App update hung

Internet connection went down in the middle of an app update. Status shows as "installing," but nothing happening. Have forced the App app to quit and have shut down iPad, both to no avail.
How to get update process to restart?

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
- Last, restore from backup.

IPad 2/iOS 5.1 app updates hung in a 'waiting' state

After I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1, I cannot update my apps. There are hung in a 'waiting' state. Any ideas how to fix this? This is the first time I've run into this. I've upgraded to 5.0, 5.0.1 with no problems whatsoever. Now 5.1 fails to update apps all the time.

For the last few days, since the worldwide launch of the New iPad, Apple's servers have been overwhelmed. Give it a few days to settle down as a more reasonable number of users access the store.

App updates hung-up, can't use them

On my first generation iPad about a dozen apps were to begin updated, but the process got interupted. Now those apps appear as though they are ready to update, but they won't, and they are usable. Can't update them, can't delete them. They are zombies.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sometimes touching the icon that is in the process of updating will restart the update.
If this does not work have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

ITunes freezes downloading app updates

I'm running 10.5 (141) on my iMac running Lion and am running into a problem where iTunes will constantly freeze when I download my app updates. If I download updates individually, there doesn't seem to be a problem and if I turn off simultaneous downloads, the probelm will be less frequent but it always seems to happen if I have a bunch of apps to download. The scenario is this, I will click on "Download All Free Updates" and it will start downloading away. Things will be fine for a while but after a few minutes of downloading, I'll notice that suddenly the progress bars stop moving and the estimated times start going up. At this point, iTunes is effectively hung. I can sometimes press a few buttons like "pause all" and this will pause all the non-active downloads but not the ones in progress. Even though I can get to the Finder, I cannot quit iTunes, force quit iTunes or restart my system. If I try to force quit iTunes from the dock, that will usuually cause the dock to freeze. Each time this happens, my only recourse is a hard reboot. I've tried having Activitiy Monitor running and a Termimal window open at the same time but when this happen, both of those apps hang at the same time so I'm not able to type any commands or quit any processes.
This is any annoying problem because each time I do a hard reboot, I risk corrupting my iTunes library. I've had similar problems with iTunes in the past freezing but those were random. This always happens during app downloads. I had hoped that this kind of thing would stop once iTunes was a true Cocoa application but it still seems to bring the whole system down whenever it has a major problem. My guess is that it's crashing some network process and that in turn in hanging the whole system.
Luckily, I don't actually need to update the apps on my computer and can do it directly from my iDevices but it's frustrating that this problem exists. Any ideas?

I can't believe that no one answered Eric D's querry! It has been over a year! Come on Apple iPad users, help us out.
I have a similar problem that arrose recently. I have had my iPad for a couple of years, no problem. But recently, I notied that I had a number of apps that had free upgrades so I began to download them. ArtRage is one of my important apps as I use it on my iPad andI have ArtRage Pro on my iMac. However, when I attempted to download the latest upgrade, ArtRage froze. The app is greyed out on the iPad and it can't be used and I can't download the upgrade either. When I try to upgrade, it goes to "waiting ..." then, I receive an error window, "Unable to Download Application." ArtRage" could not be downloaded at this time: with a "Done" and "Retry" button. If I hit the Retry button, eventually the same error window reappears. This is a Catch 22! Moreover, the ArtRage App is frozen so I can't even use the previous version.
I checked with ArtRage help and they say this is an Apple problem (or a Appstore problem). I now have my SketchBook Pro app frozen like this also. These are two of my most importat and most used apps. I need help.
Just to make things clear, I was able to download Dragon a few minutes ago. So this problem does not effect all the apps I need to download.

Apps updates/downloads saved in wrong folder

Hi,
I have just transferred my iTunes library to my new NAS (WD MyCloud). I simply copied over my entire iTunes folder from the iMac internal hard drive to the NAS, deleted all the content from iTunes and added everything back from the new location/folder. I also changed the iTunes Medial folder location in the Advanced Preference settings.
Everything seems to work fine with the exception of the App updates/downloads. Whenever I update an existing App or download a newone it will be saved in the old folder on the internal hard drive of my iMac.
This drives me crazy...please help!
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien.

I think you mean +command shift s+ (Save As…).
When you *Save As…* you need to choose where to save your initial document, after that just saving will save it in the right spot.
Inside the *Save As…* dialog box you are free to navigate to other locations either within the column view or by clicking on the folder name at the top of the window, which will reveal the sets of folders enclosing the one you are in ie higher up the hierarchy. To go up the list, just scroll down the menu and let go at the folder you want to move to.
Also on the left of the *Save As…* dialogue box is your sidebar of frequent locations, you can click on those. To add your own folders to your Sidebar drag in their icon in Finder.
Also there is a *Search field* to the right of the folder name in the *Save As…* dialogue box, where you can look for folders or files to move to.
To help you move around more and have more choices at your finger tips, try:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7214/default-folder-x
*Default Folder X* is an enormous assist if you don't quite get the computer file system. It lets you click outside the Save dialogue on the folder you want to save to and it jumps there.

Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

HP ePrint iOS app no longer finds Photosmart C4780 after app update

I have an HP Photosmart C4780 connected through WiFi to my network but sadly it's not supported by AirPrint on iDevices.
So, I was using HP ePrint Home & Biz iOS app (version 4.1) which was very useful for me as it found the printer and allowed me to print from my iPad/iPhone.
Today I updated the app on my iPhone to version 5 (now simply named "HP ePrint" on the App Store) and after the update, the new version doesn't find my Photosmart C4780 anymore. I did the Activation thing on the iPhone, as it was requested to refresh the list of printer on my network in the All tab, but after Refresh no printer is found.
Still I have the old 4.1 on my iPad (and hopefully in my iTunes library) and the printer is located, I assume, through mDSN as it shows the name specified for this setting.
So, question is: Did you dropped support for Photosmart C4780 on 5.0 release of HP ePrint iOS app? If so, why did't you informed this appropriately on the app update text description in the App Store? A message like "some printers may not be supported anymore" would have been helpul.
If HP ePrint should find Photosmart C4700 series printers and this is an issue, how should we proceed from here?
Thanks.

WilliamBPS,
I was not informed that support was removed from the app for certain printers. It may have been lost in the transition to the new updated app. I will deffinitly pass this information along as it is very important that the app supports as many printers as it can. I'll go ahead and take note of your printer model. If I find anything out about this, I'll try to give you an update in this thread.

If you want to use your current ID you will either have to provide a credit card or redeem an iTunes gift card. Otherwise you can create a new ID without a credit card to purchase free apps by following this exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

App update available from iTunes, but not from iOS ?

Found earlier today that one app had an update available on iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) ... while it wasn't available from the app store on my iPhone. The iOS app Store kept showing the old version of that app as the latest. Had to sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer the update. How can that happen? ... and no my App Store app on iOS is not completely broken, as it keeps giving me updates for all other apps ... so far. Meaning that my Apple ID isn't a problem either.

On the iPod open the App Store app > Updates > Purchased then redownload. If nothoing shows make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID that the purchase was made with:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?

Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
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.

My Itunes update hung up and wouldn't complete. I had to power cycle the computer. Now Itunes will not open.

My Itunes update hung up (for an hour) and wouldn't complete. I had to power cycle the computer. Now Itunes won't open / start.

In iTunes go to the Edit menu, then preferences. Click on the "Devices" tab. In there you will see a device backups section. If there is nothing there then you did not backup to your computer first. It is also possible that you were backing up to iCloud before updating. That is harder to check with an iPhone that is logged into your account.

During an app update it froze and has said waiting for 2 days and I am unable to open or delete

During an app update it froze and has said waiting for 2 days and I am unable to open or delete. How do I recover my app?

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Duplicate App Updates - Shared Library

I have my iTunes library under Users/Shared/iTunes Media for sharing with multiple users on one Mac. Everything seems to working fine other than app updates. I noticed under each user we each have the same amount of updates 94. I updated them under my account and they were all updated and downloaded, but under the other users it still shows 94 updates. So I updated them under another user. I see that they are duplicating the downloaded updates in Mobile Applications. I am trying to find where iTunes stores it's update location so they all share the same database for the updates. There is nothing located in Library.xml or library.itl from what I can see.
Thanks

I'm new to Apple and that stuns me. It seems like a basic function (Microsoft has had it figured out for over a decade). I have thousands of songs, want to play a specific 10, and have to select them one-by-one??!!!! This makes me want to return the iPad I just bought. Thanks for the reply.

Apple ID blocked on iPhone app updates, Mastercard no longer recognized

All the sudden my Mastercard (canada) is no longer recognized. I checked with my bank and everything seems to be fine from their side.
Every time I type the security code, it gives me the message that " this card cannot be used with the itunes store".
After several attempts, I gave up and modified my account to payment "None" option.
They don't want my money: ...fine
Now what is more annoying is that I can't update my apps anymore on my iPhone. I get the message "Apple ID blocked". However, I am able to visualize my ID on the iPhone. I modified my password. Nothing helped. I tried another ID I have from having lived for many years in Europe. All the time my Canadian ID pops up on the App update function with the message "Apple ID blocked".
Can anybody help with that? If this continues, I am seriously thinking about legal action as I paid for these apps and now I can't access up-to-date functions for a software which I own. Any ideas if there are some consumer defense organizations out there to help with that.
I am seriously fed up with all the time lost with this problems (3 days spending my time working on this problem now!!!!)

So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner. When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first. The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app. HELP?
