I am online, however, my apps are not syncing. for example, words with friends is not showing most current info and the "updating games" wheel just keeps spinning. the same is happening with other apps... suggestions?

any thoughts?

Have you tried a reset ? 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.

  • Iphoto will not open . Wheel just keeps spinning and spinning. Cannot reboot

    My IPHOTO app will not open on my computer. When I open the app the wheel just keeps spinning .  If I try to upload a picture from my library to facebook it tells me I need to upgrade to IPHOTO 5 or above.but then my computer tells me there are no upgrades needed for my computer.  What is the issue here ? My photos just never appear.  Only the little wheel spinning

    what version of iphoto do have? Of the OS?
    If iPhoto will not quit you can force quit - Apple menu ==> force quit
    You can try to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • How do I get Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track

    How do I get stupid Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track #3 is a duet w/ "Jane Doe", it treats it as a separate album! What can I do

    Hi
    All my tracks are MP3.
    In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column.  If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
    If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

  • Hello, we are interested in more information on the Image Size Fit To option in phototshop.  For example, if we open a 46x25 inch 120 dpi image and choose Fit to 4x6" does all of the resolution remain?  Any links to tutorials in this area are appreciate

    Hello, we are interested in more information on the Image Size > Fit To option in phototshop.  For example, if we open a 46x25 inch 120 dpi image and choose Fit to 4x6" does all of the resolution remain?  Any links to tutorials in this area are appreciated.

    Let's look at the first thing: Aspect Ratio  46W x 25H does not fit 6W x 4H exactly. You get 6W x 3.621H If we preserve Landscape Orientation and Aspect Ratio. If I set H to 4, W will be 7.36 inches, clipping your picture.
    You'll have to decide on how to clip off that 1.36 inches so your picture can be 4 x 6 in order to solve that problem.
    Notice I set Resample off. Throwing out pixels is destructive editing. So what I am doing is "Scaling", changing the Print Size without touch the pixels. Notice how high the resolution goes up.
    To Resample or not will be your decision.  I hope I answered your questions properly. Let me know otherwise.

    My ipod touch will recognize my home wireless network but when I try to select it the wheel just keeps spinning. It looks as though I have a good signal but my router is an older apple extreme. I've updated to the lasted firmware but it's still not working. I have two older imacs and a wii that connect to the router. Any thoughts? Thanks

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router

  • I am applying an update and it seems to not be connecting to the update server. it just keeps thinking....

    So an update popped up, I hit yes and then it said it recommended that I apply the update as soon as possible. I hit the apply button and now its just the window saying connecting to the update server with the green bar..... but its been that way for the last 15 min now making me believe something is not working properly.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
    Vista and Window 7:
    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Trying to run an install to update to Firefox 3.6.16 but Software Update is not making any apparent progress past "Connecting to the update server". Just keeps running... Is this a problem or does the update just take a really long time?

    My computer's current version of Firefox is 3.6.13; clicked on Software Update and received an "strong suggestion" to download the newest version 3.6.16. Clicked to update and now "Downloading Update" has been showing "Connecting to the update server..." for 10+ minutes.

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program.
    * Firefox 3.6: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Hi, can anyone help with how to shuufle songs on playlist with the iphone 4. mine just keeps repesting the same song..thank you

    Hi, I can't shuffle songs on my playlis (iphone4)it..keeps repeating the same song...aaagghhh..thanks

    I had a similar problem and I finally got rid of it. I had bought a single song from itunes and synced it to my iphone. A few months later I bought the whole cd which included that song from a record store and imported it to itunes. I deleted the previously purchased copy from my library but the next time I synced my phone I had two copies of that song again.
    Try deleting the song from your itunes library. The next time you sync your iphone it will say something like "you have purchased content on your iphone that is not in your itunes library, would you like to transfer this content to your library? If you don't transfer it it will be removed from your iphone."
    Select not to transfer the content (assuming you have no other new songs you need to transfer) and you should be rid of the extra copy.
    I hope this makes sense and helps.

  • Numbers is not responding...the colorful "thinking wheel" just keeps spining and won't let me do anything

    How do I get this to stop?  It's been 45 minutes.

    I don't remember the number of times I wrote that it's useful to work with "Activity Monitor" running to be able to check if the used applications are behaving correctly (sometimes heavily busy) or if they are frozen.
    As Numbers may be heavily busy, I'm not sure that you may start "Activity Monitor" now.
    Try to do that. If you may start the app, you will be able to see the true state of Numbers.
    As you gave us a ridiculously short set of infos, we can't give an accurate answer.
    I already saw Numbers busy for more than an hour.
    Sometimes it's its normal behavior.
    Sometimes it's the result of a bad design used by the user.

  • Upgraded to iOS 7...cannot download apps...it just keeps spinning...what a waste!!

    I've upgraded to iOS 7and now unable to connect the app store and downaload the apps. The wheel just keeps spinning. Very disappointed with the upgrade!

    I had the same problem with an iPad mini.  I rebooted using the circle and the power button and it works..... try it.

  • I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week.  I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting.  I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails.  Any ideas?

    At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

    I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball).  Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?

    Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
    Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
    If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
    Quit the MAS if it's open.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
    Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
    From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
    Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the MAS.

  • I have the new iphone and thought I could download Netflix but only found "Netflix Instant's  Best Movies" in the apps. I pay for Netflix monthly. Is it not possible to download it here and use it on the iPhone?

    I have the new iphone and thought I could download Netflix but only found "Netflix Instant's  Best Movies" in the apps. I pay for Netflix monthly. Is it not possible to download it here and use it on the iPhone? Insight appreciated.

    I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
    Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
    Best of luck.
