Let's get those applications working for you! Many of the pre-installed Google applications cannot be removed, so what I recommend is going into Settings>Apps>All, then select the apps and if available, tap 'disable' or 'uninstall updates'. After that, please turn the phone off and back on. Next, you will either go back into Apps to enable the applications, or go into the Play store and update appropriately. Keep me posted!
Thanks,

  • When updating APK, Google Play tells the APK is not signed, but it is.

    Hi.
    When uploading a new updated APK for my AIR app, Google Play tells the APK is not signed.
    I signed the APK with the same p12 file I used for the first version (successfully published and approved on Google Play).
    I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 with AIR SDK 3.7. The first version of app was packaged with Flash Builder 4.6 and AIR SDK 3.4.
    Then I tried to generate a new .p12 key, but I get the same error message while uploading.

    Hi there, I agree with poltergeist_ and and thanks for the post mentioning that error message, even though this original topic was not related, so that I found this topic!
    I updated my apps on Apr 16 using whatever the latest Air SDK that day (3.7.x I believe), and for some reason until now those updated apps works/install from Google play on all the existing android devices I had.
    Yesterday I bought new Galaxy s4 and when I try to intall the updated apps, it is not installing on it saying "Package file was not signed correctly", so I spent bunch of time trying to figure out if this was because of this new Galaxy S4 phone. I'm glad that I found this topic and this post.
    I'm gonna try it with new SDK build and will let you know the results.

  • I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8  Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

  • My apps won't update on my iPad 1.

    My apps won't update on my iPad 1. I tried resetting the iPad and updating it on my iTunes. They say they are waiting and in the meantime I can't use those apps at all.

    Do you have a song or podcast in iTunes that did not finish downloading? If you do - finish that one first. The apps will not update until that download is complete.
    If that doesn't do it - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out. Restart the iPad. 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 sign in again and see if you can tap on one app and start the download.

  • HT4414 Issue: Apps won't update. Get pop-up stating, "Unable to Download Application. Evernote and/or apps updating cannot be downloaded at this time." WHY? What do I need to do?

    ISSUE: Apps won't update. Get pop-up stating, "Unable to Download Application., 'Evernote' or any app could not be downloaded at this time." How do I resolve this issue?

    See if either of these two things help.
    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.

  • IPhone apps won't update, iTunes Store won't open

    I can't figure out why my apps won't update on my iPhone. I have rebooted, deleted the apps that wouldn't update and froze (waiting) and rebooted after that. I may not have the greatest wifi connection ... I am out of town and dependent on hotel/convention center wifi. Went to App Store to reload the deleted apps (some), but same thing.  I saw a response regarding iTunes, went there...took forever for iTunes to open, it kept stating I couldn't access iTunes Store, and after hitting "okay" probably 4 times to confirm that iTunes wouldn't open...it did.  So I thought that was the problem and returned back to App Store and tried to reload just one app.  Well it's been an hour and a half or more, can't reload it. It creeps along and I thought the app was loaded, but no. I can reboot only, not reset because I am no in home like I said. This is more than "fairly frustrating". What the heck can I do?

    Do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button together until apple logo appears.

  • Does iTunes Connect Christmas break mean apps won't update with new folios over Christmas?

    I have 2 folios that are due to be released to my app this Christmas - both fall within the 22nd-29th window iTunes have chosen to close down.
    So even though I can publish my folios through DPS over Christmas and pre-plan my app description in iTunes accordingly - before the 22nd - will those published folios not appear in my app?
    Thanks.

    You mean updating a paid folio... don't know if that needs approving, too.
    Maybe someone else can chime in here (I have no exp in that)

  • The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

      What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password.  Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

    Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
    You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

  • Apps won't update on iPad

    Arrrrggghhh!   My iPad is buggered. I have 36 updates waiting and none of them will update. I'm away for the holidays so can't connect to my computer.  I've tried powering off normally and doing a hard reboot (power + home) - nothing.  It shows the black bar across the bottom of the app but nothing is happening.  I've done the software update to 5.0.1.  And when I click on just one app to be updated is says that it can't be downloaded at this time. 
    Please help....

    I bought a new iPad in 2012. Everything was fine, but now two apps won't update. Message: "Unable to download application. Could not be downloaded at this time." I have 30GB free space. Affects Sketchpad Pro and Adobe Touch. The biggest problem is that I can't use the apps!!!!! I'm okay with using an older version but this update cycle has locked me out of using them at all. Yes, my iTunes is up-to-date and synched to the correct time zone.

  • Apps won't update after 8.0.2 update

    After experiencing some of the issues reported elsewhere regarding the 8.0.2 update for iPad 2, I was finally able to get it to update via iTunes.  However, now my apps won't update on the iPad 2.  They start to update and then freeze at the start. 

    I too am having some of these problems as well.
    The App Store has now become "unavailable" and two other apps are unable to communicate with their respective networks (in South Korea). Safari has become unresponsive ("Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding").  The Dolphin browser has also just become unresponsive after having worked for several days!
    The UI has become periodically sluggish in scrolling and zooming.
    I have no music or video on this iPad either and it is not broken.  I updated from 7 to 8.1, thinking any bugs would be squashed but this is clearly not the case.
    Would resetting this device help or would that simply make matters worse? This situation is really bad.  If I can not use my iPad for work, I will be forced to buy and use a Samsung notebook tablet, which I never wanted but I need something that is reliable and this is not.

  • My apps won't update after installing IOS 6.0.1. They get stuck. What's wrong?

    You may of had a corrupted install. Connect to iTunes backup then restore. Or update the apps on itunes then sync to the iPhone

  • The APP STORE app on the iPhone 4S not working correctly for UPDATES now.

    It used to be, when I had APPS that needed to be updated, I would see a badge on the APP STORE icon with the number of apps that needed to be updated. Then I could tap on the icon for the APP STORE, and I would see the UPDATE button showing the badge as well. I would also see the actual apps needing updating on screen.
    NOW, even though there are APPS that need updating, there is NO badge on the APP STORE icon, there is NO BADGE on the UPDATE button, and no apps will appear on screen. If I tap the UPDATE button, after a few seconds, the apps WILL appear on screen, the badge WILL appear on the UPDATE button, and, if I go to the home screen, the APP STORE icon has the badge with the number.
    It is as if the apps that need updating do not automatically go to the APP STORE app anymore until I summon them by pressing the update button. This happened ever since I did an iPhone update from backup a few days ago.

    try hard resetting the device, holding the power button and the home button at the same time, and reset all settings (wont delete anything) settings>general>reset>reset all settings

    My apps won't update or install. I would push the update/install button, and it wouldn't do anything. How do I fix that?

    I would do a restore using iTunes.  This will re-install the latest iOS 6 with factory settings, then you'll have to re-enter your settings and re-install your apps.  But everything should work after that.

  • My apps won't update, stuck on waiting.

    My apps won't update, they have that grey bar on them. Every time I try to update them it says , unable to load. Please help?!?

    If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
    After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
    Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.
