IOS 5 broke some of my apps

After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, some of my apps (Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, and Oxford German-English Dictionary) no longer work properly. Instead of displaying properly formatted dictionary entries, they display several screens of formatting code, followed by a minimally formatted entry. Is there any official statement about compatibility? I don't recall seeing any statement warning me that some of my apps might stop working if I upgraded to iOS 5.

Some of your Apps may not be compatible with IOS5.1
Wait for updates.

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

TS1702 Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset. Now I can't get most of my apps back because I can't download version 5.0. I paid for some of these apps.

Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset and now I can't get most of my apps back & can't download version 5.0 which I need to get back some of my apps. I paid for some of these. I've tried my backup and it didn't put them back on.

If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5. A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

After update iOS 8 some of the apps don't work please help me

After update iOS 8 some of the apps don't work please help me As fast as you can

There can be some of that. Unfortunately, it's up to the app developers to make their app work with the iOS.
So checking for updates can help. You can also look at the reviews for the app, see if others have the same issue. If 8 has broken the app, all you can do is wait.
In some cases, a reset can help. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again. (this can work if the app is fine with iOS8 but is just glitching...it's a harmless reboot of the system)
Another thing to try is to force quit the app(s) and force them to reboot. Double tap the home button. Flick the preview for the app up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button to exit the mode. Try your app again. If it's just a glitch then this sometimes clears it up.
I know once I updated my devices I then had several updates pushed out - updates that required iOS8 so weren't available before the update.

IOS 5 Notifications Not Working for Some Third Party Apps

Recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5. Notification center worked perfectly for a week, but then I noticed that certain apps (Beluga) would not show up in the notification center despite receiving new messages. The home page didnt update with a badge either. It seems as if push notifications for some third party apps are not working correctly.
I have already attempted all of these to correct the problem to no avail:
1. Confirming notification settings for each application
2. Turning notifications off and then on
3. Removing and reinstalling app
4. Restarting the iPhone
5. Shutting down and powering up the iPhone
6. Restoring the iPhone

Having the same problem... Ipad 2 running iOS 5 working fine. My iPhone 4s gets the occasional Facebook notification but not much else. Got home today and had about 5 notifications on the iPad that never came through to the iPhone. Tried everything you tried and nothing....

Nowadays, I'm using the 4.2.1, but I'm having some problems to install apps from Apple Store because this iOS is not compatible with the apps.
Thank you very much...

This is the version required by the Apple Store when I try to install apps.
For you understand better my problem, I'm not able to install simple apps like facebook and skype
What do you advise me to do?
Best regards,

Since installing IOS.6 some of my apps will not install.

Since installing IOS.6 some of my apps have been sitting waiting or installing for over 24 hours they will not install. What is the solution please.

Have you solved this problem, if so how? My Ipad2 is still refusing to download or update any Apps since I downloaded Ios6.

Hi, I update the iOS and now some app are in other language

Did you change your credit card in itunes under your account to one from another country. That sometimes will change the language on your apps try This "Click on your email address in the top right of iTunes to get to your account details, then click the "change" button next to your "Country/Region". Select a country for which you have (access to) a credit card. iTunes will ask you for credit card information when you save this country setting.

Why can't I access some of my apps with the iOS 7.1?

For some of my apps, I'll click on it, and it will open and try load for literally 1 second, and then it goes back to the home screen. I tried doing a soft-refresh, but that didn't work.

Okay, so I just found out that uninstalling and reinstalling some of the apps does the trick. I don't know if it works for all of them, though.

Have done the iOS 5 update and lost some of my apps now can't get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account

Have done the iOS 5 update and lost half of my apps won't let me get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account as I don't use credit or debit cards

Relax, nobody's ripping you off...
Apps are tied to the Apple ID you purchased them on and not the device so getting them all back is easy so long as you know the account details. To reinstall the apps just use the App Store and use the original Apple ID (account) that was used to purchase them, then re-install. If you setup a new Apple ID on your device when you initialized iOS 5 then go into the App Store app and change the account back to the one that was there before. Then go to update > Not on this iPhone and start installing...

My ipad updated to IOS 7 today and now some of my apps are not working properly

I updated my ipad to IOS7 and now some of my apps are not functioning correctly. Is there anyway to revert back to previous software?

I assume that you are familiar with your iPad's portrait orientation lock feature and you have verified your iPhone is not locked in this manner.
In case you're not familiar, please make sure this icon does not appear on your iPad's status bar:
If your iPad is not in portrait orientation lock, then the app developer should be prodded into updating their app to fix this defect. Generally speaking, the App Store indicates a way to contact the developer to inform them of such defects.

TS1702 When I backed up my ipad because I thought I had a problem with it in which I didnt, I went to restore my ipad and now some of my app that I had purchased are not there, the free version is on my Ipad and Icloud but not the purchased version?

I thought I had a problem with my Ipad in which I didnt, so I backed up my Ipad and restored it, but now Some of my apps that I have purchased are not available only the free version, not the purchased version. I would have to purchase again and it is not backed up into my Icloud either ?

I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

How I can transfer some of my apps from I phone to my MacBook Pro?

How I can transfer some of my apps from I phone to my MacBook Pro?

Start iTunes 11.1 or later on your MacBook Pro and connect your iPhone. Select your iPhone in iTunes and under General select Transfer purchases.
That will create backups of your apps on your MacBook Pro. The apps will not run on your MacBook Pro though just in case you were wanting to do that. The Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro and the iOS on your iPhone are different operating systems.
