All devices unable to update software or download new

4 iPads (1 & 2), 1 iPod touch and 1 iPhone
All were upgraded (well, except iPad 1) to iOS 6.1.2

ok, it wasn't formed as a question, but I was asking:
Is AppleStore/iTunes store operating normally
If so, why are ALL of my devices unable to update software.. (assume this needs more information)
This started 3 days ago now, and I thought "if AppleStore is down, this will be newsworthy" but I didn't see anything on the news.. so I posted here.
So are there any diagnostics one could run to check whether this is a fault in my network - due to some particular reason.. specifically with the AppleStore?
One user (my daughter) was able to download and watch episodes on her AppleTV.. my son tried using GPRS to update his device but experienced the same "block".. Several devices are trying to update software in the house.
I've reset the network (router to ISP) but all my other activities are running normally, including on these devices.
Google Earth is refreshing maps, (in fact, Apple Maps is refreshing maps).. so seemingly everything is normal.. until I ask to update a program or download one.

  • Unable to update application and download new purchase?

    After downloading ios8, I am unable to update or download any application. Please help!

    Is the time and date correct?  Make sure that includes the time zone.

  • I am unable to update software or backup my devices. Apple techs unable to resolve the issue after hours of phone support over the course of several months.

    I am unable to update software, transfer purchases, sync, or backup any of my 3 devices. I have tried using iTunes on other computers, uninstalling iTunes with tech support walking me through, using a different user on my computer, deleting photos off of my devices, using an ethernet cable instead of connecting with wifi, uninstalling my antivirus software and firewall, and had my laptop examined by several techs who all determined there was nothing wrong with the laptop that explains what has been going on. I am also unable to view or download purchases on iTunes.  Clicking the Itunes store results in a blank white screen. I get various error messages, including -9886. Apple techs and now the engineers have been unable to resolve the issues thus far, even after several hours of phone support over the course of several months (about 5 hours this month alone). I have done everything they've suggested, even when they've suggested I do something over again, and I'm becoming frustrated. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance for your time.

    Hi there
    Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
    I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
    There is file in following directory:
    C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
    Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
    Cheers

  • I have upgraded my software to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I want to update that to Lion. How do I do that? When I look at the Lion software available for download on the apple site it all seems to be update software for people already a version of Lion.

    It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
    Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • I have the IPhone 4 , after updating the software to version 5.0 , i can't edit my contacts, is it only from my device or the updated software should be adjusted?

    I have the IPhone 4 , after updating the software to version 5.0 , i can't edit my contacts anymore(the button edit doesn't exist anymore), is it only from my device or the updated software should be adjusted?

    That's exactly right.  And since you have a MacBook Air (as I do), that means the synching should occur just fine (if you've set it up right in iTunes).  In other words, once you actually do the update, the iTunes on your MacBook Air will re-sync your photos back to your iPhone.
    Basically, the process is that your iPhone gets backed up, wiped clean, then the new iOS version gets installed, then the backup gets restored.  That will restore everything in the article above, which does not include your photos.  But the sync process that happens after the iOS installation would restore your photos from iPhoto given you've set it up that way in iTunes.
    When you have your iPhone plugged into iTunes, while looking at the iPhone's summary page, click "Photos" on the right side of iTunes to see how you have your sync set up.
    Regardless, it sounds like you'll be fine!  Your photos will wind up in iPhoto once you place them there.  They will be safe there.

  • I can't update my apps, download new ones

    I can't update my apps, download new ones

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot 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.
    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 you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

    I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!Help!

    Here are a bunch of things that you can try to get the downloads to resume.
    Reboot 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.
    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>iTunes & App 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>iTunes & App 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.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Brand new BB playbook -Unable to update software

    Need help!
    I just got my PB today.  I have followed all the setup steps until software update.  I kept getting "Unable to download software update."  I have perfectly fine WIFI connection at home.  I even tried put it next to the router.
    The current OS version is 1.0.0.1439, and trying to download version 1.0.3.1868
    I have retried many times and couldn't do anything other than "Restart", "Retry" and "Turn Off"
    This Software Update step should have a skip button instead of trying to update as unless the update is complete you just cant use the device...its quite frustrating.

    Raji,
    Can you change your router settings from secure mode to OPEN. This will only be a temporary change. Go into your computer settings for Wireless Network, click on Properties and somewhere there you may have a Security Setting such as WPA which can be changed to OPEN. Once set to open, try the download. Try it and report back.

  • Unable to update Software through phone in Nokia A...

    Dear Nokia,
    I checked today that there is a software update available for my Asha 200. I downloaded the software through the option given in the phone. The software was downloaded successfully but when i tried to install the software, phone prompted a diaogue box '2.7 MB Memory needed. Delete some items?'. I tried to delete some items but couldn't because all the filed were system files hence protected. Please let meknow how to update the software using phone only? I cant not update this software using PC due to non-availability of PC with me.
    Thanks!
    Aditya

    Also, i saw that people are facing problems after updating the software update by Nokia. Guys, please let me know whether i shouldupdate my phone with new firmware or should wait for the another fixed version.
    Please help.

  • Unable to update apps or download next segment of app game

    Hello,
    I am unable to Update All or even separately update any of my apps from the App Store. When I click on Update All, I give it my password then briefly see the blue update circle but then it goes right back to "Update". I've tried signing out of the App Store, doing a hard reset, then signing back into the App Store and that didn't fix it. Any thoughts?
    As a side note, I tried purchasing the next levels of an app game and I get an error saying the game was used under a different Apple ID. I have recently reset my password but don't recall ever creating separate IDs. How do I find out if I have others out there or which ID a specific app is tied to?
    Thanks,
    Anne

    Update:
    Only thing left that I can think of - repair disk permissions on the drive that stores iTunes run files and repair disk on the external that holds the library content.  Repair of permissions reports (ACL missing on “Applications/iTunes.app”) but also that the ACL has been fixed.  So  I try my iTunes tasks again (mainly the app updates) and on first run iTunes says unable to download, file with duplicate name exists.  I don't know what the **** it's talking about for that, so I shut it down and reopened, and of course it went back to all original problems...
    One more thing I've noticed - Just did a sync with my iPhone and initiated a Transfer Purchases first.  iTunes transferred my new books, but though it said it was transferring some 20 apps, all still call for updates and my newest apps (not yet in the library) are still not in the library...
