Blackberry World thinks I need to update Apps that are already up-to-date. (Infinite Update Loop)

Hello,
I have been having trouble with Blackberry World. It states that I have apps that need updating, but I already have the most recent update of these apps. In addition, BBW states that I need updates for apps that I no longer have installed on my phone. (and I cant seem to uninstall these apps via BBW)
I have tried installing the update (even if its not needed), and uninstalling/re-installing the apps, and nothing eliminates this problem. "Refresh BlackBerry World" does not help either.
for an example: I have 9 apps that BBW thinks I need to update. One of which is Blackberry Blend. When I click on Blend, It states that the Update is available to Version 1.1.0.67, but directly underneath, it states that I have Installed Version 1.1.0.67 !!! If I choose to perform the update, the notice for updating Blend shows back up in BBW immediatley. The same issue is occuring with a number of apps, including: Google Talk, Skype, etc..
Any suggestions on how to stop this BBW App Update Infinite Loop?

Hi, I've tried clearing the cache multiple times. With or without reboot, it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
I should probably mention that this is on a Z10 STL100-3 OS release 10.3.1.1865 OS version 10.3.1.2708. This problem was occuring with only Skype before the upgrade from 10.2, but since the update its with 9 other Apps as well. I even completely wiped my phone, and only selectively restored a handful of apps to prevent the issue, but thats when BBW now displays required updates for Apps I no longer have installed on the phones since starting from scratch.
any other suggestions?

HT2534 If I change my kids apple id will they still be able to update apps that have already been purchased

If I change my kids apple id will they still be able to update apps that have been previously purchased with a different apple id?

Yes as long as they are signed into that Apple ID. Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. But it is never a good idea to change an Apple ID. If you get a new email address and change the name that you use for the Apple ID, that's something different, but creating a totally new ID is not advisable.
You will always have to be signing in and out of the two ID's on the iPad and when you sign into another ID and download content with that ID, you lock yourself out of the other ID for 90 days.

Syncing music/videos/apps that are already on my ipod touch

Whenever I sync my ipod with iTunes on my mac, any songs, videos, or apps that are different in any way whatsoever or automatically resynced to my ipod. This is fine for apps, as the only way this would happen is if there is in app update. However, for songs and videos, when the only change is the number of plays (the song has been played on my mac or my ipod since the last sync), iTunes copies all of those songs and videos again, even though they are already on the ipod. Perhaps it's not really copying, but rather syncing the number of plays, but it takes just as long. And after all that is finally done, it syncs the genius data for all 5000+ songs on my ipod. This is another 20-30 minute process. The genius playlists are nice and all, but they're not that nice. This has been bothering my for some time. Is there something wrong here, or is there a way to turn off this functionality? I know you can turn off the genius option.
My ipod touch is a 3rd gen and I'm syncing via USB 2.0, not wifi.
Thanks for the help.

connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

It won't delete anyting, it will only change the ID.

Using iTunes to update apps that are over 20mb

I am trying to update 3 apps, which are over 20mb, by connecting to iTunes. My phone syncs but it does not update the apps. I checked my available for downloads option and it says it's empty. How do I get the apps to update? Thanks!

App Store Keeps Wanting To Update Apps

TS3297 iphone will let me download apps but wont let me update the apps that are already downloaded. I get message saying that my iphone cant connect to itunes store. What should I do?

im trying to fix this and have already synced my phone with itunes and restarted my phone, but nothing is working. does anyone know how to fix this?

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

How do I update apps that are linked to someone else's apple account?

Hi,
I'm having trouble updating previously installed apps as they were installed using someone else's apple account. I have since changed the account settings to my own apple account, but anything that was put on before the changes can't be updated as it asks for the old apple I.D. and password.
Please help
Thanks

Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
Thank you in advance.
Brian.

Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

[SOLVED]Pacman needs gcc-libs, that are already up to date

...but this is the output
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.7.0-3
Pacman needs to update itself first, but needs gcc-libs...
...however...
pacman -Ss gcc-libs
core/gcc-libs 4.7.0-5 (base) [installed: 4.7.0-3]
Runtime libraries shipped by GCC
Granted, I could do this:
pacman's --force
but, how harmfull is that to my system?
Thanks for a reply!
Thor
EDIT - searching the boards now...but I found some stale breadcrumbs...
EDIT2 - upated pacman on its own...that seemd to work...
pacman -S pacman
the system is updating now...Solved
EDIT3 - definetly solved, upgrading pacman on its own did the trick. The system is back after a reboot...thanks to everyone here

Hi everyone!
@ Loafer
Well, I did not refuse pacman to update...not updating one package could potentially bring down the depenging chain...so I let it update...
@ Sara - I updated pacman on its own as detailed in the first post, then I did a sysup. the packages are in, and the update is running as we speak...
I guess this could work for you too...good luck!

Apple is making me pay to update free apps OR apps that have already been purchased, More than once??!!

I have Recently been trying to update several apps of mine, and when i click update all, or one at a time, it takes me straight to my billing information. Then after that it says i need to pay to update my apps that have already been purchased or apps that i have gotten for free, i have never used a credit card to buy apps, i have always just used iTunes Cards to Redeem apps. However, when i took my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.1 to the apple store, the "geniuses" have told me i have outstanding payments on an app so in order to update them, i need to go and purchase more itunes cards.. So i have went out and bought about Three 20$ itunes cards hoping that by using just 1 card - it would fix the problem im having. but it isnt. ALSO if i purchase an app without having the same amount of what it costs it will not let me buy/download it, so how can i have to pay for apps that are already on my phone?? MOST THAT ARE FREE. Can someone please help me solve this issue that actually knows what they are doing?! thanks..

That's because the billing information is out of date or there was a problem with a previous purchase.

No. That's not what it says. What is the EXACT message you get?

Contact iTunes store support and find out what the problem is.

Um... yeah... That's the way it works. If you want to buy something, you have to have enough to actually pay for it.

Why am I being charged to update apps that I know were free?

I have several apps that I've downloaded that I know are free 100% and even ones I've had for years, but since updating to a whole new phone, things aren't acting right. Every time I try to update these apps, I get this thing where I have to sign in to my account to view settings. Then when I do it says my info is wrong, but it's not. And even if I cancel the updates it's been charging me $1.75 each time! So now I have $12.25 in charges just to update apps that are free! So wth?!
The apps are: Dragon Skies, Action Bowling Free and Breeding Guide for DragonVale.

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

When I try to update apps on my iPad mini, I tap the "Update" button, but the app just opens and doesn't update.

I have an iPad mini, 16G, WiFi only. My operating system is iOS 7.0.3. My problem is that my App Store has stopped updating apps. And it's not like the update starts, but never finishes. It doesn't start at all. I touch the "Update" button, and the app opens instead of updating. I have 9 updates now, and none of them work. And the rest of the App Store is working fine. I have no problems searching for apps or downloading new apps. It's just the updates that don't work. I had thought that maybe I needed to update my software and then it would start working, but I can't. The available software update requires 5.9G of storage, and I only have 1.6G. I also thought that maybe there was not enough forage to update the apps, but if that was the case, then it would tell me that there is not enough storage instead of opening the app. Does anyone know how to fix this? I really need to update my apps!

Hey there nstephanie0625,
It sounds like you are unable to update your apps in the App store because they launch, rather than update. I would recommend starting by signing out of your Apple ID in Settings:
iTunes: Using the iTunes Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Create New Apple ID on your device.
Then quit all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
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 restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling
