HT4623 I'm unable to update any apps. How do I fix it?

I'm unable to update any apps in the App Store. It asks my password and acts like it going to update, showing circle then goes back to update square. It has been like this for months. I have the newest software for iPhone 5. It is like this on all my devices. Can someone please help me?

reset all settings
settings-general-reset-reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
Peace, Clyde

my question is
how long to charge the iPhone battery when it is new?
Some say it is 6 or more hours
thanks for the help
As I said, you won't hurt a lithium-ion battery by not fully charging it prior to use. These batteries don't have a "memory" like older nickel cadmium batteries do so it doesn't compromise it's ability to fully charge by using it with only a partial charge. You also can't overcharge it; your charger will go into "trickle" charge mode once it reaches about 95% charge and remain that way. If you want to wait to use it, charge it overnight. If you don't, just charge it for a couple of hours, the fully charge it once you don't need to use it for a while.

Are you currently on ios 4? If so that's where the backup comes in. You'll need to restore your backup once the software is updated.

HT4623 I am unable to update my Iphone. Mine does not give me the option of software updates, what do I do in that case?

I am unable to update my Iphone, everyone tells me that my phone should give me the option of Software Update and mine doesn't. What do I do in that case?

That option is ONLY available on iphone currently runnning ios 5 or later.
Read the article that you linked. it tell you how to update from itunes. Open itunes, connect iphone

Unable to update my iPhone 4 to 6.0.1.

I am unable to update my iPhone 4G to iOS 6.01. Says download failed.

Correct, because you need iTunes 10.7, and your iMac is too old to support it.
If your iPhone has iOS 5, you can update it over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
But my guess is you don't have iOS 5.
So you'll need a newer computer, or go to an Apple Store and they can help you.

I'm help a friend with a new 4S iPhone. He's converting from an old 3GS. We've gone throughout the activation, update to iOS 5.0.2 and restored. Now I'm surprised to find that the Facetime app is not on his new 4S iPhone. How do we fix this?

I would suggest you read the user guide. There IS no Facetime App for the iPhone.

HT4972 I've never updated my iPhone 4, how can I update it

Have a stupid question but I've never updated my iPhone 4, how can I do it? Do I have to use a computer or can I do it wireless straight off my phone?

what version of iOS do you have? You can update on your iphone if you have iOS 5 by going to Settings>General>Software Update. Otherwise you have to use your computer.

I no longer have the computer I originally used to update my iphone. How can I update my iphone on new computer?
