Problem description:
(MacBook Pro 15” late 2008, OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 installed, no pending updates) computer is running very slow - takes 2-3 minutes to open apps such as Pages, even when no other apps are open. Randomly freezes and becomes unresponsive, requiring forced power down. Randomly logs off. Removed Kodak AIO software via Clean My Mac2, but BonjourAgent still there and requesting access. Cleaned weekly with Clean My Mac2 and running Sophos AntiVirus. 2GB memory installed. Currently 169.99 GB available of 249.2 GB capacity.

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?
I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
(I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

Since I updated iOS 7, without activating automatic app updates, new updates on the App Store tab are missing. Sometimes I get notified about pending updates but when I open the App Store, no updates there.

Pending Updates list does not change
I have 13 apps in the Pending Updates list, and even though they have been updated, they still show under Pending Updates list. Next to them the button from "UPDATE" now shows "OPEN" but they remain in this list.
I have updated to IOS 7. Upon updating, the phone showed that 13 apps required updating. I then tried to click on update all button but with no success. I also tried to update individually but also that was not possible, as app showed to be downloading forever-maybe server was slow.
Hence I downloaded all on the computer and synced. Now these apps remained in the Pending Updates folder on the phone. New updates have occured for new apps and they were updated on the phone and moved down, under the update date section. Except those 13 apps. Very frustrating. ANy help? Would a hard reset and restore work?I have 13 apps in the Pending Updates list, and even though they have been updated, they still show under Pending Updates list.

Way to find out of there are pending updates
Is there a way in Oracle 8.1.6 to find out if there are any uncomitted inserts, updates, or deletes on the current transaction?
I do not need to know what they are, only if there are any at all.
WHY?
I have a piece of architecture in my client that runs on a timer and will sometimes perform updates. I want to skip the timer code if there are any pending updates so that the timer's updates do not get intermixed with updates from the main application.
I tried putting the updates into a package function that used an autonomous transaction, but when it got into production the DBAs complained that the database was generating strange errors that they were told are dangerous, and I had to turn off this functionality.
Thanks for your help,
Chris Elvart
SBC Public CommunicationsChris, there is not any method to see if row are locked before you try to access then so on an 8.1.6 version you could change your routine to use a select for update. If the cursor returns one of the requested rows is waiting on a commit. You can trap the error that indicates a row is in use, rollback, sleep, and then try again.
The problem with this is a select for update must retrieve all the rows before you can process any of them so unless the target set is small this may not be practical. Also you can commit only at the end.
You could select all the target rows in a cursor then perform a select for update on each row. With error trapping this would allow you to skip pending rows.
Just some ideas for you to consider.

Apps Showing Pending Update in App Store But Can't Upload
I Have several apps that are no longer showing after the recent OS update. They have been showing Pending Update for a month or so. I cannot update them because there is no update option. I can no longer use the apps because they disappeared although they still show in Settings On my IPAD Air.
Hi Scross0613,
Not sure why those apps are no longer on your iPhone, or why there's no update button.
Have you tried downloading them from the Purchased area or from a computer with iTunes?
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Download previous purchases on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Make sure your iOS device meets these system requirements:
iOS 4.3.3 or later
You need iOS 5 or later to download items to iPhone (CDMA model).
iBooks 3.0 or later to download books
Apps
Tap App Store.
If you're using an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Updates, then tap Purchased.
If you're using an iPad, tap Purchased.
Find the item that you want to download.
Tap the Download icon. After the app downloads, you can open it from the Home screen.
See also "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC".
Best regards,

How to removing a pending update that is preventing a successful boot
Hi,
For an unknown reason (my guess is an update was automatically applied and automatically restarted), my computer rebooted overnight and in the morning was stuck in a failed boot loop. When trying to boot I get the message:
"Preparing to configure windows"
"Do not turn off your computer"
Then after a few seconds the computer reboots and does the same thing. Safe mode yields the same result. Using the F8 option to restore last known good configuration doesn't change anything. I can boot into the recovery console.
I have tried running SFC /SCANNOW in a command prompt in the recovery console and get the message:
"There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again."
Restarting of course doesn't change anything. So it seems something happened to an unfinished update and is still pending. I think if I can remove this pending update I might be able to boot normally, or at least run SFC and hopefully then boot
normally.
Does anyone know what I should try to remove this pending update that appears to be preventing a successful boot?
Thanks!Hello deuce_mn,
This is the command to run when booted offline at a recovery command prompt
dism.exe /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This is supposed to revert all pended updates, however if System Restore is not working, then there may be other issues as well

I'm thinking this may help with a similar problem I'm having with SP1 (fatal error applying update during boot). I noticed that when I'm at the recovery command prompt, the system image is moved to E: vs. C:. Will DISM work in this case & will
it restore my System Image, pre-SP1 failure, to C:? Also, does it matter whether I run the recovery command prompt from the current installation or do I need to start from the original install media? Oh, one more question... When I installed
Windows 7x64, I used a minimal unattend.xml file to force all User Profiles to another, non-system, disk drive, currently D:. Both my system drive & user profile/data drive appear unharmed so far. -
"pending updates" status does not go away after updating apps
When I download app updates to my computer (Windows 7) via iTunes and then sync to either my iphone or ipad (iOS 8.1.2), the updates actually install and the apps can then be opened. However the status of the applications in the App Store remains as "pending updates", and the badge notifications do not go away, even if I do a hard reboot. If I update over wifi, there is no issue. This is very annoying. Any suggestions?
Ok since my last post the notifications does not go away on its own. There has to be a way to remove that...

On iOS 7, I have Apps in the pending updates section that are up to date.
Since I updated to iOS 7, there are several Apps in the "Pending" section but there are no updates available for them. Many of them got their last update in October 2012! And instead of an "Update" button, it just says "Open" to the right. Is there an easy way to fix this?
I have the same problem as A_Freakout. We are not discussing the new format in the updates area.
In ios7, under updates there are two sections. The top section appears only when there are updates available and it is called "Pending Updates". The lower section is all the apps that have been updated and is divided into the dates the update occured.
My problem is that, 13 apps have stayed in the "Pending Updates" section, even after they have been updated. Thus it shows that I have 13 apps to download.
Hopefully this explains the problem better. -
Pending update in mac appstore???
Hallo,
There is constantly a pending update in app store of an app that is not installed (never has been, don't even know what it is) on my macbook. The forementioned app is: Nyan cat- lost in space. What should I do to remove the indication?First of all I want to thank you for your willingness to help me.
Regarding your question, I must admit that I don't remember exactly when this annoying indication appeared. Also I am fairly new to MacOS so I constantly keep adding and removing apps on my mac untlill I find the ones that suit me best. Some apps are downloaded from MAS some from other sources. However I did some research on the forum I found a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/19810171#19810171) and I believe that this is the source of my problem. -
Deleted Apps have pending updates
I have an IPod touch (Model - ME978LL/A) that has pending updates for weeks. I deleted the apps - snapchat, Pandora radio and Free Puffin Web Browser. The apps are still in the pending updates area with the indicator. I tried to reinstall the apps from the iPod and from iTunes connected to the computer-PC. No luck. Unsure of what to do.
iOS 7.1.2
Thank you for any assistance.Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Backup and restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Last, restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
App Store icon doesn't display pending updates (notifications)
I've noticed that with many of my friends, they get the notification on top of their App Store icon saying how many apps are pending updates. I do not get these notifications, unless I open the App Store application. If any apps have updates, let's say 3, when I close the app store, then I have the little 3 on top of the App store icon. how do I get these notification automatically without first opening the app store?
If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I attempted to install the "optional update" KB2975719 in Windows 8.1 however when the computer restarted the update failed to install and the computer would not boot correctly. After trying a number of solutions including the automatic repair
and other possible solutions I had to do a restore to get the computer to reboot. However the KB2975719 remains in the update history list a pending restart. If an update is installed I can uninstall it however I can not determine a way to delete an update
that is pending. I've had to do a restore twice because of what seems to be an issue with this update.
Question - how can I delete an update that is pending restart?Hi,
Have you tried the suggestion provided by Milos in order to successfully install the updates? What is the result now?
As I know, when an update is shown as "pending restart" in update history, it is already installed in your system, just need a restart to make it take effect, we can still uninstall it in "Installed Updates", see the screenshot below.
