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 successfully unlocked my iPhone 4S (AT&T, iOS 7.0.2) and many apps are missing. Went to app store and updated all apps. If I manually update a single app it will show up. Solution to get all apps back in place?

Hi downeyjdm,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve this issue, I would suggest updating your iOS to the latest version, which is 7.0.3.

How can I delete apps from the app store? There seems to be every app I have ever downloaded and deleted since I got my phone in 2007. When I go to app store and select update apps there's a menu at the top that says purchased! I would like to delete hist

Many thanks

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

Try removing said card then re-enter all card details, if still no joy then try a different card to see if it is the card or a problem with your iTunes account, one other thing that you could try is changing your iTunes password as this sometimes cure thing as well.
Also have a look at your purchase history to see if you have any items that are still waiting for payment as this can sometimes screw up your payment method, if this is the case then I would defiantly try a different card.
If none of the above work then I would contact iTunes support.

HT201209 If I have redeemed my my gift and the balance is updated in the App Store and I still can not down load apps...what could the issue be? I keep getting this error message "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed". Then it refers me to apple support.

ITunes Match and 3rd Party Apps - iPad/iPhone

With the myriad of apps out there that integrate with iTunes, why is it that nearly none of them offer support for iTunes Match? (And, a seemingly cool one that claims to offer support -- "BeatBlaster" -- http://www.beatblaster.com/ -- that has all the features I'm looking for, isn't available in the App Store in the US). I'm really surprised at the lack of information on this topic on the web... A Google search for it only pulls up articles that are 2-3 years old. The best information I could find was that the API toolset made available to developers is either really limited, or it's just not available at all... and that's in an article from 2011. Are you telling me that Apple is STILL -- 3+ years later -- limiting access to developer tools for iTunes Match integration (or just has never created any)? I understand that I'm asking about something that could be considered "outside" of Apple (3rd Party apps), but I'm just really looking for someone that might be in the know on this stuff... And, I'm hoping that that person can clue the rest of us in on "what's up".
Bottom line, I'm looking for a clock radio app that supports iTunes Match... I've got our Master Bedroom and Bath rigged up with in-ceiling speakers, attached to a bluetooth receiver, with a wall-mounted iPad serving as the "jukebox". When my dang iPad doesn't drop the WiFi connection, it's pretty slick. I'd just like to have a single app that a) offers a large, well-visible clock, b) allows me to browse my iTunes Match library of songs and play them as I'd like, and c) have a "play my iTunes music as an alarm" option. I know... directly d/l-ing songs to the iPad is an option, but it defeats the whole purpose of iTunes Match, which I subscribe to because my music library is WAY too big to fit on the iPad (or my iPhone).
Anyway, any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You'll have to ask the software makers this question. It is up to the 3rd party vendors, not Apple, to provide the features you are asking for.

New iMac Mountain Lion and 3rd party apps

Todays date is March 31, 2013.
If I were to buy a brand new iMac with Mountain Lion will I have any 3rd party Apps problems?
Mountain Lion significantly damaged my current computer and they are blaming it all on 3rd party apps, so I wonder if it is gonna continue with a brand new iMac computer?

Maybe my question was worded incorrectly. The question is not about my current computer, but about the new iMac being sold today.
Suppose I buy a brand new iMac today and tomorrow I decide to install new software that claim to be compatible with ML, is there a chance that this software might not truely be compatible with ML? If the answer is "Yes" then why bother buying another iMac?
Software sold on App Store - are there software there that do not work with ML? It really makes me wonder what the heck is going on these days.
To petermac87 - I had MacKeeper on my computer twice and both times I had to get rid of it, not sure if this software was causing problems or not, but it sure as heck did not solve any of my problems.
Hi Keith, no I understand what you are doing. You need to be careful with some third party programs. MacKeeper, as you have found, is a very destructive program, despite all their claims. It has ground some users Macs almost to a halt.
Most software from the App store and reputable developers such as Adobe, Roxio, etc. are well up to date. In fact,most software in the AppStore is Mountain Lion compatable. You will not find the dodgy Apps such as MacKeeper there. You need to remember that less is better when it comes to Macs. Your iMac does not need a swag of maintenance toolsas some people decide thry need. Clean My Mac, Anti-Virus programs, Novelty Apps etc. are unnecessary and will cause you nothing but problems.
Apps such as iPhoto, iTunes etc.are made to intergrate with the Mac OS and are therefore safe and reliable, but once you add something such as MacKeeper or Intego Security, then it most likely will cause conflicts.
So basically what I am saying is do not fill your iMac with a whole pile of unnecessary crapapps which will slow it down, cause conflict, etc. There are plenty of reliable Apps out there to do what you want. If the reviews are a little confusing, then please don't hesitate to drop back here and ask.
And of course backup your system from Day 1 so you can always return it to a working state it you do by chance install something that causes problems and you can't uninstall.
Good Luck
Pete

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......

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.

Netweaver Mobile 7.1 Data Orchestration Engine and 3rd party apps...

Folks,
I have a third party mobile app that just won't go away (pun intended).
I will have a XMAM AND a 3rd Party App on 1 mobile device x's 1000's of devices.
Can I use Netweaver 7.1 DOE to synchronize my devices 3rd party app? I will have to develop new Business Objects of course.
CP

Hi Christopher,
you can use Netweaver Mobile 7.1 to download and deploy so-called mobile components. These mobile components will be always installed into the NW client container. In principle it is possible to create "client installers" which allows you writing a xml script containing installation commands. But as far as I know these commands are restricted to things like copying, deleting, file modification etc. Instaling a CAB-file for example will not be possible. And I guess this is what you are looking for, right?
In case, you want to deploy 3rd party apps written for Netweaver Mobile 7.1, deployment is definitely possible. You will create your app as mobile components containing business logic, data objects and UI in the designtime. These components you can remotely deploy through the DOE.
I hope this answer is helpfull for you. In case you have more questions, let me know.
Regards,
Stefan

Apple and 3rd party apps?

Been seeing links to 3rd party apps. Know "anyone" who has loaded and used these? What does this do to the apple waranty?

IOS 8.1.2 and 3rd party keyboard issues still happening

We've had at least three updates to iOS 8 and 3rd party keyboards are still broken. The keyboard reverts back to the standard version randomly, it reverts back when texting from the lock screen, sometimes it freezes completely. I've tried three different keyboards and it happens on all of them. How is this still going on???

This is beyond annoying at this point. One of the reasons I went with the iPhone was their supposed commitment to third party keyboards. I loathe the stock one. It's awful. You missed the spotlight bug. I can never remember where my apps are in folders, and it's difficult to use spotlight without a keyboard!
Fix this Apple, or offer some sort of compensation. Android keyboards work just fine.

TS1702 Safari, Maps, App Store, and Non Apple Apps crashing on IOS6

Since upgrading to IOS 6, the majority of my apps are crashing after a few seconds, including Safari, App Store, I Books and also non apple apps like BBC News etc.
I have:

Restored
Tried the date and time change (not affective)
I cant at the moment even add any new apps or reinstall as this crashes.
This is so frustrating! Any one have a fix?
Thanks, Nick

Anyone have any suggestion. They would be greatly appreciated.

TS2446 i can sign in apple ID but can not update app store and add new app

i can not update my app store and add new app

That didn't answer either of my questions.
What are you trying to sign into using Safari?
Did you change the email on your existing Apple ID or create a new Apple ID?
What "app button" are you talking about?
