My settings icon says I need an update but it won't allow me to install it.

Have you tried restarting the iPad or resetting it and then try to update?
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.
Reset 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.
This should not matter - but at this point you might as well try this as well. Close all apps, restart the iPad and then try to update again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button. Restart the iPad.

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Why can't I update my iPad from the 5.1 to the ios 6? My apps say I need to update but then wont because i cant update my iPad??
HELP ME WHAT CAN I DO???

You have an iPad 1. 5.1.1 is the last iOS version for that model.

Says it needs an update, but says it's up to date...makes no sense!

First of all, why does the new version of Garageband seem to have less options in the software instrument section? Also, any time I go to look at the loops, they aren't accessible, you can see the "ghost" versions of them, and if you click on them it says you need to update it. When I try to update it, it says that my computer is up to date. I've tried downloading the updates for Garageband, but none of them seem to be fixing the problem...help me...please

Numbers says I need to update, but Software Update says its installed?

I updated to Maverick a month or more ago.
Now when I open Numbers it says I need to update to the lates verstion (3.0)
But when I open the SoftwareUpdate app is says there are now updates available (or needed)
When I find the Numbers app in the AppStore is says Numbers 3.1 is "Installed".
When I open Numbers and check "About Numbers" it says "Numbers 09 2.1(436)"
Numbers will open, and I can work with my spreadsheets, but its getting annoying, and I'm worried something is screwed up between the AppStore Updates and the Numbers app....
Any ideas?

Hi Matt,
After the update you have two version of Numbers on your Mac. The latest version is in your main Applications folder. The old version is in a subfolder name iWork '09. You are probably using the old version when you get that message. Try the new version and all should be well.

After updating to iOS 8 the number 1 appears on the settings icon. My software is updated but the 1 will not go off. How do you clear this?

How do you clear the notification 1 on the settings icon?

Double click your Home key and swipe up on the Settings screen to close it. Also, you can try going to the Update screen and clicking "Check for Updates" again to see if that will turn it off. I know this happened to me once, and it is annoying, to say the least! I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it but it was one of the options I provided....I may have had to do it several times. Sorry - it was awhile ago, and I don't remember which one worked!

HT4623 transferring audiobook from desktop to iphone using overdrive media, says I need itunes update but I cant see that I do

having trouble transferring audiobook from Overdrive Media on desktop to iphone. Popup says I need Itunes 11.1 or higher. I have updated the desktop and the phone (I thought) updated regularly. No need for updates showing.

If you go into iTunes and click on Help, what version number does it say you have? This message does not have anything to do with updating iTunes on the phone. iTunes on the phone serves a different function that that of the iTunes on your computer. It is referring to updating iTunes on the computer.

My screen says I need to restore, but it won't let me type in my password to unlock the phone

My iPhone screen says I need to restore the phone, and to do so I should connect to iTunes. However, when I connect to iTunes, it tells me that my phone is locked and I need to type in my passcode on my phone. My phone will not let me type in my passcode or do anything else - it just shows the "Restore Needed" screen. What do I do? I've already tried turning it off and on.

Force the phone into recovery mode:
If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

TS1538 I have had issues for a week now. Cannot update or purchase from iTunes. Sign in appears then, before I can even input my info it vanishes. App store says I need 24 updates but when I press the icon to do so, it states that my device could not conn

I have restarted device several times. Have unplugged wireless several times. Have done everything Apple has stated to do on their trouble shooting page. Have called Apple seeking advice. Was told for 35 bucks they can help over the phone or choose the free email. I chose the free method and followed what they suggested! Still nothing. I am incensed that they want 700 dollars for this POS and then want 35 bucks for verbal customer service!! I will never purchase another Apple product again if this does not get resolved. I am so disappointed. Then to be told that "for a fee" I can get verbal help. I was told my product warrantee has expired, I wonder if it expired as soon as I had issues. I am fed up! Looking for window to throw this out of or place it where an automobile is backing up. I would like the last week of my life back spent trying to fix this hunk a junk!! Oh, they had no problems before taking my money for songs and apps! Why can't they help fix this issue!!

First: I hope you don't work for Apple as you have some poor communication skills in assistance. That said, I would never in a million years pay you 45 dollars to help me. I think I would sleep with Satan first!!
No one here works for Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. You tend to get from this forum what you bring to it. If you come in ranting and raving and saying you're going to throw your iPhone out the window and that Apple is mean, people are not likely to respond to you with sweetness and light and puppies and kittens.
If you really want help, I'd suggest you take a deep breath and then start a new thread in which you explain the problems you're having, the steps you've taken to resolve the problems, any error messages you've gotten. Stick to the facts. Check the attitude and emotion at the door. People will do their best to help you.
Best of luck.

App store icon says I have 2 updates but no updates available

The icon on the dock shows 2 updates available but when I click on the app store, in updates, the app states no updates available.
How do I take away that 2 on the dock app store icon ?

Why does Firefox Start page always says I need to update, but it is already updated.

Firefox Start Page always has this message: " You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"
I open Help/About Firefox, and it tells me "Firefox is up to date." Version 6.0.2 Why do I keep getting a message to update it?
Thank you.

Just what is happening? When you restore via iTunes, the computer reinstalls the IOS on the iPod. To do that the computer first contacts Apple to find what the latest firmware for your device and and then downloads it if a copy does not already exist on the computer.

Since doing the latest update i can't access my photos it says i need to update but when i do it doesn't respond

since updating my desktop I can't access my iPhoto library i go to do the update it starts then doesn't respond.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD
