Apple ID blocked on iPhone app updates, Mastercard no longer recognized

All the sudden my Mastercard (canada) is no longer recognized. I checked with my bank and everything seems to be fine from their side.
Every time I type the security code, it gives me the message that " this card cannot be used with the itunes store".
After several attempts, I gave up and modified my account to payment "None" option.
They don't want my money: ...fine
Now what is more annoying is that I can't update my apps anymore on my iPhone. I get the message "Apple ID blocked". However, I am able to visualize my ID on the iPhone. I modified my password. Nothing helped. I tried another ID I have from having lived for many years in Europe. All the time my Canadian ID pops up on the App update function with the message "Apple ID blocked".
Can anybody help with that? If this continues, I am seriously thinking about legal action as I paid for these apps and now I can't access up-to-date functions for a software which I own. Any ideas if there are some consumer defense organizations out there to help with that.
I am seriously fed up with all the time lost with this problems (3 days spending my time working on this problem now!!!!)

So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner. When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first. The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app. HELP?

Old Apple ID appearing during IPhone app updates

When I attempt to update apps on my IPhone I am asked to give a password for an old Apple ID. How can I change the Apple ID linked to my I Phone when I attempt to upgrade applications? The "active ID" linked to my account is not presented. Have looked in every setting and many forums and can't find an answer. The same ID is being presented on my other devices asking for a password for my old Apple ID. This occured when I upgraded my Iphone to IOS 5 and also made a conversion from Mobile Me to ICloud. Thanks!

I had this same problem until I read from another poster on this (or similar) thread. I decided to delete the purchased apps from my iphone4 and used my directory of apps listed in iTunes to recall those that I might want to renew. I also got rid of some junk. I then deleted ALL the purchased apps from iTunes.
When I purchsed the new ones I was asked for my p/w and the current Apple ID was used, unlike the outdated one previously "embedded" in the older purchases. Thanks for the help. Al

Error while downloading iPhone app updates

Yesterday I tried to download two iPhone app updates. The app store showed the two updates that were available, but when I tried to update them, it kept giving me an error message saying that my iTunes store request could not be completed. I am up to date on iPhone, iTunes, and OS X software, so I don't know why it did this. I had no problem downloading the updates directly to my iPhone. Any ideas? I did catch my wife a few weeks ago plugging her iPhone into the Mac while I was logged in (we have separate user accounts on the computer). I immediately ejected it from iTunes and unplugged it. I didn't notice any changes after that, either in my iTunes library or on her iPhone. Did this make any changes that I may not have noticed? Also, this past weekend I purchased some music in my iTunes account and had no problems downloading it and syncing it to my iPod.
Edit: I guess I should have seen the Error 5002 thread. That is what mine is doing. Itunes account set for 1-click. No problem on iPod, just on iPhone apps.

I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
Did you find a solution yet?
I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.

My new registered apple ID does not match the ID that comes up on my iphone. I can't update the iphone Apple id and therefore get apps updated.

My new registered apple ID doesn't match the ID that comes up on my iphone. The old id is an old email address, and the phone gives me no way to change the id on the phone. I've searched the Apple ID website and done all I can there. Meanwhile, I cannot connect or update apps such as icloud. What can I do?

Future purchases are made with the Apple ID in Settings>Store>Apple ID. If you want to change this tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using an alternate ID. App updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to originally purchase the app being updated, regardless of whether or not your email has changed, or you have created a new Apple ID.

What is Apple doing to fix iPhone app failure

This problem looks like a bad MS conflict error... One of the biggest reasons I got away from PC.
I have a new (now 4 days old as of this posting) 3G iPhone with all updates. It has been registered with Apple and synced with my iTunes. I have loaded free apps on my iPhone with the reasoning being that if the free apps don't work, I surly will not buy an app from the designer of a non working free app.
I have done the reset and reboot, which "some" of the apps did work fine. But all, non standard iPhone apps, crash on startup following a sync section with iTunes.
Without claiming to be a programer or even a technician, it appears that the cause of the down loaded app failure stems from the sync with iTunes and maybe poor app design. Anyone from the PC world will recognize this as a "conflict error".
At the iPhone introduction Keynote address, I feel Steve Jobs lead me to believe that is would not happen with the 3rd party development of apps. It's just not the "Apple" way. I maybe wrong in that it is not an actual "conflict error" but something else, still, it is not what I have come to expect from Apple and hope that this problem is not a sign of the future with Apple. It also appears that better "quality assurance" is needed with app development and iPhone syncing.
My question is:
What, if anything, is Apple doing to solve this massive problem with downloaded apps and the iPhone and syncing with iTunes?
If someone could show me a link with an Apple reply to solving this problem besides reset/reboot/reload I would be a little more confident in knowing that I didn't waste good money and "TIME" in getting the iPhone.
This boot-reboot, reset, wipe it clean approach is not good, to much like living in the MS world, not Apple.

Going to the local Apple store this morning...
My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

How do I change the Apple Id on my iPad app updates?

When updating apps on my ipad2, the wrong Apple Id shows up (an id from another family member's iPhone). We use the same pc with itunes. How can I change this so only my app updates are shown? This is the only place that this Id shows up incorrectly. My correct id shows up in Settings.

Apps are always associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. AFAIK - as long as you are using apps on your iPad that were purchased with another Apple ID - those app updates will always popup when they are available. The only way to remove the updates is to delete the apps.

It only took 4 hours for Apple to approve my latest app update

Historically approval time has always been 4-6 days for the DPS apps we've published, however on Monday our latest app update went from "Waiting for Upload" to "Pending Developer Release" in a little over 4 hours. Perhaps it was a fluke, or perhaps Apple has found a way to streamline the approval process. It was so odd I thought others might want to know that Apple can approve an app quickly.

It was an update to a multi-folio app to include an iPhone viewer in addition to the iPad viewer that's been available for the last year. The only new content was the folios formatted for iPhone 3G and 4. It's also the app with the smallest folios (both in file size and number of articles) so perhaps that made a difference.

Wrong Apple ID associated with iPhone apps

I have 2 iPhones -- one is my personal iPhone, and the other is provided to me by my job. They use different Apple IDs, but I manage them using the same computer by holding the shift key down when I start iTunes, and selecting the appropriate library. Somewhere along the way, something went wrong. Several of the apps that I purchased with my personal Apple ID show up associated with my work Apple ID, so I can not update them. I am 100% certain these apps were not purchased with my work ID -- I never make purchases from that account. In fact, I have also never made a purchase from the iTunes app on my PC. Every app I have was purchased directly from my personal phone. I did not have this issue until I had to back up and wipe out my iPhone for repair. Once the repair was complete, I restored the backup and found some of the apps were now associated with the wrong ID.

If I delete the apps, it makes me pay for them again. I'm not going to pay a second time for apps I already paid for with this ID. There has to be another solution. Somehow the associated ID got changed, so there has to be a way to change it back.

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.

IPhone apps update?

When I open the new iTunes on my Mac I can no longer find where to update my iPhone Apps.
I know I can do it on the iPhone itself through the App store
but can you not update through iTunes on the computer any more?

Pappasbike wrote:
In the phone user guide it says that the phone checks weekly for updates to installed apps. Is there any way to know when it does this or to manually make it do this other than going into the app store and clicking "updates"?
John
Yes and No. In iTunes, highlight the Applications section under Library. In the lower right is a "Check for updates" button. (Note: If there is a number behind the Applications under Library, that is the number of updates available. In that case, the button in the lower right will change to show the number of updates available). However, when you click either button, the Apps Store is contacted so you can download any updates.

How can I tell itunes to install iPhone App updates automatically?

ITunes 12 can download app updates. Right now I have to connect my iPhone, go the installed apps and click on (for each updated app) "update" to change it to "will update" and then click "sync". How can I tell iTunes to automatically update any updated app currently on the iPhone?

I know they need to be converted, but the problem is, 2000 of the 5000 have already been converted. now it's trying to convert them again. but there is no reason for that. i want to know how to convert the other files that weren't converted yet, without having to re-convert the ones that were already done.
I would move the ones that were done to a separate folder, but I don't know exactly what ones were done. In iTunes, they are the first 2000 or so in the list, but on my hard drive they are not in the same order.
Does anyone else know if there's a way to do this?

IPhone App updates not there

My iPhone keeps lighting up the app icon saying I have app's to update. (4-5 times a day) When I go to update screen, all app's are up to date. Went to my iTunes page on PC and everything is OK. Already did soft re-boot of phone. Any ideas. This is a pain in the ***!

I Sync (ed) twice last night at home on the PC. When I just went to the "Price Check by Amazon" app updates, it asked if I wanted to download an older version of the app that will work with my phone. I said yes, and for now the problem has gone away. I'll re-sync when I get home.
Thanks,

Repeatedly asking for Apple ID Password with every app update iOS7

Since I updated to iOS7, I have to type in my password for every app update. I don't want to auto-update all the apps; I like an older FB app. How can I get my phone to remember my password like before in the app store?

I encountered this on my son's iPod Touch. I tried an 'Update All', but since he has one or two apps from his sister's Apple ID and she wasn't here to enter her password (which stopped the whole process!) I wanted to just update the other apps (purchased on my Apple ID). However, since there wasn't an option to skip an app, it seemed the only way to update the others (around 50 apps) was to click on all the update buttons individually. That would have been annoying enough, but fancy being asked to type in my password for every… single… app!
Absolute madness. Does Apple not think through these things anymore? They used to pay such careful attention to little details of the user experience. Very frustrating.
