Why does my apps keep disappearing?

Hello, I have a iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1 and my apps keep disappearing while I download them, but, the 'Install' button still can work. Please help me! (Extra: It is jailbroken.

Have you setup restrictions in your System Preferences?
Some setting combinaitions could, for example, allow you to install apps but nor run them (since you have an age limit set up)?

Why does my cursor keep disappearing in the Google search bar?

When using FF or Google Chrome, I've noticed that my cursor keeps disappearing when using the Google search bar. I've tried using all the about:config tips, I've downgraded to earlier versions, I've pressed F7, I've unchecked the "hide cursor while typing" option in my mouse properties, I've checked for driver updates, I've tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, and I've checked another computer in our home as well. Same thing there. This seems to have become a problem in the last few days. IE seems unaffected by it. Just FF and Chrome.

No sir, there are no other tabs open, when it happens. For now, I've found a workaround, and I invite you to test it yourself.
I've been working on this problem all day. I've noticed that the cursor blinks very slowly in the Google search bar. If you press a key while the cursor is blinking "off", it will stay off until you let go of what key you're pressing. Conversely, if you press a key while the cursor is blinking "on", the cursor will remain visible as you type.
In IE, the cursor blinks much more rapidly, and blinks more "on" than "off." As a result the cursor remains on, no matter what you type or when, or what key you press, including the spacebar. This is not the case in FF or Chrome.
It was suggested in the Google forums that disabling "autocomplete" has helped with this problem. I followed the instructions and successfully disabled the "auto-complete" feature on Google. When I did that, I immediately noticed that the cursor blink speed doubled, like what I'm used to seeing. Further, no matter what I did, the cursor did NOT disappear anymore.
The link for google with autocomplete disabled is http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0
Go there and see if you notice a difference in the blink speed of the cursor. On my computer, the difference is drastic. While I do enjoy "auto-complete" and will miss this feature, I generally don't rely on it, and much prefer a consistent cursor.
I greatly look forward to your feedback on this. If you figure out a way to have Google work normally without this workaround, I will be forever in your debt.

Why does my app keep closing?

Several of our applications keep closing right after they get initiated. Does anybody know why this happens and how to fix it?

More then likely you dont have any room on your device. You have to check your memory. If it says 0 bytes you may have to delete a couple songs that you dont really want or a lot of unnecessary photos/videos to free up your phone.
Go to: Settings>General>Usage. Then look to see how many bytes of free memory there is. If it says 0 then walla!! Time to delete.
The tricky part is even if you delete a couple it may not pop up in the free bytes that you have freed up any bytes but just know that as long as you delete some stuff to make room there should be that much room. Deleting apps doesnt really work that well but photos and songs work a lot better. This should work, try it and ket me know how it goes!
If not then more then likely your going to have to delete that app and download it again or get a new phone.

Why does iMovie app keep crashing on my iPad 2?

My iMovie keeps crashing when I playback my project and it also only seems to allow me to split each clip only once. I have to restart the app to split the same clip again at another time instance.

Have you tried a soft reset?

Why does my cursor keep disappearing on Firefox (and nothing else) when it's not being moved?

If I'm not moving the cursor it disappears entirely, which is highly annoying. It only does this on Firefox, nothing else. It went through a permanently flickering period before this, too.

Thanks for the advice, AmazingBeast - I think that probably would have worked. I isolated the problem eventually to a particular web page I'd been using a lot and had kept open. Once I closed it everything was fine again, although it means whenever I want to look at that page I have to put up with the Disappearing Cursor!

Why does my library keep disappearing??

Ok, this is happening on a regular basis - I save all my music to an external HDD through iTunes, but sometimes when I start up iTunes the whole library has disappeared and in the Advanced tab, my file save location has reverted back to the C drive, meaning I've got to reload everything (and as I've now done this a number of times means I've got some files duplicated up to 7 times), and it also takes ages as I've got quite a bit of stuff.
It only does it on my area though, the wife's area is fine...
To say I'm getting narked off by it is a bit of an understatement, any help greatly appreciated!
Oh I'm using Vista btw

If you take the time to read the posts in this older thread, there are several ways around it

Why does my cursor keep disappearing?

I can't type it's so frustrating! Every 10 or so letters I type I have to reclick on the area I'm typing to be able to continue. It stops and then makes some stupid sound. To type this I had to reset the cursor 12 times.
HELP!!!!!

Since this is a MacBook Pro, you might ask your question in that forum; this forum is for iMac users.
You might check to see if the problem still happens when you Safe Boot Mac OS X. If the problem isn't there when you Safe Boot, then it's probably related to a third-party program or startup item.
When something is handling keyboard input, we say it has "focus". When you're typing into a text field, then that field has focus. If you click somewhere else, then focus moves to where you clicked. What you're describing sounds like focus is moving somewhere unexpectedly. It might help to figure out where.
While it won't solve your problem, VoiceOver can help is figure out where focus is going. VoiceOver is a program that's part of Mac OS X that is designed to let blind users use the computer, but it also may help shed some light on your situation.
Open System Preferences, and select Universal Access. Under the "Seeing" tab, click "Open VoiceOver Utility…". In the "Navigation" section, make sure that "Initial position of VoiceOver cursor" is set to "Keyboard focused item". Also, make sure that "VoiceOver cursor follows keyboard focus" is checked. Close VoiceOver Utility and go back to System Preferences. Still in the "Seeing" tab of Universal Access, turn on VoiceOver. At this point, the computer will start talking, so use headphones if the baby's asleep!
VoiceOver will show an introductory note, and read it to you. You can just click "Ok". Now, VoiceOver will tell you whenever the focus moves. VoiceOver can be tricky in a web browser if you're not used to it, so ignore Safari for this test. Instead, start a new Mail message, or open Spotlight, or do anything else that will give you a text cursor. Wait six blinks, and listen to what VoiceOver says when the cursor disappears. It should briefly describe where the focus has moved to. For example, if focus moves to the Finder, then it may say something like "Finder, Desktop" and the name of the currently selected file. If you want more information, you can press Control-Option-F4 (you probably need to hold down Fn as well, since you're on a laptop). That will make VoiceOver describe what has keyboard focus. (Control-Option-F3 will give you a little bit different information too.)
You may want to repeat this test a few times with different programs and different windows to see if there's a pattern. For instance, if focus always moves to the same program regardless of what's open, then that program may be stealing focus. Once you've got an idea of where focus is going, you can turn off VoiceOver in System Preferences.
While this won't fix your problem, it may provide more information to make it easier to figure out what's going on.

Why does my iPhone keep disappearing from my list of avalilable wi-fi networks?

Everything works out fine initially but if I close my MacBook, it can´t find my Phone again amongst the available Wi-Fi networks.
To make it work, I then have to turn off, and then on the Internet Sharing again, and now it can find it. Why is that? Is there any way to make sure my iPhone is visible permanently?

It's normal for the WiFi connection to be dropped when the phone sleeps, and will take 5 - 45 seconds to reconnect when waking. This is a battery conservation measure and is common with most laptops when they sleep.
You can maintain a continuous WiFi connection (if your router is not set to time out) by disabling cell network data connection:
Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data > OFF

Why does my iPod keep on crashing when I run high memory apps?

Why does my iPod keep on crashing when I run high memory apps? I have a 32 gb 4th gen iPod Touch with only 11gb used, and I currently run 6.1.5 Everytime I run a high memory app, without fail it crashes. These apps include but are not limited to instagram, infinity blade, subway surfer, gmail, clear vision 3, dropbox, and even Safari has crashed on multiple occasions. I tried resetting the settings and that seemed to work for about a day but now I'm back at square one.

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

If you rest it on your computer's iTunes then try logging out of your account on the iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
