GIANT complaint - apps freeze, fatal error message, unable to restore

I don't know where to complain, so I'm just doing it here. I went to the apple store to resolve my problems, and whatever they did only fixed them for about a day. They came back the very next day.
I'm not sure I can articulate just how much I hate my iPhone since July 2008. I came to rely on it for google maps, the internet, my e-mail, etc. And now, ever since that super crappy update I can't rely on it for anything. Maps works about 25% of the time, and all of the applications freeze and don't work. I used to love this thing and now I just want to throw it out a window. I keep getting a fatal error message when I try to upgrade to the 2.0.2 as well... and it won't install... so I can't even do a restore of the phone. By the way, I have restored my phone about once a week every week since the big upgrade in July, which seems to prevent the applications from crashing for at least a few days. I can use this thing as an iPod, as a text messaging tool, and as a phone. The rest of the features, since July, have come to be completely useless to me as I can't rely on them.

Here is the key.
Do not use the App store within the iPhone to buy or update Apps. It will brick your iPhone. It will cause all sorts of instability with the rest of the OS.
Use iTunes for that purpose.

Error Message: Unable to restore Web Dynpro Explorer

I just installed the NetWeaverDev Studio Version 2.0.8. When executing the Studio and create a web dynpro project I receive the error message:
Unable to restore Web Dynpro Explorer
Reason: Unable to instantiate view
com.sap.ide.webdynpro.projectbrowser.views.projectbrowser.
Does anyone have an idea? Is there a need for environment variable to be set somehow?
Regards, Olaf

There should be no need to do some post-installation steps for the DevStudio (no env. variables, no configuration files or such).
So I can't explain the error message, but here are some hints how to check for more information:
In the DevStudio menu, choose "Window", then "Show View", then "Other...". In the new dialog, select "PDE Runtime" and open the View "Error Log". There you will find internal error messages of the IDE that might help to identify the reason behind your problem.
A second, even more verbose way to get internal error information is the .log file in the .metadata folder of your DevStudio workspace.
And the last way (if none of the above helps) is to start the DevStudio with a so called "console log". To enable this, you have to modify your shortcut to the DevStudio in the follwing way:
- open the ShortCut properties (right click on icon, Properties)
- add " -consolelog" (without the quotes, but with a space before the dash) to the target
- modify the already existing "-vm" option in the target so that it points to java.exe instead of javaw.exe.
Start the DevStudio. A new console window should show up. Any errors written to the .log file mentioned above will appear in the console window as well as additional information that shows up nowhere else.
Kind Regards, Frank

Fatal error message: unable to open new software application on Tungsten e2

I recently downloaded a new software program onto my tungsten e2- I had to put it on my 1gb memory card of course because I've used up all my internal memory. I already had another software app on the card that works perfectly. And I also still have more than enough space for the new app I downloaded. (FYI the new app is sanford antimicrobial pocket guide for pda, bought it directly off their professional website & downloaded directly to my computer so no problems there). However, when I click on the icon to open up the new program, I get this error message: "Emul68KMain.c, Line:108, divide by zero at address 00861870". Now this is not a language I understand, so I'm hoping some computer/pda wiz can help me out!!

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Without being familiar with that particular application, I suggest you revisit the developer's support site for help. Even if you were able to install the application to the SD card, the application will still need some room to run in the device's main memory. In other words, applications do not "run" in the card per se...they're just stored there, but when they run, they still require access to sufficient device memory.

Getting error message "unable to perform in-app purchase"

I have been trying to renew the subsription on the Sun app on my iPhone 4 but i am getting the error message "Unable to perform in-app purchase", I have money in my account, i have turned my phone off and back on and restarted it. Also my internet connection is fine. I cant work out why it won't make the purchase when i have had this app for a few months now and have always been able to renew my subscription each month without any issues, any idea why this could be happening?
thanks =)

Did you check your restrictions?

Error message, unable to download App Store purchase

Made some purchases on the App Store, all downloaded successfully, but I'm unable to download SnapHeal from MacPhun; I got the message, "There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
I tried downloading several times, went to Community Support, closest thread was headed, iTunes Store: "An unknown error occurred (-9808)" My error message did not include a reference number, but I followed instructions about setting the correct date & time and adjusting certificate settings, then restarting. I also repaired disc permissions, zapped the PRAM and restarted my iMac.
I'm still unable to download the purchase.

Thanks Eric, I'll work on the troubleshooting and contact link right now, below your message three other links look very promising:

Why do I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502) when I try to open Mobile Web?

I have an LG Octane 3 basic phone.   Does everything I need, phone and text, and I never was interested in web or e-mail capabilities until I recently upgraded our plan to the "More Everything" and was able to use data and check e-mail and access the internet.   Whenever I try to open Mobile Web, I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502)".    As of March 31, 2015, all of us basic phone users lose the "Mobile Email" app on our phones, and will have to access web versions of our e-mail via the web. Which is currently unavailable and doesn't work.
Over a week ago, did a chat session with a tech support rep, and she indicated that either she or an engineer would contact me with how to fix the problem.   Have not heard anything from anybody, and the deadline is approaching quickly.   Have no need of all the excess features of a smart phone, nor do I wish to be forced to jettison a perfectly working phone for my needs and buy something I don't want to be able to do 2 simple things.............check e-mail to see if there's something that needs to be answered right away, and to check traffic reports when I'm on the road, or find something in an area with which I'm not familiar.     Not really too much to ask, you would think....   )
Has anyone else had this same problem, and if so, how do we fix it....??? My next move is a phone call, but those haven't always been very productive.
If any of you have any ideas why this error keeps coming up and the web can't load, and some on how to fix it, I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.
Karen

Since the chat session got no reply, I contacted Verizon by phone and a very nice level 2 tech created a trouble ticket and sent it up the food chain. Got a call back, maybe 2 days later, and had a nice, although very long session with a higher level tech. They had determined that the browser for the LG Octane is an old one and no longer supported by Verizon.    We tried everything we could to download the Opera browser, but since I was totally unable to get Mobile Web to work, couldn't do it.   The only other possible "fix" was to totally reset the phone to factory specs and try it again.   That would mean a lot of work on my part to move anything I didn't want to disappear off the phone, and find a place to forward texts that had to be saved.   Caught our tenants lying about why the rent was late (again), and need that for when I put them back on a lease....
Long story short is that unless we try this total reset, which isn't a sure fix, either, anyone who isn't able to access the Mobile Web with the LG Octane will have to change their plan to avoid paying for data that you can't access using any method.
I ran a test with an app that I knew was no longer valid.....that was sending photos to PixPlace.   Got the exact same error message as when trying to access Mobile Web to get the web version of my e-mail.   That just verified that the 502 error is, at least in the LG Octane, for an app that no longer works.   After today, we'll get the same thing when we try to access Mobile E-Mail.
Have to admit, it's a real ****-off, but this shouldn't surprise me, since Verizon won't repair older copper phone lines if you are in an area where FIOS is offered.
I am going to immediately change my husband's and my cell phone plan to one without data, and see what I can find that will still give unlimited calls and text. The way my luck runs, they won't offer one for a decent price. The other half has some very long-winded friends and he was always running over minutes, and some months are very text-heavy and I'd go over my limit.   Absolutely HATE touch screens, and am not looking forward to having to get a new phone.

Error message: "Unable to load screen : root. ChangeLocation.ChangeLocationStart"

I paid for & downloaded zagat to go app from handmark & it fails to run on my bb tour. Here is the error message I keep getting on my bb tour - "Unable to load screen : root. ChangeLocation.ChangeLocationStart". I've tried everything, including uninstalling and reinstalling the zagat app and I keep getting the very same error message: "Unable to load screen : root. ChangeLocation.ChangeLocationStart".
btw, I have plenty of free space on my device. HELP!!!
I tried Handmark support several times, to no avail. Thanks very much. mike

I'm having the same problem. Have tried uninstalling, reloading, nothing. Also read something about do not select Verizon as a carrier, but to use bizB, however on the 7. (new version) I'm trying to install bizB is not an option. Help please!

HT4623 Unable to update applications installed.Error message "unable to connet iTunes" appears after installation icon hanging

Since last two weeks I am unable to update my applications installed in iPad with iOS 6. Also no new app is getting installed. Installation icon appears but after some time error message "unable to connect iTunes " appears.Can some one guide me to solve this problem please?

I've had similar problems. Whenever I try and update apps on the iPhone, the app would apparently download ok, but then not install. This didn't happen with new apps - only ones I was updating.
I got around the issue by downloading the update in iTunes on my Mac, then deleting the app from the phone, then syncing. The problem with this method is that certain apps had saved settings which are lost when following this method.
However... I seem to have fixed the issue after 2 months of trying.
I followed the advice of this page:
http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/09/10/itunes-8-workaround-for-5002-unknown-error -when-trying-to-update-apps/
Then I repaired disk permissions and finally I completely erased and restored my iPhone BEFORE I synced it after the moving of the Mobile Applications folder.
It's all working perfectly now and made my life much easier (especially with Aurora Feint updates), so I hope that this method works for some others.
Good luck.

I was referred to this site when I looked for answers to why I got Fatal Error message with error code c0000005 when trying to upload photos to my computer. I see that someone else asked the same question, 90 people viewed but no answer given?

It looks to me like it is a problem on your Windows computer not being able to start an application. See the following link to Microsoft Community support (although the specifics of the problem in that case may not be applicable) and also note all of the "Related Content" at the upper right side of that link (and there may be others if you search that forum). http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/the-applicatio n-is-unable-to-start-correctly/bbb9c037-77b3-4fae-93b9-ded70f7f9a17
It may help if you know or can determine which program Windows is trying to open when you upload photos -- there can be many different ones and it can be set by the user. If you are using Windows 7, you may need to check your Autoplay settings. There are some instructions in the following link that may help and that discuss how you can use Windows Explorer to manually transfer the photos: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Error message "unable to connect with server. Check wifi connection"

I started having the error message "unable to connect with server. Check wifi connection" when I attempt to use search function within a certain apps and when I try to download certain magazine (eg. National geographic). I didn't have this problem with I first started using iPad, and no problems with connectivity when using other apps. Can anyone help?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Error Message: Unable to get document: HTTP-1

We run tools 8.44 and Enterprise Portal 8.8. There are some paglets created on the Portal as well including a payadvice pagelet for the users to look up their pay information. Pay information comes from the HCM DB. What we notice from time to time is that when logging in to the Portal, the pay advice pagelet will not display and gives "Error getting Content".
I check the app and web logs and they come back with "Failed to load URL: http://server1.domain.ca/psc/environment/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/s/WEBLIB_EO_PE_LN.ISCRIPT2.FieldFormula.IScript_EPP_NAV_PAGELET in the Portal registry.

However if you hit page refresh (F5) inside the browser the pagelet will load fine.
Appreciate insight. This issue is contained to dev environments only.

Indesign CC packaging process fails with the error message "Unable to copy necessary file(s)"

When I try to package a file with a lot of links, the Indesign CC packaging process fails with the error message "Unable to copy necessary file(s)". I am able to make a PDF of the same file, but when packaking the process fails every time. The app does not crash, just gives an error message. What gives?
(I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina Display with 16 GB RAM, running OS 10.9 and all CC 9.1 updated with the latest patches).

@John – that's really strange… the thing with the file names depending on the file type. That could eleminate Mavericks a bit from the equation and put the weight more on InDesign CC.
Provided:
1. You give it a go with InDesign CS6 v8.0.2 and tests are showing it will work fine in this regard.
2. The same composite characters are present in both file types, the ai files and the PhotoShop ones. On a Mac OSX characters for files and folders can consist of "composite" components:
ü for example is a two component one: the u and the two dots above the u. On a machine with MS Windows, this is not the case…
InDesign CC was programmed from scratch for a 64 bit architecture. So it could be a severe bug in InDesign CC.
Maybe other readers in this forum could test for these cases…
