Third Party Apps Don't Open

I activated a Lumia 928 two days ago and immediately discovered that the 3rd party apps do not open. I've done a soft and hard reset multiple times. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps with no luck. Any more suggestions?

Newly downlowded third-party apps won't open.

I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro and am running OS 10.8.4. Recently, I have tried to download several third party applications. I got the usual Gatekeeper warnings and have bypassed them. In fact, I have disabled Gatekeeper completely. I have also turned off Gatekeeper's automatic updates to the list of known malware sites (not sure if my lingo is correct on this one). Anyway, I don't think Gatekeep is the issue. When I get the app downloaded, I will try to open it, and the icon will pop up very briefly on my bottom toolbar. However, it disappears immediately and the program does not run. This issue seemed to have started when I upgraded by system to Mountain Lion. I have looked everywhere for an answer to this, but can't find it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Information from the Chrip site indicates the app is supported by Intel but it doesn't say anything about exactly which Mac OS X is supported. It may not work on ML v10.8.4
Try their Help menu > http://www.redmine.org/guide
I downloaded the Chirp file. Keep in mind it's a .zip meaning it's an archived file. I tried opening with the Unarchiver app from the Mac App Store, but no go. No dialog, nothing.

All third party apps won't open after moving to 4g

I updated the desktop to iTunes 10 and downloaded all of the updates to my iPod apps. I bought a new 4g to replace a lost 2g. I synced after dl'ing app updates to the desktop.
All 3rd party apps only open and close all in 1/2 second.
Will the suggestion on the support page about reauthorizing the computer help this issue?
I haven't been able to get back home to try. Thanks.
(disregard specs below.... I still have all that, but now I'm on my 4gTouch)

Sorry, I was sending that from my iPod.
I lost my last iPod. It was backed up on iTunes on my Desktop computer. It was a 2G model.
I've been off the internet for about 4 months but recently bought a new 4G Touch and got a new Broadband2Go card.
So, I used my Desktop computer to update all the apps for my Touch to iTunes on my Desktop, then I synced my iPod to my Desktop to apply all of the updates to the Touch.
All apps are there, just like before, but nothing will open. Only the Apple apps. They flash but close right away.
I'm home now, and will try the Apple suggestion in the FAQ.
I just wanted to make sure it was the best way to approach my particular problem.

Third Party Apps Won't Open

This morning, I finally got around to updating my iPhone 3G to 3.1.2. However, as soon as I did so, all of my third part apps STOPPED working. They would open for a second and then close right away. Apps like iPod, Mail, and Phone work, but anything not made my Apple (including Facebook) will NOT! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling apps, reauthorizing my computer, restarting my iPhone, calling it dirty names (not that I expected that to help) -- everything I can think of. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Does ANYONE have a solution??

There are a number of existing threads on this issue. See here, for example:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2229153&tstart=0
The short answer is to 're-purchase' an app, (even an existing one) on the phone. See the referenced link for more information.

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 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.

Open attachments in compatible third-party apps.

What countries outlawed the shutter noise on a camera?
And wouldn’t BB need to police BB World for programs that would support illegal activity in the countries you mention?
“In case you skipped over reading your link, no where is BlackBerry mentioned. Why would BlackBerry be addressing gaping holes in the Android OS? There is no Android OS on BlackBerry10.”
OF COURSE the article doesn’t mention BB. The point is that while people become more trusting with their devices and are told to “download the app” they tend to not read what they are signing up for. Despite your lack of vision in reference of something that could be phony, malicious programs exist and mobiles are ever increasing as targets.
“Finally, if you want bicker, nitpick and continue off-topic, please create your own thread elsewhere. This is thread is for Feature Requests. I responded to the user with alternatives. You responded with opinion, snarky commentary and inuemndo. Offtopic to this thread.”
I wasn’t off topic. You quashed the users requests with 3rd party apps and gave your opinion on moving apps to an SD card. I was making a point that the need for 3rd party involvement would be unnecessary if the issue was addressed at the OS. As well as a reason to avoid a 3rd party if at all possible, furthermore I was explaining why downloading apps something is to be cautious of.

Macbook pro crashes when opening third party apps

I have a Mid 2010 15" MBP With mavericks 10.9.3 on . I can't open spotify , chrome and most third party apps, they just sit and bounce on the dock then freeze.
I have completely wiped the hdd ( and replaced with SSD too ) and started from fresh and still having the same issue.
This is really started to bug me no as its pretty much rendering my MBP useless, It's been to the apple store genius bar and had the hardware tests ( pre ssd change ) and it passed them ( apart from the HDD drive test on its own which wouldn't load for them ) he suggested it could be the hdd or ribbon cable.
I have now upgraded the hdd to ssd and still the same issue.
He was able to boot to an operating system on their server and run third party apps that way.
Would the system still boot with a faulty ribbon cable ? This seems like a programing bug to me !
Cheers for any assistance in advanced !

btodman93,
if you have an external disk enclosure or a SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FireWire adapter, try booting from one of your disks externally using Startup Manager. If it runs well externally, but crashes internally, then that could point to the internal SATA cable being faulty.

Support for Third Party Apps when they take your money and don't respond

Does Blackberry App do anything about third party apps that take your money and then don't give you what you paid for or respond? I paid $4.99 for Jeweled game from getempower, it downloaded and worked a bit, then it said I needed to Register. When I clicked Register, nothing happened, it just said "checking registriation" forever. I clicked on the Support Email provided and it returned an error saying "We get too much spam so you can't email us anymore, so please go to our website for support." So I went to the website www.getempower.com, and got to the Support form and filled it out, and it said "you cannot submit form until you choose the app" but when I tried to choose the app it wouldn't let me. I can't see anywhere else on the web page to contact them. So I paid for the game but it won't let me get to it. I looked at the reviews and it looks like several other people have had this same problem. I guess I thought buying something through App World would be trustworthy - App World, do you stand behind the vendors you allow to sell on your site?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Firstly, as a user-to-user community, no one here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. This site is not a channel for any formal communications with RIM. All support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into RIM at no charge to the end user...and that is the required path for formal support for issues such as yours (including requests for refund, if you choose to go that route). So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums.
But, have you tried removing and resinstalling the app? And/or clearing the AppWorld cache?
Good luck!

Numbers quit unexpectedly while using the SFCompatibility plug-in? Do I need a third party app to open this xls?

Numbers quit unexpectedly while using the SFCompatibility plug-in.
Do I need a third party app? Can't find any info on web without that as only option.

Numbers is able to open xls and xlsx files, but you may find greater compatibility with some on the Excel features in one of the OpenOffice.org based applications, OpenOffice.org, Libre Office or Neo Office. All three are available on the web. One requires a recent donation for the most recent version.

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

Third party applications don`t work!!!!!!

Hi I really need help here I have a bb 9530 verizon(my uncle`s) cause my last phone broke a bb 9300 3G.i have set up the bb but I really don't know what I'm doing so every thing works fine except third party applications because when ever I go into a third party app for e.g... whatsapp it comes up with a message : <app name> has attempted to connect to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy. and after saying OK I get another message: unable to open folder.java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied  that always happens!!!! Please help me I'm really getting tired of this.P.S I don't know much about where the phone came from(country)and I'm in south Africa and on mtn and I don`t know about the previous settings or any of that all I know is the model and that its my uncles so please help.
Regards:fruityboy78

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
What you have is a BB that was previously associated with a corporate/BES system, and the IT Policy that was placed onto the device by BES was never properly cleansed, even though the BB was removed from the BES system (cleansing the BB is NOT an automatic function). Until that is gone from the BB, you will have this problem.
The other problem you have is that the only remedy will totally wipe your BB clean of everything -- data, apps, configurations, etc. It will be as if it was brand new again, fresh from the factory. The problem here is that, from what you say, you probably don't know the first thing about what you need to do in order to proper re-configure after you cleanse the IT Policy off of the BB. So doing so could render your BB useless since you don't know any of the settings you would need to accomplish this task.
All in all, what you need to do is a rather complex set of things, requiring you to know what you are doing, and know the necessary configuration items in order to get your BB working again. If you are willing to undertake that mess, then we can give you the necessary procedure...if you are not willing, then you likely should seek out some paid support from someone who does know what they are doing and can perform the necessary steps for you.
Good luck and let us know!
