IPhone 3G bricks when installing apps

Major Problem here:

****, pressed post before I was ready!
As I was saying:
This is the second iPhone 3G I've had now that does this; when installing or updating Apps, the iPhone will suddenly re-boot halfway through and refuse to turn on fully. The Apple logo screen will appear over a black background and nothing else will happen, despite force-rebooting it etc.
Interestingly, iTunes refuses to see the iPhone, and crashes when I plug it in, so re-installing the firmware isn't an option. :P
The phone has software v.2.0 installed, and most of the apps I have on there are in the top '50' on the iTunes store, so I doubt it's them. The last app it was trying to update was 1password.
Anyway, am here at work sans-phone, if anyone has any fixes let me know.
Thanks-
Roy

    You have to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…
    If you don't then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review the account when logging into it then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then you will either have to enter credit card details (you can remove the card after entering it), or create a new account (and this time follow the instructions on the above link)

    I have an error when installing apps on my mac from the apple store. It says "return to the purchase page and try again"... I think it is something to do with the installation process itself. I have tried to clear apple store cache, restarted apple store from debug menu, double checked my apple id account and etc..but doesn't work anyway.

    I'm having the same problem and went as far as to delete and reinstall the AppStore and still no dice.

  • Since loading 7.0.2 i can not purchase apps on my iPhone 4S.  Previously installed apps update, and I can purchase apps on other devices.  Any ideas?

    Mine's much worst - can't send nor receive emails from Yahoo and Gmail. It simply won't connect. Gmail first gives an error about the SSL and to try again without it. But, it still won't connect. Yahoo on the other hand keeps on saying that the apple.imap server is not responding no matter what settings I change. It really does seem that there's something wrong on their end, however, it seems selective.
    This is on top of the fact that all of my contacts were erased and the Personal Hotspot disappears intermittently.
    By the way, I came from 4.2. I updated my wife's from 4.1 and her's is just peachy.

  • Why does Installer stay stuck on password enter screen when installing apps?

    When installing apps through Installer (from .dmg disk images and .pkg packages), everything works smoothly until it asks me for a password. When I enter it, Installer goes back to the screen before it asked me for the password. When I click next, it asks me for my password, and the cycle repeats. I tried removing my password to no avail. I can install .pkg files from the sudo installer -pkg command. I dont know how to do this for installers that are in app form.

    Same issue when trying to unlock locked preference panes in System Settings. Here is the log.

  • Error when installing app

    I keep getting an error when installing some apps - unknown error (0xE8000013)
    Anyone know what this is or why this is happening???
    any help apreciated

    leefilmer,
    Have you tried the steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 ? Reporting the problem to the particular application developer may be helpful, since it seems to be occurring with some apps.
    Oddly, the article I found documenting the error doesn't seem related to the issue you're experiencing: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1266. Do you have a SIM PIN on your iPhone by chance?
    Other than that, have you tried restoring your iPhone and setting it up as a new phone? More information can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 .
    Hope this helps,
    Raleigh

  • Error when installing apps: Cannot connect to iTunes store

    I have a 3G and i've been able to download and install apps through the app store via iPhone. Recently, the iTunes store on my computer gives the error "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An Unknown error occured (5002)" anytime i search or try to download. Similarly on my iPhone i cannot download through the App Store ever since the computer store error, which i concluded to be a linked error. What is error 5002 exactly, and should I just reinstall iTunes to see if the error is corrected?

    Hey jnageer1037,
    Have you updated to the latest version of iTunes and iPhone software, currently iTunes 8.0.1 & iPhone software 2.1.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/
    When you double click on one of the downloaded apps in iTunes does iTunes say the app is missing?
    JWalton,
    Do you see the same issue after downloading FREE ON iTunes content and then syncing it to the iPhone? You can find FREE ON iTunes content by going to iTunes> iTunes Store> FREE ON iTunes near the bottom center of the page.

  • [iPhone] unexpected error (0xE800003A) - installing app to device

    Hi, I'm running into the "Your mobile device has encountered an unexpected error (0xE800003A) during the install phase: Verifying application" error while trying to install and run my app on my iPhone
    Here is what I've verified
    [1]. On my iPhone, Settings->General->Profile shows the Developer Provisioning profile I created on the developer program portal.
    [2]. In XCode, Info.plist has the bundle identifier set to "net.companyName.AppName" (AppId on the dev program portal is magicNumber.net.companyName.AppName"
    [3] Keychain Access shows a "Apple Worldwide developer certificate" and a "iPhone Developer: FirstName LastName" certificate". for the iphone developer certificate, it also shows a "FirstName LastName" private key.
    [4a]. In XCode, after clicking Info icon for the project Target, I verified that "Code Signing Identity" and the next row ("Any Iphone OS device") are set to "iPhone Developer: FirstName LastName".
    [4b] "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" and the next row ("Any iPhone OS device") are set to the developer provisioning profile mentioned in [1].
    When I do a clean Build, I get a dialog that asks "codesign wants to sign ............"
    However, if I attempt to "Build and Go", I get the 0xE800003A error message mentioned above.
    Does anyone have suggestions on what trouble-shooting steps I can take to identify and fix the problem
    Btw after running into the device installation problem mentioned above, I'm now running into problems with the simulator as well.
    After a clean build, I tried to run the app with Active SDK set to the simulator.
    However, now I get a "Failed to launch simulated application: iPhone Simulator failed to install the application." error. So I'm not even able to run the app in the simulator anymore.
    (Btw I have the 2.0 SDK on my Mac. My iPhone has 2.1 on it. I'm assuming that this is a supported configuration.
    I haven't installed the 2.1 SDK because I want to make sure that my app only relies on the 2.0 SDK and can run on 2.0 iphones.)

    Hi, I've answered this on another thread, but I'll repost here... I think I may have encountered a simpler solution.
    Rather then edit the Info.plist directly, you can use XCode to do this for you. However, your mileage may vary, this is only what worked for me!
    The docs seem to be missing a couple of steps.
    After you have edited the build info for your application (accessed by selecting 'Targets > APP_NAME' and then hitting 'Info' in the Xcode main navigation bar) click the 'properties' tab of the Info panel. Here you should see a number of fields (Executable, Identifier, Type, etc...).
    By default you will see the Identifier field populated with the following: *com.mycompany.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}*, by simply changing this to *+your.domain+.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}*, your.domain being the domain you entered when you created your provisioning profile, you should be good to go!
    So for example, say your company is +acme.com+, change your identifier to:
    *+com.acme+.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}*
    If like me, you also have a wildcard provisioning profile (I named mine general), you might use something like this:
    *+com.acme.general+.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}*
    This, of course, relies on you having created an App ID named +com.acme.general.*+. This is the profile I use to experiment with the Apple example apps.
    Hope this helps someone!

  • My Mid-2011 Macbook Air becomes extremely hot when installing apps from the Mac App Store and when deleting apps

    My Mid-2011 Macbook Air 13-inch (OSX 10.8.1 Mountain Lion) becomes hot to the touch when trying to delete large documents, watching videos after waking it from sleep-mode and when installing applications from the Mac App Store. This has also been happening with OSX Lion before I upgraded it to Mountain Lion.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    What needed to be done the day that you set up the new Mac was go into the Mac App Store (MAS), sign into your iTunes/MAS Apple ID, go to the Purchases pane and Accept the iLife apps that would have been there in a special section. That would have sent you Mac's unique identifier code to Apple's servers and verified that this Mac was eligible for the bundled iLife suite and then registered these apps into your MAS account.
    You might try going to  ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist, delete the adption plist, restart the Mac and then go to the Purchaes pane and see if you can Accept the apps into your account.

  • N81 "Memory full" when installing app

    Hi
    Using N81 (with 2GB external SD, not 8GB), I'm trying to install the last version of Whatsapp.
    I download the app, but when installing I get the "Memory full" error message. I've never experienced this issue.
    I've removed most of apps, but I'm still getting the message. What could I do? Thank you very much.

    Hi @bilbaow
    Try uninstalling the old version of WhatsApp, then re Install the new one. I suggest you copy the .sis file into you SD card, then install from there....
    Hope it helps.

  • Problem when installing app "tomtom europe"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install app "tomtom europe" on my iphone but I get the error "download failed - not enough memmory".
    But the sysmtem showns me 4.4 GB free memory and the Tomtom app requires something about 1,7 GB ???

    TomTom Europe is huge. Apps traditionally require between two and three times the publicised memory to get through the loading process. Even your 4.4GB might not be quite enough. Try temporarily dumping even more video/music/photos.

  • Error when installing apps from OVI Store on my x7...

    I have trouble installing apps from OVI recently. I pretty often get    ``Installation error``. Ive installed the software update today Its still the same.
    Any segestions ???

    I would suggest you try and update to the latest Ovi Store, now called Nokia Store.
    With your phone's browser go to the following address:
    http://lr.ovi.mobi/store/new-symbian-3
    you should then get the option to install the latest Nokia Store client, and this should include new QT files. Corrupt QT files are usually the problem when installations from the Nokia/Ovi Store fails.

    Hey guys! I have problem with my Nokia N8.

  • Problems when installing apps

    Since I installed Mountain Lion, I cannot install certain apps and I have configured my Imac to let install apps from everywhere in Gatekeeper. Is does not launch them and futhermore some of them keep bouncing in the dock but never launch.
    I have repaired permissions, reinstalled software and i do not know what else can I do.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Issues when installing apps

    I have issues when istalling apps that I purchased of free apps that end on *.sys. Can someone help me to determine? It downloads the app but when installing gives me an "installation error" message. I checked configurations and it should allow me to install any app on the phone. Any toughts? Any one that can help me, please? This is a Nokia N8.

    Hello,
    No this had never occured the same way in CS6, Other instances of this have occured with CS6 like not being able to open PSD's in AE. But nothing where the Dynmaic Link manager would stop working.
    I realize this issue is caused by my storgae setup becuase as I stated above, when I create a new win7 user and luanched the CC Apps( After Effects, Premirere Pro, Photoshop). they work fine. ( this is becuase the user profile for the user remains on the C: drive)
    Where as my main user for my machine differs, in that the user profile exists on my D: drive ( for sake of capacity )
    All of the Apps work fine with the new user and user profile on the C: drive, but this is not really an option for me as the SSD im using will not be able to store my large amount of user files ( documents, downloads, appdata, pictures, etc.. )
