Two problems with my iPhone: screen doesn't light up at notifications & iPhone says updated apps still need to be updated

Alright, I'm having two annoying problems with my iPhone. It's an iPhone 4.
I'm using the latest iOS.
The first problem is that when I get a notification (a mail, text message, whatever), I hear the sound that it makes, but the screen doesn't light up. Then, when I click the home or the turn-on / off button (basically when I'm in the lock menu), it doesn't show the notification either. Yet, in the notification settings, I've set up to show them. For example mails. I just received a few mails. For mail, I've selected the banner in the notification center. But I see no banner. I see nothing in fact. I can unlock my phone and go in mail, and see the mail there.
What could be the reason for this? I've recently done some changes on it, I mean, not exactly on the iPhone, but in iTunes. I removed all photos from my iPhone (over 3000) and all songs that were on it. I decided to sync only the latest 3 months of photos and 3 months of music. I don't think it's related but it's the last thing I've done with it, and since then this has been happening, so I thought I'd mention it.
My second problem is that, while I was updating my music and photo library on my iPhone, I also synced all app updates. I have around 6 or 7 of them, lurking there for a while, and I never got the time to download them in iTunes and sync them with my iPhone. So that's what I did as well. Strangely enough, when I visit the App Store app, under Updates, it still tells me I have 5 apps to update. I remember one I updated on the iPhone itself.
They're all listed there with the little bar that shows up when it's loading, except it isn't loading. It's just stuck there, at the very beginning. No, not even at the beginning, because the blue little bar that moves forward isn't even present.The also show up this way on my iPhone "desktop" (Home), and it says "Waiting..." below them.
I've tried syncing again, and also restarting the iPhone, but it didn't help. Anyone know what's wrong here?
I appreciate all help. Cheers guys

Nobody? The second problem is solved! But my phone still doesn't light up or shows a banner or anything when for example a mail arrives?

  • I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

    I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
    Issue 1: iTunes Match
    Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
    Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
    I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

    I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
    ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

    Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country.  Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are. 
    Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

  • I have two problems with my 2012 13" MacBook Pro. 1. Gray screen shows at startup  2. Randomly disconnects from network. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I have two problems with my 2012 13” MacBook Pro.
    Gray screen shows at startup
    Randomly disconnects from network.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    First, open Terminal in your Utilities folder and paste this into the prompt line:
    sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
    Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again.
    Next, boot the computer into Safe Mode.
    Next, do the following:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    It's either hand right or left.
    I have the same issue myself.  Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

  • Two persons with the same screen name?

    Am I seeing things, or here we have two persons with the same screen name?

    (Yes, I know it's really two identities belonging to the same person, but to my eye both screen names look identical on screen; and I thought the system prevented entering a screen name already in use).

    Rick, I must confess that I had never thought of looking for participant's screen names down there. And I still find it curious that the accent is absent at the obvious position of screen names.
    Have you ever considered investigating this sort of thing? Create a new
    Adobe ID, change values for userID, screenname, firstname and lastname
    on the Adobe side and see what changes on the Jive side? The logic may
    turn out to be surprisingly simple.
    No, I haven't and most probably I will not, at least in the foreseeable future. I have enough problems with my own account, and I waste too much time as it is on re-logging in, and on waiting for pages to load and messages to be posted, to indulge in such an investigation. Even if the logic behind two accounts that on screen seem to be associated with exactly the same screen name turns out to be exceedingly simple.

  • Why my ipad have problem with the rotation screen

    i have a problem with the rotation screen is locked, i try everything but nothing is happening help

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    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 button

  • Two Problems with iPod Nano!

    Hi Community!
    As I have already written in the topic, I've got two problems with my new iPod Nano:
    1) I charged the iPod over USB 2 and my dockingstation already about five hours, but the red sign and the message that I don't have to disconnect my iPod is still there (battery status shows full)
    2) With the docked iPod my computer doesn't boot anymore. When I disconnect the iPod it works :-/
    THX for helping me!
    dynAdZ

    Thank you for helping me with my problems, but I still don't know why my iPod gives me this message, altough it is fully charged. And the flashing warning symbol drives me nuts
    Mhh I didn't find an image for that symbol... It's a red circle which is crossed. The manual says that there should now be a green symbol, or just the menu...??

  • Two problems with kernel26-2.6.39.1-1

    hi,
    I just upgraded system, and i found two problems with kernel26-2.6.39.1-1
    first one is that i cannot use "reboot", the screen was black.
    second, i cannot use " openconnect" to connect the vpn. and the error is
    CSTP connected. DPD 30, Keepalive 20
    Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "ipid" is a garbage.
    Connected tun0 as XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, using SSL
    Continuing in background; pid 1661
    DTLS handshake failed: 2
    after i downgraded the kernel to kernel26-2.6.38.8-1, both problems were solved. so, i think, there should be something wrong with  kernel26-2.6.39.1-1

    thanks for replies.
    " poweroff" was ok. but "reboot" didnt work (kernel26-2.6.39.1-1).
    after i run "reboot",
    the xorg was first killed,
    then some   words showed on the screen line by line,
    finally, as far as i remenber, it stopped at "waiting for XXXXXX" or "XXXXXsignalXXXX".
    im sorry i forget the exact words. but i think they are the last words we can see if we run "reboot"

  • Two problems with iTunes (permissions issue?)

    Hello,
    I have two problems with iTunes. I am not sure if they are related that's why I post them both.
    1) iTunes doesn't delete apps after updating them anymore. This is happening since the (two?) last versions of iTunes and is the same with 10.5. The reason seems to be the permissions of the apps. Nearly all have "everyone = custom". Therefore I have to enter my admin password when I try to delete them manually. And iTunes itself cannot delete them on its own, of course. Why is this happening? Why is iTunes assigning such permissions to downloaded apps?
    2) I can't login to my account from within iTunes anymore. That is also happening since quite a while. I am logged in (my ID is shown in the top right of the store) but cannot access my account details. iTunes asks for my password but after entering it the login mask appears again. It's not the password itself, it is correct.
    Any suggestions?

    1. The rebooting problem was fixed, but there is still some problems with it though.
    2. It was already cleaned up, but many questions arise regarding the sound quality coming both from headset and the loudspeaker.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.
