IPAD 3 - 3rd Party apps stop working. Only fix is to re-install each app. Is there a fix for this?

I am an IPAD 3 owner. When I install apps such as facebook, twitter, linked-in every week to two weeks the apps stop opening and the only fix is to re-install the entire app. Is there a work-around or fix for this?

Richard, you haven't mentioned if you've tried anything other than a re-install....but if it were me, the first thing I would look at is memory( and other basic) issues...using the restart/reset/restore process...

When I am on Safari, the page randomly goes back to the previous page I was on. This is really frustrating when I am writing something online because it does not save my work. Fix for this?

How can I forward an SMS as an email , i have doing this daily on 9900, surprised to miss this on Q10, i am ready to buy an 3rd party app also, if required, it is must for me.

1. when i read an sms, there is option to forward as email in 9900.
Since i am using Q10, i can not do this.
I need this immediately.
Anybody can help??
I am ready to buy any 3rd party app also, if it can provide this without slowing down the performance.
2. Further, i can not sms from contacts screen. There is no option to sms , when i select a contact. I have to go to SMS and there type contact name , how can i enable this?
3. If i receive a call and i want to send sms to the person, i can not tap on called no and choose and option to sms him. I have to copy that number, go to SMS app and use that no to sms. If i am in a meeting , it is long process and kill focus in meeting. In android, there is one swipe to reject call and send an sms that i am in meeting. Can we achieve this basic features in Q10..

I can forward a SMS as an email on my Q10.
open the SMS and hold down on the text, this opens a side menu with the "share" icon on it (like a Y),
Then you can select how you want to share, eg SMS, Email BBM etc.
Hope this helps?

Backing Up 3rd Party Apps

Hello,
I tried searching this...maybe I didn't put in the right string of words...How does one go about backing up 3rd party apps. I have gotten that Error 523 or whatever it is...where I basically have to reinstall everything on my phone. I can usually pull the email/contacts/messages backup off my computer but I don't know how to specifically back up my 3rd party apps.
Also, since I am asking anyway...is there anyway to wipe my phone completely using desktop manager? I have heard people say they use JL commander or whatever...I'm unfamiliar with that program and was wondering if there was a way through DM before I search out another program.
I appreciate the help in advance.

3rd party apps stopped working on 3gs

This is similar in nature to other threads but the difference appears to be that I started from a 3gs phone with 3.0 installed. After changing the home page the screen stopped responding to touch input. I resetted the phone and all 3rd party apps. cease to function. When I click on the appropriate icon, the app. begins to load for about a second and then returns to the icons menu. Pre-installed (apple) programs all appear to function normally. I tried restoring from backup but this did not work. I am loathe to try a system restore but it looks like this is the only option available. Any other suggestions?

Hi - hoping my experience helps someone in this situation. I had the same problem as reported: all 3rd-party apps suddenly stopped working. Rebooting the iPhone did not help.
Here's a sequence that ended (so far) with mixed results.
1) Tried the above suggestion of downloading a free app.
2) Launched an app and then another to test, all seemed well.
3) Manually clicked the iTunes Sync button.
4) Tried launching another app - that one failed - but the two that worked above still worked.
5) Deleted the newly downloaded app and then redownloaded it.
6) Launched every 3rd-party app - all worked fine.
7) Manually re-synced again.
8) Launched various apps - most work, a couple don't.
Will continue to work on this, but the problem seems to be related to syncing. Downloading an app appears to help. The results may vary depending on the app that's not working.
So... try downloading a free app and launch the non-working apps before resyncing to see what happens. Syncing may break them again, but at least you might be able to get the apps back for a while without resorting to a factory reset. If you don't need to resync, you might turn off automatic syncing or use the non-USB power cord to recharge and avoid the problem.
Perhaps corruption is happening somewhere, either on the iPhone or in iTunes, when syncing. It's frustrating.

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.

3rd Party Apps stop working each day?

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I got my new 3G phone on Sunday and loaded a bunch of 3rd party apps. Monday morning, none of them worked--I click to start, and looks like it will start (the screen changes to the initial app screen), then it abruptly closes. Doesn't happen for the pre-installed apps. So I deleted and reinstalled 2 apps and they worked, soon after, I noticed all of them were working again. Yesterday and today, same thing--none of the 3rd party apps is working.
Anyone else with a similar story? Anyone know how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Thanks for the info--though I have heard conflicting info that pressing home on the 3G actually does terminate an app completely. Unfortunately, it does not resolve the issue with the 3rd party apps not working. I've tried soft reboots, hard reboots, switching from wifi to 3G, and even did a full restore, but no change. The only current way I can get them to work again is to uninstall one and reinstall it. For some reason, this also fixes the rest of them. Pretty sure this is an actual OS bug. You don't even need to reboot after reinstalling an app--it works, then the rest of them do. I guess I will just have to live with it until Apple comes out with an update. I have never had an Apple device before...is there a way for a user to enter a ticket so that they know about this issue?

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.

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.

Accelerometer Barely Works in Native Apps, Perfectly Fine in 3rd Party Apps

Slightly weird issue. I had the issue in 2.2.1 but I'd hoped it would resolve itself when I installed 3.0. Basically Changing orientation in Safari will pretty much not work at all, or in email, messaging etc. But if I run a 3rd party app that relies on the accelerometer, it works perfectly fine. For example I restored my phone entirely with 3.0, no jailbreaking, nor did I restore my backup from iTunes, so a completely clean iPhone, no data or 3rd party apps at all. It still didn't work, I installed a Liquid simulator app which I thought would make a good tester, and once again, perfectly fine, not a single issue. For the record, the accelerometer in native apps isn't entirely dead, shake to shuffle works fine, and there was one point where I had the phone on it's side for a while and it eventually dropped to landscape, but then I couldn't get it back again.
So what more can I do? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? I can only assume I can rule out a hardware issue since the liquid app works fine.
So to summarise:
3.0 Software, clean install, no backup restored. Accelerometer barely works in native apps. 3rd party apps, all works fine.

sounds like a good reason to go to telstra and demand the 3gs as a replacement for your faulty phone

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

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.
