Should I update apps to ios 8 version on my iphone 4? For example: Facebook messenger does not open properly.

SShould I shut off all app updates from settings?

An iPhone 4 cannot be updated to iOS 8.
Apps that require iOS 8 won't run on an iPhone 4.
You should be able to use the Facebook Messenger app on iOS 7 >  Facebook Messenger on the App Store on iTunes
If the app won't open properly, reset the iPhone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try that app again.

    iPad2 sync is fine.

    This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
    The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

  • Unable to update apps in iOS 8.0.2 iPhone 5S

    I'm unable to update any apps on my iPhone 5S.
    Problem started after I updated to iOS version 8.0.0. Oddly, apps updated for a while, then stopped about 2 days ago.
    I upgraded to 8.0.2 hoping it would solve the problem. Still a problem.
    I receive notifications in the App Store that apps are ready for an update. I go into the App Store and click to "update" on individual apps or "update all". In both cases, the little blue square in a circle loads (looks like it's about to download the update), but no progress indicator shows that it's / they're downloading.
    Have rebooted. No help.
    Have signed out and back into the App Store. Didn't fix it.
    Turned off Family Sharing. Didn't fix it.
    I've attempted to update the apps using 3 different Wi-Fi networks, all of them with a strong signal. Have also tried while tethered to laptop via iTunes.
    Little help?

    hi, Brett - I'm having a problem now restarting my iPhone.
    iTunes (yep, it's the latest Windows version) keeps crashing ("iTunes has stopped working" message).
    The installed apps are blacked out with text beneath the icon "Waiting".
    And iTunes crashes on step 4 of 4 (Syncing Apps to John Alton iPhone 5S - step 5 of 5). Starts on the first app it tries to reinstall / sync.
    I am manually installing each application because I'm unable to bring back from syn. (On the iPhone, in App Store, go to Purchased > Not on this iPhone,
    But I'm still unable to run iTunes because it crashes while attempting to re-load the applications and data.
    Little help?
    thanks,
    John

    After 'updating' the newest iTunes version, I cannot sync my iPod Nano!  The 'old' version recognized and showed in icon to sync, but the newest version does not.  Is there a way to sync the older iPods?

  • When I pin my Yahoo mail to an app tab, it does not open properly on next startup. Gmail works fine.

    I really like the app tab feature, and am using it for those sites that I keep open when I am on line (my blogs, my emails, my websites, my calendar). My yahoo mail refuses to open from the app tab after closing the browser and opening it again. I keep myself logged in at yahoo, just as I do for my gmail account. GMail works perfectly every time, opening my inbox right away. Generally, I have to open Yahoo mail in a new tab, unpin the old one, try to re-pin the new one . . . ad infinitum . . . You get the picture? It might be a Yahoo issue, meaning I have to log in from yahoo home every time if I want it as an app tab.

  • App store for Mac hangs and does not open

    When I click on the app store icon on my desk top, it just bobs and never opens. However it is running in the background as my computer starts moving very slowly and hangs if I try to restart or shut down.
    How do I fix this?

    Hey guys,
    My app stores was actually working very well when I first downloaded the update. I actually bought 2 applications.
    It's now behaving as described above, bounces for a bit then I get "App Store quite unexpectedly"
    I initially installed the Combo update knowing it's virtues, I later reinstalled and repaired permissions, no luck. I even trashed the App Store and repeated the Combo install with a permission repair.
    If there is anything I can Suspect, it maybe Clean My Mac, I used the software once last week, but i don't recall a clear connection between it and the App Store behaving as such.
    further, I'd like to add that surprisingly the Dock icon is showing me a Badge with the number of software updates... strange.
    Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated!

  • HT1848 I synced my on my iPad 2 to my pc yesterday and now I can not open any of my apps on my iPad2, those purchased and those that are free.  All it does if I click on the app is flicker but does not open.  can anyone help?

    I was told I could sync my music on my pc with my ipad2 by an apple agent.  I hooked my ipad2 up to my pc and did so, but now I can not open any of my apps on my ipad2.  when I try it just flickers and does not open.  Can anyone help?

    On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
    Follow these steps to force an app to close:
    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice. 
    Tap and hold on the app. 
    When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on by one until all cleared
    Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
    Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again and see if this resolves the issue.

    Help, what is happening,does anybody know/can help.

    Same is happening to me, most internet related applications won't start.
    As far as I understand, this is related to the WebKit, which has been obviously changed in the latest Software update.
    Having said that, I would also appreciate if anybody could give some help on how to restore a working WebKit.

    Is this an iPhone or iPad question? You posted in the iPad forum.
    See
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
