Some of the applications on my iPad cannot be updated because the iPad cannot connect to App Store

I don't understand why the applications I have on my iPad don't get updated. Every time I choose Update All, there appears a message saying CANNOT CONNECT TO APP STORE. Is there any problem between my iPad and the App Store or is there any problem with the App Store itself?
Best regards
William

Hi Just go to ITunes Sign out then Sign back in. This may help. Also you need to update software to ios 8.1 Cheers Brian

We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation.

IPod cannot be updated because the file cannot be found

Just purchased a new 5th gen. 30gb iPod, and when plugged into my laptop & iTunes, I get the error message that "so and so's iPod cannot be updated - the file cannot be found." Then the iPod drops out of itunes, but stays in My Computer. Any way to fix this?

I just dealt with the same problem. None of the answers people gave to the problem worked!
Whatever it is that you're trying to put into your iPod... make sure that the file is located in your "My Music" file first.
Basically, when you get that message double check and if what you selected isn't in "My Music" drag and drop into it and try again.
I hope that helped!
I know... so frustrating.

I just experienced the unstable Traditional Chinese typing issue after updating OS X 10.8.2 thru App store.

I was typing traditional Chinese with the build-in IME but it's not stable, upto 5 Chinese words I need to "enter", otherwise I will lose what I just typed.
Besides, App Store and iTune were not stable tonight.
Any advise?
Brian

You may want to ask in the Chinese Mac group as well. Be sure to say exactly what IM you are using (there are several for TC and there is no point in making people guess), and whether your problem affects all of them or just one of them.

Ipod cannot be updated because the disk cannot be read from or written to.

This error message comes up everytime I try to upload photos onto my ipod. I selected the folder to sync the photos from and I do not know why it will not upload. Does anyone know what to do?

Alexander,
I did what you suggested. In fact, this is what I did:
In iTunes I changed the root folder the photos sync from by going iTunes > Preferences > Photos > Synchronize photos from : and chose the Pictures folder instead of the iPhoto option.
After iTunes "optimized" the photos and copied them to the iPod I got an error message saying that some images would not be copied because they could not be displayed by my iPod. I glanced quickly through the photos on the iPod and found that most of my library copied over. Of course, I lost all the album information. I suppose I could make an iPod album in iPhoto and use it as the root folder for sync-ing. That's a better fix, at least, than not being able to move photos at all. Thanks for the tip.

Software could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt

I just received my iPad yesterday and I saw there was a new update to the OS(from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2). I tried to install it and after downloading the 450 MB file it gave me the error "The iPod "ipod name" Could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt", so I tried it again and again got hte same error; so I tried researching and saw several possible solutions, including re-installing iTunes, so I decided to try it on a different machine, same error. I don't want to keep downloading huge files, so I'm wondering if anyone knows some possible solutions? I've tried this on both a Windows XP and Windows 7 machine.

Hi, I had the same problem: firmware was corrupted on the update. I managed to fix it by logging in to my administrator account and leting iTunes do a reset. I have no media or apps on that iTunes account so it was relatively straight forward. Once reset and update was complete I logged back into my user account and let my usual iTunes account reinstal all my media and apps.
Be sure to backup your iPad before doing a reset.
This may help; you may also like to contact iPad Support for assistance.

HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
Select the Services shortcut. In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services. Doubleclick them to get the property page. Change startup to automatic, click apply. Then click start,
There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services. so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem. I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed. You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending. In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed. It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you may not need or want.
It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
Best wishes, Ct

This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64-bit version of iTunes

I have seen others post this same question but the answers provided does not resolve my problem. My iPad Air is running iOS 7.1.2. I have been using this same computer for three years. It has Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1, 64-bit Operating System, Intel 3.4GHZ computer and 16.0 GB . I used this same computer with my iPad2 for several years. I purchased an iPad Air a year ago. I never had a problem with either iPad using iTunes. About a week ago, my computer would no longer recognize the iPad Air. I thought it must be a driver problem or iTunes somehow became corrupted. I uninstalled all of the Apple products except for iCloud and deleted any Apple software left in my Program Files and Program Files (x86). I then downloaded from Apple, iTunes64Setup.exe which is a 110,833 KB program. I installed the program without a problem. It installed Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support and iTunes. These programs I had previously uninstalled. I then brought up iTunes. I now plugged in my iPad Air and a popup message appeared "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64-bit version of iTunes". OK, I did as instructed. I used the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then ran iTunes64Setup.exe. I brought up iTunes and got the same message. "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is nt installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64-bit version of iTunes" In general, I have found the Apple software to be robust and reliable. This situation however is very disappointing. I am hoping that someone has an answer that I can use to resolve my problem.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.
