Can't install or update apps

iPhone running iOS 8.2. Can't install or update apps, buttons grayed out. Probably a Settings issue, because iPad working fine.

If the buttons are greyed out in the store then do you currently have an app age rating set on your phone in Settings > General > Restrictions (under the 'allowed content' heading) that is blocking them ?

Can't install or update apps through iTunes

Seems I can't install or update apps through iTunes. It keeps giving me error messages. I the only way I can get around this is updating through the App Store app on iPod touch. I think this problem started since updating to Lion.

What are the specific error messages?

Can't Install or update apps on iPod Touch 5g

Hi, i am having a very serious problem with my iPod. it is an iPod Touch 5th Generation, 32GB, blue. It is currently running iOS 8.2. The problem is, I can't install or update any apps. It just sits on the home screen grayed out and saying "Waiting...". It won't do anything else. I have already tried hard restarting it, along with signing out and back into the App Store. I have also tried deleting the apps and reinstalling, but it does the same thing.

Can't install or update apps on iphone 5 !!!

Hello,
i cant install or update application with my itunes account on iphone 5
everytime i search for an app i try to install it ...nothing happens same while trying to update apps ...
any help ?

Check the settings for your AppleID and AppStore. Go to Settings/iTunes and AppStore/AppleID and sign out.
Restart the phone and sign in with your Apple ID. After that your AppleID will be matching the country to which it is registered to. You can't buy or download from foreign AppStores, that's what the error is about.

Can't install and update apps

Hi,
I am not able to update existing apps on my phone & I'm not able to install new apps as well. What happens is that when I choose the update button, it will load for a few seconds (that rotating cirle thing) and then it will go back to the update button again. Initially there was an error message stating mzfairplay.nullResponse_message but it stopped appearing after a few more tries and I'm still not able to update. Anyone familiar with this error message? I have also tried downloading new apps but with the same result.
I have tried the below actions to resolve this but I'm still not able to update or install new apps:
1. Restart the phone
2. Signed out my Apple ID
3. Connected to iTunes
4. Updated to iOS 8.3
As of now, I'm still having this issue and I'm getting a little frustrated. The last thing I want to do is to reset the phone to its factory settings.

You don't have to reset your iPhone! It's an internal problem of Apple. All we can do is wait for them to fix it. Alternatively, here's the system status webpage so you can check how it goes: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Cheers!

TS1702 I can't install and update any application, even for the free app the system ask me to sign in to the billing payment. Even though that I did sign, it still declined. Any one could help, please

All Apple iTunes Store accounts must have a valid form of payment set up. Even for free apps and updates. The Payment Declined message comes from your card issuer or payment source; Apple is just a pass-through for the message. You need to find out why your issuer is declining your card.

I can see my iPhone5 in iTunes but I'm unable to install or updates apps - icons are greyed out. I can remove them however. My ipad works perfectly.

I can see my iPhone5 in iTunes. The only functions I can do on my apps is to Remove them. I cannot install new apps or update existing one's - the buttonew are unavailable for seleciton. This has only happened since I got a new laptop. My iPad works perfectly still.

Have you tried installing and updating apps from the iPhone itself?
If you have restrictions enabled go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure "Installing Apps" is on.

After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app

As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app. I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
Soft reset ipad
Hard reset ipad
logout of itune store and login
delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again. This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote. My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it. For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8.

You are not alone. Here's one thread
Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem.

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!

Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

HT1766 Recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off".

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
Any suggestions

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

No one can fix it but you. It is a problem with your phone or your Apple ID. Contact Apple Account Security Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support to resolve the problem with your Apple ID.
