IPhone requires complete reset every time I update Apps

I am about to pull my hair out! I am running the most current software on my iPhone 3G. I was replacing an older iPhone... so originally, I transferred all my old information over to my new phone. After about 3 complete resets, I decided maybe something was wrong with my info... so I started over with a new one.
I am not updating through the App Store on the phone (I've heard that can cause some problems). It seems like almost everytime I install an App update on my phone, when it syncs, it locks up completely. I have to hold down both buttons and do a complete restore. Any ideas about what may be causing this? I do have about 20 programs installed on it... but doesn't everybody?!
Maybe it's a hardware problem... I just don't know where to begin.

You are NOT alone. I have gotten to the point where I am just not going to install any apps until all of these issues are fixed - not just some of them (are you actually listening, Apple?) I have spent hours and hours of doing whatever I can to make this work and it's just not possible the way this 2.0 software performs. It's funny (but not) that a few days ago I decided I would just not sync/update/add/delete any apps. I figured that way, things might be somewhat okay. So I went on a flight for work and, of course, you have to shut your phone down during a flight. After the flight, I turn my phone back on again and every 3rd party app crashes immediately after launch and ALL of my music and videos are gone! What the?!
Ultimately, I had to still do the full restore. I tried an uninstall/reinstall with a couple of them but nothing worked except for the full restore. I've spent a lot of $$ on some great apps but I can't use them because of what the 2.0 software does. I know the developers are very frustrated as well. I think what's gotten me most upset, as well as others, is that Apple is NOT speaking to us and reassuring us about much, if anything. They seem to act like nothing's wrong, or that my problems are very rare - and minor. If they would just act like they care and go above and beyond to admit the full extent of the problems - and then say they are working on these specific issues - I would feel a whole lot better! They would definitely have more of my trust and respect (that has been badly damaged) if they would do that. If nothing else, I've spent a heck of a lot of money with them!
Are you even listening Apple?

HT1414 why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

Hi Cyprus11,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,
Jeremy

Guys, every time I download app on iPhone, i get message that "your user id has been disabled''

guys, every time I download app on iPhone, i get message that "your user id has been disabled'

That is exactly what happened to me! I wrote to Apple and they informed me that my account had been disabled because somebody had made a complaint that their credit card had been used to buy stuff on my account without their consent thus my account was disabled and it was a permanant thing. They suggested I set up a new Id, explained I could still use my apps but would not be able to update them. I wrote back to them explaining that there was no way I would have done such a thing, that I felt that I was being penalised over something I had not control over and I had bought my apps in good faith expecting to be able to update them as required. I also pointed out that a little while ago I found that my account had suddenly changed to a USA based one so that I had reset it and the password along with the credit card attached to it. I didn't really think much about it but now I wonder if I had been hacked.
I did get a very nice email back saying that they would investigate but having waited a few days I just got an email from a supervisor saying they had closed the account, there would be no further information given and I could look at their terms and conditions. I haven't been even been told what apps were supposedly bought through my account to see if there has been a genuine mix-up with credit cards through the banking system. I feel somewhat besmirched by the whole affair; I would never do anything illegal or misuse my account but despite being a loyal Apple customer who has promoted their products at every given opportunity, both professionally and socially, I have been summararily dismissed without being given the chance to defend myself or my reputation.

How can my ex on a separate plan with a separate apple id receive my iMessages every time an update or phone change happens?

Every time an update happens or we change phones my ex's iPhone and mine get linked somehow and he receives my messages. If we are no longer using the same apple id and are on separate phone plans how can this be happening? I have changed my password but this keeps happening. We do not share a computer for it to be iTunes? I have called and got it fixed, but it happens repeatedly anyway...any ideas?

Once our information was appearing under each other's iMessages so we went to the apple store and called the phone service and they said it was fixed, but it happened again. Their information is no longer under my iMessage; however, they are receiving my iMessages with every update and I am not able to know if my information is showing under theirs. Also I deleted every device on find my iPhone except my own.

Installer update method changes every time i update an adobe product!

hello, it is REALY anoying, that the user have to set/chose the update method e.g. "Notify me to install updates" EVERY TIME you update adobe products!!! Because Adobe Installer resets these settings every time, they offer a new product update (adobe flash or adobe reader e.g.).
I dont wont to "Allow Adobe to install updates"!!! I only want to be notified about new updates! So I have to read every time the options again to choose the right option.
Another alternative would be to me, not to install product updates, but I think this is not what adobe wants the user should chose.
Best Regards,
Tom

Every time I update LR to a new version I seem to need a patch to make it work..... once again here I am SOS! I've just update LR to the 5.7 version and It wont let me start it: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

Your system is missing a couple DLLs that LR needs, but the fix at Adobe is to copy them to the LR folder which gets replaced for each install, so you have to redo it after each LR install. It would be worth documenting the process and saving the DLLs so you don’t have to ask about it each time:

You might also use the AIO210 program to add them as detailed in this YouTube video—maybe this is a more permanent fix, but since the files are from media-fire be very careful about what you do so as not to install a virus on your computer.
I’d scan the downloaded ZIP you download with whatever virus and internet security software you have and don’t be fooled by extraneous popups you might see during the download process. I was able to download the aio210.zip after authorizing one Captcha window and closed at least one bogus popup trying to get me to install other software. I also scanned the downloaded zip with two virus scanners and both said it was clean. Here is the YouTube video, where the link to the ZIP to download is in the description once you expand it:

I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.

Check your firewall settings.

I'm using the most up to date software.
Thanks

Thanks for that, on the sync via iTunes, when my iphone is connected to iTunes via USB my photos tab says my iphone but I can never see any pics there. If I press Sync it still doesn't show anything.
Correction from my original post, it only comes up with PhotoStream on my computer when I'm connected via USB.

HT204306 starbucks app requires username/password every time. How can I tell my phone to remember my u/p?

Starbucks app requires username / password every time it is invoked.
Is there some way to tell the app to remember me?

Meg,
passcode was where you suggested.
But it says that passcode is to be invoked each time you invoke the starbucks app.
I do not wish to create another step. I wish to remove one (or two).
But thank you for calling that to my attention. I did not know it was there.

I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
