Why is the update all button missing?

Self explanatory.

@PogoPossom: Thanks for your efforts in answering this question. I faced the same mystery of the Update All button missing, even though I'm logged in. I tried powering down the iPad and restarting and that fixed the issue - now the Update All button appears. Is this a bug or a feature?

Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

I can't update my apps. I touch the "Update All" button; it asks me for my Apple ID password but after I enter it nothing happens. I tried to update apps one by one but same problem continues.

The app that does not want to update was it originally downlaoded with a different ID? If so use that ID and hte password you set for it to update the app

TS1702 I hit the "update all" button in the app store and things seemed to get started, but never completed. Now all those apps have a "waiting" msg under them. How do I correct this?

turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

Why does the 'change all' button for file extensions revert the program?

Hi Chaps,
I have a piece of analysis software produce a file with the extension .jdf and I need to open it with a particullar piece of software called Mestrenova to manipulate it. The problem is...jdf is also the extension of the Adobe acrobat job definition file. I can go into the file in snow lepord with 'get info' and change the individual files to default open with Mestrenova BUT as soon as I hit the 'change all' button, ALL .jdf files revert back to Acrobat defualt. It's infuriating and I have no idea how to resolve it without installing 3rd party software, which I'd rather not.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I still have this problem...

Why is the full screen button missing in iPhoto11 after Lion upgrade?

I upgraded to iPhoto11 with Snow Leopard with no problems. Loved the new look and full screen view. Now that i've installed LION iPhoto appears to have reverted back to the iPhoto 09 look. For example, the full screen tab is missing.... WTH???

I think the problem is that the full-screen button has been moved in the Lion apps. In Snow Leopard it used to be the bottom left, in Lion it is in the top right corner. Is it there in your case?

Why is the "Reset Firefox" button missing??

I have several FF preferences and add-on preferences that will not stay after a restart. I set them, but after I quite and restart FF, the old settings are back. I dutifully followed the mozilla support-site instructions and tried all options to fix the issue:
1) check for locked preferences--nope, not locked
2) User.js overides -- no such file
3) Reset Firefox to default -- not possible "reset" button is completely missing
I've used the reset several times, now, which was quite disheartening. But, it is very suspicious that I cannot find the reset button at all, now.
Someone seems to have asked this before, but the answer to just make a new profile was horrifying. Either this button is supposed to be there or it isn't. If it is supposed to be there, then this is an extremely serious security problem. Something is wrong and I must find out what. Why is this happening?

You only see the reset button on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page if you use the profile that is marked as Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.<br />
If you do not have the "Reset" button then either use the Profile Manager to create a new profile or use the Profile Manager to start with the current default profile to get the reset button in Firefox.

Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

Why is the Share Screen button missing? Anybody? Anybody?

I have a MacBook Air OS X.5.5, MacMini OS X.4.11, and an older PowerPC OS X.4.11 all connected to a local network (the older PowerPC ethernet - other two wireless). I've setup Tiger on both the Mini and the PowerPC to allow Apple Remote Desktop and setup the Access Privileges on both . . . "allow user to do" everything.
Using Leopard on the Macbook Air, I have a "Share Screen" button for the Mini, but I have no "Share Screen" button for the PowerPC. I've tried everything I can think of . . . nothing seems to work to make the button appear . . . Any ideas? Anybody?

Hi Janet,
Make sure that the File Sharing access is ticked on in Sys Pref/sharing & and that the Screen Sharing access is ticked on in Sys Pref/sharing. (This is only applicable in SysPref OXS10.5)
In Tiger - make sure that in Sys Pref/Sharing/Services/Personal File Sharing is ticked on.
Did you try ticking the 'Guests may request permission to control screen' in access privileges - that may jog it?? I just connected to my laptop on 10.4 in this manner allowing permission at the laptop end, by doing so I knew the connection was available.
Short of that I'd install Leopard on all machines then screen sharing doesn't require the ARemoteDesktop to allow permission - it's replaced by a simple 'screen sharing' button.
You can also share screens via ichat under Leopard 10.5.
The other issue maybe how you have your network plugged - is your router that the PPC is plugged into the same unit that sends the WIFI signal? If there is two devices you may need to bridge the connection - as they are most likely sitting in separate IP strings. If you can plug the PPC into the same device (Airport Extreme?) then do that also. Good luck.

How can I fix the Mac App Store "Update All" button?

When I have multiple updates, the "Update All" button appears, but doesn't work. It's not greyed-out; if I click on it, it gets dark while I hold the mouse button down. But nothing happens. No error message; it just doesn't work.
I can manually update my apps one at a time; the "Update" buttons next to individual apps work.
I'm running 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro.
I've tried restarting, and repairing permissions, neither of which helped.

You need to update to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 to get the App store. If you're on an earlier version of Snow Leopard, just hit
 > Software Update
If you're on 10.5 Leopard, you'll need to contact Apple and purchase a Snow Leopard disk or a Lion USB Flash drive.

Application update that does not support my current ios version prevents me from using "update all" button

i do not want to update my ios version, but an update of the application, mint requires ios 5. that is fine, but now i can't use the "update all" button if multiple application updates are pending. doing that will result in an error about my ios version, but it only applies to mint. how do i get around this. it is tedious going into each application update manually and clicking "update".

how do i get around this.
You can't get around it, that is the way the system works. You cannot alter it. When you upgrade to iOS 5 the issue will disappear.

Why is the "Empty Trash" option missing? All I have is "Secure Empty Trash" which takes a considerable amount of time.

Buy All Button Missing from My Wishlist - Answer as to WHY!

Okay everyone that has been frustrated....or rather HALF of everyone, I finally got an answer from Apple (after being on hold on/off for just under an hour), as to WHY the Buy All button feature was removed from the My Wishlist when wanting to purchase ALL of your items in one purchase, as opposed to each item being purchased and charged separately to your payment account (i.e. debit/credit card, or checking/savings account).
The reason WHY is because the other half of everyone was frustrated that they were accidentally clicking on the "Buy All" button when it was in iTunes, and buying all of their Wishlist items when they in reality wanted to just buy a select few (be it one or many...but NOT all). So after listening to the complaints of the userbase and apparently my definition of half is in reality the majority, Apple removed the Buy All button.
So there you have it! I feel a sense of relief knowing why and the explanation of it. Now being a computer programmer myself, I'm sure there is some way Apple can design it so that it would prevent the user from accidentally buying all by providing another prompt or perhaps a checkbox option in some "Settings" environment where the user can toggle on/off this feature. Any those are my thoughts and that should be the "feedback" to Apple. Not just to put it back but put it back in this way so the entire user base can be satisified.
Thoughts?
P.S. - Apple assured me that if I were to buy the items separately (assuming done within the timeframe, my guess of a few minutes, assuming you don't have a million WishList items) that they still will show up on my credit card as one charge. I beg to differ and told them that I still got separate charges.
Hope that my reseach helps alleviate everyone's concerns.

Dear All,
Seems to me a total 'own goal'. I, like many, haven't the time to sit there and purchase each song individually and then there are all the other valid comments about fraudulent alerts etc.
Dear Apple. Kindly see sense and revert your systems. If that's deemed to be too negative, why not develop a best of both worlds solution. Provide a tick box against each entry in the wish list, with an option to multi populate/toggle. The purchaser than has the flexibility to buy individually, as a whole or pick and choose. Coding for this is not difficult. I am amazed that this universally used option (see all email platforms), was not adopted at concept let alone at the time of the rather ill thought out solution of taking down the 'buy all' option.
As it stands at the moment, you have lost my business. I can't believe that this decision hasn't affected your sales revenue. I maybe 1 small voice, but look at the amount of negative commentary going on about this issue. Please listen to your customer base.
While you are at it.... Can you reinstate the listen to all option through iTunes store, again I haven't the time to fiddle around looking for the best recording among the many. This includes wish list as it helps me to make my final decision whether to buy.

HT2204 Why is the app store not synced with icloud? Have so many logins and cannot login to one or the other sometimes. Wanted the latest updates to an app my friends already got and could not get the update all day long.

Why did you get rid of the buy all button?

Getting rid of the buy all button forces me to shop elsewhere!

This is not Apple here.
We are users. We don't get rid of anything.
