Single tap the app's icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes App Store, switch to the "Updates" screen and click "Update" to resume the download. This is what I do on my iOS device and the fix works most of the times.

FaceTime won't stay connected on WiFi on iPhone 4 after iOS6 update

My boyfriend and I both have the iPhone 4. We rely on FaceTime to video chat with each other as he lives in another city from myself and our daughter. We used FaceTime almost on a daily basis over WiFi prior to updating to iOS 6. Since updating to iOS6, neither of us can get FaceTime to maintain a connection to the other for more then a few seconds. FaceTime connects, then the screen goes black says reconnecting and it's a 50/50 guess as to whether it will reconnect and we can see each other for a split second before it goes black and reconnects again or just simply disconnects us. This has been happening for weeks now. I've been in touch with Rogers "technical" support and was told that since we only have iPhone 4 and are using FaceTime over WiFi that they can't do anything to help and I need to contact Apple as it's an Apple Server issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions other then telling me to upgrade to the iPhone 5 so we can use FaceTime over 3G?

So you're saying that it's only your phone that has the wifi problem? Like your friends are using the same wifi as you, but only you lose connection while they don't?
If that's the case, does the wifi have a passcode? And also some wifi networks have a verification before the wifi becomes accessible. For example, you may connect to a wifi network without having to put a password, but then you would need to open Safari and you would need to confirm some things before you're able to use it. Like in college, the wifi is free and open to everyone but only students who have a user and pass are able to access the wifi.
2nd possible solution is to reset your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if that works.
3rd, restart your phone by turning it on/off.
4th, restore your phone on iTunes.

When I am connected to the WiFi, my apps cannot be download. Once I had disable the wifi and connect directly to the service provider, the apps will start to download. Please advise what is the problem and solution for my iPhone 5.

I can't follow your meaning. What does connect directly to your ISP mean?
Did you mean turning off WiFi but turning on Cellular Data on your iPhone?

Cannot download the apps and it keeps saying the app cannot be downloaded at this time

Every time I try to download free apps, it keeps telling me the app cannot be downloaded at this time. I tried to download the same app for 3days and it keeps telling me the same thing

Worked on my iPhone. Tried many methods which in support communities here. All failed (replaced hosts file, disable antivirus/firewall, on/off wifi, sign in/out itunes)
Finally there is a funny "unclick" let me successfully settled this issue. Make sure the option of "Automatically sync when this iphone is connected" is unclicked, at the time when iphone is connected to iTunes. It is the setting at iTunes iPhone Summary page. Hope this can help you so.

Since upgrading to ios7, apps just say waiting and then get the app cannot be downloaded at this time message. We run a proxy server, devices running ios6 have no problems. Anyone know what the problem is? I think apple just needs to fix its new OS.

I work at a school running 10 iPads. We connect to the internet through a proxy server. Prior to iOS7 we had no issues, the devices still on iOS6 work perfectly.
All devices which have been upgraded to iOS7 cannot download apps. I can find the apps in the store, choose to download them, but the icon hangs for a while before returning the "app cannot be downloaded at this time message". Help.

I have this same exact issue. We have even put all apple servers as not even being filtered by proxy and it still wont download anything. Nor will it let us even log in or create a new acct in the app store. It seems its also not just app store related....as it won't even let you check for IOS updates when a proxy is entered.
If anyone has any ideas let us know!

MY iPhone 4 after being updated to iOS7 will not download or update any apps. When i press the button on my device to download a new app the loading wheel appears then in a few seconds disappears. I dont get a terms and conditions screen or anything.

Ive tried using wifi and 3G seperately. Ive tried restarting the phone. Ive tried restoring it from a backup but none of these have worked yet.

I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the last five days. Help!

It started when tryung to update Twitter. Now the problem is with every app I try to update or download.

I have this issue as well. The App Store icon indicates there are updates available but when I open the app a popup says it can't connect to the store and the screen remains white. I have tried a hard reset (power & home button) and several other suggestions I have found throughout the forums here without success.

HT201272 I realize that lately every time I try to redownload apps I have previously purchased I keep getting 'app cannot be downloaded at this time'. Please help.

I need help with re loading apps I have previously purchased. I keep getting the message 'app cannot be downloaded at this time'

Hi tmcrae
First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
Hope that helps

Apps aren't downloading to my iPhone

For some reason, apps aren't downloading to my iPhone. I see that updates are available. I click install, a blank status bar appears, but then it hangs in limbo. No data appears to download, because the blue color never starts to show incoming data for downloading the update. I've hard-rebooted the phone and closed all open apps multiple times.

The app store worked the next day.
I don't know how to delete this thread.

HT4759 I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

After iOS6 update, It says cannot connect to iTunes Store when I try to go to the app store.

How do I fix this on my iPhone 4S?

Same phone and ios, same problem. Worked just fine for me Sunday, but nothing today, all day. As a workaround I found I can still connect using iTunes on my Macbook Pro, the I synch my iPhone. There are way too many people with the same problem for it to be anything but Apples problem. Hope this helps.

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

TS1567 I cannot activate my iphone 3gs after I updated to ios 6.

I cannot activate my iphone 3gs after i updated to ios 6.0.1 and all it shows when i start the phone is connect to itunes. I have tried

The typical cause is that the device has been hacked or jailbroken.

That's usually a sign that your phone was hacked/jailbroken, and iTunes has detected such, errored out, preventing your phone from activating. Since Apple does not support hacking/jailbreaking, that's what happens, by design.
We can't help you here, as Apple owns this forum. You'll have to go elsewhere.

Hey AU Nicasio,
Thanks for the question. If the iCloud tab (and other tabs) are greyed out, and you are unable to tap on them, it sounds like Restrictions have been enabled on your device. Specifically, the Restriction titled “Allow Changes: Accounts”.
For more information, see this resource:
