After updating to latest iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 now the App Store is back to normal, this also applies to iOS 16.7.8 (i have an iPhone X too) app updates update at normal speed in all my devices. 😀. These updates include a modem update, maybe that fixed it.

Yes, rebooted the devices and the router. Thanks for that status link.

Hi, yes, as I mentioned in my original post I tried different wifi networks/routers. I also tried changing the DNS server manually to Google or Cloudflare servers. None of this fixes the issue. So it happens in all my 3 Apple devices with different routers/networks/DNS servers, that's why it...

Hi all, for the last few days the App Store Updates take ages to update (over 15min when normally it's within 2minutes). This happens in ALL my Apple devices (2 iPhones and one iPad Pro). It happens no matter if I connect to different wifi networks. I tried rebooting, forgetting the network...

Hi all, iPad Pro 12.9 M2 with iPadOS 17.1.2 here. Any way to disable or hide "Read Now", "Book Store" , "Audiobook Store" from the side pane? Also, whenever I start the Books App it opens in the "Read Now" section. Is there a way to set the Books app to open in the "Library/All" section? Thanks

Thanks, I guessed so as I couldn't find any related iPad setting What setting enables always on in the iPhone 14 and 15?

Hi all, is it possible to set the lock screen to always on? I don't mean the regular iPad screen, I already have Display&Brightness/Auto-Lock set to "Never", but that setting does not seem to affect the Lock Screen which always turns off after a few seconds. Thanks

I'm used to the concept of a backup being that, all apps+data+settings, i.e., I was expecting an exact clone , but it seems Apple has its own rules leading to an incomplete backup. I never use iCoud, always like to keep my own local backups. What about passwords? I read that only when having...

I finally nailed it, the conflicting setting is Automatic Downloads/App Updates, as soon as I disabled it the notification badge started showing up.

I can confirm that the backup file from my Ipad Pro is not a full backup. I restored to another Ipad Pro from this backup and the restored Ipad does not include the ebooks in the Books App library. I wonder what is causing iTunes to not perform a full backup

Yes, it is possible that iTunes only made an incremental backup and not a full backup, but in order to prevent this possibility I deleted the previous backup within iTunes to start from a fresh state. There is no option as far as I could see within iTunes to opt for full vs incremental backup.

Hi Poet, glad to have contributed with a shortcut ;) In the screenshot you attached , what about when you click on "Notifications"? I have all Notifications enabled (Badges, etc), and the issue is that whenever Updates are present, the red number badge on the Icon is never displayed as I posted...

Hi all, thanks for your replies. Poet, yes I do know that backups are compressed, but never seen a 97% compression (49GB down to 1.8GB), so my fear is that data may be missing in the backup. Also, all the Ipad backups that I've done in the past with iTunes had a compression of about 30% ...

I don't have any iTunes Media content in my iPad

I performed an Itunes backup of my Ipad Pro to my local PC and the resulting backup size (1.8Gb) is way smaller than the Ipad Storage used as shown in the Ipad/Settings/Ipad Storage (49.6Gb). I tried again restarting the Ipad and PC from fresh without success, the backup size is always 1.8Gb...
