Minecraft was working fine until I updated the iOS to 7.0.4. It promts me for Apple ID and Password and after I enter them, the app just shuts down. I also couldn't transfer the app to my iTunes library. The message says the computer is not authorized but it is. TIA.
iPad, iOS 7.0.4
Thanks for the reply. I already tried steps 1-3. Can't do 4 because the app won't transfer to my library. I guess that's the root of the problem - I keep getting the error message saying "Minecrafe PE" on the ipad could not be transferred to my library because I'm not authorized for it on this computer. It tells me to choose Store->Authorize This Computer. But I've already done that several times.
Delete it directly from the iPad.
Hold the app icon until it wiggles then tap the "x" in the top left corner.
or
Settings > General > Usage > Select Minecraft > Delete App
but then would I have to purchase it again since it's not in my library? I'd also lose the associated data,like what was built before, wouldn't I?
It should still be in your purchased apps. You can check first:
Open the App Store app > Updates > Purchased > make sure Mincraft is in the list
You can download it directly to your library also:
Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store on your computer and click Purchased in the Quick Links section on the right > sign in if prompted > Apps
As far as the data, I am pretty sure (but not definite) that Minecraft data resides on their server not on the device. Do you sign in with a username to use it? If so chances are good that the data is on their server. Either way, if you backup first then you will be able to restore if need be. Although the saved data will do no good if you can't open the app.
