Tried to downoad an App on my new laptop and its just stuck being 'pending'. anybhelp would be great

the title kinda says it all.

Hello Slarty,
So the laptop is brand new but you get a "pending" error when installing or updating any App in Windows Store?
There are a several fixes on the web. Here are a couple of them.
1. Press the Windows key + R key to get the RUN dialog box.
Type wsreset.exe and hit the Enter key.
This should clear out the Windows Store cache files and stop the "pending" error.
If this does not work...
2. Force the update service to create a new SoftwareDistribution folder
Open an administrative command prompt (go to the Start screen, type "cmd", right-click on Command Prompt and hit "Run as administrator")
Type the following four commands in the command prompt, hit the Enter key after each line is typed in. 4 lines total :
net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
net start wuauserv
Restart the computer and try again. Let me know how you do.

HT201303 How can I find out what my security answers are? I am trying to purchase an app on a new device and it won't let me without answering and I have totally forgotten

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.

iTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder. Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure. In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
What exactly do you mean "not recognized"? The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone? The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced. You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

I tried to buy an app from my new iPod and the store asked me to answer my security questions, but i forgot them. So, now I have no chances left. How can I reestablish my answers?

I tried to download content from an App and the Store was requiering my answers to the personal security questions. I tried to answer them a few times, an after that, a message showed, it said that I has no chances left to introduce my answers. I want to make new questions and answers to my account, how can I do such thing?

Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.

I'm trying to redownload my music onto a new computer and its not working..I think I may have two accounts open because the one im signed into is empty and I cant remember my log in info..and when I reset it it doesnt help.

I got a new lap top and I was trying to re download my music to the new one and it's not working. I think I may have to accounts open because its saying mine hasnt been active in a while and I know thats not true...and there is no music in the library it's all empty...is it possible to have two accounts open? if so how do I cancel one. and keep the other....

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

New Laptop and a bit stuck

Hi
I have an ipod touch. I recently purchased a new laptop. On my old laptop were lots of cds that I'd uploaded into iTunes and were sync'd into my ipod touch.
I've just tried to transfer 2 new cd albums onto my ipod however I can't seem to work out how to do it.
The format all seems different. Previously I just placed in the CD and the album was loaded into iTunes. I would then sync to my ipod and the albums would show on my ipod touch. With this version, I can see all my songs when I click 'on this ipod' however it's not clear hopw I can transfer the new albums over without deleting all my current files.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please note that I am not very technically minded and do not use these type of functions regularly.
I do not subscribe to anything that costs extra. I have also switched on home sharing - not sure if this helps.
Thank you

You can only sync all media from the one syncing iTunes library/computer you can have. You have switched syncing computers/libraries. You can however sync music and videos from any computer/iTunes library if you use the manual method. See:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this your syncing computer/library:

HT1577 I am trying to upgrade iPhoto to v9.4.2(4+) and the message says library needs to be upgraded and its just stuck there for 6 hours

I am trying to upgrade iphoto to v9.4.2(4+) and it has frozen trying to upgrade my large photo library

hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

I'm trying to add free apps to my new iphone and it's telling me that I'm about to purchase it? help!

I'm wondering why Im about to be charged for downloading a free application.

You aren't going to be charged.
It is a standard iTunes and App Store message.
Disregard it when you are downloading a free app.

HT2589 I'm trying to download free apps to my new iPhone and it says there is a previous billing purchase error from my old iPod, how can I fix this to download free apps?

What should I do?

you have outstanding balance? you need to pay for that first. If you have store credits just go to your purchase history to pay for it.

Ah ... yes ..... it does have a power button. Every iPad has the same sleep/power button in the same place on the iPad. I'm happy that you found a solution .... but maybe you should download this for reference.

My old computer with my iTunes library on along with my iPod was destroyed in a fire. I have since got a new laptop and iPod plus started a new library with a new email address. How do I get the purchased tracks from my old library onto my new one?

Obviously I spent a lot of money on my old computer and on tracks for the iTunes library plus iPod and I don't wish to have to buy all those tracks again - though I had no choice but to buy a new laptop and iPod.

It looks as though i would be in situation where i have both accounts on the same computer but need a seperate ipod for each but i cant afford to but another ipod so i am letting things be as they are. I now back-up all my stuff in my current itunes library to an external driver so if the laptop breaks down i at least have saved the music to install on a new laptop or netbook. I would sign up for the icloud to save my music on that but as i understand it the cloud will only hold itune purchased tracks and those imported from cds and not any mp3 tracks purchased from another online retailer.
Thanks for helping me come to a long overdue descision on my original query.

HT1535 I am trying to manually manage apps on my new iPad.

I am trying to manually manage apps on my new iPad 3. My daughter has over 500 apps on her iPad. We share an iTunes login id. Her apps are getting loaded on my iPad and are in "waiting" status. I deleted them numerous times, but they appear as "installing" in purchases in app store.
I want to be able to download a very small subset of the apps from my daughters iPad to mine, but many are stuck in the "installing" state. I now have iTunes on my desktop set to manually manage my apps (sync apps is unchecked) but when I first plugged my iPad into the desktop via USB, I think iTunes automatically synced al of my daughter's apps to my iPad.
I know how to download the apps I want from the cloud via Purchases in app store, but how can I get the apps out of "installing" state??

If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
