I have several apps that are not updating, they are stuck saying "waiting".

Are you downloading music?
Check by going to iTunes (on iDevice) > downloads and then remove the one that is trying to download, this will then make the others download and when they are finished, the apps will update/install

I have an Ipad 2 and have about 20 apps that will not update, How can I delete these?

I have some apps that will not update on my IPad 2. They say they are installing, but Installing is grey..not black, and they have been like this for several weeks. I cannot find out how to finish the updates or delete them. Can someone suggest a solution? Thanks, Ann

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

IPhoto: I have several photos that will not open in the edit mode. They also will not open to a screensaver.

I have Version 10.6.8 and iPhoto 9, versiono 8.1.2.
Two questions:
1) I can't find the 9.0 to install so I can then update thru 9.3...
2) I have several pictures that will not open in the edit mode. There is just a blank screen when I attempt to open them. I cannot export them to the desktop either. Message is: Unable to create/Users/(my name)/Desktop

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

TS1702 I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three won't sync. Computer is authorized, I've reinstalled apps, nothing works. Any ideas?

I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three would not sync. I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck. Any ideas?

All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch. No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing. Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

I have apps that will not update that have been like that for a while.. why wont they updat?

If the icon exists on your screen, just do a long press on that icon and when the small X appears on top of the app, press it and it will delete it. As long as this is not an Apple app, since those cannot be deleted.

I can no longer download apps that I buy. They are on my computer, they will no longer sync onto my phone. Yes, I DO know how to do it. They no longer will go onto my phone.

Did some searches, but did not come up with anything regarding your specific issue (the original one, the grey 'waiting' problem is quite common). If no other ofrum users chime in, it is indeed time to contact Apple / iTunes Store support.
If you have not yet one so, Try to Reset your device. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
You could also try to re-download one or two apps, just to see if anything changes. Log in to the iTunes Store, go to the Purchases section and download from the list of past purchases or free apps.
Sorry I wasn't of better help. Good luck.

While notes, reminders and calendar are working fine, keynote (beta) and pages (beta) are not responding, they are sticking. What should I do? I would appreciate help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

I am trying to import movie files into to iMovie. They are home videos so I use handbrake and VLC to put them onto the computer and convert them to MPEG-4 files. I successfully imported two of the videos but the others are not working, they are all MPEG-4

I have songs in my iTunes App that will not play. It keeps saying that this computer is not authorized to play would you like to authorize it. I would but its asking me to authorize an account that was changed. What do I do????

I have songs in my iTunes Application that will not play. I keeps saying that this computer is not authourized to play name of song would you like to authourize it. The problem is its the old account I had and that has been changed. How am I going to authorize these songs when this account no longer exists.

I posted about this yesterday -- it happened to me, and the solution was incredibly simple. An Apple tech guy had me delete my SC Info Folder, located on my XP in Application Data.
Here is my post:

Since updating to ios 5.0.1, I have 9 apps that won't update. Any suggestions?

I updated to ios 5.0.1 and since then, I have 9 apps that are no longer usable. I get the message "Unable to Download Application", lists the app and said it could not be downloaded at this time. Tried several times over several days to retry with the same result.

My recommendation would be to go to iTunes on the computer, under LIBRARY find the APPS tab and at the bottom it should say 9 Available Updates. Click on this, then you can update them from iTunes. To get them on your phone, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync (if you have iCloud set up).

I have one app that does not show up in Launchpad

I have one app, the game Diablo II, that still shows up in my Applications folder as it always has but does not show up in Launchpad when I pull that up in Lion. All of my other apps are there in Launchpad... but not this one. Any idea how I make an app that I can see in my Applications folder show up in launchpad also?

I have a hung up app that will not update or delete that drains the battery. How do you fix this?

I chose to update a app. It says waiting under the apps icon but will not update. I click on it to pause the update but it still drains the battery. I try to delete the app but it won't let me. What can I do?

Try the power off. Press home button and the on/off button at the same time for a few seconds. Then slide the tab to power off.
Then press the on/off again after a few seconds. Once it powers on fully, tap and hold on the application to see if it will start wobbling with a x on the corner, if yes, delete it.
If no, wait for someone else to suggest a better idea.
