HTC Eris suddenly started to download updates for HUGE number of apps

This started this week. the phone is 2 yrs old.
Currently, Ongoing says "Skype, Skype, and 56 more ..."
I have gone to Adao file manager ->Applications and I don't see Skype.
I uninstalled it from the phone yesterday in response to a notification similar to the
one quoted above.
My phone is constantly trying to download lots of apps every time I turn on WiFi.
What can I do to kill the sorceror's apprentice?

Problem was solved with help from Verizon customer support.  Powered down, removed battery, restarted and the symptom is no longer present.

  • My macbook air is updated but now I can't download updates for My Alarm Clock, apps and iTunes.

    My Mac will try to download the app to 100%, but then it tell me that it is unable to download. I have tried to turn off the firewall and restart. My itunes will not update My Alarm Clock or anything else.

    (iTunes) iOS based apps (for iPhones, iPads, and the iPod touch) can be updated directly from the device.
    Tap the App Store icon then tap Updates at the bottom of the display.
    For your Mac...
    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Try updating the My Alarm Clock app.

  • How to automate download update for Apps ?

    HI,
    Is there a way to automate downloads updates for iPhone or iPad (Apps) from itunes?
    I did not find a way to do it with AppleScript?
    There is a post said "No solution" for that option (from 2010). I wanted to know if the situation as changed since ?
    Many Tahnks

    Go into the App Store, go to the "Featured" link on the bottom left, and scroll all the way down.  At the bottom, you'll see your account information.  Click on that, enter your password if needed, and click "View Apple ID".
    Near the bottom of that display, you'll see "Turn off Genius for Apps".
    These instructions work for iOS 6.  Your post says you have an earlier iOS.  They may not work there.
    Suggest you get iOS 6.0.1 if you don't already have it.

  • HT2128 I keep on getting updates for Adobe Flash Player.app, are these safe to download?

    I keep on getting messages to download updates for Adobe Flash Player.app however, I always get a warning message since it is an application downloaded from the internet and the question "Are you sure you want to open it?" Are these safe to download, or shall I cancel it? Perhaps it is best to go to the Adobe site? Any recommendations? Thank you very much.

    It can be easier to remove Adobe Flash Player from OS X entirely, and be done with the effort involved.  Adobe has a tool to remove Flash Player from OS X available.  (If you really need Flash capabilities, there's a version embedded in the Chrome web browser that might suffice.)
    As for your question, if you have gone directly to the Adobe web site (by entering the URL in Safair, and not by clicking on anyting in email or on another web site), and have downloaded Adobe Flash Player updates from there, then you're reasonably safe.
    If you've downloaded the Adobe update bits from the Adobe site (and again, not from any other site), then clicking through the "yes, I know I downloaded this" is probably safe.

  • Suddenly receiving error 8003 when downloading updates for apps

    Hello -
    I've suddently started receiving error 8003 when attempting to download updates to some of my apps.  I continue to be able to download other content - new music purchases for example - but not this these 16 updates.  I'm running iTunes 10.5.2 on OSX 10.6.8.
    Any thoughts on this situation are much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try deleting the partial cached downloads in the iTunes media folder.
    That error is outlined here -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~)  refers to your Home directory.
    Windows  Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows  7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows  XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My  Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.

  • Can't get Windows update to download updates for other MS products

    Hi,
    Installed W7 Home Premium on a single system and for one or another reason I cannot get Windows Update to download updates for other Microsoft products. MS Office University 365, MS Visual Studio Pro 2013 and Microsoft Expression are also installed on this
    system.
    I click on Find Out More in the Windows Update page and IE 11 opens. It first goes to http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx?ln=en-au and then redirects to http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5
    Here is a picture of the page:
    As you can see there is no change settings button as described at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/change-windows-update-installation-notification#1TC=windows-7 .There is no way I can change settings so updates for other MS products are also downloaded.
    Firefox is my default browser; even if I load the link in Firefox I get the same result.
    Thanks,
    Imran

    Don't use a web browser to do that. Since Vista, WindowsUpdates are no longer performed in a web browser, it's in Control Panel. (that's why the
    www.update.microsoft.com web page is telling you to check Start Menu")
    The Change Settings button, appears in the Windows Update applet in Control Panel.
    Click "Start", and in the search box, type in: Windows Update. Or, look on Start Menu. Or go to Control Panel/System&Security/WindowsUpdate.

  • Error -3150 when downloading update for iPod touch app

    I just started getting an error when I try to download an update for one of the apps I have on my iPod touch.

Any help would be appreciated.

    I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

    I think I solved the problem by initiating the update in a different way, from the itunes panel where I can click to start the update, instead of saying yes when asked if I want to update when itunes launches in response to the iphone being plugged into the computer.

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • HT1430 Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?
