3g phone - no wifi - update apps??

How can I update my apps on my iphone 3G without WIFI? My phone has lost all connection via wifi. I have tried all the tricks on these forums and I have given up to the fact that the phone is useless. But I would like to try and keep everything upto date for now.. any help?
cheers

Since all apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer, you can download app updates with iTunes on your computer followed by syncing your iPhone with iTunes to install the app updates on your iPhone.

  • Phone will not update apps

    I am having an issue with trying to update my apps on my phone.  When I try to update it, I put in my password then it notes that it is updating then it kicks me out and it will not accept my password.  I have reset my phone, change my password,and hooked my phone up to the computer to do any back-ups.  My phone has backup on to my computer so I know its not a space issue.  If anyone has any idea on how I can get my apps to update normlly it would be appreciate.
    Thank you!!

    Hello kthomps4,
    I have a few recommendations for you on this issue. First I recommend that you restart the iPhone
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    From iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430.
    If that does not quite fit the bill then I recommend Deleting the apps and downloading them again. If you would rather not do that, you can attempt the restore again if you choose. iTunes: Restoring iOS software http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.
    Take care,

  • When trying to update apps the phone tries to sign in under my wife's email address, how do I change it???

    After updating when I try to update apps, my wifes email show's up instead of mine.  How do I change it back to mine???

    Did you go to Settings/iTunes and AppStore/Apple ID and make sure that your Apple ID is listed?
    If not, sign out with the shown ID, restart the phone and sign in with your AppleID after that.

  • Somehow my wife has ended up with some of my apps on her iPhone, and I have some of her apps on my iPhone.  So, when I update apps on my phone, some of them ask me for her apple ID password. How do I get her apps off my phone.

    Do you guys use the same computer with itunes on it? And the best way to get them off is to go into the Setting>Itunes & App Store and sign out of her appleid if it's listed there. Also just delete all of the apps from her appleid off your phone.

  • I switched phones with my wife.  I went into "Settings" and "Store" to change the applid to mine but the phone still has my wife's applid when updating apps.  How do I get my phone to default to my applid?

    I SWITCHED PHONES WITH MY WIFE.   I WENT INTO SETTINGS AND STORE TO CHANGE THE APPLID BUT IT STILL USES MY WIFE'S APPLID WHEN UPDATING APPS.   HOW DO I GET THE APP STORE TO DEFAULT TO MY APPLID?

    Any apps that are on the iPhone which were bought / downloaded via your wife's account are tied to her account - so only her account can download updates to those apps. If you remove all her apps and just put yours on then you should be ok.

    I have an iPhone 6. I am signed in to iTunes with my Apple ID. I am updating apps and the phone keeps asking for my wife's Apple ID.

    How can I find which Apple ID was used to purchase each app? I am trying to find the answer but not having any luck. thanks!

  • HT1414 my problem is as follows, my wife  updated i phone my phone to ios,she received a fatal error message and had to delete all data to continue. how can i retrieve my apps,music , money and all my other photos and contacts?

    My wife updated my iphone with the ios,i thought i had all my email accs. together but i failed to sync everything properly,long story short in the process of the update she received an error and it was either stop,or lose all my data on my phone,she chose to cancel the data because we thought we could recover it! i would like to know how to get it back, the update said we had to change my password and there i think is the problem,is this data stored,and is my purchase history available?

    Restore the phone using the last backup you made.

  • My wife and I have separate email accounts and separate iTune accounts on my iMac.  Having Apple ID issues.  My wife's ID pops up when I try to update apps or purchase music

    I have a 4s, my wife has a 4.  I have an iMac and we both have our own email addresses and separate Apple IDs. Lately, whenever I try to update an app, my wife's Apple ID pops up and no matter what I try - new passwords, turning phone on&off, ect., nothing changes. I find this iCloud to be confusing and have not signed up for it, but it little popups keep referring to it.  I want my iRelated stuff to be mine and hers to be hers.  Help! Thank you

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are using this ID for app purchases or not.  If you are seeing your wife's Apple ID when you update apps, you must have one or more apps on your phone that were purchased with her ID.  The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID is to delete these apps from your phone and not transfer them back when you sync your phone with iTunes.

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

  • Updating Apps in iTunes from my Phone

    The Apps on my iPhone are updated. I sync the phone with a MacBook Air.
    I also want to sync the phone with my iMac.  on the iMac iTunes is showing apps that are available for update and wants to re-download these.  Why can I not sync the apps from my phone where they are already updated?

    Hopefully, you have found a solution.  I found this becasue we changed my wife's Apple Id.  I made the change via iTunes on her Mac Book Air.  I change it on her iPhone as well.  When apps needed to be updated her old Apple Id kept appearing. 
    Solution
    On her iPhone, I opened Settings and scrolled to and tapped  iTunes and Store.  Clicked Sign Out and then clicked Sign In.  I entered her new Apple Id and password. 
    Tapped the App store icon on her phone.  Five updates appeared.  I taped update all and they updated.
    Hope this is helpful

  • Just got new ipohone 4s and used my wife's appleid to sync some apps.  i now have my own appleid. i have logged in on my iphone but when i choose to update apps my wife's appleid is still there.

    This is happening because there must be one or more apps on your phone that were purchased using your wife's Apple ID.  Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID you are currently using in Settings>Store.  The only way to stop the prompt for your wife's ID would be to delete these apps from your phone.

  • My new iBook, wife's iPhone & old signin forgotten, can't update apps

    My old iBook's 2nd logic board died a few weeks after 3rd year. I put in all of wife's iPhone stuff. Old computer never asked me again. Forgot about it. Now cannot update old apps, Did backup most of them but iTunes won't update 'em. Can I get username/password or redo the phone? Most apps were free but still.... PS Was I buying music under my wife's username even though everything went to my mac.com account?

    David Bueker1,
    Sure, you should be able to reset the password here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    If you're unsure about the specific username used to purchase them and the apps are on the computer, you can select one of your wife's apps in iTunes and either control-click or right-click it and choose "Get Info". The purchasing account name should be listed there.
    If that is not possible, you can also try to retrieve the username at the site above too.
    Hope this helps,

  • New iPhone 6 asks for my girlfriends password to update apps, even though the phone is connected to my itunes account?

    My phone is hooked up to my iTunes account, but when i go to update apps, it asks for my girlfriends iTunes password? I only go the phone today, but havent had this trouble before with iPhone 4 or 5.
    Can anyone enlighten me as to whats going on? - Thanks

    If that's the case you may have to disable wifi syncing in her user account using her iTuens library.  I'm really not sure though.  If someone does, hopefully they'll jump in here.  The problem with chaning libraries is that when you do, iTunes will delete any iTunes media on the phone and replace it with the media in the iTunes library you sync with so hopefully this won't be necessary.

    If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com
