App updates and downloads

My apps that are posted as needing to be updated will not update. The blue circle begins to circle as if trying to update then stops, and goes back to saying update. Also, app won't download, same as updates, when you push download, it circles for a few seconds, then stops.

Strange.... I had that problem with some applications, still happens some times... I just turn off the device (in my case iPod Touch, don't know yours) but truly turn it off HOLD the to button until the red bar appears to turn it off.
Then turn it back on, and the app that didn't start up or always crashed now works.
I also couldn't install updated apps on my iPod, that was until I updated my iPod Touch to the latest firmware... check if you truly have the latest firmware, maybe that's your problem!
As the page limit... I have always wonder myself what is the limit!! There I really can't help you!

    You can log out of the currently logged in account by taping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and you can then log back in.
    If you updated your existing account with a new email address then that shoud 'refresh' it on it
    If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can redownload its content and download updates to its apps. You should be able to update an account's email address via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

  • HT3702 My bestfriend signed in to my iTunes and her account owes money and i tried o log back into mine on setting and her account still seems to appear when I'm trying to update and download an app please help. We have tried everything.

    My bestfriend signed in my phone as her iTunes which she owes money to i tried logging back into mine and it won't let i tried setting and iTunes logout logged in as me and it say it but when i go to update and download a app its still showing up her username and stuff so i can't do anything .

    What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app ? You could try tapping on the id there and logging out of it and then log back in with your account - if your friend downloaded any apps then those apps will be tied to her account, so only her account will be able to download updates to her apps.

  • Is there a way to use Automator or Applescript to launch the Mac App Store and download updates automatically?

    As the subject indicates, I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to use AppleScript or Automator to launch the Mac App Store and download any available updates on a set schedule.

    I would advise against this. Updates sometimes reduce functionality or break programs.  I would never get an update with working software unless there is a specific problem you are trying to solve.
    I have read many desperate posts from people trying to go back to earlier versions for various reasons. This is easy to do with disk-based software,  but with downloaded software, going backward can be more difficult.

  • Please fix my apple account. I cant update and download from app store. I wrote you before but there is no answer.  For example one message box i got says: Your Apple ID has been disabled.  But the itunes guy says, he cant help me. Who can?

    But the itunes guy says, he cant help me. Who can? I can use my apple acounts, why?

    Try here first >  Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you can't resolve the issue on your own, call Apple or schedule a call >   Apple - Support - Solutions
    Keep in mind, this is a user to user forum. You are not communicating directly with Apple here. No one here can fix your Apple iD.

  • App updates and iBook downloads stay on pause

    Several app updates and some iBook downloads show "pause" instead of downloading. I can't delete them or start them. Any ideas?

    See if you have something in iTunes that did not completely download that might be causing the jam in the app store or iBooks. If you do find something -  finish that download.

    It gives me the message " You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." I do not know what to do. Can someone help me?
    Thank you

    i'm here because i have a question about software update, but your question intrigues me. from what i understand, you're talking about two different things. i'm on the same version of osx and i have an application that is called App Store. I have placed it in my dock. do you have this? I believe it is part of the os. when you open the app there are columns on the top, just like the ios app store, the one on the far right being updates. when you click on this it offers you the option to update all of your "purchased" apps for Mac, with "purchased"  including free apps. Unfortunately, unlike the ios app store, you still need to sign into itunes/icloud to get the updates. i'm sure they will change this in a future update because it's simply silly.i believe that your Apple ID and password are the same between itunes and the icloud, since they synch with each other -- they are for me, so the different IDs and passwords referenced above refer to this community forum vs itunes/icloud.
    i hope this helps. good luck...

  • Updates and downloads are frozen.  Now what do I do?

    I have about 3 App updates and one download that are just sitting there saying "waiting...".   It's been that way for the last couple of hours.  I have tried powering off and on.  I have tried connecting the sync cable and downloading the updates, etc. from my laptop.  They downloaded.  I synced, but the those same Apps are just sitting there saying "waiting...". 
    My other Apps work.  Apps that use wireless can use it fine.
    My iPad has a 14GB capacity.   About 8+ is in use and 5+ is free.  I updated to the iOS 5 last week.
    What now? 

    pjl123,
    Not sure if this is going to be readable.  It looked weird after I posted it.
      Now we are getting somewhere.  That WAS helpful.   At first when you said "iTunes" I thought, "Oh, no, this guy hasn't even read the problem.  There is no iTunes on my iPad.  iTunes is on my computer, and I know the problem isn't there."
    But you sure sounded like you knew what you were talking about, so I went looking.  I clicked on the App Store icon and looked around. No problem there.  Then I thought about the "Music" icon.  Wasn't that named iTunes before the update or was it iPod?  I don't remember.
    Lo, and behold!   I clicked on Music, then on Store.  There was a red cirlce with a number 5 siting on top of Downloads.  I went in there and paused those downloads.  I went back out of all of that and looked at the App whose update was previously frozen.  It was sitting there completed. 
    I went to Purchases and chose an old App that I had not yet downloaded.  It downloaded with no problem.
    But I still had those downloads that were stuck, and there was no way to abort them; I could only pause or restart..  Drawing on previous advice from Demo, I double clicked the Home button, closed Music and iTunes, and did a two button restart thingy.  (It might have helped that downloads were set on pause.)  When I restart I went into iTunes (oh, found an icon for that, btw, that I hadn't previously seen...duh!) and restarted one of the downloads.  It downloaded.  So I took them one by one.  They have all downloaded, except for two downloads having to do with the Economist Magazine.
    HERE IS THE PROBLEM  (I think)
    I have an App for the Economist Magazine.  They evidently have done a complete app replacement rather than an update.  I think I no longer have the app that these issues are trying to download to.  Could that be the problem?  The downloads in question are called "Syria's Crisis" and "Babbage: November 16...".   So I guess you would consider them documents that are somehow linked to a defunct app.  I'm just speculating.
    So now the question is:  How do I get rid of these two stuck downloads.?  Keeping them paused will probably solve my original problem, but I would like to clear them out.
    Thanks guys for your help.  pjl123 - Correct answer.  Demo - Helpful answer (qutting App Store and restarting)

  • When ever I try to sync my iPad2 to itunes i can never completely "update and download" because after the entire process it says "Error: unable to complete update /download, network timed out"!  Why? I have wi-fi in my house

    I can't complete my iPad2 update and download, ever.  It says my network timed out and I don't know why.

    Temporarily turn off any firewall or anti-virus software you have on your PC while downloading.

    Hey khdewey,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod touch being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    1. Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    2. Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    3. Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    4. Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    5. Restart your Mac.
    Additional Information
    In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes, but after you restart your Mac, the device may not be recognized again. If this happens and you're using Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, please follow these steps.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
