App update not working: Does not even begin to update

Since a day or two ago, I am having problems with my app updates on the iPad. According to the App Store, I have four apps that need to update. However, when I open the App Store and go to the updates tab, it does not list the apps that need to be updated. It also does not display the button to push to update the apps.
The problem is different from the others that I have read about online. It is not that it is stuck in updating mode. It does not even enter the update mode. All I get is the notice that I have apps that need updating.
I have done a reset to original settings, but that did resolve the problem.
Anyone else with same issue? Any suggestions for how to solve this?
A.

I still have the same problem.I sent email to Apple support but still have not gotten a reply. My iPad App Store App now says I have 12 updates but when I open the app and go to update section it is totally blank. This has been going on for the last five days. I cannot go to work around where you go to iTunes on your computer and update and then transfer that to your iPad because my computer has been out for more than a month which should have nothing to do with the matter. Thus I still cannot update my iPad apps.
Anyone else have same problem or a suggestion?
Thank you

Do you have a wifi signal? In order for the wifi only iPad to get any location fix, it needs to be connected to a wifi node - it's only way to determine locations is by looking up the wifi networks hardware address in Apple's wifi node location database of approximate locations (as mentioned already, it has no GPS chipset to use GPS location data).

Try deleting it and reinstalling it.
you can also try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so until it reboots and see if that helps.

Many apps crashing, not even launching, a flash and gone...

My iPad(1) ran down on battery last night and I started charging it again this morning for a short spell. Got it up to about 8% and then when I went to use it, launching Pages, the app seemed to start for a split second, almost taking over the screen as it does and then it flashed goes back to the home screen. That was happening to all apps, except for the native iPad apps that came with the device. I haven't tried every single app, but pretty much every app that's not native crashes. Whenever I attempt to launch an app, its icon does appear in the taskbar at the bottom if I double click the home button.
I stopped using the device and waited until I could fully charge it. I gave it about 50% and then checked just to see, but it did the same thing. Then i shut it down and charged it all the way up to 100%. After all that, nothing changed. When I connect to my Mac, I can see the device and most of its contents. I can't see all of my Pages and Keynote docs, but I can see the music and what looks like all Goodreader files.
Uh...help??

If itunes can't see the docs you want and Goodreader doesn't have them either, I think you are out of luck, but...
Go to itunes on the computer, select Edit, Preferences, Devices tab. You will see a list of all your backups. Look at the dates and Device in this list and see if any of the backups will get you the documents you want.
If you think they are in a backup listed, you can restore that backup to your ipad and harvest them.
(In a gentle tone...)
Also, on your calendar app on your computer and ipad, add a scheduled sync, reoccuring, so losing files doesn't happen again.
Good luck !!

CS4 Design Premium Student Edition will not even begin the installation process

Help!
I have bought CS4 Design Premium Student Edition, I received the serial number okay, tried the installation process but stupidly hadn't quit a programme fisrt. I tried the process again but the SetUp window says 'Loading SetUp' and I get an 'Installer Alert' window pop up with nothing in it. I can't quit the Installer and have to Force Quit.
I've tried the CS4 Clean Script and it finds nothing to remove. Having spoken to Tech Support I tried CS3 Clean Script and it removed certain items, but the CS4 disc still won't work.
I have Photoshop 7 installed, would that be interfering?
What else can I remove before re-trying the installation of CS4?

I have tried shutting down and restarting and just a simple restart.
The guy from tech support didn't tell me to do that when I was trying the clean script stuff the other day but I've tried it sonce and there's still no joy.
Does it sound like I've got something preventing the installation process from starting if I get a blank 'Installer Alert' window appear?
Calling Adobe Support is such a pain. No answer for hours....

Leopard will not even begin to install on G5

I am trying to install Leopard on my Power Mac G5. I am currently running 10.4.9 I have 2 hard drives installed - a Mac and a Hitachi. I have the retail Leopard install disc.
When I insert the Leopard install disc I don't get beyond step ONE! I double click on 'restart' and the Leopard install disc spins away in the DVD drive but after letting it run for 1.5 hours all I have is a gray screen with the pointer in it. The pointer moves with the mouse so this isn't a true freeze - I think you might call it a 'hang'. I.E. I never get to the 'choose location' screen. I have verified the permissions on my hard drive.
Can anyone tell me what's up?
THANKS to all.

Are you sure you meet the minimum memory requirements?
You must have 512 MB of memory installed or you will not be able to install Leopard.
I went through this with my Sister-In-Laws iMac G5. She only had 256 MB of memory.
She is going to take it to the Apple Store to have more added as she doesn't know how and we live 3,000 miles from each other.

My ipod freezes and no apps open, not even the settings app

ive tried restoring and using the homebutton and power button technique but there is no change,

Then you have a hardware issue. Contact Apple.

My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
Have you tried reinstalling 1Password? Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it. (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.) You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
As with anything else, be sure to run a backup first!

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Hi Marcel1no,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be frustrating when an application downloaded from the App Store is not behaving as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article for information on troubleshooting apps downloaded from the App Store.

IPad app update does not appear to work

I have the new iPad with retina display and several days ago, I noticed that I keep getting bugged to update the app "CNBC Real-Time for iPad." When I accept the update, the app appears to update. However, when I click on the App Store, I am again bugged to install the same update. Resetting my iPad has not corrected this. Deleting the app and reinstalling the app did not correct this either. I am inclined to believe that this is a problem with the application and not the iPad given that I don't seem to have this problem with other applications but I wanted to report this in case it is more than that. Just wanted to bring this to attention both in case this is a problem not isolated to this app and my iPad.

This has been resolved.
For those searching for reasons: it was probably a aftershock from the appstore issue from a few days ago... Or the app version number didnt match the soon to be released updates which got leaked (new appstore issue)
Anyway, its all good now.
Thanks!:)

My problem is after updating to Yosemite does my mail client any longer. I can not even open the mail, and when I "forced closes" mail and try to open it again to go in the entered settings running the colored wheels around and allows me only to forcing close again? does anyone have a solution to the above problem?

You mean the default OS X mail app? Try reinstalling OS X Yosemite if that's the case.
If you are referring to 3rd party mail applications, that's a compatibility issue. Some apps don't work in the new operating system. You have to wait until the developer updates the app, or you have to revert back to Mavericks to continue using it.

Blackberry App World not working after update to 3.1.0.58

I have a Bold 9650. I am running BB version 6.0 Bundle 2333, Yesterday (12/25/2011) App World told me I had an update to App World. It was for version 3.1.0.58. I was at 3.1.0.56 at the time. I accepted the upgrade. After the restart, App World no longer shows up as a running application. I have restarted the Bold twice, and I can not even find the app in the "All" screen. It is listed in the Options->Device->Application Management but says it has never been used. I'm new to this beast and am stuck. Any idea how I can go back to 3.1.0.56 - which worked for me? After this, I am going to be a bit more careful before allowing updates.
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

When I enter www.blackberry.com/appworld/download in the blackberry browser, it redirects me to http://mobileapps.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/index.do which tells me to "View Blackberry App World Availability" which in turn gives me a list of countries. But no download link or any other link - just a flat list. And, of course, it does include the USA....
So, I brought up the URL in IE after hooking up the Blackerry to my laptop, which has the plugin installed. I got the page with 2 options. "Enter an email address and it will send to my mailbox a link to the download." So I entered my email address and it sent me a link. The link that it sent me took me right back to the "View Blackberry App World Availability" page. Nothing.
The other option said to plug in the Blackberry, which was already plugged into the USB and communicating. Supposedly this will install via the USB port. But it returned the following.
"Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site using the browser on your BlackBerry® smartphone.
Which again gets me nowhere.
This is crazy. Can't wait to get rid of this useless "SmartPhone". What a joke. But thanks for the help...
