Why is plus sign (+) infront of apps in App Store 4.0 & what does it mean?

does anybody know why some apps in the app store have a + sign infront of them and what it means?

Calling apps "HD" is up to the developer. The Plus symbol means the app is Universal- the app will run on iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch. Usually when a developer calls their app "HD" it will only run on iPad and the iPhone/iPod Touch version is an entirely different app.

Message received when I try to sign in to our wi-fi : " connection timeout". What does this mean and why can't I sign in to our wi-fi ?

NEed help signing in to our wi-fi. I receive message " connection timeout" . What Does this mean?

If the Wi-Fi diagnostics are okay then check your own Wi-Fi router to find out how many clients are connected. The number of clients may not matter but how much data Hogging is going on. If you have multiple computer Services accounts active Wi-Fi cannot handle that much. Examples would be two people playing World of Warcraft, Two people watching a Netflix movie or AppleTV movie, One person Downloading iTunes movies or music at the same time. That accounts for a lot of Wi-Fi usage.

New apps indicated in iTunes on mac - what does this mean?

I am using iTunes 10.7 on a Mac running 10.8.2 Mountain Lion and sync with my iPad 3 running iOS 6.0.1.
I have 770 apps of which about 500 are ON THE iPAD and another 270 are in the purchased but not on iPad section on the cloud I guess.
All apps are up-to-date.
BUT when I go to to iTunes on my Mac, when I look in the sidebar I see next to Apps a gray oval with the number 107 in it. Now I have a similar gray oval (there is a special name for this "gray oval"…) for other things, like Podcasts or TV Shows. I know the number in those gray ovals means "Unwatched" and it is correct-- any Podcasts which I have downloaded or TV Shows which I have that I HAVE NOT WATCHED are so indicated.
BUT what does the number mean for APPS?? Someone told me it may mean "APPS THAT NEED UPDATES" - but ALL my Apps on my iPad 3are up-to-date and this syncs regularly with my iPad---
So what in the world is this number 107 indicating and how to get rid of it or what action to take to respond to it?
Thanks for any comments.
Best regards,

Thanks for the feedback! From your reply I think I may understand this better: I have downloaded 700+ apps and deleted over 200 of them. I show 116 in my iTunes that "have an update available" - but I believe these are all apps that I deleted, so they have NOT been updated on my iPad as they are no longer on the iPad. (But iTunes keeps essentially all versions on my Mac it seems).
OK why not just hit "update" for the 116 apps? Because I have 2 that I downgraded intentionally - and don't want to take the chance that ZITE 1.3.3 or Bloomberg version 1.x are replaced by the (in my opinion) poor upgrades.
I will try to reinstall a few of the "deleted" apps, then see if they have upgrades. If so I will do that and then see if this syncs to iTunes and thereby reduces the number of upgrades-- well indeed I'll look for the specific apps I have re-installed and upgraded! Then I'll report back here.
Thanks again,
Steve--

If you had Firefox save your Yahoo password, first try deleting that here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"
The "signed out" message seems to be related to how Yahoo authenticates you. Some users have reported that disabling automatic proxy detection solves the problem, and it also resolves an issue of getting logged out every few minutes, if you have ever experienced that.
To make the change:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "Network" mini-tab, click the "Settings" button, then choose "No Proxy" and OK your way back out.
If your work connection requires you to use a proxy server, try the "Use system settings" option instead.
Does that help?

why do I have such a hard time when I connect to facebook games... firefox doesn't want to open the game the message is sending that their something with the apps..what does that mean?....what is plugin...what do I do for that?

The usual explanation is that it is a licensing issue. It's not Apple refusing to support an MS product (they support loads of others, like QuickLook for Office docs). MS won't let Apple have it. (The Linux-based solutions are third-party reverse engineered.)
That having been said, I've never had a problem plugging an NTFS drive and reading files from it. Why does it take you an hour?
I've never had a problem with a Mac-formatted USB thumb drive not writing either. It's possible that the hardware/software that Apple uses is more sensitive to cheaper thumb drives, but I'm guessing here.

What does it mean when a plus sign shows up before the number?

I have a question that is going to sound very strange to some.
I have had two incidents with my iphone where I went to pick it up and it started dialing a number--A number I didn't dial and a number that didn't dial me. This happened on two separate occasions. Both times, there is a plus sign before the number. It is a domestic number and I have never seen the plus sign on my phone except when this has happened.
Does anyone know what that plus sign indicates?

NEVERMIND! All you have to do is tap the upper right corner of the ipod on a hard durface and it worked!!!!!

Hard to say. What problem is causing you to need to force close apps? That may be a clue.

I tried to download the latest OSX Mountain Lion and got this notice - "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed. " What does this mean and why can't I download it?

I tried to download the latest OSX for my iMac - Mountain Lion.
This is the message that I received:
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
What does this mean?

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps.
