IPhone: Cannot REVIEW applications

While I can purchase and download and install applications, there is no way to review any one of them.
The Sign In box keeps appearing... while the login works during the purchase operations.
This is frustrating, but more frustrating is that there is no news from Apple whatsoever, nowhere (other iphone friends users have the same problem).
Is there a pilot in the plane??

if you mean on the phone itself for apps your looking for an icon called App Store (looks like an A made out of a compass)
if you can't find the app store icon you might have it disabled... check in
Settings -> General -> Restrictions
The one you want on for apps is "Installing Apps"
if it's not disabled try a restart... sometimes the built in icons go awol when moving them around ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430 )

  • I cannot review applications in AppStore even they're installed

    I cannot review applications in AppStore even they're installed on my iPhone or iPad.
    Every time when I try to do that I see message: "You must own this item to write a customer review", I own it :-(
    Does any one get something like that? How can I fix it?

    Hi FabMacBook-
    I think I can get you started.
    This document tells you how to repair your startup disk: Testing and repairing your startup disk.
    Use the Leopard disk to start up your Mac as opposed to the 10.4 disk.
    Any major update of any system software, no matter the platform, will have significant growing pains, especially in the first few days.

  • Cannot update applications via iphone

    I have had my iPhone 3gs 16gb for about two weeks. The day I got it I updated to 3.1.2 software. Since then some apps will update and some won't. Currently I am trying to update Recorder. I get the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I have tried to update the application with wifi at home and at work. I have turned off the wifi and tried updating the app with 3g network and I have tried it with the 3g network and wifi turned off using only the Edge network. All attempts have resulted in the same message. I also tried restarting the phone. Then I tried resetting the network settings.
    I can connect to the iTunes store and download music without any problems. I can delete the application and re download it from the app store, but when I did this it did not recognize that I already own the app and I was charged for the application that I already owned. I am able to update the applications through iTunes on my laptop, then sync to get the application updated that way. This does not address the issue that I cannot update applications through my phone though.
    If anyone has any thoughts please let me know. Thank you for the help.

    We have had that issue on my wife's phone, but like you said its not really a big deal. Just enter the correct password for the login. This is not the case with my phone though. It does not prompt for any other account. It just gives the error message. I've had iPhones for a couple of years now and 99% of the apps we share were bought through my account since my wife has only had hers for a couple of weeks. The apps I've had the problem with so far were bought through my account. I've tried everything I can think of with no luck so far. The first time I noticed this I updated about 6 apps at once and only one of them gave me this issue. That was Gym Buddy. I deleted it from my phone and re-downloaded it, but instead of notifying me that I already owned the app and it was free to download, it charged me for it as if it were a new purchase. The next app I experienced this with was the Recorder app. I downloaded the update via iTunes and synced my phone to install the update. I haven't had any other updates yet but I'll let you know if I have any other problems and what app it is. Again, if anyone else has had this issue and found a solution, please let me know. Thanks.

  • I plug my iphone 5s into my macbook pro, itunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723).

    Every time I plug my iPhone 5s (32 GB) into my macbook pro, iTunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723). And none of my recently bought songs or my ringtones will transfer to my iPhone. I have iOS 8.1.2. I have only had this iPhone for about a month and a half. A week ago when I plugged it in it would say something along the lines of " This iPhone cannot be synced because the Photo library is not set up. Please try again later." What does that even mean? And now it is saying that it can't sync because of an unknown error. Well, how do I fix this? I have not yet downloaded the Yosemite update because it got horrible reviews and everyone I've talked to said their computer has gotten extra slow because of it so I was wondering if I need to download Yosemite so my iPhone will sync. I have tried turning my computer on and off, quitting and reopening iTunes, restarting my iPhone, and nothing has worked. I would really like to be able to transfer my music and ringtones etc. onto my phone.
    Thanks you!

    You have told us you have iOS 8.1.2, and a non-current version of OS X   Do you also have an old iTunes?  Current is 12.0.1.  I'm quite certain iTunes 12 is required to sync with iOS 8.
    The current iPhoto version is 9.6.  You are probably behind there as well, and that likely caused the first "photo ..." error.  As you may know, iOS is changing its approach to managing photos in iOS 8, so I would imagine it would be important to be current with this application.

  • My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

    My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!

    If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • "The iPhone cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."

    I have been having this problems since I got my iphone last year. Early on the phone would sync after 2-3 tries but as of the last 2-3 months I have been only able to sync it 2-3 times even after trying all the solutions presented by the troubleshooting and reading forum posts that seem to have a similar or near similar problem.
    The first message I get after having the phone sync is
    "The iPhone cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
    After itunes attempts to sync again I get a different message that says
    "The iPhone cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device."

    I had the same problem and fixed it.
    "The iPhone cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device."
    I think it is caused by downloading too many apps, or large apps, and then when syncing over USB it doesn't recognise the iPhone and you get "The iPhone cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device."
    To fix this:
    1. Ensure iTunes is closed & iPhone is disconnected but keep USB cable connected to iPhone
    2. hold down CTRL + SHIFT on your keyboard
    3. connect USB cable to PC and wait. If iTunes doesn't start for a minute then start it (keeping hold of CTRL + SHIFT)
    4. if it wont let you start iTunes or all your icons are selected then release CTRL + SHIFT
    5. when iTunes starts it may ask you about safe mode or something similar, say yes
    6. Your iPhone should list as a device as normal, click sync.
    It will then start the sync as normal and you may find it will transfer only one or two apps and you may get the dreaded error message again as I did. However, persist with the above steps and eventually it sync'd all my apps with no error message. Because I have only just done this I haven't downloaded any more apps so it might be a frequent thing but better than the error message.

  • So, I'm getting an error message when I plug my iPhone 4 into my computer.  It says,  "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started."

    Hello People!
    I'm getting an error message when I plug my iPhone 4 into my computer.  It says, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Moblie Device Service has not been started."  What does this mean?  I've never had this error before.  It's also giving the same message with my iPod touch.  Please help!
    Thanks,
    DanaGal

    You can easily check whether you've the Apple Mobile Device in your computer. 
    Right click 'My Computer' , then Manage => Services and Applications => Services.  Apple Mobile Device is listed in alphabetical order.  If none, it means you've not download iTunes into your computer yet.  If yes, please ensure the Apple Mobile Device is in 'Started' status.
    Good luck

  • The iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-40)

    My iPhone cannot synced with iTunes. What can I do?
    It happen after I deleted Mobile Applications folder in my itunes library folder. I have implemented File menu - Devices - transfer purchases from iPhone. But it still cannot synced with the error.

    see
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • IPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed.

    I had trouble updating my itunes for some time, before I was finally able to delete and uninstall all apple software from my computer (iTunes, Bonjour, mobile support, etc). While using the older version of itunes, my device still synced properly with my library. Today I installed the newest software straight from the apple site. While installing, the same error occurred 3 times, but did not stop the install. Something to do with "cannot access the key, make sure you have access. /component/KLJGDJHEGUY33653GBDHGWH" (random letters/numbers). This occurred while running normally and as an administrator. After the install finished, I was prompted with the "Iphone cannot be used, the required software is not installed, uninstall and reinstall 64-bit." I have done this twice now with the exact same results. What is going on here?

  • "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." HELP!!

    This is by far the worst problem I have ever had with the iPhone and I'm about to just give up and get a newer, better smart phone. I have an iPhone 3G and Windows 7 OS. I have updated all my software and cannot sync. I seem to be able to sync all my applications just fine as long as I am not selecting to sync my music. When I try to do that I get an error message that says: "iPhone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." All of my applications cease to work and I get like 1000 error screens that want to inform me of the error and they continue popping up as I close them...one after the other. I selected to convert the files to 128 kbps AAC as well in order to save space. Even if I do not select this option I get that error. I also get a number of other errors that are just frustrating, but this error is the most consistent. I am able to sync my ringtones. I get the feeling that Microsoft and Apple are making their software incompatible for a reason and I just don't appreciate it. I have tried the rememdies suggested on this message board relating to the same error message and nobody seems to know anything. Restores are useless and frustrating. Factory settings work the first time but every sync after that just fouls up my whole iPhone all over again. The same problem is occuring with my wife's iPhone as well. If I cannot get help here or they do not come up with a solution soon I will never buy another Apple product again. I'm not sure if it's an Apple or Microsoft issue, but whatever the case...it ***** BAD and needs to get fixed. I have talked to several people experiencing the same problems and they are pretty ticked off as well. It's just ridiculous.

    Well, attempted again today and now my iTunes locks up whenever I select a song! Also, my Volume Mixer on my Windows 7 will not open. Just terrific. Where's my MacBook???????????????
