I can't download apps! Every time I try, it asks me to chose a security question and I try, but I just comes up with a blank screen and I can't choose a question. If I click no, I don't want to put security questions, it doesn't install the app. HELP!

I can't do it! I am willing to add questions but I can't because it just shows me a blank screen. I even tried rebooting my entire iPad2 and that didn't work. I know it is not a certain app because I tried multiple ones.... HELP!

found answer on another thread...passing along

Re: Forced Apple ID Security Questions - Choice of 3
Sep 26, 2012 11:38 AM (in response to KirstyHenderson)
Hi all! I have found the answer in another forum and this has 100% worked for me!!!
1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
•From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
•Tap and hold on the app.
•When it starts to jiggle, tap the red ⛔ in the top corner to close it;
***Please close all open apps on your phone***
2) Tap Settings.
3) Tap Safari.
4) Tap Clear History.
5) Tap the Clear History button.
6) Tap Clear Cookies and Data.
7) Tap the Clear Cookies and Data button
See the answer in context
I hope this helps a lot of people!! Spread the word (seeing as apple doesn't seem to want to/care!)

TS4457 I can't download Facetime, every time I quite and try again I get an error.

I can't download Facetime, every time I quite and try again I get an error.

Install the latest version of iTunes and reboot your computer. This is good practice outside of your current problem.
Now, as for your pronlem, Reset your iPad [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release], and try again.

I have the latest itunes and I've just purchased a season from a series but I cannot the episodes even though they seem to be downloaded. I'm going to the purchased section find the episode and pre play but it only comes up with the 30 sec trailer.

I have the latest itunes and I've just purchased a TV series but I cannot watch the episodes even though they seem to be downloaded. I'm going to the purchased section find the episode and press play but it only comes up with the 30 sec trailer rather than the full trailer.. any suggestions?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

TS1702 My iPod touch can't get apps when I touch the install it doesn't install the app

My iPod touch 1g won't install apps even if I go to the app store and click on the install button

That is an Apple problem. See:

Bought a used imac 21.5 I5, and the owner cleaned his stuff off the HD, when i turned it on, it comes up with a gray screen, and, no way to get on the internet, to download OS X

used imac starts up with a gray screen

You will need to purchase a retail OS X install disc.
You can Purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard.
While you are ordering this, call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE and ask for retail software sales and tell them you need a set of original OS system discs for your iMac.
You'll need to give them your iMac's serial number to obtain these. There will be a small, but minimum charge for obtaining and shipping of these discs.
Good Luck!

Need help: iTunes deletes apps every time I sync

I have a new 3g iPhone (8GB), and every single time I connect my phone to my computer iTunes does its usual thing by backing up what's on my phone, then promptly deletes everything. Every single time. This is so frustrating.
I had 38 apps this last time, and I am very tired of re-downloading all the apps every time.
I have asked this question in other places, but either get ignored or get smart *** remarks which are both unhelpful and turn me off from Apple products. So far no one has been helpful even in the least. I'm new to Apple products, my iPhone is my very first Apple anything... I admit I don't have a clue what I'm doing sometimes. So please take that into consideration.
One other thing, when iTunes deletes all my apps, it deletes them from iTunes as well. So I have nothing to put back onto my phone. I have to go back into the Apps Store and re-download EVERYTHING. Not fun. I'm tired of this and I only just bought the phone less than 2 weeks ago. Please help. Thanks.

I had a similar problem... then I realized that iTunes somehow lost the location of the actual app files on my computer. Try this:
In iTunes, Open the Applications Tab (if you don't see this, check Edit> Prefrences> General> make sure you have "Applications" checked) click on one of the apps and Get Info (Ctrl+Click/Right-Click).
If iTunes reports that "The Application Could Not Be Used... Would You Like To Locate...?" Click yes and use Finder/Explorer to locat the actual application file stored on your machine (Probabably someplace like ...iTunes/Mobile Applications) and bingo - problem solved.
For some reason, my iTunes was looking in my Temp folder, when the actual files were stored in their normal spot. In stead of moving the files from my phone back to my computer - it would just delete them from my phone. Now that I have relocated the files for itunes, they reappeared om my phone on the next sync.
I hope this helps you remedy your problem.

I downloaded the new itunes update and now no videos will play. I get a white screen and no sound. also a bunch of songs i have purchased no longer play.

i have a bunch of files that can't be located and some songs that i purchase that when you click on them they skip to the next song. also all my videos, movies and tv shows i purchased come up with a white screen and no sound they show they are playing

"Add Folder to Library" is still where it always was, in the File menu.
The new "innovation" is that the File menu is hidden by default! But you can reveal it by using CTRL+B.

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion?

Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files. One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB. Now I can only find the 1.8MB one. Did this option disappear with Lion? I really need this option!

Sorry but this is not clear.
When you would "import" what?
two files would show up in "images".
Do you mean in the All Images search in the Finder?
IF so:
1.Never interact with photos that are in iPhoto via the All Images Search. This does not understand the iPhoto Library and it's very, very easy to damage the library this way.
2. What you were seeing was the original file you imported and the thumbnail created by iPhoto for viewing on the iPhoto Window. That thumbnail is not designed for user access.
What are you trying to do ultimately?

Cannot download OSX Maverick? My current system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even when logged into the app store I'm getting the message that I can not download at this time. Try Later?

Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.

i7 is quite fast. that's what i am on too. You may need to
It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool". (see Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 )
The order varies depending on your individual needs:
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html or
Det finns också ett svenskt språkiga chatt. http://helpx.adobe.com/se/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

Ask your question.I installed the app" Find my phone for my Ipad. But I also installed that app on my Iphone. but the Iphone app still just shows where my Ipad is located and not the phone, how can I get then both to show location?

I installed the App" find my Iphone on my Ipad.. its working well.
But I also need to be able to track my Iphone if lost... I also have the app on my Iphone but when I click on it to find my phone it is showing me where my Ipad is... how can I get it to show my Iphone also? the chances of me losing my Ipad are less then my Iphone.But I need to be able to trac both.

How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
Best of luck.

Every time i enter my appleID in my MacBook Pro it says-"Your apple ID has not yet been used with the app Store" what should i do?

Every time i enter my appleID in my MacBook Pro it says-"Your apple ID has not yet been used with the app Store" what should i do? i have even verified my appleID account..please help

Hey there Mark,
If this is indeed the first time that you have used your Apple ID in the iTunes or App store you do need to have a payment method the first time you set it up:
Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment methodafter you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Soft-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.

I can't download apps! Every time I try, it asks me to chose a security question and I try, but I just comes up with a blank screen and I can't choose a question. If I click no, I don't want to put security questions, it doesn't install the app. HELP!
