.ipa file will install in iTunes and copy to iPhone or iPad but shows as greyed out with "installing" or "waiting" underneath.

Hey All:
I have an .ipa file that is legit and "signed" (at least I think so) but for some reason will not work on any device. I basically drag the .ipa file into itunes app section and it will show there as a working app.
I select the button that says "install" so that when it syncs it puts it on my ipad or iphone. Once I move over to the iphone or ipad the icon is greyed out with the words waiting or installing under the icon.
Waiting for a half a day at one point before I finally gave up and deleted it from my devices.
Can someone point me in a direction as to what I might be doing wrong? The only thing I can think is that its' not io7.1 compatable but that is all I got.
Thanks
Paul

I am assuming you where generating the .ipa file using a UniversalDistribution Provisioning Profile with an iOS Developer Enterprise Account. If so I had the same problem - turned out it was a Certificate issue - what worked for me was when creating the Certificate which I did manually using Keychain Access I left the Common Name field blank and the .ipa installed properly on my devices. Hope this helps.

I bought a song on iTunes, and it is on my iPad, but the song will not play, it skips to the next song. How can I fix this?

I bought a song on iTunes, and it is on my iPad, but the song will not play, it skips to the next song. How can I fix this?

Music>Songs>Select song>Swipe from left to right to delete.

HT5624 I've opened up iTunes and went to buy a song, but then it came up with a box saying "this is the first time you are purchasing an item on this computer" even though my computer is authorised. What do i do?

I've opened up iTunes and went to buy a song, but then it came up with a box saying "this is the first time you are purchasing an item on this computer" even though my computer is authorised. Then when i put in my password it takes me to the security questions and i dont know what the answers are. What do i do?

A computer can be authorized to play content purchased using a particular Apple ID (the iTunes Store account). However, being authoized to play content is not directly related to being able to buy content using that Apple ID.
For example, a parent may purchase content for a child and authorize the child's computer to play that content, but that does not mean the child is able to purchase content using that Apple ID.
If this is your Apple ID, you should know the answers to the security questions. If you do not, you'll need to contact Apple iTunes Store customer support

Trying to copy across my iTunes library to my newly wiped MacBook but all songs greyed out and iTunes folder now 0bytes...

I'm worried I have copied the files from the MacBook before wiping incorrectly! Can anyone please advise?

I use an older operating system version and do not fully understand the view you have. It doesn't look like a standard iTunes folders structure to me:

If you do have a complete library set as per all the links I provided above, here's how you move it: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

dueing the update IOS 7 7.0.2, ipad show the message is contact the itunes, when I back the house, ipad contact the PC and itunes for recovery the ipad but unsuccessful. Now ipad is not start.please help

I hope this helps. If I understood your question properly, it is the same or similar problem many, including myself, had with the IOS7 update. I'll relay my situation & what I did to rectify it. I have the iPad2 & MACBook Pro. I have an iPhone 5 but won't be updating it.
IF YOU HAVEN'T YET UPDATED YOUR iPAD TO IOS 7... DON'T. NOT UNTIL YOU'RE CERTAIN YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR iPAD, AT LEAST. BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR DEVICE.
FIRST: BACK UP YOUR IPAD, & ALL YOUR DEVICES.
NEXT: CHECK FOR UPDATES ON ALL DEVICES.
I updated my iPad while away from my main wifi connection because using my main wifi for the last update subsequently interfered with my connection thereafter. New problem now.
1.) Once I updated (was it successful/unsuccessful?) Because...
My iPad showed a large apple with a line underneath; then it illustrated & said, "connect to iTunes." i can't accessa thing. (Huh? Doesn't Apple know people TRAVEL FAR away from their MAC with their iPads? I WAS RUDELY LEFT WITH AN INOP DEVICE on the road.)
2.) On my MAC: I checked for all updates, & ensured my iTunes was updated.
3.) I followed thre following instructions from a website (http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ios-7-problems/) I found when researching this common problem. iPhone... iPad... same instructions...
...connect to iTunes and try DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode.
Potential solution:
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button to turn your iPhone off.
Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for ten seconds, and then release the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue to hold down the Home button until you see a pop-up on iTunes stating that “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.”
Your iPhone screen should be blank, if you see a logo or message on it then you are not in DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode.
Select your iPhone in the left hand column of iTunes and select Summary then Restore.
You may need to install the iOS 7 update again.
------------------ THIS WORKED.
I followed the instruction & so far so good. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR iPAD! It will continue to prompt you through SEVERAL items, including the re-installation of one of your previous back-ups. It appears the back-up was successful & that everything is now back to normal.
Except that now I'm stuck with the juvenile appearance of this new IOS. My Notepad no longer looks like a notepad. Why don't I just type on DOS? My APPLE easthetice have disappeared. If I can, I will revert to IOS 6.

TS1368 I have update itunes and synced everything to my ipad..my camera that came with my ipad 2 is missing

I spoke to a support tech and he suggested I update itunes and I did. I synced and backed up everything but my camera app that was origionally installed in my ipad 2 is still missing. I also took off restrictions. Any ideas?

You've checked all your homescreens and app folders for it, and tried searching for it via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?
Also, have you got an Exchange email account set up on the iPad - if you ahve then it's possible that the account administrator is hiding it, in which see if it reappears if you remove the account

I have Icloud through Itunes and Purchased Icloud on my Ipad but when I Sync my my Ipad with my Itunes account it downlods my music directly to my Ipad Hard drive and it's taken up all my available memory storage. How can I load my ituse in Icloud

I have an Iclouds account through Itunes and also I paid to have and an Icloud account on my Ipad but when I sync my Itunes music it's not being stored in the Icloud but directly on my Ipad haard drive. I like to know what do I have to do to correct this problem.

Hey jousley33,
I see that you wish to have your music stored remotely and be able to access it via streaming on your iPad. This is a feature of the service called iTunes Match:
Apple - iTunes - iTunes Match
https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
You may also be able to access the music that you have purchased through the iTunes Store remotely:

Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Have latest updates for mac and iPhoto. several of "events" now show as grey squares with a plan tree, no thumbnails when scrolling over as before. Photos show when clicking on icon but not visible as a group. What gives?

Have the latest updates on my iMac and iphoto. Recently several "Event" folders have turned to grey with a palm tree in the corner. Before there was a "key" photo to help identify the event. The event title is still at the bottom of the square but no key photo. When i click on the icon, the photos that it contained show up, but when closed again disappear. How do I correct this annoyance?
Also: One event that contains about 12 photos has a problem---some of the photos when clicked will enlarge and show individually on the screen and print out, while others when clicken on show a black background with an exclamation mark and will not print. Thoughts?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

I rented a movie on itunes and synced it to my ipad but it says that could not load movie?

I've rented a movie from iTunes on my computer which I synced to my iPad - or at least it appears to have moved over however when I hit the play button on the iPad it tells me that it 'could not load movie', I'm not sure what to do next?

If you rented and downloaded it directly on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app - if it's not then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.

After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.

Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

i tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore the phone

by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

The Norwegian users get my apps in english instead of Norweigan. Desperate for help!

Sorry but you will not get help here for that problem. This forum is about AIR Help, an online help format produced using AIR, it is not about AIR itself.
I'll see if I can move it.

I had ITunes on a Dell laptop. I copied it all to a Compaq laptop via external hard drive. The Dell is deauthorized. The Compaq is authorized. My IPod Classic will not Sync on the Compaq. I have transferred purchases, but "Sync" is greyed out.

If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there. To the right, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs ot the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This is the switch to enable automatic syncing. If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then select what you want on the iPod from the lists below.
Click Apply to intiate automatic syncing between that iTunes library and your iPod (based on how the iPod's Music screen is set up in iTunes).
