Update Alerts That Never Go Away

I keep getting update alerts for two of the apps on my G3S: Dictionary.com and Real Soccer 2009. In both cases, syncing with the most up-to-date version through iTunes seems for a moment or even a few hours to rectify the problem. But then I get the alert again even though no new updates are available. (NOTE: I just replaced a first-generation iPhone that was also getting continual alerts for these two products.) Any ideas?

Suggest you do the following two steps starting with the first one. If the problem hasn't been resolved, do the second.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I currently have 3.6.13 version but get update alert that won't download.

    I have gotten two update alerts for security from Firefox in the last two weeks that never download. I have waited for over an hour and then just cancel. I don't want to miss out on a security update that is important.

    I was so happy when I got a second MB of memory on my XP laptop, but I understand that not everyone can do it...
    I don't know whether anyone has recently compared browsers to see which perform best with limited memory available. You might have to test for yourself.
    If you are still running IE7, have you tried IE8?
    If you haven't tested Google Chrome, you could give it a try.
    By the way, if there are specific performance issues such as slow startup, slow page loading, etc., please list them so you can get suggestions on those.

  • Smart "unread" mailbox read messages that never go away...

    On Mavericks, latest Mac Mail product:
    From time to time my "smart mailbox" that is supposed to show all the unread messages in my inbox persists in keeping some messages that I have already read, and that are marked as already read.  I can open and close the folder, quick mail, even restart my machine and these messages just stay there persisting.   I've heard of people having this problem but never seen a solution.... eventually it goes away, but comes back a short time later with other messages.  Doesn't seem to be a pattern.
    Thoughts?

    Hello nickaster,
    It sounds like you have a Smart Mailbox that is not working correctly, but the issue seems to be intermitent. I would delete the Smart Mailbox first:
    Select the mailbox and choose Mailbox > Delete Mailbox.
    Mail (Mavericks): Delete mailboxes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14961
    Then restart the computer, and create it again:
    Create a Smart Mailbox:
    Choose Mailbox > New Smart Mailbox. Use the pop-up menus and text fields to define the search criteria for the mailbox. You can also save a search, which is saved as a Smart Mailbox.

  • Present version 7.0.1, get update available for 8.0.1. Fire off the update which starts a down load and finishes. Then get "connect to update server" that never connects. This has happened over a 2 week period.

    My 7.0.1 program tells me there is an update available, 8.0.1..
    I fire off the update which downloads an installer.
    When I restart firefox to get the update installed, it does the restart and fires off an new window stating it is contacting the update server. This will continue to contact for 30 minutes with no connection made.
    So my browser stays at 7.0.1.
    Windows Vista Ultimate, sp2 64-bit.

    OK. That worked. Any idea why the original update does not function? Is it pointing to a bad site name? Curious minds would like to know and I think the folks should clear up the issue.

  • I have a 24" mid 2008 imac when i plug the head phone jack into my stereo i have a hum that never goes away.

    i have tried grounding both the head unit and also the computer it self and all i find is the noise is still there. what can i do to get rid of the noise? i think the problem is in the grounding of the head phone jack it's self but i dont know. has any one else had this same problem? thanks for your time.

    How did you confirm grounding? How old is your house? Does it have 3-prong outlets? If not, there's no guarantee they are wired right even if they are the ones with one wider prong slot. If they are 3-prong, that's still no gurantee they are wired right. You would need one of the below to be sure. Just trying to save a lot of troubleshooting of devices when it could be your house wiring.

  • Pro Applications Update 2008-05  Never going away.

    No matter how many times I say install this update every time I run the software update tool it is always there wanting to be installed. I am running Snow leopard. Let me know what other information I can provide to help. I have Logic Pro 8 installed.

    I figured out what the problem is for me at least. I had formatted my drive as Case Sensitive. I did a reformat (now it's just Mac OS Extended Journaled) and reinstall and Logic updates just fine now. In addition, other weird problems I was having have disappeared.

  • Whenever I start Firefox There is a blue bar at the top that says "downloading the latest applications" that never goes away. Any way to fix this?

    There is also a little animated download circle on the bar that is located just above the window tabs. I left Firefox open for hours and rebooted and it still comes up every time.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • HT1386 Because of limited internet on my iphone 5, i download updates to apps thru ITunes and then sync them to my iphone.  Lately, the apps download properly and the sync seems to go thru, but on my phone, they keep saying they are updating and it never

    Because I have limited internet package on my att iphone 5, I update apps on my computer thru ITunes and then sync them to my phone.  The downloads seems to go thru and then install.  But when I turn on my phone, the affected apps continue to say they are updating and it never goes away.  I do not have wifi but when I am connected, the apps don't update.  Help!!!!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Itunes says "update complete" but "do not disconnect" never goes away!

    So, I wait and wait and "do not disconnect" on my ipod never goes away.
    A little history:
    I got my nano a few weeks ago, put a few songs on - everything worked fine. Then, I got a new computer. Since I only put a few songs on, I didnt mind starting from scratch. Now, I can't seem to get it to work!? I have songs in itunes. when i click on my ipod, it shows that i have songs on the ipod, it SAYS the update is complete, my ipod shows "do not disconnect" i wait for ages, and then finally just eject the ipod, and - NO SONGS are on it.
    help please. thanks

    Do not disconnect always on, this happens when you have "enable disk use" ticked in the iPod preferences, in which case you have to manually eject your iPod.
    However if you are automatically updating your iPod and do not intend using it as a portable hard drive, you can set your iPod to automatically disconnect.
    Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes and also have a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
    If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer

  • Mac app store tells me to log into edited by host account to update apps(that I don't own) but that is not my account and I never heard of this email. Is there a fix for this?

    mac app store tells me to log into <edited by host> account to update apps(that I don't own) but that is not my account and I never heard of this email. Is there a fix for this?

    Everyone here - please take a look at this thread ( the last two posts by WZZZ and Thomas Reed):
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15205291#15205291
    It appears that a) Hotmail has 19 domains functioning as distributors for malware and b) someone is distributing pirated software. Although it does not appear to be related to the recent trojan, my suggestion: stay away from both.
    Edit: so why does everyone here appear to have pirated software (and doing it through it App Store)?????

  • I receive a Software Update notice that fails. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? How do I stop its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

    About once a month I receive the Software update notice that has failed. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? If I decided I want this update how do I allow it to continue? If I decided I do not want this update how do I stop it and its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

    Hi sharkbiscuit79,
    Yes your cabinet 10 on the Crediton exchange has already been installed and linked with a FTTC DSLAM cabinet (making it able to provide FTTC fibre broadband) and has been Accepting FTTC orders since December 2013.  PCP10 (with it's DSLAM cabinet within 100meters of it) is locate on the junction of Commercial Road and the A3072.
    However by the looks of things your are just too far away to obtain a FTTC (VDSL2) connection, meaning FTTC fibre broadband is not available to you.
    Have a look at the Connecting Devon and Somerset Considerations (particularly the last paragraph) - http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/where-when-map-conditions/
    Your best bet is to talk to Connecting Devon and Somerset to see if there are any further plans to get a fibre based service to your area via https://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/contact-us/ (as your area may not be inscope of any further deployment). Best give them your full address and landline number too as they can check if you are within a NGA area.

  • I have received the alert that my version of Safari no longer supports Youtube viewing. I am running version 5.1.10 on OS 10.6.8. Is there an update or a newer Safari version that is compatible with my OS?

    I have received the alert that my version of Safari no longer supports Youtube viewing. I am running version 5.1.10 on OS 10.6.8. Is there an update or a newer Safari version that is compatible with my OS?

    No, not without upgrading to a higher version of the Mac OS. However, the easiest thing to do is get another browser for use with sites that don't like older versions of Saari. I always have a secondary browser on any computer, Mac or PC. For our Macs, I install FireFiox alongside Safari when setting up a new computer.
    As FireFox is updated sometimes weekly, YouTube should not have a problem with it.

  • Why is it that you took away emailing customer support... CHAT is never online!

    It is getting so frustrating to contact your Customer Service for anything.  Can you explain why it is that you took away the email Customer Service option and replaced it by a chat button that is ALWAYS greyed out!  It takes longer in days to simply chat with an agent never mind the hours that go by refreshing the page to even see if the button becomes available for you to use.  In this time of technical support being completed online you would think Verizon would be one of the best, however with this you are FAR from.

    Agreed.  You simply can't reach them. Why not queue us? That's what the phone does when you're put on hold. Just another roadblock so they don't have to assist us.
