Cannot download App / Song

I just flew out to Gran Canaria on Monday and yesterday I tried updating my apps over the hotels wifi without success. It seems to download but as it gets to the end it stops and says that it cannot be downloaded at this time. Today now I just purchased a song and it also failed to download. Im from the UK and believe I´m still in the UK store as I´m still logged in with my iTunes account and its showing prices in Pounds Sterling.
Any ideas why it won´t let me download anything?

There are some issues being reported with the app store today ... Mainly not being able to see purchased apps - they seem to have disappeared from users screens. I can't say that this is what is wrong in your case .. Also another user in the UK stated that he had problems getting his password to be accepted but signed out and then signed in again and it worked.
Having said all of that, this is my boilerplate of things to try if you can't download or update apps.
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>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>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.

    I just updated to itunes 10.3 & iOS 6.1 and I cannot download a song to my library! I get the error "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
    I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years.  My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too?  Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELP

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

  • Cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update.  Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

    cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update.  Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

    Hi mike,
    Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
    Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
    I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
    Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
    Nathan

  • I cannot download apps it keeps saying my security code is invalid and it is not!!! I REALLY need help

    I cannot download apps it keeps saying my security code is invalid and it is not!!! I REALLY need help

    If the App Store doesn't recognize your password, you should try to log into iTunes on your PC and make sure your password still works.  If it doen't work there you may have been hacked and you will need to get in touch with Apple directly.

  • Cannot download apps or login to app store on ipad

    Hi everyone.
    I've moved my family over to family sharing instead of having everyone on my ID.
    All working OK except my sons ipad air.
    Cannot download apps (put in password and it just goes straight back to the 'get' button, no error message)
    Have tried:
    forcing ipad to shut down.
    Logging out of store.
    attempted to download app whilst logged out of store. Still same problem.
    Tried my ID to login or download. Same problem.
    Have checked family settings to make sure he can download apps without asking. All OK.
    Apps are age appropriate.
    Restrictions are set to allow apps to download
    time settings are on automatic
    Forgetting network and setting it up again.
    using phone as hotspot didn't work either
    Now a further problem:
    Logged out of iTunes and App store. Cannot log back in on his ipad. Works on his phone and my computer, so the password and username are 100% correct.
    Does anyone have anything else I can try?
    Thanks, Zelly

    I Am having The exact same issue.  I know my Apple ID is correct.  I can log in to anything from safari or on a computer, but cannot log in to the App Store. When I click on download, it asked for my password.  I typed it, and it asked again (no error message).  I typed it again.  It asked again.  I typed it again and then it asked if I wanted to use an existing I'd or a new one.  I clicked existing.  Typed in my email and password, clicked ok.  Then it asked me again... Existing or create a new one.  This happens every time now.
    steps I have tried:
    I tried to reset my password.  No good.
    I tried logging out from settings and logging back in there.  No good.  (In fact, in settings, it won't even let me TRY to login.  I click on the blank Apple ID box and it asks if I want to use an existing or create a new one.  I click existing and nothing happens.  No option to login at all.)
    I tried resetting all settings.  No good.
    I tried a full reset (all content and settings). No good.
    I tried resetting DNS.  No good.
    I Tried multiple different networks.  No good.
    if it matters, I do have a MDM device that is set up through my work's Active Directory.  But it worked fine a few days ago before upgrading to iOS 8.3.
    WHen I did the full reset, I was able to login to my work's configuration, but when it got to the set up Apple ID menu, I had to skip it because it still would not let me log in.
    aany ideas?

  • I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store

    I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store, even with ios 6. A message "This app is incompatible with this iphone" appeared. What should I do?

    Hi there joannelim5288!
    I have found an article that can help you to troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone. The article can be found here:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Specifically, the first three steps listed in the article, and outlined here below, might be the most helpful to you:
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Cannot download apps on my Iphone

    I cannot download apps or updates. My Iphone 4 says it cannot connect to Itunes. Help!

    Hi Vlokeefe,
    I'm sorry you are having some trouble connecting to the iTunes Store with your iPhone.
    The steps below should help you troubleshoot this:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular
    Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet. 
    Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • TS3274 Cannot download apps from the apps store. iOS 7.0.4.

    I recently upgraded to version iOS 7.0.4. For my ipad 4. Now I cannot download apps from the apps store. Any suggestions?

    The ipad is brand new. It downloaded the apps fine until I updated to the ios 7.0.4. two days ago. When I choose an app from the app store, I can select it and it appears to begin to download (it spins in circles). It does not prompt me for my Apple password. However, it generates a blank, undownloaded app on the ipad. It says waiting underneath the app. I hope that explains it better.
    I also reset the ipad and it prompted me to either cancel or purchase several items. I have small children and it appears they were trying to buy upgrades and boosts for games alreadly on the ipad. I have tried to download another game and this time it has prompt me for my password. The app has come onto the screen and it is stuck in the waiting phase of the download.
