Does anyone know why some Apps won't load unless I buy a new App?

I've been following a couple of threads. It seems some users, myself included, have a problem where certain Apps will not load. They simply start to open and then return back to the Home screen immediately. When it happens to me (maybe once per week) it's always the same Apps which refuse to load, and they ALL do it - Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Garageband, iMovie, Shareplus all stop working. The reported fix from all users is to go to the AppStore and either update, or buy another App - even a free one. Then all Apps work again properly. It started happening for me after upgrading to iOS 5 but many users had the same issue prior to iOS 5.
So my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to find myself out of 3G signal, or abroad when I've turned Data off, and unable to use my Apps. The fix is useful, but I can't understand why we even need a fix. Suggestions?

Have you tried a full reset when this happens?  This happens to me on rare occasion and a reset fixes things.

  • Does anyone know why my music won't play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I tried resetting it already and that didn't work. Can someone please help?

    Does anyone know why my music wont play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I've tried resetting it already but that didnt work. Can someone please help.

    I would to a Restore.  Select the iPod in iTunes.  Go to the Summary tab for the iPod.  There is a button there to do a Restore.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
    If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod.  All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar.  To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.

  • Does anyone know why these particular files would load incorrectly through iphone mail?

    I have been having trouble with some images being sent out correctly to my sales people/customers. There are no problems EXCEPT when the files pass through an iphones mail. Sent or recieved the files get small file corruptions or something that results in an image distortion. I send tons of other images that have had no issue. Does anyone know why these particular ones are different? I'm worried I might be using the wrong settings in my save for web to get everything to be read by others accurately.
    This problem doesn't seem to be limited by just the one email either. Every time we email these images through iphone it does this. On two different phones and two different accounts. Try for yourself and I'm sure it will do exactly the same thing unless uploading them to this page has changed them in some way.
    I used illustrator cs6 to make the blue shirt image. The other three were files sent from a customer.
    Thanks

    The following is what comes out the other side.
    This one got renamed to image002.jpg somewhere through the email program.
    The other three didn't change file names.
    Thanks for any help!

    This may depend on your chosen encoding options for the Mails (MIME vs. Base64 or similar) and/or the mails being reduced in size and sliced up server side. Apple (and Google) do stuff like recompressing images when viewing mails on mobile devices from an Apple ID or Gmail account... You have to turn it off in their web frontends....

  • Does anyone know why some partitions are not mounted at at boot up?

    We have many new intel based IMacs with 1Tb internal drives. Each drive is partitioned into 6 and are in a university mac lab.
    Occasionally some of the partitions are not mounted when the mac first boots up, so we have to go into disk utility and mount them manually. This happens on various machines at different times. We have NTFS-3G installed so I'm wondering if it's something to do with that.
    Any ideas much appreciated!

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

  • Does anyone know why Reader X won't open secure .pdf, such as a downloaded manual?

    I'm using Vista 64,and updated to Reader X.  It will open standard .pdf files, but secure ones (I downloaded manuals for my Canon digital camera software) not only will not open, but cause Reader X to stop responding.
    My temporary solution:  delete X and reinstall 9.4.whatever.
    What has happened to the infallibility of this software?

    It could be that there is a problem with the pdf files. Each version of Acrobat and Reader are more intolerant to malformed pdfs as that is a vector for spyware and virii.

  • Does anyone know why my MBP won't charge from an airline seat plug? This is a regular three prong outlet on a United/Continental plane.

    Whenever I use a seat plug, the light on the computer end of my magsafe adapter comes on for a minute, then goes dark. Meanwhile all of the PC laptop users around me seem to be plugged in and getting power with no problem.

    I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.)  It happens for about 10 of 30/40  files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

    I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

    taimsesasta, Not positive, but I was using a picture that had orange in it as my login icon, and when I changed it to a pic that was basically gray, the Apple logo no longer flashed orange. Somehow, it seems, that the Apple logo was momentarily picking up the orange color from my login art and then returning to its normal gray. That's all I know at this point.

  • Does anyone know why all of a sudden any new parent divs I add won't display in browser preview?

    Does anyone know why all of a sudden any new parent divs I add won't display in browser preview?

    yes styles are applied. What does not show up are the container divs - they all have the thin purple borders.
    The "Blog Lovers" image shows up but it is inside the #blogindex div - which seems to be invisible because the elements inside #blogindex div are just piled on top of each other. (see below html) This is now happening on all the pages of this site.
    (I test a different site in DW and I was able to add divs and borders and content inside divs just fine.)
    <!-- start #blogindex --> 
         <div id="blogindex">

  • I have a canon printer with a mac computer. For some reason whenever I print something the ink on the page is all green not black like it should be. I put in a new black ink cartrridge but that didn't change anything.Does anyone know why this is happening

    You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. What OS X version are you using? What model Canon printer? Canon printers have a test print capability (open the Printer Utility). What happens when you do a test print? Are all the printer cartridges in their proper location? Sometimes when you print "black", the printer uses a mixture of the colors to get "black". In the Printer Utility, check the levels of the other cartridges. There may be one color that is clogged.

  • Does anyone know why there are no football apps for the iPhone for 2011

    does anyone know why there are no football apprs for the iphone for 2011
    I had apps last year for NFL schedules and also for college
    can't find even one this year
    anybody know

    If this is true, then it is because no one is making these apps.
    Why else would it be?
