Why can't I update apps directly on my iPad?

If your iPad is 3G then I think Johnathan has answered the question - if the downloads were larger than 20MB. If the downloads were smaller than 20MB you can try restarting or resetting your iPad and see if that helps.
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.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • HT4972 why can't i update the software on my ipad model MB292LL?

    Why can't I update the software for my IPad model MB292LL? The ios is 5.1.1 and I have seen newer ios versions come out. Also, many apps aren't available for my Ipad because of the ios. Is this Apple's way of forcing you to buy a new IPad? If so, that *****!

    The 1st generation iPad can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1

  • Why can't I update apps on my iPhone 5 ?

    I hate this phone wish I never got it nothing but trouble was happy with the IPhone 3 worked just fine always updated apps not like this piece of junk hate the phone hate hate !!!

    I have an iPhone5.  The App Store shows I have 4 updates.  I click on the App Store icon.  When I click on the Update icon, nothing happens, just a blank screen.  I can access Featured, Top Charts, Genius, & Search.  Any idea what the problem might be?

  • Why can't I update apps at the app store?

    I cannot connect to the iTunes store and update my apps.  I dont know why.  I have an ipod touch 5th gen and IOS 7.  Also two of my apps just disappeared from my home screen.  Dont know what is happening.

    Do you have automatic updates turned on? That is new for iOS 7. If yo d you may see that some apps need updates but that goes away after the automatic update  prcess finished. The iPod periodically checkds for updates and periodically updates apps.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why can't I update apps on my iPod touch 4G ios 6.1.6?

    Every time I try to update an app a window pops up telling me unable to download. I can't download a new app either.

    Look at the Requirements section for the app to determine if the update requires iOS 7 or later?

  • Why can't  I update apps?

    When i try updating I get the folowing message- "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the app store. please try again later(13)

    I have same problem. Same message when trying to update iphoto as required to obtain iCloud photostream. Also, when I go to purchased apps, it lists 3 --- imovie, iphoto and garage band -- and notes there is an update available for iphoto, but requires me to "accept" (sending hardware id) in the upper right corner. When I click on "accept," the screen sort of blinks and otherwise nothing happens.
    Am stuck.
    Is Apple getting more and more like Microsoft or what?

  • Why can't I update apps on my iMac

    I have notifications showing up for updates on Apps (Garage Band, iMovie & iPhoto) but when I try to update it says "You have updates available for other accounts. To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." Not sure how to update them...I am signed in under my Apple ID and all of my software is up to date.  Any help??

    Are they hidden by any chance?

    When updating my applications, the status is always "waiting". Please help me

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Why can't I update my iTunes or apps?

    Why can't I update my iTunes on my iPad....  Or any apps. Tells me "can't connect to iTunes"  even tho password is good?

    iTunes is built into ios and is only a link to the store to buy media, it is not like itunes on a pc and can not be updated outside of an IOS update.
    If you are receiving that error message it means itunes is experiencing server problems, your internet connection is experiencing problems or your firewall/antivirus junk is causing problems.

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

  • TS1702 Why can't I update any of my apps

    Why can't I update any of my apps on my IPhone 4s, a message comes up saying cannot connect to iTunes Store

    "Cannot Connect to iTunes store "  usually means your internet service provider doesn't allow itunes to load and they 've filtered it , try VPN and it'll surely works .

  • Why can't I update latest version of apps. Always request applied . Although I sign in using correct password

    Why can't I update latest version of apps. Always request applied. Although I sign in using correct password. But everytime prompted with incorrect password , retrieve password

    There are plenty of apps still compatible with iOS 4.2.1. Not a majority, necessarily, but they're still out there. If the app you want requires a newer version, find another app the accomplishes the same thing.
    Of course, it may be too late for that now, since you chose to hack/jailbreak your iPhone, and it is currently a brick. As varjak paw stated, this forum will not help you with your hacked phone.
