Downloading App takes you out of App Store

Is this a design feature? I would prefer if it let you stay in the App Store and continue downloading like in Itunes. Its a pain to have to keep scrolling back over to the App Store icon, clicking the icon, downloading an App, takes you out of App Store, over a couple screens where it starts downloading/installing....and it continues....would be better if it just let you download the app and stay in the App Store.

Apparently the way it was designed it must exit the app store to download an app. I don't know why it was designed that way and Apple isn't going to tell us. There might be a good technical reason.

  • How long did it take you install BI Apps for HR & Procurement?*

    Hi:
    This is just for a straight install with DAC, but no DFFs, no custom reports, no custom dashboards, etc.
    Ideally, I'd like an estimate of how long it would take to configure a DFF, and what your experience is.
    Thanks for your input - it is valued.
    /*** Yes, I know this like "How big is a house?", but I have no idea, and I haven't found anything in the
    **** forum. I have much experience w/INFA and some experience with OBIEE, so what I REALLY want

    Hi Shyamavaram,
    This is a helpful post indeed. I have just installed DAC 10.1.3.4.1
    Have finished doing the repository import
    Now am facing error while doing the metadata import. I have OBIA 7.9.6.1 installed. So, have used the metadata files from that.
    I had selected 2 applications for import - Universal and Siebel 8.1.1
    But I still get the 5 errors in import.log file.
    And when I go to log file the error is as follows:

  • Prevent YouTube Widget or Snippet take you out of my site (To YouTube Site)

    I'm wondering if is there a way to prevent YouTube widget from taking me to the YouTube site in a new window when I click the clip the second time.
    Also is there a way to autoplay a YouTube clip on my site?
    Thanks for your help,

    You can use the latest free player from JW LongTail Video to reference the file uploaded to YouTube, get the embed code and paste it into an HTML Snippet.
    This player gives you a choice of 5 skins and the option to autostart. It also has the advantage of working on the iPhone and iPad......

    Note that you can also reference a file that is on your server or a local one on your Mac.

  • When you buy an app is there anyway of finding out what device it was downloaded to?

    I purchased an Ipod touch g4 second hand for my 6 year old daughter.  I had never let her take it out of the house but of course I decided it would be safe.  Unfortunately she did in fact drop it and broke the screen (need a better case).  I took it to a store who said they could replace it as well as the battery.  Unfortunately for me, I never got a chance to back up the pictures or anything onto my computer but I had downloaded and paid for some apps on it.  I also never copied down the serial number.
    I got the device back today and took it home not thinking I had to look and make sure it was mine.  Upon returning home I gave it to my daughter and low and behold it has no camera, no facetime, no nothing.  I did a search on the net and took it to another guy to look at and it turns out that the guy who replaced the screen switched it out for a 2g device.
    What I need to know is if here is anyway apple would know what kind of device the games I purchased were downloaded to.
    Thank you,

    No
    Sorry

    Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
    Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

  • IPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one but not all apps. I have more storage than the app takes. Can u help?

    iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps.  I have more space available than needed for the app.  What do I need to do to fix this problem?  Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that? 

    You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
    To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./

  • Downloading and installing apps takes forever? New iphone 5s

    I've been an android user since the first droids but I decided to give iphone a shot with the 5s, just picked it up yesterday.
    Aside from getting used to a TINY screen, doing okay with it but I've noticed downloading and installing apps takes a LONG time on this phone compared to my previous androids (and I've had a lot, I switch phones every few months).
    On android I touch install and for most apps (take pandora for instance), it's download and installed in LITERALLY like 5-6 seconds.
    On this iPhone 5s, same wifi network, same location, same carrier (Verizon) it takes 1-2 minutes...A LOT LONGER than on android.
    Is this normal? Why does it take so long? Are iphone apps huge in size compared to android versions? Can't figure out why its so different
    Thanks!

  • ITunes keeps attempting to download a particular app when I update other apps via phone store

    These errors don't happen all the time, but it happens enough that it's getting rather tiresome to work around it. Both of these problems happen when I am requested to update an app on my phone, or I try to download an app from the store on my phone. I'm not sure if it's two separate problems occuring at the same time, or one big problem with two symptoms.
    Problem 1:
    I receive a badge on my App Store that one of my apps requires an update or I want to download a new app. I go to the update tab and click on "Update" or click on "purchase."  The password pop-up appears, but then closes and a new pop-up appears that says "Gif Boom and 22 other apps cannot be downloaded at this time." I click okay to close the notification, then click the button again, whereupon the password box appears, I fill it in and the download proceeds as should be expected.
    I haven't had Gifboom on my phone for almost a year, and I have no idea why it's trying to update an app that isn't even on my phone.
    Problem 2:
    This occurs in conjunction with the previous problem, but doesn't always happen when the first problem occurs.
    I go to download an update or new app, and as the new app or update is installing, a greyed out box for the app Shadow Age appears in the newest slot, labeled as "waiting." I downloaded the Shadow Age app last summer and deleted it after a few weeks. For some reason it keeps trying to redownload it onto my phone when I download an app or update. If I hold down the icon, the little black X doesnt appear. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone.
    Neither Gifboom nor Shadow Age are on my computer, so it is not trying to sync it from there. I have autosync turned off in iTunes on my computer, iCloud is turned off on my phone, and Automatic Downloads for Music and Apps is turned off on my phone. There is nothing that I can see that should be requesting my phone to download Gifboom, Shadow Age, or any of these other 22 apps.
    Last resort is a backup and system restore as I have quite a few games on my phone that I don't want to lose saved data from, and I don't know if the backup will just backup the error as well.
    I have seen similar posts saying that apps keep reappearing when syncing to a computer, but mine are coming from the iTunes store directly onto my phone.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You may want to try reorgnizing the iTunes library by clicking File, Library, Organize Library, then check Consolidate files and Upgrade to iTunes Media organization or Reorganize files in the folder iTunes Media.
    You can also try re-creating your iTunes library and playlists.
    Then delete the app, if it shows up in iTunes or the Mobile Applications folder again.

    You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.

  • App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

    Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
    OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
    Location : UK
    Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
    Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
    I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
    Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
    Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
    However this did not happen.
    Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
    If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
    The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
    I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
    After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
    I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
    I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
    I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
    I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
    The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
    I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
    In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
    I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
    My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
    Nothing I try will download the app in question.
    The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
    I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
    (Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
    I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
    I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
    Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
    Thanks in advance for any support.

    Hi there.
    Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
    No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
    I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
    While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
    I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
    Thanks again for your help
