Games app in iOS 4.2.1?

After updating to 4.2.1 I see a new icon among my apps "Games"
I have 5 games but only 1 was mentioned inside the Games app, yet there are lots of mini icons shown that I don't own.
Hoping they'd be replaced by the others I do own, I dragged them on top of the Games icon after making them all wiggly.
They all went in OK and when I click Games I see them in horizontal lineup but not where the mini icons are and not when I click Games link once inside the Games icon. I only see my car game that showed up there after the OS upgrade.
Did I do something wrong?
Also, i want to put all my magazines in a Magazines folder. Do I create a folder first and then drag on to it, or just drag any one mag on to another? Can I rename?
Lastly, can you get an app back out of a folder?

Yes you can rename folders, hold the folder icon until it starts to jiggle, then open the folder and press on the white bar then you can change the folder name.
To get an app out of the folder, drag an app out of the folder.
Regards
Andy

IOS 4.3.3 is buggy! No more game apps works

After i made an upgrade to he current iOS Version all of my game Apps won't work anymore. The other Apps work.
After trying to open the games nothing happens . The screen flickers a short time and thats it.
Is this a known bug or is this bug already adressed to apple? There is no way to downgrade..
I don't want to restore my IPod to factory defaults and pay again for everything.
greetings from a not amused user

No problems with game apps and iOS 4.3.3 here.
Perhaps you could name one of the game apps that you are having problems with.
Sometimes a reset of the iPod Touch will solve such problems (press home and on/off buttons together and hold until the Apple logo appears - about 10 seconds).

Game App needs the new "IOS 7" icon

Notes
-publish setting/4.0 ios air/target/icons tab/----// would like to add 76x76 icon image display here in this section//
-Again thank you for reading trying bring light to the table instead of negative. being positive here thx

Note that any changes you make in the publish panel in Flash will cause the apps XML to be rewritten every time. You should become familiar with the XML file and avoid the Flash AIR for iOS publish settings panel at all costs. Open the apps XML in your favorite text editor and make the changes yourself.
Use the latest SDK (4 at this time) but your first trip should be to the SDK release notes to verify the date it was last updated, and update as needed:
http://helpx.adobe.com/air/air-releasenotes.html
After your SDK is up to date, make sure you adjust your apps XML if needed to reflect the correct version of the SDK (4.0 as of now).
At this point, my way around the publish panel is to hit publish with this correct XML file in place and let Flash generate the SWF. Sometimes it might error, sometimes not. The SWF is all I care about. At this point if an IPA was generated I just delete it.
What Flash is doing behind the scenes for you is simply running the AIR SDK's 'adt' command. You can run it yourself from a command line to package your own application. This gets around the Flash iOS publish panel inevitably being outdated as sweeping changes are made from targets (Apple, Android).
Here's a quick primer on the 'adt' command (don't get scared):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac35eb7b4e12cddc5fbbb-8000.html
Scroll down to the "Creating an iOS package for Apple App Store submission" section to see some easy cut and paste commands for you. If you're doing anything advanced like loading external SWFs with ABC and stripping, that'll take a few more commands. But the basics are here.
I update my Windows PATH environment variable to include the full path to my AIR SDK's /bin folder so I can use 'adt' from any location. You might want to consider that. Otherwise you'll need to preface your 'adt' command with that path before using it.
An example of packaging your application with the latest AIR and support for the latest icons/etc might look like this:
adt -package -target ipa-app-store -storetype pkcs12 -keystore YourDistributionKeystore.p12 -provisioning-profile YourDistribution.mobileprofile NameOfApp.ipa NameOfApp-app.xml NameOfApp.swf iTunesArtwork iTunesArtwork@2x Icon-76.png [email protected] Icon-152.png [email protected] icons SomeFolder SomeOtherFolder
If you just get a commmand error for 'adt', remember you must be sure to preface the command with the full path to the correct AIR SDK /bin folder or it won't exist as a command.
e.g.:
C:\AIRSDK\bin\adt -package -target ipa-app-store .... etc
Might seem complicated but taken line by line (or parameter by parameter):
adt -package
     -target ipa-app-store
     -storetype pkcs12
     -keystore YourDistributionKeystore.p12
     -provisioning-profile YourDistribution.mobileprofile
     NameOfApp.ipa
     NameOfApp-app.xml
     NameOfApp.swf
     iTunesArtwork iTunesArtwork@2x Icon-76.png [email protected] Icon-152.png [email protected] icons SomeFolder SomeOtherFolder
Everything after the NameOfApp.swf is a space separated list of files and folders to include.
After you run that command, assuming it can find your .p12 and .mobileprovision (in this example, in the same folder) it will ask you for a password for your .p12.. Enter that and it will compile. That's all Flash is really doing for you when you hit publish, only using 'adt' directly resolves many issues the IDE isn't efficiently updated to handle.

HT4972 It says iTunes will not back up games, apps, etc. Does that mean they will be lost? I have iPad 2, and would like to get iOS 6. Can I do that? Right now it is iOS 4. If I can get 6, do I have to go to 5 first?

I would like to upgrade my iPad to iOS 6. It is currently iOS 4.3.5. Can I do that? The article from apple says iTunes will not back up games, apps, etc. Does that mean I will lose them? Some of them I paid for and don't want to lose.

Yes you can upgrade from 4.3.3 to 6.0.
Your media - apps, games, music, photos, and so are not included in the backup. Your app data, settings, and many other things are included in the backup. After you update the iPad, you should sync with iTunes in order to put all of that content back into the iPad. This is what I recommend doing - I do it myself every time I update my iPads, or iPod Touch.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

HT1430 I have IPad 1 and for some of my game Apps, I need at least IOS 4.3. How do I update my IPad? I have gone to settings, General, but I do not have the option fo update..should k call Apple Tech?

I have IPad 1 and for some of my game Apps, I need at least IOS 4.3. I open my IPad to Settings, General, but there is no "update" to select..should I call Apple Tech to have my IPad updated???thanks

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, you will need to update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for a first gen iPad is iOS 5.1.1

Problems with my iPod touch 4th gen 32 gig after installing iOS 5.01! Larger game App's will not open! Anyone else? Solutions? Thanks!

It seems most games over 100 meg will boot through the developers segway and then flash back to the home screen. Has anyone else experienced this?
IT also seems to have slowed down considerately!
Does anyone know why this may be happening or have any trouble-shooting ideas?
Thanks to anyone that may be able to help! I can't even play any of the more higher priced game App's that I had just purchased and it is very frustrating!

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.

New IOS download causing game apps to run slower

Since I've downloaded the new IOS my game apps (especially words with friends) is running significantly slower. Is anybody else experiencing the same?

*****...sorry...I did not have that happen...mine stayed in place... something may have gone slightly wrong during your upgrade

IOS 8 upgrade caused me to lose the games I paid for; apple says I hafta restore, which means losing a week of work; are there other options. the game app hooked on words will not respond to several emails

Funny you should ask... At about the same time that the Xserve was discontinued, we also lost our channel rep of nearly 14 years. Right now we are not sure who our rep is. I have however, sent this to as many people in Apple that I could think of. And I plan on continuing to reach out to as many as possible.
The sad reality is that this decision is impacting customer deployments and the future of customer installations. Apple strives for market share and loves to tout those numbers. But the numbers we fought for over these last eight years are going to disappear.
As much as this impacts our business, we are making up for it in enterprise deployment of systems. We will survive and lead in our geographic area. I do not fear that. But OS X Server is a UNIX server and with it has come all of the benefits of a UNIX system, including legitimacy in a data center. The Intel Xserve cemented this reality because of its hardware configuration and form factor. Yes, we have G4 and G5s still in service. But those are mostly in all Mac shops that understand the benefits and can work around the buzz word limitations. But fortune 100/500 IT departments did not really get on board until the release of the Intel server.
Still beating the drum to raise awareness. Spread the word and talk to your Apple reps.
Also, ask about the direction that Apple's Enterprise team is going. If the news I hear is correct, then our fears about all things pro and enterprise going away are likely true.

HT4623 my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader it keeps on saying this app requires ios something.

my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader or any thing like subway surfer games it keeps on saying something like this app needs ios something.

Then your ipod would need ios something in order to use the apps.
If your iphone is compatible then update the ios version. Otherwise, you cannot use the apps.

Went to update a game app this morning, had already hit update when the i os7 update screen popped went through with the ios update but after ipad restarted the game update is completely missing any ideas how to get the update back no luck so far

Hello THEVIN7
The next step if it is not updating, would be to delete the app and then download it again. Check out the general troubleshooting for apps purchased form the App Store.

Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod?

Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod? wanted to put some kids games on but they all say they are not supported by iOS 4.2.1. which is the latest ios it can be updated to. I get the message This app requires openGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. Can you tell me if there are any games I could download for him please?
If there aren't can you tell me if an ipod touch 3rd generation would be able to get alot of the current games like the lego ones and angry birds or which generation I would have to go to.
Many Thanks

- These sites allow you to filter searchs for those apps compatible with 4.2.1
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
- However, some apps currently in th app require a higer iOS version. But, as I posint out in my previous reply, Apple allows yo to downlod the last compatilbe version
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
I know of no list/seach method to find those apps

My games app in ipod touch version 4.2.1 (8C148) won't open at all!

I have my ipod touch version 4.2.1(8C148). At first, I wanted to save more music in my ipod touch so I installed the latest version of itunes(10.6.1.7). I followed the rules on how to save music from forums in the internet. I made a playlist on itunes, and from my Music file I dragged my mp3's on my itune's playlist. I plugged my ipod touch and it appearred on the left side as Device. And from my playlist, I selected all and dragged them into my ipod touch.. and then click Sync below. (example: http://www.technipages.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/iTunes-Sync-button.png). After that, I also saved videos. The same procedures I did like on how to save musics. After Syncing all... when i opened a game app, it won't open. All of the game applications won't open! I don't know why. Help me!:)

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
The maximum iOS version for the second generation iPod touch and the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.

How do you continue a game app on a restored device that refuses to load the old game?

I have recently today restored my device since I have frogotten the orignal password to my iPod at that time. I reinstalled all of my apps, and most of them seems to load the old game I had on my device (thanks to my GameCenter account). But, there are 4 games that refuse to load the old game. Flutter: Butterfly Sanctuary, Mini Pets, My Talking Tom, and Naughty Kitties. The only game that mentions my game saved on my GameCenter account is Flutter, saying "Sorry, your Flutter account is already associated with a differnet GameCenter account." Flutter still plays from the start.
What I am trying to say is that there are games I redownloaded that will not connect to my GameCenter account after restoring my iPod. Is there any way to load my previous games back onto my restored device? The only app I really want to keep is Flutter, because I had made a lot of progress on it.
I'd recommend a person who's experienced with the apps I have listed to answer my question, but if anyone else knows a thing or two, go for it.

Just what do you mean by "refuse to load the old game."?
He means the progress of the game. Like where he was, what level he was on, his lives, etc.
As for the OP, restore from an old backup and use lllaass' directions. Then restore as new.
