  • How can I get the apps store on my iPad2 after updating to ios7

  • App Store badges still showing after update

    Just updated to iOS 8.1 and after syncing my iPhone and iPad there are still badges showing for the number of updates available on the AppStore icon. When I open the App Store on the device it does not show any updates available. In the past when this happened all I did was open the App Store and tap updates. A message came up telling me all apps have been updated and the badge disappeared. Now it is stuck on a number and won't change.

    I had the same problem and submitted a feedback report. Until the bug is fixed I just deleted the app, then went to "Purchased" and re-downloaded the app and the badge disappears.

  • App Store dock icon not displaying updates

    I keep the App Store icon in my dock but when there is an application update I never see the red badge on the edge of the icon to tell me if I have any updates.  I did have this before I upgraded to Lion.  If I go the App Store itself, the number does display on the "Updates" icon at the top of the page.  What good is even having the dock icon if it doesn't work.  That would be like not having Mail display the number of new message in my inbox.

    Larry...
    MIght be corrupted Dock preferences.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    Move the com.apple.dock.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. See if that helped.
    FYI.. when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

  • Can't open Preview/Calendar/App store/iBooks/Terminal/Mail after updated to Mavericks

    After I updated to Mavericks, I can not open Preview, Dictionary, App Store, iBooks, Keynotes, Photobooth, Quicktime, Contact, Calender, etc...
    Mail keeps crashing everything I opened it.
    iTunes and Safari is still working. Can someone tell me what's happening and how to solve my problem? Thanks a lot!
    BTW, I remeber this symptom happened after I used Cleanmymac.

    Evi, I have the same problem. When I first updated to Mavericks, everything is OK, but I use Cleanmymac too, It is may be because of Cleanmymac, it cleaned about 1G files.
    Now I can not open App Store, how can I download and reinstall Mavericks?

  • My App Store doesn't seem to update any of my apps and can't download either.

    Hello I have an iPhone 5s and every time time I try to update am app, it is stuck in the endless circular motion and never moves to the update part. The same thing happens when I try to download any app. It just continues to go on forever in the endless circular motion next to the app on the App Store. I've tried resetting my settings but they don't work. Any help will be great thanks.

    Howdy AnthonyL98,
    Is this issue isolated to just the App Store and not the iTunes Store or iBooks Store?
    If your iPhone is having issues connecting with the store, please see
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Although you are not getting an error message, we need to know you can connect okay.
    There's a section for Getting help with past purchases here to check out.

    And although these are not OS updates, make sure you have space to update.

  • App Store and Mail crash after update to Mountain Lion

    I installed Mountain Lion on an empty partition on my HD and then used Migration Assistant to bring over my user account.
    I can boot into ML but the App Store and Mail crash when launched.
    Has anyone else seen this, or better yet, have a solution?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    I have noticed the same thing on my MAC.  Mail has become very "clunky"- Before Mountain Lion, whenever I clicked on a msg or a function (delete), it would respond immediately.  With Mountain Lion there is an unacceptable hesitation.  What is going on with this latest update?

  • [Solved] Gnome 3 Shell - Icons Missing After Update

    After my last update session, some icons went missing in Gnome. Even more unsettling, only some are missing. From what I can tell, my application icons haven't gone anywhere, but things such as minimize, restore, close, etc. are 404. Here's a photo to explain: https://vps.nullh.net/uploads/gnome-icon-issue.png I also noticed nvidia is included in the last update. I searched the forums, but all of the other problems seemed to be different problems (e.g. application icons were all bunched up/missing, desktop icons "missing", etc.) I feel like I should probably have more icons in the folders, too, but I haven't looked in there before the problem to be sure. Also, Alt+F2 "r" doesn't make a difference, the shell reloads but the icons are still AWOL. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.

  • Camera icon missing after updating to ios 5

    After updating to ios 5, the quick access camera icon is missing on the lock screen, I cannot access the camera unless I unlock phone. Has anyone else had this issue? I thought this was supposed to be one of the upgrade features?

    Yes. Mine too. Infact, along with Quick Access Camera Icon, my phone is also missing FaceTime and Imessage and Icloud (if there is any) icons. The settings, however, for facetime and imessage looks "Activated" because it doesn't say "waiting for activation" anymore when I eneter my password. it reads "Your phone number and email address will be shared……"

  • Link icons missing after updating to 18.1.0 Illustrator

    Hi,
    After updating to 18.1.0 of Illustrator CC, I the link icons to assets in a file are now longer visible in the links palette, whether embedded or linked.  Is this a bug or something I can fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi SuperSimes,
    Thanks for posting the snapshot. I am able to reproduce this issue at my end also. I have updated the Illustrator Engineering team about this issue and they are looking into this.
    Till then you can try to re-size (maximize using the gripper at the bottom right of the panel) the "Links" panel so that all the embedded/linked files get listed in the Links Panel.
    Please let me know if you have any queries regarding this.

    Go to Solution.

    When you get a chance, do a battery pull.  When the red light goes away on the front of the phone, hold down the back button the entire time while the phone is booting up.  When the boot is complete, the phone will enter safe mode.

    After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

    I have posted this quite a few times and some of these suggestions have worked for others in the past. See if anything works for you.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. You can also dete apps in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
