Apps in iTunes NOT updating

I have a large library of apps in itunes, not all of which are installed on my iPhone or iPad. When I open iTunes, and check my apps section, I have 204 apps that need updating. I have no problems updating apps on my mobile devices, but iTunes will not update the apps. I am prompted with the message "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable, please try again later." This has been happening for quite sometime. I can still purchase apps, music, and other media through iTunes no problem, so clearly the store is available. All of my software is up to date, FYI. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • HT204266 i have several apps that are not updating, they are stuck saying "waiting"

    I have several apps that are not updating, they are stuck saying "waiting".

    Are you downloading music?
    Check by going to iTunes (on iDevice) > downloads and then remove the one that is trying to download, this will then make the others download and when they are finished, the apps will update/install

  • *** is up with itunes not updating my info??

    *** is up with itunes not updating my info. the problem I am still having after 3 weeks is I can not update my credit card/debit card info because itunes says my billing information does not match my bank records. I know this is lunacy because the info I put in is completely correct, i even contacted my bank 3 times to make sure they had my info correct. so obviously something is completely ******** with itunes/iphone in which I cant update my info. **** I cant even download a free app, because it says my info has changed, and I need to change it. when i do, it gives me that stupid message about my info not matching my bank records. Something needs to be done asap.

    does itunes support ever respond to these forums??
    Since these are user-to-user forums, no they don't.
    See this -> iTunes Store Account and Billing

  • I have an Ipad 2 and have about 20 apps that will not update, How can I delete these?

    I have some apps that will not update on my IPad 2.  They say they are installing, but Installing is grey..not black, and they have been like this for several weeks.  I cannot find out how to finish the updates or delete them.  Can someone suggest a solution?  Thanks, Ann

    You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

  • Mac app store will not update my apps

    I try repeatedly to update aperture to 3.x.x and the app store keeps saying there has been an error and try again later ... for about 2 months!

    Thanks for your response ...
    Aperture was purchased from app store. Was updated to 3.2.1 and again to 3.2.3 but will not update to 3.3
    I get an ' error at app store, can not update at this time (13)'
    Just wondering if it's on my end or something at the app store.
    Why would the app store inform me of the update but not let me get it?
    Best regards, T.

  • The app store will not update my apps.

    The app store will not update my apps.  I keep clicking update all but it just spins for hours.  I have restarted the computer and the store multiple times but it just hangs on updates.  Suggestions?

    De nada amigo.
    Thank You for extending the courtesy of awarding points to comments that are helpful or provide answers in the Apple Support Communities, as this is not mandatory, but it is much appreciated!

  • Itunes  not updating bonjour error

    Itunes not updating bonjour error (the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed)

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Updated apps on iTunes not syncing with iPhone 4S

    Hello!
    I've synced the iPhone 4S with iTunes 10.5, and in iTunes there are 53 apps with available updates (I'm choosing not to update some), but in the App Store app on the phone there's a badge saying there are 87 available updates.  I've never experienced this discrepancy before.  Some of the apps in the phone's Updates section of the App Store are apps that I've already updated in iTunes.  So the sync doesn't seem to be installing them in the phone.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

  • Updated apps on iTunes not shown as updated on iPhone

    hi! I just installed iTunes on my laptop and I tried updating my apps through iTunes. After updating, I checked my iPhone and I don't think my apps were updated on my iPhone because the same apps were shown in the "updates" section of the App store on my iPhone as still available for update. I just read another question and I tried syncing my iPhone now but it still doesn't show that the apps are updated on iPhone. Thank you for answering in advance!

    OK then. The apps are there. It's just that the iPhone cannot display more pages of apps than the ridiculous number that they started with iOS 1.
    I thought that may be Apple with all our billions of dollars might have corrected that (and the "show in chaos after restore is better to keep the user alive" thing).
    Apparently not.

  • App's Will Not Update in Mac App Store

    I'm going try to make this a clear as I can. This problem only occurs when try to update App's in the "Mac App Store only " and not in the iTunes Music Store. And it only is happen in one users account.  Every time I try to update apps in the Mac Apps store under the Update Menu. This is what happens.
    I t will show you that you have and App ready for update.
    1) I press the button to update.
    2) It will ask me for my AppleID/Password
    3) After entry my Apple ID Info: Here where I have the problem starts. The update will not download and all I get is the clock of spin.  It just spins  and spins.  No draw timebar and no download.
    I've remove the following in the (user/library) the following files and it dose not solve the problem.
    user/Library/Prferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    user/Library/Prferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    user/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
    This is only happen in one my one user account. If I go to my backup account I can download Mac App Store Update with no problems. This only stated after updating  to Lion.
    Help and other ideals or fixs in the the users/library that I should be looking at?

    3) After entry my Apple ID Info: Here where I have the problem starts. The update will not download and all I get is the clock of spin.  It just spins  and spins.  No draw timebar and no download.

    Click OK.
    Restart your Mac. Launch the Mac App Store.

  • ITunes not updating iDevices on Sync

    Just bought a new iMac and decided it was time for a clean start so I didn't import my old prefs, etc w/ Migration Assistant. Instead I just did a drag and drop with all my data files, including the iTunes Folder and Mobile Applications Folder. I then updated about 100 apps via iTunes and tried to sync my iDevices. The backup seemed to happen, but none of the apps were updated. However, if I went to my Apps section in iTunes with the iDevice plugged in I could hit a button on the respective app to manually update at next sync.
    So bottom line: iTunes won't automatically update  all apps on iDevice at sync, but I can manually update individual ones.
    I've never experienced this before, but I'm not that versed on iTunes 11 either. Am I missing a setting somewhere? The only one I see is to automatically download NEW apps, which isn't my problem here.
    All devices are using the current version of iOS 6.

    Same here.  I have to search for and manually hit the update button on each one to get them to sync.

  • After trying recommended fixes, iPad apps still do not update

    I am having an issue where my iPad apps do not update. I go to the app store, select update all, and enter my password. The black lines appear under the appropriate apps, but stay black. New apps also do not download. My network connection appears to be fine. This happened another time a month or so ago and I had to completely reset my iPad to fix it. Since this is becoming common, I do not want to have to keep starting from scratch for the fix. I have looked at many recommendations online and have tried them. Here is what I have unsuccessfully tried:
    I signed out of the store on my iPad, restarted and signed back in.
    I reset the settings.
    I updated and synced my apps from iTunes on my computer.
    I updated to the latest version of iTunes.
    If someone could provide a permanent fix, I would appreciate it. I would prefer not to have to completely reset my iPad once a month.

    Try this:
    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.
    Reset 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), then let go of the buttons.
    Do any of the app icons say Waiting. If so, tap on an app icon that says Waiting.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Apps stock and not updating

    Hi,
    For the past 10 days more than 5 apps on my iPhone and iPad are stuck and not updating. Can anyone help please.

    1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
    2. Connect to iTune; and Check for available download (under Store). When download is completed, sync to iPad.

  • Any Apple related (Mac app store, itunes, software update) doesn't connect

    First recently I had a problem with Mac app store. "Store News" a free app showed on my update tab but I've never downloaded that app before. It was not even installed on my mac or showing under my apps. The worst was when I clicked on update button for the app it asked for another account to login. I could not update the app or remove it because for this app that weird account was required! I asked for Apple support and they told me to get help from the developer. I did and they were amazing but the problem was not the app but Mac app store was hacked! And Apple doesn't admit that so they suggested me to kill my mac and reinstall my system! I didn't (yet!) because I heard about one big update at app store before Lion and thought "maybe this solve everything!". BUT when I tried to get software update it didn't connect. After trying to update my system, neither app store and itunes connect.
    My internet connection is working fine, I can browse, download, mail works fine. BUT I cannot connect to software update, itunes or app store. Why?
    So I manually downloaded the 10.6.8 combo update and installed hoping I could get things back to normal. Even after the update I still can't connect those services. Anybody having the same issue?
    Thanks.

    ... i think Jason is referring to Apple Software Update for Windows, and is checking to see if that is working properly for him:
    How to tell if Software Update for Windows is working correctly when no updates are available
    (not entirely sure of course, given the Windows Update reference.)
