Iphone apps wont install or update - please help!

Hi. Hopefully someone can help me...
My iPhone 4s running iOS 6.1.3 wont let me install new apps or update existing apps. When i click on the button to buy a free or pay app the button changes to "install app". Then when i click on the install app button nothing happens ( no progress bar and no installation). After repeatedly clicking the install button the status changes to "install" as if it was installed...except it wasn't.
So far i've tried:
- logging out/in of iTunes account
- rebooting phone
- turning off / turning on phone
- resetting all settings
- deleting apps that required updating that wouldn't update
- deleting ibooks which had a pending download
Tried these multiple times without success in resolving the issue. Both wifi and 3G connection is fine.
Anyone gone through the same thing and have any suggestions? Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Use the Administrator account. Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Then downlad the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Be sure to read over the Uninstaller instructions for system tray, and Make sure you use the Administrator Account.
When you have that done, Close ALL browsers. Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
When fully rebooted, Reboot again (to clear all old files out)
Then Run the Firefox Installer, then Run the IE Installer and when finished, Reboot Once.
Test both browsers here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then Using IE, go to manage add ons (all add ons) and find Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled.
Then Using FF, find the SWF vs 10.1.53.64 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
If you have any questions, just post.
Thanks,
eidnolb
Note: If you don't want Flash Player in IE, then ignore that link.
I would wait and Install Reader after a fix has been released.

i uninstalled firefox and tried reinstalling it but it wont install can someone please help

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps to install Firefox.
You may need to re-download a new Firefox copy.

Itunes wont install properly? please help!!

hello,
iTunes is being very difficult atm! reinstalled the iTunes software and the error message comes 'iTunes wont install properly...'.
I have run a diagnostics test and hoping someone can point in the direction of how to fix it! cannot even connect my iphone device to it.
please help!
thanks

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I lost my iPhone 5 and iCloud or find my iPhone isn't on is there any way I can track my iPhone with the serial number or is there any other way ? iCloud or Find My iPhone wasn't installed or on please help

I lost my Black iPhone 5, 2 days ago. Someone stole it. Find my iPhone app wasn't installed, it's not on. Is there any way I can turn on "Find my IPhone" on my phone from my computer or can I track it with the serial number ? Please help.

I guess no but they can't use it because most likely they restored it and the name of your find my iphone will disappear on your computer even if it is on because it does not have your name anymore.

ITunes is Not Installing to Update please help

I clicked check for updates and then I hit install button since it told me there was an update available but it's not installing or anything..what should I do? Do I have to uninstall itunes or what do I do? Someone please help..I need to update in order to update my phone to iOS 6

Updating to 10.7.0.21 using an iTunesSetup.exe or iTunes64Setup.exe shouldn't touch your content. By way of an example, I've updated to 10.7.0.21 on two different computers using the downloaded installer files (using an iTunes64Setup.exe on the 64-bit system and an iTunesSetup.exe on the 32-bit system) and didn't lose anything.
(That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times, in case of disasters of any sort.)

My iPhone apps keep crashing a lot please help

iphone apps keep crashing a lot and sometimes freeze in the middle please help what am I supposed to do
to stop this?

Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings ...

I also am trying to install itune 8 and im not sure what version itunes I have. I install itunes 8 ( well at least it seems like it) and I get the finished popup and than I restart my comp. and It open itunes and I plug in a new nano chromatic and it says I need itunes version 8.0 what the problem here please help me
and if i remove itunes totally will i lose all of my music?
thanks joe

Hello Razorbacksfan88,
First, in order to check which version of iTunes is installed, launch iTunes and from the Help Menu, choose "About iTunes." This will show you which version is installed. If it is not 8.0.2.20, and you did not get any specific error messages when installing iTunes, then try the steps in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Removing and reinstalling iTunes will not remove your music. The music is stored in your User's folder (or on whatever drive you have your music stored on) and is separate from the program itself.
If you follow the article and are getting any error messages not mentioned there, post the entire error message here and it will help isolate the cause of the issue.

Trouble Installing Software & Updates, Please Help!

So my problem is installing software. I can download the packages just fine, they appear on my desktop and I can open the installer. The installer will start going along with it's business and finally at the very end it tells me that there was "an error installing software" or something to that effect.
When I try to install updates from Software Update it tells me "Make sure you have permission to write to /private/tmp/501 TemporaryItems com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, then try again."
I cannot find this folder anywhere on my computer, Is this a folder? I don't even know.
Any help or insights would be extremely appreciated!!!!!!!

Hi Laura,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
The directory you mentioned, /tmp/501/TemporaryItems/ exists at the top level of the directory tree, but it is Unix stuff that has been made invisible so that it does not get damaged or trashed. You can do a Finder search for the invisible "private" folder, and in that the "tmp" folder is not invisible, it is just inside an invisible folder. Once you find "private", you can open it by double-clicking its Icon in the Find display. Now you can see the 501 folder. Click on that and you see TemporaryItems.
Now you can click that folder, type Apple-i and change the permissions to yourself.
The different 501 temporary folders are here:
/private/var/tmp/mds/
/private/var/tmp/folders/
/.TemporaryItems/
/private/var/tmp/
In the Finder you could also choose "Go to folder..." and enter the path as I written above.

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!
