My iPhone 5 won't update/install apps !! Any idea why ?

I own an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2.
They are all not jailbroken and are all running on ios 6.0.1
While my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 have no problem updating existing apps or installing new apps, my iPhone 5 won't update/install apps all !!
To be fair, about 2 week ago, all my iPhone 5 update/install won't work but after a day or two, they started downloading.
But now, my iPhone 5 updates and installations have been stalled for a week.
What is happening ? Can anybody please help ? Thanks.

Okay fixed it:
First of all make a backup and sync your iPhone in iTunes.
Next reinstall your iPhone using DFU mode:
(FIND HOW 2 GET IN DFU MODE ON GOOGLE, APPLE DO NOT ALLOW TO PUT IN LINKS HERE :-( )
Then choose to put your latest backup back on your iPhone.
And voila you should see you now can recieve updates from App Store.
(It worked for me)

    Sounds like you did not set back as new, or if you did you reset the iPad with your Apple Id again.
    If it had been reset back as new it would have stayed at the Begin Setup screen, and you wouldn't have been able to see any Apps being downloaded, as you wouldn't have acccess to the Home Screen yet.
    Follow Diavonex's post to restore the iPAd back to factory defaults, and that's it. It should be back to the Setup screen, without any Apple Id associated with it, and no Home screen visible.

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

    Thanks

    Hello there!
    It sounds like you are unable to update your iPhone to iOS 8 because of error code -1. I would start with the troubleshooting in this article first, named:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    If that does not get it going again, I would use the troubleshooting for that error number from the following article:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#1
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • TS1702 Can not delete from playlist on music app any ideas why

    I Am having problems since updating to 6 , when I try to delete a song from my playlist it does not delete and ithe app closes any ideas

    A number of suggestions. The have worked for others in the past but YMMV.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

  • Mail, any ideas why ? old attachment show paperclip but none since Lion installed.

    Attachments no longer show in th eattachment column in Lion Mail. Attachments prior LIon showing with the paperclip.
    None showing after the install.
    Any ideas Why ?

    I moved from Microsoft's feature-rich Entourage mail recently to bring my email into the house of Apple to get more Apple mobile stuff like iPhone --- and synchronise it all. 
    But since coming to Mail I have read so much that says Apple Mail is so rudimentary, and has so many problems including this and many others. And they reach back into Snow Leopard.
    Apple Mail is such a poor relative of all the other Apple products it seems like it is in anohter time zone.
    I hope Apple realise that some people (or increasing numbers maybe) will migrate to Apple Mail just to pick up synchroniicity off iCloud, for their laptop and iPhone. so they can service their email on the move away from the desk.
    Also I hope they realise that a significant part of their market is serious professional people who rely on Apple Mail as infrastructure which is as important a electricity, gas, and the water. We can't live out here without email any more. Why migrate to a flaky neglected utility?
    How can Apple let these problems lie for year after year and just concentrate on flogging music and video to kids(and, well, me occasionally).
    In the next year I will have to decide whether remaining loyal to Apple (since 1988) is the way to keep going, or to buy the Google Android product, go Gmail and use their cloud co-ordination.
    Goodbye iPhone hello Samsung.

  • I updated to ios7 on my iphone 4 and now cant install apps and one app says waiting for 2 days now. Also it started ading apps from my wife's phone onto my phone even though we have separate apple ids.

    I updated to ios7 on my iphone 4 and now cant install apps and one app says waiting for 2 days now. Also it started ading apps from my wife's phone onto my phone even though we have separate apple ids.

    We do not share an apple ID and her phone is now logged in with her account and I have since backed it up on itunes under her account as well. I have turned off automatic downloads on her phone but they still keep downloading. I delete one app and then another one just appears on the phone.

  • Apps on iPhone 5 won't update with ios8

    My apps on iPhone 5 won't update after installation of ios8.

    Hi davieg502, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that it can be frustrating when your iTunes or App Stores do not function the way you would expect, especially with application updates. In this situation I would recommend the steps located in the attached article to start the troubleshooting process. 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Cheers, 
    Joe

  • IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

    My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
    However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
    I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
    Any ideas?

    Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.

  • My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!

    My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!

    I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

  • IPhone 4 won't update email or send texts

    My iPhone 4 won't update my email, send texts or show my call log.  Restarting hasn't helped

    Update (for anyone else who has had this problem):
    A few days ago, my iPhone decided to get its act together and fixed itself.
    I had seen some indications out there in researching this that if you just give it time, it will correct itself.
    Low and behold, after checking in on it every couple days, it finally started downloading and updating correctly.
    I don't know that I can really offer anything to do or not do.
    All I did was just not worry about downloading new apps, or updating the current ones.
    Didn't sync with iTunes/Outlook, and just used the phone in the condition it was in.
    After several days, it went back to normal.
    I have several educated guesses on what may have caused it, but nothing at all definitive.
    Anyhow, there you are: apparently the solution is to do nothing, and let the iPhone sort out its own problems.

  • I can't install iO6 update, it keeps saying an error occurred. I deleted lots and I now have 3.5GB available but it still won't update to iOS6. Any ideas why? Thanks

    9.2.3 is not compatible with Mavericks.  You'll need to go to the App Store and download the iPhyoto 9.5 version.  It will be free. Move your current iPhoto version to the Trash bin and try the App Store again.
