Why is my iphone 4 slow when updating apps

Does anyone know why it takes days to update some of my apps?

What connection are you using to update the apss? e.g. 3G/4G/LTE/WiFi
If you have a very slow connection that could be the cause of the issue but then again it shouldnt take a couple of days to update an app.

  • ITunes is very slow when updating apps

    Since a few days iTunes is very slow when updating apps and downloading updates for iPad etc.
    Very often a download is ended with the message server reply time to long.
    I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes on an iMac mid-2010 with latest OS. I have some 3-4 GB out of 12 GB memory free and 70GB free out of 500 GB storage. I have measured my internet connection speed and it is very good 95-98 Mbit/sec.
    I can't see any obvious reason to why iTunes is so slow. Have anyone experienced this? Please help!

    Yes! I have the exact same issue. So I tried some things.
    I am on Uvese (via wifi) and was trying to update the apps on my PC via itunes. Taking FOREVER. So i tired it directly from my iPhone 6 via wifi - same issue. Then I turned off wifi on the iPhone and updated over (ATT) LTE. That worked great. I am thinking it is a Uverse/ATT issue at this point.

  • Itouch freezes when updating apps

    Why does my itouch freeze up when updating apps? How do I fix this?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings.iTunes and App store and sign out and sing back in
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?
    Everytime I go to update my apps some other persons email or AppleID comes up and I have to cancel.  its annoying enough to have to update all the time but now I have about100 update notifications (don't judge, you probably have a ton of apps too..haha) that are sitting idol, what's up how do I fix?
    thx
    Jackie
    p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

    I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
    The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011,  I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update.  This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet.  Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
    Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content.  Each time I would see mine and enter my password.

  • HT4623 Why does my i4s, ios6.1.1 hang up when updating apps?

    Why does my iPhone 4S hang up when updating apps from the update screen?

    I'm going to guess you have the original iPad, which means iOS7 isn't available for your device. 5.1.1 is the last update applied to the original iPad.

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

  • Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

    Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

    Try this.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why is the finder so slow to update?

    Why is my finder so slow to update. For example, if I download a file (using Safari), I can't find it on the desktop. If I use Find at the Finder level, it says it's there, but I can't see it.
    Same thing happens with Mail, trying to attach a PDF I just made. Mail can't see it.
    I love all the wondrous glitz of OSX, but wouldn't it be nice if it could do the basic stuff as well as System 6? At the rate Apple's going, we'll probably get a breathless announcement about a spanking-new OS called Snail, which doesn't do anything but look pretty.

    Stu,
    Did you ever get an answer to this? My finder is pathetically slow to update, a minor irritation a dozen times a day. System 9 never had this problem. Is there a way to get my expensive computer to do this simple task? Is there any news on this?
    thanks,

  • Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

    Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

    Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library.  For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

  • Why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

    why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

    The iPad 2 is not as powerful as more modern iPads.
    Backround updates (iCloud, App Downloads and updates - it can take a while after iPad was updated for these to stop.) , will slow things alot. The screen effects can be turned off, speed up things.
    Here are two links with tips on speeding things up

  • My iphone 4 will not update apps.   In trying to do so, it goes directly to the app instead of updating.  I have read prior comments and answers, and have tried suggested solutions to no avail.  Why is apple support not addressing this issue?

    Muy iphone 4 will not update apps.  In trying to do so, it goes directly to the app.  I have read pages and pages on this same issue in Apple support communities, and have tried the suggested solutions to no avail.  Why is Apple support not addressing this issue?

    I believe this issue was addressed in a software update. If your signature is accurate, you are about five updates behind

  • Only when updating apps, my user ID is wrong  for iphone 4   How do I change it?

    ONLY when updating apps on my iphone 4 is the user ID incorrect; all other areas list the correct user ID.  I have tried several things, but can't get it to let me change the user ID.  Help!

    You must have purchased these apps under another ID. The only resolution, if you don't know the password to that ID, is to delete and re-download/purchase the apps. They are forever tied to the original ID and cannot be transferred.

  • Why do the Iphone sounds mute when voice recording?

    Why do the Iphone sounds mute when voice recording?

    Thanks for the response!  I use Display Record with various sound/video themes and would like to include them in my presentations.  For what it's worth, I will make a suggestion to Apple, to make the muting of sounds, during recording a user preference/setting.

  • Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

    Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

    Deborah,
    The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
    I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
    (1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
    (2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
    (3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
    (4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
    (5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
    (6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
    (7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings .  this wipes settings but not data and media.
    This is really frustrating.
