IPhone 5 won't update/delete or download apps in ios7

My daughter has been asking me to update her apps. She only has 7 to update but for about 4 days they constantly show they are "waiting". Have done a reset and tried to delete the apps and reinstall. Nothing is working.
Netflix is an example. The update says that it is for ios7 but still in limbo like the rest.
Any ideas or help?
Thanks in advance
Stephanie

Sadly Sounds like the iCloud restore was intrupted if a restart does not let you delete a erase all content is needed
But first back up to itunes to have a second restore option

HT5137 Iphone 4S with 5 update- deleting running background apps question

I cannot close my open background apps. I have double clicked the button to access my open running apps. I have held my finger on the apps trying to get them to jiggle with an x in the upper right hand corner but it won't work. I can't get the jiggling or the x. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Dilbert.
I hope you are still here
I have an i4S that (I assume had the original software when I received it two days ago. The previous owner told me to upgrade to 7.1 or whatever but I just went straight to 8.1.2 (I believe)
The "Hold-em-down-till-they-wiggle approach worked great until I upgraded.
Even the repetetive stress injury inducing upward swipe doesn't work, I have millions of apps destroying my battery.
Even a restart doesn't help. When I restart all the apps just fire up again.
A little embarrassing actually.
Regards

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

My iPhone 5 won't update/install apps !! Any idea why ?

I own an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2.
They are all not jailbroken and are all running on ios 6.0.1
While my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 have no problem updating existing apps or installing new apps, my iPhone 5 won't update/install apps all !!
To be fair, about 2 week ago, all my iPhone 5 update/install won't work but after a day or two, they started downloading.
But now, my iPhone 5 updates and installations have been stalled for a week.
What is happening ? Can anybody please help ? Thanks.

Okay fixed it:
First of all make a backup and sync your iPhone in iTunes.
Next reinstall your iPhone using DFU mode:
(FIND HOW 2 GET IN DFU MODE ON GOOGLE, APPLE DO NOT ALLOW TO PUT IN LINKS HERE :-( )
Then choose to put your latest backup back on your iPhone.
And voila you should see you now can recieve updates from App Store.
(It worked for me)

IPhone 4 won't update email or send texts

My iPhone 4 won't update my email, send texts or show my call log. Restarting hasn't helped

Update (for anyone else who has had this problem):
A few days ago, my iPhone decided to get its act together and fixed itself.
I had seen some indications out there in researching this that if you just give it time, it will correct itself.
Low and behold, after checking in on it every couple days, it finally started downloading and updating correctly.
I don't know that I can really offer anything to do or not do.
All I did was just not worry about downloading new apps, or updating the current ones.
Didn't sync with iTunes/Outlook, and just used the phone in the condition it was in.
After several days, it went back to normal.
I have several educated guesses on what may have caused it, but nothing at all definitive.
Anyhow, there you are: apparently the solution is to do nothing, and let the iPhone sort out its own problems.

Apps on iPhone 5 won't update with ios8

My apps on iPhone 5 won't update after installation of ios8.

Hi davieg502,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that it can be frustrating when your iTunes or App Stores do not function the way you would expect, especially with application updates. In this situation I would recommend the steps located in the attached article to start the troubleshooting process.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Cheers,
Joe

IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
Any ideas?

Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. I want to update to 10.7 or later so I can run iTunes 11 with my new iphone 5C. What update should I download?

If you do not know whether your iMac has a PowerPC or Intel processor, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. You will get this:
If the line by my second highlight arrow includes the word "PowerPC" as in the image, you can upgrade no higher. If it says, "intel," you can--as Niel indicates--update to at least 10.6.8 and possible higher.

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!

I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

TS3694 I tried updating my iPhone with the latest update. It downloads the update to my computer fine, but when it tries to update the phone, I keep getting a fault code of 3014. I've tried it four times.

Try taking it to the nearest Apple Store. They should have computers there that they can use to get your iPhone out of recovery mode. Make an appointment first.

Disable your antivirus and firewall software.

I am updating my iPhone 4 but have never backed it up. If I select "Set Up as New iPhone" will that erase everything -pictures, layout, downloaded apps?

Yes.

My IPhone is set up with an internet downloaded firmware of ios7 because my phone would not restore, the system has failed and I had to do a manual erase fro within the phone. My computer will not accept the phone because they say it's a "Developer?"

Hello buddyacw
You would have to restore the iPhone. Download the latest version of iTunes and then follow the steps in the article below to get it working again.

Downgrading isn't possible. iTunes won't install iOS versions older than the latest compatible release, and if one's somehow installed anyway, Apple's servers won't activate the device afterwards.
