Unable to unzip files , unable to move apps into the app foldercant update

I cannot unzip files. Also if i try to install a new app by dragging it to the applications folder it says "that files already exists".
also if i try to update with software update it gives an error. i tried running verify disk permissions and repair disk permissions but this did nothing please help i am scared cuz my last time machine was along time ago.

Not to worry.
A few clarification questions first.
What exactly does the dialog say when you try to drag a new app to the applications folder? Is it something like, "an older version of this already exists in this location, do you want to replace it with the version you are moving?"
And, what application are you attempting to use to unzip files?

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

Since updating my IPhone 4 to IOS 6, I am unable to pull up the list of Purchased apps under the Apps/Updates.

Since updating my IPhone 4 to IOS 6, I am unable to pull up the list of Purchased apps under the Apps/Updates. I suspect I am too low on RAM to load the entire list of purchased apps. Any solution?

Hi Urs
I searched a lot and maybe found a part of the reason for this high data traffic.
I'm synchronizing my contacts, calendar & reminder with iCloud & my mail with Hotmail.
When push is activated for Hotmail, that doesn't matter, but when push is activated for iCloud, the amount of data nearly explodes. So I turned iCloud to manual and let Hotmail on push.
Contacts, calendar & reminder are synchronizing when opened (I think this is enough).
Also I do a backup on iCloud and than I deactivate the function (I do not delete the last backup, I only deactivate the option for automatic backup).
It seems, that the backup functionality also generates traffic when not on WiFi - especially at night!!
The battery life has been getting better, when I deactivated the support for automatic time zone changes (location services were always on).
The battery finaly got MUCH BETTER since the update on iOS 5.0.1.
My traffic is actually higher than on iOS 4 but not so high as before I deactivated some services...
I hope this info is a little help for you!!
Let me know if this works for you, ok?
Best regards,
Wolfgang

You are doing all that you cn do right now other than to update the apps in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.
There has been a problem with the App Store updates tab for a few days now and we are all waiting for Apple to fix it.
Look at all of the discussions on the iPad forum that are talking about this right now.

TS1702 I am unable to tap on the links on an app in the app store to go to the app support page.

When I'm viewing an app in the app store and I tap on either the button for the developers web site or the button for app support the button hi lights but nothing happens. I just upgrade to iOS 5.1 or whatever just came out. I tried turning my iPad off and on. I don't know what else to try so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When you restore your iDevice, you restore the iPad to its original, out of the box, factory settings. The last step in restoring the device is to restore your iPad from a backup in order to recover all of your app data and then you follow that with a sync with iTunes to put all of your apps, music, photos, and other media back onto the iPad. So when the complete operation is peromfed properly, you shouldn't lose anything. What you are doing is reinstalling the iOS because something may have gone corrupt.
I mention restoring as a possibility and am saying that it may be the answer to this problem after all else has failed. It may not work either so it would be a last resort - like I said, if all else fails. But there are still other things that you can try before that.
Read this support article from Apple and read all of the links that the article references so that you will have a better understanding of how the process works.

Installing the appropriate combo update may help...
If you are running v10..7 Lion, install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
For 10.6 Snow Leopard > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac. Try the App Store.
If that doesn't help, try the following..
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.
You may also need to disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall

Any more info? It could be many things including what you are doing - you do not "move" anything to the iPhoto library - you use iPhoto (or image capture) to "import" into iPhoto
We know nothing except what you tell us so full information and correct terminology is critical to getting valid answers - the more that is left to one guessing and assuming the better the chance of a bad answer

Whenever I updated or downloaded a new app from the App Store, a message appears saying:
"Account Not In This Store
Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the Swedish. store before purchasing."
I made some research online and asked a few of my friends with the same problem. All they did was sign out of iTunes from settings>iTunes & App Stores or from the App Store itself and signed back in. It worked for many of them but not with my iPhone 4s. It really does get on my nerves to always sign out and back in to the App Store as it sometimes works and allows me to update and download or most of the time it doesnt.
When viewing my Apple ID account on my iPhone (after entering the password) it either views my account or says:
"This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the U.S. iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store. Try your purchase again."
So I press on OK then either switches me to the App Store app of its choice, or says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
I tried restoring iOS6 hoping it was a bad installation, but i still have the same problem.
Can anyone help me please?
Arian

Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out.

Iphone 4, App store showing 2 updates, but when I go into the app store it says all apps are up to date.

I have an Iphone 4, IOS version 6.1.3.
My app store badge is showing 2 updates, but when I go into my app store, it tells me all apps are up to date. I've tried several of the fixes that others have who have had simular issues, but so far, I havn't seen anyone who is having the issue of the app store saying the apps are up to date. (Most others are unable to load the app store or its just blank.)
Sometimes when I go into the app store the notification will go away, but its only temporary as it will come back again later. I've gone through my purchased list, and there are none that have update beside them. There are some that have a cloud, but all of those are ones I have deleted and do not wan
Unlike most users, I do not have a ton of apps. Probably less then 30, some of those are ones it came with. If this was a computer, I would think that there is something in the registry that is left over from one of the apps I deleted and its triggering the app store. IDK if it works like that on Iphones as I'm not really an expect. This is the only apple device I've ever owned and I got it used from a friend about 6 months ago. (It was cleared and restored before I bought it from her)
Everthing else seems to be working fine for the most part, except that it has been acting kinda slow and sometimes the browser and stuff doesn't load right the first try. (I only use wifi on it, as I don't use a cellular service with this Iphone)

ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you
