Why are apps on iPhone 5 short?

I had to go to the Apple Store yesterday because a button was non responsive. I had already uploaded iOS 7 on the old iPhone 5. The tech at the store swapped out my phone for a new one and told me I would have to install the new software on this phone since iOS 7 was so new. I got home and did what he said. Now, some of the apps when I open them are shorter than the screen and other simply crash as soon as I open them. I can correct this by deleting and reinstalling the app. Why is this happening?

When apps are not fullscreen, they havn't been adapter to the iPhone 5 screen, which is larger than that of the iPhone 4/4S. You will have to contact the app developer - he is the one who has to adapt the app.
As for apps crashing: If this happens repeatedly I would suggest that you restore your phone over iTunes, as this definetly is not normal behaviour.

Why are there no iPhone 6 battery cases with a lightning input port for charging instead of a micro USB?

Why are there no iPhone 6 battery cases with a lightning input port for charging instead of a micro USB?
Does it have something to do with the MFI certification? Is micro USB just cheaper?
I don't want to have to carry around another cable and it seems like this would be a good product. What am I missing?

Valid point.
So can I ask why there are no MFI certified lightning female ports on battery cases? Or more so, does this certification even exist?
And why not?
This is a user-to-user technical support forum. There is no one here from Apple to answer "why". Again, I would recommend contacting the manufacturers or use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to contact Apple directly.
I suspect that manufacturers may view the more standard microUSB charging port as a selling point. Those types of cables are cheaper and ubiquitous.

Why are apps not syncing between my iPhone and iTunes?

Hi! When I connect my iPhone to my computer and sync with iTunes, everything gets synced except my apps! If I get a new app in iTunes, it will not sync across to my iPhone. I have to download the app from the App Store on my iPhone. If I delete an app from my iTunes, it does not delete on my iPhone. I have to delete it myself from the iPhone. I cannot move apps across iPhone pages in iTunes and have it sync to my iPhone, either. Yes, my iTunes is authorized, and the Run Diagnostics all works with no errors. What am I doing wrong? What setting do I need to change? Thanks!

I just want to clarify that the syncing process goes through all its steps: preparing, contacts, calendars, notes, email accounts,... then "determining apps to sync" flashes really fast, and the syncing ends without doing anything with my apps!

Why are Apps taking up space on my Mac in iTunes when I have iCloud?

The Apps in iTunes on my Mac take up a lot of disk space. Why are they there at all? I use iCloud to backup my iPhone and iPad. iTunes Store keeps my purchase history. So, why are the Apps taking up space on my computer?

Why are apps appearing in my music folder?

Just wondering if I can delete these ".IPA" (iOS App) files and .XML files that have appeared in my Music folder. I'm on a PC, so the files are assigned to iTunes, but I still don't know why they're here. I think they appeared after I synced my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) with the computer. There's also over 300 "ITC2" files which I have no clue about. All the app files are apps I have on my iPod, so that much makes sense, and some of the "ITC2" files are the same name as the 2 books I have on my iPod. All the others are just things like "4C9515F643471A36-D9A5A87B5F4A4EDF.ITC2". I just want to know if I can delete them really.
Thanks
PS: Isn't leaving iOS app files lying around kind of asking me to share them for free on the internet? Just saying.

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
.ipa files are your apps and should end up in Mobile Applications. .itc2 files are cached artwork and should end up in the Album Artwork folders. These are normal parts of the iTunes library and should be left alone. I can't tell exactly what you did when you connected your device but it looks like you allowed iTunes to transfer your purchases into your library. This is a good thing. If your iPod was lost, stolen or damaged, you would have the files needed to rebuild your setup on a replacement device.
The iTunes folder is normally created inside your profile's Music folder, with the iTunes Media folder inside iTunes. If the files in question are appearing outside of the normal folder structure outlined above then perhaps you have the wrong setting for the media folder.

Why are Apps still not syncing between my iPhone 4S and iPad 4?

I have a new iPad 4 and I also have an iPhone 4S. I have enabled 'Automatic Downloads' on both, but for some reason, I can download Apps on one device and they're not showing up on the other. The only thing I can figure is that maybe some of the Apps downloaded on the iPad, for example, aren't compatible with the iPhone 4S and therefore they don't automatically download. Or, and I hope note, there's a glitch in the system :-(
I like to have all my stuff sync'd to the extent possible, but this automated App synchronization doesn't really seem to be happening as advertised.
And yes, I did go into iTunes on my PC and enable the automatic downloads there as well on the Preferences tab.
Some example Apps that didn't download from my iPad to my iPhone are USA Today, Men's Health Mag, UPS and Quick Scan barcode scanner.
Any help is much appreciated.

I may recall that you might have to charge your device in order for the automatic download to work. But I'm not 100% sure, it is worth trying out.

HT4528 why are apps from another iphone showing up on my iphone

Apps my son is downloading to his phone are showing on my phone. What is up?

This feature works like that because many users have more than one iDevice, for example I have an iPhone, an iPod and an iPad, and many users want all the apps that they buy downloaded to all of them. Then automatic downloads of all apps is switched to on.
If two different users want to share an Apple ID and do not want all apps purchased by one user downloaded in the device of the other user, all that is required is to make sure that the App Store settings are set to manual download.
This gives the users more choice as to how their iPhones and other iDevices work with the App Store. It takes very little effort to set up the App Store settings to your liking.

HT1977 Why are Apps not shown in left hand panel in itunes when my ipad or iphone is synced

I recovered my hard drive from backup in windows vista and reinstalled itunes. When I sync my ipad of iphone and select apps, the screen layout is shown in the right hand panel but the apps do no show up in the left panel. Before the recovery operation the apps were found in the left panel categorised as iphone and ipad.
Now I cannot temprarily delete apps in case they are permanently deleted.

Great help - am running iTunes 12 and the last tip worked great .. Ta.. .. But......
I have now downloaded all my purchases from iPad into my 13" MacBook Air and its taken nearly 2G of disk space (which on the wee Air is a big problem !). I guess its transferred lots of files but apps like Adobe Draw and Sketch which I suspect have some big files do not show up down the page under the App > Files section in iTunes and many other apps are missing from here.
How can I find and delete all the files that have been sucked into my MB Air after restoring purchases. I have not chosen to backup my iPad to the Air, but who knows what iTunes has decided to do

Why are apps purchased on my iPod also downloading to my iPhone

We received a new iPad for Christmas and now every time we purchased an app on the iPad it also starts downloading on my iPhone five. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

On you iPhone, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and under Automatic Downloads turn Apps to Off. (Also turn Music and Books to Off if you don't want these to be automatically download either.)

Why are Apps ungrouping automatically on iPhone 4?

I regrouped my Camera apps twice and I check back and they are ungrouped. Any ideas on oreventing?

Okay, if you set up Gmail and Yahoo mail in the Exchange fashion, then push should work. However, there have been a number of posts on this and other forums about the failings of Yahoo push for some time now. I would believe this could be your issue with that. As far as Gmail, if you have push set up correctly in all the areas for that and it is set up for the Exchange version, it should work. I do not use either of these mail providers, so I cannot make comments based on personal experience. As far as Facebook is concerned, I would suggest turning off the notification and then turning it back on again. I use Facebook but not push notifications as it is not that important to me, however there is a section in Settings, Facebook and that sets push notifications.
If none of this corrects your Facebook issue, I suggest a restore. When connected to iTunes, you can click on Restore. Make sure you do a backup of the iPhone, you sync your contact and calendar data to the supported application on the computer and import photos from the camera roll. Try a restore from a backup first, and if that doesn't work, then a restore as a new device. Then sync information back to the iPhone from iTunes.

Why are apps unable to determine my location?

A number of apps tell me they can not determine my location. I have location services turned on for these apps and an active wi fi connection. Why is this happening? How do I fix this problem?

I have tried many things to reset the iPad and the network. So far, the iPad still thinks it is in New York. What is strange is that my iPod touch recognizes the correct location (02420) and both devices are using the same home wi fi network. If this is a problem related to the node not being in the database, how do I add it. I do not have an iPhone.

Iphone3gs to iPhone4s, why are apps missing?

Hey anyone know why My iTunes is asking to download an app(Instagram) from my cell to iTunes? I have been looking for it to use.
I have reset network, I have deleted app from cell and iTunes, reinstalled both, yet it would download just before it finishes it would disappear.
Any ideas?

Am I missing something here?
Yes, apps sold in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices; iPhones, iPads and iPods Touch.
Apps sold in the Mac App Store are for Macs.
iOS apps don't run on Macs and Mac apps don't run on Macs. If a developer has developed an app for both operating systems, they are sold separately in their respective app store.

Why are the old iPhones going for so much on ebay?

My iPhone was recently destroyed by my lawn mower, so I was looking out on ebay to see if I could find a bargain on a used one. But I see 8gb versions are going for upwards of $500 - used. That's what I paid for my 16gb brand new.
What is making them so popular?
Thanks,
Brad

It basically boils down to supply and demand. Locked iPhones in sealed boxes are bringing as much, if not more, than unlocked ones.
If you're thinking of upgrading, check your area to make sure there is 3G coverage, otherwise stick with the 1 gen model. You'll still be able to install the new 2.0 software and get apps from the App Store.
