I have an Ipad 2 and have about 20 apps that will not update, How can I delete these?

I have some apps that will not update on my IPad 2.  They say they are installing, but Installing is grey..not black, and they have been like this for several weeks.  I cannot find out how to finish the updates or delete them.  Can someone suggest a solution?  Thanks, Ann

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

  • I recently purchased and downloaded an app that will not open.   Who do I contact for help with that?

    I recently purchased and downloaded an app that will not open.  Who do I contact or what do I do to fix this problem?

    On what device are you trying to open it? ipod touch? iphone? ipad?
    Did you try to restart the device? Reset it? Restore it?

  • I have a hung up app that will not update or delete that drains the battery. How do you fix this?

    I chose to update a app. It says waiting under the apps icon but will not update. I click on it to pause the update but it still drains the battery. I try to delete the app but it won't let me. What can I do?

    Try the power off. Press home button and the on/off button at the same time for a few seconds. Then slide the tab to power off.
    Then press the on/off again after a few seconds. Once it powers on fully, tap and hold on the application to see if it will start wobbling with a x on the corner, if yes, delete it.
    If no, wait for someone else to suggest a better idea.

  • I have Firefox/Yahoo and I only want Firefox (hate Yahoo). How can I delete Yahoo?

    I currently have a tool bar YAHOO and don't want it or need it.
    How do I delete the Yahoo tool bar

    You can disable or remove most toolbars here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
    On the left side, click Extensions. Then read down the list. Usually the active ones are listed first, then the inactive ones.
    If the add-on can't be removed there, you may have to go to the Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel.
    Any luck?

  • Remove crashed app that will not update?

    I tried to install an update to iOS Chrome app on my iPad 3. the download crashed and would not restart, and the original app would not launch.
    So I deleted it.
    Now it's gone, but I can't reinstall Chrome because the AppStore seems to think its already installed.

    I have already restarted my iPad.
    Thanks in advance

  • Laptop computer frozen and trying to reboot but will not. How can I quit and restart?

    How do I restart a computer that is frozen and tries to reboot and will not do anything else? Is there a way to shut it down to restart. I thought I remember there were some keys to shut down and restart.
    We have disconnected the power and any external devics and no CD.

    Press down on the Power button and hold it down for 5-10 seconds until the computer shuts down.

  • Trying to use system instrument but its telling I have to download, I click ok but APP store says no updates, how can I get these instruments and/or effects?

    So I'm new to Garage band and I know I can use my computer keyboard as a midi interface for some instruments, i.e. drums. However I notice that when I click on some instruments like horns or guitar a pop up opens that says I need to download them at about 1.2 GB of free storage. I click on ok to start the download and the app store pops up but after loading it tells me there are no updates available. Could it be possibly bc I am using the GB that came on the computer and not the paid app or is it just me not doing somehting right? Not sure what else to do and I want these instruments to fool around with and create awesome music...any help would be appreciated.
    Mahalo!

    You should be able to download and use the additional loops without a problem, but it works not always smoothly. And there have been different fixes that worked for different people. See this long thread if something will work in your case:
    GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15137750#15137750
    Sometimes you simply need to reload the "Updates" tab of the AppStore using ⌘R after signing in with your AppleID and starting the download.

  • Have a download that will not download how can i identify what it is and how to delete it?

    Have Iphone 4 have a file that is "hanging out" that fails when I try to download.  What steps do I need to do to find out what the file is; and is it possible to delete?  THX

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
    For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer.

  • I have a Macbook and an external display that will not connect.

    I bought a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor from Apple but the Detect Displays under system set up does not recognize my external display.  The Mini Display port doesn't fit into the port on my Macbook with the Display printed above it but into "Y" port.  The picture on the package for the adaptor matches the ends of the adaptor, but they don't seem to fit where they should.
    Is that the issue or is there something else?

    Thank you.  I didn't know where to look for that information.

  • HT201272 several of my purchased itunes songs have an exclamation point next to them, they will not play, How can I fix that problem??

    Hello,  Can someone assist me with trying to figure out how to locate previously purchased songs on my itunes library that are showing up with an exclamation point infront of the titile.  I try and play the song and i get a message stating that Itunes cannot locate the original file... HELP:/

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • I have a second generation nano. I have several podcasts in my library that will not sync to the nano.  These podcasts all have a half cirlce icon to the left of the name in my itunes library.  Whats up?

    I have a second generation Nano.  I have several podcasts in my itunes library that will not sync to the device.  These podcasts all have a half circle icon that appears to the left of the title.  Whats up?

    Well I could do that but that kinda defeats the purpose of paying $600 bucks for this piece of **** that I'm supposed to be able to dump 32 gigs (well u know what I mean) of music on and manage automatically the through this supposedly wonderful piece of software that's supposed to do most of that for you. Okay I get that computers are only as smart as the people using them... Which apparently is not that smart in this case... But ya thanks for the advice that my two year old daughter could have given me. Anyone else?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

    I have a purchased app that will not show up in the cloud and is no longer in the app store. Is there a way to get it from my iPhone to my iPad?

    You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it
