Apps won't update - now they won't work at all

I recently attempted to update a few of my apps that we're coming up as update available from my app store on my ipad2.
When I clicked update all and enters my password it jumped to my home screen where I was then just left and none of the apps updated.
Even when I click one to try and re-engage a new download of the update it doesn't do anything. I can't even use the apps now that just seem to be stuck.
Any help most appreciated.
I have turned off and also performed a soft reset. I have also tried going back through the app store and individually update one app at a time it doesn't allow me to do anything. It simply says waiting for a split second and then flashes up saying cannot download application.

Finally solved the problem by going back to an older version of iTunes, which I found on FileHippo.com - I chose version 7.0 since I had no idea what older version I used to have.
The uninstall was the hard part, but these instructions did the trick:

Even then, when I got the "iTunesSetup.exe", clicking on it got the message:"iTunes library cannot be read because it was created by a later version of iTunes". Apparently some fragment of the "update was hiding somewhere.
I finally solved this by right-clicking (option+click) on it.
So now I have iTunes back & have no need for the "Combo Update"
At this point, having had a week of frustration from that worse-than-useless "Update", I have no intention of messing with any more "Updates". This computer is, and will remain a 10.4.8 machine.

I can't update my apps - now they don't work at all

I don't really use apps on my blackberry but there are two that I use everyday, these are twitter and whatsapp . I don't know if they need updating but they have just stopped working all together, this has happened before but updating them seems to fix it. Now I can't get on to the app world to do this because is says that it needs wifi but I don't have this. Is there any way that I can get onto the app world just using the mobile Internet because this seems like such a silly idea for the people that don't have wifi!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BlackBerry World does not require a WiFi connection to work.
At Options > Device > Application Management, what version of AppWorld do you have installed?
You can delete it there.
Then, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Using your BlackBerry browser, go to www.blackberry.com/appworld and download/install again.

HT204389 Siri and maps were working fine. Now they do not work at all when I'm away from home. What gives?!

All of a sudden siri and maps stopped working. They were working fine while I was traveling. Now they only work while I'm at home. How can I fix this?

Hi Gangstag,
Since both apps use Location Services, this may be the issue.
Follow the troubleshooting steps for Siri below:
iOS: Troubleshooting Siri
You can turn Location Services on for Siri by selecting Location Services Settings on the prompt, or by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and turning on both Location Services and Siri.
When you first use Siri with another application that uses Location Services, you will need to turn on Location Services for that application. For example, if you create a reminder to call your mom when you get home and Reminders or Siri has not been used before with Location Services, a prompt will appear saying that you will need to turn them on in Location Services Settings.
Hope this helps ...

Flash web app won't work on all computers

I have three computers, a desktop and notenook both running Win7 Home Premium SP1, and another desktop running XP SP3. The Boss and I joined Weight Watchers and we try to use their tracker app. On the laptop and XP box, the flash app loads just fine, albeit VERY slowly. On the Win7 desktop only the loading screen shows but it never runs. The Win7 DT has Flash 11. The Win7 NB has Flash 10. I think the XP has Flash 9. The two Win7s also run Norton Internet Security and the XP runs Avast & Win Firewall.
How can I determine what's keeping the one Win7 box from running the tracker app? All the setting seem to be the same.

Try a clean install, as follows:
Download the current 32 or 64 bit uninstaller
Uninstaller for 64 bit Operating Systems
Uninstaller for 32 bit Operating Systems
Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
Restart Windows
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window)
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ if you are using a 64 bit system, has been deleted
download the appropriate installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installers

Updated OS X Mavericks and now USB ports and MS Office apps won't work. How do I fix this?

I updated my MacBook Pro (mid 2012) to OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and now my USB ports and MS Office apps won't work. What do I do to fix this?

What system version were you running before you updated to 10.9.4? Another 10.9.x or something earlier?
What version of Office? 2004, 2008, or 2011?
Were you aware that Office 2004 does not run on recent versions of the system?
When you say your USB ports do not work, on what are you determining that?
Were you aware that Mavericks does not display external disk volumes by default?

After updating my 5S phone to 8.0.2 twitter app won't work

Had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, new iPhoto etc. just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No rosetta and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

I had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, snow leopard and mountain lion, just to connect my new iPhone 5 and somewhere between uploading iPhone 4S pics to iCloud some important pics disappeared then installed new iTunes and purchased new iPhoto all just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No Rosetta to make apps work but its not as simple as upgrading apps and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

File a complaint with Apple for not giving adequate warning before upgrading OS X that it would render PPC programs dead.
That someone at Apple said requiring the iPhone 5 to have 10.8 (10.6.8 is the minimum actually) and in order to remain a loyal Apple customer they need to fix this mess and revert your machine and software back to 10.6.8
You see, 10.6.8 would have ran your iPhone 5 and ran your PPC based software, so whoever told you to upgrade to 10.8 was wrong and they need to fix your machine.
It can be reverted to 10.6.8 yourself.

Apps won't work after sync and software update

Just syncd my ipod 4. Now FB, games and other apps won't work. The screen just goes blank. Re did the sync and still nothing. I really don't want to restore the settings because I have a lot of info on this pod. What can I do?

Try restarting your iPod by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, if that don't work try double clicking your home button to open your multi-task window hold you finger on the first app until it start to wiggle and the red minus sign shows up in the left corner tap the red minus sign to close all of your open programs.

I am having the same problem. I am not able to load ESPN or any of its affiliated apps. I also tried craigslist and ebay using safari and no luck. I tried contacting ESPN and they told me to contact AT&T. So I have been chatting with an AT&T rep for about an hour and haven't had any luck. Some friends who also have AT&T are having the same problems, while those with Verizon are working fine. I'm from the St. Louis are if that's any help.

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
