Why won't my updates update?

It will say, for example, that I have four app updates available. I click update all, it downloads, processes file, and that's it. The app icon is still appearing showing update available. This happens from time to time, and I can download more than a dozen times before the update actually "takes" and is installed. Any ideas?

Try resetting ...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
You won't lose any data as a result of a reset.

Why won't my emails update between my devices?

why won't my emails update between my devices?

That's not the issue though. I have all that already set up. It's just for my hotmail account. I have another account that works fine. It's just annoying to have to see all the same stupid emails on every single device, and then in my hotmail account as well. Aren't they supposed to be syncing with one another?

Looks like you have a 3G not a 3Gs...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
iPhone 3G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

If you are having issues using OTA (over the air) to update...
Do the Update using iTunes on your Computer.

Why won't my apps update now that I have updated to iOS 7? The are stuck in "waiting." And how do I fix it?

I updated to the iOS 7 and now several apps, iBooks included, won't finish the update. I can't delete and re-download because they are stuck in "waiting." Also, I can't seem to reload apps sent to cloud back to my phone.
Storage isn't the issue because I have checked that. Or at least in the surface it doesn't appear to be. Any other trouble shooting ideas are appreciated.

I found that what worked to correct this issue on my iPhone 4S was to turn off automatic app updates. I went to Settings - iTunes & App Store - and under Automatic Downloads, switched Updates to off. My apps that were stuck in 'Waiting' immediately began downloading.
Although I would like to be able to use the automatic update feature, at least I found a fix to the 'waiting' issue for now.

Why won't my computer update ilife '11?

I have iLife '11, and it won't update.
in the past i had a similar problem with iWork, and i found the solution. I had moved iWork from its default folder and the updater couldn't find the apps.
so i think i did the same thing here.
after i put iwork back into a folder similarly named as the original root folder it was in, it updated just fine.
so what i need is someone to ever so kindly help me by telling me how the iLife apps should be placed in the folders in the application folders so the updater can find them you'd think it would just need to be in a folder labeled "iLife '11" but that obviously isn't working.
anyone with tips would be greatly appreciated, or if you could tell me how i should place and name my ilife apps in these folders, that would help loads too.
hoping i can solve this. its so annoying having lion on my macbook pro and not having all the updates :-(

Hey Chris,
All Apple Applications should be installed in Macintosh HD > Applications.
When you got your computer from Apple the following iLife programs were sitting in that location (no additional folders):
iPhoto.app
iMovie.app
iDVD.app
Garageband.app
iWeb.app
--NOTE: I add the ".app" extension to differentiate from other files that might show up on the computer if you were to search for "iphoto". .app is the application which is what must be in Macintosh HD > Applications.
Check in that folder and ensure those programs are sitting in there. If not, search the computer for them and drag them back.
If you still can't download your updates you may want to download them manually by program from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macosandsoftware.
Hope that helps.

Why won't my apps update?

I don't have wi-fi, but I thought that connecting to a computer via a usb cord, I'd still be able to get my apps to function and/or update, but they don't. I can't figure out what the difference between a wi-fi connection and a direct connection is that won't allow the transfer of information. Can anyone explain this to me?

You can get updates to Apps via iTunes on your computer. Start iTunes and click on "Apps" In the "Library" section on the left panel of the screen. There will be a notification of "Updates Available" at the bottom right of the screen. If you click on this you will see which App updates are available and select which to download. When you next connect your iPod these updates will be transferred to it.

Why won't my iPad update

My iPad won't update!!! The newest version and the one I'm trying to get is 7.1.2. The Install now button is there but when I click it it has me enter my passcode then I agree to terms of service (which I think are just stupid because no one reads it) and then it says it's verifying the update. Now it loads for like 30 seconds then stops and a thing pops up saying "software update itnot available at this time. Try again later."

Hello Animalman526,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're having issues with downloading the iOS 7.1.2 update over the air. Rather than doing this update OTA, please attempt to update your iPad through iTunes by following the article below:

Why won't the latest update Jan 14 install on my PC?

I have been using itunes for years and have never had any problems with it. I was advised by itunes today that a new update was available which I routinely tried to install. However the update failed with the message "Runtime Error" Program:C:\Program Files (x86) iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Unfortunately I have no idea what this means. I tried uninstalling Itunes and downloading it again from the apple website. It seemed to download OK! but when I tried to open it I received the same message as before.I am now stuck with hundreds of songs, TV & movies purchased from apple with no means of playing them on my PC. Any assistance would be appreciated. I am running Windows 7 and have an i5 processor and a 1gb Nvidia graphics card installed. Is it my PC or an issue with the latest version of itunes?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Why Won't The Latest Update for iCloud Install?

Hi.
Apple keeps trying to update iCloud, but even after updating iTunes, QuickTime, and my iPhone successfully, the iCloud update still won't install. It bombs out at the end in the "validating installation" step, and says there is something wrong with the installer file, and rolls back the attempted installation. This keeps happening with the automatic update, wither I let it run automatically or select the "download only" option and then run the update myself. And, this happens when I go to the iCloud website and download the latest version, to try to manually install that.
How can I get a good copy of the iCloud update package?
Thanks,
Calen

Hey calenfromalbuquerque,
I see that you’re having some issues with an attempted update to iCloud Control Panel for Windows. Since this is happening when you are attempting to update iCloud Control Panel through the automatic update process and when attempting to manually update the program, this issue could possibly stem from interference with security software on your computer. I have an article for you that addresses this issue and has some troubleshooting steps for you to try in order to resolve it:

Why won't my ipad update to 5.0

My ipad will not update to 5.0. I have an older (late 2008) macbook that has been updated to lion 10.7.3 and my itunes is up to date as well (10.5.3) but when I plug my ipad into the computer it tells me that my ipad is not "eligible" to be updated. I am not a computer "nerd" though I know my way around with a little help. I have made sure there is no USB ports taken except with the ipad, I have checked that I have no security software running (I have none) and I have attempted to follow the steps at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297. THis actually wouldn't let me because I supposedly don't input the correct password though I am the only admin on the computer and I tried everthing possible. I have about 10 apps on my ipad that won't update due to the non-5.0 format of my ipad. SO - any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Okay - I finally repaired my ipad/macbook...
This is what had to be done.
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help/ipad-iphone-isnt-eligible-for-the-requested-build/
Followed the instructions and BAM - It was upgraded in about 6 hours. Haha
Took forever to walk through the steps but really is on 5.1 now.
Thanks for all your help!!!
