ICloud not syncing 3rd party app docs; developer says its known iCloud prob

I have at least two apps (that I know of) where, in the past two days, iCloud sync has become extremely buggy and basically stopped uploading updates. I contacted one of the app developers, who responded, "It appears to be an Apple problem with their iCloud servers not uploading or downloading the documents I am storing in iCloud. It's affecting lots of apps. . . Hopefully Apple will fix it soon."
Is that true? I'm having almost identical problems on two apps (Day One and Tap Forms). The syncing problem is identical on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina, iPhone 5 and iPad 3rd generation. I've tried all of the recommended steps, including the painful "reset all settings". No improvement.
Anyone know what's going on?

I noticed that this bug kicks in only if i don't mark the reminder as done by the end of the day! and each time it tends to reschedule only at 5.30 pm.

  • ISight works with iChat & iMovie but not with 3rd-party apps

    Hi,
    I cannot get iSight to work at all with aMSN, Mercury Messenger or Yahoo. It is fine with the Apple apps. My son has a G4 iBook and the same iSight works fine on this with the Apple apps and aMSN. We have looked at all the settings we can think of, and they are the same on both computers. There must surely be a very simple answer...
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Bob.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

     Hello Bob. If you unhook your son's iBook from the ethernet cable, plug in your PowerBook where his iBook was, and still have the same problem, you likely need some work on your Mac.
    It may be an issue of the relative health of your Mac versus the vagaries of some third party software:• Be sure you Mac OS X maintenance is up to date.
    • If you have not already done so, try re-applying the 10.4.3 Combo Update. Unless you have a "tried and tested" update method, I suggest a technique such as How I Update My Mac OS X.If that does not help, and if your Mac works with all your other apps, see the app's Help, Readme, or other documentation that came with the download for the problem app(s). If that fails, see the Support sections of the third party app web site to find out its known issues with your Mac and for help on how to install and use their applications. If they cannot help you use their application, you may want to try a different app.
    In the worst case, you may want to get a PC if you must connect to the PC versions of Microsoft or Yahoo! Messenger. These apps are better supported for the PC platform, although they do not offer the features of iChat AV 3.
    The simpler answer is iChat AV, but iChat AV will not connect for video with your chosen third party apps.

  • My ipod will not sync with itunes.  The computer says its there but itunes does not.  I've tried everything suggested.  I keep getting an error message at the very end.

    Here is the error message I get.
    When iTunes does install, my ipod still won't sync because it's the wrong version.  I've tried doing the version it suggests and still nothing.

  • 3rd party apps not working on new iPad 4G, 32GB.

    Having read many threads on this, I have re-stored (existing backup and new), re-set, re-synced. I have downloaded new apps, deleted old ones and redownloaded, have tried to drag and drop apps from Library to Devices. Have reset my Apple ID on computer and pad, and currently have only one ID and then restored as new. Apple apps work fine. But not one 3rd party app opens. A short black flash on the screen and nothing. All the supposedly active apps' icons show in the "active dock". What am I missing?

    Thank you for replying. Did try this again, and then another recovery (holding down 2 buttons 'til Apple icon) but no luck.

  • IOS 4- App Store and 3rd Party Apps don't load

    So I didn't have any problems with upgrading to iOS 4. The problems started when I tried to play with my apps such as Facebook and other games. They seem to stay in loading and nothing happens. I have turned of my phone multiple times and nothing seems to work. The App store also stays in a loading stage and nothing appears.
    Is anyone having similar problems or know of any solutions?

    OK. Here's the solution that worked for me. See my prior post on 22 June for background info.
    After loading new apps and deleting and reloading existing apps to my iPhone via iTunes on my computer, the iPhone still would not run 3rd party apps. So I decided to start from scratch.
    PROCEDURE:
    1) Back up the iPhone.
    2) Click the restore button to take the iPhone back bare bones iOS 4 operation. It is not necessary to download iOS 4 again. Do NOT restore from back-up as control of the process to the greatest extent possible is the goal.
    3) Once the restore is complete, allow iTunes to configure the iPhone from the back-up.
    4) Check some or all 3rd party apps to verify function.
    5) Power down iPhone and restart it. Check some or all 3rd party apps to verify function again.
    6)Load music and video (I manage mine manually)
    This worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
    I am most certainly not an expert. I just decided to try an approach I thought the Apple Genius's might suggest.
    Good luck!

  • I recently purchased a 4S. I now have 2 files in my iCloud both with my name. One from my 3gs and one from my 4S. The problem is the data history of all my games and 3rd party apps did not transfer over to my 4S. Is there a way to merge the two in icloud?

    I backed up my 3gs to the iCloud and when I synced my 4S, it did not transfer my game histories or my 3rd party app histories. When I look at my iCloud storage, it shows both phones under the same name. Is there a way to merge them together in iCloud? I tried adding the account to my 4S but since they are both named the same, it says I already have that account added! Help!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

  • Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed"  Why now?

    Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed"  Why now since I updated Mavericks?

  • How to enable iCloud Keychain for 3rd party apps?

    I came across iCloud Keychain, which if enabled, lets you backup keychain passwords and restore on other iOS devices. Also read that 3rd party apps can integerate iCloud Keychain to their apps in order to ensure that the app's keychain items are backed up to iCloud Keychain. Would like to know more on what 3rd party apps can do with iCloud keychain. 
    Even Appls's FAQ says so:
    Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps?  Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are then kept up to date on all devices that use the app and running iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
    I couldn't really find implementation details. Please help.

    If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
    SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
    "restore candy crush backup progress"
    Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

  • Loss of Music and Video and 3rd party apps not working on 3G

    I've had to restore my 3G iphone about 10x now. The phone keeps "losing" my music and video, and then the 3rd party apps don't work. A reset does not help, I have to restore my phone and set it up as a new phone each time. I went to the Genius Bar, they gave me a new phone, but said it was likely a software issue. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a way to fix it? I waste like 2 hours re-syncing my phone every time this happens. I'm so disappointed with this iPhone 3G...I wish I hadn't sold my original iPhone and could switch back to that. Please, any help that anyone can offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thank you for replying. Did try this again, and then another recovery (holding down 2 buttons 'til Apple icon) but no luck.

  • HT4847 What is the purpose of backing up a free 3rd party app to iCloud?

    What would be the purpose of backing up a free 3rd party app to iCloud?  Should you and why?

    Apps themselves are not backed up, but the data stored by that app is. So, that could include game saves, personal preferences, saved documents, etc.
    An iCloud backup can be restored to the same or a new device, thereby transferring the saved data so you can continue where you left off when getting a new phone, for example.

  • Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

    Hi
    I hope someone can help me with this issue.
    After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
    1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
    2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
    3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
    4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
    5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
    Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
    Anybody has any solution?
    Thanks in advance.

  • MacBook Pro 3rd Party App not loading just 'flashes' 10.8.5

    Hi
    Could really use some help here, been using this forum for around 6 years and have managed to solve all my Mac problems through it which has been great, but I have an issue I really can't figure out.
    Replaced my HD with an SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner and everything has worked perfectly apart from one really annoying problem.
    If I unzip a 3rd party App (not .dmg these work ok) for a piece of music software (as that is all I use this Mac for) it just 'flashes' for a second and stops - where as normally it will ask for Password to make changes and install it.
    If I use Console to inspect the error I get this…
    com.apple.launched.peruser.501:([0x0-044044].com.native-instruments.kExecutableN ame[318]) Job failed to exec(3) for weird reason: 13
    Dock: no information back from LS about running process
    This is what I have tried.
    1. Security and Privacy Settings are set to allow non Apple Apps.
    2. I have repaired Permissions in Disc Utility and from Terminal in Recovery HD via resetpassword command.
    3. I have opened the app for the Get Info part and I have Read/Write permission on it.
    4. I booted in Safe Mode, still the same.
    5. I created a new Admin user on my Mac and tried to open the same App after unzipping and it immediately asks for the prompt to enter password to make changes. (so the download/unzip process is ok).
    So, I guess it really must have something to do with my permissions somehow (or not!). As this is the only thing that does not work I feel I have narrowed it down but just can't fix it.
    Any help/advice will be much appreciated.

    Ok
    I have fixed this. May be of help to others at some point.
    I have been using Zipeg for .zip folders for about 4 years and never had an issue, I saw on a non related post about .zip files and how they can become corrupted during de-compression.
    Anyway, I deleted zipeg and re-installed it, still the same, after that I read a post about OSX built in Archive Utility, it wasn't in my Utility folder so another post gave the path. I had no idea it even existed.
    System / Library / Core Services - Archive Utility.
    Using this all is working perfectly again.

  • Volume not working on 3rd party apps

    My volume works on ipod, facetime, itunes (all apple native apps) on my ipad 2, but not on any other 3rd party apps such as zombies, angry birds and time/warner tv apps.  I have checked volume both within apps and in settings.

    Hi Sachin
    Thanks for getting back to me
    here's a link to the 3rd party hosted site that shows the problem
    http://www.cccuk.com/cccmuse/
    and here's a link to the same muse site on BC
    http://cccuk.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
    which works ok, unfortunately this site is going to have to be hosted on the 3rd party host, if I can't get it to work I'll have to go back to dreamweaver which would be a shame.
    Cheers
