Ipad won't update apps on new iMac but iPhone will when sync'd with usb

Hello,
I have the new imac and exported my itunes library from my old imac. I updated my apps in itunes. Then I sync'd my iphone 4s via the USB cable and it backed up and updated apps. Saw it processed steps 1 thru 7 (7 is update apps on iphone). Disconnected ipad 3 to new imac via USB cable and it only performs steps 1 thru 6. The apps will not update unless I click the "update" button on the itunes screen. Anyone else encounter this and any solution? Thanks!

Well I resolved it, by right clicking on the devices (for my ipad) and clicking "Sync".

TS3274 iPad won't update apps...

I'm having trouble with my iPad - Won't update Apps...

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.

Ipad won't update apps

Thought I'd post this in case anyone else is running into the same issue...
My iPad kept showing that there were lots of Apps to update (72 in my case!). I used the Update All in the App Store, but my iPad never finished updating despite waiting hours and even days later it still wasn't updated. Worse was that all the Apps that iOS was trying to update showing an empty progress bar on the App icon (instead of the blue progress bar through the app as it updates).
The word "INSTALLING" was greyed out on all the items in the App Store Updates section. Ugh, what to do? Didn't want to do a restore and lose all the data.
Here's the slow but sure way to fix this issue (hit like if it works to keep this post active for others):
- Goto the "App Store" and Choose the "Updates" tab. Look at how many apps need updating and write down which apps have the greyed out "INSTALLING" . DO NOT HIT UPDATE ALL, this will only add more backed up apps to the update queue.
- Hit your Apple Home button to go back to the main App screens. Start with the first of page of Apps on you iPad. Look for any App icon that has an empty progress bar in it, and double click it to interrupt the update. The iPad should pause for a second before delivering a message that the update was not applied and then show the original icon of the App. If you get a WHITE blank icon it means the App has been corrupted and you'll need to hold down on the icon until the little X shows up to delete the App (write down the name so you can go back to the App store and install it again). You'll need to go through the entire list until you've stopped the update process of all apps.
- Go back to the App Store and into the Update section and verify each App has a normal selecrtable "UPDATE" button available. DO NOT HIT THE "UPDATE ALL" button in the upper left corner or you'll just recreate the problem again. One by one hit the UPDATE button next to the App that needs updating. Do not update the next app until the previous App is finished. You are looking for which App's update button is going to stop the update process and get stuck! Watch the blue bar on each App until it completes. When it is successful the "UPDATE" button switches to an "OPEN" button. Once you find the App where the blue bar doesn't progress at all you'll find the culprit that caused your Update train wreck.
- You'll need to go back out to the main desktop, find the page and possbily folder that the App is in and hold your finger down on it until it gives you the option to delete it (the X in the upper left of the app icon). Once you delete this app you can go back to update the apps several at a time until you are finished. You will then want to plug your iPad into your Mac/PC with iTunes, or do an iCloud sync to backup your iPad.
Take the time to go back to the app store and flag the offending App to let other users know this App was the cause of your update probelms. Sometimes these issues are noted in the App's release notes with text saying, Users will need to manually delete the previous version and reinstall the App in order to get the latest update.
Hope this helps! Hit like if it does, it something else worked please hit reply and share.

I have the same problem as the OP. Wife clicked on UPDATE ALL in her iPad mini w/iOS 6.1.3, and the iPad tried to update 20 or 30 apps. All ended up with a darkened icon with an empty progress bar, and "Waiting..." displayed instead of the app's title.
Before finding this thread, I powered the iPad off then on a couple of times, and also performed a hard reset. Neither intervention had any effect.
I tried to follow the recipe above. Unfortunately, double-tapping on one of the stuck apps doesn't work as described:
"The iPad should pause for a second before delivering a message that the update was not applied and then show the original icon of the App".
Instead, the icon goes very dark for a second, then returns to its previous state (Waiting...).
I've deleted most of the affected apps, but a few have large amounts of associated data that I am loathe to erese. Fortunately, the iPad was backed up this morning, so in theory I should be able to restore it from the backup.

External Drive (OWC AL PRO) won't mount on on new iMac but mounts on my old macs HELP!

I have an OWP Mecury Elite AL PRO 4 TB external hard drive that mounts up on my friend's iMac (running snow leopard) and on my friend's macbook pro using firewire 800...
I just purchased a new iMac that came shipped with Lion. It will not mount up using firewire 800. My iMac doesn't have firewire 400 ports so I am unable to test it that way. Any suggestions? I called OWC and they had no solutions for me....

You've probably already tried this but have you checked this box in Finder Prefs?

TS2972 I can see the song titles in itunes shared library on my new imac but songs will not play. I have a pc with wifi network that the main music library is on. tried saving songs from pc to an external drive then to new mac but thats not working eithe

attempted to transfer itunes music from pc to new imac. didn't work. apple suggest using sharing method. main library of music is on pc. did those steps and shared library shows up on mac but when you click on the song to play it doesn't play or maybe ther is no content? any suggestions?

Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

I just downloaded an app to my desktop but it will not sync to my iPad

I have done this many times before and it worked fine. But today two apps I downloaded to my mac desktop and they show up in my list of apps on the desktop. But after I sync the iPad to my desktop it just goes throught he procedure of backing up and doesn't put the two new apps onto the iPad. And I checked that the operating system is compatable in the app requirements. How do I get them to transfer to the iPad? Thanks.

They are ios apps, sorry for not specifying. I just went to my iPad, then iTunes and they show up there. Under the apps it says "install' But when I do that it says the app requires ios 6.0 or later and only have 5.1.1. When I read the requrements on the app on the iTunes store on the computer it said it only required 3.1. Anyway, can I put ios 6.0 on an iPad 2 and more important will ios 6 slow down or not run smoothly on the iPad 2? Thanks.

Just got a new iMac my itunes will not sync music to iPod

just got new imac itunes will not sync music to ipod

I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD IMAC WITH ITUNES. I DECIDED TO TRY AND SYNC AN OLDER MODEL IPOD. EVERYTIME I CONNECT THE IPOD USB TO THE IMAC, I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:
Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER USB DEVICE CONNECTED. NOTHING AT ALL. IT SEEMS MY IMAC IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AN OLDER IPOD??
HELP. THANK YOU.

Reminders on iCloud, my iPad mini, MacAir, and Mac mini all sync well. However my iPhone will not sync Reminders with iCloud. It appears to be setup identically to the iPad??

Reminders syncs well with my iPad mini, MacAir, and Mac mini. However my iPhone 5 Reminders does not. Items I enter on one of the devices show-up on iCloud and the other devices except for my iPhone 5. Vice versa if I enter a new item on my iPhone it does not show up on the other devices or iCloud. Essentially the same things happens when I complete an item. When I review how iCloud and Reminders is setup on the iPad and iPhone it appears to be the same.
Charles

First check that all your settings are correct, that reminders syncing (calendars on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the reminders you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device by tapping the icon with three lines in the top left corner of the screen, or the right side panel by clicking on the small triangle to the right of the word 'Reminders' in iCal on a computer), non iCloud reminders will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your reminders are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking reminders syncing (calendars syncing on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling reminders syncing.

My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

Try this first - Reset 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.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

IPad won't update apps after upgrading to ios8 ?

Hello,
I have been having touble with my apps getting updated. This seemed to have started after I downloaded the ios 8 on my iPad. I didn't have the problem before. I had 15 updates its now down to 8 but I have been waiting for the past 4 days for it to complete. It keep stalling/pausing and I have to restart it. I have tried to turn the iPad off and on. I don't want to have to uninstall the apps and redo all of them. Is there something wrong with my it because of the iOS 8 update? Is there a recommendation or a resolution to solve the issue. Thank you

PC won't detect just the new pics on iphone 6 when downloading?

for or my iphone 4S the PC used to default check only new photos on the phone for download. The new phone 6+ this no longer happens and the PC checks all photos by default for download. Is there a setting on the PC or iPhone so that only new photos not previously downloaded will be checked off (selected) for download?

I don't know the answer, but I always use a photo management app to download all photos and delete them from the phone after downloading, so the problem never occurs.
