After Update, Iphone can't "find" many apps
OK, so I appreciate any help on this, but please do read this carefully, as I have tried lots of things to make this work, to no avail:
I bought an iPhone 4s and updated from my 4 by doing a backup of my 4 in itunes then restoring from backup on the 4s from that backup of my 4. Also did the IOS 5 update on the iphone 4
This is on the same computer, and with the same itunes account I have used forever
Most of my apps and songs transferred fine, but many many many others have the error "can't sync because can't find"...the apps and songs are listed in my libraries but either have exclamation points (music) or are grayed out (apps). I manually went into my phone and redownloaded them from the appstore by going to "purchased items/not on this phone" and redownloaded, so they are now ON MY PHONE.
Then I plugged my phone back in and hit "transfer purchases" (which, btw, I DID DO when I backed up my old phone in the first place..) and they are STILL not found! Even though they are ON my phone!
So just to investigate, I got to the app store from itunes and choose one of the "missing" apps. It won't even LET me redownload it from there, because it says "downloaded" instead of "buy!" so it KNOWS I have bought it, and it is ON my phone, and it still says it can't find it!!!! Help! Argh!
I called Apple's tech support and the guy just went on and on assuming I had not hit "transfer purchases' or that I had used a different account and would not believe that what I have stated above really happened! Very frustrating! Because now I know if I actually sync my phone the apps and songs will disappear and I'll have to manually redownload them from my phone again.
Hope someone has some insight. Thanks!
Please note that the old bluetooth stack will be removed during the first installer run.
Ensure that you install the new Bluetooth stack with the second run.
Check what the installer reports on the according windows in order to see if the installation was completed successfully.

My ipad 1 has never been updated and can't run many apps which makes it of not much use, how do I update it ? A simple step by step idiot proof guide would be best ! Can anyone help please ?
You can only update the iPad to iOS 5.1.1and you cannot go any higher. If you never updated that high, you can do so by using iTunes on your computer. You will have to connect the iPad to your computer with the cable and launch iTunes
You can read more here. Make sure that you read the section about using iTunes. The article starts off with using the Settings on the iPad for WiFi updates. That only works with the iPad 2 and higher that is already running iOS 5.

After updating to 8.3 so many apps dont work properly. Any body else got this?
After updating to 8.3 so many apps dont work properly. Any body else got this?
This is truthfully a WAG but here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -
Hello, I rarely come here for help but I am really puzzled...
Safari trackpad gestures font resize were suddenly disabled in 10.8.2 and I wonder if it was after a recent update?
Can't find way to re-enable. Checked everywhere (Touchpad, Accessibility, etc.).I had a similar problem with my mac. I connect via Airport and one day after I updated some 3rd party software I had the same experience with Software update. I also couldn't connect using Safari however Firefox worked fine and as expected the Network was hooked up and running fine. I didn't try adding an Administrator account which sounds like a good idea since I just did a backup of my system the night before. I cloned my mac from my external drive and everything worked fine. I believe that a system file was corrupt which was causing my problems. So if the new Administrator account doesn't work it's a system wide problem and you options would be to archive and install or using a backup if one is available. Good luck.

I had 5 videos that I could see in videos apps. But after your last OS update I can't find them on my iPhone. I can see them on the pc in itune when I connect the iPhone and go to videos directory.
When syncing, check the Movies/TV Shows Tab in the iPhone menu, and make sure ALL movies are synced (or select the ones you want to sync)

Where can I find the app "password Saver" by yonglin wang? while updating my iphone the app was dropped for some reason. I went to reload from my purchased apps and it is not available. The history shows my purchase but I can not find the app to reload. I've lost some critical info and need to retreive if possible. Any suggestions?
You tried what ? If the app is no longer available in the store (can you find it in the main part of the store ?) for re-downloading then you would need to have a copy of it somewhere e.g. on your computer's iTunes, on a backup of your downloads.

I am facing problems with mails after update iPhone 4S/io7. I have configured yahoo mail in iPhone 4S. When I click on refresh, it shows new mail downloaded but when I go inside inbox the new mail don't show up. Can anyone help me with this iOS 7 issue ?
Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on. -
IPhone 3G: iTunes 10.5.1 can't find the apps
Just tried syncing my iPhone 3G with the latest downloaded version of iTunes (10.5.1), and iTunes tells me it can't find the apps, so it's refusing to sync them. iTunes hasn't messed up the apps on the phone, and it has a list of the apps I have installed, but there is no "screen view" on the apps tab in iTunes. Anybody else seen this? Any clues as to how to fix it?
Thanks!OK - pretend I never asked. I just closed iTunes, disconnected the iPhone, reconnected it and hey presto, it all works again. I note, however, that it re-installed the USB device driver software when I plugged the iPhone back in. When I restarted the PC after installing the latest iTunes, I left the phone plugged in, which I guess was the cause.
Do I get points for answering my own question? -
When I updated the new version IOS5 and used icloud, some of the apps are missing, how can i find those apps (but i was not using my account to download some apps before). Please advise.
They are free to iOS 7 users who have activated their NEW device on Sept 1 2013 or after. They are NOT automatically free with iOS 7.
AirDrop is only compatible with iPad 4th gen and iPad mini. iPad 3rd gen and below do contain the necessary hardware for AirDrop. Also, AirDrop is only compatible between iOS devices. You cannot AirDrop between iOS device and Mac OS. -

I have an iPad1 which I have reset and am preparing to give to a kid. I now find that I can't reinstall many apps as they now seem to require IOS 6 or greater. This is IOS 5 and can't be upgraded. Is there a way to find the older versions of the apps?
One of these links may help:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -
