IPhone 4 app store app problem: updating or adding a new app will not download. The app "freezes" with "waiting" caption below.

App store app problem: updating or adding a new app causes app to freeze up with "waiting" below app as if it's just waiting its turn, but will not finish and I am unable to use those apps! Help!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Or backup the iTunes library and restore to new computer by:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    - Connect the device to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the device under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the device from that backup.
    Note the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like alls and music.

  • TS1702 The app "Dictionary+" was not installed on the iPhone "iPhone John" because an Unknown error occurred (0xE800002D). I will not download the updates to the laptop to have apps that work stored there. How do I reinstall iOS 5.1.1??

    I do not update apps through my laptop I store the apps that actually have been tested and work on the laptop and test updated apps on the iPhone. After updating the iPhone to iOS 6.0.1 iTunes will not install the apps from iTunes on my laptop to my iPhone without updating the apps online. This is not going to happen from my end and I do not like having control of what MY Laptop and MY iPhone can do seperately forced to be as one. That should be an option of choice not a demand of service.
    If anyone has an option like how to reinstall iOS 5.1.1 back onto my 3GS I would love to hear it.
    Thanks for any constructive solutions or directions other than here to turn.
    I've spent over thirty thousand dollars since 1992 on Macintosh products and I'm on the verge of becoming a Windows OS user based upon this latest Apple tactics of fair use.
    iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.0.1
    MacBook 10.5.8 - eMac 10.2.8, Mac OS X (10.5.8), MBk 2.4 Intel CorDuo 4GB Mem - eMac 800 Mhz IBM 2GB Mem
    One other thing I'm not updating the OS on the laptop; I like the freedom to do as I please with my computer.

    Macintosh has never allowed the user to update and or utilize any app or feature if the Operating System was inadequate to do so. Your answer "iOS 6 requires 10.6.8 to run iTunes 10.7" is ineffective at this point and mute. The update should not have been aloud over Wifi or 3G Network to iPhone without the ability to authenticate resources required or needed to operate both iPhnoe iOS and Desktop OS together.
    The issue, as has already been explained is that the version of iTunes on the computer will not work with iOS6.
    iOS updates via Wi-Fi have nothing to do with iTunes on the computer and does not care what version is on the computer.  Personally, I find it completely moronic to update via Wi-Fi as there is really no option for backup or a restore from backup if the update fails.  To me, it seems like a great way for the user to create issues for themselves that do not need to exist.
    As there is no officially supported method to downgrade the iOS, the only option left if syncing is desired is to upgrade iTunes on the computer.
    I really do not understand why you seem so defensive about updating iTunes.  Update iTunes on the computer, then sync the device, if that's what you want.
    If that's not what you want, other options include updating apps directly on the device via Wi-Fi or 3G or living with it as is.

  • My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. I don't know how to fix it, help?

    My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?

    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
    It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
    Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
    Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security.

  • I am running 10.7.5 on an imac and I want to upgrade to Yosemite but I have no app store on my computer. Is there a way I can get the app store on my imac?

    I am running 10.7.5 on an imac and I want to upgrade to Yosemite but I have no app store on my computer. Is there a way I can get the app store on my imac?

    If you don't have it then you will have to reinstall Lion:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
    Then you can download and install Yosemite if your computer meets the system requirements:
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

    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.

    FCPX crashed and I reported it here. Tom Wolsky suggested I trash prefs, perform an fsck, reboot and redownload FCPX from the App store. The reboot was okay but Safari will not let me access the App Store to redownload FCP. I'm running 10.6.8 but the App Store icon is grayed out. I get a "Safari doesn't recognize addresses starting with macappstore."
    How do I get to the App Store to get FCPX back? I'm using the Trial version now.

    How are you linking to the App Store from Safari? From this page?

  • Mavericks will not download from app store

    Trying to download the app through the app store to install Mavericks on my Mac Book. Will no download for some reason. I definitely have a very strong connection to the Internet. Any ideas?

    What is the error message you are getting?
    Is it asking for some other Apple ID?

  • Imac4,1 will not recognize the app store

    Hello,
    I have an iMac 4,1 and it will not recognize the app store. It did not bother me until i realized that iphoto and the address book were not on the computer. How do i get the computer to recognize the app store so i can download these apps.

    Were you running iPhoto 9?  If not do you have the disks that came with your iMac?  It will have the iPhoto  that came with your Mac, iPhoto 5 (06) on a disk similar to one of these:
    If you were using a later version of iPhoto you will need the iLife disk it came on or, if it was iPhoto 9, get to the App Store to redownload it.  So what version were you using before this happened?
    As for the Address book you'll have to reinstal it from the Snow Leopard disk that you used to install Snow Leopard.  It will be in the Optional Installs.pkg that's in the Optional Installs folder on the disk:

  • Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    The App Store version of Aperture will never ask for a serial number so something got confused on your system. Did you ever have a non App Store version of Aperture installed? Did you download the trial version for some reason?
    You can try moving Aperture from the Application folder to the desktop and then going to the App Store. Log in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture and you should be able to download it again.

  • Can not download the App from App Strore

    I don't know what's going on that I can not download the app from App Store using my iPad2.
    but I can download the app from App Store using my iphone 3S.

    Hey you are not alone. I have exactly the same problem, cannot download to ipad2 but can download to iphone4S. I see a lot of people complaint about this in other discussion threads. Some dated back to January 2012. Apparently Apple has not done anything about it and the problem is spreading to more ipad users now.
