Games & App Problems

II've had my iPad mini since Jan 2012
iI'm unable to open certain games anymore, I'll try open a game & it would shut down (It gets cut off)
it started with one game back in 2012" but I thought it was just a faulty game so I left it at that..
in in the past 4months it's happening to more & more....
WHY WOULD THIS BE HAPPENING???????
Also I'm unable to open the new apps I get from the App Store...
after loading the app to my iPad it gives me the option to open the app..... But then won't open!!!!
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ASWELL?????????

You could delete all the apps from the multitasking bar. Then do a reset i.e. hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

HT4946 I want to sync my iPad with an older backup, not the old created when I plug mt device in. Following a problem with my iPad I have lost all my data from a game app and I am trying to retrieve it

Following a problem with my IPad and restoring it, I have lost the data in one of my game Apps ... I can see in ITunes/ pref my iPad back ups and want to try to sync with an older back up to get the data back. So how can I sync with an oldera back up?

In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none.

Safari 4.0.3 giving me some problems when Im on a FaceBook game app.

Sometimes when I am on a certain FaceBook Game app, Safari quits on me, this is just recenly that safari is doing this, Safari has never done this before on my FaceBook Game app. Safari would do this once in awhile on a particular web site page but never on my FaceBook or its Game app up til now.
This is making me mad and Fusterated.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Does anyone know what is causing this Safari unexpected quiting thing that it is doing?? and can it be fixed, Please someone help me.

I would recommend either updating to Safari 4.0.4 or getting another browser. I have three browsers on my Mac, such as: Firefox 3.5.5, Opera 10.01, and Safari 4.0.4 for Mac OS X v10.4 (PowerPC). Opera has been the most successful browser even with the slowest of networks, thanks to Turbo technology brings broadband speeds to slow networks. Opera outperforms Safari 4.0.4 in my tests and pages load quicker. Even though I encounter some problems with Facebook on Opera, the site actually works great with Opera and Opera 10, in my tests, is faster than Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5. Go to the following website to try Opera 10 for yourself.
http://www.opera.com/browser/
Opera works just as fine with Mac OS X architecture and just like Firefox provides tons of themes, extensions, etc.
The problem may be with Facebook itself cause I think the only version that may be compatible with Facebook is Safari 3 cause I guess Facebook like most websites hasn't kept up with the latest web browsers, which kind of reminds me of my issues with MySpace, where I could edit my profile with Safari but I needed Firefox to change the themes and use profile editor.
If you're running Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, Safari 4 is supposed to use a crash-resistant technology where the plug-ins and the browser are on separate threads that the hard drive reads. So if the plug-in crashes the browser won't and a refresh fixes the problem. Plus, Safari 4.0 on Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard I heard executes JavaScript 50 times faster.
Also you may want to upgrade to 10.6.2 update.
Depending on how long you've had your Mac for, I'd call technical support at 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) if any more problems occur so that the experts at Apple can help you with this ongoing problem. I hope it gets resolved cause I'm upgrading from iBook G4 to MacBook Pro in January and I don't want to have any problems like this.

The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

"Network service error" game apps that require internet connection working fine, internet signal strong. Safari working, but YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and App Store won't work?! Tried resetting network settings but problem persists?

Safari working fine, as are game apps that require internet connection.
I can not get AppStore, YouTube app, Facebook app or twitter app to load anything as 'network service error" comes up.
I have the latest update 7.2 and have tried resetting network settings, anyone else have this problem?! How do I fix it?

I did try that one. But for some reason it still does not help. The strange thing stays that I can acces Twitter and other Apps. But still nos Safari/App Store. Only when I am on Wi-Fi.

I have purchase or upgrade my iPad to 200GB.the problem is it shows 195 available balance ,but when I want to download games app there is notification coming I have no left GBstprage and can't downloads

purchased 200 GB but only manage to use 5GB balance shows 195GB but could'nt download the games app and others....notifixation show no enough storage.

You have purchased Cloud storage. The lack of storage is on the iDevice. You will need to move/delete content from the iDevice to make room for new content.

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.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings

HT4314 Game Center Problem

There isn't a catagory for this, but... Game Center games don't show up for me. None of them, not my friend's or mine. (Yes, I have used these games multiple times before) Help? (I wasn't sure where to ask this ^^)

I am having the same problem and I also have an iPod 2nd Gen. When I sign into Game Center it shows my profile, how many friends I have on game center, the number of games I have and my achievements. When I tap on the games app all it says is "Find Game Center Games" it doesn't list any of my games yet when I am playing the games the little icon on top of the screen always says "Welcome back, geew66" whenever I open a game. I finally got around to calling Apple to find out why this is happening. They informed me it is a glitch on their end and I needed to plug my iPod into my computer and give them remote access to my iPod to fix it. After doing this, the guy on the phone then informed me that in order to continue I needed to purchase extended warranty (or whatever it was that he called it) for $99 for 1 year and then he would be able to fix the glitch. Needless to say, I didn't pay them the $99 and my Game Center doesn't work. I just figure that if it is their glitch to begin with, why should we have to pay that kind of money to get it fixed. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem without the huge expense would be greatly appreciated. I am not at all impressed with the money hungry customer service I received from Apple.

Is there any way of saving progress in a game/app when you remove it from the ipad to the cloud

Is there any way of saving progress in a game/app when you remove it from the ipad to the cloud.
Basically i have a 16gb ipad2 (big mistake) so space on the ipad is precious. obviously i occasionally need to remove games/apps to make way for other apps from my cloud. The problem is, when I remove an app to make way for the new app I lose all my progress in that game apart from the option to save leader-board stats (which is the least important thing to me). Its very annoying to get so far in a game only to have to remove it to make way for a movie and lose all my progress!!!!!
Any way round this?

I do not know how to save game data when deleting an app, but as for updating, if you connect the ipad to a computer and do the update through itunes, you will not have to download the update package to the ipad just to the computer. so you don't have to free up quite so much space, as for movie and photo storage you can look at the sandisk wireless and airstash wireless SD card adapters, they create their own wireless network and come with apps that allow you to store and then stream movies to the ipad instead of loading them to the ipad storage.

TS1702 i still cant make purchase in game app

i still cant make purchase in game app it still show me contact itunes store to complete this transaction. i was send the problem to you guys few times but still din have any respond from it.

I'm sure he did. I've e-mailed iTunes Store Support several times over the last few days, I still can't make purchases, and now I can't access my already purchased music. I thought Apple was supposed to have good support for their products. This seems bad for Apple, this is happening to many people judging by the number of times this comes up in the user forums I've explored trying to find a fix for this problem. Apple has to be losing money because customers aren't able to purchase, and then the customers give up because they can't get help from Apple's support team.

I updated my I D and now I can't download or purchase an updated game app

I can't update an app for my games since changing my I D and downloading the IOS 6 update. The info box pops up and says that I purchased the original game under an old ID ! Has anyone had this problem and what can I do to get back to my games? Also the rest of my Game apps are frozen!

When I downloaded the new iOS 6 while on holiday in Alberta. Why there you say. My Husband is hunting. Anyway as soon as I updated I immediately had problems. The ID that came was one used when I first bought the iPad before it was changed to my personal ID. Which I have been using for month with no problem. Then with the upgrade it was like it did not exist, So I re-entered my original ID and password. I then tried to purchase a game that I had previously downloaded I like it so wanted to purchase it. Entered my password and was informed that this app was on another iPad and I had to download it again. What bothers me I have downloaded a few games will I have this problem with all of them. And when it comes to updates on games I already have will I not be able to do those updates. Not only that but games I already play have been in frozen mode. I am so upset I was planning on using my iPad while my husband was hunting. There have been a few times I have wanted to throw this thing in the campfire. So any help would be gratefully received.

My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade to get the latest game apps and such?

My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade to get the latest game apps and such?

You probably can't. Many games and other apps now require iOS 4.3 or later, and iOS 4.2.1 is the last version that will run on a 2nd-gen iPod touch. If you want to run newer games, you'll need a newer iPod. If you want to look for games that will run on your iPod, here's a tip from another user that may help you:
"I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1. What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below.
I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest. I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on). Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1.
This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with."

TS1702 Since I updated to ios6 my City of Warfare game shuts down when I try to go to battle. I removed my original game app and reinstalled a new game, which I had to start from the beginning and it still crashes. I'm sure that others are having similar

Since I installed ios6 my City of Warfare game shuts down when I try to battle. I removed my original game and reinstalled a new game app which started a new game..and it still shuts down, help?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
