The app store has been trying to update software for nearly 2 months, has anyone had this  problem before??

Hi Guys,
just wondering if any one can help out with my app store? It has been trying to update itunes for nearly 2 months now. It wont let me shut down my mac or close the store. It comes up with "canot quit with updates are in progress" Thanks

Do you get any error messages ? If you get a network timeout error when downloading the update then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
It's best to only update via your own computer, otherwise you risk losing all your iPad's contents - updating to iOS 5 wipes the iPad and then restores your backup. If you having problems downloading the update then you could try downloading the update file via a browser on another computer and then copying that file to your laptop for the actual update .

    What did you use to download it with? iPad? iPhone? Computer?
    If it's an iPad/iPhone, play it using the videos app.
    If on the computer, look on the left side of iTunes in the library under movies.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Are you sure the settings are correct? Did you check the outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    I love my music alot , but two weeks ago I started losing songs three at a time or more......has anyone ever had this problem before?

    Thanks roaminggnome....my teenage son uses this phone and hasn't backed it up...so I don't want to restore it to factory settings just yet. Tried your other suggestions with no joy so if it comes on normally after discharging the battery tonight I'll restore it after backing up all his contacts ,music etc.
    I was curious as to what the fault actually is as no-one seems to have had this one where I've looked on the internet.
    The phone was dropped and subsequently repaired through insurance in Sept 2011 and they issued me with another imea number so the complete internals of the phone must have been replaced by them so I hope that the fault is covered by their normal warranty on work carried out. Thanks for your reply.

  • Hi I have a MacBook Pro 2011 i7 and it stays on for about 4 hours then the screen go's fuzzy and I have to turn it off by the power button has anyone had this problem thanks mike

    I Have a MacBook Pro i7 2011 it stays on for about 4 hours then the screen go's all fuzzy and I have to turn it off by the power button has any body else had this problem thanks mike

    My guess would also be a failling connection between your logicboard and your GPU. See 2011 MacBook Pro and Discrete Graphics Card
    For most users it starts with some random crashes and freezes like you describe it. And then it just gets worse and worse. There are still no "good" solutions, sadly. This is a hardware problem from the production.

  • HT4059 After giving up the iPad2, I bought the 3rd gen.  I was happy with it until I tried to download my books.  All apps downloaded fine.  I'm still having trouble downloading the books.  Has anyone had this problem?

    This is my first time asking a question.  I'm guessing at what I need to do.  I don't see steps to follow and so...here goes!
    I have used the original iPad, the second gen, and now bought the 3rd gen.  I have had no trouble in downloading all my apps and books from one iPad to the next until I bought the iPad3.  Was this a mistake???
    I continue to have trouble viewing my books or PDFs through the iBook(shelf).  When going into the Apple Store, the tech and I were very confused.  He even messaged his boss.  We discovered that if we typed in the title, it would appear as "install."  If I clicked on "installation" I could reinstall it on my new iPad3.  Last week, before giving up my iPad2 to my district, I wanted more storage space.  The Apple tech noticed that I had 2 accounts.  Because they were for the iPads which I had returned, I deleted them which recovered a lot of memory.  Then, I bought the iPad3 and problems began!  Help!!!

    AT&T uses Yahoo for its webmail.  The only way to access mail without Yahoo is through e-mail software such as Entourage. (My MacBook's Mail software has never accepted the AT&T settings, so I gave up long ago.)
    When I first got the iPad about three weeks ago, I took a chance and selected the Yahoo account option to set up my incoming and outgoing mail servers. And the settings that the iPad chose worked beautifully. Until today.
    That might very well be part of my problem. However... why wasn't it a problem at all until about three hours ago? I'm a little afraid to change settings right now, in case it's just AT&T mucking around on their end this afternoon. I keep hoping it will just start working again.
    Full disclosure: I actually did get two messages to go through after I installed then deleted the Dropbox app. I was so happy. I thought it was fixed. But a second message -- and about ten subsequent messages -- did not go through. It's very hit or miss. But 99% of the time, the icon spins and the message doesn't go anywhere. The first time it happened, it told me the outgoing mail server wasn't available. The other times, there was nothing but spinning until I force-quit the Mail app in the dock. There's nothing in the outbox at all, perhaps because I quit before an autosave could occur.

  • I recently had an update on my computer. Now every time I shut the lid of my computer, all of my webpages close. My computer never used to do that. Has anyone had this problem before, and if so, how did you fix it?

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro. I had not done any updates on my computer for a long time, but recently I allowed my computer to do one of the updates it had been asking me to do for a long time. Now whenever I shut the lid of my computer, all of my open webpages that I was using close. So the next time I go to use my computer, none of my webpages are available and I have to reopen everything! My computer never used to do that. I am wondering what I need to do to stop my computer from automatically shutting down all of my webpages whenever I close the lid of my computer.
    Thanks,

  • Why does my 4s keep freezing,closing apps and internet. Has anyone had this problem before and know how I can fix it, all info welcome thanks

    This just started two weeks ago, I don't know how or if it can be fixed,

    Probably memory fragmentation. While on the Home screen double-press the HOME button. Then swipe the screen image of each open app up to close the app. When all of the apps have been closed press HOME again, then reset the phone by holding HOME and SLEEP at the same time until an Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.
