How can I update frozen app updates

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

How can I remove app updates in iTunes?

I have an old Iphone 3G, version 4.2.1
Playing in iTunes, I have downloaded some updates i didn't needed, synced, and now, my updated apps are not compatible anymore with my iOs.
(apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, both purchased or freeware)
So, my question is: how can I remove the updates that made some apps not compatible anymore with my software?
Also, is there any possibility to transfer my iPhone contacts to my sim card?
Many thanks in advance!
Andra

"how can I remove the updates that made some apps not compatible anymore with my software?"
You cannot
"Also, is there any possibility to transfer my iPhone contacts to my sim card?"
No. Iphone stores nothing to SIM. You should be syncing contacts to your computer.

I'm on my iPad, so I don't know if this is the page with an actual download. I don't see a button, but assume that is because I am on an iPad. It is in the DL section of Apple downloads.

How can I get App Updates in Notification Center?

Hello,
I am trying to get notified about App Updates from the notification Center. The App Store icon is not listed when I go to "Notifications" in System Preferences. I did see one article about it stating that if I disabled Spotlight in the "Startup .....(I cannot remember the word I saw in the article)" then they will not show in the Notification center. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Try resetting the App Store.

How can I see app updates in iOS 6

Ever since a few months ago, I have been having issues with my iOS 6 iPhone. Updating it is not an option, as it is a company device. The numeral badge appears on the App Store icon from the home screen, and from any screen inside the App Store but the update tab. When I click that tab, the 15 pending updates (and the badge) disappears. It shows all apps as being up to date, even though I know they're not.
I'd have no problem updating each app by searching, but such is hard when the list will not display. Many apps have broken through the update cycle, and I am unable to see which ones to update. Given my 40+ apps, removing all and updating on the computer isn't a viable option either
Whats's the problem?

Close all apps in the back ground. Hold the power button untill the 'slide to power-off' appears. Now let go of the power button and press the home button untill the screen dissapears and warps you back to the home screen. Now, the cache is cleared.
You can also do this 'per-app'.
Enjoy...
P.S.: This works for ALL iPhone OS AND iOS devices, even for the original iPhone.

How do I unfreeze App updates that have paused?

At one point I "needed" to update 30 Apps. So, I said: "update." The update never took. All are frozen. If I attempt to "unpause" a single App, the error message is: "XXX could not be downloaded at this time."
Do I have to delete them all and reinstall?
Thanks.

App store updates are cached as folders inside a folder on the iphone named Downloads before the old app is replaced, together with a {temporary?} sqlite database. Obviously the App Store app looks for content in this folder when it starts up, so while this cached data remains in the folder the iphone will attempt to continue with downloads, even after full shutdown and startup.
There are third party programs which will mount your iphone in the finder and let you browse the disk contents - there are variations on what folders and what connection root they mount at and whether they allow you to modify or delete contents which you do at your own risk - you may need that backup!
So need to pause the downloads, (if you want to make sure the downloads don't restart you can sign out of the app store / disable wifi / 3G data), mount the disk, eg using phoneview or a similar program, navigate to the above folder and delete the downloading updates (which you will see) and the sqlite database. A quick doublecheck is the date that the files have been created; it should be the date you commenced the accidental "update all" event {which really SHOULD have an OK confirmation action IMHO}.
Shutdown and restart, and apps that haven't been replaced should have visually reverted to their previous state.
There may or may not be issues caused by deleting the downloads database file, such as the phone thinking that it has already updated programs that you terminated the update for; it may pay to make a note of all of the paused updates before you take this step.

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
Delete app and download app with your new Apple ID.

modular747,
Had same problem, got answer from supprot community and it worked.
Hold down your power bar (on top) and your Home button (on face at bottom) for about 10 - 20 sec. and your phone will be restored - nothing lost or changed. Worked like a charm for me 20 sec ago.
Good luck

Try quitting the App Store:
Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
Try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

How can I have apps such as Words With Friends only update when on WiFi?

After only having my iPhone for 5 days I have used 65% of my data, and I believe most of it is due to words with friends and chess with friends and hanging with friends. How can I have apps such as those only update when on Wifi, or only update when I tell them to?
I appreciate all feedback.

Hold down the app till it jiggles then a minus sign will appear, tap the sign and the app is gone
