Bizarre: iPhone Apps rearrange themselves aphabetically after 3.1!!!!

Since installing 3.1 (3G, not jailbroken, many apps), everytime I update apps through the phone, EVERY application icon is moved - over multiple pages - into alphabetical order! I know a lot of folks would like that, BUT, I keep my app icons arranged into related groups on each page, with a specific order on each page, so I regard this as a MAJOR BUG!!!
Anyone else run into this????? Anyone got a workaround?

I have cycled the power on the iPhone (Turning it OFF by means of the SLEEP button, and then back on minutes after than), but that doesn't solve the problem...
Did you try a reboot (by means of BOTH the Sleep and Home buttons and holding both IGNORING the slide to turn off, and keep holding until you finally see the Apple Logo?)

  • Is there a way to track an Iphone 5 or add "findmy iPhone" app to the phone after the pnone has been lost?

    My daughter lost her iPhone 5 in Las Vegas. She said that it has Findmy iPhone app however, it does not show up on the site. Can I access the phone remotely to leave a message that it is lost? Can I set up find my iPhone if it does not have it after it is lost? It has iO7 software installed. I have the device serial number.

    The find my iphone app is not needed and has nothing to do with finding the iphone on which it is installed.  The app simply allows you to find your other devices from the iphone -  not find the iphone it is on.
    Find my iphone is a feature, no app required.  You do have to set it up on the iphone itself.  If you did not , then you cannot track it.
    The serial number is of no use in locating an iphone.

  • I have purchased a eos 6d. When I use it with the iPhone app the connection dies after about five m

    I have a 6d and when I use it with the iPhone app the camera turns off after about five minutes and the connection is lost. So when I am photographing wild life I keep having to break cover to reactivate the connection. Is this correct or is there a way to keep the connection alive.

    You just need to go into the menu and set the camera's sleep mode to "off" or "never". It sounds as if it's currently set to 5 minutes.
    Letting the camera sit active continuously, i.e. preventing it from going into sleep mode, will drain the battery(ies) a lot faster. I don't have a 6D, nor do I leave them on full time (in fact I set sleep mode to a very short duration, since tapping any button on the camera quickly re-awakens it).... so I really don't know how quickly a battery will drain. But you might be prepared with spares. If battery life is too short for you purposes, you could add a battery grip which will double the battery capacity.

  • What to do if iPhone apps don't work after syncing with iTunes

    Just wanting to share this with anyone who may have the same problem.
    This is what I did: All I did was authorised my computer to transfer apps into my iTunes.
    This may also help (depending on the cause of the problem)
    http://www.iphonealley.com/tips/how-to-fix-broken-or-crashing-iphone-apps
    (Thanks to Jim for sending this link but apparently my solution was a much simpler one)
    Hope this helps! Cheerios!

    Try this - worked for me:
    on the iPhone, go Settings-->General-->Restricitons and either turn all Restrictions off OR if they are on make sure 'Installing Apps' is ON.

  • Lost iPhone apps and podcast subscriptions after relocating music

    Here is my situation:
    I am using iTunes and I have music for which I do not have iTunes manage. The music is located outside of the iTunes folder on my local PC. I have created playlists which include those songs. I have an iPhone 3GS for which I subscribe to podcasts via iTunes and for which I have purchased a number of apps. I am interested in moving the music files to a newly purchased NAS drive. I have a new folder on the NAS drive mapped to my PC as the Z: drive. I am intending on keeping the iTunes folder on my local pc.
    I do not wish to have iTunes manage those songs, so I do not want to have iTunes copy them to the iTunes folder and perform consolidate.
    I followed instructions online for doing a search and replace in the library XML file for all the songs outside of iTunes. I replaced the paths with the new ones. I also replaced the itl file with 0 byte file. On starting iTunes, it recognized the itl file as being corrupt, and rebuilt it from the modified XML file.
    This worked great for all the music but caused the following issues:
    1) iTunes no longer showed any of my purchased iPhone apps being present in iTunes.
    2) The previously hidden podcasts videos playlist (which normally just appears on my phone) was now visible. Also a second new playlist called podcasts appeared.
    3) The podcast list under library in iTunes which shows my subscribed podcasts is now blank,
    I have temporarily reverted back to my original XML and itl files until I resolve this issue.
    Does anyone know how to get around those issues or another method to move music without having to consolidate my music under iTunes?

    I have the same problem. Did you solve it? How?
    Thanks, Joerka

  • Mac apps reinstall themselves again after finishing installation

    I've finished installing Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary and iBook Author which have big sizes. But in Mac App Store it's reinstalling itself like it is not. It's downloading now and on desktop the logos appear as balck and white and downloading. But in applications folder the logos appear color and I can open them. But cross buttom appear on the logos. What happened to mac os? Help me please.

    Didn't work. I just signed in on the iPhone (not signed in on iTunes). One app needed updating. I did NOT click "update all", but instead updated it using the app screen itself and followed the link.
    I put my password in and it began to download... moments later all those old apps even for years ago started to download. But let me say... they are not really downloading.. they are all paused. But you can't delete them until they completely download. And one more thing... Even some of my current (wanted) apps are reinstalling themselves.
    Very frustrating.

  • Need iPhone app to wake up after mute

    Hi,  I am looking for an app for the iPhone that mutes, then un-mutes my phone after a specified time.  I would like to put my phone into mute by starting the app, then it will un mute my phone after a time.  Picture walking into a meeting, wanting to mute your phone.  Sometimes I forget to un mute my phone after the meeting so I end up missing calls.  Does such an app for the iPhone exist?  Thanks in advance.

    James,
    Thanks for the quick response.  Keeping it awake is no problem.  Just adjusted the settings in system preferences > energy saver.  Hoping to find an iPad app to wake it, so I can let it sleep.  Not an absolute necessity, but it would be a better solution.  Thanks again.

  • Apps rearranged themselves when updating

    When I updated my apps today, it rearranged all of my apps.  How did this happen.
    I didn't connect to iTunes, simply updated apps.  
    It took things out of folders, my pages are just a mess now. 
    Restarted and they are all in their new places. 
    Thanks. 

    That happens for me as well, I assume that it's a bug. You should be able to hide them via your computer's iTunes (and they should then stay unhidden) : click on your name towards the top right of your iTunes, and then click Purchased on the popup :
    Or you can click on the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    Select the Apps section of Purchased and click on the top left corner of the app to hide it (an 'x' should show on the top left corner, but on my Mac's iTunes it's invisible, but clicking where the 'x' should be still hides the app).

  • Iphone apps won't open!

    My iphone apps are not working after a recent update. The apps show up on phone but when I try to open the app the screen goes black and returns to the main screen. help!!

    This fixed it:
    I FIGURED IT OUT !
    There's something going on with the latest version of iTunee.
    This affects people with old and new version of firmware for iPhone 3G.
    What happens... All your apps stop working because they are no longer authorized for use, after a syncing with iTunes.
    The fix... Before doing a sync with iPhone, deselect all the applications. Sync (in effect, you're removing all applications from your iPhone). In iTunes, click Store / Authorize Computer, and enter your password. Don't worry, you won't use up any of your 5 alloted activations. Go back to applications and reselect all your applications. Sync. You're done and EVERYTHING WORKS !
    I figured this out when i tried the delete / restore technique mentioned before. iTunes gave me a message saying my computer was not authorized to restore the applications. Huh? So in fact it's iTunes causing the headaches.

  • How do I delete uninstalled Apps from the iPhone app list that is shown inside iTunes on my PC after sychronizaton?

    To clarify and to not receive the answers of those who doesn't read more than 2 lines of a post: I am not asking how can I delete backups to free space in iCloud nor how to hide the purchase history!!! those things I already know...
    to be clearer please let me explain what I mean by "list inside the iTunes of my PC". To access the list to which I am reffering you must take this steps:
    1) Connect the iPhone to the PC. This should open iTunes if not already opened and activate the synchronization between iPhone and PC.
    2) After syncronization and eventual backup in the iTunes window on the top right side it appears the tab "iPhone".
    3) Click said tab "iPhone" to see its content. In the top bar you can see 9 tabs: "Summary", "Info", "Apps", "Music", "Movies", "TV Shows", "Books", "Photos" and "On This iPhone".
    4) Click the 3rd tab, the one named "Apps", in this window on the left side you have the full list of the apps and on the right side you can see how these apps are arranged inside the device (inside home screens and folders).
    I am referring to this particular list, the one on the left side of this page. See, I ricently run out of space in my iCloud so I decided tidy things up. I deleted all of the old backups both form iCloud and from PC and I hid all of the Apps that I no longer use from my purchase history.
    now, the point is, every time I go to this particular list I can still find all of the apps, even those uninstalled from the device and removed from the purchase history...
    In this list the apps that are still installed on my divece have got the "remove" button at its side and those which are not have got the "install" button... my point is that I went to great lengths to clean everything and still I can't seem to find a way to remove unwanted apps from this particular list...
    I do suspect that it is because I have to restore some registry inside the iPhone itself... The point is that I don't want these apps to appear on this list anymore but I don't know how to clear it... Any help? Have I been clear?
    thanks

    That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
    If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
    C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
    In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files).  You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
    One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it.  So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

  • I sync'ed my iphone apps last night on a "new" computer.  Since it was not regrestered on that computer, iPhone would not sync any bought apps.  Went I went to use an app after trying this almost all my bought apps disappeared.  How do I get them back?

    I tried syncing my Iphone4 apps on a "new" computer.  I was told that the computer was not registered with iTunes and could not back up all the bought apps.  When I went to check  on the iPhone after this I noticed (have been blind not to) that almost all of my bought apps were missing.  After I registered the "new" computer and sync'ed my apps nothing removed showed back up.  How do I get these apps back?
    I tried syncing on the "old" computer and all the apps were grayed out with some unchecked.  Since they are grayed out I cannot unchecking and sync them. 
    The difference between the "new" and "old" computer is the OS.  New has Win7 old is XP.

    An iPhone can only sync to one computer at a time. When you synced to the new one without first copying your iTunes library from the old one it deleted the apps because they were not on the new computer. You could have transferred them from the iPhone to the new computer before the first sync as described in the manual, but now it is too late for that.
    Fortunately, you can redownload apps without having to pay for them again as long as the iTunes account is the same on the new computer as it was on the old.

  • IPhone will not turn on after Sleep during Camera app.

    Over the last two months, my iPhone has refused to turn on 4 times. In each of the cases, I was using the Camera app and pressed the sleep/wake button while still in the app.
    In all cases, I was able to reset the phone (sleep+home for 10 sec.) However, what really bothers me is that two of the times, the battery was fully drained (from about 85% in about 4 hours). I have a feeling the Camera app is still running even though the screen is dark and unresponsive.
    I have tried unsuccessfully to replicate the problem intentionally.
    Does this sound like a HW or SW issue? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    This happened to me just last night. I was looking at photos (as opposed to taking them), left the photo showing and let phone sit on the table until it slept... it just didn't wake. Thought it was a battery issue (I was down to about 30% remaining), but connecting to power did not wake the phone. Plugged in overnight, but nothing changed, and no battery charging took place.
    Power+Home restart did wake it this morning, but this was a bit disconcerting to say the least. I'm almost hesitant to want to replicate the behaviour.
    FYI, I spent the weekend taking pictures using Camera, then putting it to sleep until the next picture. iPhone always woke fine, but after using Camera to view the pictures last night it didn't wake up.

  • I recently restored my iPhone 4s from back-up after being reset. An app that I had turned off in back-up did not show up in my recent resoration. I forgot to turn that app back on. Would there be any way I would be able to get the data from that app?

    You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
    Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
    I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.
