Old Apps that don't work

Why are there still some Apps for sale in the App store that have not been updated in 2 years or more ??? And just don't work..

Hello golosport,
Do you mean the apps don't work? Or they don't work for iOS 6? There are still a lot of people out there that haven't updated their iOS or iPhones in the past two years either. Especially the old school crowd rockin' the iPhone 3G which can't update past iOS 4.2.1 and even the iPhone with an even older iOS. My thought is the developer of those app for which you speak have interest in keeping their client base with older iPhones. Just my thoughts.
Regards

I'm trying to delete some recently downloaded apps that don't work. They are faded grey and although they shake with the other apps, no cross appears in the top corner. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Sean

I have the same issue witha slight variation. The app icons that are grayed out and cannot be deleted are DUPLICATES of other apps that I already have. For instance I now have 2 Redbox apps - one works normally, the other cannot be opened or deleted.

I have a MBP 13" running 10.8, can I also install 10.6 to run apps that don't work with 10.8?

Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

Apps That Don't Work - Asphalt Racing

Thanks in advance for your help.....
I bought and downloaded the Asphalt Racing game from the App store last night and the game gets to the point of you selecting a car and then shuts off. I tried multiple times and also deleted and re-downloaded and still had the problem. Ho do you go about getting refunds for Apps that don't work or is that not a possibility right now?

Hey dgny06,
Is this the only app with an issue?
Try deleting the app from the iPhone and downloading it again.
You will not be charged for the second download.

I bought an APP that don't work

Hello... my name is Viviane. I'm from Brasil. I bought an app that does not work. I paid for this but not open im my ipad. Help me please. What can i do? His name is : a Betty Boop Cartoon vídeos,v1.1, USD 2,99. Thanks.

Two thoughts on this:
1. The iTunes Store indicates this app has not been updated since August, 2010. Such a period of stagnation is a big red flag (at least to me).
2. The iTunes Store also indicates the developer website, which is:

You should consider contacting them.

Conclusions about common apps that don't work or need modif?

There are lots of separate threads here about problems with various apps -- for just one tiny example, we need to install Flip4Mac Beta because last official release doesn't work. Many other examples. Question: Would one of you real expert contributors be able/willing to take a stab at listing all the commonly used apps that have 10.6 problems, and any solutions, in a single thread? I'm very interested in this information but going through all the huge number of multiple threads already compiled is really overwhelming.

Refunds for apps that don't work

There are no notes on an app that says it needs gps to work. I have purchased 2 apps recently for update on traffic conditions in the uk. I wrongly assumed they would use wi fi to retrieve information. An earlier app showing motorway cameras worked fine via wi fi. My ipad doesn't have gps how do I claim refunds

Is there any way to delete old bookmarks that don't work any more?

As a longtime Firefox user, I have a lot of bookmarks that are old and do not work any more. Is there as easy way to delete these bookmarks or do I really have to try a bookmark, see that it isn't working and then go back in and delete it?
Thanks for your help!

Old apps that don't run with Lion

I've just installed Lion in order to use iCloud, quite a few of my apps no longer run, I wondered if it is possible to Partition an external hard drive with the previous os along with my older apps so I can still use them?

Yes.
When you boot hold down the option key to get a list of bootable volumes. Navigate with the left/right arrows and press return when you highlight the desired boot volume.
Use the Startup Disk ssystem preferences to set which one you want to default to when you don't want to switch boot with the option key.

As already provided, if you don't have such in your iTunes library, on your computer, then there is no way to put it back on your phone. Apps are DRM protected, so even if you found a copy somewhere, you wouldn't be able to use it.

Why can't I use my old apps that I purchased on my ipad 1?

I don't understand why I can't use my old apps that "I" paid for. They all worked fine until I can no longer update my ipad. When you purchase software for your computer you can keep using it until your computer dies. Doesn't seem quite right that suddenly your apps are all gone and you can no longer use them.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I have the Ipad 1 which is sufficient for me with the Apps I "had" now each time I update and sync I have fewer and fewer apps that actually work. I think at least I should have the last updated version of the app.

Don't update....
Some of these apps may be fixed to be backward compatible. Until then you will lose apps if you allow updates on the computer and sync to iPad.

Report an app that doesn't work

Can someone please tell me how to report an app that doesn't work and get a refund?
The app won't allow feedback (as soon as you type anything the "Submit" button is disabled) and the link for its support goes to a web site that appears to be totally unrelated.
The "Report a problem" link on iTunes just takes me to the generic support page with a 1000 links to various forums etc. That's for nothing Apple.
I can provide more details but I don't even know if this is the right place yet.
Now maybe it's just me being a newbie with this whole Apps/iPad thing but it is NOT a user-friendly system IMO.

Express Lane is indeed how you contact the iTunes Store. The page I provided the link to is the one you reach when you click "Contact Support" in the sidebar.
Is there no simple way to immediately cancel an order if you realize in the first fifteen minutes that it is not working as expected?
There is no way to cancel an order at all, not within fifteen minutes, not within fifteen seconds. Once you click the "buy" button, you've purchased the item, and the Terms of Sale for the iTunes Store state clearly that "all sales are final". So if you are requesting a refund, you have to email the iTunes Store via the form you reach through Express Lane, explain the reasons for the request and hope that iTunes Store Customer Service will grant you an exception.
Regards.

In app purchases don't work on windows app

Hi,
I've just put my app online in the Windows Store. (Invader Magazine)
Everything works great, exept one thing. My in app purchases don't work. I think i've done everything right.
I followed exectly these steps:
- Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS publishing guide for Windows Store
- In my Dev windows account I've made an in app purchase for each folio
- I published my folio's wat the same product ID as V31 en set the status on public, retail.
I have done all these steps, but my app is empty, I see no folio.
I can only see the folio's when I publish them en set the status on public, free.
Am I missing something?

Hi,
In-app purchases on Windows work differently than on iOS. You shouldn't be making in-app purchase entries for each folio in your Windows Store listing.
See Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS publishing guide for Windows Store for complete details on how in-app purchasing is different on Windows, and how to set it up correctly in the store. Once you have your consumable in-app purchase entry created for your store listing you'll need to request an updated custom viewer that incorporates that Windows Store product ID, then resubmit the app to Windows for approval.
