Won't update. Stuck

I updated my iPad and now the apps will not update. It says cannot update or download now...cancel or retry. I have sign out turned it completely off, signed in and tried. I have not done a hard reset in the pin hole in the back as yet. I see others are having the same issue. Can you help me?

Thank you. I tried everything. Ended up deleteing all updates and am now in the process of reinstalling all. Takes a lot of time unless I am doing it wrong. Any short cuts. They don;t seem to transfering directly to the ipad so I am retrieving all apps and entering individually. But...it did make me clean all the unused apps off both. Glad it will be up and running by morning, I hope.
Thank you for your help

My apps won't update, stuck on waiting.

My apps won't update, they have that grey bar on them. Every time I try to update them it says , unable to load. Please help?!?

If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page or via extensions.

Hi. My device won't update iOS in settings. It won't download any new apps for me. (It is connected to the internet). The latest app I tried to download appears stuck! Has not completed its download, won't open and I cannot delete it. What can I do? I purchased the product online a year ago. I'm not sure of the exact date... I think it was late November 2012.
Any help appreciated.

If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

Older MacBook Pro (10.7.5) won't update any software

Here's everything that's been stuck in Software Update for a while:
iPhoto Update - 9.4.3
Java for OS X 2013-004 - 1.0
iMovie Update - 9.0.9
Digital Camera RAW Compatability Update - 4.07
Security Update 2013-002 - 1.0
Airport Utility - 6.3
Safari - 6.0.5
iTunes - 11.0.4
If I try to update, all or individually, it'll proceed as normal, sometimes even ask for the restart, but even if it gets to the end of the cycle, a warning message pops up saying none of the items can be installed.
Now, when I say it won't update anything, I mean "anything." I'm running Lion (10.7.5), but Lion disappeared from my list of purchases in the Mac App Store, which I did purchase even though it says I didn't. I've tried rebooting to reinstall it that way because it still shows Lion there, and I even called Tech Support, but they couldn't figure out why it disappeared. I just recently came to the conclusion that nothing updating and Lion not being able to be reinstalled, are likely related.
Anyone have any idea why it won't do any software updates?
P.S. - My model (Titanium) cannot support Mountain Lion.

Ok then, we can rule out the "not enough space" scenario. Try repairing permissions and restarting your computer afterwards. If that does not work, set up a new account and try using Software Update. If that work, we can then rule out system wide problem.

Firefox won't update

Firefox seems to be stuck and won't update. Under the Help menu, it lists "resume downloading Firefox 3.6.3" but when I click on that option, it never resumes the download. (I don't recall pausing downloading in the first place?) Firefox never connects with the update server. As a result of not updating, Firefox is crashing and won't work properly. I restarted and had to force Firefox closed at least 4 times today.

Java Console and Microsoft.net Framework Assistant add-ons are not much needed.

Exchange unread count won't update for mailbox with 1000+ unread messages

Hi - I'm having an issue with mail on the iPhone and iPad where my Exchange inbox won't update after downloading a 1000+ new messages on Saturday. I marked them as read and moved them to another mailbox on my Mac but they're stuck in the inbox on my iPhone even after restarting phone and deleting account and re-adding it. I am able to download new messages and they are updated properly.

Things updated after I switched from check manually to check every 15 minutes. Weird.

App won't update or load. How to fix without data loss?

My favorite game, Infinity Blade, won't update. It started to update but the progress bar (that shows on top of the icon) never advanced (remained fully black inside). That happened probably at least a year ago and has stayed like that. When I updated to iOS 6 it stayed like that. I synced my phone to my Mac but that didn't fix it either.
I would just delete the game then re-download, but I read that if I do that, I'll lose my saved games, because they're stored inside the app itself.
So the question is: how can I fix this without losing my saved game?
Further WHY does it store data INSIDE the app? That seems like the worst idea ever.

Marc Wilson wrote:
Do you REALLY think people want to listen to idiots whine about the disconnected data that's splattered around on the phone if your model was adopted? There are already enough cluebies who can't be bothered to understand "Other".
(1.) This thread is not about what "people want to listen to..."
(2.) If you know anything about data, it does not "splatter".
(3.) It's not "my model," it's the Macintosh way.
Look man. If you don't like the Mac then you shouldn't even be here.
It's quite simply put ridiculous for saved games to get deleted when the game itself gets deleted, without the user having any choice in the matter! Likewise if I wrote a future bestseller then deleted Pages because I wanted to switch to a competing word processor, and by deleting Pages it deleted my bestseller, I'd be royally ticked off, and rightfully so!
My data and documents are MINE, not Apple's, not the app's. I should have the option, if I so choose, to decide roughly where to keep my own files, and also to decide when and if they get deleted, regardless of what apps I choose to have on my device at any given time.
I find it to be an invasion of my privacy and an invasion of my intellectual property to have my saved data, which I created, deleted by the OS, ever, just because I want to delete the application that created those files. I believe that many files should adhere to standard file formats, such as audio files, text files, contacts, JPGs, etc. It should not matter which app created them, as to where they are stored. The system is quite capable of creating a hard-link to the file and storing THAT inside the application's sandboxed directory if it really wants to have a file path to the iNode. Time Machine already does this on the Mac. They could easily do it with iOS.
But then, we both know there is no technical reason why they want to hide our documents from us and force us to delete them when we remove an app. There is no technical reason why we must be forced to go through the kludge-fest that is iTunes File Sharing in order to even access our documents. Ever hear of the FINDER? Go back 15 years and read reviews in Macworld. Any device that didn't give Finder-level access to the files on it was deemed as being "non-Mac-like." Guess what? The iOS is non-Mac-like in many bad ways.
I'm all for the iOS-ization of the Mac when it comes to things like the gestures and notifications, etc. But ruining my Save and Save As? They went too far. They need to step back, and go add some Mac-like features back to the iOS. It's gotten too curmudgeonly and closed-in on itself. It's too proprietary, and too convolluted in some ways.
A game takes up a lot of gigs. By removing a game for awhile I could save a lot of memory. If I'm stuck in a pinch and I want to delete it, but then I realize my game's saved data is on my device with no way to get it out of there (because perhaps I'm up in the mountains with no 'cloud' access, as I often am), then it's stupid to have to delete the game's data along with the game. I should be able to delete just the game, but keep the saved data.
As for it being 'splattered' around, it would not be. What your'e describing is OS X's "Library" folder and how apps install crap into every corner of the universe. Trying to uninstall something like Pro Tools 10 or Adobe CS6 is like trying to remove blue from a Jackson Pollock. They need to have an easy way to remove apps on the Mac.
But 'splattered' does not describe the limited number of documents I'd likely have on my iPhone, with or without their supporting apps. It would be simple to have a view (like the Finder!) where you can see your documents and files. It could keep them organized for you, unless you really insist on organizing them yourself -- and even then, it could just let you work with links to the files, ala iPhoto, and keep its directory structure intact secretly. Is it really that "annoying" to you to be able to see and manage your own files, if you want to? Really? You're joking me right?
I'd be fine with it if they wanted to sandbox documents to where, in my documents folder, there'd be another folder where all my saved games for Infinity Blade are stored, and I can't move them around. But I should be able to create a backup copy of those and e-mail them to myself, if I feel like it.
If people can't handle it, then just make an option to "manage all my documents for me" and have it be the default setting (like it already is). Make people type "I am not an idiot and I know how to use a computer" to access this folder. Whatever. I don't care. But I'm really sick and tired of my iOS device being crippled in the name of some hypothetical idiot who might whine. Puh-leeze.

Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this
dell inspiron Windows XP

Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

Certain apps won't update or download on any device.

I've searched for two weeks to no avail. I've seen similar problems posted but nothing quite like this. I have an iPhone 5s iOS 8.2, a 4th Gen iPad iOS 8.2 and Mac Mini Late 2014 OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. It all started with wanted to download the Pages app. My iPad is old enough it wouldn't let me download it for free so I initiated the download on my iPhone and then promptly cancelled. I then tried to download Pages from "the cloud" onto my iPad. It downloaded 3/4 of the way and failed stated that the app could not be downloaded at this time with two options to continue: done and retry. And now there are a handful of apps that will fail somewhere in the download and some apps that are already installed on the devices that won't update. Any app that has previously failed WILL download over cellular network on the iPhone 5s. I've tried four separate location with WIFI access and these same apps will not download. I've cleared network statistics, restored the iPhone to factory defaults, changed Apple ID password, tried a different Apple ID, and trying to download apps on Mac Mini to sync to iPhone/iPad over tethered connection. The only partial fix I have discovered is to start download over cellular network and switch to WIFI download. Please... any ideas. I feel I may have left out some steps I might have taken so please feel free to ask any questions.

I had this problem and solved it by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Note: This will not delete any apps, songs, videos, or podcasts from your phone. It will only reset your wallpapers, brightness, bluetooth, contact sorting, network preferences (still remembers networks though), etc. It's a bit annoying to go update all these back to how yo like, but much less annoying than a full restore.
DO NOT press Erase All Content and Settings. This will delete everything and you'll have to restore from iTunes.

IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

HELP!
I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010. From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it. After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy. I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
        (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder. When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
        photos.
4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
5.     Programs won't update. They will download onto my iMac but won't update. Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
        Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns. Skype won't open just gives a failure
        report.
6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something. Or I have something malicious on my computer.
I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive. A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
Thanks so much.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

Please can anyone advise or help
Very much appreciated

If you are using the same apple id on other devices and each of the other devices are updating the same apps sucessfully then you have an issue going on with the device being what's known as being a bit 'glitchy' What I would suggest you do is first to shut down the device completely by simply pressing on the sleep wake button, (power button on the top) for a period of 5-6 seconds untill you get the message to slide bar to shut down. Once the device is shut down and the wheel has stopped spinning, you are then free to restart the device.
Once the device is restarted then please go to settings>itunes and app store Once at this area of settings you can then click on the apple id is showing there you then can click on the apple id going to where it reads sign out, Once you've signed out go right back to that same area and sign back in with the same apple id.
What this is doing is simply logging you out and then back in with the same device.
Good luck Friend.

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:
