What to do if iPhone apps don't work after syncing with iTunes

Just wanting to share this with anyone who may have the same problem.
This is what I did: All I did was authorised my computer to transfer apps into my iTunes.
This may also help (depending on the cause of the problem)

(Thanks to Jim for sending this link but apparently my solution was a much simpler one)
Hope this helps! Cheerios!

Try this - worked for me:
on the iPhone, go Settings-->General-->Restricitons and either turn all Restrictions off OR if they are on make sure 'Installing Apps' is ON.

  • All apps have stopped working after syncing with itunes

    Hello everyone,
    Extremely frustrated to find that after plugging my iphone into my comp for the first time since i've had it (about 3 months). I knew I had a good reason for avoiding plugging my iphone into the comp, because I have 2 other ipods and hate the way itunes tries to take over and do everything. No, i'm quite happy to manual manage the files on it. Especially when irritating things like this happen.
    So I plugged it in for the first time on Saturday, and guess what, now NONE of my apps work anymore. Seems to be a common problem that no one at apple cares to admit. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8294502) this old thread details the problem I am having. Now the apps start to open and close and dont work. Awesome.
    I would've been more than happy to eat humble pie if i'd done ANYTHING dodgy to this iphone, but I haven't, and apples OWN device controlling application destroyed the functionality of the device, which I now have to figure out how to fix myself. Of course, apple wouldn't have any documentation on this issue.
    Its sad really as up till now Ive had a flawless experience with the device and enjoyed everything about it, mostly how it works so well and everything is easy to do. Extremely irritated about this - will be telling everyone who cares about this experience.
    Now, apple, or more like apples forum goers, how do i fix what itunes has done???

    Three days and no response, 3 others mentionining same problem.
    Apple clearly do not care about customers or have any interests in bug fixing their own software. This is clearly a widespread problem which has nothing to do with user software, the bug is in iTunes and apple dont even care to admit it or fix it. It doesn't even look like they monitor their support forums at all!
    I was considering buyign a macbook. Ha ha ha. Good luck. Not anymore.
    Have even called support and Apple are USELESS and I will not forget this experience, as will my friends.
    My advice? Get an android phone... we all know that it will only take a month or two till google gets a much bigger app library. Hey and guess what - they'll let you maintain your phone manually if you want, and dont force you through some stupid clunky, resource intensive, bug filled program which makes everything stop working. Exactly what it did to me on first connection.

  • Apps don't work after sync

    After syncing iPhone to iTunes (on Mac), I can not use any of my downloaded apps until I download a new one. I think this has to do with the fact that iTunes is linked to [email protected] while the iphone insists on using [email protected] If this is the case Apple really needs to fix it to allow users to use mac.com on their iPhones. I've had a .mac account since the service came out and do not plan on telling all my acquaintances to use me.com now. I know mac.com will work for incoming mail (dns points to the same server) but the whole thing is silly. Anyway, is anyone else having the same issue?

    I have not experienced the same.
    I've had a .Mac account since 2004 with my .Mac email address used for my iTunes account since that time, and my iPhone does not insist on using at me.com instead since the change to MobileMe. For those with a .Mac account, when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail application using the MobileMe account preset and entering their .Mac email address, the account should be created accordingly, not switched to the @me address to appear as the sending email address, or switched to the @me address for the iTunes account if iTunes on their computer is logged in with their @mac address when syncing their iPhone with iTunes.
    Apple hasn't prevented using your .Mac email address with the iPhone's Mail application, or with the Mail.app on your Mac, or with any email client on any computer or device.

  • My iphone 5 creates 2 folder after sync with itunes

    When i sync my photos in iphone using itunes it creates 2 folders No 1. is photo library and 2 is the folder which i sync and when i sync another it deletes previous one phtots in my iphone plz help..........

    You're welcome.  To sync multiple folders of photos to your phone you need to enable syncing of selected folders on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, enabling you to check more than one folder at a time.  If you are running Windows, for example, you may have all your photo folders in the My Pictures folder on your computer.  In this example, you would choose Sync Photos from My Pictures, then choose Selected folders, then check all the folders containing the photos you want on your phone.  This would be similar to the image below:
    As mentioned earlier, the combined photos from all the folders will appear on your phone in the photo library album and each of the individual folders will appear as separate albums, but will only contain links to the photos in photo library, not duplicate photos.

  • Iphone purchased music goes missing after sync with iTunes?

    I have noticed that when I sync my iphone 4 that any music on it under purchased on iphone all of sudden goes missing. I can find it in my library in my computer but no longer under music puchased on iphone on my iphone. It used to not delete songs. Any ideas how to fix?
    Also, this music is no longer showing up as purchased in my itunes account either. It is in library so it isn't truly missing but it is creating a mess for me.

  • My Iphone will not come on after syncing with Itunes.

    Please help with syncing issue.   I just get a picture of a chord and the Itunes symbol.  Please help!!!!

    You may have disconnected your phone before it was finished syncing.  Now you have to connect your phone to iTunes and iTunes will probably tell you that you have to restore your phone.

    It seems as though you are describing two different things, unless you are trying to say that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store on through the phone. If that is correct, suggest you try and do a search, the question has been asked a great deal and answers can be found. Maybe even try and describe the error message you are seeing when trying to connect.

  • My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC

    My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC through Itunes....though all the apps are shown in the Apps window in Itunes (The Apps match the iTunes account on the iPhone).....
    Disconnecting after the sync and After downloading any app from Appstore through Wi-Fi all my apps start working.....
    Please Help.....

    What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.

    All good. Just drag and dropped each application and they worked until I did a restart. Then repaired permissions and everything works.

  • Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

    I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago).  Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer.  I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54.  The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app.  Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists.  Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes?  Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

  • IPhone 4S won't do wifi sync with iTunes

    I can't get 4s iPhone iOS 6 to do wifi sync with iTunes on my Mac Pro.  Running Lion on Mac Pro and latest itune version.  Current with all app and software updates.

    No, the front screen has never been replaced before but I'm starting to think that the display connector might still have moved a little, I'll try and open it today.
