My phone will no longer allow me to download apps, what did I do?

I can get to the store, but once I get there and click the free then install app, it has me type in my password for my apple id then it goes right back to free and won't download no matter how many times I click it.

Hi,
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

Phone will no longer allow me to send pictures

My phone no longer gives me the option to send or share my pictures. When I have the picture pulled up that I want to send/share, I go to the menu but when I click Send/Share, nothing happens. All other functions of the menu work, such as Rotate and Zoom In. I just noticed this happened today when I tried to send a picture to someone. I have sent many pictures from my phone to others and Facebook, etc. I just sent a picture on Friday so I'm not sure what could be wrong. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, my iphone 4 (recently updated to IOS 6) will no longer allow me to install apps.

I click 'FREE' on the app and then 'INSTALL' at which point it looks as though it starts installing but then the apple ID / password box comes up, I enter my password and then once the box goes away the app just goes back to its original screen without installing. I've reset the iphone and its made no difference. Any ideas?!
Hope you can help.

Well I came across a post of MacRumors that talks about that the brightness bar might be acting a minimum setting for the auto-brightness feature. So if you slide the bar all the way to the right...full brightness, you would see no change in screen brightness when auto-brightness actually kicks in. If you turn it down mostly. It will brighten up when there is high ambient light but will dim to where the slider is set in a dark room. I'm going to be testing this out. Maybe you guys can too?
This seems to work for me as you describe. Maybe it's not a bug after all. I wish we had some guidance instead of trying to figure all this out ourselves.

App store wont allow me to download apps. what do i do?

Everytime i try to download an app, or update it, it takes me to the Payment Transaction screen where the payment methods are listed and asks me to change them. However I had a prepaid card on there which is now out money and when i enter the security code, it says it was declined and i could not download or ipdate my apps. please help me, thanks

No one here can help you, as there is no one from Apple here. If your payment method is being declined, your only fix is to submit a payment method that won't be declined...redeem an iTunes gift card...valid credit card, etc.
Good luck.

You can use iTunes to sync the contacts, calendars, notes, Safari bookmarks, and email account information on your computer with your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. iTunes also syncs this information from your device to your computer—for example, if you add contacts on your iPad, syncing adds those contacts to Windows address book or Outlook Express on your computer.

My iPhone 4s will no longer allow others to send me a text message

My iPhone 4s will no longer allow others to initiate a text message with me. I think I have pin pointed the issue, but I don't know how to fix it. When I go to Settings - Messages - Send & Receive, it has both my phone number and my email but it only will allow me to check the email account. Therefore, if people don't have this email stored in their phone, then it won't allow them to initiate a text message to me. They can reply to my texts, but it comes up as my email address vs. my phone number. I have tried to reset my networks, but that didn't help either. I have not downloaded the new iOS 7.0.4 yet. Does that have something to do with it or how can I fix this because I'm on the road for business and I won't have a chance to download it until I get home on Sunday!

I'm sorry you have not been able to utilize your text messaging AlaynaFHirsch. I recommend downloading the new software to your phone. It will definitely help with functionality issues. Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Have you tried to perform a restore on your account?

My phone keep asking me to sign in to itunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

My iPod Classic will no longer allow me to create podcast playlists. I've restored it twice. What is the problem?

My iPod Classic will no longer allow me to create podcast playlists. It create music playlists. I've restored it twice. What is the problem?

Is the problem that you can create them in iTunes, but they are empty on the iPod itself? If so, I had that problem, and the issue appeared to be that playlists that used MediaType=Podcast didn't seem to transfer. If, on the other hand, I gave all podcasts a Genre of Podcast, it worked better. In general, with the older iPod classic, I found that playlists based on MediaType didn't work that well.

After 5.0.1 update on iPhone 4 my phone will no longer sync.

After 5.0.1 update on iPhone 4 my phone will no longer sync. Keeps sitting there says "waiting for sync to start". Any ideas? It was fine before the update. I tried truning off the cloud but it made no difference. Tried on a different computer. Same thing.

I finally worked around Apple's problem. I synced my iPhone 4 phone with another computer. Lost my apps and music on the phone but still had my music database of almost 3,000 tunes. I then synced with another computer with the updated iTunes software they just sent out. Then had to rebuild my apps and music on the phone. I used Tune-Up plug-in to help with the music with covers and dupes, etc. It took me till 1 am last night but it's now working and syncing ok. I have about 1,000 tunes on the phone now, with no dupes and 95% of the cover artwork. Without Tune-Up it would take me a week to get the dupes out and covers for all the albums. I think the problems started when Apple tried to send the update directly to the iPhone rather than thru iTunes like they had always done before. I turned off the cloud and am syncing and backing up with my computer and home sharing is turned off. That method worked very well for the last few years. It seems like the combination of home sharing, the cloud and 5.0.1 software caused a lot of problems. Hopefully I have it under control now, or at least until the next software update. It was a major pita.

HT4976 Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound.

Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound. I have made sure the do not disturb is not turned on and have also gone into Accessibility and made sure sound is not off there. I have done a reboot and also a reset of the settings. When I set my ring tone, the sample tone plays, however, the phone only vibrates when I get a call. The apps also do not have any sound. Everything was working fine until the update.

I am positive the half moon isn't there. That one caught me once before so now I am careful to check.
Thanks for the idea tho!

After updating my software my phone will no longer send imessages

My phone will no longer send iMessages ever since I updated to the new software. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The iPhone will behave as any other camera would when connected to a Windows PC. I suggest you check Windows user forums for similar issues related to any/all cameras.

My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

HT1386 my phone will no longer turn all the way on or sinc... It just says activation required.

My I phone will no longer turn on all the way or conect with my computer all the way to sinc.... keeps saying "activation required"? How do I activate?

The only time I have ever seen that is when my SIM card is out of my phone. Try opening the sim card tray and then replacing it after a minute. Use a paperclip to pop the door open on the side of the phone (if it is a 4 or 4s) or on top (if 3GS) and see if that changes the alert message. Check back with status if that doesn't help. You can also trying a full restore by plugging it into your computer and opening iTunes. When it recognizes the phone click on the phone name in the left menu and hit restore. This will erase the phone but if you have a backup you can restore from that after it resets the phone or you can set it up as a new phone and start from scratch. Good luck, let me know if this helps.

HT201317 My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.
