Some apps don't play anymore

we've downloaded & kept eighteen apps - the last today ... now I find some of the earlier ones, which used to work fine, don't play anymore - ie: tap them, the screen goes blank (dark or mostly white) for a second or two, then it's the home screen again ... we paid good money for some of them, too ... grrh !
Examples of the ones that don't play now are two expensive Ultralingua dictionaries (English & German-English) & Digital Clock ...
anyone know a cure, please - I daren't update the wife's iPhone if this is going to happen to hers, too ! ?
edit by CJH

thanks, I'll give it ago ... deleting them is easy, tapping the x of each app on the iPhone home screen, reinstalling them is less obvious - by disconnecting & reconnecting / sync'ing again, I've managed to re-install one app, but not the rest, yet ... I'll keep trying, various things !
PS: OK - I worked out how to do it (tap the crosses on the iPhone home screens to delete, then tick the appropriate boxes in the iTunes / iPhone / Applications listing to re-install) - not all that obvious / intuitive, until one's done it !
PPS: it worked !!

    No... do not move programs.
    About the iTunes library files
    Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

    How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5

    You can simply set your system preferences
    Sound preference
    output - to whatever your USB device/audio interface is
    Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.

  • Some app don´t run

    some app don´t run suddenly, any idea?

    What exact behaviors are you seeing when you attempt to open the apps? Do they bounce in the Dock at all, or only bounce once, or do you see any errors or warnings pop up?

  • After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected

    After installing "Java for OS X 2013-004" update, Java apps don't work anymore as expected.
    Windows of Swing apps don't display all GUI elements.
    After replacing System/Library/Java from a Time MAchine Backup, everything works normal again.
    Is this update corrupted?

    "avoid using Java in a web browser at all,..."
    Good advice.
    "...old Java apps/applets that aren't written to modern specs ..."
    The stand-alone Java Swing applications, that don't display their GUI elements after installing this update, have been written according to modern standards. With Oracle Java7, and with Java6 from Apple prior to this update, they run absolutely flawlessly.
    This is absolutely Apple's fault.

    Hi frisbo1312
    I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router.  Not sure where you live, but of you are in the UK, this might work for you.
    I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
    It worked for me.  If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
    There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
    Here's how you can fix it.
    Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
    - Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
    - Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
    You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
    Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
    Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
    And then click on "apply"
    - restart your computer.
    That should fix the issue.
    Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

  • After upgrade to os 4 some apps don't work including Apple Store

    Upgrade went ok, but took long time. Some apps don't work correctly or crash. e.g. Apple Store app just recycles back to main screen. Starbucks app works for a few seconds then crashes.

    I had same problems.
    I decided to "downgrade" back to OS3. You can too!

  • Some apps won't play sound through iPad2 speakers

    I've noticed since updating to iOS 5 and 5.0.1, I've got more apps that won't play sound through ipad2 speakers, but will play sound through earphones though.  Using the same app on the iphone plays sound through the iphone speakers as normal. 
    It seems to be picky with which apps it does this to as Sky News/BBCiplayer/YouTube/Video/ IMDb all play sound through ipad speakers. Apps like FilmOn plus/ FreeAppMagic/ Falling Gems/ Bejeweled2/ FNS Shift2 will only play sound through earphones.  These Apps updating to the new iOS doesn't fix the sound issue either.
    I can use an app that plays sound through iPad speakers, then use an app that doesn't play sound through the speakers, then use another app that does play sound through speakers, so the earphone connection actuator doesn't look like the problem to me.  Maybe some sound drivers may have been lost or deleted with new iOS updates over wifi...?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    See if perhaps this is the reason why some apps aren't playing sound.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

  • Some Apps don't work after an upgrade IOS to 6.1.1

    Description of the problem with my iPhone 4 after an upgrade from iOS 5.1 to 6.1.1:
    Some Apps try to start but stopped immidiatly.
    The issue for my case:
    Try to find your App trough the App Store on your iPhone.
            The status of this App should be open. (but when you try to open it, it won't !!!)
    Use the main button to go back to your App and delete it.
    Go back to Apps Store and reinstall your App.
    Check the progress of the installation.
    When the install is done open your App again and it should be working again.
    Best regards,
    Schotel

    Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • IPad 3 iOS 8.0.2 some apps don't work, everything slow

    IiPad touch updated to iOS 8.0.2. worse than any of the ios 7 updates.  It seems that lately ever update makes things worse.  My pad has never been so slow.  I now have some apps that don't work as they should.  iPad and AT&T have never been happy with each other but now freezes and just taking so long to access some websites and why go from one move to two to close a website.  Makes no sense to me.  Maybe I am just not used to it yet, but it takes about twice as long to close a web page.  My pad is 32 gig and I have 14.9 free. As far as a fix, I am about ready to throw this pad in the lake and go back to Microsof, something I never thought I would say.  I have an iMac and just retired my notebook. I am trying a dell with windows 8 As a replacemen. School is still out on that platform but it is better than this ipad. IF some one has similar problems and fixed, please let me know.

    Since the vast majority of iPad mini users are not having WiFi problems then, if you are having consistent WiFi problems on all networks, you very likely have a hardware problem with your iPad mini. This probably cannot be fixed by any iOS software update. The iOS 6.0.2 software fix likely was for a bug that only showed up with certain access points or network configurations. The only way to get your problem fixed is to get your iPad mini replaced by Apple. The fastest way to do this is via the Apple store but you can also arrange for replacement if you contact Apple support.

  • Multiple Apps don't play any sound, Sound stopped playing on audible

    Doodle Jump and my Audible Application don't play any sounds and I don't know why. Started happening after I donwloaded skype. I've since deleted the Skype app and it didn't make a difference. The phone rings, and the buttons click when I type, the mute toggle switch isn't flipped, text messages play the alerts I have set.
    My thoughts are it's the way the game handles sound output. Haven't tried to play anything on itunes yet to test if its only limited to the audible content playing through the audible app, and the game. Any suggestions?

    I'm encountering same problem with iPhone 4, specifically in Skype, Audible, but even iTunes is not outputting sound at times. Restarting iPhone helps. Not ideal though.

  • After 3.0 Upgrade, some songs don't play

    I recent upgraded my iPod Touch. Everything still works fine for the most part, except for one small detail -- some random songs don't play. It shows them as playing, it loads, and the tracking bar moves like it normally should, but there's no sound at all. I tried restarting the iPod and resyncing it to no avail. I'm going to attempt a restore here. As of now I can't find any connection between the random songs that will or won't play.
    What can I try to do to fix this? If I must I'll try to go back to an older version, though I'd like that to be my last resort.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, they worked in iTunes, I double checked that. In fact I found out because I tried playing some songs in my car and thought, hey, they worked fine on iTunes earlier today.
    However, I ended up restoring it back to default settings through iTunes and letting it sync everything back up again, and it worked. 0.o Which is odd, since only a few songs didn't work, and I didn't change anything, but meh, this is technology. If it works, don't ask questions, just accept it.
    Thank you!
