HT1349 For some reason part of the apps on my IPad just say waiting; they were working fine and then just turned dark and say waiting but didn't update when I updated all the apps.  Any suggestions?

For some reason some of my apps suddenly went dark and say waiting.  I tried syncing with the computer and updating all the apps but they stayed dark.  The individual apps in question say they are updated when I looked at them.  Any ideas?  Do I need to just delete them off the IPad and start over?

Hi you guys,four days ago my FT and iMessage worked well on my iPhone 5 IOS6.1.3,but my phone Number did not in the caller ID loop,so I turned both of them off,when I wanted to turn it on again,but failed,I tried so many times,but make no difference,It shows me"waiting for activation".Then I found the solution on internet,and you know there are many possible solutions,just like:
1.change the wifi DNS to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4.and you must turn your cellular ON.
2.restore the phone setting.Settings>>General>>reset>>all the phone setting.
3.restore the network setting.Setting>>General>>reset>>the network setting.
3.reset the network.
4.reset your Date&time.Setting>>Date&Time>>set automaticlly>>ON.
5.change another network to activate.
6.take out the sim card to activate.
I did everything,but nothing happend,it still"waiting for activation"
And today afternoon,i try to activate again,when i turn iMessage on,it activate successfully.OMG,it is really amazing.and the same to my Facetime.
I am so exciting and strange how it happen...
I followed all the setting above 1.2.3.4.5.6,the only difference is i turned the "enable 3G" OFF(Settings>>General>>Cellular Data>>Enable 3G>>OFF),but it keep ON before now.
seriously,i am not sure if the "enable 3G"causes this problem,but it really happened to me,so you guys can try if you have the same problem,
hope my answer is helpful for you.

    My fully charged iPhone 4 shut itself off this morning and wont turn back on. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried holding down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.   If that doesn't work, try that step again but with your phone plug into your Mac.

    First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    Next try DFU mode and restore.

  • My downloaded apps will not let me go into them?? They were working fine an hour ago??

    My downloaded apps keep on crashing before I can go into them, they were working fine an hour ago.. Any ideas pleeeeaaase????

    If it's just the downloaded apps that aren't working whilst the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • I tried updating my ipod, and then it turned off, and then just said connect to itunes, and when i did, it said i had to restore it. so, i restored it, and it did nothing and still said connect to itunes. help?

    i tried updating my ipod, and then it turned off, and then just said connect to itunes, and when i did, it said i had to restore it. so, i restored it, and it did nothing and still said connect to itunes. help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                     
    or
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • I want to loan my ipad to my husband for the summer. If I back it up, restore to factory settings and then load it is if it is his will i be able to get all my apps back?

    I want to loan my ipad to my husband for the summer. If I back up my ipad, reset my ipad to its factory settings and then load it on his imac will I be able to get my apps back later?

    You can backup your iPad to your computer then after that restore it to its factory default. Your husband will be able to use it like a brand new iPad and when he is done then you can plug it back into your computer and restore it to your backup. Everything should be there for you.

  • HT4600 i Get a solid amber light sometimes, bUT all works fine. I have to unplug the airport extreme to reset it and then it turns green and starys that way for a week or so and then turns back to amber. why is this and how do i fix it ?

    I gat a solid amber light once a week on my airport extreme, but all works fine. I have to unplug it to reset it and then the light turns back to green and it is good for another week and then it happens again. why is this and what can i do to fix it ?

    Solid amber on an AirPort Extreme is an indication that the internal power supply is starting to act up.
    If the AirPort Extreme is in warranty, it shouid be exchanged for another AirPort Extreme.
    If the AirPort Extreme is several years old, keep any eye on things. When/if you find that you are having to reset the device several times a week, it's time to start thinking about a replacement device, as the end is near.

  • I was downloading the update on my iphone4 and then it turned off and told me to connect to itunes and now it wants me to recover it but i dont want to lose my stuff

    I was in school earlier today and noticed that my iphone 4 needed an update, so  started the update then after like 2 mintues my phone turns off and when i tried to turn it back on it told me to connect to itunes. Now im connected and it tells me i must restore my phone...And i really dont want to lose my pictures and stuff like that so someone please tell me what i can do...

    Sorry, you have no choice but to restore your phone now. If your data was not backed up before you attempted to update, it is gone.
    Next time, backup before you attempt to update.

  • I can't connect to the router in my home.  Things were working fine as usual - I attended school and connected to their WiFi network as usual.  When I returned home I could not connect to my own home router.  The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens

    I can't connect to the router in my home.  The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens.  I went to school and connected to their WiFi network as usual with no problems.  When I returned home I could not connect to my home router.  The Ipad seeks the router number but nothing happens.  I rebooted the Ipad a few times in the school.  The numbers identifying the router, etc. on my Ipad no longer appear there. 
    TThe Ipad guide says to connect to the WiFi use setup but I can't find the setup program in the Ipad.
    I reset the network settings to the factory defaults but this doesn't fix the problem.
    What can I do to reconnect to my home router?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Hi there, I changed my passcode but forgot it and ive tried to back my phone up but i need to type in my old passcode! any suggestions? thank you very much

    hi there, I im 13 years of age and i recently changed my passcode but forgot it and ive tried to back my phone up and i dont really want to restore it without backing it up and  i need to type in my old passcodeto back it up ! any suggestions? thank you very much appreciate your help

    If you've never synced while this passcode was enabled, you will not be able to backup now without first entering the passcode. bbfc's post is incorrect.
    You will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it, as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you don't have an existing backup to restore to your phone, then you will lose all of your data, as your only option will be to restore as new to remove the passcode.
