IPad no longer updates or installs apps

My iPad 2 cannot install or update apps. Memory is plentiful and the iPad has never been jail broken. They just sit forever "waiting". Power off and on did not help. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks for any help on this problem.

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Changed my email address / hence my Apple ID - can no longer update my purchased apps

I changed my email address. Logged into the iTunes Store and changed my address - which is also my Apple ID. The change was applied. I can now low into the iTunes Store with my new email address. But I can no longer update my purchased apps. The iTunes Store claims I don't own the originals and suggests I purchase them. ***? I used their site to make the change. I did not simply open a new account, though that's how the store seems to be treating me. How do I get this reconciled?

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

HT4623 My iPad no longer has the iTunes app nor the App Store app. It will no longer delete or download. Anyone ever experience this. Geek squad had no advice for me.

MY iPad no longer has an App Store app nor an iTunes Store. I cannot delete nor download. I have tried everything but a reset. Do not know which one I should do. My info is backed up and stored in the cloud , HELP!! Sleepless on South Carolina

Check to see if restrictions are enabled. Settings / General / Restrictions. If they are, you will need to enter the 4 digit code that was set when restrictions were turned on. Then check to see if App store and iTunes are disabled as a restriction.
If that is not the case, or if you have forgotten or do not know the passcode for restrictions, you will need to try:
1. Reset homescreen layout - see if they come back.
2. Restore to Factory settings - Try restoring from a backup afterwards. If the problem still exists, restore and set up as new.

TS3274 My ipad shows 4 updates for the apps but the ipad doesn't update

IPad has 4 updates to do and the unit does not update.

If it is the blank white screen in the updates tab - Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

My iPad will not update 2 of apps

My iPad will not update 2 of my apps. It shows the bar on them saying they need to load so I click on them and it says this app can not be uploaded at this time. I'm not sure what the problem is. I have tried to upload them on different types of internet and it will update all my other apps except those two.

Have you tried updating them one at a time? If that doesn't work, then update them in iTunes on the computer you sync with, delete the apps from your device, and then sync the updated ones to it via iTunes.
Cheers,
GB

My IPad is neither updating nor installing apps.

I tried to update some of my apps, but nothing is happening. I even got a new and the result was the same. They are all with the waiting message, but nothing is going on. What can I do ?

Here are a number of things that you can try that have worked for other users in the past. YMMV.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
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>iTunes & App 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>iTunes & App 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 device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
Update the app from the app description page of the App Store. Do a search for the app that needs the update in the App Store. When it appears in the search, tap on the icon to get the description window to pop up. Tap on Update or Install next to the icon. Sometimes that will unclog the waiting jam.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

No audio or sound from my ipad mini after update or any apps used? What should i do please help?

my problem is i can't hear the sounds from my ipad especially when i am playing a music or video from youtube or any game up. This happen after an update? I thought it was just an auto silent mode but unfortunately the volume limit is on full and there is no head phones attached. Please help me enable the sounds of my ipad.

Is it all browsers that you are having problems with, or is just Safari (and I assume that your last post means that other apps are ok) ?
If only Safari then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear History And Website Data (Clear Cookies And Data on iOS 5, 6, 7 and also Clear History)
Close Safari via the iPad's taskbar (I'm assuming that your iPad is on iOS 7+) : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
And do a 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.
And then retry playing the videos.

HT1688 Someone changed the settings on my iPhone so that I can no longer update my apps or download new apps. I don't have the icon on my phone anymore. Can someone please tell me how to get it back?

Someone changed the settings on my iPhone so that I can no longer update or add apps. The icon no longer appears. Can someone please tell me how to add that back?

I should have added that the iTunes app is not displayed on my phone in order for me to add the apps.

Can no longer update my apps :(

Hi. I'm new here and well I had to change my apple Id. I had to change the the email I was using and the password I was using. Well every since I did that I can no longer update my older apps. I find It ridiculous that it wants me to use my old password and email but I can't. I don't know what to do. Help me please. What can I do so I can update them again. I'm so confused.

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
It sounds like you created a new account. you can change the email for an account and not create a new account. See:
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

I can't open .pkg files. i get an error telling me to choose an application to open them. the Installer app is not in my Utilities folder or in System/Library/CoreServices.

Install the UnArchiver and try again.
http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver
There is no Installer.app in the Utilities or Applications folder, there is one in the System/Library/CoreServices.
If yours is not there, then you need to:
1: Backup your data off the machine to a non-TimeMachine drive and disconnect all drives.
2: If you have TM, try to restore the Installer.app from the TM drive and reboot. See if things work.
If the above doesn't work, your going to have to re-install just OS X 10.6 (and bundled programs) from the disk by holding c and booting off the 10.6 disk and simply installing OS X. Then software updating to 10.6.8.
This will replace all bundled programs and OS X, not touch your files (backup regardless) and most third party programs.
Some third party programs will have to be reinstalled form original sources because they install Kext files into OS X and thus kicked out by the 10.6 reinstall form disk.
All should go well, however if you boot to a gray screen or other freeze, reboot holding the shift key down, then update all your third party software to be current to 10.6.8.
Another method is to re-install in to CoreServices the Installer.app from the 10.6 disk using the extraction program called Pacifist from CharleSoft, then running software update to get any updates for Installer.app.

My iPad no longer downloads

My iPad no longer downloads books or apps from iBooks. The store nor the purchased list will not allow redownloading. The app and books will be 'downloading' for ever. So how can I get out of this problem?
I have tried removing iBooks and reinstalling. Nothing helps. The same problem appears.
Anyone had the same problem and found a solution yet?

And it is not possible to remove the 'downloading' but not responding items from the iPad. They are stuck there for ever. Removing iBooks and reinstalling doesn't help. The same items pop up as 'downloading'.
If I could just remove the bad apples, but it is only possible to remove the good items that were completely downloaded and which can be read.

Paid for some items now iPad won't update

I had to update my credit information. I did and apple took the payment. Now my iPad won't update it's app stating that there was a billing issue. Please help me!

I updated my iPad to iOS6 and the YouTube app is no longer there, no restrictions have been set and I have checked them to make sure they haven't been. I can't get it back and have no idea where to find it or get it back on my iPad, anyone have an answer

Just like the topic states........updated iPad, and lost the YouTube app, and no it's not because of restrictions cause I've checked......it's gone and I can't get it back, I've even hooked up to my computer and iTunes to see if I could get it back there also but no luck there either. Any help would be appreciated

youtube is no longer a built in app on ios6. Apple contract with google expired so youtube and google maps were removed. try the app store or youtube mobile website
