Issue on IPhone 4. All App Updates or New Install that I have tried to update go under the waiting mode and wont do anything

I'm having an issue with downloading and updating apps on my iphone 4. It did not start immediately after updating to iOS 5.1. Just started a couple of days back and is driving me nuts. Any apps that I have tried to update or install new apps will go under the waiting mode and wont do anything. I've tried to delete some of them and re-installed but like the others have mentioned in other post the app installation again goes under waiting and nothing happens.
I've checked my settings and I've tried several restarts on the phone but still no good.
Any suggestions???

  • ITunes is saying that I have over 4.78 GB under the category of "other", making it so my iPhone 4 can't add any data (music, apps, pictures, etc.). I'm currently using only 1.3 GB of storage on my iPhone, and the rest is "other". How do I fix this?

  • Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Can anyone please advise me.

    Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod. 
    Can anyone please advise me.

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

    re started iphone after powering down, now is stuck in connect to itunes mode and wont do anything else. also has no service, I was able to retrieve all of my photos so the device is functional on that level. have restarted several times & also have restored data from i tunes. it said my phone is damaged.

    Jailbreaking
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
      Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • My MacBook Air has OSX Version 10.9 and suddenly I can no longer access iPhoto including all my photos on my computer.  I have tried to update iphote but the message says I signed on with a different password and I can't update.

    My MacBook Air has OSX Version 10.9 and suddenly I can no longer access iPhoto. THe message says, 'You can't use this version of the applicaitonn iPhot with this version of OS X.  You have iphoto 9.3.2." When I try to update iPhoto, I get a message saying I signed in with a different apple ID and password.  This all happened about the same time I got a new iphone.  The iPhoto icon has a circle with a line through it.

  • Hello I have a iPhone 5S all of a sudden my music that I have purchased only plays on 1 speaker.  I thought it was a bad audio cable so I brought it back to the store.  Only to have the same thing happen again. What is going on?

    I have a iPhone 5s all of a sudden my music on my iPhone would only ply oit of one speaker in the car.  I thought it was the Audio Cable went and brought another Audio Cable and the same thing again.  I than plugged my son phone which is a NOTE 3 into the Audio Cable and it started playing fine.  I purchase all of my music from the Apple Store and one of the reasons is because I enjoy listening to my phone with my playlist inside my car.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Apple needs to fix this ASAP or refund me my money back for all the songs I purchased.

    If you connect headphones to your 5s do you also hear music on from one side?
    If yes get a light and inspect the headphone jack and clean out any dirt/debris/ etc. you find in there.
    If that does not fix it you will need to get your iPhone replaceed under your warranty.

  • So how come after all this time, iPod touch still doesn't have a battery percentage option under the usage section...?

    Why????

    HI rjdfja,
    Sorry to interupt Nickyizcool but the battey percentage feature is not available on the iPod Touch as it is with the iPhone and iPad.  Only Apple knows if it will be added in the future. If you like to leave them feedback about this, use the form on this page.

    Dear ED3K:
        First:  I hope you don't work for Apple as you have some poor communication skills in assistance. That said, I would never in a million years pay you 45 dollars to help me. I think I would sleep with Satan first!!
    No one here works for Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. You tend to get from this forum what you bring to it. If you come in ranting and raving and saying you're going to throw your iPhone out the window and that Apple is mean, people are not likely to respond to you with sweetness and light and puppies and kittens.
    If you really want help, I'd suggest you take a deep breath and then start a new thread in which you explain the problems you're having, the steps you've taken to resolve the problems, any error messages you've gotten. Stick to the facts. Check the attitude and emotion at the door. People will do their best to help you.
    Best of luck.

  • I have tried to update 6 apps. But they are all frozen for a day now I could delete them and reinstall but one is no zombies allowed and I don't want to lose content, can anyone help?

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

  • My old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc.

    my old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc. how can i make it copy everything?
    cheers!

    The iPhone is NOT a storage device so it does not support transferring it's data to another iTunes library.  You can transfer purchased iTunes music and apps, but any music you ripped yourself or purchased from somewhere else cannot be transferred without purchasing some additional 3rd party product.
    Certainly in this digital age, everyone is backing up their important data, right?  You can take the backup copy of the data on your broken computer and load it into your new one.
