Updating Apps on iPhone 4 - Waiting icons and more

Since getting the iPhone 4 about a week ago, I notice when I update my apps from my phone, it sometimes shows the "Waiting" alert on the app and nothing changes. Sometimes when I restart it all the apps are normal and updated. Other times I have two of the same app (happened only twice). Today I had to restart my iPhone and all apps updated (I think) except one which didn't show the app icon but a gray square. It worked fine though. I ended up deleting it and resyncing the app from iTunes (after I updated all the apps from iTunes first).
Anyone else getting this weird app update hiccup on the iPhone 4?

I called Applecare, and after 15 min of repeating the myself. They suggested that it's a problem with my wifi. I'm using an Airport Extreme, we have 3 Macs and 2 iPhones in the house, none of them have problems connecting to the network. All of them get really fast download speeds, none of them ever drop connections. So I was told that I should just do a restore on my iPhone 4, but they weren't sure if this would correct the problem. I was told that it's just likely a bug in iOS 4.1, and they couldn't think of anything else to try, and I was told that I would have to wait for an update for iPhone. So I guess I'll just continue powering off my phone, until this problem is solved by Apple.

Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad. Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad. Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad. If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad. Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space. The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

Why do I get a permanent wait icon and Basic C notice on the task bar on my XP when I burn disks using iTunes?

Why do I get a permanent wait icon and Basic C notice on the task bar on my XP when I burn disks using iTunes? How do I get rid of the wait icon when I leave iTunes?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Sounds like Zoom is enabled. Here's what to do.
Use "3" fingers and double tap on the screen to zoom out. then just go to Settings/General/Accessibility and turn Zoom off

Hi sgray2832,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone becoming unresponsive or turning off unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
