IPhone Apps Won't Organize

So, my ability to organize apps in iTunes has suddenly ceased to exist. I spent way too long organizing 11 pages by category and then ease-of-reach; hit apply and walked away to get ready to go out while it was backing up/syncing. When I came back a few minutes later, the phone was miraculously DONE... but all the apps were back how they were before I organized them. This is the THIRD TIME it's happened, which means I've (ironically) lost about 3.5 hours (in total) trying to make my iPhone more efficient. I can't figure out why it would let me organize before -- and now I'm suddenly unable. Any thoughts??

Did you try to use less than 11 pages, maybe some apps don't fit and the sync process is canceled because of that.

IPhone apps won't update, iTunes Store won't open

I can't figure out why my apps won't update on my iPhone. I have rebooted, deleted the apps that wouldn't update and froze (waiting) and rebooted after that. I may not have the greatest wifi connection ... I am out of town and dependent on hotel/convention center wifi. Went to App Store to reload the deleted apps (some), but same thing. I saw a response regarding iTunes, went there...took forever for iTunes to open, it kept stating I couldn't access iTunes Store, and after hitting "okay" probably 4 times to confirm that iTunes wouldn't open...it did. So I thought that was the problem and returned back to App Store and tried to reload just one app. Well it's been an hour and a half or more, can't reload it. It creeps along and I thought the app was loaded, but no. I can reboot only, not reset because I am no in home like I said. This is more than "fairly frustrating". What the heck can I do?

Do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button together until apple logo appears.

Iphone apps won't open!

My iphone apps are not working after a recent update. The apps show up on phone but when I try to open the app the screen goes black and returns to the main screen. help!!

This fixed it:
I FIGURED IT OUT !
There's something going on with the latest version of iTunee.
This affects people with old and new version of firmware for iPhone 3G.
What happens... All your apps stop working because they are no longer authorized for use, after a syncing with iTunes.
The fix... Before doing a sync with iPhone, deselect all the applications. Sync (in effect, you're removing all applications from your iPhone). In iTunes, click Store / Authorize Computer, and enter your password. Don't worry, you won't use up any of your 5 alloted activations. Go back to applications and reselect all your applications. Sync. You're done and EVERYTHING WORKS !
I figured this out when i tried the delete / restore technique mentioned before. iTunes gave me a message saying my computer was not authorized to restore the applications. Huh? So in fact it's iTunes causing the headaches.

XCode iPhone Apps Won't Compile (or do much of anything really)

Ok so I've got the iPhone SDK installed and I'm just running through the iPhone Dev Center's little starter page, figured I'd start things off by running the MoveMe application. But no dice... I try to compile and XCode just sits there, usually with the progress stuck somewhere between 0% and 25%. No error messages, no status messages, nothin.
Well fine, so I try the Hello World sample project. Same story.
I try to compile a trusty old non-iPhone app. No problems here.
So I uninstall XCode and reinstall w/ the iPhone SDK. Same story, same situation.
I try moving files, making fresh projects, adding garbage code to the main function, but still absolutely nothing changes. I can compile just fine (and it will appropriately complain when I have garbage code in) but if I try to BUILD it just sits there.
An image of my frustration here... this is exactly what I see when I try to compile. And nothing MOVES.
Anyone have any insight into this? I'm still pretty green at XCode, so I'm not even sure where to start looking.

I also have the same issues. I've tried running the sample projects from the iphone developer site with no luck (tried with an ipod touch, with the simulator and no luck in either case :/)
What I have noticed is that it initially hangs on copying one of the assets (a png file in hello world). If I stop it and then try to build after, it hangs on trying to compile the xib file.

IPhone Apps won't sync to iTunes.

I need all my apps to sync to my iTunes for a complete backup. All the new apps I've purchased on my phone in the last few months do not show up on the apps tab in iTunes. I've hit the Sync button as well as Transfer Purchases. Each time the apps are said to be "copying" in iTunes but never actually transfer or appear in the apps tab. They're in the preview on the right, just not in the list on the left.
Sync Apps is checked, as well as Automatically Sync New Apps
I had the same trouble with the iPhone 3GS and had to re-download all my purchased apps when I upgraded to iPhone 4 because the backup I used to startup the 4 seemed to be incomplete.
It's as if iTunes won't update the backup file. It's stuck on a backup from a year or so ago.
Any ideas?

I'm also having this issue. There is no media folder with any apps files in my iTunes folder on my PC and so i can see all the apps in my library but they are all gray and have a "!" next to the app name because iTunes (nor myself) can't locate them.

Got replacement iPhone - apps won't transfer

My old iPhone broke so I sent it away to be fixed. They send me a new one with a new IMEI and Serial Number. I transfered all the apps but some apps that I paid for won't work sending me to App Store to buy the full version. I autorized the computer but still unable to transfer the app and I don't have the old phone to 'transfer purchases' from the old one to iTunes and then to my new iPhone. Also, when I go into App stores and updates it is divided into two - all and not on this phone.
Please help.
Thank you,
A.

I guess if you re-buy the ones you paid for iTunes will recognize that you already paid for them and let you download them for free.

My iphone apps won't open and I did try go on my App and it won't also open....

I can't open any apps on my iphone just normal text....even I can't go to my App and try 'Update'...

Charge it for 15 minutes with the wall adapter. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple ID appears. See: What to do if your iPhone or iPad will not turn on

My iPhone Apps won't open. They just "blink" when I click on them. Why?

What can I do to correct this? Thanks for the help!

I tried turning it off & on twice and that didn't work, but your suggestion to upload another app did it! Thanks VERY much! You just saved me a trip to the Apple store and a wasted hour! Thanks!

What happens when the iphone app won't open on iphone 4?

what happens when the phone does not open and automatically shuts down the phone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Ipad won't automatically download iphone apps

I have an iphone and an ipad. Both sync with the same computer (an Imac). I usually use my iphone to download apps while the ipad is powered off. I want tthe iphone apps to automatically download to the ipad when the ipad is connected to my home wifi network (Apple Extreme)
I have many iphone apps in itunes (on the computer) that will not sync or download automatically using the wifi.
The apps are stored on the icloud, but they won't download automatically to the ipad either.
I see the apps in the "Purchased" section of the Itune Store app. They are "Iphone apps not on my ipad". I have to select them one by one which is a pain.
The ipad will not sync the same apps to the ipad when it is synced to my home computer.
Is there a way to download or sync all those iphone apps automatically?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

You can turn on automatic downloads 'on' on the iPad in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6). And/or when connected to your computer with the iPad selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Apps tab under the list of apps there should be a tickbox for automatically syncing new apps - if that is ticked then each time you connect the iPad to your computer it should install any new apps that are on your computer.
