Almost every time i unlock my iPhone many apps appear to be installing simultaneously

Almost every time i unlock my iPhone many apps appear to be installing simultaneously, and after a few seconds the "install" or something like that and i can use them again.
This happens on my iPhone 4s and iPad 2, both with 5.1
I think this is happening since 5.1, has someone the same problem?

Hi
It seems you are using the same account in both devices. In Settings --> Store, check if Apps is on or off.
if it is on, just turn it off.

How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone?

How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4 and at least 95% of the time I unlock it, some apps act as though they are reinstalling. It only lasts for about 3 seconds if that but it makes me feel like something is wrong with it. Does anyone else have this problem??

Could you explain what you mean by this? What is happening that makes you think they're reinstalling?

Settings>Store...make sure you are signed in. If not, sign in. If you are signed in, tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in.

I see you posted this in BASIC phones - what phone do you have? Perhaps it's not capable of running the apps you are trying to download? Maybe there's not enough memory to install the app?

My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?

Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

Is there a way of wiping ALL Safari data, i.e. restoring Safari ? I think my Safari has a virus..as every time I open it, a web page called 'search quick' comes up. Its bombarded my Safari with constant pop up adverts almost every time I click!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Every time I connect my iphone to my applemac it doesn't automatically sync and download my photos as it once did. The only option it gives me is to "quit" Im too scared to download software as last ime I tried it wiped everything and I had to restore my

Every time I plug my iphone into my MacBook, it refuses to sync and download photos etc. This has been happening for a month. I tried to upgrade itunes yesterday and ended up in a mess. It wouldn't stay connected to internet, then the iphone was left with a screen with the 'itunes icon of 2 notes in a blue circle, then under it the white connection lead". Each time I plugged it back in to my lap top, it refused internet access. A friend "restored" my iphone from scratch today and I have lost all my contacts. My photos are still there which is amazing. I now am trying to download my precious photos so I dont loose them again. It still refuses to sync and only offers me "quit" as an option. My phone in 3G and I have a MacBook lap top. Any help very much appreciated. I rang the apple help line but I dodn't really understand what he told me. I am almost computer illiterate (too old to understand all this technology). Thank you.

When was the last time you did an update on your iphone? That might be the problem. BTW which OS are you running on your MacBook?

I am SO tired of "music" being screwed up every time I take a picture / and almost every time I send a text (even worse if I send a photo as a text).

I like to listen to books on my iPhone. I like music. It'd be SO NICE if I could continue on with the same story or the same song (or even the same artist / album) if I get interrupeted with a text or I decide to take a photo and send it to somebody. It seems like almost every time I take a photo and send it, I end up with a new new song playing. Or, if I'm in the middle of an audio book, suddenly have music playing when I turn back on the sound. I know I'm not the only one having this problem. I happened to mention it to somebody yesterday and she knew EXACTLY what I was talking about. She also expressed her frustration. I'm running iOS 7. I didn't ask her what she's running. Anybody else want to chime in? Any fixes that anybody knows about?

Acrobat X Not Reponding for 30 seconds almost every time I open a file

Acrobat X Not Reponding for 30 seconds almost every time I open a file
The title says it all.
This happens on 4 computer systems, including:
Windows 8 64-bit desktop, FRESH INSTALL
Windows 8 32-bit laptop, FRESH Install
Windows 7 64-bit desktop, REINSTALLED AND PROBLEM PERSISTS
Windows 7 32-bit laptop
I have read long forum postings of people having this problem on many different versions of Acrobat and Reader and tried many of the purpored solutions, none worked.
I would like some expert advice, but more importantly why hasn't Adobe investigated and solved this widely reported phenomenon that has gone on for years? There is no way I would upgrade to Acrobat XI (which some people report has this problem) unless Adobe acknowledges and fixes this.
Where do I report this issue to Adobe?

no idea what IPM is. not in the help file. any way, who cares? this is a bug that needs to be reported. where does one do that?

Almost every time my daughter FaceTimes me, another person answers and he is getting very annoyed. I have checked my settings and can't figure out why this is happening.

Is she facetiming your phone number or email address, b/c email address should not do that.. Was there an old iPhone associated with your number or email? I've seen texts show up on long "deactivated" devices..

Every time I sync my iphone 4 with itunes my ring custom ring tones change. I have 7 custom ring tones in itunes. One time it will load 1 custom ring tone the next it may be 3 then the next it is one again. The last time it gave me 4 of the 7.

Every time I sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes the number of my custom ring tones change. I have 7 custom ring tones listed. The first time it will load 1 of the ring tones and the next time it will load 3, The next time it will be back to 1. If I have assigned one of the custom ring tones and it does not get loaded it goes back to the ring tone that came with the phone. The last time itunes gave me 4 of the 7 so I have not tried to sync it again. I am using iTunes 10 (10.4.10), and windows 7.
Has anyone else had this problem??
Any ideas to what I need to do??

Have you ever had all 7 of them synced before? Are these ringtones you made yourself? Is there a chance they could exceed 30 seconds in length? Is there a chance you have moved the original file location on the computer? May need the answers to a couple more questions to try and determine an answer.

TS1717 I got this message every time i connect my iphone to itunes.. said 'iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later.' so please help me to solve out this problem..

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you also worked through the following document?
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync. Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes. When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it. Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone. After selecting your apps then you can sync. Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

iTunes states " There's a problem with your Iphone, please contact apple service center " Also i took my iphone to a local service man and he told me the IMEI code has been corrupted and there's nothing that can be done about it. Please help, if you have any solution.
Thank you
