App wont complete or go away

Woops looks like whatever I just typed didn't go anywhere, it just took me to this form.
So anyway, I tried downloading an app straight from my iPhone (4) and it did not complete. I resumed & completed the download from iTunes but that half-done app is still on the phone and every few minutes it pops up to prompt me to enter my password & resume the download, which never works. HELP!
I tried doing the thing you do to remove apps but this one is not selectable. I even tried removing & reinstalling it from iTunes but it just takes away the other version of it - the one that finished from iTunes.
Its becoming super-annoying since, as I said, it just keeps on appearing.

anyone? anyone? Still happening. I lost track of where I had posted this question last week, found it now but no replies (obviously). Hopefully this'll bump me or something.
There are still 2 apps that I began downloading that did not complete that are sitting partially downloaded on my iPhone. They cant be deleted or finished. I went to iTunes & saw one of them there, looking complete. The 2nd one is hard to check because I cant tell what the name of it is.
All this wouldnt be an issue if I werent having a problem with the new Facebook app for the past 8 or 9 days. Its a problem so huge..so major...I cant even talk about it. I want to post about that (seperately of course) but I'm too aggravated!!

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.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>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>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
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 try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Hi Kat713,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the Music app on your iPhone quits unexpectedly when you launch it, first restart the phone. If the behavior persists, reset the phone next:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the article with these steps here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after resetting the phone, I recommend backing up and restoring your iPhone:

I´ve downloaded PS from CC, but the app wont work? Can re-download it?

I´ve downloaded PS from CC, but the app wont work? Can re-download it?

Hello,
I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC (together with the Apps) doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I Quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

Apps wont transfer after ios5.1.1 upgrade

apps wont transfer after ios5.1.1 upgrade. This upgrade has me pulling out my hair. the device is running very slow and apps wont transfer back into the ipad from my library. anyone else having this issue? what do i do about it? is it possible to roll back the OS? Thanks for any help with this matter. And a curse on whoever came up with this so called upgrade!!

If you are using the original iPad it is possible that this upgrade could slow down the iPad since that model just doesn't have the processor power er and speed of the iPad2 and the new iPad. Unfortunately, you cannot downgrade the iOS - officially.
Have you tried rebooting the iPad? Quitting all apps and restarting?
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.
Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
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.
Make sure that you are signed into the correct account in - Settings>Store>Apple ID for the apps that will not sync. And are you sure that the apps are selected to sync in your iTunes sync preferences?

[ PROBLEM ] Audio Control app wont recognise card properly

Hi
I have a X-Fi ExtremeGamer card in my Win 7 home premium setup and am struggling to set it up properly.
Long story short , I pulled out the X-Fi card and tried the onboard audio as I was getting an issue with the audio playing around using the creative drivers ( volume changes mid song, positional audio in games was often unusal ).
The Realtek stuff wasnt too bad but I wanted to try my X-Fi card again, it is suppose to be better after all.
Anyways...
I disabled the onboard audio , safe mode and cleaned all the realtek drivers out and any lingering creative drivers with Driver Sweeper, used CCleaner to clean up the reg and rebooted.
Installed the BETA drivers from creative and the audio works fine, but when I try use the crystaliser or other SB features the app complains
" The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. "
I installed Daniel_K's drivers from a CD ISO he put out a while back, and the applications worked fine but the audio dropped in and out, so I downloaded the official creative drivers for my card and OS, and the application worked fine again but as with Daniels drivers the audio dropped in and out so I reverted to the beta drivers... and the audio dropped in and out as well.
I worked it out to being the volume controls on the creative 5. speakers , which every set of speakers I have bought from creative have had the same issue, the volume slider on the cable... after some use it messes up the audio and it becomes safer just to adjust the volume in the software.
After deciding the issue was with the volume slider on the cable, I wanted to re-install Daniel_K's driver pack so I could access the other features, now it suddenly doesnt recognise the device anymore, nore does the official none beta drivers from creative, nor does the latest PAX drivers ... all report the same issue:
" The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. "?
I am starting to tear my hair out here, the audio works and the card is recognised in the Device Manager as 'Creative SB X-Fi' , I have clean the drivers , the registery , used the patch that fixes a bug where the update wouldnt recognise cards properly , re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re installed the drivers.... carefully EACH time.
I triple checked I was downloading the Win 7 64bit OS ver of the X-Fi ExtremeGamer drivers.
What now ?
ALSO Who thought it was a bright idea to put up the volume to 87% when you install drivers ? It also unmutes the volume if you mute it before restart, and it puts the volume back up to 87% if you dare to lower the volume before rebooting the PC to complete the install.
( NOTE: It only does this after the initial reboot to complete the install, subsequent re-boots leaves the volume alone )

I give up...
I sent a form to the tech guys , detailing the problem and outlining the steps I took to fix the issue...and they direct me to http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx?sid=55438?, oh I can use Device Manager to uninstall , oh and Control Panel - Programs to unistall the Creative stuff ( note: I am being very sarcastic here ).
This is the information I sent the tech:
Detailed Problem Description:
Creative audio application does not recognise SB X-Fi card , card audio functions just cant control the feature set. Error msg : " The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. " Suspect nVidia installing of HD audio drivers causing 4 (four) additional High Definition Audio Devices to appear in the device manager screen. Unable to uninstall these devices as Win7 auto re-reinstalls with generic MS drivers, can only disable. Creative SB X-Fi card listed in audio devices as 2 - SB X-Fi. Suspect the audio control application looks in the first slot and doesnt recognise the device and fails, doesnt look at the 2 ( second slot ? ) Tried a full uninstall including going to safe mode and removing drivers with Driver Sweeper, CCLeaner to clear out registry entries and removed the card, booted to windows without the card , re-seated the card and re-installed the drivers. Forum entry for this problem at: http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/PROBLEM-Audio-Control-app-wont-recognise-card-properly/td-p/57930
Thank you
and this is the advice I got ...
Thank you for contacting Creative Labs.
To avoid installing the incorrect driver on your soundcard, we suggest that you do a full uninstallation using the guidelines, steps provided in our website. Shutdown your PC then take out the card and make sure to place it on another slot. Second, disable your onboard audio and if your graphic card comes with any audio support as well, disable this feature.

Just got iphone 5s today but fingerprint wont complete just keeps saying try again. Has anyone else had this trouble?

Just got iphone 5s today but fingerprint wont complete just keeps saying try again - has anyone else had this problem?

Hey Lewis1306,
Thanks for the question, and congrats on the new iPhone 5s!
I understand you are experiencing issues with Touch ID. The following article provides some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful:
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
Resolving issues with Touch ID
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iOS.
2. Ensure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
3. If you are using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
4. Tap Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID and verify that:
- iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is enabled.
- One or more fingerprints have been enrolled.
5. If one finger isn't working, tap Edit in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID > Edit to delete and then reenroll the finger.
6. If that finger still isn't working, try enrolling a different finger.
7. If you are unable to enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
* Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin may affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Ipad apps wont work after downloading update 5.1.1

My I pad apps wont work after I downloaded OS update 5.1.1
I have tried restoring, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Hi
I had the same problem since I updated, the iPad shows "No Sim" I have taken it out, put it back in after cleaning it! All the usual possible solutions that everyone else has tried? So I have not been able to connect for over a week now and I intended to pop into the Apple geek guys to let them have a look, but was scared that they might suggest it would have to be sent away!!! What would I do?. So last night I was fiddling around with the IPad and thought I would try something, AND GUESS WHAT! It works!!!!
This is what I had done
1. Take the SIM out of the IPad
2. Leaving the SIM out, turn the Ipad off using the Home and power button at the same time, do this 4 times
3. Now insert the SIM back in it then found my SIM
I cannot confirm the is the ultimate cure, but it worked for me and I have tried all the other possible solutions, it's worth a try?

Mail app wont open/ crashes

I turn on my mac this morning and the Mail App wont open, it keeps on crashing.
I tried holding shift key while opening it and the program does open, but when i select a message it crashes again.
never had this problem before.
There is not current updates available for my mac, so I dont know what it is happening.
I have a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 - 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Machintosh HD , I am running Maverics 10.9.1

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
