Why do Apps not update after installing iOS6?  They just hang there!

WHy do apps not update after installing iOS6?

Each time? every day? Just plain crazy! Updates happen automatically on your mac....why not the same thing on ipad/iphone?
If the app was purchased on my phone with my account, surely they do not need to "verify" my credentials each time. If my phone was stolen and someone purchased a $20 app surely my $300 phone is more important?
They need to come up with e better solution...when we all have hundred or thousands of apps on our devices what then?

  • Ipad mini apps not updating after ios8.2 update

    apps not updating after software update ios8.2 on ipaD MINI WITH RETINA SCREEN

    Turn off any auto-update, if it is on, then tap any of the "circle icons" showing that a download is in progress, in order to stop the download. Then go to the Settings and reset the Network Settings. After the iPad starts back up, then check to make sure no apps are currently in progress of downloading. If any are, stop them again, and reset the network settings again. When it starts up again, none should be in the process of downloading. Then from that point forward, only download manually and never more than two at a time. If it is more than 100 MB, then do only one at a time. If any gets stuck at that point, then stop the download and reset the Network settings.
    That should take care of you for now. We'll see what another update brings ... IOS 8.2 (which might be the next one).

  • Pages, numbers, iPhoto, iMovie and keynote will not update after installing yosemite and yes I have the original disk

    How do I get pages, numbers, keynote, iPhoto and iMovie to update after installing OS X 10.10? I have the original disk.

    Cancel the updates. Delete the apps. Redownload them from the Purchases tab in the App Store.

  • TS1702 Apps will not download on my iPad they just sit there in waiting mode.  Help

    Apps will not down load on my iPad,just sit there in waiting mode. This includes updates.

    Your iPad can only update one app at a time.
    Two solutions come to mind.  The first may work; the second should certainly work:
    1.  Try clicking on each of the updating apps to get it to the "Paused" state.  Then, one at a time, click on an app which should resume its download, then let it install and complete.  Then go the next app and repeat.
    2.  Reset your iPad.  Hold the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then, once the iPad is reset, start the process to get one app at a time downloaded and installed.

  • Apps not opening after installing iOS4

    Hi,
    I installed the new software update on my iPhone 3G. Now all the downloaded apps won't open.

    I don't understand what's going on with the apps on my iPod touch when I try to open them they close afet a few seconds never actually getting to the app. This happened only after installing the new software. This happened with all my aps even after I uninstalled and reinstalled them they still would not work. If someone could please figure out what's wrong that would be great as of now I have never been more frustrated with apple and iPods. This iPod is a few months old and I only got it because my other nano I had mysteriously stopped working!!!! Not to mention my iTunes won't work and has had an error code pop up evrytime I try something!

    I finally broke down and purchased iLife 09 primarily to update iphoto. after install it did not update.
    any help for me out there?
    Any more information for us out there? Any error messages, strange things,etc, etc, etc. Telling someone that it did not work is not much to go on
    I guess one answer is to do it again correctly - but then that would be about as useful as your question was

  • Apps Not updating after iOS 5 update

    I recently updated my verizon iPhone 4 to iOS 5. I tried to update 20 apps and they wouldn't update! They would all just say "waiting..." None of them wouldnt load. I discovered that they would load on 3G but they won't load over wifi.  I'm starting to regret updating to iOS 5 so soon because it is still very glitchy. Does anybody know why the apps won't update?

    Not my issue. Many apps do update fine. 5 pesky ones are being difficult and refuse to update. Tried on various wifi networks with same result. Other applications do update. All the latest as far as iOS is concerned although sadly I am still using an iPad 2.
    What is the same is only that a number of my applications in the App Store fail to update on my iPad 2.

  • IOs apps not updating after changing country

    Hi all,
    This has been an issue for a while that I have ignored but can no longer.  I originally began using an iPhone and iPod touch several years ago in the US.  3 years ago I moved to Canada, and since then have noticed that apps purchased while I had a USA iTunes account will not longer update unless they are on my device (ie, no updates offered thorugh iTunes).  Once moving to Canada and switching financial info from USA to Canada, and subsequently changing the country of my iTunes store (as I was forced to for via the required credit card for an iTunes account) the original USA apps will not update.  I realize this is going to be an even bigger problems on moving back to the USA here in a few months as all my Canadian apps will no longer update.  What is the solution.  All apps have been purchased under the same iTunes account, the only thing that has changed is the country of the iTunes store (all apps are available in both countries also so that is not the cause).
    Thank you

  • Why will iTunes not start after installing latest updates on a windows computer?

    I got the usual notification that an update for iTunes on a windows 7 computer was available and told it to install
    It went through the motions and seemed to install,. but when I tried to open iTunes on completion I got the message below.
    I subsequently removed iTunes and reinstalled after manually removing various iTunes folders, then reinstalled iTunes with the same result of the error message so I removed iTunes again and installed an older version of iTunes which worked fine until yesterday I was notified of an update for the iCloud, which I installed and am back at square one with the same error message.
    I have tried to send an e-mail to Apple but they make it virtually impossible, so I would appreciate any advice anyone can give. I cannot be bothered with all this mucking avbout every time there is an upgrade
    Thanks, Mactoshb

    Hi, I carried out the advice and after reloading, Itunes is starting OK but I could not delete most of the files and folders mentione,d constantly getting the message that they were open in some unspecified program and to close it to continue, problem was I had no idea what the program was that they were open in.
    However I have Ashampoo uninstaller installed and it identified various programs associated with Apple and after uninstalling them I reinstalled iTunes and it is working fine now.
    Question, am I going to get this cobblers every time Apple offer an upgrade?????
    Anyway thanks for your help and hopefully this posting will help others, as I doubt I am unique and others will have the same problem, Time perhaps Apple sorted it out

  • Apps not updating after upgrading to iOS 6

    After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6, I am unable to update any apps. The App Store says they are downloading, but nothing happens, all the apps say "waiting" underneath them. This has been over four hours now. Anyone have any ideas?

    Sadly 3 AppleCare phone calls and a Genius Bar appointment have not helped.
    The only possible advice I have been given- and have NOT done yet is a complete restore and set up phone as new.
    I am a bit peeved as I do not want to loose settings, saved games, saved docs, bookmarks etc. that are not cloud based.  My phone is well backed up, but there is no way to selectively restore that content.
    The Apple Genius basically said I am screwed and try to set it up as a new phone.
    Not exactly a glowing endorsement of the new iOS.

  • TS1702 Instagram app upgrade frozen after installing iOS6:

    Upgraded iPhone 4S to iOS6. Then got an app-store alter that Instagram needed to be updated. Started the update...but the instagram icon is now frozen in "Waiting" status. I am not able to delete Instagram either. How do I fix this.
    Same problem with the youtube app as well

    A couple of suggestions -
    1. Try the update again and during the process do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]
    2. Try updating on your computer (if you sync to one) and then do a sync.

  • Firefox will not update after installing new version

    I have repeatedly updated Firefox (both by updating and by uninstalling completely and re-installing a fresh copy of the latest version) and when I go to HELP > ABOUT FIREFOX it shows I have version 6.0.2
    BUT
    SEVERAL sites (including Mozilla.com) give me pop-up notices saying I am using an outdated version of Firefox and need to upgrade. Firefox on this PC even looks and acts different than it does, for example on my other Windows 7 PC (which also has v 6.0.2)
    HOW can I get Firefox to actually fully update itself and not only report that it's the latest version (I see that in the config it's reporting v 3.0.11) but to act like the latest version?
    Like I said, I have tried uninstalling it completely and installing a fresh copy downloaded from Mozilla.com.

  • CS4 Apps not launching after install

    Hi,
    I have an imac running OSX 10.5.6, with CS2 installed on it. This morning I received my CS4 upgrade discs. The installation ran without a problem. I opened CS4 Photoshop with no problem, then I opened CS4 Acrobat...a window popped up asking for a serial number (odd I thought) so I put in my CS4 serial number, but it didn't work. I decided to restart the machine. After restart none of the apps would launch, they appear in the doc for a few seconds and then close up. Acrobat will launch briefly, but it asks for my computer password, after that it says I need to launch another CS 4 app bc it is part of a suite and acrobat closes. CS4 Bridge is the only app that will launch and stay opened. So with the exception of Bridge and Acrobat (which doesn't really open in the end) all the other apps just appear on the doc for a few secs and then close.
    I was on and off the phone with tech support for about 6 hours, installing, uninstalling (CS2 and 4 using maccs3clean) making new user logins, using safe boot, more uninstalling and reinstalling. Then they tell me they are out of ideas and will need to do research and since it's Friday, I won't hear from them again until Monday. Obviously this is a bit aggravating.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I'd almost say the discs were duds, but after that first installation I was at least able to open PS without a hitch, but the trouble seemed to start when I opened acrobat, and it asked for a serial number.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dov,
    Thanks for chiming in. After several hours of phone time with  tech support, they had no answers and said that would have to get back to me Monday. But I’ve found the solution on a forum and it literally took me less than a minute to do. I removed the "FLEXnet Publisher" folder from the Preferences folder that’s within the Library folder. All CS4 apps opened right up without a problem.
