Latest Apple store app update stuck on installing.

iPhone 4 3 G. I have tried reset, turning off phone.. pausing, nothing works This has said "installing" for days now, maybe a week. I can still search and download other apps, but the apple store app itself is stuck. Any help for me? I have searched the for answers, but all are out of date, and similar but not quite the same. ( by reset, I do not mean factory reset, I mean using both buttons to shut down and letting it restart) Thanks

It seems you are stuck because this is one of the many bugs

Updating Apple Store App

I cannot update the Apple Store App as it is calling for an old Apple ID which I no longer use. I cannot delete the App as it is an Apple installed App. Without deleting it I do not know how to get around this and update it.

It seems to be one of the pre-installed apps as it does not "jiggle" and have an x in the top left as other apps do in order to delete them. It is the app with an A and a circle around it. I do not have deleting apps disabled and have had to deleter others and reinstall them with the correct Apple ID. They have not given me any issues but this app will not delete.
None of the pre-installed iOS apps ever get an 'update' option, other than the iOS update itself. Phone, Notes, Mail, Messages, Photos, Camera, App Store, iTunes Store; none of these ever get individual updates.

I had to change my email for my apple account on my iPhone 4. when I go to add an app or update an app it shows the old email.. so I can't delete apps for this to work becuz I would have to delete my apple store app and it won't let me

I had to change my email for my apple acct on my iPhone e 4. When I go add an app or update an app the old apple email comes up. I can't delete an apple store app. So how do I refresh the apple store app?

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

How to re-install IOS Mavericks. My apple store app does not open

After using cleanmymac, my calendar app does not open. Neither does my apple store app. How can I reinstall Mavericks? Is there any other solution? I do not have a time machine backup. Thanks.

At startup hold down either the Option/Alt key to get a boot menu screen and select the Recovery HD or hold down the Command + r key to go directly to the Recovery HD. Then select Reinstall Mac OS X.

HT203253 How can I reinstall The Apple Store App?

I have MacBook Air 13.3 Mid 2008, suddenly the Apple Store App stopped working properly. It could lunch and display apps in apple store and even accept purchase and installation process but never succeeded. It would kept on loading until I quit it! So I thought if I uninstall and run software update it will come up again, but unfortunately it didn't show up. I have been told to reinstall the system by holding down "Command + R" keys upon restart. I did that severally but it pops up login window instead of the menu list for installation guide.
Any idea will be appreciated.

You will have to reinstall Lion.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Help App update failing to install

For some reason my iPad 2 iOS 7.0.3 (11B511) is having problems with the latest update to the Twitter App, taking it to version 5.12. Whatever I do the App running on iPad continues to operate Twitter version 5.11.1
The update to 5.12 does appear. I click to download, it appears to download but it fails to install. There is no error message to give a clue to the cause of this problem.
iPad has 8GB of available space. This is what I have tried so far ... None of which have solved the problem.
1. Completely closing the Twitter App and the App Store. Deleting the Twitter App, re-booting iPad and then reinstall from the App Store App, which displays under Purchased Apps, Twitter v 5.12. Despite this it installs v 5.11 then offers the update, which appears to go through the motions of downloading and installing, but when I check the App it is still operating v5.11 as the enhancements included in v 5.12 are not there.
2. Checking the App Store App updates Tab shows Twitter v5.12 with an option to Open. Once again this only opens v5.11
3. I have tried deleting my Twitter Account and repeating this process, all to no avail.
4. I have also tried deleting the Twitter App from iPad, which should remove all of its data in theory. Then going to iTunes on my PC, and downloading version 5.12. Then syncing iPad with iTunes and installing Twitter from there, but it still stubbornly insists on running the previous version.
This is very frustrating ... I also have an iPhone, running iOS 7.0.3 (11B511) Twitter version 5.12 has installed on that with no problems. I particularly like the picture previews which this update to Twitter brings and would love to have this facility on iPad too.
Is there a fix to this problem with the failing update on iPad? Help appreciated.

IPad 1, iOS 5.1.1 and Apple Store app

Lauch the Apple store app, tells me to upgrade to latest iOS and app version.
Takes me to App store.
Asks if I want to download older version for my iPad.
Click Yes, it downloads and starts all over again.
Anyone getting the Apple Store app to work on iPad 1?

Not at all this is just the march of progress. I have an iPad 1 too (and a bronze keyboard Powerbook and several other obsolete computers), but I don't use it anymore as I realise it's nothing but a museum piece nowadays. It says right there on the App Store page for the app that the current release is only compatible with iOS 6 and above. So that rules out the iPad 1.
Except that I (and everyone else) can now download the previous version of apps that are compatible with their device (though It was already installed and didn't need to be redownloaded).
Apple really shouldn't allow you to download and install the new Apple Store app on an iPad 1,
They don't allow you to do it. They specifically tell you that you cannot and then allow you to download the latest compatible version.
This was a recent change by Apple.
The iPad 1 is now four generations of hardware (and two major software releases) behind the current systems, you can't expect app developers (including Apple) to keep supporting such old software and hardware
Yes I can expect this.
Restore the connection to the store through the app that Apple allow sme to redownload.
(though the connection issue may be a "glitch"/bug and not intentionally disabled).

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

Apple store app using location in ios7.1 even when not launched

Just updated to iOS7.1 on my iphone. SUDDENLY the location icon on my menu bar remains on and is showing active use of location (under settings..... privacy.... location..... )... APPLE STORE is turned ON for location services..... but it is showing as ACTIVELY using location (battery life and phone resources) despite the app not even being launched
My fix? Turn off LOCATION services for APPLE STORE APP... and the location icon goes away.
Closing out the app manually DOES NOT stop the active use of locaiton services BY THIS APP.
Only app acting this way since change to iOS7.1
Is this affecting other people the same way?

I do, but the same was happening with earlier iOS versions. I think its due to system services using location, like for traffic, cell network search, etc. For me they typically go away after 10 or so minutes, so I left the ones I think may be useful on, but if you turn location off for system services then you shouldn't get the intermittent location querying at all.

Yet another example of why it's a VERY BAD IDEA to do a clean install of Lion unless you are already VERY familiar with how to tweak the Mac OS. There's a reason Apple engineers removed it as an option. To accomplish it you have to erase your disk; not for the faint hearted.
Do you have a backup? PLEASE don't tell us you did this without a robust backup.
You erased the operating machine, so your computer went to the only place it could find one, the Recovery partition. And it's minimal, so it has to download everything in small chunks to reinstall itself. So yeah, it could take 10 hours.
Here's another option. Do you still have the original disks that came with your machine? Put one in and restart from it. You can reinstall your old system much faster. Then go to the Mac App Store and your purchase history and see if you can redownload Lion (I think that still works).
And this time just do yourself a favor and install per Apple's instructions. When the machine starts into Lion, use Setup ***'t (the first thing that fires up) to migrate from your backup.

What apple store app would be used to read emails on mac that were downloaded to a thumb drive from windows (outlook).

What apple store App would be used to read email on the mac that was downloaded to a thumb drive from windows outlook.
Recently purchased a Mac and data transfer for e-mails only showed the email preview but does not open up the body of the email or attachments. So I down loaded my inbox, and folders to a thumb drive. this will open correctly on the window pc but the mac is looking for the approriate app to read this data.
Could the Apple store remove down loaded emails and then reload from the thumb drive?

EL-Benjo,
Please be sure to read the Important Note at the bottom of the page of the link I provided.
Important Note
When you install OS X Lion using the USB thumb drive, you will not be able to reinstall OS X Lion from Lion Recovery. You will need to use the USB thumb drive to reinstall OS X Lion.
