Cannot update apps for iPad mini

I cant update apps in my iPad mini, straight open the app when click on update in apps store.

Hello Obieby,
I know that article below talks about when apps crash, but it is a good resource for troubleshooting apps in general like updating your iPad to removing the app and downloading it again. Let me know if this work for you or need additional support.

HT201272 Help - have an iTunes account on iPad for well over a year. Just bought iPhone 5 and I cannot purchase apps using my account. I am asked to verify my credit card and details but then it rejects them. They are still fine on the iPad. Any ideas?

Help - have an iTunes account on iPad for well over a year. Just bought iPhone 5 and I cannot purchase apps using my account. I am asked to verify my credit card and details but then it rejects them. They are still fine on the iPad. Any ideas?
I tried to contact support but they do not recognise my Thai phone number.
the Thai support site is all in Thai (and I neither read or write it).
All I want is a single email address that works - it must be quite a simple process.
I don't want to create another account with another credit card - life will just get seriously complicated then.
BTW my apple I'd is accepted for downloading free apps!!!

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

I purchased a 64gb iPad mini but it did not have pages, numbers or keynote loaded to it. The website said it should be loaded

I purchased a 64gb iPad mini but it did not have pages, numbers or keynote loaded to it. The website said it should be loaded, how do I get it back. The App Store does not show it for free.

Was the iPad already on iOS 8, or did you have to update the iPad to it ? Just noticed that they should have been pre-installed on devices with iOS 8 already on them which are 32 gig or larger (prior to iOS 8 they were only available as free downloads, they weren't pre-installed on devices) - so if your iPad had already had iOS 8 on it then they should have been on it : Free Apple apps for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 8. I can't see anything that says that it's specific to particular countries.
If you go to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and tap on 'iPad App Collections' and then on the next screen tap 'Apps Made By Apple' they show with a price there as well ?
If they do then I'm not sure what else to suggest apart from potentially contacting iTunes Support and see if they can see why they aren't showing as free : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store. Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to computer?

How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to my computer? I don't want them taking up space on my computer. iPad backups and apps on the cloud are enough to ensure my apps are backed up, so I don't understand why they need to be on iTunes too. I'm running Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.5 and iOS 7.0.6.

There isn't an app for that!
As far as I can tell there is no option to give you that control. It is worth noting that apps can be withdrawn from the store at any time. Should your device need restoring you need all the apps in your library to transfer to it before the app data can be successfully restored. Pulling that all down from the cloud would be time consuming.
If space is becoming an issue you should consider moving the library to a bigger drive (which you should also backup to another).
As a temporary measure you could try deleting some larger apps using Finder from within iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications while keeping the entries in your library. iTunes may complain during syncs that it cannot copy apps to the device because they cannot be found, but it should not clear them from the device. Test first on a single app that doesn't have any data that you would mind losing in case the behavior has changed from the last time I tested it.

Go here to add the iPad to your support profile. That should work. Keep the credit card receipt as well.

How to find the Home Sharing in Music App for iPad Mini Retina ?

Impossible to find the settings button "more" in Music App on iPad Mini Retina display...

Once Homesharing is setup,
Open Music APP on ipad
Bottom right is the ...More
Should look like
Then select the Shared

Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

Current setup
- Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
- iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
- iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined. I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues. I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday. Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help. Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help. Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help. I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way. When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird? Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF. DING, DING, that was it. Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday. Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps. Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"! I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc.
I hope this helps many of you save several hours. I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
3. Restart iTunes
4. Restart IPad
5. Connect IPad
6. Still I got the same error
7. Restart iTunes
8. Restart IPad
9. Connect IPad
10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.
System: IPad 1, IOS 5.x

What happens when you try to do the purchase, if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

Hello Memazz,
I found an article with steps you can take when you are not able to connect to the iTunes Store. I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in this article:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
I also recommend checking to see if you have In-App purchases disabled in the Restrictions on your iPad:
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
If you are still having trouble with In-App purchases after reviewing those resources, you may need to troubleshoot issues with that specific application. You can use this tutorial:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

IPAD Mini Freezing up in installation mode as it is installing Update iOS 8.1.3 . I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini . How do I resolve this problem?

iPAD Mini purchased for Xmas 2013 is freezing as it tries to complete the installation of the iOS update 8.1.3. The screen his frozen on the installation mode and I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini. How do I turn off the iPAD Mini and resolve this problem?

Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go. Also, it is iOS 8.2 that you are trying to install since that is the current version. I had no problems updating my mini today so hopefully yours will go well too.

Hi. I purchased a new ipad mini and my brother already has iphone 4,so how can i avoid sharing the same contents that are on his phone? Will creating an other apple id help us in seperating our facetime and icloud accounts as we share our laptop to sync ?

cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

Hi mike,
Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
Nathan
