App update delay breaks system

Has anyone resolved the issue of releasing an app which communicates with a server and then having the server be updated immediately while the app takes weeks to appear in the app store? It seems completely unreasonable to push app updates for larger app which are only a small part of a larger system and not have them immediately available. Most of the time updates cause breaking changes and therefore the app and the server side need to be updated simultaneously. This is impossible if app updates do not appear in the app store immediately. Anyone have any ideas?

Join the club .. I've been trying to log into the App store since Lion was released .. Keeps telling me "an unknown error has occured"
I have no problem logging into Itunes , this discussion group .. etc.. just CANNOT LOG INTO APP STORE...
have tried everything from reloading Snow Leopard . to all the terminal changes that others have suggested ...
guess it's time for a new Macbook Pro...
so weird...

Double-click the Home button to bring up the app screen, then swipe upwards on the app.

App-store locks to one of several users even though app to be updated is a system app

The app-store locks to one of several users even though app to be updated is a system app avalable to all users. That is to say that the signin user name text box is auto entrered and grayed so it can't be changed. I assume that the last user to update it is the user that is entered automaticly. How do you unlock it and prevent it from happening again?

Don't hold your finger down for an excess amount of time. Just quickly tap and release on the app icon.

HT204266 The APP update request came for 4 apps. I submitted update all, but the system is stuck and will not update. Further, I cannot use those apps. How do I fix this?

Two other things to try -
Power your iPad off for a minute and then back on again.
Double tap the Home button, locate the updating apps (one by one) in the bottom task bar, press on it until the red minus sign comes up and click it. Repeat for the remaining apps. Try the updates again but do them one by one rather than Update All.

My apple won't do the app updates

i've about had it with this computer
i was prompted earlier today to do a app updates. i delayed it for a hour, then went back to do it
and it says "there was a error in the app store. ( 20 )
what do i do,,,

Hello, tempraven.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend making sure that Mac App Store and Identified Developers is selected. You can find this under Security & Privacy and System Preferences. Once this is done, test updating your applications individually.
Gatekeeper options
Gatekeeper gives you more control over what you install. You can choose the safest option and only allow apps that come from the Mac App Store to open. There is also the option of only allowing apps that come from the Mac App Store and identified developers. Or you can choose to allow any apps to open, just like previous versions of OS X.
Gatekeeper options are found in Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tabunder the header "Allow applications downloaded from:"
Note: The default setting for Gatekeeper in OS X Lion v10.7.5 is "Anywhere".
Gatekeeper options are:
Mac App Store – Only apps that came from the Mac App Store can open.
Mac App Store and identified developers (default in OS X Mountain Lion) – Only allow apps that came from the Mac App Store and developers using Gatekeeper can open.
Anywhere – Allow applications to run regardless of their source on the Internet (default in OS X Lion v10.7.5); Gatekeeper is effectively turned off. Note: Developer ID-signed apps that have been inappropriately altered will not open, even with this option selected.

Apps updates/downloads saved in wrong folder

Hi,
I have just transferred my iTunes library to my new NAS (WD MyCloud). I simply copied over my entire iTunes folder from the iMac internal hard drive to the NAS, deleted all the content from iTunes and added everything back from the new location/folder. I also changed the iTunes Medial folder location in the Advanced Preference settings.
Everything seems to work fine with the exception of the App updates/downloads. Whenever I update an existing App or download a newone it will be saved in the old folder on the internal hard drive of my iMac.
This drives me crazy...please help!
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien.

I think you mean +command shift s+ (Save As…).
When you *Save As…* you need to choose where to save your initial document, after that just saving will save it in the right spot.
Inside the *Save As…* dialog box you are free to navigate to other locations either within the column view or by clicking on the folder name at the top of the window, which will reveal the sets of folders enclosing the one you are in ie higher up the hierarchy. To go up the list, just scroll down the menu and let go at the folder you want to move to.
Also on the left of the *Save As…* dialogue box is your sidebar of frequent locations, you can click on those. To add your own folders to your Sidebar drag in their icon in Finder.
Also there is a *Search field* to the right of the folder name in the *Save As…* dialogue box, where you can look for folders or files to move to.
To help you move around more and have more choices at your finger tips, try:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7214/default-folder-x
*Default Folder X* is an enormous assist if you don't quite get the computer file system. It lets you click outside the Save dialogue on the folder you want to save to and it jumps there.

Makes the regular start up noise and back to same routine.... PLease help if possible....
Thanks Tina Schlemer

Try booting to the recovery partition and running Disk Utility.
1, Boot while holding down the command and R keys (two keys).
see this page: http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
2. Run Disk Utility, select the hard drive in the left column, First Aid then click Repair Disk.
3. Quit DU and restart.
If that does not do it, you can reinstall the OS from the same screen as took you to DU.
(My cat has never been able to do what yours did. I think he is just trying to email his friends.)

Why do app updates no longer show up for me in iTunes?

Please don't stop reading, because I think my issue is different from similar ones I've found posts about.
For the past week or so, I've been unable to update apps through iTunes. When I click "Check for Updates," it shows "Accessing iTunes Store" at the top of the screen, but after it finishes I never get a dialog box -- neither the dialog box saying there are new updates nor the one saying there are not. Also, I don't get the notification in the left hand column next to "Applications" that normally shows how many app updates are available. The latter point is what seems to distinguish my problem from the other posts I've seen, in which push notification seems to work but updating fails. I can't even see any updates in the first place -- and this occurs even when I can see from using the App Store on my iPhone that I have multiple updates available. And I have a lot of apps.
I should add that this is especially mysterious because it is the only problem I am having with iTunes. I can still download NEW apps from the iTunes App Store, sync my iPhone, download podcasts, etc. I can also update Apps on my iPhone itself. My internet service is working fine. This problem began with the previous version of iTunes and has continued in iTunes 8.1.
One final confession. A few weeks ago, I went through my Apps folder and deleted the non-current versions of all of my apps, hoping to save space on my old computer's hard drive. I don't think this is the cause of the problem, because app updating continued to work for a few weeks after that. But I mention it in the interest of full disclosure. But in addition to my main question, I'd be interested in knowing if this is a bad idea for future reference.
I am running iTunes 8.1.0.51 on Windows XP Home edition (SP 3), and I have a first-generation 4GB iPhone.
Can anyone help?
Thanks very much!

ell, exactly same problem here: could not have been described better. It all started when I noticed that I could no longer update iPhone apps. "Applications" folder under Library showed such updates awaiting downloading: I could not get any further.
AND SUDDENLY, for no reason, the "Application" in iTunes "Library" disappears! No folder visible, no apps listing, no updates mentioned. Wow!
i had contacted Apple's iTunesStoreSupport in regard to the initial incident, and was kindly informed that:
+"Dear Roger,+
+Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Customer Support for assistance. I understand that you are receiving intermittent connection errors using iTunes 8.1.+
+Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.+
+Thank you very much for your patience, and I am sorry for any delay in enjoyment of your iTunes experience. Finding a solution for you is important to me.+
+Remember, we wish your iTunes experience to be truly enjoyable. Take care, and thank you for being a valued iTunes Store customer. Your business is most appreciated.+
+Best regards"+
I thus figured that in some way "all was in control"... Until the Applications forum disappeared. Apps gone??? Are they stored somewhere on my Mac??
I have just emailed an update incident report to iTunesStoreSupport with screen prints to show abrupt, undesired change.

ITunes freezes downloading app updates

I'm running 10.5 (141) on my iMac running Lion and am running into a problem where iTunes will constantly freeze when I download my app updates. If I download updates individually, there doesn't seem to be a problem and if I turn off simultaneous downloads, the probelm will be less frequent but it always seems to happen if I have a bunch of apps to download. The scenario is this, I will click on "Download All Free Updates" and it will start downloading away. Things will be fine for a while but after a few minutes of downloading, I'll notice that suddenly the progress bars stop moving and the estimated times start going up. At this point, iTunes is effectively hung. I can sometimes press a few buttons like "pause all" and this will pause all the non-active downloads but not the ones in progress. Even though I can get to the Finder, I cannot quit iTunes, force quit iTunes or restart my system. If I try to force quit iTunes from the dock, that will usuually cause the dock to freeze. Each time this happens, my only recourse is a hard reboot. I've tried having Activitiy Monitor running and a Termimal window open at the same time but when this happen, both of those apps hang at the same time so I'm not able to type any commands or quit any processes.
This is any annoying problem because each time I do a hard reboot, I risk corrupting my iTunes library. I've had similar problems with iTunes in the past freezing but those were random. This always happens during app downloads. I had hoped that this kind of thing would stop once iTunes was a true Cocoa application but it still seems to bring the whole system down whenever it has a major problem. My guess is that it's crashing some network process and that in turn in hanging the whole system.
Luckily, I don't actually need to update the apps on my computer and can do it directly from my iDevices but it's frustrating that this problem exists. Any ideas?

I can't believe that no one answered Eric D's querry! It has been over a year! Come on Apple iPad users, help us out.
I have a similar problem that arrose recently. I have had my iPad for a couple of years, no problem. But recently, I notied that I had a number of apps that had free upgrades so I began to download them. ArtRage is one of my important apps as I use it on my iPad andI have ArtRage Pro on my iMac. However, when I attempted to download the latest upgrade, ArtRage froze. The app is greyed out on the iPad and it can't be used and I can't download the upgrade either. When I try to upgrade, it goes to "waiting ..." then, I receive an error window, "Unable to Download Application." ArtRage" could not be downloaded at this time: with a "Done" and "Retry" button. If I hit the Retry button, eventually the same error window reappears. This is a Catch 22! Moreover, the ArtRage App is frozen so I can't even use the previous version.
I checked with ArtRage help and they say this is an Apple problem (or a Appstore problem). I now have my SketchBook Pro app frozen like this also. These are two of my most importat and most used apps. I need help.
Just to make things clear, I was able to download Dragon a few minutes ago. So this problem does not effect all the apps I need to download.

App Update Problem - Help!

It says I have 15 updates for my apps in the Appstore. So I clicked update all and it brings me to the homescreen and shows a page of apps with some of the ones that need to be updated on and as if they're in the updating process. Then it just stops. All apps go back to normal and none of them update. I went back to the Appstore and tried to Update All numerous times then I tried to do them one by one. Still, nothing happened. I went into my iTunes and clicked on the apps and clicked update. Nothing. I don't know what to do! Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!
(Oh, BTW could it be that I didn't update my iPod system to IOS 5? [It's version is 4.3.5 (8L1)] Because I heard it wipes your photos so I didn't want to update it but if I have to, I will if it means my iPod's apps will be fixed.)

Do you mean that i cant update an app if it wasnt installed through my account ? Will if the answer is yes, then im sad, because the app isnt a free one , and the account downloaded through wasnt mine it was the iCity's one , i hope the answer is no , i cant also delete it and download it because its not free, i dont have a visa, i only download free apps with my account , so still, im having no answer.

Automatic App Updates in iOS 7

Hello,
I have automatic app updates turned on but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've had to update my app manually so far. Right now I have three listed as "pending" but they haven't downloaded yet. Is there some kind of delay?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they are working out some kinks still... Mine is working, but intermittantly.
It's probably safe to assume that all of the devices in the world won't update at the same moment to preserve server overload, so we'll need to be patient.
