Updating iphone4 apps from iphone using Wi-Fi

I could not seem to get my iphone4 to update any apps from iphone using Wi-Fi. It simply goes into the menu and no update shows up.

I fixed the problem by following instructions on http://appletoolbox.com/2012/10/app-store-not-working-blank-screen/
I have copied the instructions below for convenience:
Several users have reported an inability to access the App Store, meaning that when the buttons Purchased, Search, Categories, or Charts are tapped, users are shown blank pages and nothing loads when they want to use the App Store on an iPad or iPhone. Several people also reported that this problem started after they updated to iOS 6.
How to Fix
Please try each step until you resolve your issue:
Tap Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically > Off. Set the date one year ahead. Then try to access the App Store.
It may be a connection issue. Try changing your DNS settings to Google’s open DNS by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi >, tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network, and then tap the “DNS” field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8 (Google’s Public DNS). (see this article)
Close the App Store completely by pressing the home button twice, pressing and hold the App Store icon until it starts to wiggle, then tapping the minus sign to close it. Re-launch the App Store.
Restart your device by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button until “Slide to Power off” appears.
Launch the App Store; if it is still blank with nothing shown, wait a few minutes. Sometimes apps may load slowly because of networking issues.
If still nothing appears, try changing the device’s language by tapping Settings > General > International > Language. Pick a language. Pick any other second language you already know or be familiar with. If you don’t, do not forget to navigate back in a different language. Change the language, launch the App Store, then change the language back to what it was originally.
Sign out of your Apple ID by tapping Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap your Apple ID and select “Sign Out”. Wait one minute and sign back in by reentering your Apple ID and password.

Ios7 update, removing apps from iphone 4

I updated by iphone 4 today and now I am not able to remove apps from my phone when it is connected to Itunes. I also never had the black x's appear on the apps when they are shaking. Help, I want to clean off my phone!

Use the latest version of iTunes - 11.1.1 Its been available for 48 hours.

Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
Now this doesnt work.
The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
This doesnt work either.
I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
Im running:
Macbook Air 2012
OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

My weather app from iPhone is not updating

Since Saturday, my weather app from iPhone 5 hasn't been updating sometimes.
All of a sudden, it starts working again.
- Why does that happen?
- Is there any solution?
Thanks!

Hello thiagok91,
I have a few recommendations for this issue you describe. First if you havent already, restart the phone.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, then I suggest toggling the Location Services off and then back on in settings outlined here:
Turning Location Services on or off
You can turn Location Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting. You can turn it off if you don't want to use this feature or to conserve battery life. You can individually control which applications and system services have access to Location Services data.
Settings > Privacy > Location Services:
From: iOS 6: Understanding Location Services http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5467
And if needed, you may need to quit the app, and re launch it.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Take care,
Sterling

Yes. Delete the Apps that were not Purchased using Your Apple ID.
But a Restore as New is the way to go.

Not able to update any apps from new apple id.. Old id im not using anymore., cannot access the old one

If you change your Apple ID, all the apps you purchased with the previous ID will no longer updatable for you and this problem will continue. You see your old Apple ID because you are likely still using some of the apps purchased on that ID.

Sync app from iphone 3G s to iphone4

Hi,there
I have problem,to sync my old app from iphone 3Gs to iphnoe 4.
I took back up from iphone 3Gs but most app didnt back up..

Calendar syncing via Exchange 03/07 is entirely too unreliable for Enterprise usage.
We have mixed results with it and experience the same thing you do.

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.

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

SeanB15 wrote:
Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, one of you can help me??
we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you?

Copying legally bought apps from Iphone 3G to Iphone 4

Hi
I'm new to this forum, checked the latest posts but couldn't find any solution.
Is there any possibility to copy or transfer apps from Iphone 3G to Iphone 4? On both Iphone's i have IOS 4.1. I payed a lot for my apps on Iphone 3G, backed up the Iphone in Itunes, but when I loaded the back up to Iphone 4 it only copied the phone numbers and SMS. I don't feel the need to use the apps on my Iphone 3G, because I want to use it as Ipod now, so I guess it's not illegal. Is there any way to do it or I just lost my money and have to buy same apps again?

There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer and this includes 3rd party apps. If you have an iPod Touch, an iPad, and an iPhone, you can transfer the same 3rd party apps to all 3 devices. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes with a backup created and maintained for each device which is updated by iTunes automatically as the first step during the iTunes sync process for each device.
All apps on your 3G should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Apps are not included with the iPhone's backup but 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with the iPhone's backup.
If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and this should be selected for a number of reasons, after downloading an app with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
If this is not currently selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences with iTunes, before selecting this with the 3G connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of the iPhone which should transfer/copy all 3rd party apps from the iPhone to your iTunes library. After confirming all apps on the 3G are available in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps and make sure all apps on the iPhone are selected below.
With your iPhone 4 connected to iTunes, select Sync Apps followed by selecting the apps below that you want installed on the iPhone followed by a sync.

The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

Syncing Apps from iPhone to iTunes with folder grouping

Hi,
I have close to 200 apps on my iPhone structured into approx 50 folders.
These apps are downloaded firectly from iTunes (via wifi).
Now, i want to sync them to my PC via iTunes.
I used the option "Transfer purchases" for that.
But the folder are not synced.
If choose Sync App options, i am afraid i will loose all my folders and it will really time consuming to create them again.
How can get my folders and Apps from iPhone to iTunes ?
Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

Apps are transferred automatically (most of the time, that is!) during the backup that runs prior to the sync (unless you've disabled backup)
If you are syncing your apps, you will see (in the app sync pane) a visual representative of your phone, all pages, and that includes the folders. You will not lose any of them.
Like ChrisJ4203 says, you need to be syncing to the same iTunes library as your Apple ID on your phone, and that iTunes library must be authorized by you.
