Repeat of January Upgrade Problems coming with new apps?

hey everyone,
i have been talking to a few of you about losing the january upgrade after an OS restore and an ipod restore, if you are unsure about this there are a few threads in this forum that talk about it. do you guys think that the same thing will happen when the new apps come out (fingers crossed). If we have to pay for them, will they be stored on our hard drives in a hidden file somewhere waiting to be wiped with an OS restore like the january upgrade?? what do you guys think??

The apps are easy to locate:
The file is located here:
Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
Once you have copied the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file to the computer with your home library, make a new folder named Mobile Applications in the correct location, and place the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file there. Open iTunes and sync your iPod touch.

    If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps. 
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Is any one tired of buying apple products to have them die or become obsolete in 1 to 3 years? I have 2 Ipod touch 5 nanos 1 pad out of all 3 are useable. Batteries die or you can't upgrade to use them with new apps. BIG WASTE OF MONEY.

    I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy

    I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5.  All still work just fine.
    You may be the exception.

  • Just tried to upgrade to SnowLeopard with new software. iLife failed to download and now the computer will not start up--grey screen with lines going round and round in a circle. What can I do to get it to start up?

    Just tried to upgrade to SnowLeopard with newly purchased software disc. iLife failed to download and when I tried to restart the computer, it will not do so--just get a grey screen with the lines going around and around. Any ideas about how to get it to start?

    Mac Pro - Mid 2010
    Processor  2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
    This is a brand new machine that I just purchased from Apple. It was delivered yesterday
    The old computer is an old PowerMac G5, but my OS X install disc is a retail version of 10.5.
    I also tried the OS X 10.5 install disc that came with my MacBook Pro (2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dual).
    Same issue - nothing but a grey screen when the system tries to boot from the DVD

  • New protector sleeve coming with new batch of nano's... can I get one too?

    I ordered my new nano in the mail and while it was in transit, I heard that the new nano's are being shipped with a protector sleeve. When I received mine, I dissappointingly found no protector sleeve coming with mine. Is it possible to get one for free at this poinnt?

    odds are no they will not, but thats speculation, and thats in violation of the terms of service.....
    if anyone wants one, then they should call Apple and ask if they can get one
    that is the bottom line

  • Recent problems occurring with new iPod Nanos as well?

    Are the recent problems associated with the iPod firmware version 1.2 occurring with brand new Nanos, or are they only occurring with Nanos that were running previous versions that have been updated to the new version? I've been considering buying a Nano, but may reconsider if the problems are happening with new ones as well.

    I bought a 2GB iPod nano over the weekend. It works great, as long as I don't try to put more than 215 songs on it. iTunes crashes and freezes my iPod every time I try to fill it up more than half way. Every crash requires a hard shut down on my mac and restoration of the iPod.

  • Problem scrolling with facebook app comments

    I just upgraded to the latest facebook app and i thank u for being able to like comments. However now I have a problem. When the comment is very long, I cannot scroll down and it goes to the next comment so i cannot see the bottom half of the comment outside the screen below. I tried to scroll but it keeps jumping to next comment so i cannot see. Can u pls help to rectify this bug or how do I solve it pls? Pls reply asap. Tks.

    Hi chawsi,
    Try adjusting your Trackpad sensitivity, reduce it to 50 or 60 and give a Battery pull Restart i;e. while device is Powered On remove the Battery wait for a min. then reinsert it back wait till the device Reboots. Perform this two Tricks then I don't think you will have problem in this matter.
    Good Luck

  • Cannot sync iPhone with new apps using iTunes

    My question is I am unable to sync my applications or even music or videos using iTunes, I use different computers to sync my iPhone, and one in particular but that particular system too has greyed out everything on me in iTunes and doesn't allow me to sync either songs videos, photots or applications.... and gives me a warning that I will loose all the existing apps or songs on my iPhone and whatever songs, apps..are present in the iTunes library would be added to my iPhone.
    I want to keep existing songs, apps.. and also the new apps and songs from this itunes can it be done.
    Thanks for helping

    The iPhone can sync iTunes content (music, videos, apps, photos, etc.) from one computer only. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer. However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.

  • IPad problem to access new apps

    I first tried the new iPad with an old email address, which I have since deleted and added the correect one. When I try to access new apps, I get everything in another language, and the only option is the old log in. How can I correct this?

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    For the language issue. Tap the Settings icon in your Home Screen. Under Settings tap General, then tap International, then Language.
    And for mail. Tap Settings on your Home Screen then tap Mail/Contacts & Calendars. If you e-mail account is not under Accounts on the right tap Add Account...

  • Peopletools 822 with newer app version

    we need to setup a new peopletools 822 environment
    but i am not sure if it can works with newer application version?for example HRMS9.0?I can't find any document that mention this situation
    thanks a lot

    The lowest Peopletools version supported within HRMS9 is 8.48, which is perfectly understandable because HRMS9 has been built on PT8.48.
    So, the answer to your question is no, find out more in the following matrix certification Peopletools/application :

  • Wanting to upgrade Sawtooth 400 with new hard drive and more memory

    Have been reading a lot of posts today on the above upgrades. Am quickly getting confused on all of the info, especially on the hard drive upgrades...
    Purchased my Sawtooth back in Dec. 2006 on eBay. Should have been using it all of this time, but my budget wouldn't allow me to put more memory (it's got 256MB now) and a new hard drive in it. Tired of seeing it in the way just sitting there!
    The G4 has OS X 10.3 on it. Would like to upgrade to Tiger. Is there a firmware update that needs to be done before upgrading to Tiger? I know that 256MB of memory really isn't enough for Tiger. I thought about getting at least a 512MB stick to make the total memory 768MB (wish I could afford to max the memory). Others have said that OWC and Crucial have good quality memory.
    The System Profile shows that it has 10 GB and 60GB hard drives. Imagine the 10GB one is the original. The 60GB was probably added on later. Don't know how old the 60GB is. That's one reason I'd like to replace it to at least a 120GB drive, so I can start fresh without worrying about the 60GB dying. (Do understand that any drive can die; new or old...) Have read about the 128GB size limit on my G4. Don't think I'd use most of the 120GB, so I'd like to stay with that size. Budget won't allow to install a PCI card to allow larger drives anyway. Should I remove the 10GB one as I don't think I'd be using it at all?
    I installed a Seagate 120GB Barracuda Ultra ATA/100, 7200RPM, 8MB Cache, 3.5" drive (new, got it on eBay for $40!) in my iMac G3 400. Would like to find the same kind of drive for the G4, if it would work. If the same drive would work in the G4, does anyone know where I could purchase one? Will look on eBay etc. in the meantime.
    Thanks for any advice and/or suggestions.

    Got the Seagate HD installed, PRAM battery replaced and missing PCI cover replaced. Sure wished that I had the extra memory to install now, but I haven't had the chance to order it yet. I know it's easy to do, but I'm going to have to move the Mac to the table and it's heavy for me to lift (bad back).
    Anyway, I started to install OS 9 on the Seagate and have hit a stumbling block! Didn't have this problem when I replaced the HD in my iMac, but it was only a 120GB drive (it needed the firmware updated).
    I've looked at other posts on installing OS 9 and even on Apple's support documents and can't find what I exactly need to do! Am getting more confused about it the more I try to find the right answers... Hope one of you can help me some more.
    I was able to boot the Mac up from the CD (it's the white one with the orange "9" on it). I clicked on the "Mac OS Install" icon, click on "Continue" (on the "Install Mac OS 9) dialog box, and then it says: A valid destination volume can't be found. To continue the installation process, mount a valid volume for software installation." The destination disk options is grayed out. I then clicked on the "Utilities" icon, and then the "Drive Setup" icon. It shows a list of drives and I clicked on the <not initialized> Type ATA, Bus 2, ID 0, LUN 0 and clicked on the "Initialize" button. Then it says: New Partitioning: 1 Mac OS, Initialization Options: None. If you click on Custome Setup, it says that the Partioning Scheme is "Current Volume," 131072MB (131GB?), under Volume Info Type it says Mac OS Standard. The "OK" button is grayed out. If you click on "1 Partition" on "Partitioning Scheme," then the Volume Info Type says "Mac OS Extended, with Size showing 131071MB. The "OK" button is not grayed out. I didn't go any farther with the OS 9 installation, as I don't know what the heck I'm doing! Don't want to mess something up. Do you or anyone who has helped me with this posting, know the steps I should take next? The Seagate Owner's Manual says if you have a system that can't read the entire 160GB, to just partition the drive for 137GB for now if you don't want to add a PCI controller card etc. For now, all I want to do is use the 128 or 131GB (according to what it says) of the 160GB drive without using a different card or software to recognize all of the 160GB. Do I just do one partition or two... and what else? I'm completely lost...
    Sorry for the long post, but had to write down the steps I took, so someone could tell me what to do next.
    I don't think you have to worry about PRAM settings; they pretty much take care of themselves - and regenerate when they have to. The time to think about PRAM is when you introduce new hardware and catch your Mac expecting same old, same old, and it isn't.
    It was kind of hard to get the old PRAM battery out of its holder. I pryed the right side retainer tab just a bit with a screwdriver to get it out. Noticed that one part of the retainer at the base was cracked! Hope I didn't do that! Put some super glue on the crack (was on the outside only from what I could see). Cleaned off the battery contacts with a pencil eraser and dry Q-tip before installing the new battery. It seems to stay in place even though with the side retainer cracked. If the side retainer would break off the next time the battery would need replacing, would the battery contacts hold it ok? Or would the whole logic board have to be replaced? I put a SAFT 3.6v LS14250 battery in it. The old one was a SAFT LS14250C. Hope the "C" at the end doesn't mean anything.

  • Most annoying Problem Ever With New itunes update

    I was updating itunes the other day to the latest version, once the update completed, i started to listening to music as you do, then the music stopped and itunes closed. ???? so i then installed it again once it wouldn't open and it wont install, when i install i am greeted by a message saying;
    "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to be completed could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor".
    When i ok this, the install backtracks then installs again then it says itunes has been successfully installed on your computer....tidy!
    But then when i try to open the program it tries to configure itunes the fails with the message "Fatal error 07" then even the shortcuts on the desktop fail.
    I have searched extensively everywhere and done everything, uninstalled ever aspect of anything apple, bonjour etc. cleaned registry, disk cleanups. and it still fails.
    If anyone has a solution to this problem i will be eternally grateful and you will be invited to my birthday party.
    P.S - even bonjour doesnt work aswel as quicktime.
    Thankyou, Chris

    I have to go now so I will run the next step by you if the last step worked do this....
    Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
    To set preferences using BatChmod is very easy...
    This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'command line in Terminal '
    drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
    check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
    then tick 'Apply ownership and priviledges'...'Unlock' & click Apply...
    provide password... all done very quick...
    Now check it out... see you later Matt good luck ... TP
