Unable to update apps in-phone or via iTunes after updating iOS

Hello!
I'm using an iPhone 4S, jailbroken with redsn0w, with an Orange SIM card in France. I've tried using three country settings for my Apple ID (same email address, linked to my bank accounts in the US, UK, and France). The phone was working perfectly on iOS 5.1, but after updating to iOS 6, I haven't been able to update the apps on the iPhone. The apps are up-to-date on iTunes on my computer, but I can't get them to sync to the phone (despite there being no obvious problem [e.g. error message] on the computer end). When I tap the 'Update' or 'Update All' buttons in the iPhone app store, the buttons turn a darker shade of grey, and then nothing happens. Everything else is working fine.
I've tried the standard 'hold down the power and home buttons' and some of the other suggestions on here, such as changing the time to a year in the future. Any other ideas would be gratefully welcomed!

hi, Brett - I'm having a problem now restarting my iPhone.
iTunes (yep, it's the latest Windows version) keeps crashing ("iTunes has stopped working" message).
The installed apps are blacked out with text beneath the icon "Waiting".
And iTunes crashes on step 4 of 4 (Syncing Apps to John Alton iPhone 5S - step 5 of 5). Starts on the first app it tries to reinstall / sync.
I am manually installing each application because I'm unable to bring back from syn. (On the iPhone, in App Store, go to Purchased > Not on this iPhone,
But I'm still unable to run iTunes because it crashes while attempting to re-load the applications and data.
Little help?
thanks,
John

You either don't have a SIM in the phone, which is required to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it and is now a paper-weight.

Have you tried turning your phone completely off and then back on? After trying that you might want to Reset your phone by depressing the Sleep Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 15 Seconds. Then try your App Download again. If those efforts don't work there are additional threads about various App Download issues you will want to review.

Configurator is 'Unable to Update iOS". Error 11 (Preflight options copy fail)

I'm attempting to restore 720 iPads to factory settings, and place a Configurator profile on them.
I'm using a Bretford Cart that holds up to 30.
Everytime I run configurator, it's unable to update iOS, and it specifically says that It "failed to copy preflight options during recovery mode restore. Error 11."
Half of them work, and are done correctly, and the other half give the error.
Some of the iPads are on iOS 5, I'm sure, considering the amount of iPads that I'm dealing with. Could this be the issue?
What am I doing wrong?

It's been a while, but I think I had to finally completely reset all of them to factory settings, and run them through the entire system again.
It could be the cart (and configurator) having a problem applying settings to multiple OS installs. I'd put my money on this being the issue.

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

Unable to update ios apps in itunes 11.0.3

Since the update to version 11.0.3, I am unable to figure out how to update iOS apps in iTunes.
It shows that there are updates available but the button to update the apps is now missing.
Does anyone know what happened and how to fix that? It is really annoying to me that it's gone.
Thanks.

There is an "updates" tab on top where you see other options for your application for categorisation such as "All", iPAD..

Cant save app docs to mac via itunes

I have lots of docs on ipad app but dont have a subscription to Adobe DC. It doesnt let me save the app docs to my mac via itunes. How do i get around this problem? How can i save all docs or multiple docs from app to cloud at same time?

One reason I still do is because that is your only recourse if an App or a specific version is pulled from the App store or replaced with a different version. There are no guarantees that any particular app or version of an app will always be available for download.
I actually do still use several free apps that long ago now were removed and replaced with for-fee apps instead. While I have no issue with that, I don't need the new paid versions for what I use them for. My only way to ever put those back on my devices if needed is from my own backed up copies in iTunes on my computer.
Or, for example, you have a machine that is no longer compatible with iOS updates. Those new features lead developers to change their apps such that they require the newer iOS to run. If you still want to keep using your perfectly good old device with your apps, you need to have kept copies of them somewhere as once pulled from the store by the developer, they are gone.

HT1750 unable to update IOS X because pw is forgotten

I am unable to update my IOS X because I do not remember the password. There are no security questions or pw reset options.

Hi julbug41,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not able to enter the login or administrator password for your Mac, in order to update OS X, see this article for help:
OS X Mountain Lion: If you forget your login password
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11117
If you are not able to enter your Apple ID password when using the Mac App Store, use these instructions to reset your password:
If you have access to the email addresses associated with your Apple ID
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Click "Reset your password."
Enter your Apple ID and click Next.
Select "Email authentication" as your authentication method. Click Next.
Apple will send a message to the primary email address or verified rescue email address associated with your Apple ID. Open the message and click "Reset Apple ID password".
When the My Apple ID page opens, enter and confirm your new password, then click Reset Password.
If you need to reset your security questions (which should not be required to update applications using the Mac App Store), you can use this method:
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
However, if you're not able to remeber your Apple ID password, or receive email to a rescue email address, you can contact iTunes Store Support for help:
You'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have your questions and answers reset.

Phone won't start after installing iOS 6

Alright, first post here so bear with me.
So I installed iOS 6 I think maybe last Sunday and everything was fine from there. Safari, messaging, photos, apps were all working well. After the install I had lost all my apps but it didn't bother me as I don't have many so I installed them all again.
Today I forgot to install a flashlight app so I decided to do so then my phone went black. I thought hmm thats odd, and tried turning it on but it wouldn't. I thought it had simply loss battery so I connected it and it still wouldn't turn on. I decided to press and hold the home and power button to try and restore it and the apple startup screen kept flashing on and off.
Eventually I was able to restore it after numerous attempts and I decided to back it up as I did not want to lose anything. Restored and everything fine again except I was left with no apps and music, so, a bit annoyed, I added a few albums and went to my bed for a nap and tried to install Alien Blue app on my phone to read to get me to sleep but crashed again.
Now I realize it's something to do with the app store so I realize I should just probably restore my iphone clean (real pain in the *** though) but now it's not letting me restore and the start up screen is just blinking on and off. Have it connected to my computer but itunes is not reading it and have gone into Services on computer and disabled then enabled Apple Phone Device but no dice.
Is there anyone that could help me please? I would really really appreciate it.
P.S. I have an iPhone 4 which I have had for nearly 2 years, my contract runs out in December.

You may of had a corrupted install. Connect to iTunes backup then restore. Or update the apps on itunes then sync to the iPhone
