New York Times app freezes my iPhone

I'll scan the headlines and poke an article to read and, about a minute or two in, the downloading whirly starts whirling and my iPhone 3G is dead as a brick, often for as much as 3 to 5 minutes. I can do nothing (except click the power button to blank out the screen, but then I can't get it to wake up again). Once it's done whirling, the app closes without warning and I'm back at my main menu screen.
This happens regardless of whether I am linked to my home wireless router or if I'm on the network (Edge in my neighborhood). It's been happening through at least one update of NYT AND iPhone firmware.
I'm not alone in this. My wife has my old iPhone and it happens to her. Also, here's a rather poignant qvetch about it online:

I used the NY Times app when released, and I experienced the same too often. NY Times released an update, which helped somewhat but not enough for me, so I deleted it. NY Times has not released an update for their app in a very long time.
Such a problem is the responsibility of the NY Times They created the app, or a 3rd party did this for them, and they need an update to address their very slow update download issues at minimum - I don't use any other news apps that take so long to download updates as the NY Times app does, or did for me. I uninstalled what I consider a garbage app compared to other similar apps.

New York Times app is very slow and halting

Every morning, when I open up the New York Times app (on my 4h generation iPod Touch), it takes forever to open and forever to update. Within each individual screen, it takes a long time to switch articles and often freezes for 5-10 seconds at a time, while it's downloading or updating. Anyone else have this problem or any advice? I suppose I could just delete it and reinstall it for starters.
Thanks.

Mark,
Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Your iPod may be short on memory and rebooting your iPod may free some of it up.

Have gray screen and unresponsive iBooks 2 program upon downloading Wilson textbook on life. No way to turn pages. When using new York times app it shuts down and goes to home screens.

Loaded iBooks 2, downloaded e.o. Wilson textbook on life. Opened book and only get gray screen without any way to turn pages. As top menu does not appear cannot even switch to another book. This occurred on 3rd time of trying to open book, First two times would result in iPad switching back to home screen. This last issue also happens when trying to open new york times app.

Shut down all programs that are running in the background.
1. Double-click the Home button to see Apps in background
2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minu sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close program
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo
Suggest you perform Step 1 to 3 at the end of every day.

Problems with New York Times App?

The app constantly shuts down or freezes requiring a shut down. Is their a fix or is this a known issue?

This is certainly an issue known to many users. What is unclear is whether the Publisher knows they have a problem. I read the times every day, but mnost days I have to force quite and restart a couple of times.

New York Times App problem

Greetings. A question with a limited focus I know...
Just curious if anyone else has had the same problem as me: While reading an article in the NYT app the app will suddenly quit and I'll find myself back at the home screen. Time from starting to read to this ocurring is variable but usually within a few minutes. It is very annoying!
Just curious if anyone else has had this issue and if so what they did to fix it?
cheers.

I've found the NYTimes app is just a hog, slow, unreliable, and I've deleted it. Instead, I point Safari to mobile.nytimes.com, which looks great, is very fast, and makes reading the Times on the iphone a pleasure. Give it a whirl and see what you think.

I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

Thats funny. If go to ny times on safari therebis a print icon and no problem printing. On the app -- and I am a paid subscriber -- no print option ...
You can ask the NY Times why not.
Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari. Apps are up to their author.

With the latest FF update I can't load the New York Times

I updated FF and Flash Player today and now I can't load the New York Times - all I get is a page with links. Other sites are loading OK. I've tried changing the security.mixed_content.block_active_content to false and that didn't help.
I've got FF 36:0 and I use Windows. Does anybody know whether this is a FF problem and if there's a solution?

How do I turn off automatic renewal of subscriptions eg to New York Times.

Hi,
I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English:
1) Go into the main menu
2) Select "Alerts"
3) select the Profile you like to adjust
4) Select App Alerts
5) Select Email
6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed
7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount)
Hope it helps
Alex

Reading TimesDigest pdf from New York Times

I get a daily email from the New York Times with an attached pdf file called TimesDigest. It's usually about 500KB in size. When I bring up the message in Mail on the iPhone and touch the pdf box at the bottom of the message the pdf opens but all I see is the TimesDigest title at the top of each page and a bunch of blank pages (9 in all). A couple of things are visible, however, the crossword layout and some formating bars, but the document is mostly blank. It reads fine when opened with Preview of Adobe Reader on my Mac.
Any suggestions on how to fix this on the iPhone?

It's looks like nothing more than an advert, which you have clicked upon. Probably for some unnecessary scare-ware. You can see the feint overlay that ads have in the bottom-left of the first screenshot.
Obviously the NYT doesn't vet the ads that are placed on its website which allows advertisers who use fake warnings and notifications to get people to click.

TS2784 I have set my iphone5 time settings to automatic New York time. Throughout the day the clock keeps changing times on its own by hours. Sometimes in is correct. Sometimes it is wrong.

I have set my iphone5 time settings to automatic at New York time. Throughout the day the date and time on the phone keeps changing on its own and often by a few hours. Sometimes it goes to the correct time. Sometimes it is way out. Is there something wrong with my settings?

This is a known issue with the iPhone 5. Turn off the automatic time setting for the time being. It will most likely be corrected in an upcoming update to iOS if the tech press is to be believed.

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.
