Third Party App Updates....

I was wondering if it was possible or if there was anything like Apple Software Update for third party apps. By this I mean is there a way to get all the third party installed software such as Tweetie, VLC, Quicken, iHomework, etc. to all check for updates at the same time like Software Update does for Apple apps. If there is not a way to do this is there a way to get the apps to auto-check every day or hour?

That link was for Windows OS. Also, that site didn't have Snow Leopard, and that is not a universal update thing like the Apple Software Update by using the Apple Logo button on the Mac OS X Menu Bar, that was just a site that tells each update for apps. I was talking about something that will search for all updates from my desktop just like Software Update from the menu bar.

I purchased my iMac using the same (and only) Apple ID I use to purchase apps. Third-party apps update fine, but the apps that came with my iMac (iPhoto, iMovie, etc) bring up a message saying I have to log in with the account I used to purchase them.

I used my only Apple ID to purchase my iMac (Intel-based one). I've never been able to update core apps that came with it. I can update third party apps I've bought (like Coda), but when I try to update Garage Band, iPhoto, iMovie and so on, a popup message appears saying "You have updates available for other accounts" and "Log in with the account you used to purchase this app in order to update it", or similar (see screenshot above).
The OS seems to get its updates fine - it's just the core apps from the App Store.
I've only ever had one Apple ID, so I have no idea what to do. I went to ask the Genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't help, and insisted that I must have purchased the iMac using a different account, but I definitely didn't. There are a few posts on non-Apple forums of this happening to other people, so it must be a rare bug.
I'm a little concerned it may affect my ability to update from Lion to Mountian Lion. Can anyone help?

Have you done a Disk Repair and a Disk Permissions Repair?
If that doesn't resolve the problem I would suggest calling customer support about this issue as it is most likely on their (Apple's) end that the problem exists.

Is there a way to refuse a third party app update?

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing an app. In many cases problems seem to arise with the update. Is there anyway to turn off the automatic update for third party apps? Or selectively deny an update to a particular app?

You cannot turn off the notification for third party updates. You do NOT have to accept the update - the update will only occur if you select the app and allow the update to take place.
You will have to simply ignore the notification if you really do not want to update the app, but it some cases - apps will no longer work if the iOS is updated and the app is updated to run only in the newest iOS. So just be aware of that as well.

Did latest iPhone update and now non of my third party apps work. They open then close immediately. I tried to restore but can't as my iphone wont sync with itunes now and I will loose my apps. Also my largest app "Sat Nav" has gone. Help ??

Hi All
I have run into problems with my iPhone 4. I hadn't done an update for a while so decided to get my itunes and iphone 4 up to date. I downloaded all the latest versions. However now non of my third party apps work and my largest one has vanished. I try and open them and they flash up and then close again. I thought the easiest thing to do was to restore so I tried to syn my apps onto itunes so I wouldn't loose them. However it won't let me sync the apps onto iTunes. It ill allow me to syn the old version when I just started but since then I have bought a dozen other apps. Can anyone help. thanks

Well this won't work for me...
I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

Third party apps disappear after updates

I have several third party apps installed, including dropbox, windows office 365 suite, and google drive, among others. When my Macbook Pro updates, those apps are automatically uninstalled. The icons remain on the bar, but when clicked, produce a gray ? indicating that they are no longer installed. This has been happening since I have been using this Mac (approximately 16 months). I am able to reinstall the apps and they function as normal. This has become a very frustrating aspect of using my Macbook.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Third-Party Apps Crashing After Update

After getting the new update for my 8GB iPod Touch, I discovered my third-party apps no longer worked--they would briefly seem to boot up before crashing to the desktop. I fixed this problem by restoring my iPod, reinstalling everything, resyncing music (which took several hours). But then when I connected my iPod Touch to charge it, it said it wasn't finished restoring it or something. I said to finish; it soon says the restoration failed with a maddeningly vague error message (-34), some of my third-party apps crash again, and all my music is gone. What is going on, and is Apple taking steps to fix this problem with the new OS? Is there any way to revert to OS3?

Here is what I did & my phone now works fine:
Ok. I went back to the apple store. They reloaded the IOS6 software from a computer they knew had a good version of the software and treated the phone as if it was a new phone. We did not back it up from my pervious backups. I then reloaded all the apps from the app store and not my computer. My phone is working great now. It appears I had a corrupted copy of the IOS 6 or a corrupted app that was causing the problem and it syncing just fine without the problem returning.

Can't update Adobe AIR after Yosemite update and need it for a third-party app.

I updated to Yosemite and had some issues. After receiving help from Apple, I could not open a third-party app; it said I needed to update Adobe AIR. When I tried to do that, I got the same message saying I needed to update AIR again. I tried uninstalling and installing AIR but without success. What steps do I need to take?

I had a similar problem when trying to install Zinio.air. I have made it all work out. What i did was remove Adobe Air 15 entirely from the Utiliites and Library/ accounts and preferences. I then downloaded Adobe Air 13 and installed and then clicked on Zinio .air and it all installed ok. I also had to temporarily change security settings from Apple approved to Anywhere. All functioning now.

HT4623 third party apps not loadingwith IOS & update

After updating to IOS 7 some of my third party apps wont load?

The issue is actually not related to the 3.1.3 update.
The issue occurs because the iPod or iPhone is unable to properly authenticate that you are the proper owner of the application. The apps are launched, the device checks who purchased the app, then checks if it has been authorized to continue. At some point in the process a mismatch occurs and the app quits. The easiest way of determining if this is your specific issue is to launch a native app (Phone, iCal, Contacts, etc) and verify that it launches, then launch a downloaded app (Skype, AIM, Facebook, etc) and verify that it quits shortly after launching.
Two possible ways of resolving the issue:
1) Trying to keep most application data, sync iPod/iPhone, deauthorize computer and sync again, reauthorize computer, and sync again. You may lose music on the iPod/iPhone until the final sync. Make sure it's all on your computer beforehand.
If that doesn't work,
2) Deauthorize computer, restore iPod/iPhone, authorize computer, set iPhone up as new device, then sync. This is the cleanest (and in my opinion the best) method but will also not preserve all application data (WIFI passwords, voicemail password, certain saved data within applications, SMS, etc).
To deauthorize and reauthorize your computer account, load iTunes and select the "Store" menu item.
Hope this helps,
Brian

Have you tried basics from the manual?
Restart?
Reset?
Restore?

Notes on third-party apps closing (not really crashing) after a restore

Hello,
I'm adding the umpteenth message about a problem that, after happening basically with each single iPhone change since my old iPhone 3G onwards, I would say it's pretty common.
I have solved this problem recently with a third sequence of actions, so I'm posting my brief "history of restores" for the benefit of others. I hope I've tagged this post eloquently enough to make it easy to find.
So, in most (if not all) cases of previous restores I've bumped in the classic issue where after the restore process (which, BTW, involves always a few more sudden phone restarts than expected) only the "native" iPhone apps run normally. All the others appear for an instant and then close. They don't really crash because both in iOS 6 and iOS 7 you can see them as "running" by double-tapping the iPhone front button. Moreover, those with active notifications will actually notify the user regularly. Their UI, though, doesn't go past the splash screen.
The underlying cause, also considering it relates only to apps downloaded via App Store, is presumably some DRM-related information that gets messed up during the restore process.
My personal experience included previously two distinct solutions, and each of those only worked in that occasion, i.e. has been useless in the other cases:
The oldest, and still most documented solution, was just to download, via iPhone, a new app from the app store. After a restart, or maybe even without one, the new app and all the others started working.
The second, less mentioned online but still pretty widespread, was to sign out from the Apple Store on the iPhone, and then sign back in.
This time, where I got a replacement for my iPhone 4s because of the common problem of the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip getting "burned" or dislodged, I tried both the solutions above but they didn't work. In the process, I've found other possible solutions that didn't work:
Deauthorizing iTunes on the Mac and then reauthorizing it.
Getting a new app via iTunes and then syncing the iPhone
Sign out/in with iCloud on the iPhone.
I was therefore close to abandoning my 877 apps already configured and organized in folders in the previous backups, and willing to accept the burden of setting up the iPhone as a new phone.
Nevertheless, I still hoped that a "mixed approach" would work and, indeed, it worked.
Here is the sequence that worked in my latest case:
Restore the iPhone as a new phone
Open the App Store on the iPhone and get a new app, not among those already downloaded previously
Open that app and see that it works (actually, after an iPhone replacement steps 1-3 would make sense anyway to check that the phone works properly)
Start a restore from a previous backup
As soon as the apps start syncing again, open the first app already sync'd and check that it works. It should work, that's what happened to me, and so you can wait the whole time required to sync back all the apps.
My experience involves also a falsification of the statement that the problem resides on individual backups. This is false because I've used the same backup, at step 4, that I selected before going through 1-3 and that was not working initially. Moreover, after step 5, I've realized that the old backup I had used was too old because yesterday evening, while I had my iPhone still misbehaving with third-party apps, I took a few pictures that would have gone lost using the old backup. I have then started again from step 4 with a backup from the night after the pics, when I was fiddling to fix my issues. Also the newer backup, clearly done while the apps where "bad", ended with all my apps working again.
Basically, once the "physical" phone runs third-party apps, than any backup would work. The (missing) authorization portion that causes the misbehaviour might be related to the phone IMEI, or some other piece of information that is not included in backups.
Does anyone know a specific thread here or blog post on some website where there is a collection of cases like mine?
I'm not looking forward to seeing what voodoo variation will be required the next time I replace my iPhone...
Hope this helps.
All the best,
Giovanni

ITunes 12 and third party apps

We have a couple third party apps that have been integral to our iTunes media management:
iRingtones -- convenient tool for creating ringtones from media registered with iTunes library
TuneUp -- cleanup album art
Neither of these works with iTunes 12. I realize Apple doesn't have any control over third party apps, but users should be aware that many of these will no longer function once you upgrade to iTunes 12.
If anyone has tips on how to get either of these apps working -- or any other for that matter -- feel free to post here.

Thought I should post this response I got from TuneUp support on Oct. 29 :
"TuneUp Support (TuneUp | Support)

Hello,
Thank you for your message.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
We are aware of the issue related to the Mac 10.10 and iTunes 12 update. We are working to resolve these issues as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,
TuneUp Support"

Upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone 4 -- all of my third-party apps missing

I'm not exactly sure where the issue came from, but I somehow lost all of my apps as I upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and the iPhone 4 today. But I figured out what happened and *I have the solution*, which I'd like to share...
This occurred on June 24, 2010 (iPhone 4 launch day). The steps I took to upgrade to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone 4 were as such:
1) I did a full sync and backup of my iPhone 3GS with iTunes 9.1.
2) I upgraded iTunes 9.1.x.xx to iTunes 9.2.0.61 (the first version compatible with iPhone 4).
3) I activated my new iPhone 4 and set it up based on my 3GS's back up data.
4) When it was done setting up the iPhone 4, I noticed that all of the native apps and their app data were intact, but I was missing all of my third-party app store apps. Note that all the apps on my 3GS were obviously still intact.
5) I noticed that I had zero apps in the iTunes library (at the top left under "Library"). Thus, with my 3GS plugged in, I right clicked on the iPhone in iTunes under "Devices" and selected "Transfer Purchases". This transferred all of the apps on my 3GS to the iTunes library.
6) I plugged in my iPhone 4, and noticed that on the "Apps" tab under "Devices / iPhone name", the "Sync Apps" box was unchecked. So I checked it, and it gives you a scary message saying that all of the apps in the iTunes Library (which I had just populated in step 5) will overwrite the app data on your iPhone. I didn't have any app data on my iPhone 4, so I clicked "OK". All of the apps transferred from the iTunes Library to my iPhone 4 with all of the app data (game saves, etc) intact.
So that's my solution. I'm sure this must be happening to other people. My main piece of advice is: after upgrading to iTunes 9.2 and syncing your old phone for the last time, make sure you have apps in your App Library and "Sync Apps" is checked. If not, follow the steps above.
This same issue also happened to my friend, but he doesn't have his old iPhone 3GS to restore the app data from. If anyone has any suggestions as to how he can save his app data, please let me know. Thanks.

Well this won't work for me...
I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

Third Party Apps Not Opening on iPhone 5 using iOS 6.0.2

I have an iPhone 5 and am using iOS 6.0.2 and recently certain third party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Shazzam for instance, no longer open. When I tap on the app, the app comes up on the screen for about a second, and then closes. What's strange is that I've been using iOS 6.0.2 and have also been using the most updated versions of the apps without any issues. The crashing started happening around last Friday. Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem so far but none of these options have worked:
- I restarted my phone by holding down the home button and the lock button.
- I turned my phone off and turned it on again.
- I deleted the apps and reinstalled them and then restarted my phone.
- I downloaded a random free app, opened it, and then tried opening the apps that kept crashing.
- I restored my phone and synced it using the most recent back up I had, which was from earlier that day.
I did find a temporary solution, that allows the apps to open but I think it's because the apps are not the most recent versions.
- I restored my phone and set it up as a new phone. The phone then downloaded all of the apps again and re-synced everything. The apps did open after that however, when I went to the app store, it said that I had 24 available updates. I updated all of the apps to their most up to date versions and then noticed that they once again stopped opening and would crash almost immediately after launching them.
- I then restored my phone again and set it up as a new phone and did not update the 24 apps and all but one of them work. The only app that I've noticed that still doesn't work is the Blackboard Eats app. It still crashes almost immediately after launching it.
I took my phone to the Genius Bar this weekend (which is where I was told to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone). I'm thinking that the issue is purely a software issue, but is there any chance that it could be a hardware issue?
I suppose I could just not update the apps, but I'm hoping there's a better solution than that. What's weird is that the phone was working with iOS 6.0.2 and all of the most up to date versions of the apps less than a week ago and it seems that somehow, overnight, they stopped working.
Is anyone else running into this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

The music player does not remember where the last session ended. I have about 1000 songs on my iPhone. I play the songs in the Shuffle mode - and it worked fine on iOS 5.x. Ever since I updated to iOS 6.0, the shuffle seems to be seriously broken. It repeats the song sequence of previous session in the exact order instead of starting from where the session ended. God forbid if your last session was 10-25 songs long - you'll have to hit the Next song so many times to listen to something that you have not heard for a while.

Screen Resolution issue with most third party Apps

I have noticed that the screen resolution on my new iPhone 6 is not the same across the apps. For example when I open Facebook, the fonts seems to be like a little blurred and the background appears blurred. I am sure the third party apps need to work with the new iPhone to get it fixed. But just wanted to make sure that there is no need to do anything at this point. These apps are making the new iPhone screen resolution look sub-standard which is in no way Apple's fault. These Apps need to grow up faster and release updated versions before the users start cursing them for lagging behind lol..
On the other hand the Apps designed by Apple work perfectly fine!
The new iPhone 6 is beautiful! Thank you Apple! I love you.

I can't help with the problem, since I don't have a laptop or second monitor, but if you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Third party apps on my nokia c3-00 wont run

Hi everyone,i have a nokia c3-00 and sice i updated it to the version released on 2011, i have been having trouble with third party apps and games from the likes opera store,the apps will close soon after opening them but when you download from the nokia stire all work perfectly,when i download some themes are copyright protected so i cant apply,communities dont open and the email app too wont load.
Any help more so apps coz there are so many apps thatt are not in the nokia store,and free games and i need the mail app working.

The Mail app got updated on Nokia Series 40 based phones introduced 2012 or later, or to be more precise: The Mail app does not use a proxy based anymore, if there was an update in mid 2013. I am not aware of any such update for the Nokia C3-00. However, I am surprised the Nokia 200 got that update. Could you please double-check with your friend? Anyway, please, post your E-mail service provider(s) and we look into alternatives for you.

I am an end-user like you. However, the Java engine in Nokia Series 40 phones was buggy to an extend which lead to the extinction of the Nokia Series 40 platform as a whole. Furthermore, because the Nokia C3-00 has a screen-orientation for which Nokia did not offer an emulator, and because that screen-oriantation came rather late, a lot of apps could be compatible but are not in reality. And many of that auto-detection webpages did not test but made a guess.
Anyway, the described symptoms do not sound normal. As I am an end-user, and because I do not have a Nokia C3-00 handy right now, I cannot test that theme. Did you go for the Software Recovery Tool via a Windows computer and a Micro-USB cable already? Any issues with that tool? Although the name suggest different, it has to work with a Nokia C3-00 as well. When you dial *#0010#, please, we need the first two rows.
