ITunes app hangs on iPad and iPhone

Is anyone having issues with the iTunes app freezing/hanging on iPhones or iPads when trying to view content or view search results? I am having trouble on both my iPhone 4 and iPad (3rd gen).  I can't view album, movie or TV show details, purchase content or scroll on album detail pages. I am running iOS 5.1.1 but experienced the same issue prior to this update.

Make sure airplane mode is off, as I mentioned above.
go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings
then, go to settings/itunes and app stores and sign out of accounts
reboot the devices
then go back to settings/itunes and app stores and sign back in
go back to purchased tab

  • Why won't the iTunes app on the iPad and iPhone let me shut off new download email notifications?

    I have a few new season passes.  Each one came, of course, with email notifications of new episodes.  I'm able to turn those notifications off through the iTunes store interface on my laptop.  But when I try to shut them off on my iPhone or iPad, the app lets me get all the way to toggling the notification option to "off" and pressing "done" before saying that the iTunes store "cannot process [my] request at this time." 
    Here's what I've done to try and fix the issue so far:
    1. Logged out of, and back into, my account on the iTunes store;
    2. Turned my iOS devices off and back on again;
    3. Made sure my iOS and iTunes software was completely up to date; and
    4. Contacted Apple customer support.
    That last option produced the following advice from Apple's representatives:
    A. Log out of, and back into, your account on the iTunes store;
    B. Turn your iOS devices off and back on again;
    C. Update iTunes to the latest version;
    D. Update your iPad and iPhone to the latest iOS version;
    E. Use another app that does the same thing as iTunes;
    F. Uninstall and re-install the iTunes app; and
    G. Let us know if the problem persists.
    When I let Apple know that (1) my account functions just fine on the full iTunes program, (2) the software on my devices is completely up to date, (3) both iOS devices continued to suffer the same problem after multiple restarts, and (4) options E-F don't appear to be possible without jailbreaking, a representative referred me to Apple's webpages on generic iPad troubleshooting.  She also admonished me not to jailbreak my iPhone or iPad because they'd then be jailbroken---and that's bad.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?  How did you fix it?  Apart from just using the full iTunes program, that is---I don't take my laptop on the road with me when I travel, which can be for weeks at a time, so I'd like to be able to shut these notifications off through the app interface if at all possible.
    Thanks very much for your help and suggestions!

    What does " the computer will still not sync to my ipad." mean?
    What have you tried?
    What was the result?
    Error message?
    What did it say?

  • HT4352 How can I get Home Sharing turned on my Apple TV if I have lost my remote control and my remote apps on my ipad and iphone can not get access to my apple tv, only my itunes.

    How can I get Home Sharing turned on my Apple TV if I have lost my remote control and my remote apps on my ipad and iphone can not get access to my apple tv, only my itunes.

    You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone

    I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone and now I have a new iMac but the Apps didn't install? I thought when you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other devices? The App store is now wanting me to pay for the Apps again? Is this right? Do I have to buy another  version of these Apps for the iMac?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.

  • Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

    Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • How can I synchronize the app between my iPad and iPhone?

    How can I synchronize the app between my iPad and iPhone?

    Hi,
    May i know which app in particular you are taking about.
    If that is Adobe Reader you need to sign-in in Adobe Id and password and that should be it.

  • TS3376 The find my iPhone app shows my iPad and iPhone in a totally different location about 100 miles away and my devices are in my lap? I'm confused ...

    The find my iPhone app shows my iPad and iPhone in a totally different location about 100 miles away and my devices are in my lap.... I'm confused ...

    Any thoughts on this , I'm worried that someone has cloned my device Id  and is phishing , or would there be just a major glitch in the GPS ? I have turned off the location app and turned it back on to see if it was a glitch still comes up to the same location about 100 miles way to a place I have never been.  Help !

  • Hi, i have already paid this app to the iPad and iPhone, why i have to paid 17 euro for the mac?

    Hi, i have already paid this app to the iPad and iPhone, why i have to paid 17 euro for the mac?
    this question is available for many paid apps..

    If you bought a Mac after the 13th October 2013, the complete iWork Mac suite is now free.
    Read this press notice from  Apple:
    iWork & iLife Now Free With Every New Mac & iOS Device
    iOS and Mac applications are compiled diferently and Apple costs them as separate applications, that is there decision, contact Apple direct if you are unhappy with their pricing policy by phone or send using this link:

    I deleted and I reinstalled the candy crush app on my ipad and iPhone ! I am back at level 65 on my ipad but back at level 1 on my iphone help

    I have tried to contact both the developer and Apple.  No one takes responsibility.  This is just an example of a successful developer trying to push the envelope and ripping the good customer off.  Tell your friends to stop funding this ripoff!

  • Advice on improving graphics for app for both iPad and iPhone

    I am creating an app for both iPad and iPhone 4 and it looks terrible on the iPhone 4.
    I have created the Flash File in Flash CS5.5 IDE with Movie Size 1024 x 768 and I am using the following AIR for IOS settings:
    Rendering: CPU
    Device: iPhone and iPad
    Resolution: High
    All my graphics are vector so I assumed that it would look crisp on both devices. It is not as perfect looking on the iPad as it appears on my PC monitor but I can live with it. I can't however live with the iPhone 4 appearance.
    I am therefore seeking advice on how to improve the iPhone 4 appearance.
    As far as I am aware, there is not a way to use 2 sets of graphics, one for each device. Please correct me if this is wrong and it would offer me a solution.
    Would doing all the graphics as PNG be a solution?
    Btw I am using AIR 3.2 SDK if that has any relevance and my graphics are static.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for the swift reply Colin. I do not recall setting a stage.quality setting - is the default setting low?
    I did a quick google search and see this appears to be the code I need. I assume I put this in the first frame of my Flash movie?
    stage.quality = StageQuality.MEDIUM;
    Thanks

  • Why can't I download app in my iPad and iPhone today???

    I can't download any update or new app today. What is going on!!! Both my iPad and iPhone  with the same user ID.

    Nobody here could possibly know why you can't download apps today. I can tell you that there are no reported issues with any of Apple Services in the U.S. which you can see here.

    You will certainly have to provide some more information if you need help, like what exactly is happening?

  • Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The  Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

    Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone.  Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices. 

    I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
    The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

  • How to reset iTunes backup configuration for iPad and iPhone?

    After buying a new Mac, I migrated my settings (because there were w a lot of apps) and generally everything's working. Except when I try to sync my iPad or iPhone, I get the following error:
    iTunes could not backup the (device) ... because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad
    A few notes
    It does work with a new account, just not this one, so there's some setting somewhere that probably needs to go
    I did repair disk permissions
    I tried to reset preferences via mv *iTunes* to a backup folder in <user>/Library/Preferences
    There are no backups on this machine (if you go to iTunes / Settings / Devices the "device backups" list is empty)
    It still feels like something is pointing somewhere invalid, but I have no idea how to reset it.

    The problem turned out to be a symlink to a folder that pointed nowhere where the backups were stored.
    I seriously doubt many people are going to run into this issue, but hey, there you go, another thing to watch out for are symlinks if you transfer your settings to a new machine.
    The reason before was that I was clearing out space on a SSD, and backups took up enough room.
