alright so my old iphone generally worked flawlessly, but the power/sleep button was flush with the body and difficult at times to push.

so i returned it to the apple store and got it exchanged no problem at all.

now i have a new iphone and physically its amazing, button is great and everything. all the standard apps work great but every time i install another one, none of them run. and i mean none. i have no success with any apps i have used before. i have done a stock restore at least 5 times, and still nothing

any ideas?

by none i just mean any apps from the app store. the ones that come with it are all fine. anything from the app store fails though

just through the app store, nothing special. doing everything as i did before.

ive turned it on and off a few times.

and done the factory restore a few times.

installed apps from on my computer and the unit itself.

well after a LONG LONG time on the phone with apple here is what they had me do.

before calling them i had multiple hard resets. held the home button for six seconds (as instructed not sure what this does).

uninstalled all apps than added one.

Finally,

the working thing was to delete all apps on iphone and all apps in itunes.
sync the phone and computer.
disconnect the iphone from the computer
install the app in itunes on my computer
sync again (installing the app from my computer to the iphone)
unplug from computer.

boom can download apps from app store and everything works great. if anyone or you run into this problem there you go, another thing to try :D

have no idea why or how this works after restoring my iphone several times
