Some apps are dark and "waiting" - can anyone help?
I just plugged my phone into my desktop and all of a sudden, a mess of apps showed up and they are dark. I selected them and they are now "waiting." Anyone know what's going on?
Hi CDNStatenIsland,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This discussion post has some good steps you can try if your apps appear to be stuck waiting to download:
App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
Cheers,
- Ari

Hi, I set up my new iPhone S4 with iclouds. So the data of my old S3 should move to the S4. However, some applications could not be loaded on the S04. Now some apps are loaded and others not . How can I progress?
Thanks. I can change the forwarding settings in Gmail to be either POP or IMAP. That is quite simple. I just looked at those settings on the Gmail server and, to my surprise, both are enabled. In order for outlook client on my computer to receive IMAP emails I have to change the email account settings in my current outlook from POP to IMAP. I don't need to be using the Exchange version of Outlook to receive IMAP. I guess I'll do a little research tomorrow on Exchange so i can figure out what, if anything, it might do for me.
I glanced at the link you sent me and it looks like it might be very helpful - another project for tomorrow.
BTW: I hit "This Solved my Question" by accident. I meant only to "like' your response so you would get some benefit from the help you've given me so far. I hope I haven't discouraged others from taking a shot at helping me. I suspect there is more than one way to approach this and, as you know, my problem isn't really solved until I have what I need all set up and running smoothly. -
My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related. Can anyone help?
If you log into Icloud.com, are all your contacts correct there? If the answer is Yes, I would then turn contacts OFF on your phone, and then turn them back on. Do not merge, but replace with Icloud content.
This is usually the quickest way to edit a bunch of contacts, through the web interface. -

Just downloaded Illustrator CC 2014 and none of the new features are showing up. Can anyone help? Thanks! I really need to figure it out so I can start using the awesome new features for Illustrator.
in creative cloud does it show as up to date? if not "Update illustrator"
if it does I would think about uninstalling illustrator and re-installing.
option for that is to the left of the up to date green tick. -
I need some parts for my MuVo V100, can anyone help?
I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help I couldn't find any thread this would belong in, but if I've made a mistake, I'm sorry.
I have a Creative Labs MuVo V00 2 gig player. I love it. The only problem is that the back peice of plastic that holds the battery in somehow has fallen off and has disappeared. I really, really, would like to replace it, but I can't find anywhere where parts like this are sold.
So, does anyone know where I can buy this part Or does anyone have one they are willing to sell me If I have to get the whole little "docking bay" that holds the batery and the unit, that would be fine too. I'm not going to pay huge money for it, seeing that I can still get a new one at a few places, but if anyone has one that broke, or that they just aren't using, and wouldn't mind making a few bucks + postage, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.Re: I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help As far as I'm concerned the subject is closed. I was just irritated that I asked for help, and got some glib little reply, telling me something that anyone who's been on the internet for more than ten seconds should know about. Because to be honest, him replying with those three words, might have made someone overlook the post, thinking, "Someone is handling that, let's move on." Someone who actually might have what I needed.
But, as it turns out, I could order a reconditioned MuVo from Creative directly for about 6 bucks. (vs. 45+ if I'd gone through ebay) so the problem is resolved. If I could figure out a way to erase this entire post, I would do it. If you can do so, being a mod, I would appreciate it.
Sorry if I upset you Loi-CL, I understand you're a moderator, but I don't take kindly to being treated like I'm stupid and that's exactly what coachop94 was doing. If he didn't have anything important or useful to tell me, he could have just skipped over my post. -
I have an Ipod touch. Since this morning I am not able to open any of my purchased apps. The screen briefly flashes but the apps don't start. Can anyone help?
- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then download/install new app.

Hi iPad 2 apps are not opening? Can anybody help please.
Hi iPad 2 apps are not opening? Can anybody help me please.
If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I lost my app store app on my iphone 4 can anyone help me find it
lost my app store app on my iphone 4 can anyone help me find it?
It's probably there. You're most likely just having a hard time finding it among all your other apps.
Swipe left on your Home Screen until you get to the search page. Type Settings into search. Then tap on the Settings app within the search results. Many people who use large numbers of apps use this method instead of trying to remember where on which screen and in what folder an app might be hiding. -

I forgot my passcode and i have no backup of my Ipad, it is locked and disabled, can anyone help to restore factory settings atleast as a new ipad
Hey salosawaya,
If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

This morning the Iphone prompted me to update software. After that it said my phone was in recovery mode and I had the restore my phone. Now most of the apps are muted and don't respond, help!
First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".
