On my IPad I cannot update or install any Apps. Ive tried turning off my IPad. It did not help. The Apps are stuck saying Waiting....

On my IPad I cannot update or install any Apps. I've tried restarting and that did not help. The Apps are stuck, darkened and say Waiting.... Please help me figure this issue out.

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

IOS 6 on a 4s, I can't update or install any apps.

Since installing IOS 6 on a 4s, I can't update or install any apps. Touching the buttons to install causes nothing to happen. I now have 8 pending app updates that I can't do anything with. What's the solution?

Hi, I'm having a similar issue updating apps. My phone is currently stating there are 4 updates available, but when I open the App Store and go to the updates tab, nothing appears. Just a blank screen.
I have tried updating on different wifi networks, restoring the phone from a backup, signing out & in to the App Store again, but it still won't download updates. As it stands the only way I can update is via pc (I haven't tried this yet but sure it will work.....).
I have seen various posts on the forums with the same or similar problems, but ALL suggestions on these have failed as well.
Any ideas would've appreciated.

When downloading or updating or installing any app on my iPhone 4S I can't see the download indicator I just see it when it's done , I just ant see the progress anymore .

My problem is , I no longer see my download indicator while installing or updating or downloading any app. , it happened after I installed the ios6 but after a while from installing it.

Standard troubleshooting...
- Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
- If still a problem restore with your backup.
- If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
I think your next step is to restore with your backup. FWIW, I've not seen or heard of this issue.

Why won't the iTunes Store allow me to make purchases and view my account information?

Hello,
I'm having several issues with my iTunes store account and was wondering if someone could help me. This is basically what happened...
Problem #1 - iTunes store will not let me purchase music:
I signed into iTunes (i.e. entered my Apple ID and Password). I looked up some music and pressed "Buy." A pop-up appears and says, "Are you sure you want to buy and download "Song Name?" As a response, I press the "Buy" button. Then another pop-up appears and says, "Improve Apple ID security - To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose 3 security questions and answers" and it also requires my Apple ID and Password. I enter my Apple ID and Password and press the "Continue" button. Another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" (Note: I am already signed in at this point). So, I enter my Apple ID and Password again. However, the "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" appears again. I'm signed in, but the iTunes store apparently believes that I'm not. Why is this happening and how do I solve this?
Problem # 2 - iTunes store will not let me view my account information:
While signed in, I click the button at the top right corner of the iTunes store (i.e., the button with my Apple ID on it - [email protected]). Then I click "Account." A pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." So I enter my Apple ID and password and click the "Account Info" button (Note: I am already signed in at this point). Then another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." Once again, I enter my Apple ID and password, then press the "Account Info" button. Then, the same "Sign in to view account information" pop-up appears again.
Basicially, I can sign into my iTunes store account, but when I want to make purchases or view my account information, iTunes continuously asks me to sign in even when I am already signed in.
Also, it might be helpful to note the following:
- I want to change my account info because my old credit card expired and I now have a new one (and would like to change my payment info accordingly)
- Also, I changed my password in hopes that it would help solve these problems. However, this did not help in the least.
I hope someone can help me out because I do not want anyone else to access my account (and spend my money) due to its apparent malufunctioning. And thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
K.E.K.

I had similiar problems with my itunes account and after some searching found a response that helped me - perhaps it will help you also...
It has to do with the cookie settings in Safari (of all things!)
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3559322?start=0&tstart=0
I had the problem where when I started up itunes I was constantly prompted for my password regarding something about "automatic downloads". No matter how many times I typed it in, the prompt would just keep re-appearing (I tried about 8-10 times).
When I tried to resolve the issue (based on another thread) by viewing my itunes account (in the top left drop down window where your user name is), I was getting odd messages about "make sure the date is correct", and itunes would not let me view my account.
By turning OFF the option to block ALL cookies in Safari, the problem(s) have gone away.
Open Safari - go to prefs - click on Privacy tab - make sure "block cookies" is set to "from third parties..."
Good luck.

Why doesn't the apple store give the same 3 year guarantee that John Lewis gives

Hello!
It would appear that John Lewis are also selling the new macbook pros for the same price as the apple store, but with a 3 year guarntee (presumably you would also get the 1 year warranty provided by Apple too), why does the Apple Store not also give a 3 year guarntee?
Kind regards

AppleCare IS an extended warranty.

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

Why doesn't the iTunes store accept my charge card number?

iTunes store will not accept charge card number.

The number itself may be fine, check all of the other details that you've entered match those on your statement.

Why doesn't the Crop tool allow me to reverse the mouse axis?

Dearest Adobe,
When using the crop tool every axis is backwards! I know I'm supposed to move the photo, not the crop window, But for me this is not a matter of "correct" or "best practice", some people's brains do not work this way. I have been using lightroom for more than a year, and it still feels absolutely wrong every time. Please please please, I beg you, provide a reverse mouse axis checkbox.
I love Lightroom so much. Please help me...
With love,
Cody

The brain is incredibly flexible. But some people are left handed, some people are right handed. Some people have different dominant eyes, legs, arms.. etc. Part of learning a process is how it has been performed in the past, but another large part is the fastest and most reliable synapse. If a process "just feels wrong" that means my brain has already been trained or was wired a certain way to begin with.
The point of design is to create an intuitive interface that not only doesn't interfere, but enhances use of the interface. If I have to re-train my brain to work the way the tool wants me to think, then it is not as successful as it could be!
If you google: "Lightroom crop tool backwards" there are quite a few results with many people asking the same question.
All it needs is a preference item that reversed x and y direction for the crop tool and said: Crop Tool: Reposition the crop window/Reposition the photograph [x] [ ]
I know I'm not the only one!

Why doesn't the itunes store give original album dates anymore?

Didn't itunes use to list the original album release date alongside the album?

I think iTunes has always listed the year of release of whatever version they are selling. Many of them are releases, remastered, etc.

Why doesn't the read it later installer on your site install? It just hangs up. I have talked to read it now and they say the installer is yours.

I am using FF 4.01 and Win 7. The add-on downloads just fine and starts to install, but the progress bar only has a small green sliver of progress and never progresses. I have let it run about 4 hours and nothing happens.
I used to love Firefox, but am finding myself less satisfied with each upgrade. It has reached the point of being so buggy that I am considering going back to IE

Why doesn't the App Store prompt for older versions on first download?

I thought Apple user interfaces were supposed to be slick. Here's what I have to do to install an app. I've inherited a first generation iPad from a friend. The iPad was fully erased and set back to factory defaults before I got it. I have created my Apple ID and started customising the machine to suit me. The machine is running the very latest version of IOS it is capable of supporting 5.1.1. So I gaily visit the app store and start trying to install a few apps I like. Of course today 90% of the apps in the store are designed for IOS 6 or later and simply refuse to install at all. So here is the rather less than slick workaround I have to do.
First I have to put the iPad away and go to my Windows 8.1 Desktop computer running iTunes. I log in using my Apple ID, visit the App Store, pick the apps I want and download a few that I'd like to my computer. I then switch back to using the iPad. Now I see the apps I've downloaded to the computer attempting to install themselves on the iPad. If I've downloaded more than one app. This fails for all the apps. I have to wait for all the apps to fail, then delete them from the iPad and then visit the App Store on the iPad and navigate to Purchased Apps section. Now I can see my apps waiting and can attempt to install them one at a time. If I do this then, each app attempts to install singly, fails, and then I am gracefully asked if I'd like to download an older version of the app. If I do that the download and install works - hooray! I then repeat this process for the remaining apps. Next time I need to install any apps I have to repeat the whole process. It's not what I'd call slick.
Why on earth doesn't the App Store simply prompt for an older version of the app when I first want to install it?
Why do I have to do the rigmarole of switching to my PC, downloading there, and then switching back to the iPad again just to force the "Would you like to download an older version of the App" prompt to appear?
I'm not impressed so far.

No one here can speak for Apple since we are all just users like you. Perhaps the answer is as simple as this. This feature just rolled out recently. Perhaps Apple thought it was important enough to make it available before they had built out the whole solution.
Just a thought.

App Store shows I an update but no app is listed

There is a notification that there are two updates in the App Store. When I open the App Store to see what updates are pending no apps are listed.

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
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
