Please HELP! I am Losing Apps systematically!!

This is a bit strange. I have used Macs in one form or another for the last 15 years. I am familiar with them. I have never encountered this problem...or heard of it.
1) About a month ago Safari randomly stopped working. By that, I mean when I try to launch it, it bounces once in the doc and then quits. No error message, nothing. I tried reinstalling safari, nothing. No big deal though because I mainly use Firefox. I forgot about it.
2) Fast forward one month. I take delivery of my new iPhone. I sync it via iTunes and all is well. Several hours later, I went to sync more music to the iPhone and when I plugged it in, iTunes quit with an error "l;askdjfl;4eur03w9u8r" or something like that.;) Anyways, no big deal. I try to relaunch iTunes, but it won't open, just like the safari problem.
3) BAM! My apple Mail quits unexpectedly too. Same problem. Won't open. Okay.
4) I download a fresh copy of iTunes. I double click the package to launch the installer. Lo and behold, my installer bounces once in the dock and quits. No error, nothing. I can't install anything!
What is happening with my computer?? I tried a disk repair, deleting old .plist files, and those usual tricks aren't helping. All of my music is fine. It will play via quicktime, so, I haven't lost that...yet.
What are my options? What is the cause of this problem? And, how the heck do I fix it? I have had to use iTunes on my Compaq laptop and that just isn't acceptable.
Thanks in advance...

An archive and install was the only option I had left. Everything seems to be in working order for now.

Help.

Then the next step would be to restore your phone. My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

Please help me transfer purchased apps from my current ios6 to new ios7 program.

Please help me transfer purchased apps from my current ios6 to new ios7 program.

There is no need to transfer anything.
Update the device via iTunes or Over the Air... no content on the device should be affected.
If the device is used as designed and regularly backed up to iCloud or iTunes on the computer, should anything go wrong it can be restored.

I am going to own an iPod touch and its a dream come true for me to own an Apple product. Please help me what all Apps i can have in my 8GB touch.

Please help me in what all i can do with 8GB variant of iPod touch.
And welcome me to Apple family

I would recommend you to have free Apple apps such as Airport Utility, Find my Friends etc. Jetpack Joyride is a free game which has really hit the app store. Other then these I recommend Google Translate, Downloads, iDownloader and some other utilities like these. All the best wishes for you and hope you may be happy with your wonderful iTouch (I own one too!)

Please help me with my app store problem! :(

My mom some how got rid of my app store app, can someone please tell me how I can get it back? Please help.

Yes, Restore. That is your only option. It will erase all of your data, but you can back it up on your computer before and once it's done restoring, resore it from a backup and everything will be just how it was. Just without restrictions. Just dont tell her...

Please Help : Cant Run Downloaded Apps

Hi, I have a new 16gb Iphone bought yesterday in Australia.
After setup I went to the app store and tried to download two free apps. They downloaded and installed ok.
Problem: When I try to run them the apps start to run but then abort back to the home screen and wont run.
I have tried restoring factory defaults via Itunes but that didnt seem to fix it.
Apps that come with the Iphone work.
I went to the store I bought it from and they dont know whats wrong and offered to get it repaired but I dont want to be without my Iphone. Im not sure if it is actually broken anyway.
Please help, Im desperate

The I Phone apps do work, but not if you have the latest software, if we can find a way of reverting it back a version everything will be o.k. The I Phone is not a great phone (very basic for texting and phone calls, you can't forward on messages or create contact groups etc...) but as an internet music video player it's o.k.
Hopefully with more updates it will improve in speed and functionality, you could take it back until that happens!?

Please help i cannot get app store open and this is second day, help????!!!!

Please can someone help me with this problem.
Very confused why no one in discussion or apple will advise me.
I missed Nelson Mandelas tribute yesterday because I could not access the app I needed and today I see a big photo of him on the site.

Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. This is a user to user support forum and the poor behavior that you have exhibited here has caused the ASC forum hosts to remove most of your rants and sarcastic comments about Apple.
If you wish to have someone help you with the issue, then you need to behave and carefully explain what you are encountering when you try to access the iTunes App Store with the iTunes app on a Mac or PC or the App Store app on an iOS device. Please include any alerts that pop up when you try to make your purchase.

Can Someone Please Help With A Java App.

A while back, I had a program that I was working on, while taking Java in a Web Design & Development course -- this was back in 1999 -- not having the mindset of a programmer I failed that part of the course misrably. I had to do the following program, but you can see why I failed, I only managed to write to lines of code. I am wondering if there is anyone who can write it to the following criteria, maybe even make it graphical...I am hoping to try and write an XML backend to it like I wanted to do in 1999; unfortunately I lost the code that someone was nice enought to supply after I failed that part of the 6 month course...so if anyone can help please let me know. I want to try learning Java again, but it would be cool to see the following in working order again. If you're wondering why I still have the following, I just found it again while going through my Experts Exchange postings.
import java.awt.*;
public class CourseMarks extends Applet {
Of course I think this is wrong, but here is what I need done:
Define a class (data structure) to represent the people taking a course. For each person, you should record their name, their mid-term mark, their final mark, and any other information you think is relevant (hint: how do you find all the people in the class?)
A) The Applet/Program must be called CourseMarks
B) Write the class in Java
C) Create a variable called courseList to record students of a specific course, then write code to initialise it with information about three students.
D) Letter grades are to be awarded to the people taking the course, and you have to write a method to translate the final mark to a letter grade for each person. Letter grades are awarded as follows: 0-49.99 = F, 50-59.99 = E, 60-69.99 = D, 70-79.99 = C, 80-89.99 = B, 90-94.99 = A, 95 and up = A+. Write a method in Java and show how you would invoke it on courseList
E) Write a method to compute the class average for the mid-term mark (hint: follow your links), and show how you would invoke it on courseList.

Please help with Ipad calendar app

Everyday when I open my calendar app in day view, it always show the last date when I view the calendar. It does not automatically switch to Today's date. In other words, if I open the calendar yesterday dec 24, when I open this morning dec 25 the day view still show Dec 24. The icon did change to 25 and Dec 25 is marked blue which means it knows that today is 25. However the day view still show 24. Can anyone please tell me what do I need to do to make the day view automatically update to whatever today's date is? Should I returned my IPad?

Frustrated with OracleMembershipProvider - Please help I'm losing hair!

I've been trying to setup the membership provider on my local machine and have only succeeded in losing sleep and hair. Here is what I have done so far:
1. Installed Oracle 10g XE database
2. Created schema with full DBA rights
3. Installed Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.5.10 Beta
4. Successfully ran ODAC sql scripts (aspnetcommon and membership)
4. Added XE schema credentials to connection string "OraAspNetConString" in machine.config
5. Added Oracle membership provider to web.config as default
6. Added Oracle.Web.dll assembly to project
Now for the problem:
I run the ASP.Net Configuration and select the 'Provider' tab.
When I choose 'Select a single provider for all site management data', only AspNetSqlProvider is shown. Where is the Oracle Provider??
When I choose 'Select a different provider for each feature (advanced)', I see the Oracle Provider for Membership and Roles. I select both then try to enter 'Security' tab. It will hang then come back with this error:
"There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. "
What am I doing wrong?? I've searched this forum and can't find the answer.

Suggestions:
1. check your machine.config. If OracleMembershipProvider and OracleRoleProvider were not added into the entry, I recommend that reinstall Oracle Providers for ASP.NET. If all files are already copied to your system and you don't want to reinstall, you may use the OraProvCfg.exe (under your ...client_1\ASP.NET\BIN\2.x) to update your machine.config for these two providers.
2. copy sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora from your 10g XE installation to your 11g ODAC 11.1.0.5.10 Beta installation in the same Network\Admin location. Please search this forum for the details. You may also want to check your system environment variable TNS_ADMIN. If it's there, rename or delete it. Follow the instructions in this forum about how to check your connection.
3. if you had a successful installation, you should be able to use .NET Framework 2.0 gacutil.exe to check the assembly is listed. (Don't use 1.x gacutil.exe to check as it won't "see" it.)
gacutil /l oracle.web
4. in your application configuration file (web.config), try the second web.config example in the doc which customizes the attribute values. You may put the two sections from OracleMembershipProvider and OracleRoleProvider samples together within the <system.web> </system.web> section.
You may set the values same as your machine.config if you want to use default values. Don't forget to change the connection string on the top of the web.config.

If your old iPad was capable of receiving data on the go, without wifi, then you have a SIM installed. Best to check anyway. You need either the tool supplied in the box, or the end of a paper clip to open the tray
