TS1702 My applications won't update or open

My applications keep saying they are installing , but nothing is happening . I can't stop them installing so I can open the app. I clicked update apps and now I can't open the ones that are installing. What do I do?

Here are 3 things that you can try.
Tap the "waiting" or "installing" icons and see if you can pause one of them. If you can, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" or "installing" icon.
Or try this .... Reboot 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.
And finally ....Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.

IPhoto/iTunes won't update or open on Macbook

Here's the background. I have a MacBook which has been taken in for repairs twice. The first time they replaced the motherboard and then the second time they replaced the battery and the part where the charger attaches to the laptop. It's about 3-4 years old. For about 6 or more months now updates haven't been working. I click to install them and it does the whole loading process, restarts, etc. and when it finally starts up again, nothing has been installed or updated. So now iTunes and iPhoto won't work because i "don't have the latest version". I can't access any of my photos or sync my iPhone. Recently I bought a MacBook Air because I'm afraid of losing all my work since my MacBook isn't responding to anything. The store I bought my MacBook Air from put my iTunes songs and movies onto my Air at my request. Unfortunately they only put on the songs I bought from iTunes and not the ones I downloaded from elsewhere so instead of having 2000 songs I only have 150. The space on the Air is minimal and I'm planning on buying an external hardrive to hold everything from my MacBook. Which brings me to the problem. iTunes and iPhoto now won't open at all on my MacBook. iPhoto just says "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" but then only lets me quit. I don't understand what it means by a newer version since I haven't managed to update it for a long time. Then when I open iTunes, it just tells me to update it, which I click and load and shut down and wait for, and then when I open it up again it tells me to update the same program... I can tell updating is not working since usually it would take a while, whereas on my Macbook it just shuts down and restarts right away. Very frustrating!!!! If anyone has any tips or ideas as to what I'm doing wrong please let me know. I really don't want to take it in and pay for repairs or advice if it's something I can fix myself. Thank you!

OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit

ITunes won't update or open?

I attempted to update my iTunes on my macbook yesterday and apparently I didn't close the app before I started the update, so it gave me a warning message that in order to complete the installation I had to close iTunes...yet when I clicked on the app to close it I got another error message saying that I couldn't open iTunes during the updating. So, how exactly can I close the app if I can't open it? It looks like it's already closed itself when I started to update it but it keeps telling me it's open. The error message won't go away, either, and it's been on my screen ever since it popped up. Is there a way just to force-quit all my apps or something? Help please I need my music!

Applications won't update in iTunes

All of my iPhone Applications will update on my iPhone running 2.2, but when I go to iTunes it says no updates are available, when there obviously are. Anyone else experiencing this? it's been not updating the last week I guess.

I have the same problem.
You can read the only solution I found here (David Doukidis):

But it's not a final solution, 'cos the problem appears again.

Apps on iPad Air won't update - just open

When I select UPDATE for an app in the App Store, the App opens instead of updating. When I return to the App Store, the update remains.
This started after updating to iOS 8.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix?

I'm still on an older version of 7, but it started immediately after Apple release 8. It's a problem with their store.
As resetting is not an option for rme, i found one thing that sorta helps... I make sure the store isn't running, then I launch it, then tap Updates, and then frantically tap where Update All will be. It works maybe one out of 5 times I try, and then that works until the iPad thinks it is running out of storage space and the cycle begins again...

Blackberry Pearl 8130 Applications won't update...

I just downloaded the new DTM and everytime I hit update under Applications I get the response, "Blackberry Desktop Manager could not download the required files. There may be a problem with your network connection or the server is not responding. Please try again later."
Mac OSX version 10.6.1
2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo

It also takes a surprisingly LONG time to complete. I am on a new MacPro 2.66 Quad Core running 8GB ram, so the slowness must be with the Blackberry's little processor. The application updates took nearly an hour to complete. I was starting to read the 'troubleshooting' posts and I am glad I let it complete.
Blackberry should have posted how long this takes is normal.

TS1702 My apps won't update and I get a message saying "This apple I'd is only valid for use in a Canadian store". I only have a canadian account. Why can't I update on already purchased apps?

I live in white rock but do travel to the states a lot. I've heard that if you have an American account you can buy apps from the us but have to log in back and forth to use them. But I only have one account and it's Canadian. Everything worked fine until recently I can no longer update apps I've been using since I bought my iPad. It always kicks me back and forth between us and Canadian stores but doesn't update anything. I've tried restarting and reloading, deleting and repurchasing. I haven't seen anybody else with this one! Please help!

Go to Settings > Store, select your Apple ID and press View Account. You will be able to change the country

Applications won't update?

I've been having this problem now for a while. I have about 14 apps that refuse to update from the App-store. My iPhone is not jailbroken or anything and never has been. When I click "update all" it asks for my password but that box quickly disappears and is replaced with a box that says "cannot connect to itunes store". That box has an OK button but I can't click it. Instead, it asks for my password again and then updates the apps that are not in the aforementioned 14. The 14 apps are always the same and I haven't been able to update them for months!
I had the same problem on my ipod touch last year before I got my iPhone. It wasn't the same apps that weren't updating though.
This is getting very frustrating
Thank you for your help.

anyone?

Some applications won't open after updating to OS 10.8.5

I am running the Mountain Lion on a 2009 Macbook Air. I just did an update to 10.8.5 and now some of my applications won't open. A few of the appications that no longer run are Chrome, iPhoto and all Microsoft applications.
I tried uninstalling an reinstalling the apps but that did nothing, I also tried creating a new user account to see if the problem persisted in there and it did. I then tried removing my caches folder from Library which also fixed nothing. I then tried booting it in safe mode and the applications successfully opened in there.
I obviously can't just boot my Macbook up in safe mode whenever I need to use it so if anyone knows how this problem could be solved? They were all functioning normally before I did the most recent update of OS.
I have tried repairing the disk permissions but that resulted in no change also. I do not have the start up disk for Mountain Lion so reinstalling the OS is not possible, nor is booting from disk.
I'm in my final year of college, in the middle of my final year project I REALLY need this fixed.

When I try to open iPhoto, Unity, Chrome or a few others it gives me the same error each time. "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X"
But that doesn't make sense because I just updated the OS and all my applications are up to date also. I've tried reinstalling, no joy though.

Applications won't open after software update

Hello, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

Applications won't open after Quicktime Update...and fix won't work!

Hello,
I'm having the same problem as many others: after the recent Quicktime update most of my applications won't open.
I've followed the instructions from Apple at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306043
However, when I do the "sudo" prebinding thing, I get this:
update_prebinding: error: dependent dylib is not prebound
update_prebinding: error 256 running updateprebindingcore
Any ideas?! Thanks!
