App updates freeze after iOS 6 installation?

After installing IOS 6 on my iPad, I got a message to upgrade 13 apps. I hit install all, at which point all the apps to be upgraded froze, and have remained frozen for the past three days. I've tried resetting the iPad, but that doesn't work. If I delete the frozen app, and attempt to reload it I get the same frozen message that it's "installing." Any other ideas before I visit the Genius Bar?

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
Note: You may need to do it a few times

  • App update error after iOS 4.3 upgrade

    Since I updated to iOS 4.3 there is a strange corruption on App updater. I can see the updates available but the tab shows them in basic HTML and I can't select them. Have tried reboot to no avail. Any ideas?

    A general troubleshooting measure is resetting the iPad. Press and hold the Home and Power buttons for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

    I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.  I will post my computer's 'specs' below.  I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store.  The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed.  I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2. 
    The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app.  I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there.  That fixed the problem.  For about three or four days.  From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument).  My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out.  That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online. 
    So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said.  They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board.  This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone. 
    So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion.  Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install.  This helped for a day or two, and happened again.  So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install.  I got my computer back last night.  Now, I am not saying that didn't help.  Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself).  I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours.  Which, let's be honest is still a lot. 
    So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas?  Or guarenteed fixes?  I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people.  Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
    [Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome.  Especially DIY fixes.  (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]
    Macbook Pro
    15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
    Processor:  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory:  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics:  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software:  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

  • 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.

    Hi, kelshalls.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your device becomes unresponsive when installing an App.  If this issue persists, try forcing all applications to close and restart the device.

    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • IPad Air Apps keep crashing after iOS 7.1 Update

    Hi, I just upgraded to ios 7.1 on my ipad air. Everything was working fine before the update. But after, everytime I try to open any app, it attempts to start, but then immediately crashes. Even when I download an app from the app store, it still crashes. I have tried everything (restart, reset, hard reset, etc.) and I can't think of anything else to do but replace it which I don't want to do.

    Hello jscott1997,
    It sounds like all your apps are closing when you open them, even new apps are doing the same thing. I recommend starting by closing all the open apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it from your backup with the steps in the following article. These steps will erase, and re install the iOS software, so that when you restore from the back up it is not restoring on top of the previous iOS installation:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Cannot update apps via iTunes after iOS 8 install

    After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.0.2, iTunes (ver 11.4, under OS 10.6.8) will no longer do a backup nor any direct usb cord App updates. I could download all the updates to my Mac and they showed up in the connected iphone App list.  Although the bottom banner showed nearly 5 GB of free space, as soon as I selected one of the App update button (which changed to "will update" the bottom banner change to read "not enough free space."  Then, I tried asking it to deleting an App and it came up with the usual "do you really want to" warning. After clicking yes, it basically did nothing.  I also tried doing a manual backup of the iPhone which just resulted in a very quick "scanning" status message, then nothing. I rechecked my Apple IDs, device authorizations, and restriction settings and they all seem OK. Finally, I shut down and restarted both the Mac and the iPhone then tried it all again with same results. Direct Cell or WiFi App updates on the
    iPhone work fine, but, I prefer doing them via the Mac so all are locally saved, plus, I do not have to do double downloads for my wifes iphone.

    If i click for example on the update button in app store, there is just this ''downloading circle'' and shows loading.. and loading.. and loading and just nothing happens. Also the sympol of the updating app gets grey and there stands ''waiting''.
    If i try to download an App, there is the same on the install/download button and there shows up a grey symbol of the app and nothing else happens.
    No error message or something else. Just shows that it ''loads'' and nothing happens.

  • IPad freezes after iOS 7 update, touch screen often unresponsive ... Please

    Apple support - please post in plain English the exact steps you'd like customers to take to fix this.  Simply doing a reset - pushing the round button and on/off button and holding down does not work.   I've done this about. 20 times.  Where do you go to do a factory reset?  it sounds like a lot of people are having issues as the first open genius appt bar is Thursday in Dallas.

    Hello L8T,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    For your first 2 questions I recommend the same thing. Force quit all the apps that are running:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    Then restart the iPad:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    As for the icons and background movement, that is called the parallax effect, and can be turned off by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion.
    This article will give you more info on that:

  • No restore from backup option in iTunes after ios 5 installation

    itunes didnt let me to choose or to set up new phone or restore from backup straight after ios 5 intall, also there is no option if i push right-click on my iphone in itunes..... also strange thing is that itunes didnt let me to push restore or update buttons.. i need to have my iphone restored from backup because i had really valuable photos for me... please help..

    I had a similar problem.
    I was backing up my phone in iTunes, checking the backup folder in windows 7
    "\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
    and the backup was created successfully there.
    But under "Edit -  Preferences - devices - device backups" list no backup was showing there and as a result no "restore from back up" option was available when I right click the device.
    I uninstalled
    1.Apple Application support
    2.Apple mobile device support
    3.Apple software update
    4.bonjur
    5.itunes
    6.Quick time
    Then copy the contents of the Backup folder from the location
    "\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
    to another location in my hard drive and deleted the "Apple computer" folder.
    Installed only iTunes latest version. The rest programs from above were installed by iTunes installation.
    Opened iTunes, conected my iphone, right click the device and hit backup.
    After backup finished I closed iTunes and moved the contents back to the Backup folder in
    "\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
    opened iTunes again and under "Edit -  Preferences - devices - device backups" I could see all my back ups!
    Also after I conected my iphone this time when I right click the device the "restore from back up" option was available again.
    Hope it helps..

  • Apple ID´s from friends after iOS 6 installation

    Hey,
    after the re-installation to iOS 6 a strange thing happend.
    The Apple-ID AlertView cames up and in the field for the username was the mail-adress from a friend... after that it comes again with another email from another friend.
    Consider the phone was installed NEW with the backup from iCloud!
    AND: The two persons were never on my phone!
    I hope somebody has an explanation....
    regards
    Phil

    Hi...
    The recomended way of setting up Applleds is to have one common one for "the Stores" (iTunes, App Store & Mac App store) so that all purchases are shared, then a seperate individual account for iCloud syncing EACH
    So for instance you'd have [email protected] for the stores and [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] & [email protected] for the individuals
    Thats' what I've done here for myself, mrs & 4 kids.
    Regards,
    Shawn
