IPhone installs one app at a time, why?

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2. Both are running iOS 6.1.3. For the longest time, the way my iPhone and iPad install or upgrade apps has differed.
For my iPad, the install/update process for multiple installs/updates works like this:
1. Download first app
2. Start installing the app and simultaneously start downloading next app.
For my iPhone, the process works like this:
1. Download app.
2. Install app.
3. Once install is finished, download next app.
In other words, my iPad will download an app without waiting for the prior one to finish installing, while my iPhone downloads and installs one app at a time. Because of this it takes longer to update apps on my iPhone than on my iPad. This is case over both cellular and Wifi.
I'm assuming the way the iPad is working is the correct method. Why doesn't my iPhone work the same way?

Whil you can run two apps at the same time, i.e. Music and Safari, you can only see one app at a time.

I am trying to reorganise my apps on my iphone via the new itunes software, you don't seem to be able to move one app at a time to a different screen, just move the screens around, what am I doing wrong

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

Transfer purchases only transfers one app at a time

I'm trying to back up my iPad in preparation for installing the new iOS, I'm transferring purchases first, but iTunes only transfers one app each time I click transfer purchases! This never used to happen, any idea how to stop it doing this, how do I transfer all the apps at once?
Also, when I sync my iPad or iPhone, iTunes frequently moves the apps around on the screen of the iPhone/iPad, taking them out of folders etc, and re-installs ones I've deleted from the iPhone/iPad. How do I get it to stop doing this? I just want it to back up whatever is on the iPhone/iPad, not change it in any way.

My iPhone4 and iPad2 are both doing this same thing (only transferring one app at a time). It is really frustrating because I purchase a lot of apps from my phone or ipad and it takes forever to keep clicking 'transfer purchases' over and over again for each individual app every time that I sync or update. It would be great if someone could figure out how I could enable it so that all of the apps transfer to the computer at once.
Regarding the second part of your post, I've had that same problem before. When doing a sync, after backing up my iPhone/iPad, the apps are updated, and when the screen comes back all or most of the folders are missing and I have more apps than can fit in the display. Or sometimes it happens after upgrading the software or restoring it. After reading other posts about the same thing, I've found that doing a restore from your latest backup will usually restore all of your folders, too. The trick is that you might have to do the restore twice. Try to restore your phone from a backup and when it comes back, if the folders are still missing, do the restore one more time. I don't know why doing it the second time works, but it has worked for me on 3 separate occasions when nothing else would. I know that it is a pain to have to waste the time of doing an entire restore (especially if you have to do it twice), but it is less work than having to remember and recreate your folders from scratch.

How do I download one app at a time in itunes or appstore

Hi there fellow apple lovers, just got my first iphone, you see I have a habbit of downloading from the app store simultaneously, is there anyway I can set my iphone 5s to download one app at a time, well in other words queing them so that if a download finishes, it will automatically download the next app

If the program/window is not a text-based one (such as a word processor), you can usually use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up or down one line at a time.
There are often mods to this behavior, but exactly what depends on the program. Test with the up and down arrow keys in conjunction with the usual modifier keys - Shift, Command, Option, etc.

Some apps stay open when trying to close more than one app at a time in ios 7

I tried closing down 2 or 3 app at a time in IOS7 and there's always one or two that stay open. The icon at the bottom is still there but I've already swiped it up to close it. When I go out of the closing function and come back I see that they are still open and I need to close them again. I tried this on many ipads, iPhones and ipod touch and they all act the same way.
Chris

I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.

How do i get my ipod touch to download more than one app at a time, can i make it toware i dont have to wait for one app to download before it starts downloading another,

my ipod will only download one app at a time and runs extremely slow. i was wondering if there is some way that i can make it download more than one app at a time and how can i make the app start downloading again after i have left my wi-fi zone and then went back in. im really confused.

Download everything on your computer in iTunes, then sync your iPod to iTunes.
You should be syncing (backing up) to iTunes and your photo app regurally, anyway.

Using More Than One App At A Time

Does anyone know if there is a way to use more than one app at a time? It would be nice to get back to the home screen without quitting an app if you are in the middle of something.

I know I have seen some apps that specifically say that they can be used while surfing the web, etc. It may be a function of the app that it can continue to run while you're doing something else. I'm kind of surprised that a radio app wouldn't allow for that.

Developer Application Provisioning Issues -- Only one app at a time?

_The upshot:_
You can have one and only one developer provision and developer application on the iPhone at a time otherwise you get installation errors (i.e. 0xe8000001).
_To fix:_
Use Xcode Organizer to ensure that you have one and only one application and provision installed to the iPhone that uses your developer certificate.
_To any Apple people:_
If I am wrong about any of this, please let me know. I have wasted 3-4 days over the past 2 weeks due to these issues, and any explanation would be well received! Having one and only one application and provision installed to the iPhone fixed the 0xe8000001 issues for me.
_Long winded explanation:_
It turns out that I am working on multiple iPhone applications at the same time.
Each application has a different AppID (as registered on the iPhone Developer Portal).
I have spent quite a bit of time having major issues with Developer Provisioning and application installation from within Xcode and Xcode Organizer, which led me to not be able to debug my application on a live iPhone.
I finally discovered my problem: I can only have one app and one provision on the iPhone that uses the same developer certificate.
When swapping between Xcode projects if I remove all provisions and applications using Organizer and re-add only the provision of the application I am working on, then the install errors at build time go away.
Samples of install errors that manifest themselves using the 0xe8000001 code:
Thu Aug 21 16:56:02 unknown mobileinstallationproxy[770] <Error>: entitlement 'application-identifier' has value not permitted by provisioning profile
Thu Aug 21 16:56:02 unknown mobileinstallationproxy[770] <Error>: verify_executable: Could not validate signature: e8008016
-- Taken from the Xcode Organizer Console window for my development iPhone --
These errors seem to be occurring because of an install time check against the installed provision files to verify the app, and it seems the provision from an already installed application is being used.
This is probably occurring because the main developer certificate has to be the same between the 2 applications. As the scan through the provisions is occurring, the certificate of the new app matches the certificate from the already installed app, and the provision check fails due to different App IDs.
There is one and only one developer certificate allowed per iPhone Standard program.
I hope that this helps some other people out there with their development provisioning and debug / installation errors.
--Batgar

This is why you should create a wildcard developer certificate (com.youcompany.*)...follow the directions in the program portal. Then you can then install all your apps on your phone.

IPhone iOS 7 No camera self timer, why?

I have been an avid iPhone supporter and for the first time find myself at a loss while on holiday with the family. There is no timer on the iPhone Camera iOS7. For a smart phone not to have this is madness. I ended up having to use my wifes Samsung S3 as her phone had the functionality I needed. This is a grave mistake guys. You have great support from your users and to allow something as basic as this to be short compared to a sumsung phone is crazy!!! I really hope you guys get onto of this.

The reality is you're whinging about something you could've easily solved in a matter of seconds, but chose not to because of some arbitrary rule you've set yourself only allowing yourself "one app". OCD?
Basic functionality of a camera is the ability to take a picture. Anything else is an extra. Enough said.

Can you download more than one app at a time?

Basically, can I purchase two apps for OS X, both large downloads, and leave it overnight trusting both to be ready when I come back to the machine? Will they download one at a time, or concurrently?
Thanks

Only one app can be downloaded simultaneously. However, if you select to install both before going to bed, both should be downloaded and installed when you wake up, before when one app finishes installing, the other one will start being installed

When I print from my pad it only print one page at a time, why?

Why can I only print one page at the time when using the iPad?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How can track my phone and another non-iPhone with one app?

I installed "Find My Phone" a little while ago on my iPhone 3s, and on my wife's Pantech Burst...because I thought that since they both have the same logo, and background picture, then they must be synced...Well, that didn't work...
So, I need an app that I can use on my phone and hers, where she can see where I am and I can see where she is...without using up a phone call to ask.
Is there one app to do this?

Don't think there is one. The only apps with this functionality are Find My iPhone and Find My Friends, both of which only locate devices with iCloud accounts.

My late 2011 MacBook Pro 4 gig RAM is running very slowly, crashing very often. Repaired permissions, repaired disc, updated to Mavericks, uninstalled Blackberry Desktop. Can only run one app at a time, barely.

Activity monitor shows RAM usage at between 3 and 3.95 most of the time, even with no apps running. Hard drive has plenty of free space. Chrome crashes it the most, but any time I run more than two apps at a time, it crashes. It cannot ever complete a Time Machine backup. That leaves it dead in the water after a few minutes. When I say crash, I mean totally unresponsive, even when left alone for hours. Only a hard reset works. Then, it is hit or miss when it comes to rebooting. Often, it crashes at the startup login screen, and often it doesn't even make it that far. Sometimes, the computer spontaneously restarts itself. I've looked at the forums, and tried everything that I've seen suggested. I've left it alone overnight, hoping that it was just indexing, but no dice. I even used the sudo purge command once. That cleared up some RAM for a moment, but didn't affect the performance issues. I am aware that the RAM usage may have nothing to do with it, but that's the only clue I have. It is a miracle that I'm even able to finish typing this message, since right now I have Safari and Mail open at the same time! I've turned off Drop Box. Every application loads painfully slowly, and then any activity, including typing, is often interrupted by the spinning pinwheel of death. Sometimes, the problem resolves for a few minutes, and then returns with a vengance. Help!
