This article doesn’t address how difficult it is to OPEN a new AppsStore account on your iPhone. They even ask you to invent and type in your own two security questions as well as your answers, this on top of a godawful long caps-lowercase-numeric password. Come on! I’m used to using a laptop for internet access, where I at least have a real keyboard to type naturally with. Apple programmers must be really DUMB! The LEAST they could do is offer a multi-choice list of standard questions to choose from, rather than asking you to type a long question, one letter at a time. I’m already regretting my purchase of an iPhone along with its expensive data plan, just to get a little bit of mobility access to the internet. I’ll do without any apps thank you.

Just got my iPhone and was trying to sync it with iTunes so I can download apps. Everything seemed to go fine and it connects to iTunes on my computer with no problems, but when I try to download something, it still says ‘Authorization failed. Please connect to iTunes.’ What did I not do right?

Joan, I am having the same problem, I definitally did not delete the app store or iTunes app from my iPod, but they have disapeared... Probably happened when I last synced it. Was around the time the new 3.0 update was released, (which I havnt downloaded yet) and the new iTunes update for pc. If anyone knows why this has happened or how I can fix it please let me know... I would hate to have to download music elsewhere wink thanks

What a piece of shit. Every time I try to get something with the appstore even the free apps I am asked for username/password. And no way to get one. A rare hard to find idiocy. Been using this iPhone shit for a few weeks what a joke. Will never spend a pennny on any of Their shit. Glad I didn’t pay for this iPhone joke. Still got to be a fool to be experimented upon with it. A fraction of only works. Puke. Be shitted upon subhuman geekonerd cattle.Been shitted upon and will be forever for such is the lot in life of the punked peasants impersonating wizards. Spread your asscheeks wider we have not had enough of your slave taxes. For that iPhone joke alone we ll raise them shortly.

By: Melissa

So the bottom line is that you can’t use the app store on the iPhone standalone. This is a problem for me since I don’t have a computer that I can use iTunes on. Dialup at home makes it impossible (tried) and blocked at work.

To delete an app you’ve downloaded that you no longer want…. tap and hold the icon until it shakes. A small x will appear in the left corner of that icon…tap the x to delete that app.

Hi Joe and Dimitris — if you read up at the previous comments, you’ll find that others encountered the same problem and they posted their solution. You may need to remove the apps from your iPhone via a sync with iTunes, re-authorize your account (by clicking on your account button at the top right of the iTunes Store screen), then reload your apps via sync. Hopefully this will correct the problem.

CrosshairDF2 — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 03:30:56 +0000

To remove the logged in account on your iPhone, try this: 1. Launch the Apps Store on your iPhone 2. From Featured, Categories or Top 25, scroll all the way down to verify that your account is still there. 3. Launch iTunes on your PC/MAC 4. Attach the sync cable to your iPhone. 5. Sign in and out of the iTunes store. 6. Detach the sync cable from your iPhone. 7. Relaunch the Apps Store on your iPhone. Close it first if you left it open from before. 8. From Featured, Categories or Top 25, scroll all the way down to verify that it is showing No Account.

By: Gordon

Found the solution on the Apple Forums.

First, uninstall all apps on your iphone via itunes on your computer. Then, re authorise your itunes under the store menu at the top. Then re-sync and install apps back.

Works for me

ematts — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:06:30 +0000

I talked to a "Genius" at the Apple Store and he said you have to sync to iTunes first before downloading from the Appstore.

Kind of an odd requirement if you ask me.

I’m also having trouble with my Apps just like budpaul. I try and open an app and after 2 seconds it goes back to the home screen. Tried restarting, syncing etc but no joy

any ideas?

Hey FJR,

Thanks for the advice on the apps.

I downloaded some of your recommendations.

I also downloaded ePocrates (drug info database, I work in pharmaceuticals) and PhoneSaber (it amused me for a few minutes).

LOL

Anyone have any other apps they really like? I’m sticking to the freebies for now, unless something really hot hits my radar.

I love the app store so far. I didn’t upgrade to the new iPhone… my old one works fine.

By: Remember...

Remember... — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 03:25:23 +0000

Remember that you must sync the app with your iTunes after you download it to your iPhone; otherwise, you will lose it/gone/done for.

By: ematts

ematts — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 02:40:33 +0000

I tried downloading a bunch of apps and it asks for User Account Information including my Password. Do I need to sync with iTunes first to do this?

My itunes login is my AOL email address and password but it doesn't seem to allow me to download the app directly onto the phone. Is an iTunes/computer connection needed first?

Essentially, I get stuck because the appstore doesn't recognize my login and password.

@idefix. I had this same problem for a while. I did a restart of the iphone (power down and then turning it back on) and it solved my problem.

My apps so far are

Paid: Band (pretty fun, although you probably need to have some understanding of music for it to be much fun for you, its nothing like guitar hero)

Moto racer (fun enough, great graphics, but gets a little old after a while).

Free:

Aurora Feint (A+++++++, addicting, beautiful graphics, takes advantage of almost all the features unique to the iphone and I've been playing it for quite a while and its more fun than the first time I played it)

Tap Tap revenge (fun, but needs more songs)

Cube Runner (fun, simple, smooth controls, great app)

T4twofree (tennis game) Lots of fun for two players. can also play one player by manipulating the accelorometer (ie try to see how long you can keep the ball in play).

blip solitare (meh, its okay)

iMaze (meh)

Pandora radio (A+, I love pandora on my computer, now its even better on my iPhone, great for discovering new music while also listening to old favorites)

AIM (well, its aim, works well)

Remote (A+, I have a nice setup where I take my airport express with airtunes, hook it up to my ipod hifi speakers and then use my iphone to control the music at parties, guests are uber impressed)

I have a few more, but not much to say about them.
