Why do none of my 3rd party apps work on my ipad2?

Why do none of my 3rd party apps work on my ipad2 after installing ios5, and how do I fix?

Try downloading another app - any free app. That helps reset the other apps.

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...

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.

I have an iPhone 5. Which 3rd party apps work with Apple Health that sync with the daily steps data repository???

Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work. It is already unlocked. Just put local Iranian SIM in phone.

2nd Gen iPod Touch - 3rd party apps work for 1 day, next day they crash

Hello I have a brand new 16gb Touch with 2.1.1 software.
My problem is any application from the app store will work fine for 1 day and then the next day when I attempt to open the program it just loads for a second and then crashes back to the home screen. The only thing that works is uninstalling and reinstalling the apps which gets very annoying. It does this everyday though. They will perfectly all day long until I go to bed. Once I wake up and check they just crash. They won't work with the iPod plugged into the PC or with it not and powercycling doesn't make a difference. Only reinstalling them seems to work then the next day they are toast again. Any ideas? Is this thing bad and needs to go back?

I had this problem - did a Restore (having backed up) and found my Apps (all of which had stopped working) NOT on the IPT, but in the Apps folder in iTunes (not sure I'd ever noticed them there before). Couldn't get them on the IPT by Synching etc. THEN - tried open an App from the iTunes window and got the "Computer not authorised to play ...etc" Re submitting the authorisation request just told me I was already authorised, but then did Sync and Apps all ok back on IPT
now, will they stay working for more than a few days????

IPhone 4s 3rd Party Apps not working

On Wednesday I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and all my 3rd party apps worked fine. Then on Friday when my iPhone 4S arrived I transferred everything over. The phone works great and all the core apps work fine, but none of the 3rd party apps work at all. They "blink" if I click on them but none of them will launch - even ones that have just been updated. I have a couple of key apps with years worth of data that I really can't afford to lose. I have done a hard reset. I have restored the software and restored from backup and still the problem is the same.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and more importantly how I can resolve it?
Thanks.

This is what I found out from another post and it immediately solved my problem:
The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone “forgets” your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.

Why won't my 3rd party apps open?

Hi
I've got a problem where my none of the 3rd party apps open on my iPad 1 (wifi + 3G) on iOS 5.1.1. They just open and shut down instantly. I've tried all of the suggested solutions (downloading a free app, updates etc, reauthorising both itunes and the ipad) but nothing works.
I've even restored the ipad several times both as new and from a backup. Also, when I try to sync the apps through itunes it gets halfway through one and cancels the sync. Because of this there are heaps of apps that just say "loading" but never do anything.
This is so frustrating its been happening for a few weeks now and still only the original apple apps work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Josh

Yes I have several times. I seem to have fixed it somehow.
Firstly I restored on the iPad instead of through iTunes by going Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then I set it up as a new iPad. I downloaded a previously purchased app but it still didn't work so then I downloaded a new free app. Then I did a hardware reset by holding in the home and power buttons. After that, I manually downloaded each app that I wanted to use as I needed it.
It seems that the issue resurfaces every time I sync with the computer so I will have to avoid doing this.
Thanks anyway,
Josh

Can't open any 3rd party apps - they crash on startup

I've been an iPhone owner since the first model (I have iPhone 4 now), and I've never seen anything like this.
Last night my iPhone ran out of charge. This morning, when I plugged it in it had to charge for a few minutes before it would turn on. Once it turned on, it said "waiting for activation: this may take a while". I thought this was strange, because my phone is already activated. I'm in an area with no reception, though, so maybe that was the issue.
Once the phone turned on, I tried to open some of my apps. But none of the 3rd party apps would open! When I tap them they appear to open but they shut down / crash right away. Strangely, however, all of the Apple apps that come with the phone will open without a problem (Maps, Mail, Safari, iCal, etc.).
I tried a hard reset but that didn't help. I'm away from home so I can't do an erase and store, and I really need access to some of the data in those apps.
Any ideas?

I did the same this week. I did a sync and now I can't access any of my apps. They appear to open then shut right back down. Have tried to resync, update and about anything else that may fix and nothing. Paying an aweful lot of money just for texting and phone usage. Anyone know how to take care of this issue? I have a 3G phone and been using it for a year without this problem

All 3rd party apps are crashing on startup of the app even after a restore

My iPhone was working perfectly fine yesterday before I updated the weather.com application over wifi, ever since then none of my 3rd party apps will open on the iphone. The standard apple apps i.e. weather, email, calculator, etc. all open fine.
I have done a reset, a hard reset and a full restore from a backup and still it is not working properly. Any ideas on what to do from here?

Same problem here too!! Here's my Log:

3rd Party Apps stop working each day?

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I got my new 3G phone on Sunday and loaded a bunch of 3rd party apps. Monday morning, none of them worked--I click to start, and looks like it will start (the screen changes to the initial app screen), then it abruptly closes. Doesn't happen for the pre-installed apps. So I deleted and reinstalled 2 apps and they worked, soon after, I noticed all of them were working again. Yesterday and today, same thing--none of the 3rd party apps is working.
Anyone else with a similar story? Anyone know how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Thanks for the info--though I have heard conflicting info that pressing home on the 3G actually does terminate an app completely. Unfortunately, it does not resolve the issue with the 3rd party apps not working. I've tried soft reboots, hard reboots, switching from wifi to 3G, and even did a full restore, but no change. The only current way I can get them to work again is to uninstall one and reinstall it. For some reason, this also fixes the rest of them. Pretty sure this is an actual OS bug. You don't even need to reboot after reinstalling an app--it works, then the rest of them do. I guess I will just have to live with it until Apple comes out with an update. I have never had an Apple device before...is there a way for a user to enter a ticket so that they know about this issue?

3rd Party Apps No Longer Work After Update

I just got my iPhone today and installed a few apps, Cube and GuitarChords. Both apps were working fine earlier. Later I connected the phone to my PC and it requested that I perform an update to v2.2, which I did. After the update, neither app would start. When I pressed the icon, it seemed to start for a few seconds then went back to the main screen. I reinstalled the apps and GuitarChords worked, but Cube still wouldn't start. I then did a hard reset (holding home and lock button) and now neither app will open again. All the apple apps start fine. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the apps working again?
On a similar note, how would you guys rate the stability of the iPhone at this time. I mostly use my phone for business, so if it's still pretty buggy I'd like to return it and get back on my Win Mobile phone for now. Thanks in advance!

IT DID IT AGAIN!!!
I didn't change or update anything. I was using the Touch Term ssh client this morning and it was working fine. I tried using Win Admin later this afternoon and it wouldn't start, none of the 3rd party apps would. Again I tried the soft and hard resets. I even tried resetting the phone in the general menu. After looking around online, I see that this is an extremely common issue. I'm going to return the iPhone tomorrow and have my Tilt reactivated.
I don't know if Apple monitors these forums, but if so they should take note; if they intend to make a dent in the enterprise market, stability needs to be a top priority. Sure, Windows Mobile doesn't have a very pretty or friendly interface, but it's quite reliable. In the year that I had my Tilt, it crashed once, and that was the fault of buggy software I had installed. Honestly, this being the first Apple product I've personally owned leaves a poor impression of the brand. I know Apple can do better, I manage several Macs at work and I almost never get support calls from those users. I really like the iPhone, and hopefully Apple can get their priorities straight and work out the issues, as I would like to give it another go in the future.
Thank you again to those who responded to my question earlier.

All my 3rd party apps won't open on my iPhone 4.

Recently all my apps won't open on my iPhone. All the stock Apple apps work though. All the 3rd party apps don't work. What can I do? I tried resetting, and restoring. What else should i try?

I'm also going through this problem and the only way to fix it (as far as I know) is go to App Store in your iPhone and download any random app (free app preferably), then make sure all your 3rd party apps work again and delete the random app you just downloaded.

3rd Party Apps Not Working . . .

Woke up this morning, turned on my iphone and was greeted by a screen informing me that my phone was good only for emergency calls and that I should connect to computer and iTunes.
So, I did.
This restored the phone to active status, but during the sync some weird things happened:
I was told to an update to carrier settings was available, I clicked accept to download and received an error code saying the update failed (error code -4)
The computer reported and error trying to sync my apps (error code -4)
The sync then finished and said I could disconnect. After doing so none of my third party apps worked. They start to load and then immediately crash. Not one of them works.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, I actually used the iPhones erase all data and media function to clear the phone and start from scratch (all my stuff was backed up),
I then tried to sync, everything loaded fine except the apps. I now have no third party apps on my phone at all on my phone. They will not load from the computer to the phone. They do show up in the computer though.
The update carrier settings still bombs out (error -4) and the restore from iTunes will not work (same check for current version of iTunes message shows).

Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed" Why now?

ITunes Match and 3rd Party Apps - iPad/iPhone

With the myriad of apps out there that integrate with iTunes, why is it that nearly none of them offer support for iTunes Match? (And, a seemingly cool one that claims to offer support -- "BeatBlaster" -- http://www.beatblaster.com/ -- that has all the features I'm looking for, isn't available in the App Store in the US). I'm really surprised at the lack of information on this topic on the web... A Google search for it only pulls up articles that are 2-3 years old. The best information I could find was that the API toolset made available to developers is either really limited, or it's just not available at all... and that's in an article from 2011. Are you telling me that Apple is STILL -- 3+ years later -- limiting access to developer tools for iTunes Match integration (or just has never created any)? I understand that I'm asking about something that could be considered "outside" of Apple (3rd Party apps), but I'm just really looking for someone that might be in the know on this stuff... And, I'm hoping that that person can clue the rest of us in on "what's up".
Bottom line, I'm looking for a clock radio app that supports iTunes Match... I've got our Master Bedroom and Bath rigged up with in-ceiling speakers, attached to a bluetooth receiver, with a wall-mounted iPad serving as the "jukebox". When my dang iPad doesn't drop the WiFi connection, it's pretty slick. I'd just like to have a single app that a) offers a large, well-visible clock, b) allows me to browse my iTunes Match library of songs and play them as I'd like, and c) have a "play my iTunes music as an alarm" option. I know... directly d/l-ing songs to the iPad is an option, but it defeats the whole purpose of iTunes Match, which I subscribe to because my music library is WAY too big to fit on the iPad (or my iPhone).
Anyway, any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You'll have to ask the software makers this question. It is up to the 3rd party vendors, not Apple, to provide the features you are asking for.

Why do none of my 3rd party apps work on my ipad2?
