Large number of apps not working on manual proxy

Recently my school installed a proxy which means when we connect to the wifi using iphone, ipod, pc etc. we must connect through the proxy. To connect to the proxy on my ipod touch it requires me to use the manual settings and turn authentication on and the issue is that the majority of my apps which require internet like for example clash of clans does not work where some apps such as the met office weather app and instagram work fine, in addition safari and the app store appear to be working fine. I have done a large search all over the internet and it appears this has been an issue since 2008 which is ridiculous
So please has anyone got an ideas of how to fix this?
Just to note no-ones iphone 4s or iphone 5, neither does anyones ipod touch 1gen, 2gen, 3gen or the most recent ipod touch, neither does anyones ipad or ipad mini so this is not just me and before anyone says it is not a problem with the school proxy it IS a problem on the ios or something along those lines

I also first thought that but there are website such as bbc iplayer and facebook which are not blocked but the apps do not work, and it is basically all the third party apps that do not work, apple apps seem to work fine however. And as I said I am not the only one who as posted on here with pretty much the same issue and some of them are not through proxies which have blockings. In addition people with accounts at my school which have no site restrictions, their apps still don't work either

  • Mail.app not working behind Kerio proxy

    I've configured my PB to login to our wireless network at work. I've set up the proxy configurations correctly (including username & pass) & tested to make sure Safari works, it's fine. Yet when I try to check my POP mail (Gmail), I get the following message:
    The server "pop.gmail.com" cannot be contacted on port 995.
    At my own wireless home network, it works just fine & I don't use a proxy server.
    It seems to me that Mail.app isn't configured to pick up on the system proxy settings?
    How can I fix this problem? Please help.

  • IPod Touch apps not working through proxy

    Prior to upgrading to the latest iPod Touch software, most of my apps worked through the proxy while on the wireless network at my business. Now, only Safari and few select apps seem to work.
    Any ideas?

    Hello All!
    I think most of the problems you see are not realy issues caused by the proxy but the OS of the IPod.
    I've had some Problems using Apps at Work using manual configured proxy settings.
    Just a short story:
    Usind OS 2.x Mail syncing Exchange worked prefect. Safari and Appstore too.
    Youtube wasn't working cause Ipod first asked DNS Server for IP-Address of an Apple Server (I call IPod Proxy) and our DNS Servers are not allowed to resolve such Names.
    Then I upgraded to OS 3.x. Same manual Proxy settings resulted in Mail syncing Exchange wasn't working.
    Sniffed the Network for the traffic the IPod was sending an saw the following:
    IPod asked DNS for proxy Server IP address, got answer.
    IPod asked Proxy for URL to Exchange-Server and Proxy denied the request cause the Firewall denies Proxy (in DMZ) to connect to internal Servers.
    Then I looked for exclusion list (don't use Proxy for domains ...) and found noting. So this feature isn't there!?
    Then I switched from manual Proxy configuration to Automatic and created a proxy.pac file which url I gave the IPod
    In the Proxy.pac file I used the "FindProxyForUrl" function to determine if the URL contains our local Domain or not. So if the URL contains our local Domain then the script returns to go direct with no proxy. Otherwise the script returns the name and port of the proxy
    Here is the Script I use. This makes Mail (and maybe other Apps) working
    function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
    if (isPlainHostName(host)) {
    return "DIRECT";
    else if (shExpMatch(host,"*.our-local-domain.com")) {
    return "DIRECT";
    else {
    return "PROXY Proxy-Server:port";
    Never the less: I did not make Youtube app working with our Proxy (Squid proxy on Windows). When I'm using Microsoft ISA Server 2006 to connect to the Internet then I can at least search for Videos in the Youtube App (after Changing settings of our DNS Servers to resolve external Names) but I cannot play them cause the Video player in the IPod obivously doesn't care about Proxy settings (Sniffing the Network shows IPod trying to connect directly to Youtube/Google Servers and here is the Firewall saying NO"
    So maybe problems using Apps with a configured Proxy could be because Apple does not have a "Don't use Proxy for" configuration. Youtube (and all other Apps using Video Player to play Video) do not work cause the Video Player does not care about Proxies (so many Video Players )
    Perhaps someone at the Apple Support reads this and cares about

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

  • Office Web Apps 2013 - Word app not working on Sharepoint 2013 but Excel does

    Hi there!
    We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.
    We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.
    We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:
    * Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
    * Installed the november update
    * Restarted OWA server
    * ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURL
    https://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp  -EditingEnabled
    * Restart-Service WACSM
    - checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate
    Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:
    * Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
    * New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
    * Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”
    Now here are the funny things:
    * Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
    * Word APP not working (screenshot)
    * Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
    * status of OWA is healthy

    Hi,
    The Friendly name field must be unique within the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store.  In -CertificateName, enter the friendly name you gave your
    certificate earlier.
    Validate the configuration by navigating to the discovery URL of the Office Web Apps server.  Like
    https://xxx/hosting/discovery
    Meanwhile, the issue is related to Lync, I recommend to you to post the question on Lync Server for further discussion via the link below.

    you mentioned that Terminal does not work at all for your MacBook Pro. What currently happens when you run Terminal? In what way does it not work?

  • Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

    Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
    It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
    I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
    What do I do?
    iPad 2 latest OS.

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • Java apps not working right

    I lately have found problems with Java apps not working correctly. For example, in Yahoo Widgets I cannot get any widget preferences to display; in Apple's Java Preferences for J2SE 5.0 the preference window opens but is blank; and in JBidwatcher the buttons are missing in main and preference windows.
    When I log in as another user I find all those apps work properly, so it seems to be something wrong within my User folder. I tried reinstalling the Java J2SE50ReIease4 but it didn't help. Is there something I can delete and/or reinstall to fix this problem?

    Ditto here,
    I made the mistake of thinking I could throw away the preferences in the Java folder and new pref's would automatically replace the missing pref's, much to my surprise no such thing happened. My settup is the same as yours, except my OS is 10.4.8.
    Someone please help.

  • Skype number is suddenly not working for me and my...

    Skype number is suddenly not working for me and my colleagues to RECEIVE outside calls.  Any ideas?
    When I try to call my skype from my cell, it doesnt ring on either end.  It appears connected on the cell phone since the counter clock for the call is increasing, but it doesnt ring or connect.
    This is the same for me and at least 2 of my colleagues.  It was working all day, till suddenly it did not.
    When outside people call, it just gives us a missed call or voicemail email, but does not show a missed call on our skype.
    When I call an outside number from skype, it connects.
    Thanks for any help ASAP!

    I think this might have been happening to me earlier.  If you wait like 30 seconds when you called a machine said "All circuits are busy. da da da".  I was looking for an answer and google only brought stuff from like 2010.  It's working now after an hour or so.
    Sucks cause I use skype for work and was desperate to find a quick reponse but couldn't.
