apps not updating during sync

It sounds like your iPad is sleeping or you lose your connection before the process completes. Try plugging the iPad in to a power out and do the update. Make sure you have a strong wifi signal.

Files that "remember playback position" are not updating during sync

I listen to long spoken word MP3 files that are not podcasts. I have the "remember playback position" option checked on these files. I will add it to my library, sync it to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle, then go play it. The shuffle will remember the playback position fine. When I plug it into the computer again, iTunes used to update the files on my computer with the new playback position from the shuffle. This is not the case anymore. The local files will stay at the spot where they were at the original sync (0:00 in most cases). The files on the shuffle will then go back to 0:00 as well. This is very annoying. Any ideas?
P.S. I'm using the newest Shuffle that was released along with the 4th gen Nano (mine is the 2GB blue).
I know this is supposed to work because I had a silver 1GB shuffle in 2007 that worked fine.

ROFL I've named this thread "Shuffle Woes" in my favorites list. I seem to have fixed this strange and VERY elusive problem for now.
I discovered a duplicate music file that had the same metadata as another music file. The only difference between the two files was the name of the physical file on the hard disk AKA the file name. The metadata (tags) were exactly the same. Now that I've deleted one of the two files everything seems to magically work again. Don't ask me!
If the problem resurfaces again I'll be back. No more shuffle woes!

Playlist not updated during sync with added songs

I have a manual playlist set up in iTunes where I store my music. I then have iTunes set to sync only this playlist to my iPhone 5. However, when I've added a newly added song into this playlist, and performed a sync, the song does not move into the playlist on the phone. I have to uncheck "Sync music" sync the phone, then recheck "sync music" for it to appear. Only started when I upgraded to iOS7

Yeah, iOS 7 may be beautiful but it still has bad quality issues. Apple needs to fix the bugs and hold off an any new feature work for the next version of the OS!!!

Ipad mini apps not updating after ios8.2 update

apps not updating after software update ios8.2 on ipaD MINI WITH RETINA SCREEN

Turn off any auto-update, if it is on, then tap any of the "circle icons" showing that a download is in progress, in order to stop the download. Then go to the Settings and reset the Network Settings. After the iPad starts back up, then check to make sure no apps are currently in progress of downloading. If any are, stop them again, and reset the network settings again. When it starts up again, none should be in the process of downloading. Then from that point forward, only download manually and never more than two at a time. If it is more than 100 MB, then do only one at a time. If any gets stuck at that point, then stop the download and reset the Network settings.
That should take care of you for now. We'll see what another update brings ... IOS 8.2 (which might be the next one).

My iLife v9.03 Install disk is corrupt. Where can I find a download for the the app (not update) at apple support online ?

I have an iLife 11 disc that doesn't work very well so I tried creating a disk image of it with Disk Utility. It took two tries but finally got a disk image that I could use to install the iLife 11 applications. Give it a try.

Has anyone else had trouble with apps not updating when you update through the app store?

I'm having trouble with GSN Games app not updating, even though the app store says that it's the most updated version. Has anyone else experienced this? My mother's app updated just fine with all the new features and games within the app, but mine didn't update the same. We both have ipad2 running on ios 7.0.06. I can't figure this out. New games were added to the app that I'd like to play, but can't because of this.
Any suggestions before I contact the app developer?
Thanks so much for you help.

I frequently get my connection is to slow for play.
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Restart your iPhone.
Try again.

Why do Apps not update after installing iOS6? They just hang there!

WHy do apps not update after installing iOS6?

Each time? every day? Just plain crazy! Updates happen automatically on your mac....why not the same thing on ipad/iphone?
If the app was purchased on my phone with my account, surely they do not need to "verify" my credentials each time. If my phone was stolen and someone purchased a $20 app surely my $300 phone is more important?
They need to come up with e better solution...when we all have hundred or thousands of apps on our devices what then?

Apps not updating. Stuck on "Waiting"

I saw that large thread that was started months ago about apps not updating, getting hung up on "Waiting" then saying "App X could not be updated at this time. Done? Retry?" and no matter what you select, you cannot update or even use that app.
Has this still not been fixed? People were posting about this issue 5+ months ago. Do I really need to download some 3rd party software like iExplore to fix this?
I tried all the basic things listed in that thread, but I cannot believe Apple hasn't addressed this. Is there some new quick fix I'm missing?

Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Also, make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

HTC Weather App not updating (diff issue-sync issue)

Okay so let start off by saying I have the 2.2 Froyo Software.
If you add a widget, theres is a widget called "sync all"; whether it is a new one from 2.2 I dont know but lets move on. I have that widget on one of my screens. Periodically I will hit that sync button because I refuse to have it enabled all the time for it to update on its own.
So we should all know that by sync'ing it updates: Backup Contacts/Twitter/Weather/News/Stocks and maybe more.
However after hitting that sync button, minutes on end my temperature is the same; my weather is not updated.
If you were to go into Settings>Accounts and Sync>scroll down to Weather and click it; it will say that the weather was in fact updated but the home screen widget is not updating.
Even if you were to manually update it via the settings/accounts and sync/weather and then click weather update, the status will say it has been updated but the homescreen widget will not budge.
I called HTC after talking to Verizon and HTC also had noted that it too wasnt updating for him either.
I am a user that has everything disabled. But while I await for replies, I will enable everything and start checking things off one by one to see which thing it needs to function.
I dont have Background Data Enabled
I turn off Bluetooth-Wifi-and all locations.
OH and PS: if I go into the weather app and choose the update from that screen; YES it will change temperatures and weather but not by performing a sync.
Again HTC noted the same issue; thought it was a software glitch but last time I called them on this issue was well over a month + ago
Has anyone else noted the same thing? Thanks

the background data needs to be checked in order for the weather to update once you perform a sync; everything else you can leave unchecked

After iTunes upgrade, calendar and bookmarks no longer update during sync

After completing the most recent iTunes upgrade, my phone will complete a backup and seems to go through the sync process. However, the calendar items and bookmarks will not update with any changes that were applied in Outlook or Internet Explorer. Also, previously, I would receive a "syncing calendar" message (or something similar) during the process, and that no longer occurs.

same problem here after itunes 9.1 update. seems to be a common problem:

IWork apps not updating iCloud files automatically

My iWork apps (pages, keynote, numbers) on my MacBook Pro quit updating iCloud files automatically. Also the apps will not show files created or updated on my iPhone or iPad automatically. If I restart or shut down my MacBook Pro, then the iCloud files are updated at the launch of the iWork app. The iWork apps were updating the iCloud files antomatically until two days ago. I am looking for suggestions on how to get the automatic iCloud file update feature working again.

Yes I am using Mountian Lion. Automatic syncing was working great up to about 2 days ago. Then it just quit. I could turn the mac off and back on and it would sync, but still would not automatically. None of my troubleshooting tricks fixed the issue. Finally I reinstalled Mountian Lion and now the iWorks apps are syncing. I still don't the know the reason for the issue, but a complete start over solved the issue for now. Thanks for your comments.

Apps not updating on ipad

Apps are not updating on my 1st gen. ipad. They stay in a waiting mode.

Here are a number of things that you can try. Some of these have worked for other users in the past. YMMV.
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.
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 device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

OS/Apps not updating

I have an Ipad2 (I think - not really sure how to tell). My IOS is 5.1.1, and itunes says it is up to date. Capacity is 60 GB, of which 38GB is free.
Recently, I'm finding that my apps are disappearing, and during sync I'm getting messages that my apps can't be installed because the Ipad "requires a newer version of Ipad software."
What's up with this? Is my ipad going to lose all functionality unless I buy a new one???
Thanks,
Tracy

The max iOS version for the iPad 1. It's due to the limited RAM and processor speed. You can still use your current versions of apps and any new apps that only require iOS 5.1.1.
Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.

HT4623 apps not updating

My iphone is not updateing apps it freezes then tells me the app could not be updated at this time, my phone is also running slow I have updated the software and reset it but still no joy

See if any of these suggestions will work for your "waiting" apps issue.
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 - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
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. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
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.
