My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

OK. I will work backwards.
You certainly don't want to have to delete apps every time that they need an update, for any number of reasons. Losing data first and foremost would be a drag, but the overall hassle would be absurd. All things being equal, you should be able to update apps in the future after you delete them and reinstall them. I delete and reinstall apps all the time and I am also able to update them when updates are available for the apps. I just wanted to know if you had any success in any fashion installing apps.
Resyncing/refreshing the Apple ID/iTunes account wouldn't seem to be the issue either if you can download apps or other content from the iStores. Your ID is being accepted.
That leaves us with I'm not sure what. But I think I would try this trick fix and see if it helps.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

  • TS3899 Is anyone else having issues sending emails? I cannot send from gmail, hotmail or yahoo via iPhone 5! I've deleted accounts and restarted phone with no luck..

    For a few days now, I am unable to send emails on any account! I've tried gmail, yahoo and outlook. I've deleted the accounts and added them again..did not fix the problem. I've restarted my phone, that didn't work either. Is there a fix for this?

    Backup the device in iTunes.
    Restore as new.
    Setup one account on the device and test.  If it works, set up the other accounts one at a time and test.  If this works, there is some screwy setting in your backup that is the culprit.
    If this does not work, restore from the backup created in the first step to get all your data back/settings back.

  • I currently have 1,177 photos on my iphone (4s) but it takes up 4.9 GB of space. Why is it so large? I do not use photostream - this is simply within my "Camera Roll". Other than deleting the photos, can someone tell me another solution?

    My friend has over 2,000 photos on her iphone and it only used 1.7 GB of space and I know I had at one point over 3,000 photos on my phone and still had space left for more.
    Any tips are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Melissa.

    When you open your camera app, does it say "HDR on" at the top?
    HDR photos are better quality but take up much more space.
    Also, go to Settings>photos and camera.  Scroll down to "keep normal photo".  Is it on?  This feature saves a normal copy and an HDR copy of every photo you take.
    I bet your friend has this feature turned off along with the HDR as well.

  • Why am I being asked for my billing info for updating free apps? This has never happened before! Now I can't update anything. Is there anyway around this?

    I am being asked to provide my billing info for updating free apps... This has never happened before. I don't have a credit card so is there anyway around this??

    The only way is to create an Apple ID without a credit card. The one you currently created will not work, it has to be a new one, and use this support document to do it. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 Make sure you follow the directions exactly.

  • If my application is free to download, but requires my user to purchase a monthly subscription, will Apple collect a 30% fee every month that user is billed?  Or will Apple only collect a 30% fee for the first month?  If so, is there anyway around this?

    Hi!
    I am looking into developing an app for the App Store and my question is regarding Apple's 30% in app purchase fee.  If my application is free to download, but requires my user to purchase a monthly subscription, will Apple collect a 30% fee every month that user is billed?  Or will Apple only collect a 30% fee for the first month?  If so, is there anyway around this? 
    What all does Apple collect a 30% app store fee on?  What does Apple not collect a fee on in the App Store?
    How does Amazon get billed if someone purchases something from Amazon from within their iPhone application?

    Any in-app purchases are subject to the 30% withholding.
    No way around it.
    Amazon purchases are physical items (not digital) and do not go through in-app purchase so they are exempt.

  • I have an audio file that plays automatically and I can't control it other than reduce the volume.  How do I turn it off?

    I have picked up an audio file that I can't control other than reduce the volume.  I don't know how to turn it off and it plays over any other audio.

    Is this an Apple installed audio clip?
    Have you checked to see if all of your browsers doesn't have a web page that is opened that has the audio? (Best thing is to quit all of your browsers to get that out of the way.) If it goes away, then find out which browser (if multiple), and then figure out what page or just close it if you wish.
    Once you get the browsers out of the way and the audio is still playing. Then quit other programs.

  • HT2955 The problem with the above is this: If a chapter end is reached at the same time as the CD space is filled, iTunes goes to EOJ, ejects that CD and pretends it's done. Other than entering start:end manually you are screwed. iTUnes just ***** for bur

    If you use iTunes to burn Audible CDs you better hope the book is only one CD long. Otherwise iTunes craps-out without warning and cannot be easily restarted. It just goes to EOJ and pretends it's all done with the entire burn. Often this can cause (will cause) the user to waste many many CDs trying to get a burn completed. If a CD-end is reached at a chapter-end point, iTunes assumes the burn is done and ends. The user must manually enter start:stop for each CD, pay constant attention to what's going on, and hope everything goes right. And even if you do all that you WILL find a chaper point at CD end and will have to go manually adjust the start-stop of the next CD and HOPE... that's their strategy: Hope.  iTunes was never designed for books, for audio content that is multi-volume, and it really ***** at it. And if you are unlucky enough to want to burn long books (Truman -48 CDs, or Atlas Shrugged - even more), be prepared to throw away many tens of CDs as you try to get it done; pretty soon it's just cheaper to go buy the book in audio form and dump Audible entirely. (Maybe this is why Amazon made the switch from working Roxio to non-working iTunes... nahhh.. you'd have to be too cynical to believe that...)  If, that is, you don't just give up in frustration and terminate your Audible subscirption as I did a couple of years ago. Audible keeps your paid-for library, but downloading a long book again just brings you to the same point: trying to burn multi-volume CDs on a tool not designed to do so. Maybe amazon bought lots of Apple stock at the same time and just wants you to be walled-in to your iPod and never again use a CD.. maybe they bought the car companies, too, so you can't have an old car and must buy a new one with an ipod attachment in order to listen to your books..... The worst part is that Audible used to use Roxio, which handled all of this with no problem at all. When it was tasked with a multiple-CD burn, it told you how many you'd need, began recording, when it reach end-of-CD, it told you to put in the next one - regardless of whether there was a coincident end of chapter, and kept burning until the book was completed. For unknown - and seriously stupid - reasons, audible decided to use iTunes, and the problem continues. My research across the web indicates I am not the only FORMER customer of Audible that feels this way, or who cancelled their subscription because of this stupefyingly dumb decision - to make the primary customer interface tool WORSE that it had been.

    AC, Thank you for you reply.
    Even though it is supposed to be a 'simple' home video system it has so much potential!

  • Apps won't download, keeps asking for password even after I enter it.

    When I go to download any app, it asks for my password, I enter my password, it thinks for a second, then asks for my password again.  It does this continuously and no apps will download.  Please help.  So far I have tried to sign out of my Apple ID then restart the phone and sign back in.  I have tried going to Settings > Wifi then hitting the info button and hitting Renew Lease.  I also made sure my Data & Time settings were set to automatic.  These were all of the suggestions I have seen, need some more!

    Yes, it shows it, and it is correct.  I even tried typing in an incorrect password, and it says that password is incorrect when I am typing my password wrong.

  • Icloud does not appear in sys pref. still has mobile me.  Also getting error message asking for password in ical. We enter it and the error re appears

    I cloud does not appear in system preferences ....after transition.
    Mobile me still there...
    All other devices working fine.
    Also ICal asking repeatedly for password...we enter it and error reappears

    Please always post your operating system when you have a question since in many cases the answer depends on it.
    Lioin 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - if you have anything earlier you can't use it directly.
    You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).
