10.6.7 update deleted my apps + unusable
Hi !
I never had a problem with a macos update on any MacBook pro.
After the update to 10.6.7 my Mac is unusable ... Here is what happens:
It boots up normally
I can login
Apps like adium and iTunes that load themselves run fine, but I can't interact with them
When somedody sends me an im typing on the keyboard doesn't produce any text in adium
I can't switch to any other app, as the one in the foreground always stays in the foreground.
If I click on any app in the dock I get "you Can't open application(null) because it may be damaged or incomplete"
I know this looks pretty bad.... Any other idea than re-install???
Thanks

Did you use the "special update" version of 10.6.7 for your machine?
If you just used software update, then it "should" have pulled in the right version of the update. But, I have read in a few places here were software update may "not" have pulled in the correct one.
You might try manually downloading and reinstalling:

App Store update delete my apps
I have updated some apps through App Store but then some of those apps were deleted after updated.
But those apps still show in App Store as finish updates. When I press open, nothing open.Hey Pagevc86,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you might have some apps that seem to be stuck on "Waiting." The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,

After updating to iOS5, none of my apps are showing up. any way to restore without downloading all the apps again?
Not sure I was clear in previous post. I had 2 blank pages on my apps screen after I finihsed the process. I wondered where the heck my apps went. Then I remembered by son telling me to "scroll over the blank pages and you might find your apps. Don't know why they created a couple of blank pages but there they were! Good luck.

How do I delete and Apple ID ? I had a friend transfer all my stuff from one phone to another using his computer. I can't update or download apps, his ID pops up and asks for his password instead of mine! Ugh so frustrated right now!
You can't delete an Apple ID. Furthermore, everything you transferred is tied permanently to your friend's Apple ID. You do not legally own that software. If you want that software for yourself, then you need to purchase it using your Apple ID.

i just purchased more storage and deleted some apps and my iphone4 and it still will not allow me to update to ios7
The iCloud storage is meant for your backup, you do not get more space on iPhone.
You can by connecting to computer iTunes for update then you will not have space problem -
I have bought an iMAC second hand but when updates to purchased (not by me) Apps I cannot download the updates as it is asking for the original owners password. How can I amend this or could I delete the Apps and download new ones in place under my email
If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

I keep getting updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update it starts the process but then a message pops up that says the download cannot be done at this time. I have had to delete a few apps because of this. I have also signed out and signed back into my account and turned my phone on and off and still does the same thing. Help!
Hi tmcrae
First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
Hope that helps

I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?
Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app) -
My youtube app is no longer working on my iphone 3. Others, with the same phone, are not having the problem. It works occassionally, but it's unpredictable. I've updated phone software, deleted the app, re-downloaded the app, turned the phone off and on...nothing.
You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

How do I get more space to update my iPhone 4 to iOS7? I am currently on iOS 6.1.3 with 6.3 GB capacity, 1.4 GB available AFTER deleting all apps, photos, music, and videos, and I need 3.8 GB.
Update using iTunes on your computer. The space requirement does not apply because of how the process works via iTunes as opposed to over the air.

My ipad automatically tried to update skype. It has been installing for 3 days and the message waiting is on the icon. I am unable to delete skype to try and re install. I have gone to the licence page but there is nowhere that I can agree the terms as it is still trying to load.
delete the app on itunes (on PC) then download it again.
