Updating apps won't complete install

I am trying to update apps, and it is 'installing' and has been for 2 days without completing any updates. I am wifi connected

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

IPod touch wont update apps but it will install new ones?

My iPod touch 4th with ios 6.1.6 wont update apps, but i can install a new one.
I go to the app store, updates, they show up i can hit update all or do them separately doesn't matter.
Click on update it will switch to installing and ask for my password. Enter it and the installing will change back to update and do nothing.
I have 47GB of space and no more later versions of ios to upgrade to. This one particular app upgrade only requires ios 4. something.
With all this i am still able to install a new app and make purchases.
Any Advise

Go to the App Store and look at the requirements for the update. The update may require iOS 7 or higher. Sometimes updates get coded incorrectly and thus the iPod says an update is applicable when it really is not.

Updated apps won't sync to my mac iTunes

Hey Guys,
I have recently updated my MBP to a MBP retina and I used to be able to auto sync all the apps that I update on my iPhone 5s or iPod 5th gen or iPad air to my iTunes but ever since i started using MBP retina it won’t work anymore. I can’t possibly download the same apps on each device just because the updated apps won’t sync to my iTunes, I used to do all the updates on one device and then sync everything to my iTunes and then sync my other devices to my iTunes and then I would have the same updated apps on each device and in my iTunes,
Could someone please help me?
I’m going crazy here…

You might try Resetting All Settings, Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings and then reset as a new phone.
This will not erase any of your content but it sets the phone back to factory defaults on everything.
Worst case you may need to restore the phone form iTunes as a new phone and then restore from a back up to get your content back on your phone.

Updated apps won't sync to Ipod Touch

I've been having this problem for a while now. Whenever I update an app that I already have, the updated app won't sync to my touch and I get an error message. However, new apps downloaded from itunes work fine, they just are not current. Any help?

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- NextI would restore from backup.

Itunes won't complete installing?

My itunes won't complete the install process? please help

I tried turning off my anti-virus to no avail. I really have no idea what are they are talking about with "Tools-Downloads" The only place you can do anything is under Help-Check for Updates, and I assumed that was the same thing.
I also tried to email Apple but they need the serial number of my Itunes. How do you find that? I didn't even know Itunes had a serial number.

Software Update App won't connect via Airport

In my main admin account, the Software Update App will not connect to the network over Airport. It will connect using a wired connection and will connect from a different account. It seems that something in this admin account is broken, but I cannot find a solution. I have upgraded to OS X 10.5.1(Archive and Install) and have installed all the latest updates via the wired connection. Everything else including Safari, Mail, and iChat seem to work fine. I cannot find any solution in the discussions for this particular problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions with the following results:

Now Software Update seems to work. Are these warnings serious?

Updated Apps won't Sync

In the past couple of weeks, I've run into an issue where my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 will indicate that there are available updates to apps on the device. This is indicated by the red badge that appears on the App Store. I open iTunes, download all available updates, and proceed to sync my iOS devices. The sync finishes without any error messages, but the updated apps don't get pushed to the iOS devices. It doesn't matter if I sync via Wi-Fi or USB, updated apps aren't being synced.
If I update the apps using the App Store app on my iPhone or iPad, the updates are installed successfully. If I delete the app from my iPhone or iPad and then sync with iTunes, the updated app is synced correctly.
All other media (music, videos, podcasts, photos) is synced as expected. I can't figure out why the updated apps aren't being applied during a sync with iTunes and it's driving me crazy. I don't want to have to use the App Store app for updates. I just want to use iTunes like I've always done.
Both devices are running iOS 5.1.1. I'm running iTunes version 10.6.3.25 on Windows 7 64bit.

I have exactly the same issue, but with the latest Apple equipment... New iMac, Yosemite OS, and iPhone 6 Plus. Did you ever get an answer?

Updated app won't run on device.

Hi. I've recently updated my app using Xcode 4.5.2 but I have got some complaints from users who say the updated app doesn't open on their devices. They have iOS 5.1, but I am sure I have set the deployment target as iOS 5.0. Can anyone give me help? How can I solve this problem? Thanks. Andrea.

You can't run iPad/iPhone apps on any Mac - it's a completely different operating system and you have to use applications designed for it. There is no equivalent app in the App Store which is available in your Applications folder, which is one way of obtaining Mac applications.

Itunes 6.0.2 won't completely install

Tried to install v 6.0.2 a couple of days ago but got following message at end:
"...install was interrupted before it could be completely installed. System has not been modified. Click finish and try to install again." Tried that...same thing..
I've read some of the posts here and have verified I have all antivirus / spyware turned off. I ran ewido and deleted what it found (cookies). Next ran adaware - deleted what it found (cookies and virus). Then ran AVG free (freeware to detect virus') and deleted what it found (several trojan horse virus in different directories although none seemingly related to itunes or quicktime). Thought I was making progress until I went back to download & reinstall standalone (quicktime) and got same "interrupted before install complete" message.
I have verified I no longer have itunes listed as one of my programs. I do see qttask.exe as one of my processes running in task manager. Not sure if it should be there or not.
Through all of this I no longer have songs on my ipod although I noticed they are in their normal directory on the PC.
Don't know what to do next. I'm going on a trip in 5 days and would like to at least get my songs locaded back on my ipod - even if it means I have to wait till later to fix itunes. Not sure if this is possible however.
Thx in advance for any suggestions.

hi y'all!
lefty, even though you're not getting a 1607 (or a quit with no error message at the "publishing product information" stage), did you try applying the relevant techniques from the document Katrina linked you to earlier in the thread?
iTunes for Windows installation quits while publishing product information
... might be worth a try. we managed to fix one of your error messages using that doc on a 6.0.3.5 install earlier this evening:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1751177#1751177
(i thought that the error message might have been associated with having this problem on a 6.0.3.5 install ... but apparently not, given your report.)

Elements 8 won't complete install?

I am rtying to install Elements 8 and it get to about 95% finished and just stops installing, when I choose quit it tells me something to do with a font has caused it to quit installing. I have clicked more information and it doesn't tell me which font is causing the problem. I clicked get support and downloaded the Adobe Suite Advisor and it didn't help either. I also ran CS4Cleanup and did everything it said to do, but even after cleanup and retsart it will not completely install.
Is there something wrong with the download file? What can I do to fix this?

Glad that you are able to fix this issue by yourself.
If you may, please post the link of the other thread which helped in resolving this issue on this thread as well so any users in future which stumble upon your thread will get re-directed at the correct place.

Google Maps & apps won't stop installing.

When I purchased my Fascinate, I was concerned about being able to tether my phone to my laptop so I would be able to access the internet while on the road. [Edited to comply with Terms of Service] Not thinking anything about it for a couple days and then started the download for Google Maps. [Edited to comply with Terms of Service] I downloaded Google Maps and after a few days, it still says "installing". I have downloaded numerous apps since and they have all downloaded and installed just fine.
This evening I turned off my phone, removed the battery for 30 seconds, turned it back on and they are still saying they are "installing". When I press app, the only option I have is "details"....there is no "cancel" as there is on the other apps that I have installed.
How can I stop these downloads/installations? I definitely want the Google Maps on my phone!! [Edited to comply with Terms of Service]
I'd appreciate any help that you can send my way! Thanks!

Yes, "Maps" does show in my apps. I click on "maps", then menu/more/about and it says Google Maps Version 4.5.1 so I guess it has installed. When I got my phone, there was an icon in the apps named "maps". I assumed that wasn't Google Maps or possibly was not the full version. Was it Google Maps?? I did clear the cache like you suggested but it didn't help delete the installing problem in the market download. I powered down my phone and turned it back on....still the same.
I really appreciate your help and suggestions. I'm wondering if what my problem is, is also helping to constantly put a drain on the battery?

Tiger disc won't eject and won't completely install

Well, I've made some progress. In case you didn't see my earlier post, my hard drive crashed. I bought a new one from iFixit.com with more memory. The installation went smoothly as far as I can tell. I have an aluminum 17 in Powerbook G4 with 1.0 mghz. I am trying to install Tiger and then restore my data from my Maxtor external hard drive where I have the data backed up. I read somewhere to check the memory. I have two and found I hadn't seated them well enough. Now the Tiger disc will open and start installing, but when it comes to the screen where it says to select a destination volume, I am given no choices and I can't go forward. I still need to know if I can completely install Tiger from the Tiger disc or do I need to install the original Software install and restore disc first. Then, how can I get the Tiger disc out. I have tried the eject button, starting it up with the mouse key down, starting it up with the option key down, and tweezers. Nothing works to eject the disc. Also now I can't physically open the top from the body of the computer with the battery in place. It opens fine with the battery out.I would appreciate some help. Thank you in advance.
Carl Sutherland

BDAqua,
I don't know anything about those things. The instructions on installing the new hard drive were very detailed and didn't mention any of those terms. I still think I may need to install that original disc I got with my computer but I can't because the Tiger disc is stuck.
Thanks
Carl

After installing latest update, iMac won't complete startup

It gets to the gray screen with the apple logo and spinning disk, and stays there. It won't let me boot from the install disk, so I can't try a reinstall. I thought I might be able to load Disk Utility via Unix (which I can get to) and repair the permissions, but that doesn't seem to work either (though I don't know Unix well so that could be my fault).

Hi
Anything unusual happen during the 10.5.3 update installation phase?
What type of iMac are you using? Your tag says G5 but also Intel core processors - it can't be both.
Try this:
-First unplug your computer and wait 10 minutes
-Next, simultaneously reinsert the power cord while pressing the power button for 5 seconds then release
-Press the power button again to start the computer - this resets the computer's system management unit (SMU) which controls your machines power functions.
-Next, press/hold down the P/R/option/command keys for 3 Apple chimes. This clears the machine's PRAM. After the 3rd chime release those keys and immediately hold down the Shift key to put the machine into Safe User Mode
-If you get to a log-in screen (may take several minutes as repair functions are occurring on the boot), log-in. When the login is complete, restart the computer as usual.
If no go, I suggest taking the machine to a certified Apple tech, or if you live near an Apple store to the Genius Bar.

10.9.2 won't complete install, won't restart stops at grey screen, multiple attempts, last overnight, have to shut off my holding power switch, when back on, says computer needs to restart in updates.

I cant get the update to complete, keeps hanging with a grey screen and have to manually restart, completely frozen at this point 3 times now.

Having the same exact problem on my iMac 2010 21.5". Tried countless time and different ways to try installing the update and still ending up with the same result (grey screen with software updater at top and it just stalls out on doing anything). Now my computer with not shutdown or restart without holding the power button.

HT201210 Iphone 4s connected to laptop for update, but won't complete...in recovery mode...says if I restore will loose media. Want to do a app transfer, but won't allow, Have things I do not want to loose if I restore to factory settings.

Hi! I have connected my 4S to laptop to do software update, but it did not complete. says that phone is in restore mode and that if i continue restore to factory settings, i will loose all data. I have apps and media that I did not transfer but I don't seem to be able to get back and do this. Can anyone help?

Your data in your iPhone is losing in recovery mode, and it is hard to restore.
It is difficult to say it can recover all your data, but you can only have a try. That is a third iPhone data recovery software.
