How to FIX PS4 Cannot Start Application (Corrupted Data, Locked, External HDD)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Are you having a problem on your PS4 where you cannot start the application because the content is locked, or there is corrupted data that requires your PS4s hard drives database to be rebuilt. Maybe there is an error with how your external hard drive is set up where not all the data was transferred correctly. From my experience, I've had this happen with sharefactory. If you can't start an application try restoring the licenses on your PS4, set PS4 as primary, delete corrupted data and rebuild PS4 database.

I need help my sharefactory doesn't let me start it. It shows start application but when I do it says content not found would you like to look through the store for it but when im in the store it says I own It and still doesn't let me start it
another method to temporarily bypass the "corrupted" screen is to open KZread first and then open the game you wanna play and so when the corrupted screen comes and tells you to close the application it just closes KZread and you can play the game :)

No matter how many times I delete and reinstall my games onto my external hard drive I still get cannot start application because it is corrupted and I haven't had my 2tb external hard drive for not even 5 months now
I disconnected my external hard drive to download the games for another hard drive and the message appeared after I re connected the original hard drive. The message appears on the screen after play a game for 5 minutes, the only option given is to close app and it says it’s corrupted, I doubt it’s corrupted because it still lets me play but will randomly kick me out showing that message
hello. any help would be appreciated. my ps4 was quitting out of games by itself. then restart fails to "cannot start application" or "game data is corrupt" or "please activate liscences" or "rebuild database" or the machine would just turn off without warning, or, using "restart" menu option, the "cannot start ps4" thing, not to mention the very first instance of everything being locked. but I fixed all that. did everything. even a factory reset. but a couple quick power outages later, it starts doing it sll over again. so again, I go through the motions and fix everything. losing all offline save files on all mine and my son's games. but NOW, mostly everything works, except my main game, online only. no disc. after a complete delete, re-download/install, immediately "cannot start the application". I dont get it. how can the download source net me a corrupted version? how can the ps4 just ..choose 1 random game to not want to activate?? I'm completely lost. 1 person asked me, "remove mods?" I'm on ps4...as far as I know, there are no mods.
Any ideas if my external hard drive doesn't get recognized by the playstation when I plug it in? I have been using it for saving games for a while and all of a sudden doesn't work.
Hi, I have a question. Im having the error code ce-34224-5 when playing some games saying that cannot continue running the application because the data is corrupted. Those games are installed in my external hard drive storage. The problem is in the internal hard drive or is just the extended storage? If I install the games in my ps4 (no usb storage) that will stop crashing my games? I used all methods: deleting and reinstalling the games, rebuild database, initialize console (Quick and full). I ask to know if I need to change the internal hard drive or is just the external one. Thank you
I need help. I have just got nba2k22 and it says my game is corrupted and I need to delete the app. I also have an external hardrive so if I follow this will I lose my myplayer and everything I’ve bought on it ?
When I rebuilt the database all my games deleted. Is that supposed to happen? I know I can just re-download them but I’m just trying to see if I’m on the right path of these steps
hey uh it didn’t seem to work, but i also didn’t have that cross anywhere on anyone of the MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS i had been having troubles with, which have been most of them other than minecraft, my ps4 has just been turning off while trying to launch fortnite, and call of duty cold war which just says “cannot install” for an update file. idk what to do. help.
Thanks a ton man. Rebuilding the database worked for me. Bloodborne said it was corrupted and it made me very sad, because I had finally beaten the second boss in the game. I thought I lost all of my data but because of your video, I have it all back now. Thank you

The thing is I had a ps4 before years ago, lost it, then just this year got a new one. I still had my acc and all my purchased games in my acc etc, but except one. Fortnite. My little sister has been wanting to play it, and I haven't downloaded it on this ps4 at all, cuz it's new and stuff, and it says it's downloading but it's not? Like I haven't touched the game at all and only tried searching it up and it says it's downloading, but when I click it says "cannot find application, check ps store?" I press the store button and it just brings me to it's page and allows me to click "Start" then says the exact same thing. "Cannot find application, check ps store?" over and over again. I have tried literally everything on this website and NOTHING has worked. Like idk what my ps4 has with fortnite but it's annoying. I also do NOT have any connected usbs or anything, just a charger and the cords in the back.
It worked thanks a lot man

So how can i use a new extternal hard drive when my ps4 thinks all my games are ALREADY DOWNLOADED on my current external drive‽??????????? I'm going to buy a new one. But if psn thinks I've already downloaded it and I can't access it. What do I do???????

Bro isn’t it weird that my PS4 been having problems ever since the ps5 came out like I’m really about to switch to Xbox bc I’m tired of watching videos when nothings working
This is something weird(or is it). I have a PS4 .I've had the MK XL since 2019. I haven't played it in the last year and when I did a few days ago, it wouldn't load up. Kept giving me the Corrupt error 30005 I followed some 'Fixes' from KZread, then it gave me Cannot start application corrupted data etc. So, I put other games in and they worked fine. I deleted all saved games(even if I lost my Yearly progressions). I did a 'Safe Mode ' Option 5 'Rebuild Database;. After all that, the game rebooted like I just got it, all the frills and bells and whittles. The difference her is that now all the characters excetp 2 can be played and the 'Online' and 'Krypts' titles can't be selected. They are in red. I cant play one player ,two players but can't get online with it. I think on source said , 'its because the game is still downloading somethings', but after a day?
