The. App opens briefly then closes immediately before I can enter the data.

Try to force close the app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
If that doesn't work. Delete it and reset your device.
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
Then go back to the app store and your purchased items and redownload and reinstall the app.
If it still doesn't work, check out the reviews for the app. Sometimes an update can break an app. And, unfortunately, the burden is on the app developer to keep their app working with Apple. If you look at the reviews - change the sort from most helpful to most recent- you can get an idea if others are having issues. If they are and if the update has broken the app, then you have to wait for My Fitness Pal to fix their app.

Kindle App won't stay loaded on Macbook Pro

I constantly have to go to app store and download the Kindle app. Then it disappears when closed. It used to stay in the applications.

Just bought my Auntie a refurbished MBP and had the same problem; VERY frustrating. Been making me crazy all week.
I just found this fix minutes ago and it worked like a charm:

You basically have to just go into the Systems Pref's > Network and then add airport to the list.
Very easy (when you know how!).
Good luck!!

Mail app won't permenently delete mail

It deletes the stuff on the email accounts on the net, but it wont delete stuff its downloaded onto my comp. I select it, and delete it, and then when I come back to the mail app, its there again. Ive tried the erase deleted mail option, but it still shows up the next time i got to the mail app. Any ideas what to do?

Interesting that it works fine in Safe Mode, but the problem returns if you start up normally again. The following is what I usually suggest as a first step when Mail freezes on launch. I wonder whether it’ll work for you as well...
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations, and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running) and post back with your observations:
1. Holding the Shift (⇧) key down until the main window appears. This tells Mail to not select any mailboxes or load any messages upon start up.
2. With no Internet connection.

App Won't Stay In Dock Or In Place

I have an app, MarkSpace NoteBook, that refuses to 'Keep In Dock' and stay where I place it in the dock.
Opening the app is OK, it appears in the dock but it ignores the 'Keep In Dock' option and keeps moving itself to the last icon on the right. Closing the app causes it to disappear from the dock.
Never had this issue before on my old MacBook, only since I have installed this app on my new MacBook so I think its related to something on the new machine rather than the app.
Uninstalls and reinstalls don't help.
Any ideas appreciated.
Regards
NIALL 8-)

Since this is third party software,I think your best bet would be to ask the developer.

It does not seem like a OS X system issue.
