Updating/Installing Apps on the phone...great way to corrupt!

Well documented that one bad download over the phone will hose it. No response from Apple?

Also.. If you find yourself starring at an update gone wrong because the icon states it is installing for over 30min.. The way I have found is to shut off the phone by holding down the top button down and sliding the power off on the screen.
Then power back on and login to the App Store. It should ask for your App Store login before you even see another screen. Enter login and wait. A screen will pop up again stating it could not finish. Click cancel and then hold the icon (or any) down until an 'X' appear above the troubled program. Delete!
That is what I had to do..

I upgraded fro iphone4 to iphone5. i restored from backup in iCloud, and almost everything is there perfectly. there was one app on the phone, which i clicked on to finish the install, but it then disappeared. in my iTunes, under library/apps, this app still shows there. how do i reinstall this app. it was a paid app, and i searched the app store, and apparently it is no longer there.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

It appears to be fixed, he had multiple versions of iTunes installed (since he put his iTunes in a different folder) the iTunes icon launched the old iTunes, even though the new was installed. it's working now.

You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

Did you try to connect in recovery mode again? iOS: Unable to update or restore

I can not update my installed apps from the App Store Update page. I can individually update from the App Store Purchased page. I tried a soft reset but still unable. Any suggestions?

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.

I just got an iPhone 5c. Is there a way to sync it to my iPad so that all the apps on the phone are the same as the ipad? I want the to devices to be exactly the same.

You can back up your iPad, then restore the backup to your 5c. This will not transfer camera roll photos or apps that are not compatible with an iPad, but it will transfer other data, settings, apps and other purchased media.

I have an iPhone 6. I am signed in to iTunes with my Apple ID. I am updating apps and the phone keeps asking for my wife's Apple ID.

How can I find which Apple ID was used to purchase each app? I am trying to find the answer but not having any luck. thanks!

HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not. Any ideas?
Thanks Al

How do I restore to factory setting AND retain the tunes and apps on the phone or get them synched?

I'm getting the message "itunes cannot read the contents of the iphone" and asking me to restore to factory settings when attaching to PC. I have songs downloaded from itunes on my PC, and songs and apps downloaded to the iPhone from iTunes too. How do I restore to factory setting AND retain the tunes and apps on the phone or get them synched? The iPhone is working fine
iPhone4 v4.2.1 (8C148) (can't update this till above sorted)
iTunes 10.2.2.12
Basically, if there is some way of downloading a 2nd copy of tunes/apps already purchased I can resolve my issue, but I don't know if this can be done. Ican't find a FAQ on this. Thanks in advance

Why can't I update/ download apps from the app store after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3?

I have an iphone 5 and updated my phone to the lastest version (ios 7.0.3) last night. I can't download/ update any apps from the app store using my cellular network. The only error message is that the app cant be downloaded at this time. As soon as I click the download button, the image of the icon shows up with "Waiting" underneath the icon. I tried tapping on the app icon to pause the download but that isn't working. I have disabled Wi-Fi setting and enabled"the use cellular data" option in the itunes and app store setting page. Memory is not an issue because I have a lot of memory available. In the cellular setting page the App Store is enabled to use cellular data. It seems like it is a setting issue. What can be done to fix this problem

Thanks for your suggestion. Not long ago before I saw your response I tried to download the app and I seemed to have some progress (I had 5 bars and 1x). It looked it was 3/4 of the download complete only to have the same error message.
Since then I reset the phone and I have tried downloading the app when there 5 bars with 3g. Every time the icon has waiting underneath it and I get the same error message.

When i tried to update my apps in the app store, i coudn't update because of particular error is irritating me whenever i try to update..[There was an error in the app store please try again later.(20)] Any one suggest me to fix this error soon.

Yea i deleted all the apps which was purchased earlier with old Apple id ..and nw i installed all apps with my new apple id...Tanq for helping guys (Linc Davis and Dah•veed ).

I cannot find all my installed apps on the "use cellular data for" tab on the settings menu.

I have a new iphone 5s and on the first day I've received it, I updated to IOS 8.0.2.
Today, I've decided to turn my cellular data on and, in order to consume less data, I thought I would disable some of the apps. However, only a few were available/visible on the "use cellular data for" tab. However, when, with the cellular data turned on, I opened a missing app on the phone, it would start to appear on the list (where it wasn't previously). Also, when I go to the app on the settings menu, it would not have shown the option, "use cellular data" before I've opened the app and now it does. Do I need to turn on every single app before I can select my cellular data preferences? I know people with the same phone and their apps appear all, as expected.
I don't know if this is a problem of my own carrier but I don't think so, because the people I mentioned earlier have the same carrier.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?
