Sudden total failure of all apps that are synced!!!

After 6 glorious months of no problems, syncing my wonderful office iMac to my trusty old home G3...suddenly today...with no changes or upgrades or new installs...everything which is synced at home launches but will not fully install or show itself in finder. Safari/addressbook/ical...everything. Kaput.
entourage works fine. iDisc is fine. But every synced app fails to fully launch.
I can only see the app in "Force Quit." Restart does not fix. Re-syncing does not fix. Resetting all devices does not help.
So I go to work and all is normal there. I do backups and re-sync all to my iDisc (which is working without problem, btw)...come back home...re-sync. And still no fix.
I'm stumped.
Can anybody help?

Only if the application protects each user's account.

My screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are openfreezby double clicking on the home button and closing them. I have held down on the home button and start button simultaneously and it still freezes. Can someone out the help me?

MY screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are open and have held down the home button and start button simultaneously but neither helped. Can someone out there help me?

Well the next couple of things to try would be to reset all settings, and if that doesn't help, it's probably time to restore the iOS software.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. That will take all settings on the iPad back to factory defaults. It will not delete anything and you will not lose any data, but you will have to enter all settings again ...WiFi passwords, enable Siri, select your wallpaper, adjust brightness, turn on location services and set privacy settings, etc, etc.
You can read about restoring the software here.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
Should you decide to restore the iOS, it is extremely important that you back up first so that you can restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes afterward in order to restore all content back to the iPad. It is all covered in the kb article.
If you do not sync with iTunes, then I assume that you backup with iCloud. In that case you can erase the device in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Once again, backing up with I loud is I,operative before you do this so that you can restore from the iCloud backup after you erase the iPad and start over again with activation.
You should read this first before you restore from either backup.

After clearing cash on mac applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player with app cleaner and again download and instal new but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. Please advise me?!

After clearing cash on my mac ( Go to folder: ~/Library/Caches and clear all, than to Library/Cashes and clear all again) applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player, firefox.. with app cleaner and again download and install the new one but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. I have done this cash clean up very often on Maverick without any problems. This time I done it again because I could not open my web site, the server has blocked me and I was trying everything including deleting cash from mac. Please advise me what to do..?!? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Is there a app that will tell all apps that are running and possibly how much battery power they use?

Is there a app that will tell all apps that are running and possibly how much battery power they use?

You don't need an app to do this. Here's how you get the battery info. Go to Settings>More>Battery. This will show you all the active apps and their individual battery usage.

Application tab not active, cannot change apps that are syncing

Device: Iphone version 2.2.1 -- current software update installed. Laptop: HP with Itunes "software is up to date" running Windows XP. Have downloaded a dozen or so applications (games), and I can see them all in the Applications tab, but the tab is "grayed out" so I cannot scroll through the list, select and deselect apps or change syncing settings (from "all apps" to "checked apps" or vice versa). All other tabs work fine (podcasts, video, music, photos, etc...)... ideas? Have tried converting to manual, no help there.

I have the SAME PROBLEM CANT SELCT THE REQUIRED APPLICATION AND SYNC IT.. EVERYTHING IS LIKE A FREEZED PANE NO BUTTONS CAN BE CHECK OR UNCHECK.. ONLY TRUE FOR APPLICATION TAB..
REST ALL IS LIKE VIDOES MUSIC AL WORKING FINE..
CAN SOMEBODY HELP..

Can the Mail app mark POP server emails as "read" on all devices that are synced with it after the email has been viewed?

I currently have my work email on my laptop, mac mini, and a couple mobile devices. Is there a way to have all devices get marked as "read" when I view it from one device? It uses a POP server account.

No there isn't.
It's one reason that IMAP accounts are much better suited for use on multiple devices. Does you work only offer POP? I ask becuase, I once had a job where I had the ability to set up mail using either POP or IMAP..

How do i delete apps on itunes ??? i went to the library and it only shows a few apps that i have. But when i go into my account i can see all of the apps i have downloaded. soooo how do i delete the apps that are only showing in my account?

How do I delete an app on iTunes? I can delete the apps that are shown in the library of iTunes by right clicking and hitting "delete". But all of my apps aren't shown in the library (I don't understand that either). I can see all downloaded apps in my account though. But I don't see how to delete them from there.

If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

If you want both iPad to be identical .....
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases.
After it finishes transferring all your apps to the Mac, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
Sync the iPad and eject it when it is complete.
Quit iTunes
Connect the second iPad.
Launch iTunes
Right click on the iPad name on the left side and select - Restore from Backup
Select the backup of the first iPad and let it restore from that backup.
When it finishes restoring - sync with iTunes to transfer all of the apps and any other content that you want onto that iPad
Eject the iPad when you are done.
Check the second iPad and if all of the content did not sync as you wanted - or you want to remove some of the content - connect it again and then choose the content that you want - uncheck what you do not want - and click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

How do I close all the apps that are still open?

How do I close all the apps that are still open?

You don't need to.
The "task bar" that Demo mentions above is not, in fact, a task bar at all - it is the Recently Used Apps list. Not all of the apps in this list are open, running or in memory.
iOS automatically handles closing apps that are not in use, so you don't have to manually manage them.

If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

Syncing music/videos/apps that are already on my ipod touch

Whenever I sync my ipod with iTunes on my mac, any songs, videos, or apps that are different in any way whatsoever or automatically resynced to my ipod. This is fine for apps, as the only way this would happen is if there is in app update. However, for songs and videos, when the only change is the number of plays (the song has been played on my mac or my ipod since the last sync), iTunes copies all of those songs and videos again, even though they are already on the ipod. Perhaps it's not really copying, but rather syncing the number of plays, but it takes just as long. And after all that is finally done, it syncs the genius data for all 5000+ songs on my ipod. This is another 20-30 minute process. The genius playlists are nice and all, but they're not that nice. This has been bothering my for some time. Is there something wrong here, or is there a way to turn off this functionality? I know you can turn off the genius option.
My ipod touch is a 3rd gen and I'm syncing via USB 2.0, not wifi.
Thanks for the help.

connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

How do you remove non-App Store apps that are not in Applications from Launchpad?

Hi, this is my first post to the Apple forums...
     So, I use the Steam game app a lot to manage my different games on my computer. Recently, I cleaned out the games I no longer wanted or had lost interest in, and all of their files, INCLUDING the .app files stored in Application Support, were successfully deleted. But, Steam also automatically adds app shortcuts to the Launchpad when you download a game, which is an option I always left checked during the download process- because why not, right?
     The problem is that now, even after completely deleting ALL TRACE of these apps, they remain on my Launchpad. Just keeping them there isn't a solution; as a very neat, organized person, it would annoy me to the end of time to have random apps on my Launchpad that don't do anything. And since these apps aren't from the App store, they don't have an (X) in the upper left hand corner when you hold down on them.
     I don't know tons about Macs, but after a quick scan of things online people have recommended deleting all the files for your Dock under Application Support, because apparently Launchpad is based on your dock. But that doesn't sound right to me. I thought Launchpad was based on Applications? Again, I'm more savvy with Windows but I just got this thing a year ago so I'm doing what I can.
     On a side note, these game applications were stored in a folder titled "Games", which was originally identical within both Applications and Launchpad. Once I began deleting apps from the folder in Applications, however, they got stuck in the folder within Launchpad.
     I also cannot move Game Center out of the folder in Launchpad, and when I do so it says "This app cannot be modified/deleted", even though I originally had Game Center outside of the folder.
Computer specs:
MacBook Pro 15 Inch (mid 2009)
Running OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) [I updated just last night, I had been running 10.9 before and still had this problem]
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB

I found the following in the Macbook Help, and the last bullet worked for me.
"You can uninstall apps you got from the Mac App Store, from other websites, or from discs. You can’t uninstall apps that are part of OS X, such as Safari and Mail.
Apps downloaded from the Mac App Store: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, hold down an app’s icon until all the icons begin to jiggle, then click an app’s delete button . If you later want the app, you can reinstall it from the Mac App Store.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, it can’t be uninstalled in Launchpad. For more information about Launchpad, see Use Launchpad to view and open apps.
Apps that have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. If an app is inside a folder, it might have an Uninstaller. Open the app’s folder. If you see Uninstall [App] or [App] Uninstaller, double-click it and follow the onscreen instructions.
Apps that don’t have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. Drag the app from the Applications folder to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, then choose File > Put Back.WARNING: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your Mac. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them."

IOS 7 doesn't work on iPod touch 4g, so does the mean its the end for this device? Or are they going to make updates specially for lower devices an apps that are compatible ??

iOS 7 doesn't work on iPod touch 4g, so does the mean its the end for this device? Or are they going to make updates specially for lower devices an apps that are compatible ??

Which apps remain compatible will be up to the individual developers who sell those apps. There will be no further iOS updates, but those aren't really necessary to continue to use and enjoy your device. I still have an iPad 1 running on iOS 5, and it is fully functional.
The App Store has an app called VintApps 3.1.1 that is specifically geared toward iOS 3.1, however, you would probably be able to run most of those apps on your iPod, and considering that there will be a rather large market for iOS 6 apps users, it is not likely that you will see a significant reduction in choices any time soon.
It is not the end for the device in any sense except that it is at it's ultimate iOS level. And again, I have an iPad that is at it's ultimate iOS level (iOS 5), and I get new apps all the time that work for both my iPad and my iPhone that runs iOS 6.1.1
No need to fret....
Cheers,

HT4623 How do I close apps that are running in the background. If you double click button you used to be able to press and hold for the "x" to come up to allow you to close, but now I can't .

How do I close apps that are running in the background. You used to double press the button, and then press and hold to allow the "x" to come up, so you could close them down.

Close all apps in multi-task window
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen
