Hi Rhetorical,
We're sorry to hear that you're having issues using the time lapse app on your NEX6 camera. Since you said that you haven't tried uninstalling the app, we do recommend doing so and installing the latest version of it compatible with your camera. Since you have purchased it before, you won't need to pay to download the app again.
For further assistance, we recommend contacting the Sony Support Center in your region. Please visit our Sony Global Web site for information at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution". Thanks_Mitch
