All your third-party apps stopped working?


So you updated your phone. Synced it with you laptop and made sure to back up those calendar events and contacts. You even updated your laptop just to make sure the latest version of each required piece of software available.

So why when you go to use any third-party app does it quit before the opening screen?

Well, let me ask you this. Did someone else, say your wife, log into iTunes using the same copy as the one you synced to?

Yes?

Well that’ll do it. Your iPhone is checking your ownership of the app with her username. Your phone looks stolen. The fix? Log back into the iTunes store with your username and password. Re-sync and enjoy!
